New discovery made by an EU-supported project can help unlock the mysteries of violent phenomena in the Universe!
The announcement was made yesterday after the discovery was published in Nature Magazine.
KM3NET, a giant neutrino telescope sitting at the bottom of the sea, has detected the highest-energy neutrino ever observed. The neutrino travelled at the speed of light directly from the cosmos to the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Sicily, where the detector is located. Neutrinos are extraordinary messengers that carry with them valuable information about the most extreme conditions and violent phenomena happening in the remote places of the Universe, such as: accreting supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies, supernova explosions or gamma ray bursts,…

The European Commission has just launched a new tool that supports the tracking of the spread of infectious diseases by analysing wastewater: the European Wastewater Surveillance Dashboard. It displays data from across the EU by bringing together existing national and research-based dashboards.
By providing near real-time information on pathogen trends, the dashboard can support public health authorities in their efforts to track, predict, and respond promptly to disease outbreaks.
The dashboard was developed by the EU Wastewater Observatory for Public Health of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in collaboration with the …

The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to shape the European Oceans Pact, a political initiative that aims to promote sustainable ocean management and ensure the health, resilience, and productivity of the oceans and thus the prosperity of the EU’s coastal communities. The pact was announced by President von der Leyen in her political guidelines for the next European Commission (2024-2029).
The call for evidence will run until 17 February 2025, with the Commission expecting to receive a wide range of contributions from stakeholders, experts, and citizens. The feedback collected will be used to shape the European Oceans Pact, which the Commission aims to present in time for the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in June 2025.

The growth of microorganisms, algae and animals on the surface of structures in contact with water, known as biofouling, damages boats and marine infrastructures and requires control actions to preserve their integrity.
Most of the removal actions involve the use of biocides and antifouling coatings containing toxic components. These chemicals contaminate the water column and enter the trophic web. This means that toxic compounds used to prevent organisms from ruining marine structures and equipment have the potential to end up in the fish we eat. An example of these toxic compounds used in the past is tributyltin (TBT). This marine biocide commonly used for its anti-biofouling property is very toxic and scientists found that it accumulates in the organisms’ tissue, and it can disrupt the endocrine system. Due to its toxicity, the European Commission Parliament banned TBT in 2004. Following this regulation, new…

We all know that the Maltese Islands featured its own special miniaturized ‘megafauna’, with pygmy elephants and giant swans roaming a landscape we would struggle to recognise today. But when did these animals die out, and why? How many of them really lived alongside one another? Where did they come from, and what were the ecological consequences of their loss?
Through a prestigious National Geographic Grant, Prof. Eleanor Scerri, a Maltese scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology in Germany, and the University of Malta‘s Department of Classics and Archaeology, hopes to address these questions. The grant, one of only ten awarded globally, follows on from a 1.5-million-euro European Research Grant, to invest in an ongoing programme of research that is transforming what we know about the deep past…

2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the EU’s first funding programme dedicated to science, research and innovation. It all started in 1984 with the launch of the Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, worth €3.8 billion.
Over the years, European Commission have invested more and expanded their focus to tackle global challenges, harness technology, and meet the changing needs of our societies. Each EU research programme has delivered new knowledge and solutions to challenges in areas that matter to Europeans and global citizens alike.
To celebrate this milestone, they are sharing 40 stories to illustrate the breadth of R&I made possible through EU R&I funding and some of the results achieved over the last 40 years.
