PanCare Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivor Care and Follow-up Studies (PanCareSurFup)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Over the last 40 years, treatment for childhood and adolescent cancer has improved greatly; 5- year survival after childhood cancer is now 80% in developed countries. Approximately 1 individual in 750 of young adults is now a childhood cancer survivor. Epidemiologic data on the number of European childhood cancer long-term survivors are not available, but estimates suggest a number between 300,000 ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes (U-BIOPRED)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
RationaleThe inability of pre-clinical studies to predict clinical efficacy is a major bottleneck in drug development. In severe asthma this bottleneck results from: a lack of useful and validated biomarkers, underperforming pre-clinical models, inadequate and incomplete sub-phenotyping, and insufficient disease understanding.HypothesisThe use of biomarker profiles comprised of various types of hi ...

Identification and therapeutic targeting of common arrhythmia trigger mechanisms (EUTRIGTREAT)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Arrhythmias are common manifestations of heart disease which frequently cause sudden cardiac death (SCD) or other devastating health problems. In Europe, prevention of SCD by device and drug therapy is expensive and increasingly strains public health resources due to a growing population at risk. However, identification of patients at increased risk for SCD is ineffective, and SCD prevention strat ...

Changes in carbon uptake and emissions by oceans in a changing climate (CARBOCHANGE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
CARBOCHANGE will provide the best possible process-based quantification of net ocean carbon uptake under changing climate conditions using past and present ocean carbon cycle changes for a better prediction of future ocean carbon uptake. We will improve the quantitative understanding of key biogeochemical and physical processes through a combination of observations and models. We will upscale new ...

Hyper Bus - Hybrid and plug-in extended range bus system (HYPER BUS)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2014,
Background
Growing concerns in Europe and worldwide over the security of energy supply, climate change and health are driving a shift from fossil fuels to alternative fuels, and are driving the development of new and more sustainable road vehicle propulsion systems. At present, urban traffic is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions and 70% of emissions of ...
