As part of the H2FORM3G project, partners from ALBA Synchrotron and Eurecat carried out in-situ tensile experiments on hydrogen-charged steel samples. The experiments took place from 7 to 9 of April, at ESRF - the European Synchrotron in France. Using high-energy X-ray diffraction (XRD), the team investigated how hydrogen influences deformation in 3rd generation [...]
The results of the LIFE PRISTINE project were presented at the 4th International Conference on UV-LED Technologies & Applications (ICULTA), held from 21–24 April in Berlin, Germany. The conference brought together researchers, industry stakeholders, and technology developers working across the UV-LED value chain, from fundamental research to real-world applications. During the event, Xylem project [...]

Stefano Bucci, project partner from Centro Ricerche Fiat and PhD student at the University of Turin, delivered an oral presentation titled “Low CO₂ [...]
Mounir Kadiri, PhD candidate at ENSTA , a leading engineering school within the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, presented a poster on his doctoral research at the SF2M Ouest Thematic Day, held at La Rochelle University on 2 April 2026. His work, carried out within the framework of the European DURALINK project, investigates the effect [...]
On March 25th, Steel4Fatigue project coordinator Sergi Parareda from Eurecat participated in the General Assembly of the ShotTempering project, one of the cluster initiatives funded by the European Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS). The presentation aimed to introduce the key concepts and overall approach of the Steel4Fatigue project to the ShotTempering partners. [...]
Chaymaa Boujrouf, Postdoctoral researcher at Aix-Marseille University's IM2NP laboratory, presented a poster at the "From Scrap to Steel: Addressing the Challenge of Residual Elements in Recycling" workshop, held on 4 March 2026 at the Abbaye des Prémontrés in Pont-à-Mousson, France. Boujrouf's poster, entitled "Nanoscale investigation of residual element segregation in steels produced through low-CO₂ [...]
Every day we use water for cooking, showering, washing clothes, or cleaning our homes. These are everyday and essential actions, but we often forget that everything we pour down the drain doesn’t simply disappear. In this way, many substances end up entering the water cycle and, over time, can return to the environment through [...]
ACCIONA, acting as LIFE PRISTINE coordinator, participated in the first InterLIFE event held in Spain, organised by the National Contact Points (NCPs) and the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. The event brought together representatives from various LIFE projects to exchange experiences and discuss approaches to sustainability and the replication [...]
The NewAIMS consortium met on March 10th at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Metalúrgicas (CENIM-CSIC) in Madrid to review technical milestones and finalize the roadmap for the project's final year. The meeting, held in a hybrid format, focused on transitioning the project’s latest metallurgical breakthroughs into industrial applications. Coordinated by Eurecat’s Metallic and Ceramic [...]
On 5 March, ACCIONA took part in the Tecnoaqua technical conference on water distribution and treatment, titled “Advanced management of emerging contaminants”. The event focused on the full chain of emerging contaminants (CECs), from detection and monitoring to advanced (quaternary) treatment solutions. Organised within the water sector knowledge platform Tecnoaqua, the session brough together [...]
