Introduction
The CEAF project is a Specific Support Action (SSA) financed by the European Commission
under the Sixth Framework Programme. The overall aim of this project is to create synergy
for virtual networking and strengthening cooperation in the area of Food Quality and Safety
with partners from new Member States contributing to the creation of the European Research
Area (ERA) in Central Europe.
This catalogue contains data collected as part of the CEAF project FOOD-CT-2004-510409
entitled: Stimulating participation of the Central Europe in Agri-Food Sector in the FP6.
This catalogue was prepared as part of the CEAF project activities called Deliverable No. 8
in order to present details of active food and agriculture institutions in the CEAF partnering
countries like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Latvia, Estonia, and the Netherlands. The aim of this
work is to encourage all European partners to increase their cooperation with the excellent
institutions in those countries for wider collaboration in the future under FP7 in order to
create a real European Research Area.
This catalogue contains information such as contact details, research activities/profiles,
and the areas of interest.
By providing you with this catalogue we hope to improve your access to information on the
institutions in the CEAF partnering countries that are active in food and agriculture sectors.
We also hope that the catalogue will make a significant contribution to the strengthening
of the food science base in Europe.
In addition, information and dissemination activities on the CEAF project were very good
and sufficiently spread to arouse interest and collect profiles from countries like Bulgaria,
Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Ukraine. All the additional
profiles are included in the chapter ‘others’.
The registration and submissions of information to the catalogue were on a voluntary basis
and the project coordinator cannot be held responsible for the content or the accuracy
of the entries as they appear in the exact form submitted by the interested parties.
If you have any questions regarding the database or the project please contact our project
partners – contact details are on the back cover.

The Estonian Agricultural University is the centre of research and development in
such fields as agriculture, horticulture, forestry, animal science, veterinary science,
rural life and economy, food science and environmentally friendly technologies.
In the Institute of Horticulture scientific research has its aims in each field.
In ornamental gardening the main attention is paid to finding new perspective
ornamental plants for growing in Estonia, also collecting and maintaining old
valuable species and cultivars.
Expertise offered
Fruit-vegetables Cereal.
Target partner
(expertise)
Our research is focused on the horticultural products rich in biologically active
compounds (as strawberries, blueberries, black currant, sea buckthorn, garlic,
onion, spinach etc). In large scale planned experiments could be divided into
four different sections: 1) field experiments using different growing technologies
2) laboratory experiments to test different growing technologies (with fast-growing
crops) 3) postharvest experiments to study different storage regimes in various
storage rooms. 4) economical evaluation of different production and storage
technologies. In production fields the influence of different soil types, fertilisation,
pruning (in sea buckthorn), burning, mulching (in strawberries), sowing- and
planting times (in vegetables) on the content of antioxidants will be studied.
In laboratory experiments mostly the influence of different fertilisers would be
studied. Small and medium sized enterprises would have a big role in our research
from the beginning, because some of the experiments would be carried out in
commercial conditions, meaning fields and storehouses of small farms.

Ecological plant protection products.
Expertise offered
1. Optimalisation of food products obtained by ecological methods (organic
farms). Reduction of the use of chemical substances which are harmful for
useful soil microorganisms. 2. Reduction of the use of plant protection measures
which are harmful for health and environment through replacing them with new
plant protecting measures which can be used in ecological farming. These new
measures should be composed of raw materials of plant origin. 3. It will allow the
existence of useful microorganisms. To achieve this goal tests on plants of several
new ecological plant protection measures are needed. These tests should include
the following integrated activity: 1) Fighting against fungi and bacteria diseases
2)Preventive and intervention actions against pests (including mostly insects). The
effect of anti pests measures should be double: a) repellent b) contact fighting
The best would be if the test of effects against diseases and insects could be
combined. The budget will depend on the number of participants and scope of
research which will be conducted.
Target partner
(expertise)
a) Research institutes involved in plant protection from: Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia
and Ukraine which can test measures in agriculture (ecologically oriented).
It concerns domestic plants typical for a given country. For such plants it is
economically justified to use a measure at the price level from 2 to 6 Euro with a
delusion to concentration 1-2% and 2 to 3 interventions. b) Research institutes
involved in plant protection from the Netherlands, which can manage the following
activities: I. Tests on ornamental flowers II. And/or managing the budget III. And/
or laboratory measurements of the effectiveness of new measures against fungi
and bacteria diseases (microbiological method) and insects (laboratory method).
The last measurements can select 1 or 2 most effective measures among 5 or 6
prepared. c) Research institutes involved in plant protection from countries such
as: Bulgaria, Hungary, Turkey, Rumania, which have capacities to test measures
on warm climate plants, typical for a given country.

The Technology Transfer Centre (ttz)-Bremerhaven offers small and mediumsized companies (SME's) a number of opportunities to realize thoughts and
plans for new products and processes – taking advantage of public funding and
international cooperation opportunities. In your job as owner or executive of an
SME, you know best the chances – or even the necessities – to optimise technical
production cycles within the company. Or you have a head full of ideas on how to
overhaul and improve the conventional product, or which innovations would have
excellent sales perspectives in your branch of business – if only you knew how to
make it work… ttz Bremerhaven maintains six institutes with competent teams,
state-of-the-art research facilities and extensive experience in obtaining public
funding. We will put the pieces together and engage in the needed research and
development activities – for which your own company does not have the capacities.
The original thought will always be your property – just like the research results
and the newly gained know-how. We'll bring your ideas to life – call us, mail us
or meet with us for a brainstorm.

plasma-chemistry, physics and technology of charge particle accelerators and
generators, development of beam and plasma technologies. Elaboration in the
field of physics of heavy charged particle accelerators are connected with solving
of fundamental problems in physics of atomic nucleus, nuclear technologies and
physics of radioactive damages.
Researches on physics of gas discharge and low temperature plasma-chemistry,
which have been carried out in the department of “Low-temperature
nonequilibrium plasma-chemistry”, allowed to develop effective plasma-chemical
reactors which can be used for synthesis of ozone.
Expertise offered
• In NSC KIPT after the assistance of international funds unique technology of
pre-sowing treatment of crop seeds by the ozone enriched air was developed
• Ozone displays a complex effect on seeds as a disinfective and activating agent
• The grain crop from the seeds pretreated with ozone increases by 10 to 15%
as compared with traditional chemical methods of presowing treatment of seeds;
the quality of grain is improved • The ozone treatment of seeds is an ecologically
clean process • Ozone is produce simply from an atmospheric air directly at the
place of its use and remained ozone decomposes into molecular oxygen, thus,
doing no harm to the environment and the raw material.
