A new Fraunhofer ISI study identifies the top 50 life and biological sciences and technologies driving innovation in the bio-based sectors in Europe. The study funded by the European Commission, DG Research and Innovation, is now available.

Germany will continue to rely on energy imports in the long term. Among other things, it will have to import a large share of green hydrogen and its synthesis products from global regions that are rich in wind and solar power. The HyPat project, which is led by Fraunhofer ISI, is developing a comprehensive, global hydrogen atlas, as called for in Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy.

Regional strategy development processes have started again in many European regions and RIS3 (Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation) are perceived as an interesting new research topic. There is a call for papers for the “Journal of entrepreneurship, management and innovation”, the submission deadline ist the 30 September 2021.

The EU wants to become climate-neutral by 2050. By 2030, greenhouse gas emissions should already be 55 percent lower than 1990 levels. Transport plays a crucial role in meeting these goals. Fraunhofer ISI makes suggeastions for the necessary transformation of European transport policy.
