Did you know that CORDIS users can use SPARQL for advanced and customized searches? SPARQL is a powerful query language and protocol used to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. RDF structures information in a machine-readable format, and SPARQL empowers users to efficiently explore linked data.

We are thrilled to bring you the very first edition of the CORDIS Newsletter, designed for our dedicated users. As the primary platform for disseminating the outcomes of EU-funded research, CORDIS takes pride in connecting you with scientific advancements and innovative projects. This newsletter marks a new chapter in our commitment to keeping you informed and empowered in navigating the wealth of knowledge available on the CORDIS website.

Environmental observations, gathered from satellites, ground-based systems and citizen science campaigns, help us understand the changing Earth system. These data provide the foundation for decision-making across sectors like agriculture, fishery, local governance, and emergency services. They are also crucial for addressing the challenges outlined in the European Green Deal.

The video series “Make the connection with EU science” is a key part of the CORDIS multimedia content. These short explanatory videos present the scientific content of selected EU research projects in a way that’s easy to digest, bringing complex ideas to life for a broad audience.

As the European Parliament elections loom on the horizon, we aim to spotlight the insights of the EU-funded EUCOMMEET project, which endeavours to address a fundamental challenge in participatory democracies like that of the EU – engaging citizens uninterested in politics.
