Research A networking event - FP7 Connections 2012 - will take place in Bratislava in May. Deadline for the online registration and submitting a collaboration profile for the event is 27th of April. Afterwards, all the partner profiles will be promoted and viewed by all the other prospective partners in order to book bilateral meetings for the matchmaking event on the 16th of May. We are organising an event in the European Parliament which will illustrate how research contributes to real-life health, sustainability and mobility applications and services. For two days following the opening festivities on the 8th of October, MEPs will get individual guided tours through our ICT building blocks and will get hands-on experiences of the research that is done in Europe. Right now we are looking for these "Made in Europe" components by our projects to showcase them for the MEPs. Fill in the form and send it to infso-nanoelectronics@ec.europa.eu if you believe that you and your project should be with us in Brussels. The European Commission does not contribute to any afferent cost for this event. Documents Grid computing, long used by physicists and astronomers to crunch masses of data quickly and efficiently, is making the leap into the world of biomedicine. Supported by EU-funding, researchers have networked hundreds of computers to help find treatments for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. Through the Neugrid project, the pan-European grid computing infrastructure has opened up new channels of research into degenerative neurological disorders and other illnesses, while also holding the promise of quicker and more accurate clinical diagnoses of individual patients. The team call their system the 'Google for brain imaging.' |
