Special Feature: Defining Europe's role in a complex international order

Summary:

In this month's special feature, we highlight eight EU-funded projects that have been working hard to, in one way or another, address the following question: What positive and influential role can the EU have in today’s world order (and especially in such turbulent times) with the tools currently at its disposal?

Meanwhile, away from the cut-throat world of international politics, in Life After we reconnect with the Greenrail project that has pioneered new and smart railway sleepers that promise not only to increase the comfort levels of your rail journey but also to help engineers modernise and future-proof Europe’s vast railway infrastructure to upgrade it for the challenges of the 21st century.

Project of the Month also returns after a brief hiatus, where we highlight innovative Spanish SME Submer and its SmartPodX, an Immersion Cooling solution for Hyperscalers, HPC and Data Centres that has been hailed as a ‘game-changer’ for the industry. And last but certainly not least, EU Agenda rounds up the latest EU-funded project events and conferences, and as always we welcome you to dip in and out of our regular nine thematic sections.
