Enhanced Lightweight Design (ENLIGHT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Lightweight materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced plastics have been used up to now mostly in high-performance cars with relatively high cost & low production volumes. Instead the electric cars of the future require lightweight solutions that not only enable specific design requirements to be respected but are also cost effective and sustainable throughout their lifecycle.ENLIGHT aims to accel ...

Real-life trial in Social Housing, of Water and Energy efficiency ICT services (SHOWE-IT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The SHOWE-IT project is an initiative that aims to reduce energy and water consumption in social housing against (for all stakeholders) favorable conditions, by creating a win-win situation where the different stakeholders all have something to gain. This project should prove the attribution that ICT solutions could make to create these circumstances and help create situations for replication that ...

Multiscale reinforcement of semi-crystalline thermoplastic sheets and honeycombs (M-RECT)
Start date: Apr 15, 2010, End date: Apr 14, 2014,
The M-RECT project aims to create multiscale-reinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastics (PEEK and PPS), which will outperform all reinforced polymers in terms of strength, stiffness, creep and mainly damping by upscaling and further developing state of the art production methods, within cost-efficient manufacturing routes. The envisaged multiscale reinforcement will comprise of dispersed straighte ...

European observatory for science-based and economic expert analysis of nanotechnologies, cognisant of barriers and risks, to engage with relevant stakeholders regarding benefits and opportunities (observatoryNANO)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
observatoryNANO brings together leading EU organizations who collectively have expertise in the technological; economic; societal/ethical; health, safety, and environmental analysis of nanotechnologies. Its primary aim is to develop appropriate methodologies to link scientific and technological development of nanotechnologies with socio-economic impacts. Both of these aspects will be enhanced by e ...
