Neuropathic pain: biomarkers and druggable targets within the endogenous analgesia system (NEUROPAIN)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Neuropathic pain has a high incidence in Europe and often affects the patient’s emotional balance and quality of life. Recent meta-analyses have shown that conventional analgesic drugs are not sufficiently effective in these patients and are limited by serious side effects. The search for new analgesics is extremely difficult despite identification of several new potential targets and enormous inv ...

Improved Service Life Prediction and Test Capability for Wood Coatings (SERVOWOOD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"The paints, coatings and varnishes manufacturing sector in Europe is worth an estimated €20billion, supporting approximately 4130 SMEs and is responsible for employing 59,600 people within these SMEs. In particular, the wood coatings sector is facing a number of threats. The sector is coming under increasing pressure from low cost imports from Asia that have low solids content and subsequently po ...

Emulating the C. elegans nervous system: A blueprint for brain-inspired computational architectures (Si elegans)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Biological neural systems are powerful, robust and highly adaptive computational entities that outperform conventional computers in almost all aspects of sensory-motor integration. Despite dramatic progress in information technology, there is a big performance discrepancy between artificial systems and brains in seemingly simple orientation and navigation tasks. In fact, no system exists that can ...

Anaglyptic Refreshable Photo-Haptic Screen (Anagraphs)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The scientific and technological developments in the present research project will be to make possible the manufacture of an anaglyptic or tactile display that can be connected to a personal computer or used in stand-alone mode as a Braille e-book reader. The display may be read either by touch or indeed by sight, since the tactile dots will also be illuminated when active. This feature will be of ...
