INNO2MARE: Advancing Green and Digital Innovation in Europe’s Maritime Regions

Across Europe’s coastal regions, the maritime sector is at a turning point. Increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact, improve safety, and adopt digital technologies is reshaping industries that are vital to regional economies. In this context, the Horizon Europe project INNO2MARE stands out as a coordinated effort to strengthen innovation in the maritime ecosystems of […]

LoLiPoP IoT: Extending the Battery Life of Smart Systems Across Europe

Across Europe’s factories, transport networks, and buildings, a quiet transformation is underway. Wireless sensors—small, often unnoticed devices—form the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, enabling asset tracking, condition monitoring, and smarter operations. Yet one persistent limitation has constrained their full potential: battery life. The Horizon Europe project LoLiPoP IoT (Long Life Power Platforms for Internet of

Valuing Europe’s Marine Ecosystems: How MARBEFES Connects Biodiversity, Economy and Society

Across Europe’s vast and diverse seas—from Arctic waters to the subtropical Atlantic—an ambitious scientific effort is underway to answer a deceptively simple question: what are our oceans truly worth? Not only in environmental terms, but in measurable ecological, economic and societal value. The EU-funded MARBEFES project is addressing this challenge by redefining how marine ecosystems

NerveRepack: Advancing Neuroprosthetics Through EU-Funded Innovation

Across Europe, a new wave of scientific collaboration is redefining how severe physical disabilities are addressed. At the intersection of neuroscience, microelectronics, and robotics, the EU-funded NerveRepack project is working toward a long-standing goal: enabling seamless, two-way communication between the human nervous system and intelligent prosthetic and assistive devices. Funded under Horizon Europe through the

Smarter Recovery Paths: Europe’s Data-Driven Approach to Rehabilitation

Across Europe, millions of people live with chronic conditions that require long-term rehabilitation. From Parkinson’s disease to spinal disorders and joint replacements, recovery is rarely linear—and never identical from one patient to another. Yet, many rehabilitation programmes still rely on standardised approaches that fail to reflect individual variability. The EU-funded PREPARE project is working to

RESTORE4Cs: Restoring Europe’s Coastal Wetlands for Climate and Biodiversity

Across Europe’s coastlines, a powerful yet often underutilised climate ally has long remained in the background of environmental policy and investment priorities. Salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and peatlands—collectively referred to as coastal wetlands—are among the most valuable ecosystems on the continent. They store significant amounts of carbon, act as natural buffers against coastal erosion, and

SPRINTER: Advancing the Communication Backbone of Europe’s Smart Industry

In the transition towards a fully digitalised industrial future, communication systems are becoming as critical as the machines they connect. Modern factories are no longer isolated production lines but dynamic, data-driven ecosystems where milliseconds matter and reliability is essential. Against this backdrop, the EU-funded SPRINTER project is advancing the next generation of industrial communication—making networks

Seeing Emergencies More Clearly: The TEMA Project and the Future of Disaster Management

Across Europe, the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires and floods highlight a critical need: faster, more precise, and more reliable information during emergencies. The Horizon Europe project TEMA — Trusted Extremely Precise Mapping and Prediction for Emergency Management — responds to this challenge by integrating advanced technologies into a unified platform designed to support

TERRAMETA: Engineering the Invisible Highways of Europe’s 6G Future

Across Europe, a quiet transformation is underway—one that is set to redefine how societies communicate, work, and interact with digital environments. At the centre of this shift is TERRAMETA (TERahertz ReconfigurAble METAsurfaces for ultra-high rate wireless communications), a Horizon Europe-funded project exploring the next frontier of connectivity: terahertz (THz) communication. With a total budget of

When Robots Enter the Disaster Zone: The TRIFFID Project and the Future of Emergency Response

When disaster strikes—whether an earthquake, industrial accident, or large-scale fire—time is measured in lives. First responders must operate in unstable environments, often with limited visibility and incomplete information. In these conditions, situational awareness is as critical as speed. The Horizon Europe–funded TRIFFID project addresses this challenge by equipping emergency teams with advanced robotic support systems
