The wine industry is one of the agri-food sectors most highly influenced by climate variability and change at different timescales. In particular, the integration of reliable and timely sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) climate information in decision-making might help the wine sector to better manage climate-related risks. This explains the recent interest of the wine industry...

Stroke, a major cause of global death and long-term disability, arises from a combination of factors including cardiovascular conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AF), modifiable lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity, and a spectrum of genetic and molecular determinants. Within the AI-SPRINT EU project, we have created a technology designed for continuous...

The EU Member States initiative 1+ Million Genomes (1+MG) aims to enable secure access to genomic and corresponding clinicaldata across Europe, supporting research, health policy and personalised healthcare. This initiative follows a two-staged roadmap, viathe Beyond 1M Genomes and European Genomic Data Infrastructure projects, alongside 1+MG Working Groups and National...

Half of the protein directed towards animal feeding is wasted due to incomplete protein digestibility, and the distinct amino acid profiles found in both plants and animals. This generates serious pollution problems for our soils, aquifers, and atmosphere (e.g.livestock contribute to 87% of total ammonia emissions in agriculture). Moreover, the EU faces significant challenges...

SpoilControl will train the next generation of polyvalent researchers in the field of sustainable fermentation technologies, able to meet current and future challenges created by microbial spoilage and improve the quality & safety of fermented beverages. Europe is the historical leader of fermented drinks, whose competitiveness is intensively challenged. Microbial...

The goal of UrbanAIR is to develop a new digital twin that supports decision-makers in urban areas to deal with urban designdilemmas in atmospheric heat and air quality to maximise the health and socio-economic well-being of its citizens affected by climatechange. It will provide critical tools for climate adaptation and hazard control through urban design and planning,...

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is one of the most common cancers. Fifty-percent of all adult patients relapse, and of those who do, 90% of them perish. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify the patients that will relapse and to develop better treatments for them. In this project, we will use the most recent methodological breakthroughs to study both cancer cells and...

Atmospheric dust gives us one of the most visible and detectable aspects of transboundary transport of atmospheric constituents, impacting visibility, radiation and climate. What is less evident are its impacts on health, transportation and energy production.

Atmospheric dust is not fully understood at the fundamental level and models fail to fully...
