Proton Ionization Molecular Mass Spectrometry (PIMMS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,
"The need for quantitative and fast identification of trace gaseous compounds in complex chemical matrices continuously pushes the limits of analytical chemistry in many areas of relevance to the EU, including food, health, the environment, and security. A relatively new broad-based and rapidly growing analytical technique, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), combines excellent c ...

Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe (EDENext)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
To address the call for proposals 'Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe' launched by the European Commission, we want to investigate the biological, ecological and epidemiological components of vector-borne diseases (VBD) introduction, emergence and spread, and to propose innovative tools for controlling them, building on the basis of acquired knowledge. We have selected the ma ...

Pesticide Use-and-risk Reduction in European farming systems with Integrated Pest Management (PURE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
"To meet both the worldwide demand for food security and new environmental needs, agriculture must increase food production and quality while decreasing its ecological footprint. Ensuring sustainability and competitiveness with reduced pesticide inputs is a major challenge.PURE will provide integrated pest management (IPM) solutions and a practical toolbox for their implementation in key European ...

European West Nile collaborative research project (EuroWestNile)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most evident examples of emerging/re-emerging pathogens one can nominate, which is characterized by occasional virulent epizootic outbreaks. Despite intensive research done since its first appearance in the Americas in 1999, many aspects of its molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis and life cycle are still poorly understood. Being a generalist p ...

Greenhouse gas management in European land use systems (GHG Europe)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The GHG-Europe project aims to improve our understanding and capacity for predicting the European terrestrial carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) budget by applying a systematic, comprehensive and integrative approach. GHG-Europe quantifies the annual to decadal variability of the carbon and GHG budgets of terrestrial ecosystems in EU27 plus Switzerland and in six data-rich European regions via data-m ...

Conservation Genetic Resources for Effective Species Survival (CONGRESS)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
Genetic biodiversity is recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EC Biodiversity Strategy as one of three essential elements of living diversity, yet it is poorly represented at the policy level, compared to the two other components, species and ecosystems. The CONGRESS consortium aims to rectify this situation by delivering dissemination tools which policy makers and conservat ...
