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 ...

Cradle to cradle sustainable pv modules (CU-PV)

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

Even though solar power is pollution-free during use, production of solar (PV) modules consumes extensive energy and natural resources. Recycling is hardly considered during module production, and therefore cumbersome and inefficient. The fast growth of the PV-industry entails similarly fast growth in resource consumption with growing production capacity: currently modest amounts can become very h ...

A Systems Biology Approach to controlling Nematode Infections of Livestock (NematodeSystemHealth)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Nematodes are among the most serious threats to livestock. They cause disease and death but they also compromise production. Even a mild infection can cause a relative protein deficiency and reduce weight gain by 25% . In the UK sheep industry alone, nematode infection costs over 100 million Euros a year .The mainstay of current control measures is anthelmintic treatment but this is threatened b ...

Intuitive operation and pilot training when using marine azimuthing control devices (AZIPILOT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The aim is to improve by policy and design, the safety and security of ships by taking into account the man-machine interface and the training of maritime pilots; specifically when operating ships equipped with azimuthing control devices. From the thrusters on smaller, but numerous, harbour support vessels through to the pod-drives on cruise ships and ocean going liners, azimuthing control has ra ...
