This special episode of CORDIScovery comes to you from the EU’s Research and Innovation Days. The future of energy and mobility – two areas at the heart of Europe’s transition to a greener, smarter and more sustainable economy. From smarter air traffic control to advanced electric vehicles and more fuel-efficient aircraft, research and innovation are helping to reshape our transport and its relation to the energy supply.Gabriel Garcia Rodriguez manages the ECHOES project which aims to extend VHF coverage into oceanic, polar and other remote areas to improve aviation safety and efficiency. The HiEFFICIENT project, coordinated by Christoph Abart, ispromoting resource-efficient and decarbonised transportation, focusing on electronic power circuits and systems of electrified vehicles, testing systems and charging infrastructures. The Racer project (part of the GAM-2020-FRC project) was led by Jérome Geneix. Racer is developing a commercially viable aircraft that flies as fast as an aeroplane but can alsohover like a helicopter, particularly effective in rescue missions.
