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.
