SciShops.eu was a Horizon 2020 project aimed at promoting the growth of community-based participatory research and Science Shops across Europe. The project explored how different types of research organisations, such as universities, research institutes, companies and non-profit organisations can develop sustainable Science Shops. Ten new Science Shops were established during the project alongside resources, tools…

Waste4Soil envisions the development of 10 technological and methodological solutions and a user-driven standardized Evaluation Framework for recycling food processing residues from the food industry into local,…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project Sustainable Careers for Researcher Empowerment (SECURE). The Sustainable Careers for Researcher Empowerment (SECURE) project will develop coordination and support measures to create, trial, implement, and mainstream a common Research Career Framework that offers a suite of options to support organisations in the recruitment,…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project Twinning Research and Innovation Institutions to Design and Implement Inclusive GEPs (Nexus). The overall goal of NEXUS is to bolster institutional change through the design and implementation of innovative inclusive actions leading to the advancement of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs). It supports the…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project Raising the bio-based industrial feedstock capacity of Marginal Lands (MarginUp!). At the present, 60-70% of all soils in Europe are in unhealthy conditions, mainly because of poor land management practices, pollution of soils, intensive agriculture, and the constant effects of climate change. This…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project ERA Talent Platform for career development of researchers in Europe (ERA Talent). The ERA TALENT project aims at further developing the services provided by the EURAXESS network, through the reforming of its structure, with the aim to support the career development of researchers…
TRANSMIT – Semi-transparent micro-stripped thin-film photovoltaics for energy-harvesting windows The 7-member consortium, coordinated by the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, aims to develop a translucent solar cell that converts part of the incident light into electrical energy by means of microwaves that are invisible to the human eye. This will make it possible to use external…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project Zero-Emission electric Vehicles enabled by haRmonised circulArity (ZEvRA). ZEvRA’s main objective is to improve the circularity of light-duty EVs throughout their entire value chain, from materials supply and manufacturing to end-of-life (EoL) processes, which aligns with the European Union’s goal of achieving zero CO2e…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project STRUctural MATerials research for safe Long Term Operation of LWR NPPs (STRUMAT-LTO). During the long-term operation of pressurised water reactors, the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) becomes brittle mainly due to neutron irradiation. Scientists disagree about what causes certain low-copper RPV steels to become…
Bay Zoltán Nonprofit Ltd. for Applied Research participates in the project Fracture mechanics testing of irradiated RPV steels by means of sub-sized specimens (FRACTESUS). By 2050, the EU aims to have more than 80 % of its energy coming from renewable sources, with electricity providing for half of the final energy demand. To achieve…
