The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Adaptive and smart materials and structures for more efficient vessels (ADAM4EVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Materials and structures are called adaptive if they can change certain properties in a predictable manner due to the forces acting on them (passive) or by means of built in actuators (active). Those materials and structures are referred to as smart if they provide best performance when operation circumstances change. The project ADAM4EVE focuses on the development and assessment of applications o ...

A novel muscular micro-electro-stimulation device for the enhanced treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis avoiding bracing and invasive open surgery (STIMULAIS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive structural spinal deformity that affects around 2-3% of children aged between 10 and 16 in the world. Current conservative treatments (bracing and physiotherapy) are not sufficiently effective in stopping curve progression, so that more than 40.000 patients per year need an invasive fusion surgery that eliminates spine mobility. Recent studies ...

Pilot-plant for the material utilization of plastic waste in the production of products based on new, polimere-bound wood materials (WPCRecycle)

Start date: Dec 1, 2001, End date: May 31, 2004,

Background In Europe, some 48 million m3 wood chipboards were produced in 2000-2001. Only a small section of these boards is exposed directly to weathering, where the boards' construction functions or decorative features have to last for many years. WERZALIT AG + CO KG produces duroplast-chipwood mouldings that are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor ap ...
