Improved connectivity is transforming daily life in rural Europe, from safer school runs to cleaner energy, while supporting local economies and cutting emissions.

Europe’s AI researchers are joining forces through an EU-funded digital platform that allows them to share tools, data and computing power to drive collaboration and innovation.

Since the UK rejoined Horizon Europe in 2024, EU-funded cross-border research with UK partners has been delivering safer, smarter, more sustainable technologies for everyday life.

EU-funded researchers are developing AI-guided robot fleets to take over the dangerous, dirty work of finding and removing marine litter from the sea floor.

Bees navigate their surroundings with astonishing precision. Their brains are now inspiring the design of tiny, low-power chips that could one day guide miniature robots and sensors.

From street-level measurements to long-term health studies, researchers are building a clearer picture of the impact of everyday exposure to 5G signals on human health.

Researchers are developing robotic “fingertips” that could give surgeons back their sense of touch during minimally invasive and robotic operations.

EU-funded researchers are using emerging technologies to create new, immersive experiences and reimagine the future of live performance.

Researchers are pushing telepresence technology beyond video calls, from Star Wars-style holograms to virtual fine dining and classrooms that leap across space.

EU-funded researchers are developing AI-powered surveillance tools to protect the vast network of subsea cables and pipelines that keep the continent’s energy and data flowing.
