Traffic is time and energy consuming and produces negative effects on the environment. The first pillar of the Green Paper on Urban Mobility: Towards a new culture for urban mobility adopted by the EU commission in 2007, puts a strong emphasis on (1) reducing congestion and its impact in everyday life on urban environments, and (2) developing smarter urban transport systems, whose aim is to spread good practices towards more efficient urban transport. Traffic control systems should cope with the ever increasing demand by determining the situation on the road network and by controlling traffic flows. Emerging cooperative techniques like vehicle-to-infrastructure communication increase the knowledge about road traffic participants and open new channels for delivering information to these participants. However, most cooperative systems require large penetration rates in order to assure their functionality, making the first steps towards their deployment unattractive. COLOMBO will overcome this hurdle by delivering a set of modern, self-organizing traffic management algorithms designed for being applicable even at low penetration rates, asserting their usability from the very first deployment days on. COLOMBO will focus on two traffic management topics: traffic surveillance and advanced traffic light control algorithms. Herein, cost-efficiency and the reduction of vehicular emissions will be the project’s key objectives. Both results are assumed to be more than a pure technology step. Rather than that, they lay the foundations for new, cost-effective and comprehensive way to measure and handle traffic. Additional results will include prototypes for incident and emission monitoring at intersections, going far beyond current state of the art. COLOMBO will achieve its tasks by bringing together experts and methods in swarm intelligence, optimization, communication, traffic light control, traffic simulation, and vehicular emissions modelling.

Biophotonic applications offer a broad range of innovative solutions, e. g. for the ageing society in industrialised countries, for improved health care in third world countries, for surveilling and safeguarding the environment, and for controlling food and drinking water quality. Such biophotonic solutions may relate to analytics, screening, imaging, therapy or surgery techniques. This ERANET-PLUS on Biophotonics aims to consolidate the respective funding activities in the participating countries and regions and to achieve the best possible exploitation of the resources and the innovative potential of European industry and science. This shall be achieved through a joint call primarily focusing on Biophotonics methods and applications that are translatable into products on the short term. On the one hand, already existing biophotonic technology shall be further developed, refined and combined to the stage of pre-commercial demonstrators which should easily be convertible to commercial products. The pre-commercial demonstrator should be used in application fields with a high societal and/or economic relevance for Europe such as medicine (including veterinary medicine), environment, cosmetics, food and drug quality & safety. On the other hand, seed funding shall be provided to promising application-oriented approaches at an early stage of the value chain. The R&D projects (to be) funded under this joint call are expected to perceptibly contribute to increase the health, well-being and security of the European citizens in the near future. The main activities in the framework of BiophotonicsPlus comprise the preparation of the joint call for proposals, the publication and promotion of the call, the joint evaluation and selection of the proposals and the monitoring of the selected R&D projects.

FABULOUS will design, develop and characterize new Silicon Photonics components for application in next-generation passive optical networks (NG-PON2), particularly in a WDM/FDM architecture based on reflective ONU. These components will be integrated onto a multi-functional optoelectronic chip, that will then be the core of a full-blown system demonstrator. FABULOUS will address the following objectives: • Design, fabrication, characterization, optimization and monolithic/hybrid integration of photonic and electronic components to implement a low-cost/low power consumption R-ONU, using Silicon Photonics, CMOS/BiCMOS and III-V-on-silicon technologies. The final packaged device will integrate RX/TX functionality, electronic functions and optical amplification into a single chip. • Experimental study of the proposed NG-PON2 architecture and optimization of its many free parameters. • Development of a full system PON prototype carrying real Ethernet traffic to demonstrate the architecture effectiveness and to showcase the potential of Silicon Photonic devices into a realistic system testbed. • The electro optic components developed in Fabulous can find applications also other PON architectures. The project already involves two external industrial partners (ZTE and NEC) that support this activity, interacting with the consortium partners and testing the FABULOUS electro optic devices. FABULOUS will demonstrate a cost- and energy-efficient solution for the NG-PON2 requirements set by Telecom operators within the FSAN group by addressing both components (through a potentially very low cost Silicon Photonic ONU) and system (through an architecture that allows each ONU to handle only its dedicated data traffic, and not the full aggregated bit rate, as in other NG-PON2 technologies). A part of the workplan is also dedicated to the interaction with relevant standardization bodies (in particular FSAN then ITU and potentially IEEE) to promote the proposed NG-PON2 solution.

Undertaking the problem of culture of trust in the use of information and communication technology in education is justified by an increase in the number of available technological tools and associated with this the valuation and educational usefulness of digital information. The main task of the project is to learn the elements of the culture of trust in order to understand the behavior of educational entities in situations of the usage of ICT tools and programs in globalizing societies. The object of study is formal education, non-formal and informal. The research will be carried out in diverse environments in terms of education, history, economy, politics and religion from a perspective of: critical and emancipator pedagogy (Poland), multimedia learning (Norway), sensory learning (Germany), value pedagogy (India), pedagogical aspects of evaluation (China), pragmatic pedagogy and social constructivism (USA). It is important to discover the elements of a culture of trust in consideration of diverse media messages because of their source (who is the author of the information, opinion, appeal, advice), content (what is the subject of information, opinion, appeal, advice), motives, objectives and circumstances of resorting to the transmissions (why in what situation). The project will result in: 1) educational rapprochement of cultures, 2) breaking down of stereotypes, 3) preparation of professional teacher training standards in establishing a culture of trust in the use of digital media.

The efficient and real-time exploitation of large streaming data sources and stored data poses many questions regarding the underlying platform, including: 1) Performance - how can the potential performance of the platform be exploited effectively by arbitrary applications; 2) Guarantees - how can the platform support guarantees regarding processing streaming data sources and accessing stored data; and 3) Scalability - how can scalable platforms and applications be built. The fundamental challenge addressed by the project is to enable application development using an industrial strength programming language that enables the necessary performance and performance guarantees required for real-time exploitation of large streaming data sources and stored data. The project's vision is to create a Java Platform that can support a range of high-performance Intelligent Information Management application domains that seek real-time processing of streaming data, or real-time access to stored data. This will be achieved by developing Java and UML modelling technologies to provide: 1) Architectural Patterns - using predefined libraries and annotation technology to extend Java with new directives for exploiting streaming I/O and parallelism on high performance platforms; 2) Virtual Machine Extensions - using class libraries to extend the JVM for scalable platforms; 3) Java Acceleration - performance optimisation is achieved using Java JIT to Hardware (FPGA), especially to enable real-time processing of fast streaming data; 4) Performance Guarantees - will be provided for common application real-time requirements; and 5) Modelling - of persistence and real-time within UML / MARTE to enable effective development, code generation and capture of real-time system properties. The project will use financial and web streaming case studies from industrial partners to provide industrial data and data volumes, and to evaluate the developed technologies.

The research project aims at integrating and combining economic, legal and engineering competencies to analyze the level of economic cooperation reached so far between China and Europe in the renewable energy and the environment industries and to identify specific areas to boost partnership opportunities. Using a multi disciplinary approach, the exchanged staff will work on three main research areas. The first one is focused on trade and investment flows and aims at identifying critical issues, gaps, and potentials in Europe-China relationships. Major effects of Europe-China agreements on foreign direct investments (FDI) and trade flows are examined. Problems encountered and opportunities to be seized at firm level will also be analyzed. The economic perspective is supported and enriched by the engineering and legal perspectives. Engineering knowledge is fundamental to defining concretely the sectors, products and processes which have high deployment potential. Engineering research activity is focused on two main research areas, both related with energy efficiency and carbon dioxide reduction: mobility and the transportation sector and low carbon buildings. The legal knowledge is relevant to understanding obstacles due to the regulatory environment, as well as to identifying appropriate solutions to enhance collaboration. Main investigation areas will be: offshore oil and gas and renewable energy; anti-dumping; environmental and social standards and corporate social responsibility. POREEN aims at increasing the availability of interdisciplinary studies, with a comprehensive overview of Europe-China relations. Developing integrated knowledge is fundamental to provide useful and reliable information to support EU and local policymakers, as well as companies working in/with China. POREEN should lay the ground for further related studies on this topic and establish integrated and interdisciplinary research links between European and Chinese centres of excellence.

We have entered the fascinating era of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Both the searches for new physics in proton-proton collisions and the investigations of the high-energy medium effects in heavy-ion (HI) collisions require a solid understanding of multiple gluonic interactions. With an increase in energy, gluon densities rise rapidly. When probed at very high energies, heavy nuclei and even protons appear as dense gluonic clouds. The main objective of this proposal is to further develop the theory of high-energy collisions of dense objects from first-principle calculations and to apply it to phenomenology at the LHC and at the proposed Electron-Ion and Large Hadron-electron Colliders. We focus on collisions involving HIs, where the effects of high densities become enhanced not only by energy but also by the number of nucleons in the nuclei. Our specific goals are: A: The derivation of an effective QCD-based theory for the initial phase of HI collisions. B: The achievement of a systematic phenomenological description of a certain class of measurements that are of particular importance for the HI program at the LHC. C: The theoretical support for future electon-hadron experiments. The objectives of this proposal will be achieved via strengthening and broadening of a long-lasting collaboration between research centers from EU and the US aiming at the development of a unified, QCD-based theoretical framework to describe the structure and collisions of hadrons and nuclei. The results of this study will facilitate a better understanding of a quantum field theory, such as QCD, beyond naive perturbation theory. Today, exploring QCD under extreme conditions, such as at high energy/density, is more important than ever due to its relevance for the LHC and future collider programs. In this project we address questions fundamental to understanding the experimental results.

The experienced senior researchers involved in the present proposal are members of global leading research groups in the fluid dynamics of sailing yachts. All of these three groups perform research, teach, and deliver consultancies in the field of fluid dynamics applied to sailing yachts. They have complementary specialist expertise, laboratories, and numerical modelling tools. For instance, UNEW has a towing tank, which allows the hydrodynamic forces acting on model-scale yachts to be measured, UOA has wind tunnels, which allow the aerodynamic forces on model-scale sails to be measured, and ECONAV has instrumented yachts where full-scale measurements of the aerodynamic forces are possible. It is expected that long-term collaborations between these three groups will be highly beneficial to each of them in order to develop new collaborative cutting edge research, and to enhance the knowhow and expertise of each participant. Also, these three global leading research groups aim to create an International Association of Yacht Engineers, which will promote and coordinate networking and activities for the promotion of research outcomes in the fluid dynamics of yachts. This will enhance the impact of the research in the yacht industry, and will facilitate the transformation of the research outcomes into technological innovations. In summary, the objectives of the proposal are as follows: 1. Gain new breakthroughs in the fluid dynamics of yachts through the synergy of collaborative research effort; 2. Enhance the expertise of the participants through the knowledge transfer of their complementary specialist expertise; 3. Enhance the impact of the research on the yacht industry and facilitate the transformation of research outcomes into technological innovations; 4. Enhance the cross-fertilisation of valuable knowledge in the area of expertise of the participants into different engineering fields.
