European Centre for Risk Management and Safe Innovation in Nanomaterials Nanotechnologies (EC4SafeNano)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

A significant challenge to ensuring sustainable production and use of nanotechnologies is to understand safety and health risks of the technology and its end-products, and to implement practical strategies to manage these risks. Knowledge is growing rapidly, but effective use of this knowledge for risk management is lagging behind. We therefore need to bridge the gap between knowledge on hazard an ...

Novel IΟnic LΙquid and supported ionic liquid solvents for reversible CAPture of CO2 (IOLICAP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The current requirements of the Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCC) technology are: a) Reducing the parasitic energy load, b) Effectively addressing corrosion, c) Faster absorption/stripping rates, d) Less viscosity and less use of water, e) Confronting the problem of solvent degradation and volatility. These problems pose stimulating challenges for the synthesis of new solvents, aided by detailed m ...

Total Operation management for Safety Critical Activities (TOSCA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Over the recent past the accumulation of major mishaps, crises and accidents have made it clear that organisations must still improve their capabilities to address safety “not a stand-alone activity that is separate from the main activities and processes of the organization” but as an integrated part of critical project management. Further it is critical also to understand how weaknesses not only ...

HYBRID ABLATIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR RE-ENTRY IN PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC THERMAL PROTECTION (HYDRA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The aim of this proposal is the development of TPS for their use in space applications with extreme oxidative environments and high temperature resistance, such as hot parts of space vehicles for orbital entry (ARV), planetary probes and NEO exploration. Previous studies on ARV vehicle have shown that TPS hybrid systems based on ablators integrated with thermo-structural materials are good candida ...

Development of A Cost Efficient Policy Tool for reduction of Particulate Matter in AIR (ACEPT-AIR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

Background Despite improvements in air quality, levels of particulate matter (PM) remain a concern across the European Union. Evidence shows that fine particulates (PM2.5) are the most detrimental to human health, but coarser fractions (PM of 2.5 to 10 μm diameter) are also problematic. An EU directive proposing comprehensive monitoring of ambient levels ...

TAILoring photon-phonon interaction in silicon PHOXonic crystals (TAILPHOX)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

TAILPHOX project addresses the design and implementation of Silicon phoXonic crystal structures that allow a simultaneous control of both photonic and phononic waves. The final goal is to push the performance of optical devices well beyond the state of the art by this radically new approach. By merging both fields (nanophotonics and nanophononics) within a same platform, novel unprecedented contro ...

IMProving ACcess to Text (IMPACT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Description IMPACT will push innovation in OCR and language technologies for historical document processing and retrieval and build digitisation capacity in EuropeText that is not digital is virtually invisible. Today's readers search the internet for electronically accessible texts rather than visit the reading room of a library. Born-di ...

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE III (EGEE-III)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2010,

A globally distributed computing Grid now plays an essential role for large-scale, data intensive science in many fields of research. The concept has been proven viable through the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE project (EGEE and EGEE-II, 2004-2008) and its related projects. EGEE-II is consolidating the operations and middleware of this Grid for use by a wide range of scientific communities, such as ...
