Food Planning and Innovation for Sustainable Metropolitan Regions (FOODMETRES)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
The proposed project ‘Food Planning and Innovation for Sustainable Metropolitan Regions’ (FOODMETRES) thrives to assess both the environmental and the socio-economic impacts of food chains with regard to spatial, logistical and resource dimension of growing food as well as food planning and governance. Recognising that food production and consumption is not only linked via food chains in a physica ...

International comparisons of product supply chains in the agro-food sectors: determinants of their competitiveness and performance on EU and international markets (COMPETE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
"The project will deliver a coherent and innovative evaluation of competitiveness of European food chains by integrating various new approaches. Based on this, the research results allows to deduce a congruent, coherent and consistent set of policy recommendations aiming at improving competitiveness and promoting the Knowledge Based Bio-Economy in Europe.The analysis is conducted along two lines, ...

In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies of muscle mitochondrial function in mice (INMARESS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"Alterations in muscle mitochondrial function have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and the deleterious effects of aging. However, the precise role for mitochondrial function in these processes remains to be established. In vivo 31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (31P-MRS) is an effective technique that pe ...

Comparative Analysis of Factor Markets for Agriculture across the Member States (Factor Markets)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
Well functioning factor markets are a crucial condition for the competitiveness and growth of agriculture and for rural development. At the same time, the functioning of the factor markets themselves are influenced by changes in agriculture and the rural economy, and in EU policies. Member state regulations and institutions affecting land, labour, and capital markets may cause important heterogene ...

Identifying and validating pre-clinical biomarkers for diagnostics and therapeutics of Neuromuscular Disorders (BIO-NMD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The rapidly expanding knowledge of NMDs genetic diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapeutic possibilities has provided new targets for disease characterisation, early diagnosis, drug discovery and development as well as has raised many questions about how to translate this knowledge into clinical practice as (initial) clinical trials typically run for such a short time that clinical improvement can h ...
