EURATOM: Further integrating Radiation Protection research in the EU
This project to achieve greater integration of radiation protection research in the EU is part of the EURATOM sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Protecting people and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of ionising radiation remains a challenge in the context of the expansion of radiation-related practices in the EU, especially in the […]
EURATOM: Safety Research and Innovation for advanced nuclear systems
This project to research and innovate in the field of safety for advanced nuclear systems is part of the EURATOM sub-programme of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Advanced nuclear systems for increased sustainability and first Generation-IV reactors are expected to be fully operational around the world in coming decades. In the meantime, all new concepts and […]
Horizonte 2020: Produce components for various materials, including for food and feed, from microalgae
Due to their high productivity and their potential for avoiding competition with arable lands, microalgae are regarded as a valuable feedstock for biorefining operations. Microalgae are a potential source of molecules for a wide range of novel high-value products in different applications such as energy, fuel, food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetics. However, their current production […]
Sustainable Nano-Fabrication (CSA)
Nanotechnology research has led to a remarkable development of nanoscale materials in bulk form with unique properties. Several of these materials are in the market or are expected to enter the market in the near future. The challenge is to establish industrial scale manufacturing of functional systems based on manufactured nanoparticles with designed properties for […]
