On 24 January 2024, the European Commission tabled a proposal for a Council recommendation on enhancing research security. The procedure does not require the European Parliament's involvement. Research security refers to the safeguarding of scientific activities against misuse and undue influence by third countries or non-state actors. Risks to research include the illicit transfer of knowledge or technology resulting in a threat to the EU's security or undermining its values. Competence for identifying ...

The European automotive industry is striving to adapt to market changes driven by the dual green and digital transition. Electrification has become the main strategy for reducing CO2 emissions, especially in urban traffic. At the same time, the average size and weight of cars have greatly increased. Big electric cars are the trend, but are they really the solution? Could better planning and optimisation of resources help?

On 27 February 2023, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation to allow voluntary digital labelling of EU fertilising products. This initiative follows similar EU legislative initiatives establishing the digital labelling of goods in other economic sectors, such as batteries. The rationale for digital labelling is provided by the deployment of digital solutions, such as QR codes, that can lower the cost of labelling while facilitating the updating of content, and also by the increasing ...

Is-suq uniku diġitali huwa ta’ benefiċċju għall-ekonomija, inaqqas l-impatti ambjentali u jtejjeb il-kwalità tal-ħajja permezz tal-kummerċ elettroniku u l-governanza elettronika. Bis-servizzi li qed jinbidlu minn pjattaformi fissi għal dawk mobbli, din il-bidla teħtieġ qafas tal-UE għall-cloud computing, aċċess transfruntier għall-kontenut u data mobbli bla xkiel, filwaqt li jiġu żgurati l-privatezza u ċ-ċibersigurtà. Is-suq uniku diġitali Ewropew kien vitali matul il-kriżi tal-COVID-19. L-Att dwar ...

It-teknoloġiji tal-informazzjoni u tal-komunikazzjoni (ICTs), kif ukoll is-servizzi tad-data, saru aktar importanti mis-servizzi tradizzjonali tat-telefonija, kemm għall-konsumaturi kif ukoll għan-negozji. Biż-żieda fil-kontenut fuq talba u t-tkabbir tal-4G/5G, l-UE introduċiet qafas regolatorju tat-telekomunikazzjoni. Dan jinkludi t-tipi kollha ta’ telekomunikazzjonijiet, inkluż ix-xandir. Ir-riċerka tindika li dawn is-servizzi jikkontribwixxu EUR 86.1 biljun fis-sena għall-PDG tal-UE, u l-miżuri ...

Il-pjattaformi tas-servizzi diġitali u t-teknoloġiji emerġenti bħall-intelliġenza artifiċjali (IA) jinfluwenzaw bil-kbir l-ambjent soċjali tagħna. Dawn l-innovazzjonijiet iddefinixxew mill-ġdid il-mod kif nikkomunikaw, nixtru u naċċessaw l-informazzjoni online, u dan jagħmilhom essenzjali għall-ħajja ta’ kuljum. L-aġenda diġitali Ewropea għall-2020-2030 tindirizza dawn il-bidliet. Hija tagħti prijorità lill-istabbiliment ta’ spazji diġitali siguri, tiżgura kompetizzjoni ġusta fis-swieq diġitali u ...

In 2023, the Commission adopted a proposal for a decision of the Parliament and of the Council amending Decision (EU) 2017/1324, to ensure the EU's continued participation in the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) under Horizon Europe. A partnership between the EU and 19 states, including 11 EU Member States, PRIMA seeks to build research and innovation capacities, and to develop knowledge and common innovative solutions for sustainable agro-food systems and ...

L-innovazzjoni għandha rwol dejjem aktar importanti fl-ekonomija tagħna. Minbarra li hija ta’ benefiċċju għall-konsumaturi u l-ħaddiema tal-UE, hija essenzjali biex jinħolqu impjiegi aħjar, tinbena soċjetà aktar ekoloġika, u tittejjeb il-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna. Hija wkoll kruċjali biex tinżamm il-kompetittività tal-UE fis-swieq globali. Il-politika tal-innovazzjoni hija l-interfaċċja bejn il-politika tar-riċerka u l-iżvilupp teknoloġiku u l-politika industrijali u l-għan tagħha huwa l-ħolqien ta ...

Il-politika Ewropea għar-riċerka u l-iżvilupp teknoloġiku (RTD) ilha qasam importanti tal-leġiżlazzjoni Ewropea mill-bidu nett, u ġiet estiża fil-bidu tas-snin tmenin bi programm qafas Ewropew għar-riċerka. Fl-2014, il-biċċa l-kbira tal-finanzjament tal-UE għar-riċerka kien taħt il-kappa ta’ Orizzont 2020, li kopra l-perjodu 2014–2020 u kellu l-għan li jiżgura l-kompetittività globali tal-UE. Is-suċċessur tiegħu Orizzont Ewropa, il-programm ta’ riċerka u innovazzjoni tal-UE kurrenti, ġie varat fl ...
