Israeli Success Israel has enjoyed impressive success - and considerable financial support - in response to proposals presented to the European Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. Below are projects which highlight Israeli contributions to varied fields. The focus is on originality in science and technology Yamar: Preventing Accidents Investment: 16.6 Million Euro Other Key Partners: Daimler-Chrysler, Fiat, Motorola, Siemens Yamar joined one of Europe’s strongest endeavors to develop a vehicular accident prevention system. The SPARC project is seeking to create a platform that allows vehicles to receive information on road conditions from various information sources, including cameras, GPS and radar, to assess risk and avoid accidents. It is anticipated that the partners will adapt the system- originally planned for trucks - to private vehicles. Stem Cell Research at Hebrew University Investment: 16.5 Million Euro Key Partners: Basel University, Edinburgh University, the Dresden Technological University and others. The special qualities of stem cells provide many opportunities to learn about the nature of the human cell division process and diseases. SCT is a member of the ESTOOLS consortium, coordinated by the UK's Sheffield University. The consortium is working toward developing and implementing instructional tools on genetic activities and molecular networks that regulate the regeneration and cellular differentiation in human embryonic stem cells. The goal is to develop a research platform to advance bio-medical breakthroughs.
18 / 19 Crytec: Frozen Food Quality Investment: 165 Million Euro Key Israeli partners: Volcani, Afcon, Motorola Israel, Freshpoint Quality Assurance and OSM-Dan This four-year project of the CHILL-ON consortium is designed to meet the need to supply quality control for frozen foods. The project will include the development of a computer infrastructure based tracking system capable of supplying the authorities with the tools to carry out quality control and monitoring of the marketing routs of frozen and chilled foods. Among the project's goals are improving storage and delivery systems, innovative packing solutions, a mobile control unit and an information and communication technology software system. In its first phases the project will focus on fish and seafood, broadening to poultry in a later stage. Exent Technologies and Amal: Multimedia applications Investment: 15.8 Million Euro Key Partners: Phillips, VTT Finland, Fraunhofer, DT Austria Eindhoven University, Portugal Telecom and T-online. Exent Technologies leads the Games@Large consortium, a fouryear project dedicated to developing new computing architecture to advance processing powers. The goal is to provide affordable solutions for businesses and homes that will permit any device to operate computer games on any platform, from computers to television. The projected completion is planned for 2010, and it will be released in the European market by T-Online and Portugal Telecom, in Latin America by Portugal Telecom and in North America and Asia by the Israeli Exent company. Weizmann Institute: Proteins for biomedical uses Investment: 15 Million Euro Key Partners: Oxford University, The European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, York University and others. The SPINE2-COMPLEXES consortium, led by Oxford University, is planned as a four-year project. Its two main goals are in the field of structural biology: developing systems to gain insight into proteins, and examining the function of proteins and protein complexes in signaling pathways that affect human health. Protelogics: Investigating proteins at Technion and Hebrew University Investment: 15 Million Euro Other Key Partners: the Technion in Haifa, the Hebrew University, the Medical Center University (Netherlands), the Pasteur Institute (France), the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (Germany) and more. The RUBICON consortium, led by Sweden's Karolinska Institute, is investigating the role of the ubiquitin protein and ubiquitin-like modifiers in the cellular inhibition process. The project focuses on promoting rapid advancement in researching the molecular principles of protein changes caused by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like molecular bonding. Investigations will also examine the role these molecules have on the inhibition of basic biological processes, and the implications for treatment of pathological conditions, such as chronic inflammations, nerve degeneration and cancer. Tel Aviv and Hebrew Universities and Savyon Diagnostics: Nanometric chips Investment: 12 Million Euro Other Partners: Genetix (UK), the Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute (Russia), the East China University of Science and Technology and others The Nacbo consortium, led by Kent University, seeks to develop materials for use in biological recognition processes via the construction of nanometrically etched chips. The project focuses on molecular diagnostics and will develop new and improved solutions in biology, medicine, chemistry, process engineering and the environment. Among other goals, it will help develop, manufacture and market testing kits for infectious diseases. Tel Aviv and Hebrew Universities and Weizmann: The future internet Investment: 8.9 Million Euro Other Partners: the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), Ericsson, France Telecom, Magdeburg University, CETIC, ICTP and others. The EVERGROW consortium is an international laboratory which studies and advances the challenges for the next generation of the internet. Under development is the construction of a system that simulates the internet of the future using a high-speed computer grid. The goal is to learn how the web will work, analyze traffic characteristics, its physical and logical structure, control systems and its service potential. The consortium will develop scientific models for the development of the internet of the future.
