Functional liquid Crystalline dendrimers: Synthesis of New Materials, Resource for New Applications (Dendreamers)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Dendrimers are new materials obtained with a highly controlled molecular structure in several space orientations. Liquid Crystals (LC) Dendrimers are a part of them that incorporate directional properties to these materials. If we append active molecules into these engineered molecules, we can obtain multifunctional anisotropic molecules that open the possibility of achieving a wide variety of phy ...

Ethics of enhancement technology (ETHENTECH)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
The main objective of this ETHENTECH project is to take substantially further forward both the ethical evaluation and public discussion of two important emerging fields of micro- and nanobiotechnology which pose very significant ethical and societal issues of public concern: neurological implants and the potential for human functional enhancement. Neural implants are a major new class of medical d ...

Nanomedicine ethical, regulatory, social and economic environment (Nanomed Round Table)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2010,
The fundamental objective of this Round Table exercise is to respond substantially to the need for genuine engagement and involvement of all the key stakeholders (public and private) in the nanomedical field in preparing the groundwork for optimised and collective decision-making at the European level. Although very promising, nanomedicine may add new dimensions to many ethical, social and economi ...

A joint EC/NEA EBS project synthesis report (EBSSYN)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2009,
This project will involve the preparation of a synthesis report on Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) and the safety of deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. The objective of the report will be to bring together the main conclusions from a series of key thematic international workshops organised by the OECD/NEA on the Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS). Using the proceedin ...
