Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI (CENTER-TBI)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, leading to great personal suffering to victim and relatives, as well as huge direct and indirect costs to society. Strong ethical, medical, social and health economic reasons therefore exist for improving treatment. The CENTER-TBI project will collect a prospective, contemporary, highly granular, observational dataset of 5400 p ...

Functional wiring of the core neural network of innate fear (COREFEAR)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

Fear is an emotion that exerts powerful effects on our behavior and physiology. A large body of research implicates the amygdala in fear of painful stimuli, but virtually nothing is known about the circuits that support fear of predators and social threats, despite their primal importance in human behavior and pathology. Unlike painful stimuli, predator and social threats activate the medial hypot ...

THOR – Technical and Human Infrastructure for Open Research (THOR)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Five years ago, a global infrastructure to uniquely attribute to researchers their scientific artefacts (articles, data, software…) appeared technically and socially infeasible. Since then, DataCite has minted over 3.5m unique identifiers for data. ORCID has deployed an open solution for identification of contributors with over 850,000 registrants in less than 2 years. THOR will leverage these eme ...

Advanced Materials and Electric Swing Adsorption Process for CO2 Capture (MATESA)

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

"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the technological solutions to decarbonize the energy market while providing secure energy supply. So far, the cost of CCS is dominated by the CO2 capture, reason why new capture techniques should be developed.Adsorption techniques have already been evaluated for CO2 capture. So far, the main drawbacks of this technique are the energetic demand to regene ...

PREPARED “ENABLING CHANGE” (PREPARED)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

IPCC climate change scenarios have a global perspective and need to be scaled down to the local level, where decision makers have to balance risks and investment costs. Very high investments might be a waste of money and too little investment could result in unacceptable risk for the local community. PREPARED is industry driven, 12 city utilities are involved in the project and the RDT carried out ...

2-WHEELER BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY (2-BE-SAFE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Powered Two Wheeler (PTW) users are greatly over-involved in serious and fatal crashes. They have between 5 and 25 times the risk of having a fatal crash compared to car drivers, depending on the country. The number of PTWs on European roads has more than doubled over the last two decades. The recent MAIDS (Motorcycle Accident In-Depth Study) study of PTW crashes in Europe found that behavioural ...
