Imaging the Event Horizon of Black Holes (BLACKHOLECAM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Gravity is successfully described by Einstein’s theory of general relativity (GR), governing the structure of our entire universe. Yet it remains the least understood of all forces in nature, resisting unification with quantum physics. One of the most fundamental predictions of GR are black holes (BHs). Their defining feature is the event horizon, the surface that light cannot escape and where tim ...

Novel CPV system fit for mass production, for electricity costs beyond grid parity and for applications in B2B, industrial and residential areas (CPV4ALL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

CPV4ALL propose an innovative solution for concentration-based photovoltaic electricity beyond grid parity kWh prices and is oriented on short term results. CPV4ALL aims towards large scale replication in 2015 so that the demonstrated technologies will quickly lead to market deployment and thus significantly contribute to the EU energy and climate change policy (20-20-20 targets by 2020).CPV4ALL f ...

SUPramolEculaR functional nanoscale archItectures for Organic electronics: a host-driven network (SUPERIOR)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

SUPERIOR aims at providing top-quality cross-disciplinary and supra-sectoral training to a pool of promising young researchers, in an area at the interface between Supramolecular Chemistry, Materials- and Nano-Science, Physics and Electrical Engineering. SUPERIOR appointees will be formally trained in lecture courses, dedicated schools and workshops, and through an ambitious and carefully planned ...

Developing quarantine pest detection methods for use by national plant protection organizations (NPPO) and inspection services (QDetect)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Detection methods are the first tools used by national plant protection organisations (NPPO) and inspection services in order to find incursions of quarantine plant pathogens or pests (Q-pests) across a border, a crucial step to implement Council Directive 2000/29/EC. This is often done visually in the first instance, with support from a laboratory for confirmatory testing and subsequent monitorin ...
