ATTRACT brings science development to open innovation in products and services in industry, education, research and policy. The project is currently seeking potential partners.

With just a week to go until this year's Imperial Festival, final preparations are underway to launch the UK's largest robotics network at the event.

The James Dyson Foundation has donated £8m to create a technology hub at the heart of Cambridge, providing the University of Cambridge’s brightest engineers with some of the world’s most advanced engineering laboratories.

Some of the UK's most promising entrepreneurs will have access to an innovative new business education programme launched at Imperial today.

Europe’s universities warn that new restrictions on the use of personal data will undermine important health and medical research

It’s more than 8 years late and cost more than twice the original budget. But the Wendelstein machine to be unveiled this month provides fresh momentum for fusion research and will complement the ITER project

The economic significance of patents ranges from impacts on growth and global trade, to patent portfolio management within firms. The EU could do more to extract value from its patent store, says Theon van Dijk, Chief Economist, European Patent Office

From traffic management to healthcare, there is huge potential in unlocking public information stores, Pól Mac Aonghusa, senior research manager at IBM tells Science|Business

Director of UCL Advances and Director of UCL Enterprise Operations, Timothy Barnes, has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion.

In the framework of the EU-project Solarjet, scientists demonstrate for the first time the entire production path to liquid hydrocarbon fuels from water, CO2 and solar energy. The key technological component is a solar reactor developed at ETH Zurich.

The structure of sodium channels – which play an essential role in the functioning of heart and nerve cells – are different than previously believed. Researchers hope their discovery will lead to improvements in drugs that act on the sodium channel to treat a range of cardiac and pain conditions.

KTH researchers are helping robots learn to cooperate, a difficult but potentially revolutionary challenge.

The Tech all stars competition offers the opportunity to pitch to successful entrepreneurs

Georgios Stavropoulos, a physicist in Greece’s Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics, is pitching for his frontier deep sea neutrino project to be included under the EU’s new experimental regional funding scheme

Germany’s ambitious Energiewende made it the world’s largest energy lab. But with CO2 emissions up and electricity prices rising, the programme’s value as a blueprint for others is limited, says Stephan Reimelt, president and CEO of GE Energy, Germany.

Science|Business begins a series of viewpoints on the ethical dimensions of Europe’s biggest R&D programme

A new nano-membrane made out of the “super material” graphene is extremely light and breathable. Not only can this open the door to a new generation of functional waterproof clothing, but also to ultra-rapid filtration. The membrane produced by the researchers at ETH Zurich is as thin as is technologically possible.

Thermal power plants amounts to nearly 70% of all generated electricity worldwide, but also accounts for about one third of the global carbon dioxide emissions. By finding improved high temperature materials, thermal power plants can run more effectively to a lower cost, both economically and environmentally.

Imperial Innovations' portfolio company, Oxford Immunotec Global PLC (NASDAQ: OXFD), has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s highest accolade in business success.
