Special Feature: Vast, complicated, (dis)orderly? Unlocking the secrets of the cosmos

Summary:

In this month's Life After feature, Dr Matilde Massó, coordinator of the FUSION project, tells us about her work since the project’s end in 2018. The piece calls into question the move from a productivity-based capitalism to a system driven by financial markets. It exposes the shortcomings of this model and considers alternatives. The Project of the Month is not about Cartesian doubt per se. But by opening the doors to a joint EU/US development of the Next Generation Internet, it could very well become a case in point for how innovation doesn’t necessarily arise from fierce competition.

As usual, the magazine closes with an EU Agenda summarising some of the best events featuring EU-funded projects that will take place in October.
