Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Reproduction of European Eel: Towards a Self-sustained Aquaculture (PRO-EEL)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
The recent decline of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and no signs of recovery has brought attention to the biologically unsustainable exploitation of the stock. In September 2007, the EU has adopted the Council Regulation 1100/2007 establishing measures for the recovery of the European eel stock. However, eel are still fished intensively for human consumption while aquaculture and restocking rel ...

Ice2sea - estimating the future contribution of continental ice to sea-level rise (ice2sea)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
The melting of continental ice (glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets) is a substantial source of current sea-level rise, and one that is accelerating more rapidly than was predicted even a few years ago. Indeed, the most recent report from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlighted that the uncertainty in projections of future sea-level rise is dominated by uncertainty concerning continen ...

High efficiency consolidated bioprocess technology for lignocellulose ethanol (HYPE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"Lignocellulosic bioethanol has the potential of contributing to a sustainable and secure European energy supply for the transport sector. European research and industry is presently among the forerunners in developing lignocellulosic bioethanol. Although a number of technical breakthroughs have been achieved during the last decade, some key technical issues especially concerning the hydrolysis an ...

Methodology for fast and reliable Investigation and Characterization of Contaminated Sites (MICCS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,
"There is an increasing understanding that our natural resources should be kept unspoiled, which makes polluted soil and groundwater not acceptable. Therefore, a lot of resources are used for investigating contaminated sites, limiting the damage from pollution and cleaning polluted soil and groundwater. The site investigations are very costly and time consuming. They are normally based on traditio ...
