The newly launched ENRICH in Africa (EiA) Centre kickstarts a wide range of services for African and European incubators and accelerators.

The great African desert has an almost limitless amount of sand – and sunshine. Is a solar megaproject technically feasible? Our expert Khamid Mahkamov sheds some light on the matter.

An EU-funded project reserves berths at two open-water test sites to demonstrate selected prototype wave energy converter (WEC) systems in 2025.

An EU-backed project prepares to test a new hybrid microgrid solution in Spain.

An EU-backed project is using deep learning techniques combined with cloud, edge and far-edge computing to improve the way objects are tracked in factories and warehouses.

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.

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.

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.

Romanian university inspires others to replace fossil fuels by integrating renewable energy sources in an energy efficient, affordable and reliable way.

An EU-backed project is offering external researchers the chance to use top-quality European pig research installations. The second call for proposals is now open.

Researchers study new combinations of electrolyte solutions and electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Several years ago, the EU-funded Wave Scale project developed a technology that produces clean electricity from sea and ocean waves. The pioneering wave energy conversion technology has now made its way to the shores of the United States (US).

Approach operations at busy airports are set to become more energy efficient and less noisy thanks to an integrated system that will assist pilots in making better configuration management decisions.

What really goes on in a photopolymerisation process? Scientists combined two chemical reaction monitoring methods based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology to find out.

Seven cities throughout Europe are doing their part to tackle climate change by phasing out fossil fuels from heating and cooling in buildings.

Research into the legal and policy implications of autonomous vessels in international shipping has stumbled on an issue related not to law or security, but gender.

Although solar panels look blue, according to Sarah McCormack from the PEDAL project, they actually aren’t. More specifically, the reason they sometimes look blue is because of the material they’re made from.
