ICT
2009-06-11 - Swedish study highlights rapid rise in silver surfer numbersThe number of older people using the Internet is rising rapidly, according to new Swedish research. In 2007, an average of just 29% of Swedes in the 65-79 age group used the Internet on an average day; by 2008, this figure had shot up to 39%, making Swedish pensioners among the most internet savvy in Europe.
Más información2009-06-22 - Europeans making mobile services easierThe Simple Mobile Services (SMS) project, funded under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) strand of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme to the tune of EUR 2.88 million, targeted the creation of modern tools that would make the lives of mobile users trouble-free. The outcomes are refreshing for the research sector and industry.

Health
2009-06-02 - Just how effective are healthy eating policies?Many campaigns by EU governments to encourage people to eat more healthily have been carried out in the past decades with varying degrees of success or failure. Now, a new EUR 2.5 million EU-funded project led by the UK's University of Reading is cataloguing these campaigns to see which were successful and which were not and for what reasons.
Más información2009-06-02 - Scientists link potassium flow with schizophreniaAn international team of scientists has identified a variant of a potassium channel that affects patients with schizophrenia. The results, published in the journal Nature Medicine, show how the expression of a formerly unknown form of a potassium channel is 2.5 times greater than normal in the brain memory hub of people suffering from this psychotic disorder, and is connected to a hotspot of genetic variation. Their findings could offer a new therapeutic target to combat schizophrenia.
Más información2009-06-03 - CAREPNEUMO aims to control antibiotic resistant diseasesStreptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) triggers health problems for people worldwide. Key contributing factors are antibiotic resistance among pneumococcal strains that keep intensifying and existing vaccines, though effective, can lead to serotype replacement (i.e. when we eliminate bacteria with a vaccine, we 'force' the emergence of other bacteria). For a team of EU-funded researchers, novel intervention strategies are needed to fight antibiotic resistant S. pneumoniae. With almost EUR 3 million in funding, the CAREPNEUMO project is determined to deliver results.
Más información2009-06-05 - EU-funded research sheds light on 'shock-and-kill' strategy against HIV-1Researchers in Italy have gained new insights into the so-called 'shock-and-kill' strategy, whereby latent HIV genes can be 'smoked out' of human cells. The results represent a significant step forward for researchers examining ways to eradicate HIV-1.
Más información2009-06-06 - International researchers tackle stillbirth tabooEvery year there are more than 3 million stillbirths. Yet despite advances and, at times, information overload in the medical world, stillbirths remain underreported and are either not found in data records or not recognised in national policymaking, which suggests that stillbirths are a taboo subject. In a supplement of the journal BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, researchers from around the globe examined the problem in an attempt to improve knowledge and help put a stop to the problem.
Más información2009-06-10 - Discovery of mycobacteria spore formation sheds light on tuberculosisScientists in Sweden have discovered that a type of mycobacteria, the genus responsible for causing tuberculosis, leprosy and Buruli ulcer, owes its success in part to its ability to form spores during its latent state. The findings, reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, have major implications for the prevention of these serious diseases.
Más información2009-06-10 - Muscle activity plays key role in joint formationQuestions over why joints fail to develop in embryos with paralysed limbs have been burning in the minds of many for a long time. An international team of researchers pieced together this puzzle and discovered the molecular mechanism responsible. The results are published in the journal Developmental Cell.
Más información2009-06-15 - Protein complexes production made easyProteins are the building blocks of life. They also play the starring role in many cellular processes. However, those complicated processes for the most part are directed by a number of proteins interacting within protein complexes. A new method for multiprotein complex production, developed by scientists funded in part by the EU, might now help facilitate the study of these important but elusive complexes. The new method could open up avenues for the discovery of drug targets, making it the focus of interest for the pharmaceutical industry.
Más información2009-06-16 - Scientists find on-off switch for blood-vessel growthEuropean researchers have identified an 'on-off' switch for blood vessel growth. The findings, published in the journal Cell, could aid in the development of treatments for diseases and conditions characterised by either too much or too little blood vessel growth.
Más información2009-06-16 - EU-funded study shows that cannabis can damage DNAResearchers in the UK have found evidence that smoking cannabis can damage human DNA in ways that could potentially increase the risk of developing cancer. The findings, published in the journal Chemical Research in Toxicology, are an outcome of the ECNIS ('Environmental cancer risk, nutrition and individual susceptibility') Network of Excellence, which was funded with EUR 11 million under the 'Food Quality and Safety' Thematic area of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) to study how diet and hereditary factors can influence environmental cancer risk.
Más información2009-06-18 - New zebrafish model offers new insights into skin cancerScientists in the UK and Switzerland have identified a signalling pathway, PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) that shows promise as a target for treating aggressive skin cancer. Their results, based on a study of the see-through zebrafish, are published in the journal Disease Models and Mechanisms.
Más información2009-06-19 - Researchers assess assisted reproductive technology impact on twinsNew research shows that twins born with the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) have a higher chance of being admitted to neonatal intensive care and being hospitalised during their first three years of life compared with twins conceived spontaneously. The findings are published in the journal Human Reproduction.
Más información2009-06-23 - Study proves that brain views tools as body partsEuropean researchers have demonstrated that when we use a tool, our brains temporarily think of them as body parts. The findings help to explain why humans are so adept at using tools.
Más información2009-06-24 - EU-funded researchers find biomarkers can show early presence of Alzheimer'sThe signs of Alzheimer's disease can be detected at a very early stage, even in patients suffering from only minimal memory loss, according to a new report published in the Lancet Neurology journal.
Más información2009-06-24 - EU study confirms people prefer right ear for listeningResearchers are aware that people prefer to listen with their right ear rather than their left. But their conclusions have always been based on controlled studies in laboratories, not in natural settings. Enter an Italian team of EU-funded researchers who conducted three studies on human ear preference observed during social interactions in noisy surroundings. Their findings are published in Springer's journal Naturwissenschaften.
Más información2009-06-25 - Happiness hormone crucial for mouse survival, EU-funded research findsEU-funded researchers in Germany have found that mice without serotonin (commonly known as the 'happiness hormone') in their brains have impaired growth, disturbed sleep, reduced breathing and heart rate, as well as a tendency to fight with other mice and eat their young. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides new insights into the importance of the serotonin system.
Más información2009-06-25 - Better diagnosis and treatment lower aneurysm riskAdvances made in diagnosis and treatment over the past 30 years have reduced the risk of patients dying from aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (the bursting of a blood vessel on the surface of the brain), shows new research from the Netherlands published in the journal Lancet Neurology.
Más información2009-06-29 - Experts call for antibiotic prescribing practices to be standardised across EuropeEU-funded researchers have identified wide variations in the way antibiotics are prescribed across Europe. In some countries, just 20% of patients who go to their doctor with a cough are give antibiotics, while in other countries this figure is close to 90%. Furthermore, results from the study showed that taking antibiotics appeared to have little effect on patients' recovery times.

Agriculture
2009-06-04 - EU project treats agro waste for biogasThe large amount of agricultural waste generated in the EU each year is a headache for farmers, who are obliged to get rid of it. The treatments they use tend to be cheap but inadequate. An alternative treatment is the use of biogas via anaerobic digestion (using microorganisms to break down the material in the absence of oxygen). The biogas treatment effectively fuels energy and nutrient recovery, with the added bonus of preventing pollution.
Más información2009-06-09 - OECD sets out opportunities and challenges for future bioeconomyBy 2030, biotechnology could contribute up to 2.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) in industrialised countries and even more in developing countries, according to a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). For comparison, biotechnology currently contributes less than 1% to GDP in OECD countries.
Más información2009-06-12 - How protein receptors affect plant immunityThe innate immune system is a person's, animal's or plant's first line of defence against invading organisms. Dutch researchers have discovered a protein component that regulates this system. The study also highlights changes in this regulating mechanism that can trigger disruptions in human and plant immune systems. The findings, published in the journal Science, will help raise awareness of human autoimmune disorders and also fuel the development of safer, more disease-resistant foods.
Más información2009-06-18 - Food security: could flowering plants be the key?The BLOOM-NET project has received just over EUR 1.3 million in funding support for research into flowering plants. The ability to determine when a plant flowers can be of enormous benefit to the planet's food production, since much of what we consume (from the feed given to livestock to products bought off the supermarket shelf) originates in some form from flowering plants.
Más información2009-06-25 - Study shows the Mediterranean diet does the body goodNew research shows that a number of food groups in the Mediterranean diet play a much more significant role than others in improving people's well-being and helping them live longer. According to the study, the recipe for success is to eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and olive oil. The prospective cohort study, published in the British Medical Journal, was funded in part by the EU's 'Europe against Cancer' programme.

The European Commission presents its proposal for an EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region today. Five years on from enlargement, the region is facing pressing challenges including the deteriorating state of the Baltic Sea, poor transport links, barriers to trade and energy supply concerns. These problems have been exacerbated by a lack of effective coordination. The Strategy, presented by Danuta Hübner, Commissioner for Regional Policy, above all aims to maximise the development potential of the Member States and regions in the Baltic Sea area, which is home to nearly 100 million people.

2009-06-12 - Commission consults on regulatory strategy to promote very high speed Internet
The European Commission has launched a public consultation on its revised proposals for the regulation of Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband networks, in the form of a draft Commission Recommendation. A previous public consultation held during the last quarter of 2008 confirmed general support for the objective of the Commission to achieve a common regulatory framework for NGA in order to foster timely investment in very high speed networks while ensuring that the competitive structure of the market is maintained. In the light of comments from stakeholders, the revised draft Recommendation includes mechanisms to allocate the investment risk between investors and operators seeking access to NGA networks. The draft Recommendation forms part of the European Broadband Strategy that the March European Council invited the Commission to develop by the end of 2009. The public consultation will be open until 24 July 2009. The Commission plans to adopt the Recommendation, taking account of comments received, before the end of 2009.
Más información2009-06-18 - European Commission calls for an open, independent and accountable governance of the internet
The European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, today called, in a strategic document, for more transparency and multilateral accountability in the governance of the internet. There are today 1.5 billion internet users worldwide, 300 million of which are in the European Union's 27 Member States. At present, a private US-based body, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ( ICANN ), is responsible for coordinating key elements of the internet. The Commission agrees that private companies should continue to take the lead in the day-to-day management of the operation of the internet, as long as they are accountable and independent. The Commission also believes that decisions about the internet, especially those about openness and security, should be taken in a transparent and accountable manner because they affect everyone around the globe. ICANN currently operates under a Joint Project Agreement with the US Department of Commerce which expires on 30 September 2009. In the view of the European Commission, future internet governance arrangements should reflect the key role that the global network has come to play for all countries.

The internet is evolving rapidly: while 25 years ago it was connecting only about a thousand users, today it links around 1.5 billion people across the world. An average European has now at least one object that is connected to the internet, be it a computer or mobile phone. But the number of connected devices that are hardly visible, more complex and more mobile around us will multiply a hundred or even a thousand times over the next 5 to 15 years. The European Commission today announced actions to make sure that Europe can play a leading role in shaping these new networks of interconnected objects from books to cars, from electrical appliances to food – in short the emerging 'internet of things'. The EU's Action Plan presented today will help Europeans benefit from this evolution and at the same time address the challenges it raises such as privacy, security and the protection of personal data.

The European Commission has today presented draft legislation to achieve a higher level of protection of health and environment. This proposal aims at significantly increasing the safety of biocide products used and placed on the market in the European Union. It proposes to phase out the most hazardous substances, particularly those that may cause cancer, and to introduce new rules for articles such as furniture and textiles treated with biocides, which are not covered by existing legislation. It introduces simplified legislation, whilst providing new incentives for companies to develop safer products against harmful pests and germs. . The Helsinki-based European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will be involved in the authorisation of some of these products through a centralised approach. The proposal should enter into force in 2013.

With a new international climate agreement due to be finalised at the Copenhagen conference in December, climate change is the natural focus for the European Commission's Green Week 2009 conference taking place from 23 to 26 June at the Charlemagne Building in Brussels. Under the slogan 'act and adapt', Green Week, the biggest annual conference devoted to European environment policy, will examine the multi-faceted challenges of reducing EU and global greenhouse gas emissions and of adapting to the climate change that is already under way. Eight of the sessions will also try to come up with a realistic vision of how a low-carbon world in 2050 would look. Over 4,000 participants from Europe and beyond are expected at the three-day event. Commission President José Manuel Barroso will give the keynote speech at the closing session on 26 June, which will look ahead at prospects for the Copenhagen agreement.

2009-06-24 - Fighting Cancer: A European partnership is born
Today, the European Commission reinforces its long-term commitment to the fight against cancer by creating a European Partnership for Action against Cancer. The partnership will focus on actions that can be taken at EU level to more effectively prevent and control cancer across Europe. In Europe, one in three people will develop cancer in their lifetime. This translates to 3.2 million people being diagnosed with the disease every year. Cancer is not equally distributed in Europe and the chances of surviving cancer differ greatly between countries. By bringing together all relevant organisations working on cancer, the intention is to identify gaps, address needs and learn from each other.

2009-06-22 - Commission welcomes adoption of feed regulation that will further strengthen food safety in the EU
Farmers and pet owners will soon get better information on the feed they buy, a step that will further strengthen food safety in the EU, after the Council of Agriculture Ministers adopted today a regulation replacing the current legislation on marketing and the use of feed. The new legislation, based on a Commission proposal from 2008, considerably simplifies the existing procedures and it will help promote innovation and competitiveness in the European feed sector. It is also expected to lead to a more integrated single market for feed by reducing the administrative burden for feed operators. The regulation was endorsed by the European Parliament on February 5 and is expected to enter into force later this year.
