Enhanced sensitivity Nanotechnology-based Multiplexed Bioassay Platform for diagnostic applications (NANO-MUBIOP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Currently, there is strong interest in the development of new bioassay techniques for gene identification, gene mapping, DNA sequencing and medical diagnostics. There are three main families of methods: Polymerase Chain Reaction, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay and nano-particles agglutination techniques. All these methods suffer from several disadvantages as they are time-consuming and expensiv ...

Investigation of Si wafer damage in manufacturing processes (SIDAM)

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

Wafer handling in semiconductor manufacturing introduces microcracks at the wafer edge. During thermal processing, some of these grow into slip bands; on rapid thermal processing some of these grow into cracks, shattering the wafer and disrupting manufacture. Dense slip bands also lead to yield loss by locally increasing diffusion rates. Breakage losses alone were of the order of €2.5M p.a. for a ...

Nanobiosensors for Health Monitoring (NANHEMO)

Start date: Aug 25, 2008, End date: Aug 24, 2010,

"The drive to understand biology and medicine at the molecular level with accurate quantitation demands much of current high-throughput analysis systems. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology combined with modern instrumentation have the potential to address this emerging challenge. Using a variety of nanomaterials for multiplex diagnostics and imaging applications will offer sensitive, rapid and cost- ...

Audio Visual Science Audiences (AVSA). A comparative study (AVSA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,

It is proposed to analyse use and gratifications concerning science programmes in Europe comparatively by using already existing data of a collection of European Countries. Additionally focus group discussion are proposed to clarify which factors lead recipients in their judgements concerning different types of science programmes. Such a comparative analysis is only possible by ordering systematic ...

Regional Economic Development by ICT/New media clusters (REDICT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2009,

This proposal brings together 6 regions and clusters (17 partners), which share a strong R&D presence in the field of ICT and New media and the sense that this position has to be exploited for maximal economic and social benefit. They see that the factors that influence the transfer of knowledge to SME’s are complex and often badly understood and want to exchange experiences and best practices to ...
