Strengthening disaster resilience: positivity, equity and collaboration
The Center for Disaster Protection works to improve global disaster preparedness and resilience through proactive risk management and financial strategies. As climate change intensifies and disasters become more common, it is clear that we need to strengthen our disaster preparedness. Effective disaster management involves not only responding to crises, but also being proactive and working […]
High-resolution imagery for high-precision digital elevation models
On the remote island of Tristan da Cunha, high-resolution satellite and drone imagery will be integrated to create an accurate digital elevation model. Medium-resolution global digital elevation models (DEMs), such as SRTM and ASTER GDEM, have supported geoscience research for more than 20 years. However, many environmental and hazard-related applications, such as landslide risk, flooding, […]
PFAS Treatment: Search, Capture, Destroy
A sustainable end-to-end approach to PFAS management. PFAS are a large group of persistent synthetic chemicals that are widely used in industrial processes and consumer products. Resistance to degradation has increased pollution of emissions into drinking water, wastewater, groundwater, soil, and air. With increased regulation across Europe and globally, utilities and industrial operators face increased […]
What the Hydrogen Nation says about hydrogen in the UK
Dr Emma Guthrie, Chief Executive of the Hydrogen Energy Association, outlines that the HEA’s recently published First Hydrogen Nation Report reveals that the limiting factor is no longer whether we can produce hydrogen, but whether we can generate profitable demand at the pace. We are extremely proud of the breadth of information, statistical evidence and […]
Developing safe and sustainable alternatives to hazardous substances
DESIDERATA accelerates the transition to safer chemistry by developing sustainable alternatives to hazardous materials used in lubricants, coatings, and chemical components. DESIDERATA brings together 16 partners from 13 European countries under Horizon Europe (CORDIS) to translate the EU’s safe and sustainable design framework into real-world chemical innovation. This project focuses on developing safer alternatives to […]
Building an HPC ecosystem for tomorrow’s ARM-based supercomputers
The EUPEX Pilot aims to demonstrate Europe’s readiness to build a fully sovereign ARM-based supercomputer from chip to software. High performance computing (HPC) has quietly become one of the key pillars of modern society. From climate modeling and weather forecasting to drug discovery, artificial intelligence, industrial design, and energy optimization, supercomputers currently power some of […]
Bringing Finland to the forefront of the clean hydrogen economy
Finland’s clean hydrogen revolution is accelerating in Oulu thanks to the University of Oulu’s cutting-edge research program H2FUTURE. Finland is rapidly establishing itself as a hub for clean hydrogen development, and the northern city of Oulu is at the forefront of this green revolution. In 2025, the City of Oulu and the French company Verso […]
Unleash cow efficiency to improve climate-friendly productivity
How Agcent’s CH4 and CO2 measurement technology and genomic tools are transforming beef production by identifying more efficient and profitable cows that increase productivity and naturally reduce methane production. Advanced measurement tools are leading a fundamental change in how the livestock industry approaches sustainability. Technologies such as Agcent Air GHG and genetics make it clear […]
The hidden networks behind Europe’s digital infrastructure
Jennifer Holmes, CEO of London Internet Exchange, explores the resilience and readiness of Europe’s digital infrastructure. The story of Europe’s digital infrastructure is increasingly measured by mobile speed. The speed of 5G deployment, coverage map peaks and lags, and the potential and promise of 6G deployment are the strongest indicators of innovation, but this mobile […]
Bavaria invests €78 million in new hub for human spaceflight
Germany is laying the foundations for the next chapter of human spaceflight with a major investment in a new mission control facility near Munich. The Human Exploration Control Center (HECC) will be built on the grounds of the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen and will expand Europe’s capabilities for manned robotic missions to the Moon […]
