New horizons in international goods transport Transparency, security and reliability of individual containers are factors that are incredibly difficult to verify in the world of international goods transport. Small aircraft, smart safety Welcome on board of an aircraft unlike any other. It's been designed to increase safety on small planes and the stakes are high. At one incident every 10,000 flight hours in Europe, small aircraft have a much worse safety record than big airliners. So to improve that record, European researchers have taken a challenging flight. Browse all transport project synopses. Home page - Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities - Research & Innovation. The EU funded NET4SOCIETY project has newly published an analysis listing the current funding opportunities relevant for the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities in various research areas within Horizon 2020. Besides the societal challenge "Europe in a changing world: Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies" where SSH themes are particularly addressed, a wealth of possibilities for social sciences and humanities is offered across Horizon 2020.
The document "Opportunities for Researchers from the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH)" aims at displaying the full range of research topics addressing substantial SSH aspects while guiding and assisting researchers in identifying such funding opportunities.

The European Union already has formal Science and Technology Cooperation Agreements with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. The region is rich in culture and biodiversity and is looking forward to cooperating with the EU in the fields of Science, Technology and Innovation in order to achieve sustainable development, promote social inclusion, and face global challenges. The main areas for cooperation with the EU in Latin America are: Biodiversity/Climate change, Bioeconomy, Energy, and Health. The new research and Innovation Programme, Horizon 2020, is seen as a great opportunity to strengthen cooperation and achieve these goals. The EU Delegation and the Member States have implemented various promotional activities including the "Tour of Brazil".

Member States and regions must lose no time in preparing the next generation of EU programmes for growth, says Commissioner Hahn after MEPs' vote on radical reform of EU Regional Policy in July 2013. The new programming period brings new investment budgets for Member States, seeking synergies between Regional Policy and Horizon 2020 in order to maximise the innovation opportunities. The data-driven economy can provide Europe with a chance to emerge from the multifaceted crisis with new capabilities. The ONE Conference is facilitating the joint effort of EU partners to build links between information networks and ICT Observatories for reaching ambitious common objectives of Europe 2020.

Co-operative research activities in the field of fisheries and aquaculture are mainly funded through Theme 2 ‘Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and Biotechnology (FAFB)’ in the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7).
The main objective of KBBE research activities in this sector is to provide the necessary knowledge and technological base to strengthen sustainable fisheries management as well as to promote the sustainable and competitive development of aquaculture.

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research programme to date. Some €79 billion of funding is available for 2014-2020. Home page - Research & Innovation. Principaux indicateurs de la science et de la technologie (PIST) : édition 2010/1. Adresse courte de cette page : www.oecd.org/sti/pist Dernière mise à jour : 26 juin 2012 La base de données PIST présente un jeu d'indicateurs reflétant le niveau et la structure des efforts menés par les pays de l'OCDE et par sept économies non-membres (Afrique du Sud, Argentine, Chine, Fédération de Russie, Roumanie, Singapour, Tapei chinois) dans les domaines de la science et de la technologie.
Il s'agit de résultats définitifs ou provisoires, et de prévisions établies par les gouvernements. Les indicateurs couvrent plus particulièrement les ressources consacrées aux activités de recherche-développement, les familles de brevets, la balance des paiements technologiques et le commerce international dans les industries intenses en R-D. Les indicateurs sur les dépenses, les budgets et le personnel consacrés à la R-D sont calculés à partir des données de la base de l’OCDE sur les Statistiques de la Recherche et Développement ( SRD ). Détails sur le champ couvert. Agriculture and Forestry - Research. In 2008 the total land cover of EU 27 was around 420 million hectares with approximately 43% dedicated to agricultural production and 40% to forestry.
Concerning non-food production only 5% was dedicated to industrial usage (mostly biofuel oilseed) while another 5% was potentially available as unutilised land. Economically the use of this arable and pasture land for the combined agricultural and food sector accounts for 17 million jobs (7,6% of total employment) and for 3,5% of total Gross Value Added in the EU-27. In addition world food demand is expected to increase by 70% by 2050 (FAO). A dramatic increase in global food demand will go together with a steep increase in the demand for feed, fibre, biomass, and biomaterial. This will and must trigger a supply reaction of EU agriculture, being one of the biggest suppliers to global agricultural markets.
Agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change and is in return dramatically affected by climatic instability.
