REsearch into POlicy to enhance Physical Activity (REPOPA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

In line with the Call’s overall objective, the basic concept of the proposal is to integrate scientific research knowledge (=evidence), expert know-how and the real world policy making processes to increase synergy and sustainability in promoting health and preventing disease among Europeans. The REsearch into POlicy in Physical Activity (REPOPA) consortium will take up this challenge and will bri ...

Risk of brain cancer from exposure to radiofrequency fields in childhood and adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use in adolescents and, more recently, children has generated considerable interest in the possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields. The current project aims to assess the potential carcinogenic effects of childhood and adolescent exposure to RF and ELF from mobile telephones on tumours of the central nervous system. The study ...

Tailored implementation for chronic diseases (TICD)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Project aim. Chronic diseases represent an important challenge facing healthcare systems. Research has consistently shown gaps between knowledge and practice for chronic illness care. Tailoring implementation interventions implies that the choice and content of implementation interventions are based on assessment of local barriers and enabling factors. It is widely believed that tailoring contribu ...

The COMET (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials) Initiative (COMET)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Clinical trialists often struggle when trying to choose the outcomes to measure which would be of most use to the patients, practitioners and policy makers who will use their research to help them make decisions. These difficulties are passed on to those producing and reading systematic reviews, many of whom have experienced the frustration of finding that the original researchers either did not ...

Climate change - Learning from the past climate (Past4Future)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Past4Future will combine multidisciplinary paleoclimate records from ice cores, marine cores, speleothems, pollen and other records, concentrating on a global distribution of the records, to reconstruct climate change and variability during the present interglacial (the Holocene) and the last interglacial (known as the Eemian in northwestern Europe and as marine isotope stage 5e in the marine sedi ...

Development of postcombustion CO2 capture with CaO in a large testing facility: “CaOling” (CaOling)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

This project is aiming at the scaling-up of one of the most promising concepts for CO2 capture from coal power plants: postcombustion carbonate looping systems. This project focuses on the experimental pilot testing and scaling up of the process at scales in the 1 MW range. The 1 Mw carbonate looping pilot will be built in the Hunosa 50 Mwe CFB coal power plant of “La Pereda”, using a side stream ...
