RD-CONNECT: An integrated platform connecting registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research (RD-CONNECT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
Despite examples of excellent practice, rare disease (RD) research is still mainly fragmented by data and disease types. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection between detailed clinical and genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Con ...

Multi-level analysis of the evolution of cooperative behaviour in social insects (EVOCOOP)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Cooperation is a fascinating process that is widespread in nature and which can be used to infer knowledge about basic mechanisms regulating complex behaviours. Cooperation is also a key milestone in the evolution of sociality: cooperative interactions among related individuals underpin the evolution of altruism and division of labour, two traits that have reached their highest expression in insec ...

"Low cost, easy to use Intelligent Irrigation Scheduling System" (WATER-BEE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
"Agriculture, the largest industry in the world, is also the biggest threat to the environment. According to the WWF, agriculture wastes 60% or 1,500 trillion litres, of the 2,500 trillion litres of water it uses each year - which is 70% of the world’s accessible water. One of the main culprits is inefficient water irrigation systems. Looking at the European context, 65% of total water consumption ...
