EU-funded researchers are investigating the link between mindfulness and health, offering potential new options for the treatment and early detection of a wide range of diseases.  These experts study the biochemical links between the brain and body to create new tools for monitoring health.  By using molecular imprinting, they aim to identify disease mechanisms and influence cellular communication to promote overall health, potentially predicting diseases before symptoms appear and enabling proactive health management.  Discover more about their efforts here ➡️ europa.eu/!MGT4Km   #ResearchImpactEU #HorizonMagazine

Ever wondered how hotels prepare for emergency situations? Meet #EUfunded project HOTHREAT - Tailored CBRNe protection measures for hotels and conference centers, that trains hotel staff in protecting against dangers such as chemical and biological weapons. Recently, they hosted Europe’s first large scale training and simulation of a chemical attack in a hotel. ⚠️ The simulation depicted a situation in which a hazardous chemical was released from a backpack left outside the room door during a VIP visit to the hotel. The task of the hotel staff was to quickly recognise the danger, secure the site, and then evacuate and secure the injured. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eQtD7WPy #SecurityEU

🚨 Let’s shape the future of the EU Budget together! 🗣️ 📢 💶 The EU budget is more than just figures on a spreadsheet—it’s about people, opportunities, and our shared future. It funds the roads we drive on, the research that fuels innovation, the farms that feed us, and the businesses that create jobs. It has helped us navigate crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic to the energy crisis. It has also enabled us to stand firmly with Ukraine in the face of Russia’s aggression. However, new challenges and expectations for EU action require reconsidering the way the EU budget works to make it fit for the future. The objective of a free, democratic, strong, secure, prosperous and competitive Europe calls for a reformed and reinforced EU budget – simpler, more impactful, and more targeted. 📢 Today, we take an important step forward with the launch of the Communication: ‘The Road to the next Multiannual Financial Framework’. This Communication lays out the challenges and opportunities shaping the next long-term EU budget. 🌍 We need a European budget that reflects the needs and aspirations of Europeans. And who better to guide us than… Europeans themselves? 🗣️ That’s why we are also launching Europe-wide Public Consultations! A chance for citizens, businesses, and stakeholders to have their say on the policies and priorities that should guide our next long-term budget. Your ideas, concerns, and expectations will help shape the future of Europe. This is your opportunity to weigh in on the policies that shape your daily life. You don’t need to be an expert; you just need to care about Europe’s future. We want to hear from you – your ideas, your concerns, your vision for a better Europe! 👉 Now it’s your turn!
