EU Science, Research and Innovation

Have you been to the beach lately? 🏖 You may have seen #plastic bottles and other litter laying in the sand or floating in the water. In Europe, 80% of marine litter is plastic, produced on land, which ends up in the sea. This is a major problem for our coastal and marine areas because: 🐬 48,000 species depend on healthy coastal ecosystems in Europe. 🐡 So does half of the EU population living less than 50km from the sea. That is why we support innovative research to prevent, reduce and remove marine litter and plastic waste for cleaner beaches, seas and oceans! Find out how 🔗 europa.eu/!dWTxN4 #EUBeachCleanup

Makeover time! Marseille 🇫🇷 is getting a new greener look with a #TreePlan to fight urban heat and getting one step closer towards climate-neutrality. Thousands of trees are being planted to cool down the city, offering shade and fresh air and protecting the most vulnerable citizens from the dangers of heatwaves. This initiative will make the city more beautiful, liveable and green. Explore this and other projects of the Cities Mission here: europa.eu/!gvWVrx #MissionCities #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Balancing between innovation and protecting citizens’ rights is one of the biggest challenges for policymakers today.  But science can help to reach the right approach.    Joint Research Centre (JRC) has been working on this for a long time. Our scientists are studying algorithms and their impact on society in a wide range of topics – from cybersecurity to children’s mental health.    Can you guess in what year the JRC published its first paper on #AI?  🔷1976  🔷1995   🔷1999  🔷2003 Give us your answers in the comments below! 👇   (The visual below is #AIGenerated. Our scientists weren't building sentient androids decades ago. But AI isn't news to them!)    #DigitalDecade #EUScience #ArtificialIntelligence EU Digital & Tech

Embracing #solar energy is key to accelerating the green transition in Europe! Large-scale installation of rooftop photovoltaics (PVs), as well as innovative floating PV coupled with hydropower and bifacial PV along roads and railways can offer incredible opportunities with minimal environmental impact. In today’s post of #JRCinMaps, we dive deeper into the capacity potential of photovoltaic applications in the EU, country by country. According to our study, these applications could generate 1,208 terawatt-hours of electricity per year. That is around 48% of the EU's 2022 electricity consumption!

#EUFunded researchers are revolutionising science education by taking it beyond the classroom. Their aim is to engage students across Europe with real-world challenges in #sustainability and environmental science. Discover how these innovative approaches are inspiring the next generation of scientists. Read more ➡️ europa.eu/!KjBrxr #ResearchImpactEU #HorizonMagazine The University of Bonn

Is the summer sun finally here? Protect your skin with these tips! Skin cancer is among the most common forms of cancer - according to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in every three cancers diagnosed is a skin cancer. So, as we embrace the summer season, it's important to be mindful of sun exposure, a major risk factor for skin cancer. Educating yourself and others about sun safety can significantly reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Bologna 🇮🇹 has taken a big step in the direction of creating more renewable energy with the Caab Spa - Centro Agroalimentare di Bologna, starting one of the largest #PhotovoltaicSystem on buildings in Italy. Producing 6 million kWh, this project lights up local buildings, supports families and fuels electric vehicles. With sights set on expanding to 11,000 sqm for 10.4 million kWh, Bologna's energy future is looking bright and sustainable! #MissionCities #Sustainability #ClimateAction Explore this and other projects of the Cities Mission here: europa.eu/!gvWVrx
