Innovative Wind Conversion Systems (10-20MW) for Offshore Applications (INNWIND.EU)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The overall objectives of the INNWIND.EU project are the high performance innovative design of a beyond-state-of-the-art 10-20MW offshore wind turbine and hardware demonstrators of some of the critical components. These ambitious primary objectives lead to a set of secondary objectives, which are the specific innovations, new concepts, new technologies and proof of concepts at the sub system and t ...

3to4: Converting C3 to C4 photosynthesis for sustainable agriculture (3TO4)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Most plants use the C3 pathway of photosynthesis that is compromised by gross inefficiencies in CO2 fixation. However, some plants use a super-charged photosynthetic mechanism called C4 photosynthesis. The C4 pathway is used by the most productive vegetation and crops on Earth. In addition to faster photosynthesis, C4 plants demand less water and less nitrogen. Overall, our aim is to introduce the ...

Cavity Enhanced Microarray as an Ultra-sensitive Tool to aid Sepsis Diagnosis (CE-MICROARRAY)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by the body’s overreaction to an infection and can be triggered either directly by infection or may occur after medical treatment or surgery.The mortality rate in patients admitted to hospital with severe sepsis is 28-50% and it remains the most prevalent cause of death in non-coronary Intensive Care Units (ICUs ). It is estimated that in the US ~$17 bil ...

Pesticide Use-and-risk Reduction in European farming systems with Integrated Pest Management (PURE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
"To meet both the worldwide demand for food security and new environmental needs, agriculture must increase food production and quality while decreasing its ecological footprint. Ensuring sustainability and competitiveness with reduced pesticide inputs is a major challenge.PURE will provide integrated pest management (IPM) solutions and a practical toolbox for their implementation in key European ...

Design of a pan-European Infrastructure for Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification, Neutrino Astrophysics and Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillations (LAGUNA-LBNO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
Key questions in physics can be answered only by constructing a giant underground observatory to search for rare events and study terrestrial and astrophysical neutrinos. The Astroparticle Roadmap of ApPEC/ASPERA strongly supports this, recommending that: “a new large European infrastructure of 100'000-500'000 ton for proton decay and low-energy neutrinos be evaluated as a common design study tog ...

INtegrated European Signalling System (INESS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
"Due to the seamless guidance by rails, the railway system requires a dedicated signalling sub-system, whereby a major part of the functionality must be ensured and controlled on the infrastructure side. From a European perspective, the traditional signalling is one of the most conservative parts of the railway system strongly bound to the national traditions by all involved parties.Since 1990 the ...
