ARISE-NUTRINT – Reducing nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases in adolescence and youth: interventions and policies to boost nutrition fluency and diet quality in Africa
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a major public health problem, resulting in over 70% of global deaths each year; the majority (85%) of deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries. While cost-effective, evidence-based best practices are available, implementation of these interventions has remained a critical challenge, particularly ones targeted at promoting health behaviors among adolescents and youth. […]
SMHYLES – Safe, sustainable and Modular HYbrid systems for Long-duration Energy storage and grid Services
Energy storage systems (ESS) are increasingly vital due to the rise of renewable energy sources. However, current ESS technology faces challenges related to fire safety, sustainability, and inflexible energy and power design. In this context, the EU-funded SMHYLES project will develop sustainable hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) by combining two low critical raw material storage […]
SolChargE – Decentralized Solar Charging System for Sustainable Mobility in rural Africa
