The third edition of EU TalentOn closed with the announcement of its winning teams on 11 September in Brest, France. Over five days, 100 early-career researchers aged 21 to 35 of 43 different nationalities, worked in teams to develop concrete responses to some of Europe's most pressing challenges, based on the five EU Missions under Horizon Europe.
The participants competed for a share of an €80,000 prize pool. First and second prizes were awarded in each of the five categories, alongside an Alumni Prize, a Special Jury Prize and the overall Grand Jury Prize.
The teams winning the 1st prize were:
Adaptation to climate change: Alejandro Roman, Marie Johanna Univer, Edoardo Kimani Bellotto and Florin Miron won with IMPRREST - from big data to decisions, a tool thatgives responders one verified assessment of climate emergencies and evidence for adaptation.
Cancer: Xhilda Dhamo, Oliwia Kosecka and Jafar Gura won with CogniVoice - a patient centered speech monitoring platform for post-treatment surveillance of Brain Cancer.
Restore our Ocean and Waters Mission: Gabriel Tejero,Siddhanth Shishodia, Dominika Czekanowska and Gjylije Hoti won with Mission PFASSible – a solution that helps with pollution removal into verified risk reduction: sensing, capturing, concentrating, and proving water safety.
Climate-neutral and smart cities: Lucia Petronio, Samar Momin, Samira Huber and Imen Kaabachi won with Block2City - turning building data into renovation choices, funding guidance and expert handoff, while helping cities map local demand.
Soil: Natasha Waris, Ilaria Bertolini, Felipe Quiroz, and Victoria Boycheva, won with RhizoSentinel – a solution that turns plants into living soil biosensors that reveal hidden soil biological threats before they cause crop losses, enabling earlier intervention and smarter soil management.
The Grand Jury Prize of €12,000 for the best overall project went to RhizoSentinel, while the Special Jury Prize of €3,000 was awarded to Marion Le Meur, Narjes Yazdi, Suresh Ajmeera, and Alberto Galindo Caballero with their project Colospy - a rapid, saliva-based molecular test detecting colorectal-cancer-miRNA signature, designed as a stool-free screening option.
The projects were assessed by a jury of experts from academia, business and government on both scientific merit and market potential – the ability to become real innovations that would contribute to Europe's competitiveness.
Startups, Research and Innovation Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva (pictured) said:
“Congratulations to the winners of EU TalentOn 2026. The solutions you have put forward show what European talent can achieve when it is given room to think differently. Results like these underline that Europe's most important asset are its brightest minds.”
Background
EU TalentOn brings together early-career researchers to develop solutions to major societal challenges linked to the five EU Missions under Horizon Europe. By bringing science closer to citizens and building new connections between science and society in open, playful and engaging ways, it supports the objectives of the ERA Policy Agenda.
EU TalentOn is a flagship event of Science Comes to Town, the Commission's year-long initiative bringing research and innovation closer to citizens across three host cities in 2026: Kiel (Germany), Brest (France) and Split (Croatia). With over more than 1,000 activities and with more than 70 partners, Science Comes to Town 2026 is connecting scientific institutions, innovation ecosystems and the public throughout the year.
The programme continues later this month, when Kiel hosts the 36th EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS 2026) from 22 to 27 September, before Science Comes to Town 2026 draws to a close with a joint Closing Event and Ceremony on 14–16 December.
Science Comes to Town will return for a second edition in 2027, hosted by four new cities: Aarhus (Denmark), Genoa (Italy), Kaunas (Lithuania) and Oeiras (Portugal). EU TalentOn 2027 will be held in Kaunas, while EUCYS 2027 will take place in Genoa.
Women accounted for 54% of participants in the 2026 edition, reflecting the growing contribution of female talent to Europe’s research and innovation landscape.
Towns and cities from around the Arctic took part in the launch of an EU-funded Arctic co-operation initiative that will enable more municipal leaders, Indigenous representatives and youth to work together.
The European Union has launched a new initiative gathering 21 towns and cities from across the Arctic to work together on shared priorities. BRIDGE, Building Resilient International Dialogue and Governance for Arctic Engagement, is led by the Arctic Mayors’ Forum (AMF), building on the foundations of the Arctic Regional and Urban Cooperation network (AURC).
European Commission
“At a time of ever-increasing environmental and geopolitical change, cooperation among Arctic communities is more important than ever,” said Peter M. Wagner, Head of the European Commission’s Service for Foreign Policy Instruments, speaking at the EU Arctic Forum 2026 in Brussels. “We are proud to launch a new phase of EU support to Arctic cities forging connections across borders, building local capacity, and delivering tangible benefits for their residents.”
“A safe, resilient and inclusive Arctic isn't a side interest for the EU, it's a shared project,” said Patti Bruns, AMF Secretary General. “I’m excited about our work over the next four years, bringing together communities from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland to strengthen cooperation between local governments who face increasing challenges – and opportunities.”
More cities co-operating in a permanent structure
BRIDGE integrates AURC’s approaches and methods into AMF’s permanent structure, extending the cooperation to more Arctic mayors and urban practitioners.
Despite variations in size and governance structures, Arctic communities share a surprising range of challenges. Building on AURC achievements, these cities are now identifying common themes for the next four years of peer learning, exchanges, study visits, and collaborative problem-solving.

AURC sparked positive changes in Arctic communities
In 2024, AURC gathered 15 Arctic local authorities from Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Alaska in the United States for the first time to work together on sustainable development. After two years of structured cooperation with expert support, positive local results were already visible.
“Whether it was learning from Tromsø’s approach to community hubs or troubleshooting heavy equipment with our Canadian neighbours, AURC provided us with a roadmap for growth,” says Assisaun Toovak, Mayor of Utqiaġvik, the northernmost town in the United States. “We aren’t just a remote town in Alaska: we’re a key player in a global Arctic community.”
From new international welcome houses and services in Rovaniemi (Finland), Gällivare and Luleå (Sweden) and Tromsø (Norway) to plans for a new Youth Commission in Fairbanks North Star Borough (USA) inspired by peers in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and elsewhere, AURC sparked an array of positive local changes across the Arctic. These span citizen engagement and youth participation; attracting and retaining talent; sustainable tourism; culture and inclusive economic development; and resilience and emergency preparedness.
European Commission
Arctic connections supporting resilience and sustainability
Beyond these tangible changes on the ground, trusted exchanges between mayors and staff of Arctic local authorities are boosting knowledge, capacity to adapt, and new initiatives. So far, these include cross-border cultural exchanges, focused workshops for sustainable Arctic tourism professionals, and best-practice sharing on wildfire preparedness.
Another major result is a new Interreg Aurora project TALENT NORTH, Attracting and Anchoring Global Talent in the Arctic, developed by the Arctic Six universities alliance and AMF, along with administrations and universities of several Arctic cities.
Erkki Parkkinen, Mayor of Salla, Lapland (Finland), said: “It was the best thing for Salla to join AURC: I can now exchange good practices with friends across the Arctic. It’s very important for our municipalities to stay in touch with each other, for the future of the Arctic, for resilience.”
BRIDGE is funded by the European Commission’s Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI), working closely with the European External Action Service, the diplomatic wing of the EU, and the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE).
Arctic Mayors’ Forum is pan-Arctic forum representing the voices of Arctic Peoples through elected leaders at the municipal and community level. They provide an open, collaborative platform for their members, including Indigenous Peoples from around the Arctic.
The European Commission has approved a €52 million (RON 277 million) Romanian state aid scheme for cattle farmers facing increased fuel and fertiliser prices due to the Middle East crisis.
Romania notified to the Commission a €52 million scheme to support companies active in the cattle farming sector. The scheme, which will run until 31 December 2026, aims to mitigate the impact of the increase in agricultural fuel and fertiliser prices.
The aid will take the form of direct grants, with a maximum of €50,000 per company.
The Commission assessed the scheme under EU state aid rules, in particular Article 107(3)(c)of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, which enables member states to support the development of certain economic activities subject to certain conditions, as well as Sections 1 and 2.1 of the METSAF.
The Commission found that the scheme is in line with the conditions set out in the METSAF. In particular, the aid will be granted based on a scheme with a clear estimated budget and will be provided to temporarily support the development of companies active in the primary production of agricultural products. The Commission concluded that the scheme is necessary, appropriate and proportionate to facilitate the development of an economic activity and does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
On this basis, the Commission approved the Romanian scheme under EU State aid rules.
Background
On 29 April 2026, the Commission adopted the METSAF to enable member states to support the EU economy in the context of the Middle East crisis. The METSAF is a targeted and temporary framework to address the effects of the crisis on some of the most exposed sectors of the economy: agriculture, fishery, transport and energy-intensive industries. The METSAF will be in place until 31 December 2026. During its period of application, the Commission will keep the content, scope and duration of the framework under review in the light of developments in the Middle East and of the general economic situation.
While the transition towards a clean economy remains the long-term solution to shield EU companies from the effects of global energy shocks, the METSAF allows Member States to act immediately to make sure that the growth of the most exposed companies is not irreparably hampered by the current crisis.
To this end, support can take various forms for companies active in the agriculture, fishery and transport sectors. This includes aid based on actual consumption to cover part of the price increases for fuel or fertilisers, and a simplified approach for small amounts of aid.
The METSAF also includes a temporary adjustment to the Clean Industrial Deal State aid Frameworkallowing for further flexibility and higher aid intensities to address electricity price spikes.
The non-confidential versions of today's decisions will be made available under case number SA.124647, in the state aid register on the Commission's competition website. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in theCompetition Weekly e-News.
Ya no solo es Peinado. Ya no se trata de un juez tronado que va por libre persiguiendo a la mujer de Pedro Sánchez. Ni una jueza, como la de Badajoz, Beatriz Biedma, a quien la cloaca sanchista intentó acojonar de todas las maneras posibles. Ni siquiera son los siete magistrados de la sala segunda del Tribunal Supremo, que mandaron al talego a Ábalos y a Koldo, seguramente influidos por su ideología ultra.
La cercanía entre humanos y animales se va estrechando y ya solo el 7% de los españoles ve a los animales como algo completamente diferente al mundo humano, según el 'Estudio Fundación BBVA de percepciones y actitudes ante los animales 2026', que aporta evidencia de cómo la sociedad valora, cada vez más, al mundo animal y natural. De hecho, según el sondeo, ocho de cada diez encuestados está dispuesto a pagar un precio superior por productos de granja obtenidos respetando el bienestar animal.
Olga Cerpa y Mestisay ha encontrado una nueva ruta para su sonido con los ritmos africanos. Así se puede apreciar escuchando su vigésimo quinto trabajo, La Costa de los cantares, donde incluyen once temas que beben de la música de Angola, Congo, Guinea Bissau y Cabo Verde, aunque fusionados con la personalidad clásica de la banda grancanaria. "Se grabó todo en Lisboa porque tenemos una relación de muchos años con esta ciudad, tenemos amigos allí, hubo un productor importantísimo en nuestra carrera, Julio Pereira, multiinstrumentista, considerado el maestro del cavaquiño portugués", señala desde el principio el líder de Mestisay, Manolo González.
Vecinos de Barranco Grande han trasladado al alcalde y su equipo de gobierno demandas centradas en la limpieza, la seguridad peatonal, la accesibilidad, el mantenimiento urbano, el estado de las vías y la mejora de los espacios públicos. Las peticiones fueron expuestas durante un recorrido por el barrio en el que los residentes señalaron sobre el terreno los puntos prioritarios.
El Ayuntamiento de Santa Cruz de Tenerife prevé recuperar la playa de Las Gaviotas durante el verano de 2027, una vez ejecutadas las obras de emergencia para estabilizar el talud de la carretera TF-134, cerrada desde comienzos de junio por riesgo de desprendimientos.

Brasil gira enloquecidamente como un trompo mientras se acerca el primer turno de las elecciones presidenciales, el 4 de octubre. Hace un año y tres días, Jair Bolsonaro fue condenado a 23 años y siete meses de prisión por complotar contra Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, quien busca ser reelegido nada menos que frente al hijo del golpista. El vértigo político es tal en el gigante sudamericano que la encuesta Quaest conocida este lunes ubica a Flávio Bolsonaro por delante de Lula en un segundo turno de fines del próximo mes: 42% frente al 40%. Si bien el sondeo tiene un margen de error de dos puntos, este resultado no se había visto desde abril. La medición encargada por el diario carioca O Globo se llevó a cabo en medio de la crisis sin precedentes que atraviesa el Supremo Tribunal de Justicia (STF) y que tiene en el centro de la convulsión nada menos que a Alexandre de Moraes. El juez cuyo protagonismo durante el proceso contra el expresidente fue rutilante y devino símbolo de la ética institucional aparece relacionado con Daniel Vorcaro, el dueño del banco Master, actualmente encarcelado por protagonizar el mayor fraude financiero de Brasil. El mismo Vorcaro ha sido el financista de un proyecto cinematográfico "Dark Horse", destinado a ensalzar la figura de Jair Bolsonaro. Su hijo candidato fue uno de los principales interlocutores de esa iniciativa. El aspirante del Partido Liberal (PL) ha sido formalmente por el STF debido a las sospechas de corrupción, evasión de divisas y blanqueo de dinero para filmar la película. Semejante escándalo no se ha reflejado en la encuesta de Quaest, aunque sí parece impactar el declive de De Moraes, a quien la ultraderecha intenta vincular con Lula.
El mod multijugador de ‘The Last of Us Parte II’ para PC finalmente no llegará a manos de los jugadores. Al menos, si atendemos a las explicaciones de su creador, el conocido como Speclizer, que ha recibido una carta enviada en nombre de Sony Interactive Entertainment en la que se le solicita que no publicase el proyecto, poniendo fin a varios meses de trabajo y cuando su estreno estaba previsto para este mismo septiembre.
