Early Prevention of Diabetes Complications in people with Hyperglycaemia in Europe (E-PREDICE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia.Aims: To ass ...

Logistics for Energy Crops' Biomass (LOGISTEC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
Cost-efficient, environmental-friendly and socially sustainable biomass supply chains are urgently needed to achieve the 2020 targets of the Strategic Energy Technologies-Plan of the European Union, which are likely to be impeded by the potential scarcity of lignocellulosic biomass from agriculture. Innovative techniques for crop management, biomass harvesting and pre-treatment, storage and transp ...

Climate change - Learning from the past climate (Past4Future)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Past4Future will combine multidisciplinary paleoclimate records from ice cores, marine cores, speleothems, pollen and other records, concentrating on a global distribution of the records, to reconstruct climate change and variability during the present interglacial (the Holocene) and the last interglacial (known as the Eemian in northwestern Europe and as marine isotope stage 5e in the marine sedi ...

Living with landslide risk in Europe: Assessment, effects of global change, and risk management strategies (SAFELAND)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
SafeLand will develop generic quantitative risk assessment and management tools and strategies for landslides at local, regional, European and societal scales and establish the baseline for the risk associated with landslides in Europe, to improve our ability to forecast landslide hazard and detect hazard and risk zones. The scientific work packages in SafeLand are organised in five Areas: Area 1 ...

An ambulatory BCI-driven tremor suppression system based on functional electrical stimulation (TREMOR)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
Tremor is the most common movement disorder and it is strongly increasing in incidence and prevalence with ageing. More than 65% of the population with upper limb tremor presents serious difficulties in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Tremor is not life-threatening, but it can be responsible for functional disability and social inconvenience. It is typically managed by means of drugs, ...
