Evidence-based decision-making to change social norms towards zero food waste
In line with the European Green Deal priorities, the farm to fork strategy for a fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food system, and the EU's climate ambition for 2030 and 2050, the successful proposal will support R&I to prevent and reduce food loss and waste, contributing to the transformation of food systems to deliver co-benefits for climate (mitigation and adaptation), biodiversity, environmental sustainability and circularity
Methane cracking to usable hydrogen and carbon
Proposals related to this call are expected to demonstrate significant advances with respect to already achieved results in Europe and outside, delivering a minimum of 50% and demonstrating the potential to achieve mass production and a competitive hydrogen cost and an improved climate performance with respect to current methane based, CO
Full-scale demonstration of heat upgrades technologies with supply temperature in the range 90 - 160°C
The objective of this call aims at satisfying the need for low-temperature heat in the relevant industrial sectors, by upgrading lower temperature heat flows, including from renewable heat sources, ambient heat, or industrial excess (waste) heat, as a cost-efficient way to improve energy efficiency and reduce the GHG emissions. The proposal should,
Safety of advanced and innovative nuclear designs and fuels: EUR 3 000 000 Grant
roposed research should support the safety assessment and development of advanced and innovative reactor safety designs and technologies for deployment in the medium and long term, including Research Reactors and the Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Novel tandem, high efficiency Photovoltaic technologies targeting low cost production with earth abundant materials
Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of the zero-emissions target. To that end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements.
Senior Research Fellowship Programme: Theoretical & Experimental Physics
At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light.
Incentive Grants for Women in STEM 2021
The aim of this grant is to retain women qualified in science or the engineering sciences and to provide them with a stable launchpad for an academic career. To this end, this grant supports women who are temporarily prevented from getting a contract, but who nevertheless, have a guaranteed prospect of a permanent (UD, UHD, professor) or Tenure Track* research position in science or engineering sciences.
NASA Postdoctoral Program: Utility of Satellite Retrievals in Weather Forecasting Tools
The CERES Cloud Working Group and LaRC Satellite ClOud and Radiative Property retrieval System(SatCORPS) team at NASA Langley work synergistically to produce global datasets of cloud properties and radiation parameters derived from passive visible and infrared sensors on sun-synchronous (e.g. Aqua, Terra, Suomi-NPP, and NOAA-series) and geostationary (e.g. GOES, Meteosat and Himawari) satellites.
