MIME - MOBILITY AND INCLUSION IN MULTILINGUAL EUROPE (MIME)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Using an innovative interdisciplinary approach, MIME will generate an organised body of policy-relevant propositions addressing the full range of questions raised in the call. Our aim is to identify the language policies and strategies that best combine “mobility” and “inclusion”.MIME emphasises complementarity between disciplines, and brings together researchers from sociolinguistics, political s ...

Human stem cell applications for the treatment of hearing loss (OTOSTEM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Hearing impairment is the most frequent human sensory deficit and is mainly caused by the irreversible loss of neurosensory cells in the cochlea. The lack of human otic cell models represents a significant roadblock that has hampered the development of drug-based or cell-based therapies for the treatment of hearing loss. In a collaborative effort under this proposal we wish to devise approaches to ...

Energy Efficient Tunnel FET Switches and Circuits (E2SWITCH)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

E2SWITCH focuses on Tunnel FET (TFETs) as most promising energy efficient device candidates able to reduce the voltage supply of integrated circuits (ICs) below 0.25V and make them significantly more energy efficient by exploiting strained SiGe/Ge and III-V platforms, with CMOS technological compatibility. A full optimization and DC/AC benchmarking for complementary n- and p-type TFETs, integrated ...

Metformin for treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome in children (METFIZZ)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

PCOS, a common disorder affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age is characterized by cystic ovarian morphology, androgen excess, and/or irregular periods and emerges during or shortly after puberty. The common off-label use of metformin for treating PCOS in children appears to have no greater risk than that in adults; drug tolerance is good with limited adverse effects. However, clinical trial ...

"Biosensors, Reporters and Algal Autonomous Vessels for Ocean Operation" (BRAAVOO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

"BRAAVOO aims to develop innovative solutions for real-time in-situ measurements of high impact and difficult to measure marine pollutants. The concept of BRAAVOO is based on a unique combination of three types of biosensors, which will enable both the detection of a number of specific marine priority pollutants as well as of general biological effects that can be used for early warning. First, in ...

Impact of climate change and globalisation on safety of fresh produce – governing a supply chain of uncompromised food sovereignty (VEG-i-TRADE)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

VEG-i-TRADE provides platforms to identify impacts of anticipated climate change and globalisation on food safety, microbiological and chemical hazards, of fresh produce and derived food products. Control measures of managerial and technological nature will be developed in the supply chain of crop production, post-harvest processing and logistics to minimize food safety risks. The assessment of th ...

Targeted delivery of dietary flavanols for optimal human cell function: Effect on cardiovascular health (FLAVIOLA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Nutrition, i.e. our daily diet, is a major life style factor, greatly impacting on human health and disease. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets rich in plant-based foods and beverages decrease the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Various phytochemical constituents, in particular a class of compounds called flavanols, have been avidly investigated in recent years. Current ...

Mucosal protease and their inhibitors in inflammatory bowel disease: From etiopathogenetic insight to innovative therapy (IBDase)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

IBDase addresses the etiology and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with a multidisciplinary plan for innovative diagnosis and therapy focused on mucosal proteases and their inhibitors (P/PIs). The incidence of IBD, a multifactorial disease influenced by environmental factors in a background of complex genetic susceptibility, is rising, particularly among European children. Current ...

Synaptic mechanisms of memory loss: novel cell adhesion molecules as therapeutic targets (MemStick)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2011,

Memory loss is a central symptom in different diseases, and represents a significant social and economic burden for a large percentage of European citizens. The molecular and neurobiological bases of memory deficits are largely unknown and there are currently no drugs available that can markedly decelerate or prevent memory decline. To address this major problem, this project will investigate the ...
