Ensuring the Integrity of the European food chain (FOODINTEGRITY)

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

Food Integrity “the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished or in perfect condition”.Providing assurance to consumers and other stakeholders about the safety, authenticity and quality of European food (integrity) is of prime importance in adding value to the European Agri-food economy. The integrity of European foods is under constant threat from fraudulently labelled imitations that try to ...

Ultra High-throughput platform for the selection of thermostable proteins by thermophilic in vitro transcription-translation and microfluidics (HOTDROPS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,

"This initiative connects four companies and four academic groups in pursuit of a central biotechnological challenge: to identify and improve enzymes for application in industrial biocatalysis. The technology interchange is centered around key technologies to generate thermostabilized proteins. We will develop, share and spread the following approaches (i) folding interference assays with a therm ...

Demonstration of methods and tools for the optimisation of operational reliability of large-scale industrial wind turbines (OPTIMUS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

The power output from wind turbines has increased dramatically over the past thirty years from 50 kW to 6 MW, while 8-12 MW turbines are in the stage of design. State-of-the-art condition monitoring systems, such as vibration-based systems and temperature sensors, are able to monitor and evaluate the current condition of components of interest. Nonetheless, varying wind loads can result in the gen ...

Advancing and strengthening the methodological tools and practices relating to the application and implementation of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) (ADVANCE_HTA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The use of HTA has increased recently in Europe and more widely (e.g. Americas) to enable evidence-based coverage decisions and improve efficiency in resource allocation.HTA has often resulted in different coverage decisions across settings despite the same evidence being used for this purpose. This may reflect in part societal preferences about value, priorities or risk perceptions, suggesting a ...

Development and demonstration of intelligent non-contact inspection technology for concentrated solar power plants (INTERSOLAR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is the renewable energy source with the highest potential for growth. From a strict techno-economic aspect, the two CSP technologies which are currently commercially viable are those based on parabolic trough and Linear Fresnel Reflector designs. Parabolic trough concentrators are the most widely deployed type of solar thermal power plant. Most of the existing parabo ...

Forest fires under climate, social and economic changes in Europe, the Mediterranean and other fire-affected areas of the world (FUME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Fire regimes result from interactions between climate, land-use and land-cover (LULC), and socioeconomic factors, among other. These changed during the last decades, particularly around the Mediterranean. Our understanding of how they affected fire regime in the past is limited. During this century temperatures, drought and heat waves will very likely increase, and rainfall decrease. These and fur ...

Sustainable Irrigation water management and River-basin governance: Implementing User-driven Services (SIRIUS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"SIRIUS addresses efficient water resource management in water-scarce environments. It focuses in particular on water for food production with the perspective of a sustainable agriculture in the context of integrated river-basin management, including drought management. It aims at developing innovative and new GMES service capacities for the user community of irrigation water management and susta ...
