Solar panels disguised as ancient Roman tiles or designed to blend into historic skylines: Pompeii and Évora are proving that heritage preservation and sustainability can go hand in hand.

REAHUB, a project funded by the European Union under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition (LIFE CET) sub-programme, officially started on 1 June 2026. The consortium held its kick-off meeting on 18–19 June in Barcelona, Spain, marking the beginning of the project’s collaborative activities.

The AIM-PLATES project aims to accelerate the industrialisation of sustainable manufacturing of composite bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells, reducing Europe’s dependence on external supply chains for key fuel-cell components while enabling lighter, more cost-effective systems.

The new Horizon Europe initiative brings together 13 partners from 8 countries to develop artificial intelligence, robotics and digital solutions for the future of sustainable manufacturing.

As 2025 marks the first year wind and solar generated more EU electricity than fossil fuels, four projects unite to raise awareness through the #EUWindFuture campaign

For INWED 2026, several European-funded projects coordinated in this campaign by ICONS Innovation Strategies are joining forces for a social media campaign to celebrate the contribution of European women engineers and researchers.

On Europe Day, EUBO opens its season by embodying dialogue, plurality and shared responsibility into musical practice.

By signing the pledge, ICONS supports the Battery Deal’s four interdependent pillars (Innovate, Produce, Buy and Secure) to accelerate battery innovation from research to market.

A strategic analysis of market realities, emerging technologies and selective industrial prioritisation shaping the future of European battery value chain.

The year has only just began and already ICONS is headed for a busy season of artistic endeavour with the European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO) and Theresia Orchestra, building on the momentum of 2025.

A new EU-funded project – COUPLE – aims to demonstrate an innovative ammonia cracking technology that combines palladium-based membrane reactors (PdMR) and proton ceramic electrochemical reactors (PCER) to produce high-purity, pressurised hydrogen.

During the year, ICONS welcomed new EU-funded projects while continuing its cultural activities.
