COST Action TD0903 - Understanding and
manipulating enzymatic and proteomic processes in
biomineralization: towards new biomimetic
strategies, the creation of tailored nano-scale
architectures and environmental monitoring
The Action will promote research on
the biomineralisation processes of
selected land, freshwater and marine
species for both environmental
biomonitoring and as a source of
new biomimetic strategies and
materials.

•
TU0902 - Integrated assessment technologies to
support the sustainable development of urban
areas
– develop better representations of the urban
systems interactions and dynamics as well as new
configurations of urban areas so that they
consume fewer resources, emit less pollution, are
more resilient to the impacts of climate change
and are more sustainable in general
