ICTethics. An Interdisciplinary Approach for Addressing Ethical, Social and Legal Aspects of ICT (ICTethics)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
"There is an urgent need for a systematic analysis of the ESLA aspects of Research in ICT, of the same type as developed by the ESLA (Ethical Social and Legal Aspects) working group on biotechnology, established by the European Commission in the early 1990s. Some ESLA-like reflection on ICT is ongoing, but is fragmented and ad hoc. It risks lagging behind technological developments that are alread ...

Neutrons for Membrane Protein Structure, Interactions, and Assembly (NeMPSIA)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
Understanding membrane protein structure, interaction between these proteins and lipids, and how membrane proteins assemble in the membrane are as of yet unsolved problems of structural biology. This proposal aims to further our understanding in these areas by uniquely combining structural and biophysical data obtained from nuclear magnetic resonance experiments (Straus` area of expertise) with ne ...

"Conflicting demands of land use, soil biodiversity and the sustainable delivery of ecosystem goods and services in Europe" (SOILSERVICE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
"European soil biodiversity is pivotal for delivering food, fiber and biofuels and carbon storage. However, the demand is greater than the amount of soil available, as production of biofuels competes with areas for food production and nature. Moreover, intensified land use reduces soil biodiversity and the resulting ecosystem services. SOILSERVICE will value soil biodiversity through the impact on ...

a Transdisciplinary approach to the Emerging CHallenges of NOvel technologies: Lifeworld and Imaginaries in Foresight and Ethics (TECHNOLIFE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"The TECHNOLIFE project will approach the SiS 5.1.1.2 call by developing new ethical frameworks to address ethical concerns of Europeans in relation to three technological fields: ICTs, Geographical Imaging Systems and converging technologies to enhance the human body. It will supply valuable insights on how issues of ethical concern to groups, publics and citizens can be considered in EC policy i ...
