Factories of the Future Resources, Technology, Infrastructure and Services for Simulation and Modelling (FORTISSIMO)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The importance of advanced simulation to the competitiveness of both large and small companies is well established. The principal objective of Fortissimo is to enable European manufacturing, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), to benefit from the efficiency and competitive advantage inherent in the use of simulation. However, the simulation of, for example, high-pressure gas cylinders ...

A European volcanological supersite in Iceland: a monitoring system and network for the future (FUTUREVOLC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The main objectives of FUTUREVOLC are to establish an integrated volcanological monitoring procedure through European collaboration, develop new methods to evaluate volcanic crises, increase scientific understanding of magmatic processes and improve delivery of relevant information to civil protection and authorities. To reach these objectives the project combines broad European expertise in seism ...

"A new, ground based data-assimilative modeling of the Earth's plasmasphere - a critical contribution to Radiation Belt modeling for Space Weather purposes" (PLASMON)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

"The security of space assets are affected by the high-energy charged particle environment in the radiation belts. The controlling principal source and loss mechanisms in the radiation belts are not yet completely understood. During a geomagnetic storm the length of time during which space assets are in danger is determined by the loss mechanisms, particularly by relativistic electron precipitatio ...

Reducing Emissions from Aviation by Changing Trajectories for the benefit of Climate (REACT4C)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

"The collaborative project REACT4C (Reducing Emissions from Aviation by Changing Trajectories for the benefit of Climate) has the objectives: (1) to explore the feasibility of adopting flight altitudes and flight routes that lead to reduced fuel consumption and emissions, and lessen the environmental impact; (2) to estimate the overall global effect of such ATM measures in terms of climate change. ...

Assessment of Climatic change and impacts on the Quantity and quality of Water (ACQWA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

As the evidence for human induced climate change becomes clearer, so too does the realization that its effects will have impacts on natural environment and socio-economic systems. Some regions are more vulnerable than others, both to physical changes and to the consequences for ways of life. The proposal will assess the impacts of a changing climate on the quantity and quality of water in mountain ...

Nano-structured TiON Photo-Catalytic Membranes for Water Treatment (NATIOMEM)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

More than 1.2 billion people, mostly in poor regions, suffer from water scarcity, due to a global shortfall of potable water caused by population growth, over-exploitation, and pollution. NATIOMEM proposes to alleviate this by developing novel technology for treating contaminated surface and waste water so that it will be potable. This technology will not require electrical power, chemicals or oth ...
