CAtastrophic Shifts in drylands: how CAn we prevent ecosystem DEgradation? (CASCADE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
The aim of CASCADE is to obtain a better understanding of sudden ecosystem shifts that may lead to major losses in biodiversity and ecosystem services, and to define measures that can be used to prevent such shifts. The focus of CASCADE is explicitly on drylands as being one of the most fragile and threatened ecosystems in Europe. CASCADE will investigate the historical evolution of dryland ecosys ...

Science for Society Solutions (S4S): Bringing Translational Science for Drylands Earth and Environmental Sciences into the Mainstream (S4S)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,
"The larger goal of the S4S project is both ambitious and significant: make science more relevant and responsive to society. Despite significant advances in the drylands Earth and environmental sciences, successful application of research findings remains less than ideal. Whether it’s moving research to practice or educating the public on the environmental challenges of our time, our track record ...

Microwave, Ultrasonic and Plasma assisted Syntheses (MAPSYN)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
The proposed project, MAPSYN, aims to bring selected innovative energy efficient chemical reaction processes, assisted with novel microwave, ultrasonic and plasma systems, up to the manufacturing scale. A pragmatic approach of using these selected alternative energy sources for end user selected reactions, will be individually studied for both microreactor and flow reactor systems (i.e. continuous ...

High-frequency ELectro-Magnetic technologies for advanced processing of ceramic matrix composites and graphite expansion (HELM)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
"Lightweight ceramics and fibre reinforced ceramic composites, such as non-oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) and Expanded Graphite (EG), represent very promising solutions for high temperature applications in strategic industrial sectors, such as transport and energy. In fact, these materials are one of topical priorities of the European Technology Platform EuMAT and a strategic issue of the ...

Innovative eco-friendly activated carbon filters for harmful vapors & gases VOC purification (CARVOC)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
CARVOC wants to solve the social, environmental and economic problem that represents the emission of VOC/TIC to the atmosphere through the development of innovative activated carbon filters (ACF) based on activated carbons (AC) produced from natural wastes, capable of adsorbing VOC/TIC emitted by highly pollutant industries or that may be released in industrial accidents or in terrorist attacks.Th ...

Advanced Video Surveillance archives search Engine for security applications (ADVISE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
ADVISE aims to design and develop a unification framework for surveillance-footage archive systems, in an effort to deal with the increasingly critical need to provide automated and smart surveillance solutions.This need arises due to the continuous growth of surveillance systems in scale, heterogeneity and utility. There are two major obstacles: the variety on the technical components of the surv ...

Long-Run Economic Perspectives of an Ageing Society (LEPAS)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
"This project integrates into modern dynamic macroeconomics a biologically founded process of individual ageing, i.e. ageing understood as the gradual deterioration of the functioning of body and mind. The EU member countries will be increasingly populated by older people. Our project investigates theoretically and quantitatively how ageing affects their health and productivity. Using models of en ...

Assessing the causes and developing measures to prevent the escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture (Prevent Escape)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
The escape of fish from sea-cage aquaculture is perceived as a serious threat to natural biodiversity in Europe's marine waters. Escaped fish may cause undesirable genetic effects in native populations through interbreeding, and ecological effects through predation, competition and the transfer of diseases to wild fish. Technical and operational failures of fish farming technology cause escapes. C ...
