Adaptive Cooperative Control in Urban (sub) Systems (ACCUS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Urban systems like traffic, energy, and outdoor lighting are managed by self-contained embedded systems – though the managed processes are deeply interconnected. New applications and collective optimization require integration of these systems which represents a truly “systems of systems” integration problem: these urban systems evolve independently, have their own purpose and internal policies wh ...

Empowering root-targeted strategies to minimize abiotic stress impacts on horticultural crops (ROOTOPOWER)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
ROOTOPOWER aims to develop a multidisciplinary suite of new tools targeted to the root system to enhance agronomic stability and sustainability of dicotyledonous crops under multiple and combined abiotic stresses: salinity, water stress, soil compaction and low fertilizer (N, P, K) input. Central to our approach is the use of tomato as a model species since it can be very easily grafted (usual com ...

Green Retrofitting of Existing Ships (REFRESH)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Traditionally, the environmental performance of ships in terms of air emissions has never been among the primary concerns of the maritime industry. However, this situation is bound to change considering that the greening of the transportation sector is imminent and unavoidable. This tendency is manifested with activities ranging from regularly published statistics regarding the air pollution of ge ...

Opening New Markets for SMEs: Intelligent Ice Sensing and De-icing System to Improve Wind Turbine Efficiency in Cold Climates (WINDHEAT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Technical limitations constrain the use of wind turbines (WT) in extreme (cold) climates. These arise in Northen (Scandinavia, Scotland) as well as high altitude (Switzerland, south Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria) regions in the EU. The main challenge is ice formation on the WT blades which significantly reduces their performance and can ultimately cause shutdown. Power losses related to i ...

"MULTILAYERED WOOD-BASED EXTERIOR DOORS WITH ENHANCED ACOUSTIC INSULATING PROPERTIES FOR DWELLINGS, SANITATION AND EDUCATIVE CENTRES" (SILENTWOOD)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
"The aim of the SILENTWOOD project is to develop and validate a novel, price-competitive, certificable exterior wooden-based door with enhanced acoustic performance to attend the growing demand and comply with increasingly stringent building legislations for residential, educational and sanitary premises. It will also cope with the broadest range of aesthetic and architectonic variables and applic ...

Cities and science communication: innovative approaches to engaging the public (CASC)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
Science cities are becoming increasingly important across Europe. Their central strategic aim appears to be boosting the knowledge economy nationally and to support the goals defined in the Lisbon strategy. In order to do this, it is important that the ‘triple helix’ of universities and research organisations, business and the public sector work together to ensure that research and development (R& ...
