Development and Epilepsy - Strategies for Innovative Research to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment in children with difficult to treat Epilepsy (DESIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

DESIRE will focus on epileptogenic developmental disorders EDD, i.e. early onset epilepsies whose origin is closely related to developmental brain processes. A major cause of EDD are malformations of cortical development (MCD), either macroscopic or subtle. EDD are often manifested as epileptic encephalopathies (EE), i.e. conditions in which epileptic activity itself may contribute to severe cogni ...

Enhancing prediction of tropical Atlantic climate and its impacts (PREFACE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Tropical Atlantic climate recently experienced pronounced shifts of great socio-economic importance. The oceanic changes were largest in the eastern boundary upwelling systems. African countries bordering the Atlantic strongly depend upon their ocean - societal development, fisheries, and tourism. They were strongly affected by these climatic changes and will face important adaptation challenges a ...

Zooming In between Plates: deciphering the nature of the plate interface in subduction zones (ZIP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Subduction zones play a fundamental role in our daily life. Half of the world population lives on top or nearby one of them, in coastal areas repeatedly devastated by large earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanic eruptions. Giant earthquakes occurring on subduction zone mega-thrusts (Mw close to 9 or larger) are indeed amongst the deadliest natural hazards. During the last decade, very large earthquake ...

Exploring Functional and Developmental Osteoclast Heterogeneity in Health and Disease (EUROCLAST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Euroclast proposes a research training program on osteoclast biology in the context of osteoclast-driven diseases. Osteoclasts are the complex, multinuclear cells responsible for bone breakdown. Many diseases of osteoclast malfunctioning manifest in bone loss, for example, osteoporosis, cancer-induced bone disease, periodontitis, or rheumatoid arthritis, all conditions set to increase in an ageing ...

Responses to coastal climate change: Innovative Strategies for high End Scenarios -Adaptation and Mitigation- (RISES-AM-)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"Coastal areas concentrate vulnerability to climate change due to high levels of population, economic activity and ecological values. Because of that RISES-AM- addresses the economy-wide impacts of coastal systems to various types of high-end climatic scenarios (including marine and riverine variables). It encompasses analyses from global to local scales across the full range of RCPs and SSPs. It ...

Enhanced plant productivity through control of lifespan (CROPLIFE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The world-wide demand for primary plant products to be used for food, feed and fuel is increasing dramatically. The foreseen climate changes are expected to have a negative impact on plant productivity in addition. Future agriculture urgently needs new crop plant varieties with enhanced and sustainable productivity. To meet this challenge, “CropLife” focuses on leaf lifespan as a major determinant ...

Transparency of Food Pricing (TRANSFOP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The overall objective of this project is to address the key aspects of the food chain both that determine the transmission of price changes from farm to consumer levels, emphasising the role of competition in the intermediate and retail stages of the food chain and the broader regulatory environment in which firms in food supply chains across the EU compete. Given that the characteristics of the ...
