Targeted disease prophylaxis in European fish farming (TargetFish)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 65.000 people with a turnover of 3 billion €. However, the lack of authorised veterinary medicinal products and the consequent disease outbreaks in farmed fish species costs the sector 20% of the production value. The most appropriate method for disease control, both on economical and ethical grounds, is disease prevention by vaccinatio ...

Impact of climate change and globalisation on safety of fresh produce – governing a supply chain of uncompromised food sovereignty (VEG-i-TRADE)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
VEG-i-TRADE provides platforms to identify impacts of anticipated climate change and globalisation on food safety, microbiological and chemical hazards, of fresh produce and derived food products. Control measures of managerial and technological nature will be developed in the supply chain of crop production, post-harvest processing and logistics to minimize food safety risks. The assessment of th ...

Unravelling the molecular basis of common complex human disorders using the dog as a model system (LUPA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
Despite major efforts, identifying susceptibility genes for common human diseases - cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory and neurological disorders - is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying causes. The dog population is composed of ~ 400 purebred breeds; each one is a genetic isolate with unique characteristics resulting from persistent selection for desired attributes or from geneti ...

Biomarkers for post market monitoring of short and long-term effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on animal and human health (GMSAFOOD)
Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The function of post market monitoring is to further assess possible nutritional and health effects of authorized GM foods on a mixed population of human and animal consumers. Currently, however, little is known about exposure levels, whether adverse effects are predictable, and the occurrence of any unexpected effects following market release of GM foods. Our objective is to identify a panel of a ...

ScanBalt Campus – a European model case for transnational and transectoral institution building in education, research and development. (ScanBalt Campus)
Start date: Mar 9, 2005, End date: Jun 8, 2007,
The basic concept of ScanBalt Campus is to deliver a framework for joint activities within ScanBalt Bioregion in knowledge formation and innovation and to increase the visibility of these actions. An important feature of ScanBalt Campus is that despite its focus on Biotech/life sciences, all activities should reflect a holistic view. This means that the educational training should also encompass a ...

Reason for the project:In a previous Leonardo pilot project (DASVENT) an accreditation system for veterinary nurse programmes has been set up successfully. Thanks to this system, it has become easier for veterinary nurses graduated from an accredited programme to find a job abroad. As part of this project, an agreed set of practical learning outcomes (the Dossier of European Competencies) was dev ...

RationaleThe acquisition of safe and effective clinical skills, that meet employer and (where relevant) professional regulator requirements, are key to veterinary nurse training. These skills are largely gained in the workplace and should be supported by robust support and quality systems. Expectations in relation to competence must also be explicit, readily understood and transferable across i ...
