"A new integrative framework for the study of fish welfare based on the concepts of allostasis, appraisal and coping styles" (COPEWELL)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"COPEWELL aims to provide a better understanding of the underpinning mechanisms and basic knowledge about the physiology, biology, and behaviour of fishes and to give a deeper understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in coping styles. We will use an innovative hypothesis-driven multidisciplinary approach that aims to explore the links between brain function, behaviour and adaptive plastici ...

Enhancing resource Uptake from Roots under stress in cereal crops (EUROOT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The overall goal of EURoot is to help farmers to face both climate change, which is expected to result in increasingly uneven rainfall, and meet the societal demand for sustainable agriculture with reduced use of water and fertilizers. EURoot objective is to enhance the cereal plant capability to acquire water and nutrients through their roots and maintain growth and performance under stress condi ...

implementation of a TOXicity assessment Tool for pRActical evaluation of life-cycle Impacts of techNologies (TOX-TRAIN) (TOX-TRAIN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

"TOX-TRAIN is a 4-year project and its main objective is the development and implementation of a tool box to assess toxicological impacts related to the life-cycle of technologies. The USEtox model, developed under UNEP-SETAC auspices with contributions of the partners in this consortium, will be taken as a starting point. First, TOX-TRAIN will develop and implement estimation tools for emissions ...

Composing Learning for Artificial Cognitive Systems (CompLACS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Description One of the aspirations of machine learning is to develop intelligent systems that can address a wide variety of control problems of many different types. Currently, the technology used to specify, solve and analyse one control problem typically cannot be reused on a different problem. The purpose of CompLACS is to develop a unifi ...

Supermodeling by combining imperfect models (SUMO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Scientists develop computer models of real, complex systems to increase understanding of their behaviour and make predictions. A prime example is the Earth's climate. Complex climate models are used to compute the climate change in response to expected changes in the composition of the atmosphere due to man-made emissions. Years of research have improved the ability to simulate the climate of the ...

Development and application of standardized methodology for the PROspective SUstaInability assessment of TEchnologies (PROSUITE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The main goal of PROSUITE is to develop a framework methodology, operational methods and tools for the sustainability assessment of current and future technologies over their life cycle, applicable to different stages of maturity. The project will apply the methodology for four technology cases with close consultation of the stakeholders involved, which includes cases from biorefineries, nanotech ...

Environmental Chemoinformatics (ECO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"The implementation of the new EU legislation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals (REACH) requires demonstration of the safe manufacture of chemicals and their safe use throughout the supply chain. REACH encourages development of new in vitro test methods and replacement of animal tests wherever possible by alternative methods. These goals are not ac ...

Primary hypoxia signalling in plants (HYPOXSI)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The proposal presented here will allow the candidate to reintegrate, work on a cutting-edge scientific study and successfully develop his newly established independent research group.The project aims to investigate a key process in plant stress responses, namely how plants sense the oxygen availability and modify gene expression in response. Oxygen is a necessity for most forms of life. To be abl ...
