The European Commission has announced grants worth €33 million to be funded through the European Innovation Council (EIC), its new technology funding agency.
The grants are for 13 projects that will receive €1.5 - €3 million each to develop “disruptive” technologies. The projects include windows that function as solar panels, an artificial limb that provides sensory feedback to the wearer, making their gait more natural, and a new technology for recycling old rubber tyres to make new ones.
