PROtective composite Coatings via Electrodeposition and Thermal Spraying (PROCETS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
Wear and corrosion of materials causes losses of 3-4% of GDP in developed countries and billions of Euros are spent annually on capital replacement and control methods for wear and corrosion infrastructure. As a result many important industries are dependent on surface engineering of protective coatings, making it one of the main critical technologies underpinning the competitiveness of EU industr ...

Novel Self-cleaning, anti-bacterial coatings, preventing disease transmission on everyday touched surfaces (SELFCLEAN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Hygiene/antimicrobial issues in public places (hospitals, schools, hotels, public transportation etc) are of crucial importance as inattention could lead to spread of viral diseases or epidemics and consequently to deaths. A typical example is that of hospital acquired infections (HAI). According to The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in the EU, about 3,000,000 are infect ...

High Pressure Electronically controlled gas injection for marine two-stroke diesel engines (HELIOS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"The objective of HELIOS is to develop a marine low speed two-stroke gas Diesel engine research platform that is realistically sized for direct drive marine propulsion, and that has an emission footprint which compared to present Diesel engine technology is reduced as follows: CO2: 20-30%, NOx: 10-15%, SOx : 90-100%, PM: 60-70%. Since 99% of the world commercial fleet is powered by diesel engines, ...

Engineering a New Global Environment
Start date: Sep 16, 2010,
The challenge of engineering a sustainable economy that does no irreparable damage to the environment in the 21st century is clearly a global one. This proposed consortium seeks to educate the future engineers of the world in this vein by exposing them first hand to how engineering the environment is carried out in other parts of the world. In particular, we propose a partnership among universitie ...
