The Urban Sound Planner (SONORUS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Traffic noise pollution in urban areas is a major environmental problem within the European Union. Creating an acceptable acoustic outdoor environment is a big challenge of high need. Creating as well as preserving environments, which are supportive for health and well-being in a sustainable manner is an even bigger but unavoidable task. In order to succeed, specialists are required with a broad ...

Rapid deployable kits as seeds for self-recovery (S(P)EEDKITS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Humanitarian organisations like the Red Cross have sleeping emergency response units (ERU), which start acting immediately after disaster strikes. Each ERU has a specific function, e.g. medical care, sanitation, energy provision, or water supply.Current equipment solutions will be scanned and bottlenecks with respect to large volumes and/or heavy weight will be identified. Then, novel materials an ...

Vegetation and urban air quality: CFD evaluation of vegetation effects on pollutant dispersion (VEG-AIR)

Start date: Mar 31, 2012, End date: Mar 30, 2014,

"Air quality in the urban environment is gaining increasing attention by city authorities and residents due to rising urbanization and growing individual traffic. One important aspect in today's urban design and planning is to make cities favorable for the natural ventilation enabling a fast dispersal and removal of air pollutants emitted by traffic and buildings. Green spaces play an important ro ...

Nano-particle products from new mineral resources in Europe (PROMINE)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The objectives of the ProMine IP address the Commission’s concerns over the annual 11 billion € trade deficit in metal and mineral imports. Europe has to enhance the efficiency of its overall production chain putting higher quality and added value products on the market. ProMine focuses on two parts of this chain, targeting extractive and end-user industries. Upstream, the first ever Pan-EU GIS b ...

Integrated Roof Wind Energy System (IRWES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"Wind is an attractive renewable source of energy. Recent innovations in research and design have stagnated to a few alternatives with limited impact on residential construction. Cost effective solutions have been found at larger scale, but storage and delivery of energy to the actual location where it is used remains a critical issue. This proposal attempts to explore the physics, engineering and ...

Superior Energy and Power Density Li-Ion Microbatteries (SUPERLION)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"On-board microbattery power is fast becoming essential in many of today’s emerging technologies. Down-scaling in the micro-electronic industry has far outpaced advances in small-scale electrical power supplies. The absence of on-board power is a hinder to advances in many critical areas: micro-electronic devices and biomedical micro-machines. However, nano-materials and -structures provide new re ...
