Smart materials reply on composite components to offer the range of desired properties, yet in some ways current manufacturing processes have not developed since the late 1960s. The FIBRALSPEC project sought to bring these more up-to-date, addressing sustainability concerns, while enhancing performance.

Our cities are becoming hotter due to heat released by human activities. This is exacerbated by heat waves occurring more often due to climate change, altering the energy balance of urban areas and thus affecting the local environment and health of residents.
Cities are much warmer than their surroundings as urban structures absorb and trap more solar and thermal radiation than soils or vegetation. Moreover, air conditioning systems, traffic emissions and industry add heat to the urban climate, helping create the urban heat island (UHI) effect.

Recent events have shed some light on the gulf that can sometimes separate privacy-wary Internet users from ICT businesses wanting to use the full potential of big data. The PRIVACY FLAG project aims to make them see eye to eye.
Recent cases like the Cambridge Analytica data scandal made us all aware of how important it is to protect our privacy when using the Internet. Yet, doing it is a different story. No one really has the time to go through the privacy settings of each app they are using, and the large spectrum of existing third-party apps can be confusing to say the least.

Humanity is becoming ever more vulnerable to adverse space weather conditions due to our increasing reliance on networked space-borne technologies. Losing one or more of the network nodes even for a short period of time will have major repercussions and cost billions of euro.

Microbes from around the world have been recruited to produce new, advanced products for cosmetics. From skin whiteners to protectors and anti-oxidants, an EU project has put them to the test.

An EU-funded project is developing intelligent systems for the energy sector to cope with current power distribution challenges and enable reliable, safe and efficient power supply.

Case studies in seven European countries have identified why society is slow in embracing energy efficiency. A new tool to identify its barriers and evaluate their impact will help policymakers overcome this challenge.

By training young researchers and bridging different fields of research, the COMANDER project has successfully helped shape the future of 5G in favour of fibre-wireless networks.
We may not realise it, but the exponential growth in the number of connected devices of all kinds – commonly known as the “Internet of Things” – is progressively driving current infrastructures into a corner.

The CITY.RISKS ecosystem, which allows citizens to share safety-critical information with authorities by means of a dedicated app, is getting close to commercialisation. Pilots are being run in London, Rome and Sofia.
When put together, increased urbanisation, recent terrorist attacks and instant information make for a bitter cocktail. According to the 2016 report on the ‘State of EU cities’, homicides may have dropped by 40 % from 2002 to 2014, yet a growing number of city dwellers feel insecure.

Video surveillance is increasingly popular within Law enforcement agencies (LEAs). But although device sophistication has reached an all-time high, state-of-the-art technology is still expensive, energy-greedy and difficult to set up. Conscious of these problems, the FORENSOR team has been working on a new generation of evidence-gathering, autonomous sensors.
