ADAGIO

Compared to the manifold- potential impacts of climate change on agroecosystems, potential adaptation measures are even more complex because of the high number of options available through the human factor. The aims of ADAGIO (Adaptation of Agriculture in European Regions at Environmental Risk under Climate Change) are therefore: 1. Identifying most vulnerable regional issues through climate change 2. Identifying feasible potential adaptation measures 3. Integration into management strategies and agricultural policy.

INCOMAT

The field of medical biomaterials has recently developed a major growth potential as the demand for cardiovascular, orthopaedic as well as dental implant devices is tremendously increasing worldwide. The ageing of Europe's population will be a crucial challenge for the 21st century. Furthermore there are specific problems concerning RTD resources and capabilities existing in the Third countries (Western Balkan, Newly Independent States) having been isolated and excluded from the cooperation with EU, their networking works rather on regional level. INCOMAT contributes to eliminate these deficiencies and will create cooperation teams of excellence with experts from EU, Third countries and US.
