FishHEALTH: Evaluation of the health status of fish populations in 3 sustainable fishing zones in the Région Sud

Mediterranean marine ecosystems, particularly fish populations, are facing increasing threats due to the growth of anthropogenic activities in coastal areas. Among the most significant threats to fish assemblages are overfishing and the destruction of habitats, such as anchoring pleasure boats in Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows and the development of artificial structures along the coastline that disrupt shallow coastal areas. However, fish populations play a crucial role in the functioning of marine ecosystems, facilitating energy transfer within the food web and supporting local economic activities such as artisanal fishing. In this context, it is essential to monitor the health of fish communities by studying their diversity and composition. The aim of FishHEALTH lead by ECOSEAS is to assess biodiversity and monitor ichthyological diversity and the state of trophic networks in three Natura 2000 zones on the French Riviera. Two of them are located in the Var department (Corniche Varoise and Estérel), and one is in the Alpes-Maritimes department (Cap Ferrat). Two sampling campaigns (warm season: September / cold season: January) are planned over two consecutive years.The project, financed up to 350 000€ by FEAMPA (European and national contribution), started in July 2023 and will end in August 2025. It builds on the continuity of the RECIF project. Led by ECOSEAS, the RECIF project involved standardized monitoring of fish populations in eight No-Take Zones (NTZs) in the Mediterranean in 2022, four of which are included in this new project. Duration: July 23 - August 25.

ELSE : European Leadership for Safety Education

The European Leadership for Safety Education project (ELSE) aims to develop a leadership training program for nuclear industry executives in order to provide them with a permanent degree in nuclear safety. This academic training is based on setting up an international multidisciplinary research network on this topic This project has obtained €800,000 in funding over three years from the European Commission's Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation. The project started in September 2019.

I AM Europe

I AM Europe aims to raise awareness among individuals (I) in the Alpes Maritimes (AM) of European actions and policies (Europe) in terms of training, territorial cooperation and R&I as well as their translation onto society while encouraging citizen participation to the major European debates. It therefore provides three components with three different targets: Education and mobility / high school students, Alpes Maritimes, experimental territory / inhabitants of the region, Innovation-energy transition / students. Duration 2021-2022

RECYSITE

LIFE RECYSITE - PRODUCTION OF FULLY RECYCLABLE AND REUSABLE GREEN COMPOSITES BASED ON BIORESINS AND NATURAL FIBRES

The RECYSITE project aims to develop thermosetting eco-composites from renewable resources: natural fibers from biological waste (flax fibers) and resins from natural resources (linseed oil and humins). Flax straw is either disposed of or burnt directly on the fields because of the long time it takes to decompose into the soil. Nevertheless, these flax stems contain fibrous materials that can be recovered. Duration: Juillet 2016 - Juin 2019

PerMedSchiz : Personalized medicine in schizophrenia: predicting relapse, treatment response and the potential benefit of add-on anti-inflammatory agents

Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental illness that affects millions of Europeans. While antipsychotic drugs relieve symptoms in one-third of patients, the majority of patients are resistant to treatment. Although guidelines are available, there is an urgent need to identify objective predictors of treatment outcomes to guide individualized treatment.

EUROFUSION

A roadmap for achieving nuclear fusion was adopted by the EFDA system at the end of 2012. The roadmap aims to obtain all the necessary know-how to launch the construction of a demonstration power plant (DEMO) by 2030, in order to achieve the objective of injecting fusion power into the grid by 2050. The roadmap was arranged into eight different tasks. The aim of this proposal is to implement the activities described in the Roadmap during the Horizon 2020 period through a joint program of the EUROfusion consortium members.
