HiPERCAM: A high-speed camera for the study of rapid variability in the Universe (HiPERCAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
When stars die, they form white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. These are key objects in astrophysics as their extreme gravities, densities and pressures allow us to test our theories of fundamental physics at the limits of their predictive powers. One of the best ways of studying white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes is via their variations in brightness. Unfortunately, due to the sma ...

Initial Training Network for Wave Energy Research Professionals (WAVETRAIN 2)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"The proposed action builds strongly up on the logics of its predecessor with the same name. The overall objective is to create a pool of specialised wave energy research professionals to support an emerging industry in a field with a very strong anticipated growth and no dedicated existing training curriculum. Although most jobs can be done being a trained engineer in one of the adjacent fields, ...

Components for Ocean Renewable Energy Systems (CORES)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
"Wave Energy Convertors are at an early stage of development. First generation devices have been deployed at the shoreline and normally consist of Oscillating Water Column Systems. In order for these systems to progress towards full commercial realisation they must develop into suited to mass production. This project follows the successful FP6 funding round in which several fixed Oscillating Wate ...

Equitable Testing and Evaluation of Marine Energy Extraction Devices in terms of Performance, Cost and Environmental Impact (EquiMar)
Start date: Apr 15, 2008, End date: Apr 14, 2011,
EquiMar will deliver a suite of protocols for the equitable evaluation of marine energy converters (based on either tidal or wave energy). These protocols will harmonise testing and evaluation procedures across the wide variety of devices presently available with the aim of accelerating adoption though technology matching and improved understanding of the environmental and economic impacts associa ...
