Based on previous collaboration, a group of 3 EU research organizations (from Italy, Portugal and Bulgaria) and 2 non-EU research organizations (from USA and Brazil), experienced in the area of research on environmentally friendly (soft) coastal protection methods, decided to bring together their expertise in an IRSES network - the project EnviCOP (Environmentally Friendly Coastal Protection in a Changing Climate). EnviCOP aims at strengthening research partnerships between the above organizations, primarily through short period staff exchanges of 14 Early stage and 7 Experienced researchers, as well as through various networking activities. Research activities of the project will focus on work-out/improve/coordinate advanced tools (numerical simulation and physical models) that are able to forecast short term and long term phenomena with respect to coastal protection in a changing climate. The project is expected to provide improved process understanding, new knowledge, methods, new and improved numerical and physical model tools, resulting in introducing new and improved environmentally friendly coastal protection structures. Project objectives will be pursued by exploring the available experience and scientific potential of all partners, using complementarities and creating synergies, based on existing previous collaboration. Project output should finally serve decision makers in strengthening emergency planning arrangements, improving co-ordination of coastal erosion and surface water flood risk; managing the investment of significant levels of public funding, and helping coastal communities adapt to climate change.

The quality of data on health at the population level varies widely across the world. In areas which lack general routine data (and which are often also impoverished in other respects), much can be learnt from detailed studies of populations in specific local areas. One such population in South Africa, the Agincourt Centre, occupies a world-leading position in this respect, having followed a defined population since 1992 and accumulated around one million person-years of data. As such it serves as a methodological incubator from which new techniques for measuring population health can be disseminated throughout Africa and Asia. The purpose of this research exchange programme is to permit researchers from the Agincourt Centre to work collaboratively with researchers in leading European centres, who in turn will also spend time engaging with field-based implementations and evaluations in South Africa. The exchange programme is built on a solid foundation of less-intensive collaboration during the past decade, the primary aim now being to consolidate and accelerate the partners’ joint programmes of work. The outputs will include a substantial number of scientific papers, completed PhD training for two staff from Agincourt (implemented on a “sandwich” basis as an integral part of the exchange programme), and methodological developments which can be put into practice across Africa and Asia.

It is now clear that there are multiple regulatory pathways that orchestrate the interplay between the skeleton and other organs to maintain the correct homeostasis of the body. INTERBONE is an interdisciplinary network for international exchange of scientists which will study the central role of the skeleton in three areas of health. INTERBONE will coordinate research and training activities between 5 institutions in Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, India and USA each with highly complementary and distinctive expertise. Work on energy metabolism will build on previous research findings that suggest a link between bone derived signals, glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The network will also investigate the role of candidate secreted factors in the disruption of hematopoiesis in the development of leukemia. These activities will utilize new conditional knockout mouse models. Research on fracture repair and tissue regeneration will address biomaterials interactions with cells, and stimulation of angiogenesis in fracture repair with biophysical approaches. The planned research collaboration is supported by a programme of staff exchanges, training and networking activities. The network will involve regular meetings integrated with established international conferences in bone-related research, which will support networking and dissemination, a workshop on tissue regeneration and angiogenesis, and a programme of webinars. The staff to be exchanged will comprise 13 ESRs and 7 ERs who will benefit greatly from the transfer of knowledge and international experience. INTERBONE also makes a contribution to the opening of the European Research Area to international cooperation, and interaction with three of Europe’s strategic global partners in this emerging interdisciplinary area of research.

The WHO estimates that the metabolic disease diabetes will become the leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality by the year 2020, severely affecting both developed and developing countries. Diabetic microvascular complications affect eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Hyperglycaemia is the most important risk factor for diabetic microangiopathy. However, the mechanisms by which poor glucose control mediates functional and structural changes are poorly understood. New insight into the key pathogenic pathways is crucial for novel therapeutic strategies to prevent and cure these diabetes-associated microvascular complications. EULAMDIMA builds on a novel and unique international focus on microvascular mechanisms as outlined in the FP-7 programme DIAMAP. It has a multidisciplinary and translational approach combining state-of-the-art platforms of (pre-)clinical expertise with expertise in vascular or neuronal biology, novel model systems, and endothelial targeted therapeutic strategies. It fosters the exchange of knowledge by making use of international complementary expertise and provides access to fundamental genetic and environmental data. The present scheme contributes to the construction of new and the enhancement of existing networks. It builds on the UMCG-UHEI cooperation established within the International Research Training Group GRK880 “Vascular Medicine” as well as the cooperation between UMCG and the Latin American partners UNAM and UNAB within the Abel Tasman Talent Programme. EULAMDIMA ultimately aims to define novel targets for the treatment of microvascular complications related to diabetes to help alleviate the immense burden that is posed on both individuals and societies.

Numerical relativity, the gauge/gravity duality and trans-Planckian scattering have been tremendously active and successful areas in gravitational/high energy physics in recent years. They are strongly motivated by direct experimental connections: gravitational wave detection, probing strong interactions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and even black hole production at the LHC. Numerical relativity methods, applied to black holes, will be essential (and powerful) in studying these high energy physics topics. Such merging is a new born field, pioneered by the proponents. It involves a strong numerical effort, requiring access to supercomputing facilities, expertise in theoretical and phenomenological modeling in high energy physics and contact with research teams working on dedicated experiments in particle accelerators. The necessary numerical relativity techniques have only very recently reached a state of sufficient maturity, which, together with the ongoing scientific runs at LHC and the beginning of science runs for advanced LIGO in the near future make this research programme extremely timely. This action will be instrumental in mainting the existing collaboration and synergies between the proponents, and stimulating European leadership in this flourishing research field.

The overall objective of the project is to bring together an international and interdisciplinary research teams for the purpose of forming a center for research and transfer of knowledge in the area of international migration. Migration is an international phenomenon that transcends national boundaries. It is no longer limited to only few areas of the world, with many new migration systems having established themselves over the last 20 years. The project will take predominantly economic and socio-economic perspective. The team will commence its work from a clear standpoint: migration phenomena are similar across the world and there are many tools to investigate them that can be used successfully in various geographic areas. Promoting universal scientific approach, the project is going to trespass geographical and political fragmentation of this study area. Instead it will focus on commonalities across three migration systems:  European Union – Mediterranean countries  Russian Federation – Commonwealth of Independent States  European Union – Commonwealth of Independent States The exchange program will facilitate the following technical cooperation: 1. Exchange of expertise as regards measurement of various types of money transfers and their impact; 2. Exchange of expertise on researching criminal activities in labour market in various migration systems; 3. Exchange of experience in analyzing of the factors determining the formation of the centres of labour gravity and sharing the methodology of estimating the dynamics of human capital flows. In order to achieve these aims, the partners will engage in five work packages that will include both research collaboration and hands-on experience. The first will be achieved through interactive exchanges and structured seminars and workshops, as well as supporting lectures; the second will be achieved by focused field visits.

This proposal deals with electronic embedded systems, i.e., with electronic systems which have been designed to perform a dedicated task. These systems must match specific constraints demanded by the targeted application, and may include cost, performance, real-time capabilities, volume, weight, and power. The last parameter emerged as a crucial one in the last decade, not only because of the increasing popularity of portable devices, but also because of the growing concerns about energy. At the same time, the reliability issue is becoming increasingly important, due to the widespread adoption of embedded systems in applications where failures may cause relevant damages, either to persons, or to the environment, or even from an economical point of view, where low cost devices must still ensure quality of service. Finally, new semiconductor technologies will be increasingly less reliable, which means that the chance of manufacturing fault-free components will be very low, thus reducing significantly the yield of the electronic products production process: this is raising the issue of producing reliable systems with unreliable components, possibly resorting to redundancy and using components where faults have been located and can be managed. This proposal aims at creating a network of research groups with international excellence in this area, and plans to combine their complementary knowledge with three main goals: • Developing new techniques able to provide effective solutions when embedded systems are required for which the traditional constraints have to be complemented with specific constraints in terms of power/energy consumption and reliability • Training new researchers in this area, while educating them to cooperate at the international level • Supporting the exchange of ideas and techniques inside and outside the project consortium, involving not only the academia, but also the interested companies.

The objective of this project is to enhance knowledge in the construction, identification and estimation of dynamic structural microeconomic models that are used for policy evaluation. This research proposal is built up having specific economic applications in mind as these applications involve inter-temporal trade-offs for a single or several decision makers. It first seeks to develop original identification results in these applications and attaches special attention to partial identification issues and constructive identification results so as to easily derive estimation techniques. In each specific application, empirical estimates using micro-data will then be used to construct and analyse counterfactuals. The whole sequence of original identification, estimation and prediction results aims at enhancing the quality and credibility of economic policy evaluations. These research questions will be addressed in frameworks in which dynamic choices are continuous such as the ones regarding human capital investments or discrete such as the college choice decisions. This extends to dynamic games as in the analysis of firms' entry into a market. This research proposal develops micro-econometric analyses devoted to earning dynamics, consumption smoothing and incomplete markets, firms' entry, school matching mechanisms as well as to the dynamics of undergraduate studies and the dynamics of retirement. It involves studies in labor economics, consumer behavior as well as financial econometrics, empirical industrial organization and the economics of education. One last theme of this project is devoted to research in theoretical econometrics analyzing questions derived from the empirical projects. Each empirical project will cross fertilize others and will feed up theoretical econometric analyses related to point or partial identification in various dimensions. In turn, theoretical analyses will inform identification and estimation in each of those specific applications.

The goal of this project is to develop multiscale theoretical models of biocompatible metallic nanomaterials and apply them for the analysis, design and optimization of the materials. Two groups of titanium based nanomaterials are considered (while the methods developed should be applicable to other metallic materials as well): nanostructured commercially pure titanium and shape memory NiTi alloy. The multiscale model of nanostructured titanium (nTi) includes atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) discrete dislocation dynamic model (DDD) of the nucleation, interaction and movement of dislocations, crystal plasticity models mechanical behavior of Ti nano-grains, coupled texture and substructure evolution model for severe plastic deformation of polycrystalline Ti, micromechanical analysis of the grain sizes and microstructures on the mechanical properties. The atomistic and micromechechanical modeling of martensitic transformation (or reorientation) lattice strain of NiTi alloys is carried out. The biocompatibility of these two groups of materials (MD modeling of the interactions between metallic nanoparticles and biological molecules) is studied theoretically. The theoretical studies and recommendations are validated experimentally and in practice.
