An international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere and re-entry research (QB50)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

...hed together to low earth orbit. Due to atmospheric drag, the orbits of the CubeSats will decay and progressively lower and lower layers of the thermosphere will be explored without the need for on-board propulsion, perhaps down to 200 km. QB50 will be among the first CubeSat networks in orbit

Human stem cell applications for the treatment of hearing loss (OTOSTEM)

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

Hearing impairment is the most frequent human sensory deficit and is mainly caused by the irreversible loss of neurosensory cells in the cochlea. The lack of human otic cell models represents a significant roadblock that has hampered the development of drug-based or cell-based therapies for the treatment of hearing loss. In a collaborative effort under this proposal we wish to devise approaches to ...

RHINOS - Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System will define a GNSS-based system to support the localization of trains respecting the challenging requirements of the railway safety standards. (RHINOS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

RHINOS aims at increasing the use of EGNSS to support the safety-critical train localization function for train control in emerging regional and global markets. RHINOS adds value to EGNSS by leveraging the results from prior or existing projects, and develops a Railway High Integrity Navigation Overlay System to be used by the rail community. RHINOS pillar is the GNSS infrastructure realized for t ...

Infectious triggers of chronic autoimmunity (INTRICATE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

This proposal builds on existing expertise and collaborations of a multidisciplinary Consortium of basic scientists and clinical investigators each of whom has made a substantial individual contribution to understanding the links between infection and autoimmunity. The aim of the INTRICATE Consortium is to prosecute a programme of Translational Research that deliniates the role of infection in the ...

Tools for minimally invasive diagnostics (DiaTools)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

A new generation of molecular tools is becoming available that can digitally record numbers, identities and locations of a broad range of molecular markers for increased diagnostic accuracy. This project will for the first time combine synergistically several groundbreaking technological innovations by the partners, notably padlock and proximity probes with rolling circle amplification for single ...

Physics Beyond the Standard Model at the LHC and with Atom Interferometers (BSMOXFORD)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

Elementary particle physics is entering a spectacular new era in which experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will soon start probing some of the deepest questions in physics, such as: Why is gravity so weak? Do elementary particles have substructure? What is the origin of mass? Are there new dimensions? Can we produce black holes in the lab? Could there be other universes with dif ...

Research into Impacts and Safety in CO2 Storage (RISCS) (RISCS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Although significant leakage from CO2 storage sites is not expected, if it did occur there could be adverse environmental consequences, which are not well constrained. The objective of RISCS is to provide fundamental research on environmental impacts, necessary to underpin frameworks for the safe management of CO2 storage sites. To achieve this, RISCS will quantitatively assess environmental impa ...

Open Flow in Europe: Linking Infrastructure and Applications (OFELIA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The aim of the OFELIA project is to create a unique experimental facility that allows researchers to not only experiment 'on' a test network but to control the network itself precisely and dynamically. To achieve this, the OFELIA facility is based on OpenFlow, a currently emerging networking technology that allows to virtualize and control the network environment through secure and standardized in ...

Social Interaction and Entrainment using Music PeRformance Experimentation (SIEMPRE)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

SIEMPRE develops research theoretical and methodological frameworks, computational models, and algorithms for the analysis of creative communication within groups of people, important also for future ICT (e.g. social media, on-line and mobile communities, web 2.0). Focus is on ensemble musical performance and audience experience, ideal testbed for the development of models and techniques for measu ...

VPHOP-SIMBIOS cooperation: Tools to develop the NeuroMusculoSkeletal Physiome (NMS Physiome)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

The musculoskeletal apparatus is probably the organ system where the need for the integrative approach advocated by the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) initiative is most pronounced. The neuromotor control involves the entire body, whereas the processes involved in muscle twitching, bones and muscle adaptation, musculoskeletal aging, and in most musculoskeletal diseases take place at the molecul ...

Decentralized communication, the physical or mathematical limitations and the possibilities for several wireless ports communicating with other wireless nodes (DecComm)

Start date: Jun 11, 2009, End date: Jun 10, 2012,

In this fellowship I intend to investigate the performance of a wireless network, with the emphasis on the connection points between the wireless ports and the wireline networks. Provided that wireless signals travel through the air, and thus are received by multiple receptions, where each may be connected to the wireline network or even further to other wireless network, significant benefits in t ...
