121. Conserving biodiversity for the future health of the planet
Many ideas for EU-funded projects are born in the quest to further scientific research, particularly in areas where little information exists.
This applies to the project CoralFISH, which has uncovered information on how fish use their habitats in the deep sea, and as a result new tools and methodologies have been developed to address this lack of data.
The project partners also assessed the interaction between corals, fish and fisheries, and then used this information to develop monitoring and predictive modelling tools for ecosystem-based management in the deep waters of Europe and beyond.

126. Why climate change is causing upset stomachs in Europe
Much has been said about the effect of climate change, but little is known about its impact of water-related health issues.
Scientists are now suggesting that greater quantities of rainfall and bigger storms could be responsible for more unsettled stomachs in parts of Europe.
The VIROCLIME project has studied the impact of climate change on the transport, fate and risk management of viral pathogens in water.

127. Xavier Damman (BE): What are your main concerns for the future?
I guess my main concern about the future is Europe's ability to move forward. Because Europe used to be this big boat that is really stable and doesn't take a lot of decisions and I really believe that the world is changing really quickly right now and we need to be able to adapt to it, also as quickly as possible.

128. Steven Pauwels (BE): How do you see research and innovation making a difference for a better future?
Research & innovation is very important but equally important, I think, is to help those researchers implement their inventions. So when governments fund research, they should also help those researchers think of a business plan maybe, or what are the practical usages of their research, because I think in a lot of projects, now, you have the scientists and they find these amazing things and then it stops, because they're not business people. So, I think, this synergy of business and science could really help us further.

129. Catherine Deltenre (BE): What are your main concerns for the future?
I would say, first the rise of nationalism, or even regionalism in our country, the end of Europe, or some kind of a doom scenario like that, global warming and the rising in the occurence of cancers or important diseases.
