Life in a cold climate: the adaptation of cereals to new environments and the establishment of agriculture in Europe (ADAPT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
"This project explores the concept of agricultural spread as analogous to enforced climate change and asks how cereals adapted to new environments when agriculture was introduced into Europe. Archaeologists have long recognized that the ecological pressures placed on crops would have had an impact on the spread and subsequent development of agriculture, but previously there has been no means of di ...

Wheat and barley Legacy for Breeding Improvement (WHEALBI)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
WHEALBI will combine genomics, genetics and agronomy to improve European wheat and barley production in competitive and sustainable cropping systems. Germplasm representing the species diversity will be selected and characterised in unprecedented detail by next-generation-sequencing. Life history and adaptive traits will be evaluated in both transnational field experiments and a state-of-the-art p ...

Optimising plant polyphenols in LEGUMES for ruminant nutrition PLUS health PLUS environmental sustainability (LEGUMEPLUS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Europe must face the Grand Challenges of climate change and global warming, which will seriously affect the production of foods, including animal feeds. Tightening supplies of energy, foods and feeds will further impact on food security. Feeding animals in Europe with large quantities of imported soyabeans is not sustainable. ‘Home-grown’ protein sources, such as forage legumes, offer a valuable a ...

Automated Polishing for the European Tooling Industry (poliMATIC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,
poliMATIC - Automated polishing for the European Tooling IndustryFor the manufacturing of tools 12 to 15 % of the manufacturing costs and 30 to 50 % of the manufacturing time are allocated to polishing. As current automated polishing techniques are almost not applicable on parts with freeform surfaces and function relevant edges like 95% of the tools, the polishing is predominantly done manually.T ...
