LInking farmland Biodiversity to Ecosystem seRvices for effective ecofunctional intensificATION (LIBERATION)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
The next few decades will witness a rapidly increasing demand for agricultural products. This growing demand needs to be met largely through intensification (produce more from the same land surface) because there is little scope for an increase in agricultural area. Eco-functional intensification has been proposed as a promising solution. Eco-functional intensification is the optimization of all p ...

A Portable bihormonal Closed Loop for Diabetes (PCDIAB)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
... a breakthrough in diabetes management. We will miniaturize our current prototype consisting of well-established continuous glucose monitors, an insulin pump and a glucagonpump. The housing will be redesigned with dedicated miniature motors and the software will be embedded. The algorithm will be improved and a continuous glucose sensor (CGM) per-formance alert will be developed. In parallel, glu ...

Choosing Efficient Combinations of Policy Instruments for Low-carbon development and Innovation to Achieve Europe's 2050 climate targets (CECILIA2050)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
Europe needs to transform itself to a low-carbon economy by mid-century. The existing instrument mix needs to be scaled up drastically to initiate the changes needed across the economy. As the scale and scope of instruments increases, their interaction becomes more important, as do constraints on the political, legal and administrative feasibility. To evaluate their efficiency and effectiveness, i ...

Status and Trends of European Pollinators (STEP)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
Pollinators form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide vital ecosystem services to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying upon them. STEP will document the nature and extent of these declines, examine functional traits associated with particular risk, develop a Red List of some ...

Engineered Nanoparticle Impact on Aquatic Environments: Structure, Activity and Toxicology (ENNSATOX)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
The use of engineered nanoparticles in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, sensors and many other commercial applications has been growing exponentially over the past decade. EU and Member State’s research into the environmental impact of these materials, particularly in aquatic systems, is at an early stage. ENNSATOX addresses this deficit through a, comprehensive investigation relating the structure and ...

Tyre Recycling for Environmental Advantage (TREAD)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2005, Date de fin: 1 juil. 2007,
...herefore poses an important logistical, technical and environmental challenge.
Objectives
The TREAD LIFE project aimed to demonstrate how a technology called âultra high-pressure water blastingâ (UHP) can be used to convert waste tyres into their component materials. Previous feasibility studies had showed UHPâs po ...
