Daguerreobase

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The daguerreotype was the first successful photographic process in the history of photography and can be seen as the'Incunabula of Photography'. On January 7, 1839, the daguerreotype was presented at the Académie des Sciences inParis. The daguerreotype is named after its inventor Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, was widely used in Europe and represents the first photographic images of Europe and its ...

Developing a Knowledge Network for EUropean expertise on biodiversity and ecosystem services to inform policy making economic sectors (KNEU)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

"Knowledge about biodiversity and ecosystem services is well advanced in the European scientific community, as demonstrated by many excellent projects and their scientific impact. However, on the global as well as the European scale, there is a failure to communicate the knowledge gained into the policy-making process and society as a whole. Such communication efforts, must ensure that all relevan ...

Surface Engineering for Antifouling - Coordinated Advanced Training (SEACOAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The main research goal of SEACOAT is to improve understanding of biointerfacial processes involved in the colonisation of surfaces by marine fouling organisms. Our vision is that this enhanced understanding will inform the future development of new, environmentally-benign materials and coatings for the practical control of marine biofouling. Our principal objective is to discover which nano- and ...

A road map for European ageing research (WhyWeAge)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The rapid increase of life expectancy in Europe is essentially a positive outcome from improved health care and socioeconomic progress. However age-related deteriorations of health greatly impinge upon the health care and social security systems. This fosters an increasing necessity of keeping as long as possible the elderly in relatively healthy conditions. Unravelling the fundamental mechanisms ...
