Research and Innovation at the heart of the EU Taxonomy
As a key contribution to the European Green Deal goals, the European
Commission adopted on 21 April 2021 the EU Taxonomy criteria for
economic activities to be qualified as substantially contributing to
climate change mitigation and adaptation, whilst respecting the
environment. This brings important benefits and new implications for
Research and Innovation (R&I).
Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture,
Education and Youth, said:
Quote
The EU Taxonomy offers forward-looking opportunities to our researchers
and innovators to access sustainable financing for their best
technologies and solutions accelerating the transition towards a greener
Europe. I count on our research and scientific community to continue to
bring valuable scientific expertise and strengthen even more the level
of ambition and impartiality of the EU Taxonomy.

Success stories
Planting the seeds of a sustainable organic farming future
Farmers need access to suitable organic seed but there is a lack of
high-quality organic seeds in Europe. The EU-funded LIVESEED project
addressed this by developing a new organic seed quality strategy, a
Europe-wide seed database and sustainable breeding techniques that
target specific farming conditions. By strengthening the EU’s organic
agriculture, these results will benefit all citizens.

Paris to Berlin in an hour by train? Here’s how it could happen
The hyperloop is what you get when you take a magnetic levitation train
and put it into an airless tube. The lack of resistance allows the
train, in theory, to achieve unseen speeds, a concept that is edging
closer and closer to reality – and could provide a greener alternative
to short-haul air travel.
