The Commission held the first annual review meeting of the Human Brain Project (HBP) in January in Brussels. This technical review covers the period 01/10/2013 – 30/09/2014.
CIMPLEX project will develop novel modeling, computational and ICT tools needed to predict and influence disease spread and other contagion phenomena in complex social systems.
The technology behind the design of electric vehicles is ever improving and the EU predicts that these vehicles could be in mass production by 2020. By developing a completely new way of using information from GPS and location data shown by GSM, the EU DATA SIM project simulated the consequences of a massive switch to electric vehicles, and studied the impact on mobility and electricity distribution networks.
CREA (Network of summer academies for the improvement of entrepreneurship in innovative sectors) is a new Horizon 2020 project which started in January 2015. CREA will test 2 editions of its Summer Academy, simultaneously organized in 6 European Cities (Milan, Stuttgart, Ljubljana, Newcastle,Tallin, Utrecht), which will end with an international event (CREA ICT Business Idea Contest) where its results will be presented to international investors and a prize will be awarded.
The three-year 'Robotic Manipulation for Nuclear Sort and Segregation' (RoMaNs) project will receive a total of €6.4 million through Horizon 2020. It aims to develop an autonomous robotics system for nuclear waste handling. This will avoide environmental hazards and dangerous working conditions.
You probably already heard about graphene, but do you know its "cousin" silicene? Learn more about silicene in this blog post from Athanasios Dimoulas, coordinator of the FET Open 2D-NANOLATTICES project, the first European project aimed to study silicene, a 2D semiconductor.
