Expected Outcome An important element of the European Hydrogen strategy is to support liquid hydrogen(LH2) deployment for various usages and to allow the energy transportation over longer distances. A further important element of the Hydrogen strategy is to contribute to the cost decrease by importing energy from low-cost zones by development of an international hydrogen […]
Horizon Europe: Industrial Research & Validation for Civil-military Interoperability & Coordination
Expected Outcome Project results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes. Environment. AI will enable the optimisation of aircraft trajectories, potentially reducing the aviation environmental footprint. Capacity. AI will play a fundamental role in aviation/ATM to address airspace capacity shortages, enabling dynamic configuration of the airspace and allowing dynamic spacing separation between aircraft. Cost-efficiency. AI will […]
Pilot European innovation gender and diversity index
Scope The limited diversity of talent in the tech world is frequently identified as an issue that can hamper the performance and growth of innovative start-ups and scale-ups, and as such is a concern for the European Innovation Council. In particular, high diversity in terms of gender and ethnicity has been correlated with higher financial […]
Horizon Europe: Compatibility of Distribution non-steel metallic gas grid materials with hydrogen
Expected Outcome In its strategic vision for a climate-neutral EU (to meet the carbon neutrality in 2050) presented by the European Commission on 28th November 2018, the share of hydrogen in Europe’s energy mix is projected to grow from the current less than 2% to 13-14% by 2050. In order for hydrogen to claim such […]
Integration of multi-MW electrolysers in industrial applications
Expected Outcome This flagship project is expected to pave the way for further large-scale integration of electrolyser systems in industrial applications in the framework of fully commercial operations. The project should demonstrate in an operational industrial environment improved electrolysis technology at a scale of >25MW, configured to provide the necessary reliability of supply at the lowest […]
ERC Proof of Concept Grants
Objectives The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim to maximise the value of the excellent research that the ERC funds, by funding further work (i.e. activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) to verify the innovation potential of ideas arising from ERC funded projects. Proof of Concept […]
New pan-European partnership on Culture and Creativity
Today, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) announced its Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) on Culture and Creativity, adding to the already existing eight Communities, which address a pressing societal challenge: climate, digital, energy, health, raw materials, food, manufacturing, urban mobility. The EIT launched a call for proposals for the new KIC in October 2021, inviting applicants […]
Statement by President von der Leyen with Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez
Dear Prime Minister, dear Pedro, I am very glad to see you here. This is a very special moment we have, because today is a real landmark in relations between the European Union and Latin American and Caribbean countries. Because we are launching a new partnership for vaccines and medicines made in Latin America, for […]
Horizon Europe: Design and industrial deployment of innovative manufacturing processes for fuel cells and fuel cell components
Expected Outcome Fuel cells offer the highest electrical efficiency for conversion of chemically stored energy. They can significantly contribute to an efficient use of produced hydrogen carriers and to the reduction of overall CO2 emissions. The Clean Hydrogen Joint undertaking has a set a vision to reach for 2030 accumulated fuel cell installed power of >2.5 […]
