Visions Of LANd use Transitions in Europe (VOLANTE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

VOLANTE aims to develop a new European land management paradigm, providing an integrated conceptual and operational platform which allows policy makers to develop pro-active and context-sensitive solutions to the challenges for the future, rather than to react on largely autonomous external land systems developments.Objective of VOLANTE is to provide European policy and land management with critic ...

Correlated Multielectron Dynamics in Intense Light Fields (CORINF)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Application of intense light fields opens the opportunity to image structures and dynamics of individual molecules with the combination of sub-Angstrom spatial and attosecond temporal resolution. However, intense light fields inevitably excite complex dynamics. The success of imaging techniques depends on our understanding of these largely unknown dynamics, creating demand for the theory of comple ...

Impacts of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Enhancing Carbon Stocks (I-REDD+)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

At COP15 in Copenhagen one outcome was a commitment to develop a mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+). There is, however, only a limited research basis for such a mechanism particularly with regard to the need for understanding and monitoring the impact of REDD+ activities on climate effectiveness, cost effici ...

Atomic Scale and single Molecule Logic gate Technologies (AtMol)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

AtMol will establish comprehensive process flow for fabricating a molecular chip, i.e. a molecular processing unit comprising a single molecule connected to external mesoscopic electrodes with atomic scale precision and preserving the integrity of the gates down to the atomic level after the encapsulation. Logic functions will be incorporated in a single molecule gate, or performed by a single sur ...

Systems biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (SYSTEMTB)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global health threat caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). One third of the world's population is infected with Mtb and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. Despite global research efforts, mechanisms underlying pathogenesis, virulence and persistence of Mtb infection remain poorly understood. Simple reductionist approaches are insufficient to ...

Direct biological conversion of solar energy to volatile hydrocarbon fuels by engineered cyanobacteria (DIRECTFUEL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"The objective of the DirectFuel project is to develop photosynthetic microorganisms that catalyze direct conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide to engine-ready fuels. A key process target of the proposal is 'direct' in the sense that fuel production should not require destructive extraction and further chemical conversion to generate directly useable transport fuels. To further increase ou ...

Plug and Produce Joint Interface Modules (PoPJIM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

PoPJIM identifies critical performance limiting problems in machine tool design and use. The project idea is based on two crucial innovative solutions: i) replacing conventional machine tool structural joint interfaces by a self configuring and optimising mechatronic module called Joint Interface Module, JIM, made of functional materials and ii) a wireless network consisting of these modules and a ...

Eukaryotic unicellular organism biology – systems biology of the control of cell growth and proliferation (UNICELLSYS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The overall objective of UNICELLSYS is a quantitative understanding of fundamental characteristics of eukaryotic unicellular organism biology: how cell growth and proliferation are controlled and coordinated by extracellular and intrinsic stimuli. Achieving an understanding of the principles with which bio-molecular systems function requires integrating quantitative experimentation with simulation ...

Generalized Analysis of Logs for Automatic Translation and Episodic Analysis of Searches (GALATEAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

With the growth of digital libraries and digital library federation (as well as partially unstructured collections of documents such as web sites), a large set of vendors is offering engines for retrieving contents and metadata via search requests by the end user (queries). In most cases these queries are just unstructured fragments of text in a specific language.The first service offered by GALA ...

Pathogenomics and Systems Biology of Fungal Infections – An Integrative Approach (FINSysB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The vision of the FINSysB Network is to generate bright, ambitious and well-trained young researchers capable of contributing significantly to the knowledge-base and economy of the European Union. We will achieve this goal by providing a strong, multidisciplinary training for early stage and experienced researchers in the pathobiology, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and systems biolo ...

Development of a framework for managing uncertain decisions in agricultural and environmental policies – Towards an integrated policy for decision-making support in rural areas (Rural Decisions)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

Current political and scientific debates are focused on finding a long-term policy beneficial both for environment and economy in rural areas in the EU member states. The proposed research project aims to methodologically reinforce these efforts and to contribute to development of an integrated policy for decision-making support in rural areas in an interdisciplinary process. The objective of the ...
