New proposals for European Projects on technological innovation that contribute to the fullfilment of the SDGs

The first project will develop a sustainable innovative technology to remove microplastics from wastewater and assess their potential as a source of renewable energy. The priority of this project is to provide a solution that will make it possible to reduce the pollution footprint of our marine ecosystems with the increasing presence of microplastics and the high impact it is having on people, animals and the environment.

In order to improve the efficiency of EU port services, the second project will provide advanced ICT tools in a smart ecosystem for next generation European freight and passenger transport systems in Europe. The primary purpose of this challenge is to elaborate an advanced automated mobility system for clean and efficient transport, optimising port management towards reducing energy consumption and boosting renewable energies.

The Foundation’s main mission is to contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations and it is firmly committed to providing innovative solutions that help to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as on this occasion, through the promotion of these two research and technological innovation projects, aimed at boosting efficient and sustainable progress at European level.’
