Combatting Bacterial Resistance in Europe (COMBACTE-NET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The emergence of Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a global problem, having recently been elevated to the top three threats identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), and subject of numerous national and international government activities, including the Trans-Atlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance established by the US and EU presidencies. The estimated costs of ARB are aro ...

Nanowires for Energy STorage (NEST)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"Among today challenges that of energy needs is one of the most important. An obvious question is its production but the need of energy storage systems is almost as large. Renewable energies will not have an impact unless we find an efficient way to store the electricity that they produce. Energy should be available everywhere and at any time, this translates in a strong need for energy containers ...

Novel IΟnic LΙquid and supported ionic liquid solvents for reversible CAPture of CO2 (IOLICAP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The current requirements of the Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCC) technology are: a) Reducing the parasitic energy load, b) Effectively addressing corrosion, c) Faster absorption/stripping rates, d) Less viscosity and less use of water, e) Confronting the problem of solvent degradation and volatility. These problems pose stimulating challenges for the synthesis of new solvents, aided by detailed m ...

"Skill-based Propagation of ""Plug&Produce""-Devices in Reconfigurable Production Systems by AML" (SKILLPRO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"It is increasingly evident that the era of mass production is being replaced by the era of market niches. The key to creating products that can meet the demands of a diversified customer base is a short development cycle yielding low cost, high quality goods in sufficient quantity to meet demand. This makes flexibility an increasingly important attribute to manufacturing.In response the reconfigu ...

Expanding EPNOE leadership towards Food and Health related materials, and increasing industrial participation (EPNOE CSA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The need for a transition towards a CO2 neutral biobased economy or bioeconomy, increasing population and globalisation of economies will have the consequence of a need for enhanced supplies of biobased resources. To this end, polysaccharides will be at the central point of the world of tomorrow for sustainable fuel, food, materials and medicine production. EPNOE (European Polysaccharide Network o ...
