Coordinating and integRating state-of-the-art Earth Observation Activities in the regions of North Africa, Middle East, and Balkans and Developing Links with GEO related initiatives towards GEOSS (GEO-CRADLE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

GEO-CRADLE brings together key players representing the whole (Balkans, N. Africa and M. East) region and the complete EO value chain with the overarching objective of establishing a multi-regional coordination network that will (i) support the effective integration of existing EO capacities (space/air-borne/in-situ monitoring networks, modelling and data exploitation skills, and past project expe ...

European Asthma Research and Innovation Partnership (EARIP)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Europe has 30 million people with asthma, whose treatment costs about €20 bn annually. Productivity lost through poor asthma control in Europe is estimated to be €9.8 bn per year. By 2020 approximately 120,000 people in Europe will die from asthma attacks, and 4 million hospitalisations will be needed for the most severely affected.The Objectives of EARIP (European Asthma Research and Innovation P ...

Post-infectious immune reprogramming and its association with persistence and chronicity of respiratory allergic diseases (PreDicta)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Chronic inflammatory diseases associated with allergy, including asthma and rhinitis, constitute a major and continuously growing public health concern for Europe. However, the causative factors and mechanisms converting a physiological inflammatory reaction to a chronic response triggering allergic disease remain elusive.Viral infections, particularly those caused by human rhinoviruses (RV) are t ...

Training Network for the Development of Bacterial ExoPolysaccharides for the treatment of Inflammatory Conditions (TEAM-EPIC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"The essence of this proposal is to establish a collaborative training network which will develop novel immune-regulatory molecules from Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, for treatment of inflammatory diseases. A multidisciplinary team of four prestigious European partners has been assembled (SME & Coordinator - Alimentary Health Ltd (expert in developing probiotic products); Swiss Institute for Ast ...

First European Comprehensive SOLar Irradiance Data exploitation (SOLID)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Variations of solar irradiance are the most important natural factor in the terrestrial climate and as such, the time dependent spectral solar irradiance is a crucial input to any climate modelling. There have been previous efforts to compile solar irradiance but it is still uncertain by how much the spectral and total solar irradiance changed on yearly, decadal and longer time scales. Observation ...

Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...

Environment for Human Exploration and RObotic Experimentation in Space (eHEROES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The consortium e-HEROES aims at exploiting the existing data gathered on severalEuropean and international space missions, and to produce new value-added dataproducts to provide the best estimate and prediction of the threats thatmissions of exploration will encounter in reaching beyond the Earth orbit, tothe Moon, to Mars and beyond. The scope of the project is to characterise theenvironment in s ...

"Fungi in the setting of inflammation, allergy and autoimmune diseases:Translating basic science into clinical practices" (ALLFUN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,

"The ALLFUN proposal aims at defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which ubiquitous airborne or commensal fungi contribute to immune homeostasis and its dysregulation leading to allergy and inflammatory diseases. Breakthroughs in understanding how mucosal homeostasis is established, maintained or disrupted in the presence of fungi should be sources of new therapeutic targets and drugs ...

Signaling Mechanisms Intersecting Histamine Receptors and Pattern Recognition Receptor Activation in Dendritic Cells (DC-Signal)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

The immune response is a tightly regulated process which normally results in protection from infection and tolerance of innocuous environmental antigens. However, in allergy and asthma, the activated immune response results in a chronic pro-inflammatory state characterized by T cell Th2 polarization to normally well-tolerated antigens resulting in tissue inflammation and tissue remodeling. Dendr ...

SOlar-TERrestrial Investigations and Archives (SOTERIA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The proposed project realizes a wide synergy in the fields of solar- space- and geophysics to achieve a higher level of processed data and better understanding of solar and space events having terrestrial impact. The study of these events has an increasing importance with the increasing amount of technical equipment (e.g. power lines and telecommunication satellites) that can be damaged during th ...
