Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

Nanometrology Standardization Methods for Magnetic Nanoparticles (NANOMAG)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

The NanoMag project is to improve and redefine existing analyzing methods and in some cases, to develop new analyzing methods for magnetic nanostructures. Using improved manufacturing technologies we will synthesize magnetic nanoparticles with specific properties that will be analyzed with a multitude of characterization techniques (focusing on both structural as well as magnetic properties) and b ...

Rational Bioactive Materials Design for Tissue Regeneration (BIODESIGN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The development of functional materials for tissue regeneration is today mostly based on perceived and limited design criteria often using a single point approach with lengthy animal trials. The outcome after in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation is often disappointing resulting in a tedious iteration process. The main objective of this project is to achieve radical innovations in state-of-the-art bioma ...

Smart nano-structured devices hierarchically assembled by bio-mineralization processes (SMILEY)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"SMILEY aims to develop and apply a ""bottom-up"" approach to build nano-structured devices with smart multi-functional properties: bio-mineralization, self-assembly, self-organization are an ensemble of concomitant phenomena, inspired by nature, that will be properly directed to generate elementary nano-sized building blocks organized in macroscopic devices for application in EHS (Environment, He ...

Europeana Creative

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

Europeana Creative will support and promote the re-use of cultural resources available via Europeana by realising a set of concrete objectives. (1) The project will establish the Europeana Labs Network of online and physical spaces for experimentation and engagement. The labs will provide access to technical and business services, and experimentation content to support the development of new proje ...

Regenerating Bone defects using New biomedical Engineering approaches (REBORNE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissue with about 1 million procedures annually in Europe. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently estimated at 5 billion € with a 10% annual growth. Despite their considerable disadvantages, including the risk of disease transfer and immunologic rejection, limited supply of bone, costs and complications, allografts and autogra ...

"Intelligent Information System Supporting Observation, Searching and Detection for Security of Citizens in Urban Environment" (INDECT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"The main objectives of the INDECT project are: • to develop a platform for: the registration and exchange of operational data, acquisition of multimedia content, intelligent processing of all information and automatic detection of threats and recognition of abnormal behaviour or violence, • to develop the prototype of an integrated, network-centric system supporting the operational activities of ...

Opening up the Natural History Heritage for Europeana (OpenUp!)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

European natural history collections manage and give access to over 1.5 bn objects from the world's biodiversity heritage, covering most of the species described worldwide. These are reference objects for all the common and famous species in the world, incl. those of high economic importance and even those that have already gone extinct. Many have great cultural value as they were collected during ...

Fluid optimisation Workflows for Highly Effective Automotive Development Processes (FlowHead)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

The automotive industry has recently seen a paradigmatic shift from design processes based on physical prototypes to a computationally aided product development process (PDP) based on virtual prototypes. To maintain the competitiveness of European car manufacturers, a significant reduction of lead development time is required. The main potential for improvement lies in further exploitation of virt ...

Identity and Conflict. Cultural Heritage and the re-construction of identities after conflict (CRIC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

This proposal aims to investigate the ways the destruction and subsequent selective reconstruction of the cultural heritage impact identity formation. Recent conflicts in Europe, as well as abroad, has brought the deliberate destruction of the heritage of others, as a means of inflicting pain, to the foreground. With this has come the realisation that the processes involved and thus the long-term ...
