A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Animal Health and Welfare (ANIHWA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The activities of consumer groups and animal protectionists and the effects of large-scale sanitary crises have increased the awareness that animal production is more than just an industry. Farm animal welfare is now clearly an important issue for people across Europe and there is clear demand for higher animal welfare standards. Exotic or emerging infectious threats are ever present and their pot ...

Targeted research effort on African swine fever (ASFORCE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
"African Swine Fever (ASF) is a devastating disease affecting swine caused by a complex virus, the only member of the Asfarviridae family. Disease transmission is maintained under different and complex epidemiological scenarios involving domestic and wild swine and arthropod vectors (soft ticks Ornithodoros sp). Due to the fact that no vaccine has been obtained so far, prevention, control, and era ...

Establishment of Quality Assurances for the Detection of Biological Toxins of Potential Bioterrorism Risk (EQuATox)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The features of biological toxins like ricin, botulinum toxins, staphylococcal enterotoxins and saxitoxin place them at the interface of classical biological and chemical agents. They could be used for terrorist attacks on the basis of their availability, ease of preparation, the high toxicity and/or the lack of medical countermeasures. Some of the toxins are considered among the most relevant age ...

The Network of Animal Disease Infectiology Research Facilities (NADIR)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
"Europe possesses several experiment facilities holding the level 3 of bio safety, which is required to study the large majority of zoonoses, emerging diseases and a number of other animal infectious diseases. Most of them are nevertheless loosely connected, leading to redundancy. NAIF has as its strategic aim to realise the potential European leadership in animal infectiology by bringing together ...

European Surveillance Network for Influenza in Pigs 3 (ESNIP 3)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,
"This “European surveillance network for influenza in pigs (ESNIP) 3” will maintain and expand surveillance networks established during previous EC concerted actions (ESNIP 1, QLK2-CT-2000-01636; ESNIP 2, SSPE-022749). Three work packages (WP 2, 3, 4) aim to increase the knowledge of the epidemiology and evolution of swine influenza (SI) virus (SIV) in European pigs through organised field surveil ...

"Development, enhancement and complementation of animal-sparing, foot-and-mouth disease vaccine-based control strategies for free and endemic regions" (FMD-DISCONVAC)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the world’s most infectious diseases of livestock and continues to pose a significant threat to endemic and free regions alike. The impact of FMD on society and international trade is high, thereby demanding stringent prevention, surveillance and control plans taken up in crisis preparedness plans. On the other hand, there is a global increased demand for an ...

The EuroFIR Food Platform: Further integration, refinement and exploitation for its long-term self-sustainability (EuroFIR-Nexus)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
The objective is to further integrate/refine the EuroFIR Food Platform (EFP), to improve/support the ways research is undertaken into relationships between food, diets and health in Europe. Our focus is on extending application and exploitation of validated food data and tools for pan-European nutrition studies and networked usage, implementation of standards and best practice. This together forms ...

Coordination of national environment and health research programmes - Environment and health ERA-NET (ERA-ENVHEALTH)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
"It is estimated that around 20% of the burden of disease in industrialized countries can be attributed to environmental factors, and the magnitude of the problem is perceived by the majority of Europeans. The assessment of health impacts is based mostly on scarce exposure data and limited information on the relationship between exposure and health. There is, therefore, a need to strengthen resear ...
