European Partnership for research in radiation protection and detection of ionizing radiation

Thu, 08/05/2021 - 03:50

The European Commission Partnership will ensure the availability of and facilitate access to state-of-the-art research infrastructures required to implement the research roadmap. This will be done coherently with action 12 (European Facility in Nuclear Research). The Commission invites proposals for the establishment of the European Partnership for research in radiation protection and detection of ionizing radiation.

Cross-sectorial synergies and new applications of nuclear technologies

Thu, 08/05/2021 - 03:48

Nuclear and radiation technologies are present in a wide variety of applications in industry, research, health, food, and agriculture, environment, security, space, and cultural heritage. Ionizing radiation (IR) is used in many domains like sterilization, manufacturing, non-destructive testing and detection, and environmental applications. Objectives of Horizon Europe should be reflected in this action.

Greenhouse gas aviation emissions reduction technologies towards climate neutrality by 2050

Thu, 08/05/2021 - 03:39

The European Green Deal refers to the need to achieve clean, climate-neutral shipping and waterborne operations and to the importance of research and innovation in this respect. Waterborne transport, in particular where large sea-going vessels are used, remains an important emitter of GHG and the sector needs to step up its efforts on a significant scale and through a wide range of measures.

System approach to achieve optimised Smart EV Charging and V2G flexibility in mass-deployment conditions (2ZERO)

Tue, 07/13/2021 - 05:44

Digitally controlled charging solutions represent a fundamental building block of a full and effective shift to electromobility. When scaled to a mass-market-level, current uncontrolled charging (i.e. maximum available power from the moment the vehicle is plugged in) could contribute to creating an extra burden on the power system.
