At this page you can find information about ongoing and completed research projects which FoxLab leads, or has leaded, or where it participates, or has participated, as partner.


Completed Projects

AnaEE
(Infrastructure for Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems)

Duration: from 01/11/2012 to 30/04/2016
Coordinator: Abad Chabbi, INRA, France
Grant Holder: INRA, France
Funding Agency: EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7) European Infrastructure

AnaEE is a research infrastructure for experimental manipulation of managed and unmanaged terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It will strongly support scientists in their analysis, assessment and forecasting of the impact of climate and other global changes on the services that ecosystems provide to society. AnaEE will support European scientists and policymakers to develop solutions to the challenges of food security and environmental sustainability, with the aim of stimulating the growth of a vibrant bioeconomy. AnaEE will accomplish this mission by building permanent and substantial links among researchers, science managers, policy makers, public and private sector innovators, and citizens.

TREES4FUTURE
(Designing Trees for the Future)


Duration: from 01/11/2011 to 30/04/2016
Coordinator: Luc Paques, INRA, France
Grant Holder: CRI-FEM, Italy
Funding Agency: EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7) European Infrastructure

Trees4Future (Designing Trees for the Future) is an Integrative European Research Infrastructure project that aims to integrate, develop and improve major forest genetics and forestry research infrastructures. It will provide the wider European forestry research community with easy and comprehensive access to currently scattered sources of information (including genetic databanks, forest modelling tools and wood technology labs) and expertise.
