A common European approach to the regulatory testing of nanomaterials (NANOREG)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related EHS issues. While toxicity data is continuously becoming available, the relevance to regulators is often unclear or unproven. The shrinking time to market of new MNM drives the need for urgent action by regulators. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answe ...

Standardising the nano-scratch test (NANOINDENT-plus)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

This project will further develop, validate and draft standards for nano-scratching, which is an important new tool to investigate the tribological properties of materials on a scale relevant to the fundamental mechanisms of wear. It will facilitate the development of new coatings and engineered surfaces that will give impact through improved competitiveness of industry and a better quality of lif ...

Search for emergent phenomena in oxide nanostructures (SEPON)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"Oxide nanostructures in low dimensions on well-defined metal surfaces form novel hybrid systems with tremendous potential and impact in fundamental research and for the emerging nanotechnologies. The focus of the project is on the fabrication of two-, quasi-one-, and quasi-zero-dimensional oxide nanostructure model systems suitable for elucidation of their emergent properties in terms of structur ...

Democratic Peace Theory: Recent Developments (DPTRD)

Start date: Mar 15, 2008, End date: Mar 14, 2011,

"In the last two decades political philosophers and international relations (henceforth IR) scholars have widely debated the so called “democratic peace” thesis, i.e. the idea that liberal democracies are more pacific than authoritarian regimes. The history of the last two centuries suggests that democracies have never fought wars against each other (although they have often waged wars against aut ...

Reduction of the impact of human activity on Caretta and Tursiops and their conservation in Sicily (Caretta and tursiops)

Start date: Sep 1, 2003, End date: May 31, 2007,

Background In 2003 the province of Agrigento, on the south coast of Sicily, completed a LIFE project (LIFE99 NAT/IT/006271 - Urgent conservation measures of Caretta caretta in the Pelagian Islands) aimed at the conservation of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). It targeted two Natura 2000 sites in the Pelagian islands, Lampedusa and Linosa. The proj ...
