Research and innovation (R&I) have a significant role in the development of transport systems. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of 20 technologies from European R&I projects, researched at a low development phase, that have received high levels of funding and for which the number...

This paper offers an overview of policy and economic reasons behind the launch of the new Smart Specialisation Platform for Industrial Modernisation. It is argued that modernisation of the European Industry depends upon multiple innovations across many industrial areas linked to emerging value...

Theoretical and experimental investigations have confirmed that ferritic stainless steel, due to its unique properties in terms of thermal expansion, is the best commercial metal to be bonded with glass, to form high-performance unitized cells. The testing activity on reduced-scale specimens has...

The Transport Research and Innovation Monitoring and Information System (TRIMIS) is an open-access transport information system. The TRIMIS database contains transport research and innovation projects and programmes that are arranged according to the seven Strategic Transport Research and...

With the announcement of the European Green Deal an intensified effort will be directed towards achieving a set of challenging targets to enable Europe to become the first climateneutral continent by 2050. Measures to facilitate this transition will need to be taken in many economic sectors,...

Geothermal energy has significant untapped potential for both electrical and direct-use applications in the EU. Currently, 'traditional' hydrothermal applications are most common for electricity production, but if EGS technology is proven the technical potential increases significantly. The...

Since its inception in 2019, the European Green Deal has set out the route for a sustainable, secure and competitive energy system for the EU, achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Four years later, the legislative framework continues to develop. Earlier this year, the European Commission...

This report is an output of the Clean Energy Technology Observatory (CETO), and provides an evidence-based analysis of the overall battery landscape to support the EU policy making process. It is part of the series of reports on clean energy technologies needed for the delivery of the European...

This book is the result of a series of discussions initiated by an FP6 project carried out during the year 2007 and which focused on issues of Science and Technology (S & T) governance and ethics in Europe and Asia. The discussions not only in increased mutual understanding between the two...
