Summary:This publication presents a selection of 40 of the most successful EU research projects and initiatives from the Sixth Framework Program for Research. The projects cover health, environment and food, as well as the way we travel and how our energy is produced. In many cases, these research results have an immediate practical impact - by improving consumer products, preventing or curing diseases or by changing the way business works. Furthermore, by linking up the best European scientists in their respective fields, these projects are laying the foundations for research networks that will last long after the projects have ended, therefore helping to reduce fragmentation and the duplication of effort in European research in the future. All of them are paving the way to create and reinforce, in an open and coordinated way, the establishment of a European Research Area, which will combine the best of National and Regional research programs, EU Research initiatives and existing European research facilities.--Publisher's description.
