Development of biological composite materials, whose phases are biocompatible, adhere to each other and have the effective properties to satisfy medical requirements.

Objective: the aim is to generate sub-projects developing high technology products, processes, systems or services contributing to solving some of europe's major environmental problems.

Design, manufacture and evaluation of suspension components for vehicles to evaluate the advantages of using fibre- reinforced plastics to reduce mass, integrate parts, increase durability and reduce damage to road surfaces

Will support further development of abatement strategies within europe by providing an improved scientific basis for the quantification of source-receptor relationships for photo-oxidants and acidifying substances.

The aim is to further develop the use of fibre-reinforced plastics in rail suspensions and demonstrate the advantages of advanced suspensions using such materials.

Demonstrate a novel form of hybrid electric drive line which combines the virtues of the bus and tram without the need for track or overhead lines and show how this introduces a modal shift away from the passenger car.

Development of optimal complex technology for intensive cleaning of soil contaminated by oil pollutants, based on the separation of migrating fraction of oil through the use of biosurfactant/biodegradation of non-migrating fraction.

The objective of this strategic project is the application of new technologies for the improvement and sustainability of the tourism, leisure and cultural industry as well increasing the european citizen's standard of life.

Develop software tools for digital acquisition, archiving, interactive delivery of endangered cultural heritage database entries, managing internet-integrated multimedia database and electronic copyright trading environment.

The principal raw materials now used for the production of polyurethane foams are petrochemical products. Some of the raw materials needed for the production of polyurethane can be obtained from renewable materials.
