Project Name BASTION: Broadcast And Surveillance TechnologIes Over Networks Abstract The main objective of the BASTION project is to research and develop new applications for the Broadcast Market, and for the Security and Surveillance Markets. Both applications will be built on top of the Internet Protocol network, which will allow distributing the applications over several physical sites. The cameras will be located on one or more sites, and the monitoring/control room will be on a separate site. The main benefit of this distribution is that it will enable • increasing the efficiency for producing live Broadcast content by a factor of 2-3, by sending only camera personnel to remote sites, and having the main production team in the home studio to do several programs in a single day. • integrating high-quality and high-resolution (HD and higher) image sensors in a networked infrastructure to detect, recognize and identify Surveillance and Security issues when observing long distance or large-scale events. To achieve this objective, innovations will be required in 7 technology domains. These innovations will be achieved by close cooperation of the whole consortium. Two demonstrators, to which all partners will contribute, will be presented at the end of the project as proof of concept. Intermediate and incremental demonstrators will be tested in order to reduce the risk in the project. The BASTION project is based on an excellent consortium, divided over 4 countries (B, F, NL, and UK), containing 5 SMEs (Axon, Adimec, Grass Valley, Caeleste, and Camargus), 2 research institute (iMinds and Armines), 3 semiconductor companies (Altera, Caeleste and e2v) and 2 end users (Sagem and Videohouse). The prime partner Axon is an SME. The innovate work performed in BASTION is relevant to 4 of the Grand Challenges as proposed in the Annual Working Plan (AWP) 2013.

Competition between phases occurring in solid-state reactions in metallic nanosystems is of critical importance in advanced materials technologies. The present Project focuses on materials already being used or are being considered as candidates for application in advanced joining technologies. The principal goals of application are: (i) to tune interface reactions in nano-structured Ni/Al, Ti/Al and Cu/Sn systems and (ii) to determine the thermodynamic driving forces and activation energies (i.e. the kinetic barriers) for interfacial segregation and grain-boundary wetting in binary alloys (Ag-Cu, Al-Si and Al-Cu). By developing the understanding of basic physical and chemical background of the phenomena the Project will focus on : (i) experimental investigations of dynamic atomic diffusion at nanocrystal facets and variable interfaces at low and high temperatures (in ultrafast laser-induced surface quasi-liquid and liquid layers) in silver nanoparticles and nanowires with reference to the melting process; (ii) analytical modelling and atomistic simulation of interdiffusion processes accompanying intermediate phase formation in nano-film couples; (iii) analytical (mean-field-based) modeling of ordering and Kirkendall voiding in solid-solution and intermetallic phases and (iv) development of modeling of nanoscale structural transformations in solids at different temperatures using ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) methods, atomistic simulation techniques (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics) and the phase field crystal method. Apart from the realization of particular research task, the networking between the project participants will aim at integration of the research capacities and creation of a new powerful and very efficient international scientific milieu.

Low-dimensional carbon structures such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have raised tremendous interest in recent years both from fundamental and technological perspectives. However, the tunability of the density of electronic states of graphene and carbon nanotubes remains a limiting factor for their implementation in modern nanotechnology. It has been recently shown that the energy bandgap of graphene-based materials can be tailored via chemical modification of the graphene surface, e.g. by fluorination. We focus our efforts on tuning the chemical and physical properties of nanocarbon materials using different fluorination techniques and varying the degree of fluorination. A multidisciplinary approach will be applied ranging from fundamental research in chemistry and physics to studying the materials properties for application in electronics, photonics, and biomedicine. It is anticipated that the final outcome of this project will be a novel nanocarbon-based material with specific advanced properties.

The strategic objective of the whole FP7 is to support research in all areas, including the Science in Society. The major goal of the Seventh Framework Programme for research and Technological Development is to keep the EU as a world leader. The European identity, cultural diversity and political changes could be the key issue in the encouragement of societal dialog on research policy, stimulating all players to be more active in research, promoting shared values among EU countries and the third countries. The proposed research project brings together 8 European universities and research centres from France, Germany, United Kingdom, Portugal, Italy, Belguim, Poland, Hungary ( EU MS coutries), Moldova (AC) and 7 participant institutions from Russian Federation (third country). It builds on existing cooperation in frame of international networks and associations of European Studies and will enhance the already active collaboration in the fields of European identity and cultural diversity. The establishment of this staff exchange program will in addition promote and strengthen the complementarity of the participants involved and will boost collaborative research activities. The primary objective of this international and interdisciplinary group of research team is to form an excellent center of synergy in research and knowledge transfer in the area of European studies. It is supposed to establish long lasting collaborations through exchange of people and realization of different activities, including meetings and workshops. The main aim of the proposal is to contribute to mutual understanding between nations, development of intercultural communications, identification of similarities and differences of views from European and Russian, Ukrainian sides and search for overcoming of contradictions on the issue of perception of what Europe is, its geographical and cultural borders, what people in project partner countries put into the words “being a European”.

Plant senescence is a genetically controlled process modulated by environmental factors. A number of genes that influence ageing have been identified over the recent years; while mutations in most of them accelerate senescence, some delay senescence and thus extend lifespan. Experimental evidence strongly indicates that many more genes than functionally characterized so far contribute to the control of plant ageing. Moreover, very little is currently known about how these genes interact and to what extent developmental signals, environmental factors, phytohormones, and in particular the circadian clock modulate their activity and interactions. Recent research shows that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in the control of senescence. The aim of this project therefore is to uncover new elements of the ROS regulatory pathway that modulate senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana and to unravel the mechanisms by which these genes interact with each other and with the internal clock. Mutants with accelerated and delayed senescence, previously isolated by our teams, will be subjected to genetic, genomic, and biochemical analyses. Identification of the mutated genes causing the altered senescence, molecular analysis by RNAseq and qRT-PCR, proteome and metabolome profiling will help to understand how these genes regulate lifespan. Staff exchange is of crucial importance to the success of the project. The Bulgarian partner is an expert in ROS signaling, the German collaborator has expertise in transcriptional regulation of ROS-related genes, and the New Zealand partner brings in knowledge about the genetics and physiology of ageing and ROS - circadian clock interactions. Thus, the European and New Zealand partners mutually complement each other in their expertise and capabilities. Unraveling the genetic mechanisms of plant ageing and lifespan regulation is of both, fundamental and practical importance for generating crops with improved yield and shelf life.

The fruit is the result of the development of the ovary and it is a major evolutionary acquisition of flowering plants. Fruits likely evolved to protect the developing seeds and to ensure seed dispersal adopting an incredible array of morphologies and inventing many types of mechanisms for seed dispersal. Dry dehiscent fruits mechanically disperse the seeds, while fleshy fruits develop tasty tissues that induce fauna to eat them and therefore act as the dispersal agent. Dry dehiscent fruits (those that dry and open at maturity to release the seeds), correspond to the ancestral type of fruit (Knapp, 2002), however the fruit of the model specie Arabidopsis thaliana, the silique, with its specialized dehiscence zone, is a more recent evolutionary conquer. The overarching objective of this proposal ”The physiology and genetics of fruit formation: from genes to networks” (FRUIT-look), aims to strengthen research partnerships through short period staff exchanges and networking activities between European research organisations and American organisations. The research topic of this exchange programme concerns fruit formation. FRUIT LOOK aims to address the following key questions: Which are the genetic and molecular networks regulating fruit formation and morphology? Do plant hormones act as morphogens during fruit development? Can we elaborate a model able to explain fruit forms?
