DRiving InnoVation in crisis management for European Resilience (DRIVER)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

DRIVER starts from the experience that neither successful R&D nor strong end-user demand always lead to innovation in the Crisis Management (CM) domain. This is a problem since as societies become more complex, increasing scope and unpredictability of potential crises and faster dynamics of major incidents put increasingly stringent demands on CM. European CM capabilities already constitute a matu ...

Immunoglobulin IgY pseudomonas A clinical trial for cystic fibrosis treatment (IMPACTT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronically debilitating and life threatening medical condition. Respiratory insufficiency and complications of chronic lung infection lead to long term reduction in quality of life and health and even to premature death. Chronic bacterial infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influezae are typical for CF and repeated courses ...

Sustainable sewage sludge management fostering phosphorus recovery and energy efficiency (P-REX)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of 975 000 tons of phosphorus annually imported into Europe to sustain good harvests. While phosphorus is a limited fossil element, its extensive recovery from “secondary deposits” is of paramount importan ...

Safety and quality assurance measures along the pellets supply chain (SAFEPELLETS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Isolated incidents due to increased, toxic emissions in pellet storages have aroused great relevance and urgency on operational and customer safety in wood pellet supply chains. Reportedly two cases of death have occurred in large size vessels for ocean transportation and in harbour facilities. Another three incidents were reported in end-users´ storage rooms, the last of which resulted in the dea ...

Crevice-free, high reliability bi-metallic surgical instruments manufactured from shape memory alloys (CleanTools)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

Flexible medical instruments such as bone reamers are currently constructed from multiple parts in dissimilar materials, which have very different properties. The current method of linking these parts together is by mechanical coupling. Effective decontamination of such instruments is challenging but is critical to avoid cross infection between patients. The geometry of the instrument assembly (pa ...

Boosting raw material and energy efficiency using advanced sheet structure design and fibre modifications (BoostEff)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

BoostEff aims at developing new innovative manufacturing concepts for wood-fibre based products giving a significant reduction in environmental footprint. The targeted products are important commodities for the European society: paper and construction board. In spite of the different end uses, the paper making and construction board sectors share wood fibres as a common raw material and convert th ...

Advancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety through Software Technology phase 2 (ATESST2)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

Advanced automotive functions are increasingly dependent on software and electronics. The complexity and criticality of automotive embedded systems already constitute an inhibiting factor for further evolution of functionality. This is evident for single automotive systems and even more so for functions that interact between vehicles and between vehicle and infrastructure, cooperative systems. New ...
