Micro and Nanoscale Design of Thermally Actuating Systems (MIDAS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

Actuating smart systems rely on the distinct class of functional materials able to actuate in a specific field. The highest thermally controlled actuation is provided by shape memory alloys, the class of materials relying on the thermoelastic martensitic phase transformation. Such materials are not only a solution for ecological and durable development but also a continuous subject of research and ...

Despite improved understanding of the links between ecosystem health, provision of ecosystem services and human well-being, further conceptual and empirical work is needed to make the ideas of ecosystem services (ESS) and natural capital (NC) operational. OpenNESS will therefore develop innovative and practical ways of applying them in land, water and urban management: it will identify how, where ...

Self-Assembly in Confined Space (SACS)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

Supramolecular chemistry studies chemistry beyond individual molecules, where molecules or macromolecules form larger entities by spontaneous self-assembly or by self-organisation. The resulting supramolecular architectures are held together by covalent bonds and a variety of non-covalent intermolecular interactions (hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic interactions etc). Spatially, t ...

NETwork for GREEN growth Indicators (NETGREEN)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,

Policy-makers aiming to accelerate the shift to a green economy have to balance different objectives that, in practice, might contradict or reinforce each other. A good knowledge of these different aspects as well as their interrelations is therefore crucial for developing and implementing effective policies for the transition to a green economy.Many international organisations, research instituti ...

MARine Litter in Europe Seas: Social AwarenesS and CO-Responsability (MARLISCO)

Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

Marine environments are central to human well being, but they are also extensively threatened by our activities. The MARLISCO proposal seeks to raise societal awareness of both the problems and the potential solutions relating to a key issue threatening marine habitats worldwide; the accumulation of marine litter. A major objective of this proposal is to understand and subsequently facilitate soci ...

The socio-economic activities due to world development are promoting increasing pressures on land, creating competition and conflicts, resulting in suboptimal use of resources. Integrated planning and management of land resources is a top subject of Agenda 21 (managed by FAO), which deals with the cross-sectoral aspects of decision-making for the sustainable use and development of natural resource ...

Chemotherapy is the standard care for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients, however most of non-small cell lung cancer tumours are not sensitive to this treatment. As an alternative to chemoterapy, target therapy with gefitinib (epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) has been used in clinical practice in patients with tumours harbouring mutations in ...

Our capacity to effectively sustain biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales is an essential component of European environmental sustainability. Anthropogenic and environmental pressures on biodiversity act differently at different scales. Consequently, effective conservation responses to these threats must explicitly consider the scale at which effects occur, and therefore it is crucial th ...

"RESPONDER aims to develop, implement and evaluate a knowledge brokerage system on managing the contradictions of sustainable consumption and economic growth. Therefore the project will not just bridge the gap between science and policy, but will also improve the mutual understanding between what could be called the “pro-growth community” (i.e. economists and policy makers oriented towards the EU ...

Initial training network on biocorrosion (BIOCOR ITN)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2013,

"Any material in contact with water or moisture during its life-cycle is rapidly colonised by microbial species which can be the source of severe deterioration processes, such as microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), also called biocorrosion. The annual direct and derived costs of corrosion are estimated to be around 4% of the GNP of developed countries, of which 10-20% are related to biocorrosi ...
