Formation And Excitation of Astronomical Fullerenes (FEASTFUL)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,
"The precise composition of the material that is injected into the Interstellar Medium (ISM) determines the physical properties of the local Universe, as well as the chemical pathways that lead to the formation of complex, organic molecules that can be incorporated into new stars and planetary systems. One of the most important families of organic molecules is fullerenes, large molecules of carbon ...

Predicting carbon release from forest soils through priming effects: a new approach to reconcile results across multiple scales (FORESTPRIME)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
Feedbacks between plants and soil under environmental change are likely to have a significant impact on ecosystem carbon cycling. Recent work has shown that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have enhanced tree growth in forests. However these increases in growth can also cause ‘priming effects’ whereby microbial degradation of soil organic matter is stimulated by fresh carbon inp ...

Proton Ionization Molecular Mass Spectrometry (PIMMS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,
"The need for quantitative and fast identification of trace gaseous compounds in complex chemical matrices continuously pushes the limits of analytical chemistry in many areas of relevance to the EU, including food, health, the environment, and security. A relatively new broad-based and rapidly growing analytical technique, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), combines excellent c ...

A Global Approach to Near-Earth Object Impact Threat Mitigation (NEOSHIELD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,
Collisions of asteroids and comets with the Earth have taken place frequently over geological history and have altered the evolutionary course of life; there is no reason why they should not continue to hit the Earth at irregular and unpredictable intervals in the future. Thousands of near-Earth objects (NEOs), mainly asteroids, have been discovered over the past 20 years and the reality of the im ...

Support at the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (SUP@VAMDC)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,
The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) is a major new European initiative now building a unified, secure, documented, flexible and interoperable e-science environment-based interface to 17 existing A+M databases.The SUP@VAMDC (Support at VAMDC) aims at building upon the VAMDC e-infrastructure, supporting different studies and actions linked to the VAMDC e-infrastructure that will in ...
