The coordination of national research activities of Member States and Associated States in the field of Ocean Energy (ERA-NET) (OCEANERA-NET)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
Europe’s vast coast line harbours a huge potential resource of ocean energy to be exploited as a renewable electricity source contributing towards the 2020 targets and beyond. The ocean is a complex working environment, relatively little is known about it and it is widely used by others, such as fishing, shipping and recreation. However, the prize for introducing ocean energy generation is high, e ...

The development of tools and effective strategies for the optimisation of useful secondary METAbolite PROduction in planta (METAPRO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,
In the METAPRO project we aim to optimise the production of several useful isoprenoid derived secondary metabolites to demonstrate the tools and strategies developed for the generic production of useful secondary metabolites in plants. Astaxanthin (ketocarotenoids) and the apocarotenoid crocin have been selected to demonstrate the application of the technologies adopted and developed. These compou ...
