High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials (BioBuild)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

The aim of BioBuild is to use biocomposites to reduce the embodied energy in building facade, supporting structure and internal partition systems by at least 50% over current materials with no increase in cost. This will lead to a step change in the use of sustainable, low carbon construction materials, by replacing aluminium, steel, FRP, brick and concrete in buildings.Facades are widely used in ...

PRactical Implementation of Coexistence in Europe (PRICE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

"Coexistence is still a controversial topic within the EU. Member States, farmers, and participants within the food chain have expressed an interest on the implications of different coexistence polices on costs, feasibility of achieving segregated supply chains, as well as implications for labeling and traceability. While a number of issues have already been addressed in previous projects, informa ...

Highly efficient production of ultra-lightweight clay-aerogel materials and their integrated composites for building insulation (ICECLAY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

ERA-Net on Rare Diseases (E-Rare-2)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Rare diseases represent an important public-health issue, affecting 26-30 million persons across Europe, and a major challenge for research. The fragmentation of resources and knowledge for the 6000-8000 rare diseases and the lack of treatment for the majority of them necessitate a coordinated European approach to unravel the underlying molecular defects and pathophysiological mechanisms. The low ...

Training Requirements And Careers for Knowledge-based Food Science and Technology in Europe (TRACK_FAST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The food and drink industry is the single largest manufacturing sector in the EU and is mainly comprised by SMEs and microenterprises (99.1% of European food and drink businesses). The European food industry is in the lower part of the innovation performance ranking, and is losing relative importance in the global food market. This situation was a primary reason for the initiation of the ETP Food4 ...

Transferability of urban logistic concepts and practices from a world wide perspective (TURBLOG_WW)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"TURBLOG_WW is designed from a complementary perspective for the work that is being promoted at the EU level by addressing urban logistics from a wider (geographical) perspective, focusing upon a worldwide level (in general) and on Brazil and Peru (in particular). Our main goal is to extend, expand and transfer the existent knowledge to other countries and thus effectively contribute for the overa ...
