Wheat and barley Legacy for Breeding Improvement (WHEALBI)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
WHEALBI will combine genomics, genetics and agronomy to improve European wheat and barley production in competitive and sustainable cropping systems. Germplasm representing the species diversity will be selected and characterised in unprecedented detail by next-generation-sequencing. Life history and adaptive traits will be evaluated in both transnational field experiments and a state-of-the-art p ...

Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion (INGRID)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Referring to the increasingly challenging EU2020-ambition of Inclusive Growth, the objectives of the InGRID project are to integrate and to innovate existing, but distributed European social sciences research infrastructures on ‘poverty and living conditions’ and ‘working conditions and vulnerability’ by improving the transnational data access, organising mutual knowledge exchange and improving me ...

Transitioning towards Urban Resilience and Sustainability (TURAS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
The “TURaS” project aims to bring together urban communities, researchers, local authorities and SMEs to research, develop, demonstrate and disseminate transition strategies and scenarios to enable European cities and their rural interfaces to build vitally-needed resilience in the face of significant sustainability challenges. To ensure maximum impact, the TURaS project has developed an innovati ...

Quantify Life – Feed Yourself (QuaLiFY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Europeans have low compliance to dietary guidelines and recommendations, resulting in poor health and unhealthy ageing. Public health campaigns hardly improve this compliance. A new paradigm emerges of personal dietary advice based on personal preference, health status and assessment, and motivational goals. A number of FP6 and PF7 project have developed concepts, tools and infrastructures with a ...

Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential (ADAPTAWHEAT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
"ADAPTAWHEAT will show how flowering time variation can be exploited for the genetic improvement of the European wheat crop to optimise adaptation and performance in the light of predicted climate change. It will test current hypotheses that postulate specific changes in ear emergence and the timing and duration of developmental phases, which are thought of as components of ear emergence, will i ...

Development of Resource-efficient and Advanced underGrOund techNologies (DRAGON)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
Increased global competition, economic requirements in order to act budget-conscious as well as current (and future) environmental regulations have caused/will cause the need for new underground construction technologies in order to guarantee resource-efficiency within the tunnelling processes. The before mentioned situation also calls for a paradigm shift from only landfilling with excavation mat ...

Trans-national Infrastructure for Plant Genomic Science (transPLANT)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Food and energy security are major challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. The falling costs of nucleotide sequencing are opening up significant opportunities for crop improvement through plant breeding and increased understanding of plant biology; in particular through interpreting the growing volume of plant genomics data in the context of phenotype. However, at present, there is no a ...

Dissecting the Immunological Interplay between Poverty Related Diseases and Helminth Infections: An African-European Research Initiative (IDEA)
Date du début: 1 mars 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Worm infections are receiving increased attention due to: the wide geographic overlap in occurrence between worms and HIV, TB and malaria; the large proportion of individuals (minimal estimates around 25%) co-infected with worms and HIV/TB/ malaria; the potential risk of increasing disease burden; the very limited understanding of the impact by worm infections on HIV-, TB- and malaria-specific imm ...

AnThocyanin and polyphenol bioactives for Health Enhancement through Nutritional Advancement (ATHENA)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
Anthocyanins are health promoting dietary polyphenols that protect against cardiovascular disease, caner and obesity in preclinical studies with animals. The ATHENA project will address how good dietary anthocyanins are in protecting against chronic disease, by addressing the following questions: • Benefits and risks: What is the dose response to anthocyanin phytonutrients? Are anthocyanins from d ...

Genomics for Triticeae improvement (TriticeaeGenome)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
For many years the size and complexity of the wheat, barley and rye genomes have hampered the development of genomics and its application to produce Triticeae crops with improved composition and characteristics. Recently, however, new and more efficient scientific capabilities and resources have been developed that allows robust genomic programs to be established for the Triticeae. TriticeaeGenome ...

Autonomous maritime surveillance system (AMASS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
"The Autonomous Maritime Surveillance System (AMASS) will be for the observation and security of wide critical maritime areas in order to reduce actual and potential illegal immigration and the trafficking of drugs, weapons and illicit substances. The surveillance system will consist of autonomous, unmanned surveillance buoys with active and passive sensors, the key sensors being un-cooled thermal ...
