Pilot-scale hybrid roll to roll/sheet to sheet manufacturing chain for flexible OLEDs (Flex-o-Fab)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

...nce (OLED) is the most promising technology to deliver flexible, thin, light weight, power efficient and environment-friendly light sources. Currently glass based OLED devices are slowly entering the market place, opening new possibilities for lighting solutions. By adding flexibility and robustness at a lower price point, flexible OLEDs will change the lighting industry and revolution the way we ...

Developing Genetic Tools to Mitigate the Environmental Impact of Dairy Systems (GreenhouseMilk)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

The EU25 produce approximately 132 million tonnes of milk from 24.3 million cows on 1.76 million farm holdings. Ruminant animals account for up to 20% of the world methane production with the EU25 dairy population producing approximately 3.2 million tonnes of methane (CH4) per year. Many EU countries have specific and binding commitments relating to the reduction of GHG emissions, and all sectors ...

"Development of low-cost, lightweight Highly Insulating Polymers for refrigerated transport, heating and cooling installations" (HIP)

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

...ost of less than €500 per cubic metre. Compared to conventional PU foam insulation, the savings will be considerable: Based on our predicted uptake in the refrigerated transport and solar thermal markets alone, the reduced CO2 emission will be over 200,000 tonnes by 2020 and our members will save in excess of €50 million in energy costs."

A common data exchange system for agricultural systems (AgriXchange)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Within the knowledge-based bio-economy, information sharing is an important issue. In agri-food business, this is a complex issue because many aspects and dimensions play a role. An installed base of information systems lack standardization, which hampers efficient exchange of information. This leads to inefficient business processes and hampers adoption of new knowledge and technology. Especially ...

Innovative and Practical Breeding Tools for Improved Dairy Products from More Robust Dairy Cattle (RobustMilk)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The objective of ROBUSTMILK is to develop new practical technologies to allow breeders to re-focus their selection to include milk quality and dairy cow robustness and to evaluate the consequences of selection for these traits taking cognisance of various milk production systems. Six research organisations, all with a strong network in the animal breeding industry, have agreed to share knowledge a ...

Biomarkers for post market monitoring of short and long-term effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on animal and human health (GMSAFOOD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The function of post market monitoring is to further assess possible nutritional and health effects of authorized GM foods on a mixed population of human and animal consumers. Currently, however, little is known about exposure levels, whether adverse effects are predictable, and the occurrence of any unexpected effects following market release of GM foods. Our objective is to identify a panel of a ...

Mechanisms of early protective exposures on allergy development (EFRAIM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

Allergy has developed into a major health concern in Europe. Allergic diseases can currently be managed effectively but not cured. The onset of allergies stars early in life and there is increasing evidence that exogenous factors affecting the incidence of these illnesses exert their effect early in life, in part even prenatally. The highly interdisciplinary EFRAIM project will prospectively inves ...
