RD-CONNECT: An integrated platform connecting registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research (RD-CONNECT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
Despite examples of excellent practice, rare disease (RD) research is still mainly fragmented by data and disease types. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection between detailed clinical and genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Con ...

Multipurpose hemp for industrial bioproducts and biomass (MULTIHEMP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Hemp is a sustainable high yielding crop well adapted to most European conditions, with advantageous environmental and agronomical characteristics. Traditionally cultivated for the fibres, seeds and psychoactive substances, it is now considered an ideal crop to produce innovative biomaterials. Once a key industrial crop for fibre, hemp production declined in the last century and was displaced by c ...

Aligned Natural Fibres and Textiles for Use in Structural Composite Applications (NATEX)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
Biocomposites manufactured from natural materials such as fibres and bioderived polymers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional ones, but at present they are not available for use in structural applications. NATEX will develop aligned textiles from natural fibres suitable for use as high strength reinforcing fabrics to produce structural composite parts using bio and oil based thermoplasti ...
