EU research funding-yet another Brexit casualty! Oh Boris Johnson! (new swear words).
European Commision Funding and Tenders Opportunities for Breacktrough Zero Emissions Energy production Includes LENR (sort of)

But sam12 , this is for funding good ole "Coulomb barrier" restricted fusion, if someone ven attempted to sneak a LENR proposal there would be at best scoffed at, at worst publicly chastized for daring.
-
Good news about the delay- but sadly we are not applying, since (due to Brexit fears) we have not found another EU partner to apply with.
I happen to be a Citizen of the UK as well as Canada. Can a UK team apply? If any experimental physicists out there, get in touch.

That article is as poorly written as poor researched. What a complete waste of cyberspace.

I wrote a nice comment and they blocked it.
This oilprice piece is purposeful piece imo to discredit the space. The whole compact fusion thing with Lockheed is also a rouse because afaik that is hot fusion.As for Goog go lookup the Goog Whistle-blowr who said their index tried to blockout ecatworld as part of their "fake news" program. And so he got curious and found the lab working on it not sure this is the same as the public lab...have to listen to him.

Tons of people are waking up to the fact that they aren't the company they once were, I know many insiders who are deeply concerned. They probably make too much money from sale of our data. If you think ads generate a lot of money online, they do but they actually dont work as well as you think (thats a whole story into itself). Goole probably makes a lot of money for pushing "authoritative content" - meaning paid for stories - the NY Times and Washington Post in the olden days were the two fronts for sending stories to America. These types of manipulations are de rigeur.

No, Google does not make any money by "pushing" content, except paid content which is clearly marked as advertising with a box that says "Sponsored" and "Ad." They are very clear about that. They would get in trouble with their regular customers -- that is, companies that pay them to place ads -- if they surreptitiously accepted money from other customers to make it look as if their algorithms selected content on its own merits. Advertisements that are not marked as advertisements would have a big advantage.
Decades ago, newspapers used to run advertisements that looked like news stories. This fooled the readers, giving the advertisements more credibility, and making it more likely people would read them. Nowadays, all advertisements that look like news are marked "Advertisement."
In other words, they don't refrain from doing this out of the goodness of their heart, but because it would be a contract violation and they would lose billions of dollars in business if they did it. It is not de rigeur. Perhaps you do not know much about Google's business model, and you should be more careful about making bold assertions about it.

My wife and I have both been involved with EU funded projects. They prefer to fund colaborative project teams with members/companies from several different EU countries. Some say this is so reviewers get to travel a lot and stay in nice hotels but I couldn't possibly comment.

After thirty years, cold fusion, or rather the LENR - low energy nuclear reactions, is back on top. It is recent news that the European Union has decided to finance an innovative project - CleanHME-, Clean Power from Hydrogen-Metal Systems with 5.5 million euros for the four-year period 2021-2024. Approved last March, the project that started in September, has as its main objective that of developing a new source of clean, safe, compact and efficient energy based on hydrogen-metal systems, which could be a turning point for both private use. and for industrial applications.
Participants are 10 countries: Italy with the Polytechnic of Turin, INFN, Frascati, University of Siena and a private company FUTUREON; Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, United States, Canada and Poland with the University of Szczecin, which acts as coordinator of the group. Indeed, in Szczecin there is one of the reference laboratories in which he will work as visiting professor Sergio Bartalucci, nuclear physicist associated with INFN and president of ASTRI - Association of Scientists and Technologists for Italian Research -, which has been involved in research for some time on the merger. Why this sort of rethinking after the scientific community had practically decided to abandon this line of research?
In truth not everyone had thrown in the towel, even if the difficulties present in the Fleischmann and Pons experiment, measure in a comparable and repeatable way the excess heat as a product of the deuterium palladium reaction, the instability of the process, and above all the inability to find a shared theory suitable to explain the phenomenon, had certainly appeared as an obstacle to the continuation of research. In reality, in Italy, at INFN with Freancesco Celani, in France and in the United States, but above all in Japan with the experiments supported by Toyota and Mitsubishi, we continued to work on this phenomenon, obtaining alternating successes which however allowed the scientists not to give themselves for losers.
It is no coincidence that even Google in 2015, with 10 million dollars, carried out three different experiments with thirty researchers, experiments which, although not satisfying expectations, nevertheless served to investigate the reaction with new tools and more sophisticated techniques. between hydrogen and low temperature metals, which is still an unexplored field of materials physics.

EU-money = party money.
Most cash did go to teams with the best conenctions not the best experiments. But I personally expect no real results from such a "watering pot" apporach.

Is there an intellectual blackout on Mills' work? I consider it highly anomalous and ethically bankrupt to leave this work out.
Why is Google with it's dragnet empire considered the paragon of science on anything. J.P. Morgan has a lot of money too, do they need to validate things before we can discuss them? -

Wyttenbach , I think that the fact this project got approved is positive, no matter how anyone of us might disagree with the direction in which the research will be conducted. There's always the possibility of reaching out to them and provide good advice. I know from the perspectiv of many of us, they may have set the bar relatively low in terms of goals, but I don't think they will come out with nothing. Even a better understanding of how Celani's cell works and a an impecable calorimetric confirmation of a 20% excess heat would be interesting as a result.
