Ensuring STABiLIty in organic Solar cells (ESTABLIS)

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

The Earth receives the energy in 1 hour required for all human needs in a year. Harvesting solar energy will reduce harmful CO2 emissions and resolve the forthcoming energy deficit that other sources alone cannot make up. The market for stable, cheap, roll-to-roll mass-produced organic solar cells (OSCs) is estimated at 1 billion Euros by 2016. The ITN ESTABLIS will produce a team of 11 ESRs and 4 ...

Replacement and Original Magnet Engineering Options (ROMEO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Permanent magnets are vital components in an enormous number of domestic and industrial devices, and they are particularly crucial within the rapidly-developing renewable energy sector, where the motors for electric vehicles and the generators in wind turbines require strong magnets with the ability to operate at temperatures well over 100°C. Currently, these magnets are based on the rare earth el ...

Wood chip feeding technology of the future for small-scale biomass boilers (BIOCHIPFEEDING)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Presently about 0.7 Mio small-scale biomass boilers are sold in Europe per year and until 2020 an increase to 1.6 Mio is expected whereas wood chip boilers are one main technology. With these wood chip boilers the fuel feeding systems applied are still a considerable weak point. They are responsible for 80 to 90% of unexpected plant shutdowns, increased emissions and reduced efficiencies. Moreover ...

"Self-learning modular manufacturing platform for flexible, patient-specific cell production" (MANUCYTE)

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

"Personalized medicine (e.g. regenerative, such as cell therapy or patient-specific tested and composed pharmaceuticals) has huge potential. But to exploit this potential, it is necessary to produce human cells patient-specific in industrial scale. Nowadays, personalized cell production is only executed by means of manual processing on laboratory scale. In Order to make patient-specific production ...
