(Press-News.org) In April 2025, the MASTER project launched its 2nd Open Call, inviting educational institutions, content creation services engaging students in XR application testing, and SMEs or large companies (as challenge providers only) from EU Member States, associated overseas countries and territories, and third countries linked to Horizon Europe.
Applicants were asked to address specific challenges and submit proposals for evaluation. Following a rigorous assessment process conducted by both internal and external experts, 24 projects were selected for funding, having successfully met all the eligibility and quality criteria.
The execution period for these projects began in September 2025 and will continue until June 2026. During this phase, the selected projects will:
Receive financial support of up to €100,000.
Develop innovative educational content for integration into the MASTER platform.
Validate cutting-edge XR technologies with students in schools and professional training environments.
Benefit from technical, educational, and business mentoring provided by the MASTER consortium.
Throughout this period, the participating teams will design and test educational materials, ensuring their effectiveness and alignment with real learning needs, before integrating them into the MASTER platform.
The 1st Open Call focused on the creation of digital learning solutions using XR technology. Now, in this second phase, the emphasis shifts to their validation and real-world application. The selected projects will demonstrate how these XR-based solutions can enhance learning experiences, providing evidence of their impact and scalability.

Algae for health in food and pharma
2025-12-16
Cyanobacteria, micro- and macroalgae produce an infinite number of molecules, many of which have properties beneficial to health. They can relieve pain, alleviate inflammation, or boost our microbiome. Although there is much to uncover, the algae-based health and nutrition sector is growing.
The two-day summit will bring together scientists, innovators and industry leaders to explore the latest developments in algae cultivation and processing, food innovation, small molecules in pharma, and regulatory aspects. The goal is to advance the understanding of algae’s health potential and highlight ...
Advanced microrobots driven by acoustic and magnetic fields for biomedical applications
2025-12-16
Microrobots span dimensions from nanometers to sub-millimeters, can navigate biological fluids/tissues and localize to specific targets, and—owing to their miniaturization, untethered actuation, and multimodal locomotion—can access deep, narrow, and complex regions (e.g., vasculature and brain tissue) with minimal invasiveness, enabling broad prospects in targeted drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, cell manipulation, and imaging. Yet propulsion and motion control at low Reynolds number remain fundamental challenges, motivating diverse external-field actuation schemes; while electric and optical approaches are constrained by potential cellular ...
Chicago health information leader recognized for raising CPR readiness and blood pressure awareness
2025-12-16
DALLAS, Dec. 16, 2025 — In the United States, more than 350,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital every year, and 90% of them are fatal.[1] In an effort to save more lives, Laura Merrick, winner of the American Heart Association’s 2025 national Leaders of Impact™ campaign and Chicago health information leader, dedicated her campaign to preventing cardiac arrest deaths after her mom was one of the lucky 10% to survive.
“My mother survived cardiac arrest because a bystander knew CPR,” said Merrick. “I kept asking myself: What can we do ...
The Intimate Animal, a new book from Kinsey Institute Executive Director Dr. Justin Garcia
2025-12-16
Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships and stray from rewarding ones? Is it ever a good idea to open a relationship? How has the digital age affected courtship? And why do some longtime couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? These are just some of the questions Kinsey Institute Executive Director Dr. Justin Garcia explores in his highly anticipated new book, The Intimate Animal.
Drawing on decades of interdisciplinary research in evolutionary biology, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and social science, Dr. Garcia reveals the surprising science ...
When blue-collar workers lose union protection, they try self-employment
2025-12-16
In U.S. states with anti-union labor environments, workers are up to 53% more likely to start their own businesses—and blue-collar workers are more likely to do it out of necessity.
A study in Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal examines how the labor environment in states with “right-to-work” (RTW) laws compared with that in neighboring states with stronger union bargaining power.
“We found that the enactment of stringent anti-union laws reduces employees’ incentives to stay ...
New video dataset to advance AI for health care
2025-12-16
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have launched Observer, the first multimodal medical dataset to capture anonymized, real-time interactions between patients and clinicians. Much like the medical drama The Pitt, which portrays life in the emergency room, Observer lets outsiders peer inside primary care clinics — only, in this case, none of the filmed interactions are fictional.
Until now, the data available to health care researchers has been limited to traces left behind after a visit: qualitative information like clinician notes and quantitative measurements like patient vital signs. None of these sources ...
MEA-based graph deviation network for early autism syndrome signatures in human forebrain organoids
2025-12-16
Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) provide a noninvasive interface with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and long-term, multi-site recordings, enabling mechanistic investigations of in vitro human brain development and disease-related dysfunction; nevertheless, conventional MEA pipelines largely rely on firing/burst statistics or channel-/waveform-level features, which can be insufficient to systematically characterize and interpret network-level organization and its subtle pathological deviations. Accordingly, representing ...
New modeling approach sheds light on rare gut disease
2025-12-16
During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a “second brain” — the enteric nervous system (ENS) — which controls the movement of food and waste through the gut. But a combination of changes in the molecular letters making up certain genetic instructions can prevent these nerves from developing properly, leading to Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), a painful and often dangerous condition in which babies develop intestinal blockage and are unable to pass stool.
A study led by NYU Langone Health researchers reveals a new strategy to ...
Study documents potentially hazardous flame retardants in firefighter gear
2025-12-16
Some firefighter gear is manufactured with chemicals called brominated flame retardants that could pose a risk to firefighter health, according to a new study published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters on Dec. 16.
The study is the first published research in the U.S. to investigate and document the use of brominated flame retardants in firefighter turnout gear, worn for protection on the job. The findings could inform fire department decision-making when it comes to keeping or replacing gear.
Structural firefighters — those working in the built environment — wear turnout gear consisting of three layers: a flame-resistant outer shell; a ...
Can certain bacteria regulate aging of the immune system and its related alterations?
2025-12-16
The process of aging is associated with a decline in immune functions and persistent low-level inflammation. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered a strain of Lentilactobacillus capable of preventing and even reversing aging-related immune alterations. Feeding aged mice with heat-inactivated YRC2606 resulted in lowered levels of inflammatory cytokines and signaling proteins. These findings point to the possibility of a functional food intervention that has the potential to benefit an increasingly aging population.
