Graphene Flagship project launches second Expression of Interest

The Graphene Flagship's overriding goal is to take graphene, related layered materials and hybrid systems from a state of raw potential to a point where they can revolutionise multiple industries. The Flagship is looking for new industrial partners that bring in specific industrial and technology transfer competences or capabilities that complement the present Flagship consortium. Call topics are on "Magnetic sensors" and "Functional Foams and Coatings". Deadline 22 Feb 2016.

 
Calling food and manufacturing innovators: countdown begins to the launch of new EIT innovation hubs

Today, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is offering innovators from business, higher education and research the chance to join the expanding EIT Community. The EIT is launching the 2016 Call for new Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) for the creation of two new KICs: EIT Food and EIT Manufacturing, to add to the five already up and running in the areas of climate, digital, energy, health and raw materials innovation.

 
A focus on patients - The Innovative Medicines Initiative in action

Patients are at the heart of the EU’s innovative medicines initiative (IMI) that seeks to speed up the development of more effective and safer medicines. Created in 2008 as a public-private partnership, IMI plays a leading role in the EU’s efforts to remove barriers to the discovery of new treatments. It does this through collaborative research projects and by building networks of industrial, academic experts, researchers, regulators, clinicians and patients.

 
DOMEO | Turning a robot into a companion for frail people

The robot Kompaï helps older, dependent or disabled people to live independently at home for as long as possible. Kompaï was designed to accommodate in particular people suffering from cognitive decline. People can be safe at home and stay in permanent connection to the outside world due to internet access and dedicated applications in Kompaï.

 
FATE | Monitoring devices helping fall detection

The fall detector validated in the FATE project is a highly sensitive device for fall detection. When a fall is detected, a message is sent to a phone number of a relative, carer or alarm monitoring centre. The device is very small and light and can be worn in a customised belt comfortably and securely at all times. It can be easily connected to the user smartphone using Bluetooth. A proprietary App for Android makes its management very easy and transparent for the user.
