Isotope forensics meets biogeochemistry – linking sources and sinks of organic contaminants by compound specific isotope investigation (CSI:ENVIRONMENT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
"The initial training network CSI: ENVIRONMENT aims at training 16 young scientists in the discipline of compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) for environmental and forensic investigations. Linking sources and sinks of organic contaminants is a major challenge in contemporary environmental science. Chemicals can be released to the environment when leaving their field of application, intended o ...

Establishment of Quality Assurances for the Detection of Biological Toxins of Potential Bioterrorism Risk (EQuATox)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
The features of biological toxins like ricin, botulinum toxins, staphylococcal enterotoxins and saxitoxin place them at the interface of classical biological and chemical agents. They could be used for terrorist attacks on the basis of their availability, ease of preparation, the high toxicity and/or the lack of medical countermeasures. Some of the toxins are considered among the most relevant age ...

Quality and Safety of Feeds and Food for Europe (QSAFFE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
"The rearing of healthy European livestock is highly dependent on the provision of high quality and safe feeds. This in turn has a major impact on the safety of the entire animal based food chain. The concept of Q-SAFFE is to deliver better, faster and economically viable means of ensuring the quality and safety of animal feeds in Europe. The Q-SAFFE consortium is composed of academics and governm ...

European Research Infrastructures for Nuclear Data Applications (ERINDA)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,
Different concepts involving critical (fast) reactors or subcritical accelerator-driven systems are being studied in view of their transmutation capabilities. These design studies imply high demands on the underlying nuclear database. The need for improved nuclear data has been expressed in the Strategic Research Agenda of the SNE-TP ( Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform).The accurate k ...

Nanoparticles in Food: Analytical methods for detection and characterisation (NanoLyse)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The NanoLyse project will focus on the development of validated methods and reference materials for the analysis of engineered nano-particles (ENP) in food and beverages. The developed methods will cover all relevant classes of ENP with reported or expected food and food contact material applications, i.e. metal, metal oxide/silicate, surface functionalised and organic encapsulate (colloidal/micel ...

Optimal Policies for Transport in Combination (OPTIC)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
OPTIC is a high level policy support activity that will consolidate and extend knowledge for policy-making in the process of construction and implementation of optimal packages of transport policy measures. It includes,- critical reviews of existing studies and theories about policy interactions in the field of policy packaging- improvement to existing models and assessment tools in reflecting suc ...
