Therefore, young women and men wanting to become researchers are desperately needed. The European Commission encourages and fosters an understanding of science among young Europeans, and in turn helps them follow related careers. Both the ERA-NET scheme and the Article 185 Initiative are helping drive this objective.]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-07-15:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_07_15_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=22213 http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=eranet-videos Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-06-17:/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=eranet-videos http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_04_08_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=20773 Health practitioners and parents want the best for children, and helping drive this objective is the PRIOMEDCHILD ('Coordination of research on priority medicines for children') initiative, a Coordinated Action funded under the ERA–NET scheme of the FP6. PRIOMEDCHILD, backed with more than EUR 1.7 million, created a European platform for research, development and innovation of paediatric medicines by funding, coordinating and networking national programmes and researchers across Europe, now launched an EUR 8 million Joint Call.]]> Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-04-08:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_04_08_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=20773 http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=eranet-projects Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-03-22:/fp7/index_en.cfm?pg=eranet-projects http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_03_02_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=20173 EU-funded researchers have found that the sea surface temperature of the Baltic Sea was warmer in the past and the oxygen depletion was stronger than what current figures show. The INFLOW project, 1 of 16 BONUS+ projects, is developing a model for natural variability in marine ecosystems that will fuel our understanding of how the changes will affect the Baltic Sea in the long run. BONUS+ is jointly funded by national programmes of the Baltic countries to the tune of EUR 22 million, of which EUR 7.27 million is provided via a grant under the ERA-NET Plus scheme of the FP7.]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-03-02:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_03_02_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=20173 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_02_18_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=19993 An EU-wide study has found five new genetic variants for Parkinson's disease. The research was funded in part by the NEURON ('Network of European funding for neuroscience research') initiative, a Coordinated Action funded under the ERA-NET scheme of the FP6 to the tune of EUR 2.7 million. Participating in NEURON were experts from Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and the UK. ]]> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2011-02-18:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_02_18_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=19993 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_11_02_17_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=19973 Species are disappearing at an alarming rate, threatening nature's ability to provide us with essential goods and services like clean air and water, food, fuel, materials, climate regulation and flood prevention, to name just a few. Enter the EU-funded ERA-NET project BIODIVERSA, which is working to create a single biodiversity research community in Europe.
