MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE STRESSORS ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS UNDER WATER SCARCITY (GLOBAQUA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Water and water-related services are major components of the human wellbeing, and as such are major factors of socio-economic development in Europe; yet freshwater systems are under threat by a variety of stressors (organic and inorganic pollution, geomorphological alterations, land cover change, water abstraction, invasive species and pathogens. Some stressors, such as water scarcity, can be a st ...

Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)

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

Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

Event Prediction and Decision Support based on Huge Data from Physical-Social Systems (EPPICS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

Miniaturisation, progress with energy issues and cost reductions have resulted in rapid growth in deployment of networked devices and sensors, very strongly connecting the internet with the physical world. With wide adoption of smartphones and social media, also people have become key sources of information about the physical world, corresponding events and the intents and plans of many individual ...

From atom-to-Device Explicit simulation Environment for Photonics and Electronics Nanostructures (DEEPEN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"DEEPEN will develop an integrated open source multiscale simulation environment, targeted at problems common to future nanoscale electronic and photonic devices. New device simulators require an atomic-scale description of selected critical regions of a transistor or LED to capture details otherwise inaccessible. They must also resolve the considerable uncertainty in many critical parameters requ ...

Technology Transfer in Computing Systems (TETRACOM)

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

The mission of the TETRACOM Coordination Action is to boost European academia-to-industry technology transfer (TT) in all domains of Computing Systems. While many other European and national initiatives focus on training of entrepreneurs and support for start-up companies, the key differentiator of TETRACOM is a novel instrument called Technology Transfer Project (TTP). TTPs help to lower the barr ...

Toolbox Implementation for Removal of Anti-personnel Mines, Submunitions and UXO (TIRAMISU)

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

Clearing large civilian areas from anti-personnel landmines and cluster munitions is a difficult problem because of the large diversity of hazardous areas and explosive contamination. A single solution does not exist and many mine action actors have asked for a toolbox from which they could choose the tools best fit to a given situation. Some have built their own toolboxes, usually specific to som ...

Building Resilience Amongst Communities in Europe (EMBRACE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

In an interdisciplinary, socially inclusive and collaborative context, emBRACE aims to improve the framing of resilience in the context of disasters in Europe. It will develop a conceptual and methodological approach to clarify how the resilience capacity of a society confronted with natural hazards and disasters can be characterized, defined and measured. On the basis of a systematic evaluation o ...

Intelligent Mold for Productivity Enhancement (Mold4ProdE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The constant demand for diversified/personalised consumers' goods leads to decrease time-to-market, and to plastic injection molds with smaller batch production, with no stock acceptable for cost and quality reasons. This generates huge productivity losses in the molding industry: - Tool Tuning is too long for tool makers before delivery of a turn key mold. - New production run set-up time is too ...

InContext: Individuals in Context: Supportive Environments for Sustainable Living (InContext)

Start date: Oct 15, 2010, End date: Oct 14, 2013,

InContext will investigate drivers and barriers for sustainability and their interplay on an individual and collective level. InContext assumes that both individual and collective behaviours respond to an external context (like social norms, policies, and infrastructure) and an internal context (like needs, values and priorities). So far, initiatives to further sustainable development have focused ...
