[01] Rewarding EU scientific excellence : eight research teams shortlisted
for the 2003 EU Descartes Prize
The names of the eight international research teams short-listed for this
prestigious scientific award were announced today. Launched in 2000, the EU
Descartes Prize rewards outstanding scientific and technological research
carried out by cross-European collaboration and partnerships. Over 900
scientists in 230 research teams from across Europe competed for this
year's prize. The eight projects short-listed today cover a wide range of
science and technology fields - information and computer sciences,
geophysics, life sciences, engineering, molecular chemistry and materials
engineering. The projects address wide ranging issues such as artificial
intelligence, next generation aircraft, thin and pliable TV and computer
screens, giant sea waves, advanced satellite positioning systems, new drugs
for post-menopausal disorders and cures for Alzheimer's disease. The work
of the finalists will be presented, and the winners of this year's awards
announced at a ceremony in Rome on 20 November. Winners will share a
€1million prize.
