11. Enhanced solar power by dry-cooled energy generation
A cutting edge system is being developed to deploy more solar-based energy plants, enabling the delivery of cleaner power more efficiently, while keeping Europe at the leading edge of energy technologies.
The aim of the EU-funded MACCSOL project ('The Development and Verification of a Novel Modular Air Cooled Condenser for Enhanced Concentrated Solar Power Generation') has been to develop more efficient dry cooling technologies.
The project's new 'modular air-cooled condenser' (MACC) incorporates sensors that can detect changes in temperature, ambient wind, and fan flow rate, all of which control algorithms to continuously vary fan speed.

13. Julien Defrance (BE): What is needed to exit the crisis and help Europe's economy to grow?
On its own, Europe is not responsible of the crisis. I think Europe has done plenty of good things but we need to calm down a bit the investors and not trying to find always the best interest. I don't think obligation, European obligations such as Greece and other, have to be on the market I think, personally, that's the reason why the crisis is so high todays, that they're speculating on products that are involving our daily life every day.

15. New approach to improve the integration of earth observation data
One of the fundamental challenges in the 21st Century is to achieve a greater understanding of the complex interactions between environment and human society.
To meet this challenge, the social and environmental sciences need to be better integrated, to move from disciplinary to multidisciplinary research and close the gap between citizens, scientists and policy makers.
The EU-funded EuroGEOSS project ('European approach to GEOSS'), with EUR 6 million in European funding, asked: what kind of information systems do we need to facilitate this major multi-disciplinary research effort?

16. Rapid response to mitigate the effects of maritime disasters (SUSY)
The propagation of spillages after ship disasters is one of the biggest threats to the marine environment. Instead of focussing on cleaning up the mess, a new EU-funded system will prevent or lessen spillages from the outset, by stabilising vessels in the crucial moments immediately after an accident.

18. Success Stories - Banishing the "black cloud": How rice research could clear Egypt's skies
It's a phenomenon known locally as the "black cloud", and it plagues Egypt every autumn after the rice harvest: an estimated 4 million tonnes of rice straw is burnt every season, spewing some 80,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the skies. It leaves a choking, toxic layer of thick smog hanging just 25 meters above over the entire Nile valley for weeks, and adds to the already polluted air over the Cairo megalopolis.
