Distributed, integrated and harmonised forest information for bioeconomy outlooks (DIABOLO)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
Europe’s bioeconomy is expected to foster economic growth and to tackle significant societal challenges with less harmful environmental effects through innovative, sustainable and inclusive use of European forest resources. Increasing demand for biomass and other ecosystem goods and services calls for changes in forest-related policies at different levels and across different sectors. Accordingly, ...

Development and Demonstration of Highly Insulating, Construction Materials from Bio-derived Aggregates (ISOBIO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
The ISOBIO project will develop a new approach to insulating materials through the novel combination of existing bio-derived aggregates with low embodied carbon with innovative binders to produce durable composite construction materials. These novel composites will target 50% lower embodied energy and carbon than traditional oil based insulation panels, and will increase thermal insulation compare ...

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 ...

Harmonised European Land Monitoring (HELM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"The land surface is a decisive factor regarding the state of the environment and human well-being. To manage it well, regularly obtained up do date information on land use and land cover is needed. Land monitoring provides this information through thematic maps based on the interpretation of areal photography, satellite imagery and further sources. These maps aid spatial planning, nature protecti ...

Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming systems (BioBio)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Organic and low-input farming systems have been shown to benefit farmland biodiversity although a generic indicator system to assess these benefits at the European level is lacking. The BIOBIO project will therefore pursue the following objectives: 1. Conceptualization of criteria for a scientifically-based selection of biodiversity indicators for organic/low-input farming systems; 2. Assessment ...
