The research objective of this proposal is to facilitate international collaboration and transfer of knowledge between international partners and to validate the hypothesis that the novel framework presented in Fig. 1 can be successfully used to generate parametric building models of buildings almost entirely automatically. The proposal’s most significant contributions will be, not only the automation of several mundane and repetitive processes with the addition of visual and spatial pattern recognition concepts in the modelling workflow, but also the exchange of knowledge and the building of transatlantic research collaborations on cutting-edge and high-impact scientific projects through the exchange of interdisciplinary staff among partner institutions and joint training of research teams on thematic areas of common research interest. The partners on this IRSES proposal have strong complementarities in their research interests and activities, and have already established synergies in their research endeavors that call for further strengthening. The international collaboration component of the proposed endeavor relies on the significant amount of interactivity between pairs of project participants and for the duration of the effort, aiming at the establishment of a long term, working relationship between researchers from different fields and countries, but with common research interests. These partnerships will bring together the senior personnel and their graduate and undergraduate students, and indirectly promote cross-pollination of their national and professional cultures. Furthermore, these partnerships will formalize frequent reciprocal visits of young researchers (graduate students and early career faculty members), and help establish formal exchange programs for undergraduate student researchers wishing to acquire some international experience while doing research and taking courses abroad.

This research exchange programme focuses on plant reproduction. The world population depends for its nutrition on agricultural crop products, mainly as seeds and fruits. Improvements of crop plants to achieve better yields under suboptimal growth conditions will be essential to keep up with the increase in world population and to reduce the impact of high yield farming on the environment. Most agricultural products, such as seeds and fruits, are derived from the reproductive process of flowering plants. Therefore, crop improvement requires a detailed understanding of flower and fruit development. Research on reference species, such as Antirrhinum, Arabidopsis and rice have revealed interconnected regulatory networks based primarily on transcription factors that guide the patterning and growth of flowers and fruits. We will focus on a fundamental, economically important and experimentally tractable biological system, plant reproduction, and we will take advantage of genomic and post-genomic tools to analyse the regulatory network controlling reproductive process. To obtain maximum benefit from a broad comparative analysis, we will focus on a key set of genetic interactions that clearly regulate flower development and cell fate in the reference species. However using a comparative approach, we aim to understand how evolutionary variation led to differences and/or similarities in reproductive processes in (crop) species. Detailed analysis of the network of regulatory genes controlling reproductive development in Arabidopsis represents the biological theme around which our training programme is built. The exchange of researchers between Italy, Spain, Mexico and Brazil will allow an intense collaboration between the research groups that will lead to the transfer of knowledge between the different laboratories. Furthermore, this project will also facilitate a durable network between these countries from which researchers will benefit now and in the future

Mining in the State of Minas Gerais (Brazil) is one of the activites with the strongest impact on the environment: heavy metals (Zn, Cd and Pb) and metalloids (As) pollute surface water, sediments and irrigated agricultural soils. This is a major drawback of this economical important activity. This project will focus on pollution of zinc mining activities in this Brazilian region. The pluridisciplinar aspect of this project (geology, mineralogy, environmental chemistry, microbiology and environmental biotechnology research fields) will first require an advanced training and knowledge transfer program through the organization a Summer-school (WP 1) that will be held in Belo Horizonte (Brazil). The research aspect of the project consists of 4 Work Packages. WP 2 studies mine wastes mineralogy and weathering (monitoring and risk assessments) in the surrounding of zinc mines. WP 3 describes metallurgical wastes mineralogy and weathering in the surrounding of zinc refinery plants. WP4 aims to develop an acid mine drainage treatment and metal recovery process with the help of biotechnological approaches and WP5 assesses the impact on agricultural irrigated polluted soils located downstream the mining and ore processing areas of Rio São Francisco. For each research WP advanced analytical techniques (i.e. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscope, Raman…) will be applied to study the mineralogy, the chemical composition (including heavy metals and metalloids speciation), the weathering and leachability of inorganic pollutants from mine waste and metal refinery wastes, soil pollution and mine drainage remediation. Equilibrated exchange of experienced and early stage researchers between involved partners will allow to establish high-quality research and knowledge transfer. WP 6 will synthesize and disseminate the findings of the project by the organization of an international symposium dedicated to mining pollutions and remediation technologies

The proposed exchange programme will allow us to strengthen the infrastructure of intellectual exchange between the EU (UK, Netherlands and Spain) and China. The short-term transfer of academic staff will facilitate the mutual exchange of domain specific knowledge and know-how, and by means of seminars and workshops, we intend to widen the scope of the programme, including as many (self-supported) external participants as possible, both from academia and industry. We place special emphasis on the development of early career researchers to allow PhD students to gain international experience by working with some of the world-leading research groups in the field. We intend to achieve the objectives of our exchange programme by jointly working on a series of research topics that have been chosen specifically to maximise the synergy between the partners. The overall research theme is nature inspired computation and its applications: The field of nature-inspired computation is a relatively new inter-disciplinary area of research that is concerned with the computational capabilities of natural systems and their interpretation in a computational framework. Each of the seven participants (3 in the EU and 4 in China) has dedicated research groups that are amongst the world&apos;s best in this highly relevant field of research. Each institute provides at least one leading researcher as a representative, with a total of twelve distinguished academics across all participants. The individual research efforts across all members are highly complimentary to one another and may be combined efficiently to widen our knowledge base. The collaboration is expected to generate high-impact research outcomes in the form of publications, seminars and workshops. The strengthening of the relationships between the EU and China will set the stage for long-term collaborations in the future and will provide the ERA with better access to the rapidly growing Chinese academic and industrial sectors.

Influenced by the developments in information and communication technologies and pressured by the dramatic changes in demographics in our societies, health care is and must be transforming to remain viable and of high quality. An important element in such changing health care is the emergence of personal health systems. Based on smart home environments and wearable, implantable, portable systems, citizens are empowered to manage their own health status. It enhances the opportunities for independent living of an ageing population, for instance by providing technology-driven support to Alzheimer’s patients in every-day tasks. It also provides personalized support for lifestyle management, including preventative opportunities. Such systems require data capturing and runtime data analysis technologies to be integrated, and must deal with fears, distrust and potential privacy infringements for its users (patients and citizens). In this proposal, we bring together these three elements: (i) data capturing software infrastructures for lifestyle management as being pursued by U. Trento, Italy (UniTn), (ii) data analysis as being researched in various contexts at the Catholic University of Rio Grande del Sul, Brazil (PUCRS) and (iii) research in trust and privacy as pursued in the context of health, inclusion and other application areas at Newcastle University, UK (UNEW). Leveraging the ongoing collaboration with health professionals and research institutes in health and ageing, we ground our technology-driven work in real-life. We propose an exchange program that includes both research and teaching elements. In so doing, the proposed exchange program creates unique transfer of knowledge between the partners, beneficial for each individual partner, shifting and synergising the focus of the three concerned research groups, and with an exciting potential for follow-up and parallel projects in this important area.

The main goal of the ENERsip project is to create an adaptive, customizable, and service-oriented ENERgy monitoring and control system for energy grids and decision makers. ENERsip is conceived on the idea that mixing energy, communications, control, computing and construction for the consumption and generation elements, must be active and proactively coordinated. To bring the idea into reality, ENERsip would provide an open Information platform that would allow optimising in near real-time generation and consumption matching in residential, commercial buildings and neighbourhoods. For doing so, ENERsip will create an open service-oriented architectural platform to allow create positive energy buildings and neighbourhoods by coordinating the consumers and the generators, while creating smart energy grids that will self feed with real-time information. Using advanced and novel communication protocols the information will be constantly exchanged through the ENERsip system, between energy grids, decision makers and users, helping consumers save energy using intuitive interfaces while maintaining the desired comfort levels. ENERsip is targeted to allow the emergence of an open electricity market by using components from different suppliers, unifying their protocols and providing reliable data exchange services, thus helping reinforce European industrial and technological position in ICT-enabled energy efficiency technologies. The ENERsip multinational well balanced consortium of industrial and research organizations, strengthened with the utility company, will focus on research, development and demonstration of ENERsip at field tests with concrete targets under real conditions, by introducing a managed positive-energy generation and consumption elements of the positive-energy buildings and neighbourhoods. The outcome of the adoption of ENERsip will allow setting new behavioural patters in the society and reduce overall intense economic dependence on energy.

It is beyond any doubt that environmental heat affects tremendously people’s physiological functioning and, in turn, their psychological, social and cultural well being. Classic heat illness and death are major public health issues during exposure to heat stress, particularly for infants, individuals with cardiovascular and respiratory disease and the elderly. The current proposal addresses several mechanisms that may explain the sequence of events leading to heat stroke and death and will improve the existing preventive strategies designed to mitigate heat-induced morbidity and mortality. The objective of the ICARUS joint exchange programme is to foster the development of a multi-national centre of excellence for environmental physiology through balanced exchanges of research staff between eminent European-based research entities and an internationally-renowned research centre based in a third country. The beneficiaries include the Institute Jozef Stefan (IJS) in Slovenia, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) in The Netherlands, and the Centre for Research and Technology Thessaly (CRT) in Greece. The partner is the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa. In this light, ICARUS fits perfectly within the scope of IRSES which aims in establishing long-term research cooperations through coordinated joint programmes of balanced research staff exchanges in thematic areas that are relevant to the European population. Moreover, the participants’ experience and specialisation in environmental physiology and particularly in research related to environmental heat exposure as well as their extensive infrastructures available will provide the level of quality required to transform the ICARUS joint exchange programme into a multi-national centre of excellence for environmental physiology.
