Expected Outcome: Projects’ results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following outcomes: Inventory and comparison of existing mobile laboratories, including heavy structures (both military and civilian) and light self-sustained systems, evaluation of quality management systems for maintenance, validation and testing. New (mobile laboratory) solutions for the fast, reliable and unambiguous detection […]
JRC launches new tool to explore the future of European energy
The JRC has launched an online tool allowing anyone to explore the energy options we have for a more sustainable future. The tool creates simple visuals from complex energy data to show how much energy is consumed in the industry, buildings and transport sectors – and what the sources of that energy are. It can […]
HORIZON EUROPE: Improved security in open-source and open-specification hardware for connected devices

Up to 78 million batteries will be discarded daily by 2025, researchers warn
An EU-funded project makes it plain: batteries need to live longer than the Internet of things (IoT) devices they power. A position paper published by the project outlines the key actions to power IoT devices reliably and sustainably. About 78 million batteries powering IoT devices will be dumped globally every day by 2025 if nothing […]
HORIZON EUROPE: ERA Chairs
Expected Outcome: Progress towards more and better links between research and innovation actors across European Research Area and beyond is a requirement if Europe as a whole is to capitalise on excellence from across the continent. To foster brain circulation for researchers and innovators the intervention point of the ERA Chairs actions is attracting in […]
HORIZON EUROPE: Teaming for Excellence
Expected Outcome: Disparities in R&I performance are due to, among other reasons, the insufficient critical mass of science and lack of centres of excellence having sufficient competence to engage countries and regions strategically in a path of innovative growth. Teaming is responding to this challenge establishing new centers of excellence or modernising existing ones with […]
We’re not much different than Neanderthals, new study shows
Only a small fraction of human DNA is unique to modern humans. We like to think of ourselves as special in the human family tree. However, our genes seem to say otherwise. According to findings published in the journal ‘Science Advances’, only 7 % of our DNA is unique to us and not shared by […]
HORIZON EUROPE: Twinning
Expected Outcome: To prevent further disparities, maximize investment in R&D and enhance economic growth, Horizon Europe is taking relevant actions under Widening participation and spreading excellence objective. Twinning actions are one of the main instruments of this objective. Twinning aims to enhance networking activities between the research institutions of the Widening countries and top-class leading […]
