Performance-based Innovation Rewards (REWARD)

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

REWARD will open up new horizons in complementing the international intellectual property rights (IPR) system. The project's ambitious output is an ethically and legally sound performance-based reward mechanism for pharmaceutical innovation, which complements the existing patent regime, yet mitigates its considerable disadvantages for the global poor.The current IPR system impedes access to life-s ...

Technology Options for Coupled Underground Coal Gasification and CO2 Capture and Storage (TOPS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

The main objective of the proposed project is to develop a generic UCG-CCS site characterisation workflow, and the accompanying technologies, which would address the dilemma faced by the proponents of reactor zone CO2 storage, and offer technological solutions to source sink mismatch issues that are likely to be faced in many coalfields. This objective will be achieved through integrated research ...

Non-intrusive Optical Pressure and Loads Extraction for Aerodynamic Analysis (NIOPLEX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

NIOPLEX will contribute to the development of non-intrusive experimental flow diagnostics to improve the aerodynamic analysis capabilities in wind tunnels. The particular objective of the project is to develop an unprecedented comprehensive diagnostic approach, achieved by a simultaneous measurement of the surface pressure distribution on a model and the velocity and pressure field around it. Curr ...

A Preparatory phase proposal for the Square Kilometre Array (PrepSKA)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be one of the largest scientific projects ever undertaken. It is a machine designed to answer some of the big questions of our time: what is Dark Energy? Was Einstein right about gravity? What is the nature of dark matter? Can we detect gravitational waves? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What was the origin of cosmic magnetism? How do Eart ...
