Positive results for the EuroChar project

17 Gen 2014Cristina Da RoldLascia un commento

The Italian National Research Council (CNR) coordinates EuroChar, a European project dedicated to the development of technologies for long-term carbon sequestration and large-scale removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the atmosphere. EuroChar investigates carbon sequestration potentials achieved by transforming plant biomass into charcoal (or Biochar) that can be added to agricultural soils. EuroChar is a part of the Seventh Framework Programme, it started in 2011 and it was to end in 2013, but it was extended until June 2014.

The University of Milano Bicocca is a member of SYRA3, a Cost Action started in 2013 concerning Innovative Methods in Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery, using Synchrotron Radiation in Biomedicine and Molecular sciences. SYRA3 focuses on brain tumors and disorders of the central nervous system, studying the power of synchrotron radiation, in particular using the Grenoble synchrotron.

A Cost Action is an initiative that allows the coordination of nationally-funded science and technology research projects. It aims to reduce the fragmentation in European research and to open the European Research Area to cooperation worldwide. In this respect, SYRA3 is intrinsically multidisciplinary. The purpose of this project is to create a network of physicists, biologists, doctors, chemists, in order to study the potential of a tool as powerful as the synchrotron.
