BBMRI - Large Prospective Cohorts (BBMRI-LPC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

In recent years, biomedical research has crossed international borders in large, collaborative studies showing the value of multidisciplinarity and scale advantage. This has yielded valuable insights and some led to new and better medicines and treatments for diseases. However, disease-focused studies provide less insight in the real disease onset, the relative disease burden in the population, an ...

Hydrogen Transport in European Cities (HyTEC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

This proposal focuses on creating two new European hydrogen passenger vehicle deployment centres in London and Copenhagen – cities that are widely recognised as synonymous with the goal of developing and then adopting ultra-low carbon urban transport solutions.The HyTEC project will also create genuine links between the new and existing hydrogen passenger vehicle demonstration projects across Euro ...

Novel Electron Beam Surface Sculpting for Efficient Heat Exchange (HEATSCULPTOR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

By combining a new surface engineering process with state-of-the-art thermal modelling, significant design and performance improvements to heat exchangers for electronic and electrical systems can be made. The surface designs created will not only provide an increase in surface area (allowing for smaller size heat exchanger packaging), but also enable ‘designed’ flow over a surface (which will enh ...

Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode in support of EU Plant Health policy (REPHRAME)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Europe’s pine forests are a valuable economic, social and environmental resource under threat from the introduction of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Although not a pest in its native North America, PWN has devastated forests in Asia. Since the arrival of PWN in Portugal, the native maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, has proved to be extremely susceptible, with PWN being s ...

Offshore Wind Turbine Towers – A Quicker, Cheaper Flange Supply Route (RingMan)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

There is a tendency to higher power offshore wind turbines, leading to larger turbine towers (5m diameter and greater) and a requirement for large diameter connection flanges between the tower sections and between the tower and foundation transition pieces. Currently, forged rings are specified, with inherently high cost and few suppliers worldwide. This leads to long lead times and higher costs f ...

Coordination Action for Research Activities on Life in Extreme Environments (CAREX)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"Life in Extreme Environments (LEXEN) is an emerging area of research in which Europe has considerable expertise but a relatively fragmented research infrastructure. The science of such environments has enormous relevance for our knowledge of the diversity and environmental limits of microbial, plant and animal life and the novel strategies employed for survival and growth. Such studies are esse ...
