We propose a multi-site ITN consisting of 8 Full and 3 Associated Partners that will deliver a total of 500 ESR-months of training in the physics and techniques of Monte Carlo event generators to a total of at least 15 long-term and 40 short-term appointed researchers. Monte Carlo event generators are central to high energy particle physics. They are used by almost all experimental collaborations to plan their experiments and analyze their data, and by theorists to simulate the complex final states of the fundamental interactions that may signal new physics. We intend to build on the success of our RTN MCnet, by creating an ITN incorporating all the authors of current general purpose event generators, with the main purposes of: (a) training a large section of our user base, using annual schools on the physics and techniques of event generators and short-term residencies of Early Stage Researchers as a conduit for transfer of knowledge to the wider community; (b) training the next generation of event generator authors through a significant number of dedicated studentships in our research groups; (c) providing broader training in transferable skills through our research, through dedicated training in entrepreneurship and employability and through secondments to private sector partners. We will achieve these training objectives both through dedicated activities and through our outreach and research activities: (d) enhancing the visibility of particle physics in the wider community by specific outreach projects using event generators to visualize current particle physics research; (e) developing and supporting the new generation of event generators intended for use throughout the LHC data analysis era and beyond; (f) playing a central role in the analysis of LHC data and the discovery of new particles and interactions there; and (g) extracting the maximum potential from existing data to constrain the modeling of the data from the LHC and future experiments.

The International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IIMCB) was created with the support of UNESCO, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and the Polish Government and started its activity in 1999. The Institute is a unique, innovative, based on the best world standards research centre, known for it’s scientific excellence. In 2010, IIMCB was ranked first among 36 biological institutions in Poland. However, our aim is to position us at a level of excellence comparable to the best European entities.To achieve this goal, we plan to create the FishMed Centre to be the first zebrafish research and breeding facility in Poland. Zebrafish is an excellent organism to study various aspects of human disease because it is fully transparent until adulthood, and its metabolism is similar to that of mammals. The FishMed Centre proposal has five objectives that can be achieved, documented, and verified. The first objective is the twinning of seven IIMCB groups with six excellent European zebrafish centres. These include the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, the Universities of Cambridge, Leiden, Sheffield, and Geneva, and an Austrian Institute of Science and Technology. The twinning Partners will share their zebrafish models and know-how in joint projects with regard to cancer, neurodegeneration, epigenetics, and tissue regeneration. The second objective is to develop a zebrafish breeding facility and organize a new research group headed by a leader selected in an international competition. The third objective is to upgrade equipment. The last two objectives are to increase the innovation potential of IIMCB through reinforcement of the technology transfer unit and create a visibility platform to interact with scientific and non-scientific communities. Thanks to FishMed Centre, we will make IIMCB more attractive to excellent new group leaders and experienced researchers, and we will have higher innovation potential, measured by medically relevant discoveries, patent applications, and license agreements.

Diverse consequences relating to inevitable climate changes including changed weather patterns and invasive species, globalization and the urgent need for the development of sustainable food production systems present enormous challenges for the agricultural sector. The need for sustainable, however, also sufficiently high agricultural production is primarily a scientific challenge because of insufficient knowledge of processes related to changing conditions and competing economic and environmental goals. The specific situation in Slovenia, characterized by overall small enterprises consisting of small fields or orchards in mainly hilly areas require the development of novel concepts for resisting global changes. CropSustaIn aims at significantly improving scientific research for the development of sustainable crop production and environmentally friendly plant protection strategies in Slovenia at changing climatic conditions. A key objective of the project is the creation of a new network integrating the Agricultural institute of Slovenia (KIS), through the collaboration of national and international research institutions, agricultural holdings and companies. Newly established links of KIS with leading European agricultural research institutions will provide access to foreign knowledge flanked with technological modernizations through CropSustaIn. The project therefore allows integration of Slovenia into the European Research Area. Implementation of CropSustaIn will be beneficial for the scientific and applied community in Slovenia dealing with plant health and also other European countries can profit from it. CropSustaIn enforces close collaboration between researchers at KIS and the industry and allows optimized result exploitations. Once the network is established it will allow the dissemination of innovations and renewed collaborations between any partners also beyond the project’s life time.

Researchers’ Night in Sweden, ForskarFredag (Researchers’ Friday), FF, will unite 21 events in 27 cities across the whole of Sweden. The project will bring the general public face-to-face with researchers through fun and hands-on activities in festive, central and unexpected environments on 28th September 2012. It will be coordinated by VA (Public & Science) as in 2006-2011. FF2012 will build on the success of previous years, drawing on experience, contacts and the ever-increasing national profile and awareness of what has become a recognised national event. Local event organisers will be universities, science centres, municipalities and a regional council. Extensive use of wide-ranging local networks with industry will make sure each event has a local, individual angle. By reaching out to all corners of Sweden people will see local research in a national and international context. This year a uniting theme will be “local research: do you know what goes on in your area?” Events will be planned locally and brought together under the national FF umbrella. National activities will include a mass experiment, a researchers’ communication contest Forskar Grand Prix in connection with FF events and a joint website. This will ensure a unanimous message: “Researchers are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs”, as well as common objectives and a shared identity through graphical and marketing materials. The estimated visitor total is at least 25.900. A coordinated awareness campaign will be implemented from the early stages and will exploit a range of media. The combined media coverage is expected to be 5 million Swedes (over 50 % of the population). Impact will be assessed through measuring visitor numbers and media coverage, and through questionnaires for both participating researchers and the visiting public. Findings from the impact assessment will be disseminated through the project participants’ networks and at national and international conferences.

Soil Resetting technology is an alternative resource efficient and eco-innovative solution to widely used soil sterilization methods such as chemical fumigation and steaming, that has demonstrated to increase crop productivity by up to 40%. Soil Resetting, used for pre-plant management and control of soil borne pathogens, is an innovative biological shock therapy technology that consists on creating and accelerating anaerobic metabolism in the soil in two steps, (1) incorporating Herbie ® product (organic matter based protein-rich product arising from agro-industrial by-products) and (2) sealing the soil limiting the entrance of oxygen. Soil Resetting technology has been successfully demonstrated for North European soils, climates, crops and market , however it is still required a further optimization of Soil Resetting technology and its application method, as well as making the necessary adaptations for its market implementation in Europe, including the drier Mediterranean soils. This will enable the positioning Thatchtec as the main supplier for this technology and innovation soil restoration of horticultural market in Europe reaching and accelerating Thatchtecs full growth potential. Our main target markets are (1) conventional horticultural companies, currently facing new regulations and restrictions in the use of soil chemical fumigants, and (2) organic horticultural companies, being priority three crucial countries namely Spain, Italy and Greece (since market launch in early 2020) and mid Southern France, Croatia, Cyprus and, Egypt and Morocco in a second phase (from 2022 onwards). Within the Phase I of the project a technical feasibility analysis will be carried out in order to for the upgrade and adaptation of Soil Resetting Technology to the complexity of soil-borne scenarios and horticulture practices including the intensification of the application methods.

Poetry Off the Page (PoP) will reveal an alternative ‘literary’ history of the period 1965-2020 by shifting the focus from the written to the spoken word. It will launch a new interdisciplinary methodology for studying poetry’s oral mode and firmly establish poetry performance research as a global discipline. Its central question is how spoken-word poetry’s semantics of presence and embodiment have shaped the “meaning” and functions of poetry, within and across national boundaries. PoP acknowledges that poetry performance upsets the traditional text/context distinction of literary studies. Embracing a double focus on the aesthetics of spoken word and the institutional and media infrastructures in which poetry performance has thrived, PoP will capture the formal innovations and cultural work of poetry performance, its functions as a form of public address, as well as its relation to received literary history (e.g. “de-colonising” and “gendering” the canon). Moreover, the project will highlight the much-neglected transnational aspects of oral performance that are of vital significance especially with regard to emerging communications technologies and postcolonial positionalities. More broadly, PoP critically investigates the role of orality in literate cultures at the crossroads of self-performance, community-building, and their technological mediation. The three methodological pillars of the PoP project are archival research, close listening/viewing aided by digital humanities tools, and qualitative interviews with performance practitioners (poets, spoken-word agents, programmers, producers). On the meta-level, we will create a sophisticated theoretical and methodological framework for interpreting our findings – informed by disciplines such as sound studies, persona studies, life-writing studies, and performance studies, and including sociological constellation analysis and Actor-Network Theory – so as to lay a sound foundation for future scholarship in this field.
