EIC Horizon Prize on Early Warning for Epidemics: Commission awards €5 
million to winning project
The winner of the €5 million EIC Horizon Prize on Early Warning for 
Epidemics is Greece-based project EarlY WArning System for 
Mosquito-borne Diseases (EYWA).

Every year, more than 1 billion people suffer from vector-borne diseases 
such as malaria, dengue, or yellow fever. To help prevent and mitigate 
the impact of such outbreaks, the European Commission launched a prize 
to reward the best Earth observation-based prototype to forecast and 
monitor vector-borne diseases.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth, said:

    /"My sincere congratulations to EYWA – the winner of the EIC Horizon
    Prize on Early Warning for Epidemics. The solution, based on Earth
    observation and other data, improves Europe’s preparedness to fight
    vector-borne diseases, also addressing the effects of climate change
    on human health, at home and abroad. A special mention goes to the
    other two finalists of this important prize, D-MOSS and FARSEER, for
    their outstanding work. I am both proud and grateful that European
    excellence has demonstrated once again to be capable of providing
    solutions to global challenges.”/

The supercool origins of water’s strange behaviour

At low temperatures and high pressures, water behaves strangely, 
becoming two distinct liquids. With a pioneering use of X-ray lasers, 
the EU-funded WATER project explored the behaviour of water in this 
liminal realm. The findings have potential to improve fuel cells and 
desalination technology, and may even aid the search for life on other 
planets.

Triggering original fear memories could treat phobias and PTSD

In a lab in Amsterdam, arachnophobes have volunteered to encounter their 
eight-legged nemeses to help researchers hoping to conjure and 
obliterate fear memories. These studies, as well as new understanding of 
overlooked brain regions, are revealing how fears linked to PTSD or 
phobias work, and how they may be treated.
