This video presents the EU funded project ULISES. This project aims at developing a new nanotechnology-based treatment strategy where cancer cells that are invisible to the patient’s immune system are reprogrammed to become “visible”. This approach does not seek to alter the genetics of the cancer cells; rather it helps the immune system to recognise and attack these cells once they have been “flagged” as incompatible. ULISES is run by a consortium of 10 partners from 5 European countries led by the Spanish Institute for Biomedical Research August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) and includes important research centers, universities, SMEs, as well as Víctor Pallaruelo Santamaría (VPS), author of the Ulises project theoretical bases, and founder of the current consortium.

Who are the TExTOUR people? Let’s start this new year with a “behind the scene tour” to discover who is working at the project, what’s their role and vision on cultural tourism and TExTOUR future strategies and actions.

From solar power and house sensors to adaptive lighting and district heating, MAtchUP cities are changing how energy is produced, used, and transported.

The mobility revolution is already here: it is changing the way you get around and the liveability of your city. Have you noticed?

Testing and developing new innovations to transform the energy and transport landscape of cities is undoubtedly complex, highlighted by the challenging experiences of the MAtchUP Lighthouse smart cities.

Internationally renowned for the stunning architecture of its City of Arts and Sciences, by local architect Santiago Calatrava, the Valencia (Spain) has been this year selected among the 100 European cities that will take up the challenge to become climate neutral by 2030. In the city, the famous Cabanyal district which had been home to a local fishing community for a long time, has recently been transformed into a testing ground for numerous energy efficiency techniques. These have been put into practice as part of MAtchUP, an EU-funded project that aims to create and scale up smart city solutions. With the video news release (VNR) recorded in Valencia, the project wants to show some of its key measures towards climate neutrality. The device is being developed by the European research project MatchUP. Discover more on: https://www.matchup-project.eu/news/valencia-2030-heading-for-climate-neutrality/

The speed of antigen tests and the sensitivity of PCR-tests can be combined to fight COVID-19 and to rapidly detect other viruses. The device is being developed by the European research project CORONADX. Discover more on: https://coronadx-project.eu/news/

What does it take to move a new COVID test from the laboratory to patients and society? Jan Buch Andersen, CEO of CORONADX AB, a partner of the European research project CORONADX, explains the rules and efforts for bringing innovative diagnostics to the market in the EU.

Liesbeth Dries, Associate Professor at Wageningen University, explains the work they're carrying on with farmer collectives running agri-environmental schemes in the Netherlands. The aim is to improve the participation and motivation of farmers by providing payments in an experimental setting for the results they get out of the scheme.

Laura Bouriaud, Director of the Council for Doctoral University Studies (University of Suceava), talks about the management of hay meadows in Transilvania and focuses on results-based payment scheme.

Philipp Mennig, Researcher at the Techincal University of Munich, presents the biodiversity protection work his team is doing in Bavaria. Grasslands are threatened by intensification in agriculture and land use change. The team is working on new agro-environmental schemes that can benefit both the farmers and nature.

Our tour behind the scenes of TExTOUR continues with a new person. Simone Bertacchini from the project’s advisory board.

The HOUSEFUL Webinars Series presents the circular solutions that are currently under development and will be demonstrated at building scale in each of the four project's demo buildings. This 1st webinar focuses on material solutions.

Data is the essence of digital innovation. Its public availability is beneficial for residents, public and private sectors and academia. But it’s crucial also for government and administration, which have a key role to play in the development of open data.

Marinos Ioannides from Cyprus University of Technology explains the unique heritage of the village of Fikardou and the importance of developing a cultural tourism strategy for the area. Learn more on https://textour-project.eu/

Turkey's tourist capital on the Mediterranean coast, Antalya, has the distinction of being surrounded by both mountains and a famous crystal-clear sea. The city has a climate that is good for agriculture: one fifth of Turkey's fruit and vegetable exports and more than 30% of its greenhouse areas come from just this one region. As part of the EU project MAtchUP, a 5-megawatt solar power plant was constructed on a 100,000m2 site near Dağbeli, which is only a short drive from the city, to help meet the energy need.
