81. Pioneering EU project on track to assess level of contaminants in seafood
Pollution of the oceans and climate change has sparked concerns not just about the status of the marine environment but also about the impact on seafood safety and public health.
In the global seafood market, European added-value lies in offering safe, high-quality seafood to consumers.
With this in mind, the EUR 5 million ECSAFESEAFOOD project (Priority environmental contaminants in seafood: safety assessment, impact and public perception) was launched in Lisbon in February 2013.
Quality validation date:
2014-04-04

85. Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads - 5 Day Course - 14-18 July 2014, Bristol (UK)
The course is being run as part of the EU funded ALPES (Aircraft Loads Prediction using Enhanced Simulation) Marie-Curie Initial Training Network. Course Objectives: To introduce the main concepts of Aeroelasticity and Loads, and the multi-disciplinary methods needed for their study To provide an understanding of the main principles of Aeroelasticity and Loads analysis by: • using simple mathematical models to illustrate basic theoretical concepts, • showing the maths – but not explaining all of the detail and derivations, instead focusing on the connection with the physics • introducing relevant terminology and methods, and • explaining the analysis, testing and certification processes used by the aerospace industry To include examples on some of the key topics.

86. JRC supports Member States with nuclear forensics expertise
Visualising latent fingerprints is common practice for police
forensic laboratories in EU countries, but if the evidence is
radioactively contaminated, the laboratory cannot process the
fingerprints. The JRC has unique nuclear forensic capabilities which
include methodologies for recovering fingerprints from contaminated
surfaces. In order to support Member States’ authorities, the JRC
provided access to these capabilities through a project consisting of
several nuclear forensics exercises.
