The protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) hampers the delivery of drugs for the treatment of brain cancer, bacterial infections and diseases of the central nervous system. Through innovative drugs derived from viral proteins, INPACT researchers hope to put an end to acquired drug-resistance and deliver pharmaceuticals across the BBB.

Although industrial robots execute complex repetitive tasks more efficiently, reliably and precisely than humans, SMEs are reluctant to use them because of complicated and expensive set-up and maintenance. An EU initiative has overcome these hurdles with a new-fangled robot workcell.

Manipulation of a pest’s natural enemies is a novel approach to pest control. However, this requires a detailed understanding of the ecological consequences of pest invasion and how the pests’ natural enemies locate their hosts.

Many invasive herbivorous insects are major economic pests. A significant threat to agriculture, they inflict even greater damage than local species due to the absence of their native natural enemies. They can be accidentally introduced into non-native ecosystems by humans or extend their geographical range towards the poles due to global warming.

Reaching climate targets, while maintaining sustainable economic growth and social cohesion, needs a revolution in how we operate across multiple sectors. One project offers a step-change for increased energy efficiency.

If the European Union is to meet its Energy Roadmap objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95 % by 2050 (compared to 1990 levels), it must accelerate plans for increased energy efficiency. A sustainable and long-term approach to district heating and cooling (DHC) is part of accomplishing such a transformation.

A real-time sampling and monitoring system developed on EU project ODORPREP tackles the nuisance of bad smells – a common cause of complaints in towns in Europe

Landfill sites, water treatment plants, paper mills and food factories are just some of the causes of odours, a growing problem in urban settlements in Europe and almost as distressing as noise. Odour emissions need not be such a nuisance, however, thanks to an on-demand system for monitoring and sampling the air, developed by EU project ODORPREP.

EU project InnoSpaceComm helped open a new ground station in Bulgaria for CubeSats to transmit and receive space data affordably. It also gave hundreds of young Europeans hands-on experience in space communication.

Satellites have come a long way since the first one, Sputnik 1, blasted into space back in 1957. Nowadays, you don’t need to be part of a space agency to launch one: some mini-satellites now cost less than the price of a flat in most European cities.

Οι υποτροφίες απευθύνονται σε ερευνητές από όλα τα επιστημονικά πεδία που ενδιαφέρονται να συνεχίσουν τις σπουδές τους στην Ελβετία και αφορούν ερευνητικά προγράμματα ενός έτους σε επίπεδο διδακτορικών ή μετα-διδακτορικών σπουδών, καθώς και διδακτορικά προγράμματα. Επίσης προσφέρονται υποτροφίες για μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στους τομείς των Τεχνών.

TranSYS, coordinated by Prof. K Van Steen (KU Leuven), will recruit 15 ESRs (Early Stage Researchers) to highly skilled jobs in the new area of Systems Health developing tools and approaches to exploit large and complex datasets, to advance Precision (Personalised) Medicine in several disease areas. The training programme and experience of different international research environments cuts across traditional data and life sciences silos. The emphasis on translational research will support new collaborations between academics and the pharma and health analytics sectors.

Στους παρακάτω συνδέσμους μπορείτε να ενημερωθείτε για υποτροφίες στο εξωτερικό. Οι θέσεις αυτές αποτελούν ένα μέρος των θέσεων που αναρτώνται καθημερινά σε διάφορους ιστότοπους και κατηγοριοποιούνται σε κύριες ομάδες ανάλογα με το αντικείμενο απασχόλησης.

With the data explosion generated by high-performing, broadband-enabled digital devices, data centres have become critical modern infrastructure. But at unsustainable levels of energy consumption, new solutions are now essential.

It has been calculated that data centres use around 200 terawatt hours of electricity annually, equating to about 1 % of global electricity demand. Some forecasts predict this demand will grow to around 7 % in little over a decade.

The human visual brain can learn and adapt to an ever-changing visual environment. Increasing our knowledge about the stability and plasticity of the visual brain can boost innovation in healthcare and technology such as artificial intelligence.

The EU-funded FGFSTAB project is producing robust fibroblast growth factors with the high operational stability needed for use in regenerative medicine.

Across much of the developed world, populations are becoming older, more obese, and increasingly prone to such chronic diseases as diabetes. As a result, the global wound-care market is rapidly evolving, with innovative fibroblast growth factor (FGF) products driving the field of regenerative medicine.

There is evidence, especially in plants, that epigenetic changes, created in individual organisms because of environmental stresses, can be passed down through the generations and become fixed. Would harsh environments surrounding early dogs, combined with selective breeding, show traces of this epigenetically-mediated evolution? One project set out to answer the question.

There are a numerous historical documents and objects that substantiate cultural movements and forms against communism in Europe. However, the collections in which the documents and objects are created are scattered and largely unfamiliar to the wider public. An EU-funded project has a solution.

Following the linear economic approach in the building sector is resulting in avoidable waste and resource depletion. The BAMB project has developed tools inspired by the circular economy, at levels not previously possible.

According to Eurostat, the European built environment is responsible for around 40 % of our energy consumption, 35 % of total GHG emissions, 50 % of resource extraction and 33 % of waste production.

A consortium from 16 countries on EU project AHEAD developed technologies and research infrastructure for high-energy astrophysics.

Scientists from 26 organisations and companies in 16 European countries pooled their talents to develop cutting-edge technologies and research infrastructure to learn more about the universe.

The AHEAD team has helped prepare the continent for the Athena mission, the massive X-ray space observatory, due to be launched by the European Space Agency in 2030.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology incorporates solar features into buildings to produce electricity. Several market barriers need to be overcome to achieve the ambitious energy efficiency targets set by the EU.

The BIPV market is growing, thanks mainly to increasingly demanding legislation on the energy performance of buildings. However, market uptake has been hindered by the lack of holistic solutions that comply with key demands from decision-makers and end users.

Overcoming existing BIPV technology challenges
