State of the European Union: research and education essential to meet Europe’s ambitions

EUA welcomes this general pledge for a strong and united Europe, but is convinced that Europe can only meet these ambitions and tackle major societal challenges, such as climate change and migration, through a considerable boost of research and education.

2017 Marine Plastics Innovation Challenge

Each year, 8 million tons of plastic end up in the oceans which is the equivalent to a full rubbish truck every minute. This pollution threatens the survival of fish and other sea creatures, destroys marine and coastal ecosystems that support over three billion people worldwide, and endangers human health as it enters the food chain. If no action is taken, by 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the oceans. More...
