Neuropathic pain: biomarkers and druggable targets within the endogenous analgesia system (NEUROPAIN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

...es. We will overcome these obstacles by an interdisciplinary collaboration between basic science groups, clinicians and leading private companies. This consortium will validate new animal models to evaluate the electrophysiological, behavioural, emotional and cognitive manifestations of neuropathic pain and the effectiveness of novel compounds. The use of these models in combination with other beh ...

Novel Methods leading to New Medications in Depression and Schizophrenia (NEWMEDS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Despite dramatic advances in molecular and imaging technologies and nearly 1 5,000 articles on schizophrenia and depression (S&D) there are few novel treatments. We think this is because of three major “bottle-necks”: a lack of etiologically-driven or pathophysiologically-accurate animal models; a lack of tests that provide indication of efficacy in healthy volunteers; and the reliance of clinical ...

brEaking New Ground IN the sciencE Education Realm (ENGINEER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

... It will be based on the proven “Engineering is Elementary” (EiE) program developed by Boston’s Museum of Science (BMOS) since 2003-04 and now widely used in primary schools throughout the U.S. Evaluations of EiE have found that incorporating engineering in science teaching, using inquiry-based pedagogic methods, results in highly desirable impacts on students and teachers, raising students’ inter ...

...mples collected prior to disease diagnosis, exposure and followup health information. Biomarkers will be compared in 600 breast cancer cases, 300 NHL cases and equal numbers of matched controls, to evaluate their risk predictivity. Biomarkers of chronic diseases which establish themselves in early childhood but persist into adult life will be evaluated using a mother-child cohort. Biosamples colle ...

Towards Women In Science and Technology (TWIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The gender dimension of research implicates that the share of women in research is extremely low in all European countries and associated countries. Throughout Europe there is a fear that interest in science and technology is declining, at the same time as demands for science and technology graduates grows. The TWIST project will address this challenge with an ambitious programme of coordinated ac ...

CBRNE related testing and certification facilities - A networking strategy to strengthen cooperation and knowledge exchange within Europe (CREATIF)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

...ussed. Proceedings will be compiled to distribute the outcome of discussions and present information to a wide audience. CREATIF will ensure a careful examination of existing testing protocols and relevant standards to suggest harmonization of testing in the field of CBRNE detection both on a geographic scale within EU-27 and on a technical level. This will allow quality assurance and comparabilit ...

"Action on Climate Change through Engagement, Networks and Tools" (ACCENT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

"Fifteen relevant organisations among science centres, science museums and aquariums will be engaged by this proposal ACCENT in a coordination action aimed at rationalising their two-way communication practices and at strengthening their collaborations with the scientific community on climate change issues. Climate change issues are clearly a growing concern for the public today. In recent years, ...
