Innovative and sustainable strategies to mitigate the impact of global change on helminth infections in ruminants (GLOWORM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
"Infections with parasitic worms (nematodes and trematodes) represent a significant economic and welfare burden to the European ruminant livestock industry. The increasing prevalence of anthelmintic resistance means that current control programmes are costly and unsustainable in the long term. Recent changes in the epidemiology, seasonality and geographic distribution of helminth infections have b ...

Linking Impact Assessment Instruments to Sustainability Expertise (LIAISE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
Existing research points out that the full potential of Impact Assessment (IA) for delivering sustainable development is not being realised. Many tools to support IA are not yet being fully employed by policy makers. This is symptomatic of a large and deep gap between the two broad communities of IA researchers and IA practitioners. Practitioners tend to look for tools that are simple and transpar ...

Role of Microtubule Polarity and Polarized Membrane Traffic in Directed Cell Migration (Cell Polarity)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
The ability of cells to polarize is crucial for development, wound healing, and neurotransmission. As many cellular polarity factors play central roles in disease (e.g. cancer, neurological dysfunction) understanding the molecular basis of cell polarity is of great importance to the biomedical sciences. One central aspect of cell polarity involves the regulation of the cytoskeleton and membrane-t ...

Food Risk Communication. Perceptions and communication of food risks/benefits across Europe: development of effective communication strategies (FoodRisC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
FoodRisC will characterise key configurations of food risk/benefit relationships and the consequent implications for risk communicators, make recommendations about the unique potential of new social media (e.g. social networks and blogging) and provide a systematic understanding of how consumers deal with food risk/benefit information. The FoodRisC consortium is comprised of experts in key fields ...

Language, Cognition, and Gender (ITN-LCG)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The Initial Training Network - Language, Cognition, and Gender (ITN LCG) investigates European languages from an interdisciplinary perspective to expand current knowledge of how language influences and forms the cognitive representations of women and men. The diversity of Europe offers a unique opportunity to investigate the impact of language and culture in establishing and maintaining gender ine ...

Innovation in Science Education - Turning Kids on to Science (KidsINNscience)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2013,
KidsINNscience will identify and promote innovative approaches for teaching and learning science, adapt and test them for implementation in mainstream schools and develop innovation strategies in all participating countries. The consortium proposes a collaborative project (specific international cooperation action (SICA)) for experts who work with and on new methods for science education. The over ...
