Solutions and Processes to Enhance the Competitiveness of Transport by Rail in Unexploited Markets (SPECTRUM)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Modern manufacturing techniques and logistics require reliable, time sensitive delivery of lower density and higher value goods. This presents a market opportunity for rail freight to grow, partly due to increasing congestion on roads, and mainly due to the need for reliable and environment friendly transport of goods. At the same time, to meet customer requirements, rail freight has to rise to th ...

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE IN VITRO/IN SILICO SCREENING SYSTEM TO PREDICT HUMAN- AND ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS (CHEMSCREEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The current system of risk assessment of chemicals is complex, very resource-intensive and extremely time-consuming. Because of this, there is a great need to modernize this process. However, this is not feasible without alternative, integrated testing strategies in which chemical characteristics are used to more advantage and where costly and time consuming animal tests are replaced to a large ex ...

A specific support action to investigate the risk benefit analysis for foods (BRAFO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2007, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The aim is to develop a framework that allows quantitative comparison of human health risks and benefits of foods and food compounds based on a common scale of measurement. This will be based on the evaluation of changes in the quality/duration of life using a system that allows weighting of data quality and severity of effect, with quantification by QALY or DALY-like methodology. The framework wi ...
