They play a crucial role in distributing heat, carbon, oxygen, nutrients, and, of course, water around the world, influencing our climate and our weather. The effects of global warming on sea levels, currents and water heat are still only partly understood, making predictions for future climate conditions difficult. But a worldwide programme using thousands of plastic floats is currently monitoring the oceans and - with crucial help from European researchers - is finding answers to what moves the seas. ]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2013-02-25:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_13_02_25_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=29313 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-eatris&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28673 All too often, researchers who secure medical breakthroughs in the laboratory find themselves at a loss when it comes to turning their findings into health products. This blockage is due to the slow, cumbersome and failure-prone testing and approvals mechanism, which involves lengthy inter-disciplinary dealings amongst basic scientists, clinicians, regulators and more. But a new European project is simplifying the system and speeding the journey from science to therapy. ]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-12-13:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-eatris&calledby=infocentre&item=Infocentre&artid=28673 http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-food4me&calledby=infocentre&item=All&artid=28293&caller=SuccessStories Health, Food, Transport, Environment and Industrial technologies are the subjects of some of our latest Success Stories! • EUROPRISE – Groundbreaking inter-disciplinary collaboration advances HIV prevention • FOOD4ME – A genetic approach to personalised nutrition • INTERACT – Making Arctic research accessible to all • REALMARS – Breakthrough antenna research to boost wireless transmission • COMET – Do you have the nerve? • CITYMOBIL – Future road travel: no petrol, no drivers, less polution• PEGASOS – Bringing a breath of fresh air to climate research]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-11-26:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=ss-food4me&calledby=infocentre&item=All&artid=28293&caller=SuccessStories http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=success6&item=All&artid=24116&caller=SuccessStories Tue, 06 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT tag:ch,2012-03-06:/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=success6&item=All&artid=24116&caller=SuccessStories
