Non-ordered nanoparticle superstructures – aerogels as efficient (electro-)catalysts (AEROCAT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"AEROCAT aims at the elucidation of the potential of nanoparticle derived aerogels in catalytic applications. The materials will be produced from a variety of nanoparticles available in colloidal solutions, amongst which are metals and metal oxides. The evolving aerogels are extremely light, highly porous solids and have been demonstrated to exhibit in many cases the important properties of the na ...

BEYOND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGIES FOR POWER AC CORRIDORS AND MULTI-TERMINAL HVDC SYSTEMS (BEST PATHS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"A group of eight Transmission System Operators with a generator company, manufacturers and research organisations, propose 5 demonstration projects to remove, in 4 years, several barriers which prevent large-scale penetration of renewable electricity production in the European transmission network. The full scale demonstrations led by industry aim at proving the benefits of novel technologies cou ...

Philosophy of History and Globalisation of Knowledge. Cultural Bridges Between Europe and Latin America (WORLDBRIDGES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"Bridges are built to interchange not only goods, but also knowledge, received historical heritage and ethical-political projects that can complement one another. International cooperation can only be fruitful if it is based on real dialogue, interaction and engagement, in this specific case that of Europe, Euro-Mediterranean and Latin America. The exchange scheme WORLDBRIDGES consists in facilita ...

The Principle of Disruption. A Figure Reflecting Complex Societies (Disruption)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"""Disruption"" is presented as a starting point for the analysis of formulas of societal self-description. Since the increasing susceptibility of complex societies to disruption cannot be managed solely by technology and the social sciences, it is necessary to develop a new form of cultural criticism which critically reflects on the interaction of societal sub-systems. Therefore, the objects to b ...

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 ...

Thin-film Hybrid Interfaces: a training initiative for the design of next-generation energy devices (THINFACE)

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

Organic thin-films constitute a fast growing area of electronic and opto-electronic devices that offer cost-effective and flexible solutions for e.g. improved energy efficiency and energy harvesting. Due to the achievements made during the past decade, the development of such sustainable energy devices has already reached an early commercialization stage, however, in order to further boost their u ...

Parallel computing based on designed networks explored by self-propelled, biological agents (ABACUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Many technologically and societally important mathematical problems are essentially intractable for traditional, serial computers. Therefore, a significant need exists for parallel computing approaches that would be able to solve such problems faster than current serial computers. This project will develop and benchmark a novel paradigm for future parallel computing approaches, based on biologica ...

Extracytoplasmic Function (ECF) Sigma Factors: From Regulatory Specificity to Synthetic Switches (SYNTHETIC ECFDEVICES)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

Bacillus subtilis is a model organism for basic and applied research that has been intensively studied for more than two decades in the course of EU-funded research consortia and – with the FP7-project BaSynthec – has recently entered the age of Synthetic Biology (SynBio). This emerging interdisciplinary research area has a huge potential for biotechnological applications and is a major focus of u ...

Constraint Satisfaction Problems: Algorithms and Complexity (CSP-COMPLEXITY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) has become a major common research focus of graph theory, artificial intelligence, and finite model theory. A recently discovered connection between the complexity of CSPs on finite domains to central problems in universal algebra led to additional activity in the area.The goal of this project is to extend the powerful techniques for constr ...
