Low Emissions Core-Engine Technologies (LEMCOTEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The main objective of the LEMCOTEC project will be the improvement of core-engine thermal efficiency by increasing the overall pressure ratio (OPR) to up to 70 leading to a further reduction of CO2. Since NOx increases with OPR, combustion technologies have to be further developed, at the same time, to at least compensate for this effect. The project will attain and exceed the ACARE targets for 20 ...

Mobilité Picardie 2014

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

The Picardie region is one of the least favoured areas in France in terms of unemployment (with a rate of 12.6 %, third rank in France / 19.4 % among young people under 25, fourth rank in France). Our youth is known to be among the least ambitious in terms of education and career, while also greatly lacking mobility. The early school-leaving rate (the European goal for 2020 : 10 %) is among the hi ...

Coordination and Collaboration between reference collections of plant pests and diseases for EU Plant Health Policy (Q-COLLECT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

International trade is increasing tremendously in recent years with a lot of import and export material going in and out of the European Union. Within this context there is also the increasing risk of importing unwanted organisms via this trade. Organisms include plant pests and pathogens, some of which may be on the quarantine list of the European Union. Also climate change may increase the abili ...

Ionisation-based detector of airborne bio-agents, viruses and toxins for fast-alert and identification (Bio-Protect)

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

The malevolent use of Anthrax spores on civilians in late 2001 has shown the necessity to protect European citizens from criminal use of biological agents and viruses. Although these attacks had been punctual and crude, more sophisticated attacks on dozens or hundreds of injured or killed people are conceivable. When launching such an attack its success depends on concentrating a sufficient amount ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

Malaria Transmission Blocking by Vaccines, Drugs and Immune Mosquitoes: Efficacy Assessment and Targets (TRANSMALARIABLOC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2013,

Malaria is a complex disease, dependent on multiple host/parasite/vector interactions. This tripartite system offers numerous opportunities for disease-preventing interventions, but also creates robustness that undercuts ‘magic bullet’ expectations. Our interdisciplinary TransMalariaBloc will approach the challenge of malaria control in the field from this perspective. It utilizes the enormous rec ...
