Elvira Fortunato was one of the winners of the "Horizon Impact Award 2020". This prize distinguished the “INVISIBLE”, project. This project set up the basis for the development of the first display produced with sustainable materials, with application in endless applications and sectors and which is already being commercialized.

Maryia Gabriel, Commissionaer for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth stressed that “European research and innovation programmes fund the best ideas to advance science and generate knowledge but also to translate these results into concrete benefits for society. The Horizon Impact Award serves to demonstrate how successful uptake of research results can create impact in every corner of our society. I am delighted to see that there are many great examples of how research and innovation directly benefits citizens. In many different ways, their ideas and products have changed people’s daily lives for the better.”

Horizon Impact Award prize support distinguishes the projects funded by EC, in the frame of H2020 programme whose results created social impact in Europe and worldwide.
