Multifunctional Nanotechnology for selective detection and Treatment of cancer (MULTIFUN)
Start date: Jun 13, 2011, End date: Jun 12, 2015,
The aim of the MultiFun consortium is to develop and validate a novel and minimally-invasive nanotechnology system to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment. MultiFun nanotechnology is based on multifunctionalised magnetic nanoparticles to selectively target and eliminate breast and pancreatic cancer (stem) cells. The improved magnetic features of the MultiFun magnetic nanoparticles will lead to p ...

Virtual Physiological Human: Sharing for Healthcare - A Research Environment (VPH-Share)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,
VPH-Share will develop the organisational fabric (the infostructure) and integrate the optimised services to (1) expose and share data and knowledge, (2) jointly develop multiscale models for the composition of new VPH workflows, (3) facilitate collaborations within the VPH community. Four flagship workflows (from @neurIST, euHeart, VPHOP, Virolab) provide existing data, tools and models, engage w ...

Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research Infrastructure Network (ACTRIS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Climate change is for a large part governed by atmospheric processes, in particular the interaction between radiation and atmospheric components (e.g. aerosols, clouds, greenhouse and trace gases). Some of these components are also those with adverse health effects influencing air quality. Strengthening the ground-based component of the Earth Observing System for these key atmospheric variables ha ...

Demonstration & Deployment of a Commerical Scale Wave Energy Converter with an innovative Real Time Wave by Wave Tuning System (WAVEPORT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
In the Atlantic arc from Iceland to Portugal, Europe has some of the best natural wave resources in the world; with the total potential European ocean wave power estimated to be in the range 150 -240 TWh per annum. The main barrier to wave energy expansion is the lack of a large, commercial-scale demonstration of the technology. In addition, the efficiency of devices is limited and needs to be imp ...

Investigation of Si wafer damage in manufacturing processes (SIDAM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
Wafer handling in semiconductor manufacturing introduces microcracks at the wafer edge. During thermal processing, some of these grow into slip bands; on rapid thermal processing some of these grow into cracks, shattering the wafer and disrupting manufacture. Dense slip bands also lead to yield loss by locally increasing diffusion rates. Breakage losses alone were of the order of €2.5M p.a. for a ...
