Life expectancy in the European Union is rising and the prevalence of age-induced cardiovascular disease increases concomitantly. The main clinical presentation of age-induced cardiovascular disease is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a complex...

We propose a productive and efficient programming model to overcome the challenges posed by the end of Moore’s law. Our model bases on a fundamentally new spatial viewpoint that considers the computational structure of applications. The growth of the computing industry as...

NFFA-EUROPE PILOT (NEP) aims at expanding and consolidating the operation of a Interoperable Distributed Research Infrastructure for Nanoscience (IDRIN) supporting research on materials and functional systems at the nanoscale and at the microscale. NEP provides a unique...

The European synchrotron radiation sources and free electron lasers serve a broad scientific community with more than 24000 users and play a vital role in most research fields from basic science in physics, chemistry and biology to applied areas in health, engineering...

PITHIA-NRF aims at building a European distributed network that integrates observing facilities, data processing tools and prediction models dedicated to ionosphere, thermosphere and plasmasphere research. For the first time, PITHIA-NRF integrates on a European scale, and...

MICOLL will analyze the development of commercial law by means of a tool almost ignored in this field: historical linguistics. The borrowing and transfer of legal terms will be carried out through a comprehensive and systematic investigation of medieval and early modern legal...
