The EU supports scientists, researchers and innovators in pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
See how Anna and Anja are using fungi for sustainable construction, how Natalia is advancing cancer treatment by harnessing the body’s own defences, and how Estella’s discovery could lead to better therapies for diseases like Parkinson’s.
Discover how Diofantos observes the Earth to help communities respond to climate change, and check how Konstantin and Svilen are enabling same-day cargo delivery for everyone, everywhere. Find out how Yannael is transforming airports with sustainable innovations and how Dario is pioneering food security by turning sunlight into a superpower.
The EU stands for science. Do you?
Featured projects
Paints and protective coatings on buildings often contain chemicals that harm the environment.
In Slovenia, researchers are turning to nature for a solution – developing a self-healing, bioactive coating inspired by fungal biofilms.
An international team in Poland is developing targeted cancer therapies using the body’s own defences.
They isolate T cells, multiply them, and reintroduce them to help detect and destroy cancer cells.
EU-supported researchers in Denmark have uncovered how disordered proteins behave.
This breakthrough deepens scientific understanding and opens new possibilities for treating disorders like Parkinson’s.
Researchers in Cyprus, supported by the EU, use Earth observation and space technology to meet everyday needs, taking advantage of the island’s sunny climate for high-quality satellite images.
They collaborate with start-ups to turn this data into real-world solutions, from monitoring climate change to aiding emergency response and preserving cultural heritage.
Innovators in Bulgaria are transforming cargo aviation, creating smarter and more efficient delivery solutions. The Black Swan aircraft carries up to 350 kg over 2,500 km, the distance from Sofia to Dublin, connecting cities and remote areas while reducing costs and emissions.
By bridging distances, this innovation delivers reliable, cost-efficient, same-day delivery, showing how EU-supported initiatives are shaping the future of logistics and trade.
An initiative led by innovators in France is showing how airport operations can become more sustainable.
Supported by the EU, it brings together research institutes, airports, SMEs and large companies, testing solutions such as solar panels on boarding bridges, low-carbon materials for runways and sustainable aviation fuel to protect biodiversity.
Feeding a growing population while protecting the planet is one of today’s biggest challenges. To address this, scientists in Germany are exploring how photosynthesis – the process that powers all life – can be made more efficient.
The team studies how plants can make better use of sunlight in the lab, then applies these discoveries to improve crop yields, strengthen food security, and protect the planet.
