Twelve finalists in the running for the EIC Horizon Prize for Affordable 
High-Tech for Humanitarian Aid
Twelve outstanding solutions made it to the final round of the EIC 
Horizon Prize for Affordable High-Tech for Humanitarian Aid. This €5 
million prize is run under Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation 
programme, and will reward the best, proven, cost-effective, tech-based 
solutions for humanitarian aid. It is divided into five categories: 
shelter and related assistance; water, hygiene and sanitation; energy; 
health and medical care; and an “open” category.

Commissioner Gabriel said:

This Prize represents the Commission’s commitment to promote innovation 
and technologies that can improve people’s lives, in particular the most 
vulnerable. The solutions put forward also demonstrate that technologies 
can be applied in an inclusive and affordable manner. I am happy to see 
that the Prize attracted new applicants from the EU and across the world.

Mass-produced European solar panels on the horizon

An EU-funded project has developed a European version of 
high-efficiency, next-generation solar technology and a low-cost 
manufacturing process. The innovative solar cells could boost a switch 
to solar energy and recharge European solar-panel production.

Q&A: How physics could explain why people respond differently to 
coronavirus infection

Some people’s immune systems contain pre-existing protection against 
coronavirus, indicating that they have encountered a similar infection 
to Covid-19 before, according to Dr Aleksandra Walczak, a physicist at 
École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France.
