        Commission facilitates the world’s largest and most powerful
        ground-based gamma-ray observatory, revolutionising our
        understanding of the universe

Yesterday, the European Commission established the Cherenkov Telescope 
Array Observatory European Research Infrastructures Consortium (CTAO 
ERIC). This Consortium will construct and operate the world's largest 
and most powerful ground-based gamma-ray observatory, making a 
significant milestone in global astro-particle physics.

*Ekaterina Zaharieva*, Commissioner for Startups, Research and 
Innovation, said:

    /“We are thrilled to announce the creation of the CTAO ERIC, a
    groundbreaking facility poised to deepen our understanding of the
    universe. This state-of-the-art centre will solidify Europe's
    leadership in the field of astro-particle physics, while also
    enhancing its role as a hub for international research
    collaborations. The establishment of the CTAO ERIC underscores the
    strength and potential of the ERIC model in fostering not only
    pan-European partnerships but also global scientific cooperation.”/

        Mirror image proteins could hold the key to new Parkinson’s
        treatments

The EU-funded SYN-CHARGE project made the surprising discovery that 
these problem proteins may be targeted by peptide chains made from 
mirror image amino acids. The work lays the foundation for potential new 
therapies for several neurodegenerative diseases.
