On hand to open the Sea2Sky Researchers' Night in Galway, Ireland was Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, who applauded the interest taken by the public, especially the young, in the event.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-10-15:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_12_10_15_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=27454 http://ec.europa.eu/research/sse/2011/index_en.cfm Wed, 10 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-10-10:/sse/2011/index_en.cfm http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-conanx&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=25493 Food safety and security are high priority issues for the European Union at present and are at the core of current concerns of citizens, media and academics. With few exceptions, academic research on food has been fragmented, with too little interaction between food scientists, health researchers and social scientists.]]> Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-06-27:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-conanx&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=25493 http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=budget Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-03-09:/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=budget http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_12_01_13_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=23533 An EU-funded team of researchers has developed a robot able to help neurosurgeons in performing keyhole brain surgery. This robot is accurate in performance and has incredible memory, especially since it has 13 types of movement compared to the 4 available to human hands, as well as 'haptic' feedback – physical cues allowing physicians to assess tissue and perceive the amount of force applied during surgery. The ROBOCAST ('Robot and sensors integration as guidance for enhanced computer assisted surgery and therapy') project received EUR 3.45 million under the 'Information and communication technologies' Theme of the FP7.]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-01-13:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_12_01_13_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=23533 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/all_headlines_en.cfm For more information on Research policy - Current framework programme, click the link above, which will take you to the Research Headlines web site.
