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 ...

Promoting a functional and comparative understanding of the conifer genome- implementing applied aspects for more productive and adapted forests (PROCOGEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

In the midst of a climatic change scenario, the genetics of adaptive response in conifers becomes essential to ensure a sustainable management of genetic resources and an effective breeding. Conifers are the target of major tree breeding efforts worldwide. Advances in molecular technologies, such as next-generation DNA sequencing technologies, could have an enormous impact on the rate of progres ...

Smart tools for the Prescription of orthopaedic Insoles and Footwear (SMARTPIF)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

The project is based on an identified market gap: podiatrists often lack knowledge and experimental data to decide which specific shoe-insole combination-and their corresponding materials-are suitable for a patient. The project aims at developing a set of computer tools to assist a podiatrist in achieving the best therapeutic prescription for a patient. SMARTPIF will provide them with a tool to ob ...

Pilot project for the dismantling and decontamination of discarded boats (Recyship)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Background A ship reaches the end of it working life after 20-30 years and is sold as scrap and dismantled to recover the steel. Almost 90% can be reused as high-quality steel. The problem is that the remaining 10% contains high quantities of dangerous waste. In the 1970s, ships were dismantled in European ports. It was a complex and mechanised industrial ...

Pilot RFID Deployments and ROI Studies for SME using Open Source Middleware and Tools (RFID-ROI-SME)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,

The main goal of RFID-ROI-SME is to deploy, coordinate and disseminate a number (i.e. 12) of European pilots targeting multiple sectors across six (6) European countries, with a view to assisting European SMEs in understanding and fully leveraging the potential benefits of RFID technology. In the scope of these pilots RFID-ROI-SME will:-Study the potential benefits of RFID deployment in various se ...
