SOLUTIONS: Sharing Opportunities for Low carbon Urban transporTatION (SOLUTIONS)
Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Transport is a key enabler of economic activity and social connectedness. While providing essential services to society and economy, transport is also an important part of the economy and it is at the core of a number of major sustainability challenges, in particular climate change, air quality, safety, energy security and efficiency in the use of resources (EC 2011: Transport White Paper).The ove ...

Type 2 diabetes and obesity among sub-Saharan African native and migrant populations: dissection of environment and endogenous predisposition (RODAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
"Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to Europe is increasing. The limited evidence suggests that the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity among SSA migrants is higher than among their SSA peers living in Africa and European host populations. The reasons for these observations are only poorly understood, but may involve migration-related changes in lifestyle, genetic predisposition as well ...

A Treatment-Oriented Research Project of NCL Disorders as a Major Cause of Dementia in Childhood (DEM-CHILD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
"The DEM-CHILD project focusses on the main cause for childhood dementia in Europe, the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The NCLs are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by dementia, blindness, epilepsy and physical decline leading to an early death of the patients. Since no cure is currently available, these disorders represent a serious social, medical, and economic challenge.To date, ...

Intensified Heat Transfer Technologies for Enhanced Heat Recovery (INTHEAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"A core part of this proposal is the development of methodologies to select and rigorously design the appropriate type of enhancement technology into energy optimisation studies to a practical level, whereby process plant engineers can plan and carry out plant energy reduction programmes in which they will have confidence. The project aims to achieve at least 20% to 30 % energy savings in the ener ...
