More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

Systems Analysis Tools Framework for the EU Bio-Based Economy Strategy (SAT-BBE)

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

One of the biggest challenges facing global society today is the provision of food, water, energy, healthcare and other resources and services to a world that will see its population increase by a third in the face of mounting environmental stresses over the next 20 years. SAT-BBE studies the contribution of a bioeconomy in many of these areas to ensure long term economic and environmental sustain ...

Vectors of Change in Oceans and Seas Marine Life, Impact on Economic Sectors (VECTORS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Marine life makes a substantial contribution to the economy and society of Europe. VECTORS will elucidate the drivers, pressures and vectors that cause change in marine life, the mechanisms by which they do so, the impacts that they have on ecosystem structures and functioning, and on the economics of associated marine sectors and society. VECTORS will particularly focus on causes and consequences ...

Comparative Analysis of Factor Markets for Agriculture across the Member States (Factor Markets)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Well functioning factor markets are a crucial condition for the competitiveness and growth of agriculture and for rural development. At the same time, the functioning of the factor markets themselves are influenced by changes in agriculture and the rural economy, and in EU policies. Member state regulations and institutions affecting land, labour, and capital markets may cause important heterogene ...

Interaction in coastal waters: A roadmap to sustainable integration of aquaculture and fisheries (COEXIST)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"Coastal areas are subject to an increase in competing activities and protection (Natura 2000, Marine Strategy Directive) and are a source of potential conflict for space allocation. COEXIST is a broad, multidisciplinary approach to evaluate these interactions with the ultimate goal to provide a roadmap to better integration, sustainability and synergies among different activities in the coastal z ...

Water Treatment by Molecularly Imprinted Materials (WATERMIM)

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

The present “WATERMIM” proposal is focused on the advancement and optimization of the MIP technology in order to produce functional materials with well-defined morphologies with respect to pore structure and selectivity for water treatment applications. The project aims at the elimination of the random distribution and the uneven accessibility of receptor sites in the volume of the imprinted mater ...
