European Gram Negative Antibacterial Engine (ENABLE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The intensive use and misuse of antibiotics has resulted in some level of antibiotic resistance in essentially all human bacterial pathogens. There is a growing concern that the loss of therapeutic options will present us with a post-antibiotic era where present and future medical advances are negated. Resistant bacteria dramatically reduce the possibilities of treating infections effectively, a ...

Support for international rare disease research to serve the IRDiRC objectives (SUPPORT-IRDiRC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Research into rare diseases (RD) is badly needed as many patients still lack a proper diagnosis and most of them are left without an effective treatment. In addition, research in this area is very relevant from a scientific point of view as RD are model diseases for more common disorders and are strong drivers of innovation. However, research in this field faces some specific constraints stemming ...

"Therapeutic Beta-Lactam Monitoring for Stratified Treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia, improved dose-dependent efficacy, decreased treatment duration, and prevention of emergence of resistance" (MON4STRAT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

"Stratified clinical treatment interventions meeting patient-specific efficacy (pharmacodynamics) while at the same time lowering the risk of emergence of drug resistance (EDR) and minimizing adverse effects are particularly needed in Hospital-acquired and Ventilator-Associated pneumonia [HAP/VAP] where morbidity, mortality and health care costs remain high. β-lactam antibiotics are at the corners ...

Increasing Capacity 4 Rail networks through enhanced infrastructure and optimised operations (CAPACITY4RAIL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

In 2011, the White Paper on European Transport reasserted how fundamental transport was for society, for the mobility of European citizens and for the growth and vitality of the European economy.CAPACITY4RAIL will deliver research that is innovative, prepares rail for the future and takes into account results from previous research projects and programmes. The project builds on previous useable re ...

Holistic and Optimized Life-cycle Integrated SupporT for Energy-Efficient building design and Construction (HOLISTEEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Despite recent evolutions of tools/practices in the Architecture Engineering, Construction and Facility Management have already resulted in considerable advances, some limitations remain, related to the complexity and variability of building life cycles, addressing building end user awareness and participation, lack of new business models, life cycle fragmentation, limited interoperability of the ...

Bottom-up Approaches to Machines dedicated to Bayesian Inference (BAMBI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

We propose a theory and a hardware implementation of probabilistic computation inspired by biochemical cell signaling. We will study probabilistic computation following three axes: algebra, biology, and hardware. In each case, we will develop a bottom-up hierarchical approach starting from the elementary components, and study how to combine them to build more complex systems. We propose Bayesian g ...

European-COMPARative Effectiveness research on online Depression (E-COMPARED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

In 2010, 30 million Europeans were affected by depression and their number is still growing. Half of Europeans in need of mental care for depression do not have access to care services, do not always receive evidence-based treatments, are confronted with long waiting lists or high care expenditures. Internet-based treatment has the potential to addresses the drawbacks of standard care and keep dep ...

Higher Teichmüller-Thurston Theory: Representations of Surface Groups in PSL(n,R) (HighTeich)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Higher Teichmüller-Thurston theory is the study of a specific component of representations of a surface group of genus g in PSL(n,R). Teichmüller theory depends on a parameter: the genus g of the surface. Higher Teichmüller-Thurston introduces a new paramater n so that classical theory corresponds to n=2. Teichmüller theory is a crossroad between dynamics, complex analysis, spectral theory, geomet ...

Carbon Reduction by Auxiliary Firing TEchniques for glass Melter (CRAFTEM)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Each year, the EU’s Primary glass melters producing container and flat glass consume some 150 PJ of energy and emit some 10 Gigatonnes of fuel related CO2. Most of the EU’s large glass melting furnaces already employ reversing regenerators to achieve a thermal efficiency of 50% or more, a very good figure for a process operating at about 1600˚C. The industry is facing conflicting challenges to red ...

Towards the next generation of the Geological Time Scale for the last 100 million years – the European contribution to EARTHTIME (GTSnext)

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

Geological time is inextricably linked with Earth Sciences and the Geological Time Scale (GTS) is the yardstick to measure it. As such the GTS is the key to reconstruct Earth history. Recent developments in numerical dating now permit to build a much improved next generation GTS for the last 100 million years by integrating independent state-of-the-art techniques; this time scale will have an unpr ...

Meeting a Biodiversity Researcher (BIORES)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

"On the 24th of September 2010, a big event will be held in Brussels in the frame of the Researchers' Night. This event will be organized by the Belgian Science Policy Office in collaboration with major Belgian universities and research institutions. Considering that 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity, the Researchers' night will focus on the mutual understanding of researchers and cit ...
