Feasibility analysis of a railway safety service based on EGNSS
There are currently more than 20 rail signalling systems in Europe since each country has developed its own railway infrastructure, equipment and operational rules. This has led to increased costs and technical and operational complexity. Therefore, the European Rail Industry, supported by the EU Institutions, is working on the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), […]
H2020. Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing: Next generation organ-on-chip
Organ-on-Chip’ (OoC) is a promising technology for achieving more effective in-vitro research in a broad range of life science sectors, including medicine and pharmacy, cosmetics, agriculture and food, and for chemical safety testing including regulatory testing. Specific Challenge More effective drug development, efficacy, and safety screening, would reduce the need for animal testing and clinical […]
Seeking energy efficiency in aircrafts
An emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of aircraft means EU-funded scientists have been researching ways to reduce drag using an aircraft’s small, active components to make them more energy-efficient and reduce emissions. Reductions in carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from aircraft are directly related to an aircraft’s fuel burn, drag and aircraft weight. […]
5G: a potencial market for GSA
5G will deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity that will open the door to a new generation of applications. The market reports predicts that several mobile 5G commercial launches will take place over the next three years in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe, with 1.2 billion 5G connections expected in 2025 according to the GSM Association […]
Europe’s economy is increasingly dependent on space
The European Parliament had always supported Europe’s space ambitions, and the EU Space Programs will need this ongoing support in the future. The role of the GSA European GNSS Agency (GSA) Executive Director Carlo des Dorides spoke about his Agency’s market development efforts and success stories, beginning with EGNOS, Europe’s satellite-based augmentation service. EGNOS was […]
A minimally-invasive prognostic device for breast cancer
Dealing with suspected breast cancer is a traumatic experience, one that’s only worsened by how invasive current diagnostic and prognostic tools are. Surgical sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become the undisputed method for breast cancer prognosis since it was first reported in 1992. Steady improvements in survival rates have been observed over the past […]
Private buses join the sharing economy
The EU-funded BUSUP project is a personalised, shared corporate bus service, ideal for companies located in places where traditional public transport does not arrive. With the appearance of new mobility services, millennials have shifted from car ownership to car use (i.e. car-sharing), ridesharing (i.e. Blablacar), and ride hailing (i.e. Uber). As a consequence, corporations located […]
Remote areas can now access electricity and heat
Global climate change is largely driven by increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linked to fossil fuel combustion. A novel micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) system for small, decentralised heating and electricity needs may offer an efficient and eco-friendly alternative. Micro-CHP systems are typically more efficient and thus have lower environmental impact than conventional energy sources. […]
