The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

European NoVel Imaging Systems for ION therapy (ENVISION)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
Following the pioneering experiences which lasted several decades, particle therapy has become a recognized way of curing cancer. 2 new European dual-ion facilities (Heidelberg, Pavia) will soon become operational, followed by several others which are today at different stages of planning and construction. Hadron therapy faces the challenge of improving treatment outcomes with tools able to provid ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Mobile Energy Resources in Grids of Electricity (MERGE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
Electric power systems are facing a major new challenge (and hence opportunity): future massive integration in the electric grid of electric plug-in vehicles (EV). Distribution and transmission grids and power system architectures still follow planning rules and procedures defined for the traditional operational paradigm. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and prepare solutions for the operati ...
