The 7th Human Brain Project Summit opened in Athens on 3 February 2020 for a week of mind-blowing information on research into the most complex organ in the body. CORDIS was in attendance.

Theoretical computer scientist Christos Papadimitriou provides his thoughts at the 7th Human Brain Project Summit & Open Day on the role of language in understanding the brain. CORDIS was in attendance.

An EU initiative has designed and developed a computing platform based on a new memory technology. It will help improve the input/output (I/O) performance of high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

CORDIS took part in the third edition of the Results from road transport research in H2020 projects (H2020RTR) conference, organised by European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC) and the European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI). It provided the ideal setting to take stock of progress being made by the many road transport-focused projects funded under the H2020 programme and catch a glimpse of what lies ahead in this ever-evolving field.

CORDIS attended the 2019 Results from Road Transport Research in H2020 Projects conference in Brussels on 4 & 5 December. The event, organised by the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC) and the European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI), gave participants the chance to hear how many H2020-funded projects were progressing – straight from the mouths of the project coordinators themselves!

Researchers are running tests to verify whether a frozen puppy found in Siberia is a dog or a wolf.

A robotics tournament helped showcase how robots can operate in smart cities to provide services to residents.

The annual four-day European Week of Regions and Cities, running since 2003 and taking place in Brussels from 7 to 10 October has grown to become the key EU regional policy and development event. This year, CORDIS was proud to be amongst the 9 000 or so participants as an exhibitor, as well as by attending sessions.

How can people be motivated to improve their energy use? An EU-funded cross-cultural study looks into how people interact with building technologies to control their indoor environment.

An EU initiative is developing an indigenous chip technology for high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and automotive engineering.

An EU initiative offers museums new opportunities for audience involvement by exploiting the potential of digital media.

How do we make sense of endless reams of data in the age of Big Data? How do we use it creatively and innovatively? The EU DataViz 2019 conference explores the world of data visualisation and how it can benefit Europe’s public sector.

EU-funded researchers will demonstrate their award-winning thermal fingerprint sensor at a leading European conference.

An EU initiative has delivered a comprehensive reference platform for vision-based system designers. This will improve road safety, help create fully autonomous drones and increase surgical efficiency.

An EU initiative has installed a 5G radio network in an underground mine in Sweden. This technology will help improve safety and productivity, with fewer CO2 emissions.

Fancy a nap in your car instead of driving? Researchers are developing an innovative system that will be able to tell when you’re anxious, distracted or tired and take over for you.

An innovative mobile mapping solution makes designing, installing and maintaining rail overhead wires easier, faster and cheaper.

This month we’re highlighting the success of Spanish SME Submer that, with the help of Horizon 2020 SME Instrument funding, completed its R&D phase in March 2018 and after just a few months had already launched the fourth iteration of its Immersion Cooling solution, the SmartPodX. The SmartPodX was presented at the 2019 edition of the prestigious Open Compute Project Summit that recently took place in San José, California.

A clever sensor device can tell if you have stomach cancer, and it does this just by ‘smelling’ your breath.
