VTT: EU to attain emission target ahead of schedule in non-ETS sectors

The European Union is likely to achieve its 2020 emission reduction target ahead of schedule in non-ETS sectors. A foresight study by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland indicates that this outcome, which is more positive than expected, will mean that not all emission quotas will need to be used. In turn, this will mean that quota values remain low. The VTT estimates that the EU’s cumulative surplus for 2013-2020 emission quotas in non-ETS sectors will total 160-2000 megatonnes of carbon dioxide. Annually, this would correspond to up to 5 per cent of all emissions within the EU.

EU support for sharing field operational test data

The European Commission has granted funding for the FOT-Net Data project, whose main aim is to make traffic data collected in field operational tests (FOTs) more widely available to researchers. The three-year project will start in January 2014. Since 2008, the EU has supported a number of projects enabling testing of latest vehicle information technology in large-scale field trials. Thousands of drivers have been able to test the most promising prototypes or products just entering the markets. The drivers have been testing systems such as the adaptive cruise control, forward collision

Scientists creating new diagnostic and bioinformatics tools for psychotic disorders

A new EU project, METSY, develops and applies neuroimaging and bioinformatics tools to study how lipid metabolism is connected to psychotic disorders and metabolic co-morbidities such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The overall objective is to identify, prioritize and evaluate multi-modal blood and neuroimaging biomarkers that have diagnostic potential for prediction and monitoring psychotic disorders and associated metabolic co-morbidities. The consortium brings together clinicians, researchers and industry partners in the domains of psychiatry, neuroimaging, metabolic research,
