History of European Urbanism in the 20th Century (UrbanHist)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Throughout the 20th century, urban planning constituted itself as an important tool to spatially direct social developments. This applies to Europe more so than to any other continent. Urban planning contributed significantly to the emergence of the welfare state, strong economies and a relatively balanced settlement structure. However, urban planning also caused the suppression and destruction of...

Computational Modeling and Design of Lithium-Ion Batteries (COMBAT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

"Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are among the most promising solutions for energy storage. Compared with other resources such as bio-fuel, solar cells, fuel cells or lead acid batteries, rechargeable batteries are more portable and allow for quick energy storage and release. The higher power and energy density make batteries suitable as the energy resource for most portable elect. devices including ...

Human Brain Project Specific Grant Agreement 1 (HBP SGA1)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Such an understanding can provide profound insights into our humanity, leading to fundamentally new computing technologies, and transforming the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. Modern ICT brings this prospect within reach. The HBP Flagship Initiative (HBP) thus proposes a unique strategy that uses I...

LARGE AREA FLUIDIC WINDOWS (LaWin)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

An important target of Europe 2020 is climate change and energy sustainability. To reach the ambitious aims, it is necessary to improve the energy performance of buildings in operation. Embodied energy in materials presents a high percentage of the energy spent in the whole life cycle of a building, so new materials are needed. Therefore we will develop within this project a novel material solutio...

"Much currently deployed cryptography is designed using more “art'” than “science,” and most of the schemes used in practice lack rigorous justification for their security. While theoretically sound designs do exist, they tend to be quite a bit slower to run and hence are not realistic from a practical point of view. This gap is especially evident in “low-level” cryptographic primitives, which are...

Recent advances in hydraulic fracturing (HF) have allowed for commercially viable extraction of oil/gas from deep underground shale formations previously deemed uneconomical to exploit. Indeed, HF promises to be one of the key industries for future energy exploitation. However, the use of HF in unconventional oil/gas extraction has generated controversy, so that several countries have imposed mora...

There is ancient rock-art in most European countries and it is more common than cave art, with pictures and geometric shapes cut into rather than painted onto rock. This art exists in open-air surfaces exposed to the weather rather than inside caves. This wealth of Europe's cultural heritage is inaccessible, difficult to study but provides profound stories from our ancient past. Valcamonica, in th...

The objective of this ITN is to develop the next generation methods integrating numerical simulation and geometric design technology. Currently, geometric design and simulation is based on different geometry representation hampering the effective design of Engineering structures, materials and components. Isogeometric analysis developed recently tries to remove those drawbacks by integrating CAD s...

A review of the embodied energy values of the various building materials shows that the embodied energy of the most widely used insulation materials in construction applications is characterised by very high values. This mainly results either from the energy intensive conditions applied for the manufacturing of the mineral based insulation materials or from the high embodied energies of the oil-ba...

Web Information Quality Evaluation Initiative (WIQ-EI)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

Today’s information and data pools on the Web focus on the quantity of information rather than its quality; a fact observable through the increasing size of the blogosphere, the number of growing artificially created data, the well established copy & paste syndrome and the lack of semantically enriched data. The research underlying WIQ-EI’s knowledge transfer addresses information quality in terms...

Immersive Multi-View System for Co-located Collaboration (IMVIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Virtual environments hold the promise to provide a shared space in which such collaborative interactions of multiple users with virtual 3D models could occur as easily and smoothly as they would in the real world. Large projection-based stereoscopic displays are the most successful incarnation of such immersive virtual environments. These systems use a fixed view point or track the head position o...
