A central pillar of economic analysis is the assumption of exogenous preferences. This position however is specific to the discipline: other social sciences have always recognised that individuals may have endogenous preferences and values, influenced by the society in which they live. Recently however, there has been mounting evidence in the economic literature about the importance of cultural dimensions and their evolution to explain a variety of socio-economic phenomena. Taking that perspective seriously, the purpose of this project is to develop an economic approach of preferences evolution and cultural transmission interacting with the functioning of communities, organizations and markets. The key building block of the analysis is an economic framework of cultural transmission and socialization that I have been developing in the last decade (Bisin-Verdier 2000, 2001).This framework considers dynamic population models where preference transmission is partly the result of purposeful actions undertaken by socializing agents, and external influences embedded into specific socio-economic contexts. The project has two parts. First we propose to develop a set of new dimensions that relate to: a) who is transmitting and the motivations for transmission (multiple socializing agents, nested cultural transmission games), b) the content of what is transmitted (beliefs transmission), and c) the context of transmission (geography, space and social networks) The second part of the project presents applications of these new dimensions to two themes where a cultural transmission perspective appears to be relevant: a) The resilience of socially dysfunctional behaviours in local communities, b) the design and diffusion of corporate culture in firms.

Prominent aims to incorporate inkjet printing as a part of the MEMS fabrication process. By using maskless, digitally controlled, localized additive processes instead of the subtractive processes used currently, selected steps in the MEMS manufacturing can be done with simplified process sequence. This will result in • lower initial investment cost for a MEMS line • greatly increased flexibility in production, allowing for smaller batches • because of flexibility, easier prototyping and shorter time-to-market period in new devices • new features in the MEMS device • greatly reduced production costs, and • reduced environmental impact due to dimished use of materials, chemicals and water The process steps to be developed include via formation and fill, wafer bonding, formation of redistribution layers and deposition of functional materials in MEMS cavities. The project will develop new nanomaterial inks for the above purposes, and evaluate the cost effects of the new manufacturing methods. Europe has had a strong position globally in MEMS manufacturing, but with the tightening competition the pressure for cost reductions is increasing. Prominent will develop a novel low-cost manufacturing methods that are needed to keep the production of MEMS profitable in Europe and open possibilities for increasing business for for MEMS manufacturers, but also for ink and printing equipment manufacturers.

The movement of Africans and Europeans to the Americas through expansionism, colonialism, and slavery also brought to the New World African percussive rhythms and European musical instruments and courtly dances. This project investigates the social dances that evolved out of this encounter, and retained African rhythm structures and body movement in American and Caribbean diasporic spaces. Under transnational conditions, Afro-diasporic social dances such as Swing, Mambo, Salsa, and Zouk have been diffused through Europe, Asia and back to Africa. Indeed, from the 1920s onwards, people the world over, often disconnected from African cultures, have used dances marked by 'African' traces to fashion themselves as modern subjects. The project will examine these 'modern moves' and their transnational developments, to argue that Afro-diasporic rhythm cultures, as manifested in these transnationalised dances, are intrinsic to global modernity. An interdisciplinary research team, led by the coordinator, will study their kinetic dimension: how specific dance steps evolved in correspondence to musical styles; the sites for their enjoyment and proliferation; song lyrics as sites of memory; and the socio-historical conditions under which these dance styles are assimilated into competing rhythm cultures, from 'Bollywood' to the dance fitness craze 'Zumba'. Moving away from Postcolonial Studies' reliance on textuality to highlight bodily pleasure and spectacularity, we will investigate ‘AfroPolitanism’—the nourishing of these social dances in urban spaces-- and ask how and why Afro-diasporic rhythms connect ‘AfroPolitans’ from postcolonial worlds that speak different languages and have inherited divergent colonial histories. The category of 'kinetic transnationalism' will guide our analysis of modernity's moves, from intra-community preservation to transnational affiliations, while revealing the place of Africa and the 'AfroPolitan' in the history of modernity.

Drug delivery systems are a matter of intensive scientific investigation and technological developments. They are necessary since many active pharmaceutical ingredients to be employed in therapy, diagnostics or vaccination cause serious side effects when distributed non-specifically. Without a drug delivery system, the active pharmaceutical ingredients may accumulate in healthy and sensitive tissue, provoke adverse immune reactions, have poor solubility, low bioavailability and inefficient targeting. To meet these challenges, the key objectives of the proposed project are the development and testing of an innovative production technology for nanocapsules as a drug delivery system using centrifugation, colloidal and fluid mechanical techniques. These novel nanocapsules should be especially suited for proteins and other sensitive biomolecules which are vulnerable to degradation by existing encapsulation technologies. An immune protection consisting of a suitable polymer cover of the nanocapsules has to be developed to enable long circulation in human blood without provoking innate immune reactions by the complement, the coagulation and the phagocytic systems. Other than established polymer protection systems, the novel polymer protection should not be immunogenic to avoid accelerated blood clearance upon repeated administration. The nanocapsules have to prove to be sufficiently stable in human blood ex vivo. In vitro and in vivo tests in cancer models will be performed to compare drug efficiency, immune reactions and organ distribution of encapsulated and non encapsulated active pharmaceutical ingredients. Multidisciplinary research and innovation for nanomedicine is aimed for by collaboration in an intersectoral research team comprising mechanical and process engineering, pharmaceutical technology, immunology and cancer research.

NNATAC (New Numerical and Analytical Tools for Aerodynamic flow Control) is a network composed by a University (UPM) and a large industry (EADS-IW) of the aeronautical sector. The project aims to make stronger existing links between both sectors by proposing a common program of training and research to develop new tools for aerodynamic flow control. Flow control is an emerging technology which aims to produce breakthrough improvements of the aircraft performance with applications to separated flows around airfoils at high incidence and reduction of friction drag. The particular objectives of NNATAC combine the predominantly theoretical/numerical capabilities available to the academia side with state-of-the-art computational and experimental capabilities available to the industrial partner in furthering understanding of separated flow, flow control devices or friction drag, its instability and control, especially in the areas of environmental fluid mechanics. Additionally, the research program will include detailed training course, individual tutoring, and dissemination activities and specific and measurement advances in fluid mechanics problems of common interest.

The medium/heavy duty Diesel engine industry is facing new challenges for meeting the forthcoming emission regulations. Injection pressure above 2500bar and possibly reaching 3000bar and multiple injection strategy can drastically reduce the NOx/PM trade-off and allow use of cheap after treatment systems for meeting the set legislations. However, such injection strategies inevitably result to formation of cavitation which may have an adverse effect of the durability of the fuel injection system against surface erosion. This proposal will launch a knowledge-transfer programme between industries and Universities for designing durable fuel injection systems through use of existing as well as newly developed CFD models that will build upon those currently used by the industrial partners. These models will include effects not captured so far but believed to be of imperative importance: the prediction of cavitation surface erosion occurring upon collapse of cavitation bubbles. The new models will account for the effect of extreme pressure and temperature developing instantaneously at the time of bubble collapse. In addition, the heat produced during the fast acceleration of the fuel as it flows through the injection holes can result to flow boiling and thus, significantly alter the heat transfer characteristics between the flowing fluid and the metal of the injector. Models for boiling heat transfer will be included to the CFD models predicting the cavitating flow development and surface erosion. By exchanging personnel between the industrial and academic partners, a dedicated group of researchers will be formed that can make connections between engine legislations and operating conditions, availability of experimental data for cavitation erosion and advanced computational approaches that are required to fulfil the objective of this project. The result of this project is the development of innovative new model and a sustained collaboration beyond the end of this project.

SCANERGY, is a vehicle that will form and consolidate a team of researchers towards the development of intelligent algorithms for energy management in a smart city. SCANERGY implies several research and training activities with the objective to integrate it in the industrial domain and produce market results, in terms of products or services. The SCANERGY project proposes a novel SCAlable & modular system for eNERGY trading between consumers and producers (prosumers) in a local level. SCANERGY system will consist of different ICT modules allowing for distributed energy trading between prosumers. The modular and distributed nature of the system offer scalability and robustness to accommodate the growing need for an intelligent decision support system that manage the energy produced and consumed. SCANERGY will be build up by an intelligent multi-agent system that can manage the electricity produced and consumed from a lower level (dwellings) to a higher level (cities). In case of surplus of energy created by a household could be stored in local storage facilities, such as batteries or electric vehicles. The system will include an integration layer for the currently available energy infrastructure and will allow a near real-time coordinated control of the produced and consumed energy in a city. The software modules will implement innovative simulation and prediction models, both online and offline, as well as optimization algorithms that will leverage a more effective and rational usage of all resources available in a city. The proposal will enable a more efficient usage of renewable energy, the reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GGE), including the quantification of GGE reduction, the improvement of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and other comfort indicators. The high-level integrated computational management system will make use of all data and information that is available in real-time in all energy management systems existing in the city.

The interaction between the processes of design and analysis of mechanical components is at the core of industrial engineering. In particular in the very specialized and competitive field of designing highly-efficient aircraft engines, a large number of optimization loops is required to fully exploit the entire potential of efficiency with respect to various mechanical, aerodynamic and thermal objectives. On the one hand, the design process is performed with the help of suitable software tools, which represent the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD). In aircraft engine design, a combination of commercial products with highly specialized in-house software tools is used. On the other hand, the analysis process relies on software from the field of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). The interaction of these tools, which is needed for optimizing the engineering design with respect to various criteria, is not very well supported by the currently used mathematical technology for geometric design and numerical simulation. The main objective of the EXAMPLE project is as follows: Improve the design and analysis processes for the air passage of aircraft engines by enhancing the existing mathematical technology using the new approach of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) which was proposed by T.J.R Hughes et al. in 2005. This objective will be achieved by combing expertise of the academic partner on IGA, which was acquired during a previous European project on IGA, with the experience on design and analysis of aircraft engines which is available at the industrial partner. The two main workpackages in EXAMPLE will address the following two topics: (1) Volumetric Air Passage Modeling and Applications, in particular techniques for creating spline volume parameterizations of the air passage. (2) Adaptive Trivariate Spline Technology.

The ICEBERG project proposers intend to carry out a sound Transfer of Knowledge (ToK) in the SW Quality Assurance domain, with these twofold main objectives: 1. Boosting the researchers of the future: • creating a long lasting research network involving both the commercial and non-commercial sectors to foster co-operation based on joint research projects; • promoting innovation and knowledge transfer through secondment of researchers; • providing diverse career possibilities & research experience for researchers, knowledge sharing/exchange. 2. Starting from the Iceberg analogy, investigating, defining and implementing models-based process able to: • identify activities resulting from poor quality, • define how to estimate costs associated with i) testing activities in relation with a given quality and ii) missing, incomplete or wrong implementation of testing activities/phases, • collect data iteratively, and use it to estimate costs; • analyze results and support on decision-making on the next steps at quality management level in Telco and Finance domain. To achieve these main objectives, proposers will i) plan a well defined ToK, as well as ii) identify all the elements influencing the product/process cost and quality and create a shared database, to take advantage of the company’s historical data for parameterization of prediction models. The final results of the project will be to provide researchers with new research skills and broad horizons in SW Quality Assurance related to models-based process, oriented to support decision-making applicable in Telco and Finance. The models-based process and the proof of concept IT tool will be evaluated on real test cases provided by the industrial partners and extensively described in the ICEBERG handbook.
