An EU-backed project is calling for innovative solutions to make urban food systems more sustainable.

A recently released policy brief takes a look at the assessment of current practices and their importance in the transition towards sustainable extractive industries.

An EU-backed project’s liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage tank has passed key vibration and leakage tests, bringing it one step closer to realising a zero-emission commercial flight.

Successful flight demonstrations show what a detect and avoid (DAA) system on board an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) can achieve in real-life collision scenarios.

New tool aims to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency of floating offshore wind farms.

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) is pooling European resources to place Europe at the head of the global supercomputing race. A CORDIS Projects Info Pack showcases nine projects to promote green computing and technological autonomy in Europe.

An EU-backed project is supporting municipalities in their efforts to provide safe, renewable and low-cost energy to citizens across Europe. The second call for applicants is now open.

When it comes to reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere, Kári Helgason from the CarbFix2 project says there is no single magic solution. While planting trees is important, it must be done in conjunction with other solutions and mitigation efforts.

Seen from above, the world’s greatest rivers can be recognised by their serpentine curves. But how do these shapes form, do they alter over time and does this matter? We turned to our river system expert, Carmelo Juez.

A scorching summer has seen people endure record-breaking temperatures across the globe. We ask climate expert Markus Donat if the sky’s the limit.

An EU-backed project’s innovative approach is making mobile network architectures more efficient and sustainable.

Despite a century of technological advances, weather forecasts struggle to see beyond 2 weeks. Climate expert Ted Shepherd says chaos theory can explain why.

Temperatures in the Arctic drop as low as -70 °C. But loads of insects live in and on the frozen lands. So why don’t they freeze solid? We asked our Arctic ecology expert Terry Callaghan to thaw through this polar mystery.

An EU project named in honour of the founder of modern nursing is developing a novel toolkit to help first responders as they go about saving lives.

EU-backed researchers are using serious games and gamification to engage consumers in energy efficiency.

An innovative offshore wind platform passes successful first test off the Canary Islands, creating promises for more sustainable and environmentally friendly floating wind farms.

It is time to think past cars, trains and buses. The future way of urban mobility is in the air. So next time you find yourself stuck in traffic, look to the sky.
