RISK ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES (ENPRA)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Engineered Nanoparticles (ENP) are increasingly produced for use in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Yet it is known that exposure to some types of particles can cause severe health effects. Therefore it is essential to ascertain whether exposure to ENP can lead to possible health risks for workers and consumers. We have formed a consortium of well-known scientists from European U ...

Intestinal, Liver and Endothelial Nanoparticle Toxicity Development and evaluation of a novel tool for high-throughput data generation (InLiveTox)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
The InLiveTox project will form an interdisciplinary consortium at the European level, together with a key American research group to develop an improved in vitro model for the study of nanoparticle (NP) uptake, transport and cellular interaction, thus advancing our understanding of NP toxicity. Rather than repeat what has, or is being done in the field of aerosol NP and lung toxicology, InLiveTo ...

Developmental effects of environment on reproductive health (DEER)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,
"The multidisciplinary research teams in this consortium have played lead roles in establishing that fetal and childhood periods are vulnerable to environmental disruption leading to common reproductive disorders. This proposal will investigate: (1) connections between normal/abnormal perinatal reproductive development and maturation of reproductive function at puberty and in adulthood; (2) system ...

Do nanoparticles induce neurodegenerative diseases? Understanding the origin of reactive oxidative species and protein aggregation and mis-folding phenomena in the presence of nanoparticles (NeuroNano)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
As the use of nanoparticles becomes more prevalent, it is clear that human exposure will inevitably increase. Considering the rapidly ageing European population and the resulting increase in the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, there is an urgent need to address the risk presented by nanoparticles towards neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed that nanoparticles can pass through the bl ...

ERASMUS Network for Music ‘Polifonia’
Start date: Oct 1, 2011,
The ERASMUS Network for Music ‘Polifonia’ will enhance the quality and attractiveness of European higher music education (HME) at the European level and internationally. Impacted by European higher education policy developments (e.g. the ‘Bologna’ and ‘EU 2020’ processes) and by changes in the profession, the HME sector in Europe has developed an increasingly unified approach which has benefited f ...
