Children arriving in a new country often face inequalities in school. To help overcome this barrier, the EU-funded NEW ABC project developed a range of educational tools and activities geared towards empowering migrant and refugee children. In doing so, the project helped support more inclusive schools and stronger community integration.
Europe’s research labs and pharmaceutical companies are both working to discover new drugs, but often speak different dialects. EU-OPENSCREEN was set up to change this by creating a continent-wide research infrastructure for chemical biology and early drug discovery. Within the EU-funded EU-OPENSCREEN-DRIVE project, one of the most effective tools turned out to be not a new machine or invention, but an office with a deceptively simple name: the Industry Liaison Office.
T cell therapies are specifically tuned to a patient’s individual tumour, but choosing the right marker is key. A new method for identifying neoantigens in non-small cell lung cancer opens the door to improved treatments. The EU-funded CANVAS project set up a joint pilot study to further the work.

The results suggest improved ‘EU literacy’ across Europe could encourage political participation.
