The Partnership aims to lead and accelerate the transformation of waterborne transport (i.e. maritime transport and inland navigation) to eliminate all harmful environmental emissions (including greenhouse gas, air and water pollutants) through innovative technologies and operations. Its objective is to develop and demonstrate by 2030 deployable zero-emission solutions applicable for all main ship types and services, paving the way for zero-emission waterborne transport by 2050.
The plan for additional activities in 2023 entails an amount of EUR 485 million of investments in:
- additional Research, Development and Innovation,
- scaling up of technologies,
- demonstrators of these innovative technologies,
- the creation of new business opportunities, …

The pioneering treatment aims to fight diseases that frequently destroy colonies, which are vital for crop pollination.
The vaccine is particularly aimed at American foulbrood, a bacterial disease that is a major threat to bee populations.
At the moment, there is no cure for the infectious disease.
Are honeybees endangered?
The groundbreaking vaccine aims to limit the damage to bee colonies caused by foulbrood.
The disease, for which there is…

A project awarded by the MCST (Malta Council of Science and Technology) through the Space Research fund call 2022 and sponsored by the ESA (European Space Agency) will allow researchers to develop methodologies to map the seafloor of the Maltese archipelago.
The 2 year project called BathMalta will entail the use of satellite systems, in particular SENTINEL2 and SENTINEL3 from the European space program Copernicus, to retrieve detailed images of the seafloor in the nearshore and coastal areas of Malta, with an average maximum depth of 25 to 30 m.
Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) has been supporting hydrographic surveys for the last 30 years, but it is only in the last decade that there has been the most rigorous scientific development. Satellite derived bathymetry is cost effective because it…

Unleashing the potential of millets for the well-being of people and the environment.
Millets can grow on arid lands with minimal inputs and are resilient to changes in climate. They are therefore an ideal solution towards self-sufficiency and to reduce reliance on imported cereal grains. The United Nations dedicates 2023 to greater efforts in producing millets given their nutritional properties and resilience in adapting to climate change. The International Year of Millets (#IYM2023) will also promote the sustainable production of millets, while highlighting their potential to provide new sustainable market opportunities for producers and consumers.

The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a new transnational initiative (part of the European Partnerships under Horizon Europe) on joint Research, Technological Development, and Innovation (RTDI) programming to boost and accelerate the energy transition, building upon regional and national RTDI funding programmes.
The transition envisioned by the CETPartnership will be a joint effort from industry, public organisations, research, and citizen organisations to make Europe the front-runner in clean energy innovation and implementation.
The CETPartnership will foster transnational innovation ecosystems from the very local and regional level, up to the transnational European level, thus overcoming a fragmented European landscape. Moreover, it intends to reach out to…

Europe is looking to increase its use of renewable energy sources as a way of reducing emissions and to tackle global warming. However, integrating the likes of solar and wind power into electricity grids remains a challenge due to fluctuations in supply and limited storage capacity. This is an issue for power system operators who need to maintain security of electricity supplies to homes and industry.
Smart grids could provide an answer. They embrace a range of technologies, applications and infrastructures that can help manage power distribution systems more effectively and intelligently. While much of the research in this area has focused on specific aspects of smart grids, the EU-funded ERIGRID project took a more holistic approach, drawing together the work of researchers from across Europe.
‘Our project supports the technological development and roll-out of smart grid approaches, solutions and concepts in Europe by addressing system validation for smart…
