Integration of European Simulation Chambers for Investigating Atmospheric Processes - Part 2 (EUROCHAMP-2)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
"The fundamental objective of the project is the further integration of existing European research facilities to a grid of reaction chambers in a continuation of the EUROCHAMP project. These facilities were created to study the impact of atmospheric processes e.g. on regional photochemistry, global change, as well as cultural heritage and human health effects under as realistic conditions as possi ...

ACTINET Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (ACTINET-I3)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2013,
"Actinides play a central role in the nuclear energy generation systems. In order to keep a leading position in the field of nuclear energy – both in terms of safety and efficient use of natural resources – Europe needs to reinforce its expertise and to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers who will be able to contribute to develop actinide management strategies based on sound sc ...

Infrafrontier The European infrastructure for phenotyping and archiving of model mammalian genomes (INFRAFRONTIER)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Medically related Life Sciences use the mouse as a model system to understand the molecular basis of health and disease in humans (>95% similarity of genes in humans and mice). An essential task for Biomedical Sciences in the 21st century will be the functional analysis of mouse models for every gene in the mammalian genome. The major bottlenecks identified by the user community will be proper ...

Servicing the European Biomedical Research Community: Archiving and Dissemination of Mouse Models of Human Disease (EMMAservice)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
The mouse shows great similarities in development, physiology and biochemistry to humans, which makes it a key model for research into human disease. The major challenges for mouse functional genomics in the 21st century are to:1) Develop a series of mutant alleles for every gene in the mouse genome2) Determine the phenotypic consequences of each mutation3) Identify mouse models for the complete d ...

Alternative Fuels and Biofuels for Aircraft Development (ALFA-BIRD)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
"ALFA-BIRD aims at developing the use of alternative fuels in aeronautics. In a context where the price of oil is increasing and with impact of fossil fuels on climate change, the sustainable growth of the civil aviation is conditioned by the respect of the environment. In this context, using biofuels and alternative fuels in aeronautics is a great challenge, since the operational constraints (e.g ...

Basic Research for Innovative Fuels Design for GEN IV systems (F-BRIDGE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,
Up to now fuel development and qualification has been a long and expensive process essentially based on an empirical approach. European experts currently have an adequate knowledge of conventional fuel manufacturing and its behaviour under operating conditions encountered during 50 years of industrial application and R&D activities. For innovative fuel systems, however, the empirical approach has ...

High Power Electric propulsion: a Roadmap for the future (HiPER)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2012,
The main objective of the HiPER project is to initiate technological and programmatic consolidation in the development of innovative electric propulsion technologies (and of the related power generation) to fulfill future European space transportation needs. The objective will be pursued by conceiving and substantiating a long term vision for European space transportation and exploration, conside ...

Green Advanced Space Propulsion (GRASP)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2011,
"Space activities and applications play an important role in strengthening the competitiveness of Europe by scientific progress in the knowledge-based society, and by providing strategic influence and security. Major successful space missions under European leadership have placed ESA and its Member States, the European science community at the forefront. To continue this path Europe must have inde ...

Nutritional ecology and seasonal colour polymorphism in a butterfly (Polycolor Nutrition)
Date du début: 8 juin 2009, Date de fin: 7 juin 2011,
Large colour ornaments such as bright plumage in birds or vivid wing coloration in butterflies are some of the most intriguing phenomena in the natural kingdom. However, the selective pressures and constraints involved in the evolution of these traits are in most cases poorly understood. Here we posit that evaluating the underlying nutritional demands of large colour patterns promises to provide n ...
