Digital farming cannot reach its full potential when apps don’t work well together or internet access is unreliable.
Researchers are now developing open-source tools that can share data, work offline and adapt to different farming needs.
The goal: make digital farming more practical and accessible.
How could this help build farmers’ trust in digital tools? ➡️ bit.ly/4y1nyIM

For a farmer wondering whether to invest in a new digital solution, a successful demonstration hundreds of kilometres away may not be particularly convincing. But seeing the same technology work on a neighbouring farm, or hearing a recommendation from a fellow farmer, a friend, or even a conversatio...

Would you trust a farming technology you had never seen working in conditions like yours?
Researchers and tech companies are putting digital tools to the test on real farms across Europe.
Open-source building blocks and free decision support tools are helping farmers compare technologies based on cost, energy use, connectivity and performance.

🌡️ A global average temperature tells us a lot about climate change. But it cannot tell us how it will affect, for example, the region you come from.
New climate models work at scales of just a few kilometres. They help scientists represent climate processes more accurately, including how human activities shape the changing climate.

What difference could this make in tackling climate risks close to home? ➡️ https://bit.ly/4Ady8h1

What if climate models could help us explore the effects of climate change on your region?

Researchers are developing models that represent climate processes accurately, at scales of a few kilometres. They can also better trace how human activities affect the climate system.

This can help communities and decision-makers take practical steps now: strengthen flood protection, manage wildfire risk, protect water supplies and design infrastructure for changing conditions.

What if we could spot dementia risk before symptoms even start?

Ahead of World Alzheimer’s Day on 21 September, we look at how researchers are using AI to catch early signs of cognitive decline.

Their tools combine brain activity, memory tests and lifestyle factors to flag who's at higher risk of developing dementia.

How could earlier answers change the way people prepare for and manage dementia? Follow the link in the first comment to find out more.

Could old sailing manuals change how we understand the history of science?

EU-funded researchers have traced centuries of sailors’ observations to show how knowledge travelled across oceans, cultures and generations. ➡️ bit.ly/4iPQXRc

How did sailors help humanity see Earth as one connected planet?

For centuries, they recorded winds, currents, weather and coastlines in practical sailing manuals and logbooks.

Researchers are now bringing these records together to show how observations made at sea gradually changed people’s understanding of the world. ➡️ bit.ly/4iPQXRc
