Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe (EDENext)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
To address the call for proposals 'Biology and control of vector-borne infections in Europe' launched by the European Commission, we want to investigate the biological, ecological and epidemiological components of vector-borne diseases (VBD) introduction, emergence and spread, and to propose innovative tools for controlling them, building on the basis of acquired knowledge. We have selected the ma ...

Evolution of sensory organ morphology: genetic analysis of eye size evolution in Drosophila (ESED)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Living organisms exhibit great variation in size and shape, and display many morphological innovations. Recent progress has been made in identifying the genetic basis for the evolution of some traits but there remains a paucity of knowledge concerning the evolution of complex morphological traits, and how the underlying changes arose and spread in populations. This proposal will address this by e ...

European West Nile collaborative research project (EuroWestNile)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
West Nile virus (WNV) is one of the most evident examples of emerging/re-emerging pathogens one can nominate, which is characterized by occasional virulent epizootic outbreaks. Despite intensive research done since its first appearance in the Americas in 1999, many aspects of its molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis and life cycle are still poorly understood. Being a generalist p ...

PLANT food supplements: Levels of Intake, Benefit and Risk Assessment (PlantLIBRA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,
Plant food supplements, or botanicals, have high acceptance by European consumers. Potentially, they can deliver significant health benefits, safely, and at relatively low costs. New regulations and EFSA guidance are also now in. However, concerns about safety, quality and efficacy of these products remain, and bottle-necks in risk and benefit assessments need to be solved. PlantLIBRA (PLANT food ...

Safe Food for Europe – Coordination of research activities and Dissemination of research results of EC funded research on food safety (FOODSEG)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
"The proposed Coordination and support actions (Coordinating, CSA) has the overall objective to disseminate state-of-the-art research results in food safety and quality topics through a series of symposia, expert working group meetings, an online platform with best practise examples and coordination of cooperation and a plan for the preparation of future activities. In addition to the aim of disse ...

Enhancing collaboration in research for Livestock (RTD2Farm)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,
RTD2Farm has a simple, yet effective strategy to increase the uptake of RTD Results by livestock farmers.RTD2Farm will be involving the three main players of the process; RTD providers (Research centres, Universities, Industry, etc), Technology Transfer experts (Networking and Training Organisations) and Farmers (End Users).RTD2Farm will analyse methods for knowledge and technology transfer, defin ...
