Optimized esterase biocatalysts for cost-effective industrial production (OPTIBIOCAT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

"OPTIBIOCAT is a 48 months project aimed at developing biocatalysts based on feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and glucuronoyl esterases (GEs) for production of phenolic fatty- and sugar- esters with antioxidant activity for cosmetic industry, expanding the number/type of industrial biotransformations. Selected FAEs and GEs available within the consortium will be improved for their thermo- and solvent- re ...

Efficient ice protection Systems and simulation Techniques Of ice Release on propulsive systeMs (STORM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Icing conditions are one of the most severe for aircraft and engines as experienced in the certification process and in-service events. Certification tests are never simple because icing phenomena is a very complex domain and designers have access to a very low level of prediction capability compare to other fields, mainly relying on a very fragmented knowledge based on empirical past experience. ...

Social Dynamics in Urban Residential Neighbourhoods. The Cases of Estonian and Swedish Cities (SOCURB)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Mar 29, 2017,

"In many European countries extensive welfare provisions have significantly declined since the 1980s/90s. The de-regulation and marketisation processes have been especially remarkable in the Central and East-European post-socialist countries. These processes have affected growing social disparities, and have often also caused the growth of socio-spatial disparities between urban neighbourhoods. Si ...

More Affordable Aircraft structure through eXtended, Integrated, and Mature nUmerical Sizing (MAAXIMUS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Even though composite materials are more and more used in modern airframes, many significant improvements are still achievable. Firstly, the substitution of the assembly of many small composite parts by a single one-shot large part provides additional weight reduction. Secondly, the final assembly line process must be adapted to composite properties (lack of ductility, stiffness). Thirdly, if the ...

ACTINET Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (ACTINET-I3)

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

"Actinides play a central role in the nuclear energy generation systems. In order to keep a leading position in the field of nuclear energy – both in terms of safety and efficient use of natural resources – Europe needs to reinforce its expertise and to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers who will be able to contribute to develop actinide management strategies based on sound sc ...

Infrafrontier The European infrastructure for phenotyping and archiving of model mammalian genomes (INFRAFRONTIER)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Medically related Life Sciences use the mouse as a model system to understand the molecular basis of health and disease in humans (>95% similarity of genes in humans and mice). An essential task for Biomedical Sciences in the 21st century will be the functional analysis of mouse models for every gene in the mammalian genome. The major bottlenecks identified by the user community will be proper ...

Vehicle Independent Electric Transmission Architectures (VIETA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Road transport is key driver of the European economy, and it underpins societal development and our way of life. It accounts for 11% of total European GDP and is a major contributor to EU employment and the competitiveness of many other industrial sectors This project, involving two SMEs and one University, concerns a rapid development of a European capability in electric drivetrains for low-car ...
