EU-funded researchers believe that better coordinated tax regimes will increase economic stability and prevent a damaging race to the bottom, where countries compete for the lowest tax rates.
Students across Europe are learning about the Arctic and participating in polar, environmental and climate research thanks to an EU-funded project that aims to raise the attractiveness of science education and future scientific careers.
A huge amount of biological knowledge and clinical data is incrementally generated, but this wealth of information is not fully exploited - while bioinformatics tools exist, they are currently underused. EU-funded researchers are now developing applications that will make it easier for translational scientists to access the data and use it for research that will improve healthcare.
A loan supported by the InnovFin-EU finance for innovators initiative under the EU's Horizon 2020 programme and extended by the European Investment Bank has helped Dutch 3D printing company Ultimaker strengthen its R&D and release new products. This will add to Ultimaker printers' already wide range of uses which includes making prosthetics and recycling plastic.
An EU-funded study is exploring agricultural practices and EU policies related to drinking water quality and the use of pesticides and nitrogen. Results will inform an integrated EU response to a major environmental and health challenge.
Like it, love it, loathe it? How you interpret a painting, photo or sculpture draws on a combination of cognitive processes. EU-funded researchers have shed new light on the role of different parts of the brain in shaping our impressions of art – with possible implications for the treatment of conditions such as Parkinson's.
The ICEC project, funded by the JPI Urban Europe, helped urban policy-makers tackle the challenge of integration by focusing on what works - and what doesn't - within a city's super diverse neighbourhoods.
EU-funded researchers have developed novel mathematical models and tools to better prepare financial markets for the unexpected, addressing many of the shortfalls of classical modelling approaches that dramatically failed to predict the 2008 financial crisis.
How does the past inform the lives of children and young people? A global team of EU-funded researchers is examining this issue by assessing how stories from classical antiquity impact on popular culture and society. The project’s results and outputs will provide valuable resources for scholars and teachers.
An EU-funded project has brought museums, galleries and cultural decision-makers closer to citizens, encouraged the digitalisation of archives, and promoted public participation in cultural discussions.
