MARine atmospheric Science Unravelled: Analytical and mass spectrometric techniques development and application (MARSU)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

MARSU is a collaborative (4 Member States , including one participant from the non-academic sector, and six Third Countries from South America, Africa and Asia) with the goal of gaining new knowledge and reducing the uncertainty about the effect of aerosols deriving from the air-sea exchange on climate and atmospheric composition connected to air pollution. The results from this key interdisciplin ...

Ion-Molecule Processes for Analytical Chemical Technologies (IMPACT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Soft chemical-ionization mass-spectrometry (SCIMS) is an exquisitely sensitive analytical technique with applications to health, the environment and security that are vital to the EU. However, the recent, rapid and widespread adoption of this technique has caught Europe unprepared. The resultant shortage in analytical chemical expertise has created an urgent need for highly skilled young researche ...

CLOUD Initial Training Network (CLOUD TRAIN) (CLOUD-TRAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"The aim of “CLOUD-TRAIN” is to establish a multi-site network of Early Stage Researchers (here predominantly PhD students) and Experienced Researchers at 10 partner institutions across Europe. The role of aerosol nucleation for atmospheric CCN levels, clouds and climate is investigated. The influence of various vapours and ions for aerosol nucleation, growth and cloud processes is studied to sign ...

Proton Ionization Molecular Mass Spectrometry (PIMMS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

"The need for quantitative and fast identification of trace gaseous compounds in complex chemical matrices continuously pushes the limits of analytical chemistry in many areas of relevance to the EU, including food, health, the environment, and security. A relatively new broad-based and rapidly growing analytical technique, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), combines excellent c ...

A Nanoscale Artificial Nose to easily detect Volatile Biomarkers at Early stages of Lung Cancer and Related Genetic Mutations (LCAOS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The LCAOS project will develop and test a new diagnostic tool, able to detect:(i) the presence of lung cancer (LC), and(ii) an increased risk of a patient developing LC in the future.Diagnostic tests currently available are unsuitable for widespread screening because they are costly, occasionally miss tumours, are not time-efficient, nor free of complications.LCAOS will overcome these problems by ...

Safety and Protection of built Infrastructure to Resist Integral Threats (SPIRIT)

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

"Terrorist attacks by bombing or CBR-agents are threats with a low probability but with disastrous consequences. There is strong need to protect people, the societal community and critical infrastructures and utilities against being damaged, destroyed or disrupted by deliberate acts of terrorism. Solutions have to be derived to realize sufficient resilience of the urban infrastructure for rare occ ...

"Application of innovative PTR-TOF mass spectrometry in plant biology, environmental science and food/food packaging" (PTR-TOF)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

...ansfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) uses chemical ionisation to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) virtually in real time. PTR-MS has found numerous applications. For the last nine years IONICON has manufactured and distributed more than 100 instruments all over the world. The customers are scientists and technicians from universities and renowned companies. As exciting as this tool i ...

CLOUD Initial Training Network (CLOUD-ITN)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"The aim of the proposed Marie Curie Initial Training Network is to establish a multi-site network of early stage researchers (ESRs, here predominantly PhD students) at 9 partner institiutions across Europe to investigate various aspects of the interactions of cosmic rays with aerosols and clouds, which bears on the possibility of a ""solar indirect"" contribution to climate change. Besides the i ...
