In a 5-day summer camp hosted by different European cities, multidisciplinary student groups are trained and challenged to develop novel solutions for sustainable circular cities, with a strong focus on the role of raw materials in the transition to green mobility, renewable energy, and the digital society.
In the CIRCU-CITY summer camp, a group of international students from different disciplines (e.g., environmental technology, energy, industrial/civil/environmental engineering, architecture and urban planning, chemistry, materials Sciences) is trained and challenged to co-develop novel Solutions for sustainable circular cities. Special attention is given to sustainable water management, climate adaptation and resource recovery as well the ...
Infertility is a serious medical concern preventing the parenthood in 10% of couples. Infertility treatment using assisted reproduction techniques (ART) is popular in Europe with up to 5% of children born thanks to medical help. Despite many technological improvements the overall pregnancy rate after infertility treatment using the most commonly practiced in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains only 30% per single cycle. The specific features of ...
Improving industrial energy efficiency at European Manufacturing level requires the integration of energy data with advanced optimization techniques to guide a company decision making.
E2COMATION intends to address the optimization of energy usage, at multiple hierarchical layers of a manufacturing process as well as considering the whole life-cycle perspective across the value chain. To this purpose, it aims at providing a cross-sectorial ...
The BEE DOC will empirically and experimentally fill knowledge gaps in honeybee pests and diseases, including the 'colony collapse disorder' and quantify the impact of interactions between parasites, pathogens and pesticides on honeybee mortality. We will show for two model parasites (Nosema, Varroa), three viruses (DWV, BQCV, IAPV) and two pesticides (thiacloprid, t-fluvalinate) how interactions affect individual bees and colonies.
