The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Ships oriented Innovative soLutions to rEduce Noise & Vibrations (SILENV)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"Transports are well known to be major contributors to noise pollution. Noise and vibrations (N&V) abatement naturally appears as an important objective for in the greening of surface transports.The SILENV project is a response to this requirement for the maritime domain.The consequences of N&V emissions from the ships are multiple. N&V emissions constitute a disturbance for both passengers and ha ...

Array of Robots Augmenting the KiNematics of Endoluminal Surgery (ARAKNES)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

ARAKNES stems from the innovative idea to transfer the technologies of bi-manual laparoscopic surgery to the endoluminal surgical approach, thus further reducing the operative trauma and enhancing the therapeutic outcome of minimally invasive surgical procedures for morbid obesity and gastro-esophageal reflux. The worldwide number of bypass surgeries for obesity is predicted to rise up to 1.3 mill ...

Reducing drag over wings (REDWING)

Start date: May 23, 2011, End date: Mar 22, 2012,

"A great challenge in both fundamental and applied fluid mechanics research is to reduce friction drag on bodies immersed in a fluid. Even small amounts of drag reduction on airplanes, ships, cars, wind- and water-power plants could save several billions Euros annually and help preserve earth’s resources. The present project combines recent developments in numerical simulations of fluid flows, nov ...
