Mechanistic Effect Models for the Ecological Risk Assessment of Chemicals (CREAM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

There is widespread concern about how production and use of chemicals affect the environment. Yet food production and benefits of chemical products are vital for the functioning of European societies. In order to ensure sustainable use, EU regulations require extensive risk assessment before a chemical is approved for use. Current risk assessments focus on risk at the level of individual organisms ...

GRaphenE for NAnoscaleD Applications (GRENADA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The semiconductor industry has been able to improve the performance of electronic system by making ever-smaller devices. However, this approach will soon encounter both scientific and technical limits, which is why the industry is exploring alternative device technologies. Carbon-based nano-electronic is currently investigated. Discovered recently, the graphene is rapidly raising star on the horiz ...

Surfaces for molecular recognition at the atomic level (SMALL)

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

"The overarching aim of the SMALL ITN project is to train Early Stage Researchers in the field of ‘molecular recognition at surfaces’ from fundamental science to novel applications. For this task, SMALL combines European experts from surface science, nanotechnology, theory, chemical synthesis, physics, biology and industry, and thus takes a highly integrated approach to the training. The researche ...

Targeted delivery of dietary flavanols for optimal human cell function: Effect on cardiovascular health (FLAVIOLA)

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

Nutrition, i.e. our daily diet, is a major life style factor, greatly impacting on human health and disease. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets rich in plant-based foods and beverages decrease the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Various phytochemical constituents, in particular a class of compounds called flavanols, have been avidly investigated in recent years. Current ...

Next-Generation PEM Electrolyser for Sustainable Hydrogen Production (NEXPEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The main objective of the NEXPEL project, a successful demonstration of an efficient PEM electrolyser integrated with Renewable Energy Sources, supports the overall vision to establish hydrogen as an energy carrier in a large range of applications in the near future. The very ambitious objectives in the call will be addressed by a top class European consortium which is carefully balanced between ...

Actinide reCycling by SEParation and Transmutation (ACSEPT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"Actinide recycling by separation and transmutation is considered worldwide and particularly in several European countries as one of the most promising strategies to reduce the inventory of radioactive waste, thus contributing to make nuclear energy sustainable. Consistently with potentially viable recycling strategies, the Collaborative Project ACSEPT will provide a structured R&D framework to de ...

Development of carbohydrate array technology to systematically explore the functional role of glycans in healthy and diseased states (EuroGlycoArrays)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

The development and production of glycoarrays will provide the foreground knowledge necessary to lead to a step change in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases ranging from cancers to autoimmune diseases. Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in the molecular interactions that govern biological events at the centre of health and disease. This has become more evident as the characterisation and ident ...

Extended Large (3D) Integration TEchnology (ELITE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Description 3-D integration in high performance digital systems For developing complex next-generation chips which include a combination of disparate technologies, the circuit integration exclusively in two dimensions has proved to be a seriously limiting factor. Utilising the third dimension for ...
