What Europe Is Funding Screensaver
The What Europe Is Funding screensaver shows research projects from CORDIS, the EU's record of what it funds, key-less. The API returns dates as untranslated template placeholders like "1 {{month_12}} 2027"; the day and year are real, so the token is resolved rather than the date discarded. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.

How the What Europe Is Funding screensaver works

The EU's record of funded research
CORDIS, the Community Research and Development Information Service, is the European Commission’s main source for results of projects funded under the EU’s framework programmes for research and innovation, covering programmes from FP1 to Horizon Europe. It is managed by the Publications Office of the European Union on behalf of the Commission’s research and innovation departments, executive agencies and joint undertakings.
The public repository holds project information such as factsheets, participants, reports and deliverables, with links to open-access publications. Because EU grants are shared among consortia, a single project may list universities, companies and research institutes in many countries. Check each record for what it actually reports, since the level of detail varies between projects.
The saver shows recent records, which can include projects that have only just started. Early entries can be thin, and a project appearing here means it is in the EU’s record, not that its results exist yet. Results are added to CORDIS later as the project reports them.
