Resource Preservation by Application of BIOefFECTORs in European Crop Production (BIOFECTOR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

BIOFECTOR is an integrated project that develops alternative fertilisation strategies by the use of various bio-effectors (BEs, plant growth promoting microorganisms and natural extraction products). BEs stimulate root growth, solubilise and mineralise sparingly available nutrients, or protect plants from abiotic and biotic stresses. Novel BEs will be isolated, characterized and applied in strateg ...

Stevia rebaudiana as a diversification alternative for European Tobacco Farmers to strengthen the European Competitiveness (GO4STEVIA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The CAP reform for the tobacco sector (EG Nr. 864/2004) has the aim to phase out the subsidy payment for tobacco cultivation on Dec 31, 2013. This will have a great impact on the tobacco growers in terms of income and employment. Without a diversification alternative with a high added value most of European Tobacco farms must close. The DIVTOB and the CoAlTa-Project on diversification of Tobacco f ...

Enhanced protein fractionation from protein sources for their use in special food applications (WHEY2FOOD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Whey is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and is considered a promising raw material for various commercial applications due to its high-value components (e.g. proteins) and its large availability. Around 81 million tons of liquid whey was produced by the approximately 150,000 European cheesemakers in EU-27 in 2011. However, according to the European Whey Products Association (EW ...

The social fabric of virtual life: A longitudinal multi-method study on the social foundations of online gaming (SOFOGA)

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

Online games have developed into mainstream entertainment: a growing number of gamers communicate and interact in virtual worlds - and spend a good part of their spare time there. However, research has yet to adequately acknowledge this socio-cultural shift toward the mainstream: psychological 'effects' studies and anecdotal case descriptions remain the dominant approaches. The proposed research p ...

Towards inclusive research programming for sustainable food innovations (INPROFOOD)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Over the past decade, most EU Member States have identified food and health as key priorities. This is in response to increases in obesity and diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases amongst their populations. Also an insufficient nutrient supply in subgroups of the populations and special demands in ageing societies are identified as abiding challenges. Attempts ...
