A suspect package in a crowded public place like a shopping mall, a train or an airport. Is it harmless? Or is it a bomb?]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-05-21:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_05_21_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=30053 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_04_25_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=29793 The UN Security Council has expressed concerns that the adverse effects of climate change could lead to certain threats to international peace and security. However, research suggests that scarcity can lead to cooperation rather than conflict. In order to improve our understanding of the factors involved, the European Union (EU)-funded CLICO project studied the world's most exposed and vulnerable areas to both floods and droughts - the Mediterranean, Middle East and Sahel (MMES) regions.]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-04-25:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_04_25_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=29793 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=a25&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=25473 Protecting maritime and land borders is a daily challenge for Europe.

This will help people assess explosive substances from a distance, making such tasks safer. The study was funded in part by the OPTIX ('Optical technologies for the identification of explosives') project, which is backed with EUR 2.49 million under the Security Theme of the FP7.]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-04-02:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_12_04_02_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=24413 http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&video=none Fri, 09 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-03-09:/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=testimonials&video=none http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=press#other Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-01-31:/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=press/other
