Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population. However, faster growth has been seen in the revision market, where prosthetic joints are replaced, than in primary interventions. The major cause of these revisions is that all joint replacements are prone to wear leading to loss of implant fu ...

Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastaL regions (PEARL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Coastal floods are one of the most dangerous and harmful natural hazards affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanisation combined with climate change and poor governance means a significant increase in the risk of local surface flooding coinciding with high water levels in rivers and high tide or storm surges from the sea, posing a greater risk of devastation to coastal communiti ...

Joint Operation for Ultra Low Emission Shipping (JOULES)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,
Reducing emissions from shipping has increasingly become a challenge over the last years, both as a counter measure against global climate change and to protect local environments and population from waste, gas emissions and noise.This challenge has been documented both in policy papers, like the Europe 2020 initiative or the Transport White Paper, and in rules and regulations issued by IMO as wel ...

Dynamic Risk Approaches for Automated Cyber Defence (PANOPTESEC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The PANOPTESEC consortium will deliver a beyond-state-of-the-art prototype of a cyber defence decision support system, demonstrating a risk based approach to automated cyber defence that accounts for the dynamic nature of information and communications technologies (ICT) and the constantly evolving capabilities of cyber attackers. "Panoptes" is an ancient Greek term meaning 'all eyes' or 'all see ...

Developing Smart Technologies for Productivity Improvement of European Small and Medium Sized Shipyards (SMARTYARDS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The SMARTYards project aims to improve the productivity of European small and medium sized shipyards and related subcontractors working with them by at least 20%. This will be achieved by improving knowledge and technological skills, needed to survive in a tough global competition and to provide innovative products. This is particularly important as the technology gap between larger and smaller E ...
