For policy-makers in Europe, scientific, engineering and technological innovations offer opportunities to improve life for European citizens and provide benefits for sustainable development worldwide.
The Audio-Visual Gestalt Workshop was held at Bremen (Germany) in September, with the participation of 34 participants from 8 countries. This workshop was a unique opportunity to present the ongoing work in European FP7 funded projects that tackle various aspects of Audio-Visual Gestalt concept.
Connecting experts with their counterparts in different regions of the world and making the latest research results freely available to all is likely to represent a great boost for the scientific inquiry. The EUAsiaGrid project helped establish an Asian e-Science Grid Infrastructure that fosters access to scientific data and facilitates the creation of collaborative partnerships
Australia is about as far away from Europe as one can get. This vast distance had historically made it challenging to build concrete long term relationships and undertake joint scientific projects with European researchers.
Although home to 18% of the global population – around 1.15 billion people – India only has around 4% of the world’s fresh water resources. With climate change and urbanisation increasing the pressure on a scarce resource, an EU-funded project’s improvement of natural water treatment systems couldn’t come at a better time.

Le Ministère de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche (M.E.S.R.) organise une réunion nationale d'information sur la coopération internationale dans Horizon 2020, le 6 mars 2014 à Paris de 14h à 17h30.
L'objectif de cette rencontre est de permettre aux acteurs concernés de s'informer et de se préparer aux appels à projets.
The Directorate-General for Research & Innovation is organising five symposia at this year's AAAS annual meeting.
Many efforts are being made at a governmental and global level to reduce deforestation and other major contributors to climate change. The REDD-ALERT project focused on how such international and national policy initiatives – for example, the discussions taking place under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – could be translated into ideas for action on the ground.
Today, we are faced with the challenge of providing safe, nutritious and affordable food for the world's ever increasing population.
Transparency, security and reliability of individual containers are factors that are incredibly difficult to verify in the world of international goods transport.
Sequencing the mouse and human genomes has provided scientists detailed knowledge of both species’ genetic composition, and highlighted their startling similarity.
For pilots, one of the most difficult skills to learn is ‘upset recovery’ – righting a plane that has stalled or been thrown into an unstable situation due to weather or a technical problem.
EU-funded researchers are identifying and treating patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in West Africa with the aim of reducing their risk of dying from liver cancer. The researchers are also developing a new test to identify those with liver cancer, so treatment can be given sooner – saving more lives.
The UN Security Council has expressed concerns that the adverse effects of climate change could lead to threats to international peace and security. In order to improve 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.
Coralie Chanvillard is an early stage researcher undertaking a PhD in Berlin, under the ITN Grant of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme.
