Introducing the 24th edition of the Project Repository journal (PRj)
It is with great pride and anticipation that we present the 24th volume of the Project Repository journal (PRj). This edition celebrates the remarkable innovation, collaboration and vision at the heart of Europe’s most ambitious research initiatives.
Over the years, the PRj has become a trusted platform for showcasing EU-funded projects, from ERC to LIFE and Horizon Europe, and this bumper volume stands as a testament to the scientific excellence and societal impact these programmes continue to deliver.
If you have a project or research story you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!

Choose Europe for Science: ERC welcomes new budget for ‘super grants’
The Scientific Council of the European Research Council welcomes the offer of substantial additional budget from the European Commission for the development of a new ERC funding instrument offering larger, longer term grants.
CoolLIFE: breaking the vicious circle of air conditioning
As Europe swelters under ever higher summer temperatures, conventional air conditioning may provide some relief but ultimately makes the problem worse. CoolLIFE aims to dial down the heat without trashing the climate.
Commission launches ambitious strategy to make Europe a startup and scaleup powerhouse
On 28 May, the European Commission launched the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy, ‘Choose Europe to Start and Scale’, to make Europe a great place to start and grow global technology-driven companies.
Capturing and purifying CO₂ while producing energy
A new energy storage technology shows potential to address two pressing challenges at once: reducing industrial carbon emissions and improving the efficiency of renewable energy systems. It enables supercapacitors to capture and purify carbon dioxide while simultaneously converting it into usable energy.
How do you find water on the Moon?
Water on the Moon could be used as drinking water or rocket fuel, but how and where can we find it? Luca Kiewiet takes us to the lunar surface in search of frozen assets.
#LIFEis33: celebrating a third of a century of green innovation
The LIFE programme is today marking 33 years of supporting projects to make Europe a more sustainable and healthier place for people and nature.
Nature, climate and circular economy projects emerge as winners at the 2025 LIFE Awards
The annual LIFE Awards honoured pioneering projects across Europe which restore habitats and wildlife, boost circularity and help us strengthen climate resilience.
Commission launches new strategy to make Europe a global leader in life sciences by 2030
The European Commission has launched a new strategy to make Europe the most attractive place in the world for life sciences by 2030.
