Changing Permafrost in the Arctic and its Global Effects in the 21st Century (PAGE21)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Permafrost is defined as ground that remains continuously at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years; some 24% of the land surface in the northern Hemisphere is classified as permafrost. In the Northern high latitudes, strong warming has been observed over the recent decades, and climate models project strong future warming. A projected decline in the extent of permafrost will have a major ...

Development of adaptive ProductioN systems for Eco-efficient firing processes (DAPhNE)

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

The overall scope of the DAPhNE project is to develop and demonstrate a package of integrated solutions for energy intensive processes (ceramics, cement and glass), based on tuning micro-wave technologies to the material characteristics and on intelligent control systems, to provide real time information about the energy consumption as well as the product quality.Microwave heating is now a well e ...

Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks (MUNIN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"MUNIN aims to develop an autonomous ship concept, which is described according to the Waterborne TP Agenda by combination of automated decision systems with remote control via a shore based station. The vision of MUNIN is to show the update possibilities of today’s fleet to autonomous vessel.The trend in maritime transport towards slow steaming increase the necessary total number of ships, while ...

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 ...

Monitoring and Assessing Regional Climate change in High latitudes and the Arctic (MONARCH-A)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

"By adopting an Earth system approach the ultimate goal of MONARCH-A is to generate a dedicated information package tailored to a subset of multidisciplinary Essential Climate Variables and their mutual forcing and feedback mechanisms associated with changes in terrestrial carbon and water fluxes, sea level and ocean circulation and the marine carbon cycle in the high latitude and Arctic regions. ...

Thermohaline Overturning - at Risk? (THOR)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"THOR will establish an operational system that will monitor and forecast the development of the North Atlantic THC on decadal time scales and access its stability and the risk of a breakdown in a changing climate. Together with pre-existing data sets, ongoing observations within the project will allow precise quantitative monitoring of the Atlantic THC and its sources. This will, for the first ti ...

Combinatorial synthesis of peptide arrays with a laser printer (PEPLASER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Our particle-based method allows us to synthesise high complexity peptide arrays by combinatorial synthesis and for an unrivalled prize. We plan to further develop this new technology up to the level of robust prototype machines, and mate it to bioinformatics and readout tools. Together, our procedure(s) should boost the field of proteomics in a similar way as the lithographic technologies did wi ...
