The Human Brain Project (HBP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Identification of genes important for human midbrain dopamine neuron development and Parkinson’s disease (DDPDGENES)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"The goal of this project is to determine whether the expression of developmental genes in defined subpopulations of DA neurons contributes to the specification of currently unrecognized midbrain DA neuron subtypes and whether their missexpression may contribute to the loss of DA neurons in the adulthood and to the pathogenesis of PD.Many developmental genes have been found to be implicated in the ...

Dynamical Exascale Entry Platform (DEEP)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
DEEP proposes to develop a novel, Exascale-enabling supercomputing platform along with the optimisation of a set of grand-challenge codes simulating applications highly relevant for Europe's science, industry and society. The DEEP System will realise a Cluster Booster Architecture that can cope with the limitations purported by Amdahl's Law. It will serve as proof-of-concept for a next-generation ...

An Observatorium for Science in Society based in Social Models (SISOB)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Funding agencies and decision-makers seek to support research with a high social impact. To identify this research, they need tools. Traditional evaluation of research has used peer review (before publication) and bibliometric indicators (afterwards). However, these tools evaluate research in terms of the values and needs of the research community, rather than those of society. Against this back ...

TRP Channels in Gut and Brain – Function, Role and Ligand Crosstalk (Spices, Gut & Brain)
Start date: May 15, 2010, End date: May 14, 2012,
An emerging topic in nutrition research is to understand the role of spices both culturally and physiologically beyond just being taste givers. Anecdotally numerous health benefits have been ascribed to naturally derived compounds from spices but the molecular mechanisms through which spices mediate their effects remain largely unknown. Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels expressed in ...

Human Brain Project (HBP)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
The human brain can be seen as an immensely powerful, energy efficient, self-learning, self-repairing computer. If we could understand and mimic the way the brain works, we could revolutionize information technology, medicine and society. But to do so we have to bring together everything we know and everything we can learn about the inner workings of the brain's molecules, cells and circuits. The ...
