New EU Publications and Apps

A selection of recent EU Publications and Apps, all available in English and downloadable for free.

For those interested in Cyber Space, there is a new App available from the European Commission.

¨The “Embrace Space” Space Research app is the first EU-funded FP7 initiative that allows the user to discover the FP7 Space projects in one convenient and easy-to-use mobile application. The contents are labeled under 3 themes: ISS, Earth & Space. In addition, the app offers a media-rich experience with a video, images and the people behind the scenes. This new version keeps you posted on the latest news regarding the FP7 Space Research projects and allows you to bookmark your favourite subjects.
In the section “extra”, you can test your EU knowledge through the interactive FP7 & Space Quiz and you can even follow Emma, the seagull, via the infotainment option based on an innovative geo-localization technology that allows you to keep track of the seagull in her flight across the continents.¨
