The EU-funded PROCETS project is using nano-particles to produce environmentally-friendly composite coatings that will better protect our infrastructure from the costly effects of wear, tear and corrosion.

Wear, tear and corrosion of building materials currently cost developed countries a 3-4 % loss in GDP every year. Billions of euros are spent annually on replacing corroded infrastructure. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the surface engineering of protective coatings is big business – and one that is critical to the competitiveness of EU industry.

Today’s rigorous airport security measures are effective but can result in long queues, increased waiting times, passenger dissatisfaction and escalating costs. There’s a need for more efficient security with convenience, faster and more secure border crossings, and an enhanced passenger experience at airports.

Operating an electronic device normally needs full nerve and muscle control. EU-funded research has now developed a computer system controlled by eye movements and mental commands to help the disabled stay in touch with the digital world.

Using a mouse and keyboard requires accurate motor control from a healthy nervous and muscular system. Recently developed alternative means of accessing the web include eye and mind control.

In Europe alone, there are almost 30 million people who suffer from asthma. The myAirCoach project provides an innovative smart inhaler device along with integrated mobile Health (mHealth) personalised asthma monitoring services for empowering and guiding patients with asthma to manage their own health on a daily basis.

The EU’s Common Agricultural policy sets out to support farmers, while fostering the sustainable use of resources. It has shaped farming in the EU and its sheer scope, both geographically and in terms of the nature of what it covers, makes it sometimes challenging to comprehend. One EU-supported project is helping with compliance.

The RECAP project aims to help public administrations when it comes to monitoring farmers’ compliance to CAP rules (Cross Compliance and Greening) and to enable farmers to comply with the regulations.

The EU-supported Smart-AKIS thematic network presents farmers, advisors, researchers, entrepreneurs, innovation brokers, and others interested in the subject, with what new technological developments are rolling out.

From commercial smart farming technologies (SFT) that can be harnessed now, to innovative ideas that will shape the future, the Smart-AKIS project wanted to let those who could benefit from the application of new technologies to their farming practices, know what’s out there.

Deteriorating demographics challenge the ability to provide the elderly with care services at home. An EU initiative has addressed the issue by creating an innovative robot to assist those suffering from mild cognitive impairments and dementia.

The old-to-young population ratio in modern societies is increasing. This progressively hinders the capacity to provide proper care-giving services to older persons in their daily life at home. Service robots could help in this regard and share some responsibilities with human caregivers.

The causal relationship between ageing and neurodegenerative diseases is well known. The AGE-MEMORY project demonstrated that the balanced ‘self-eating’ of nerve cell organelles, ‘neuronal autophagy’, could protect from neurological disorders that accumulate during ageing.

A bioeconomy uses renewable resources and helps society meet current environmental challenges so consumers need to be aware of the benefits of bio-based products.
