I'd say that the main concern I have is the danger of seeing Europe transform itself into a region of war again. I think nothing is taken for granted, it can happen again, look at what's happening in Greece, for example, look at the revolts of the population in Portugal. I think we should always remember that the main concern of the Founding Fathers was Never again!

3. Amélie Salmon (FR): How do you see research and innovation making a difference for a better future?
The solution is a multi-level one. You can go in very technical solutions like manage the budget, manage the Euro crisis and so on, and also manage the regulations but a good start would be to find new ideas for growth, jobs, maybe create your own job... That is part of the solution I guess.

4. Major human drug trial underway for Alzheimer's
A potentially ground-breaking human drug trial is currently underway, which aims to discover whether blood pressure medication can slow or halt the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
This is the latest in EU-funded studies, which are being made public to highlight the European Month of the Brain.
This major 18-month study is NILVAD ('Nilvadipine in Alzheimer's Disease'), which has funding of EUR 6 million from the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development.
Quality validation date:
2013-05-22

9. Success Stories - Tracking and cleaning small oil spills
Major oil spills from sinking supertankers are thankfully very rare these days. However, smaller oil spills from shipping are unfortunately still common. Most ships have some type of fuel on board and if they are involved in an accident, there is a risk of that fuel leaking into the sea.
