New ways to diagnose and treat complex brain disorders
Dementia, epilepsy and sleep apnoea can be difficult to diagnose and treat. By integrating patient data from sleep studies, electroencephalograms, MRIs and bio-samples, as well as data coming from wearable devices such as smartwatches, a new platform helps clinicians make timely and accurate diagnoses. In doing so, it ensures that patients get the right treatment right away.

Climate-smart tools for climate-resilient agriculture
With agriculture increasingly impacted by climate change, farmers need data-based tools to know when to irrigate, fertilise and harvest their crops. The EU-funded STARGATE project answers this need by combining satellite data with advanced weather models, sensor measurements and historical climate records. The result is a high-resolution solution that farmers can use to make climate-smart decisions.

How Europe’s research labs and pharma firms learned to talk to each other
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.
