Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

Synthetic biology – Engaging with New and Emerging Science and Technology in Responsible Governance of the Science and Society Relationship (SYN-ENERGENE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
Synthetic biology (SynBio) offers huge potential for applications in energy, health and the environment. It also brings with it various challenges such as regulatory issues of biosafety, biosecurity and intellectual property rights, as well as potential environmental and socio-economic risks in developing countries. As yet, however, there is scant public knowledge about the technology. It is thus ...

Power Optimised Ship for Environment with Electric Innovative Designs ON board (POSE²IDON)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"The electric ship concept offers many benefits; among other aspects if offers flexibility of control and effectiveness of power transmission. But predominantly it enables higher energy conversion efficiency by ensuring that prime movers are effectively loaded at all times and across all operating conditions. This dominating advantage cannot be matched by mechanical transmission systems because ge ...

Bacterial Abiotic Cellular Stress and Survival Improvement Network (BACSIN)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
BACSIN is a 16-member consortium with the main focus to improve rational exploitation of the catalytic properties of bacteria for the treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. Current application of bacteria in the environment is hindered by the lack of knowledge on the effects of stresses on cellular activity, most importantly abiotic stresses prevailing on site (e.g., desiccation or n ...
