European Prevention of Alzheimer’s Dementia Consortium (EPAD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Background:The secondary prevention of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) is achievable if we can identify individuals at risk of disease progression defined by biomarker evidence of AD pathology and no or only minimal clinical symptoms and engage them in a standing adaptive clinical trial, of the highest quality, testing multiple interventions. To achieve this, EPAD will also provide the analytical infras ...

European Medical Information Framework (EMIF)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
In response to the need to tackle increasingly complex medical research questions, a growing amount of human health data is being collected, either in routine Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) databases, through research-driven cohort studies, in biobanks or related efforts. However, data sources are typically fragmented and contain information gaps which prevent their full exploitation. EMIF aim ...

Reduction of microalgae harvesting costs via the development of an ultrasound flow cell to provide pre-concentration (ALGAEMAX)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The worldwide production of microalgae is currently around 5,000 tons per year of dry algal biomass, and is used for livestock feed, fish meal, and high value extracts for dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Microalgae contain around 30% by weight of lipids/oil, and are regarded as a highly promising feedstock for biofuels, primarily biodiesel.Microalgae are comme ...

Next Generation Nano-engineered Thermoelectric Converters - from concept to industrial validation (NEXTEC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,
Global energy uncertainty and the limited recourses coupled with increased energy needs fuels the search for improving the efficiency of energy conversion technologies. Although the EU policies target increased use of renewable energy to 12% of gross energy production by 2010, this commitment has also highlighted the urgent need for improving the energy utilization of fossil-fuel based power-plant ...
