The project is aimed at developing new methods to create ultracold gases with unexplored many-body properties, and we construct the theory to realize the proposed opportunities. We intend to develop new ideas to induce resonant, long-range, and many-body interaction between particles. This includes novel near-zero-field Feshbach resonances in gases tightly confined to 1 or 2 dimensions that will enable the exploration of the physics of spinor gases in ultralow magnetic fields (<1mG). The idea is that the resonating state of the closed channel is a field-tunable confinement-induced weakly bound state. By the low field one avoids field-induced accumulation of particles in a given Zeeman state and encounters a variety of novel many-body states with interaction-broken spin rotation symmetry. The new resonances for polar molecules in 2 dimensions (layers) are provided by their coupling to the interlayer 2-molecule bound state. This allows one to reduce the short-range 2-body interaction making a 3-body repulsion important for bosons, so that the resulting many-body states can be various supersolids. It is further proposed to work on intriguing open problems. The creation of an itinerant ferromagnet of 2-component fermions is blocked in 3D by the formation of weakly bound dimers at the strong intercomponent repulsion required by the Stoner mechanism. In 1D this state is impossible for contact interactions. Our idea is to include an antisymmetric interaction (p-wave in 3D), which can practically make the ground state ferromagnetic. We then focus on non-conventional transport of rotational excitations of polar molecules randomly distributed in a deep optical lattice. The amplitude of hopping of an excitation from an excited to a ground state molecule decays as a cubic power of the distance between them. This is a long-range behavior which may lead to Levy flights, antilocalization, algebraic localization of the excitations, and we develop a theory of all these regimes.

During the Lithuanian EU Presidency Mykolas Romeris University (Lithuania) proposes to organize an international conference “Horizons for Social Sciences and Humanities“ in Vilnius on 23-24th September, 2013. The Steering Committee of the conference will include distinguished European scientific leaders from different fields of social sciences and humanities, chaired by Professor Helga Nowotny, Professor emeritus of ETH Zurich and currently President of the European Research Council. Prior to the conference a scientifically guided consultation with leading European researchers, universities, research organizations and societies is envisaged. The conference is dedicated to the relations of social sciences and humanities and science / research policy, in particular “Horizon 2020”. The first day of the conference will be organized along three thematic topics: 1) Diversities and Common Grounds, 2) Evaluation and Assessment, 3) Education and Training. Following these topics, the second day of the conference will focus on the questions, what is the role of SSH in “Horizon 2020”, and what capacities are needed to meet the challenges addressed in it? The conference is organized in order to bring together scholars from SSH and other disciplines, business companies and policy makers, industry and media representatives, about 400 people, and work towards a better visibility, integration, and implementation of SSH into science and research policies. Based on the results of the consultation process and conference discussions, a declaration will be prepared. The conference homepage will be developed which will serve not only as the main site for information but will be also used as repository for all documents submitted to the consultation. A special issue in one of the prestigious journals on research policy and extensive media coverage of the conference is foreseen.

The SOAR open-fan wing technology at the focus of this project is a new concept that distributes the thrust and powered-lift over the entire span of the wing resulting in a model-proven lift efficiency three times that of helicopters as well as truly quiet U-STOL performance and safe autorotation landing. Wind tunnel testing augmented by CFD simulations during the SOAR programme are expected to bring improvements in lift efficiency, flight speed and cruise economy on the order of 10% to 20% relative to those seen on small-scale wind tunnel and flight models. The experimental data collected in this programme will be incorporated in a common aircraft design study targeting a certain mission range. The aircraft is developed in two versions - one passenger and one freight aircraft. The passenger version carries about 60-70 passenger. The freighter version is able to carry up to eight tons of freight. These two aircraft projections, based on the same wing and propulsion system, will subsequently be evaluated in terms of their direct operating cost in comparison with competing types such as conventional STOL aircraft, helicopters and Tilt-rotor aircraft. It is believed that the SOAR open-fan wing technology, to be developed during this programme, will provide significant technical data at a much larger scale than previously; and this will eventually lead to a new class of aircraft with attractive operational and economic features.

This project proposes the investigation of radically new airspace design concepts for scenarios, which are extreme when compared to today in terms of traffic density, complexity and constraints. Extrapolating the current developments in aerospace technology, it is considered likely that the following two new types of air vehicles will have arrived in the second half of this century: - personal air vehicles, used for door-to-door transport, controlled semi-automatically - unmanned, autonomous flying cargo vehicles in different weight classes and sizes Considering the door-to-door aspect, even with inter-local trips, the personal vehicles will especially cause congestion in and around cities. From the same door-to-door philosophy, it follows that the smallest cargo Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will fly in high numbers and even within cities. This brings up a completely new challenge for Air Traffic Management (ATM): urban airspace design. The challenge is to provide a concept which can handle high volumes, many constraints and autonomous control for these vehicle types. Apart from being prepared for this potential revolution in aerospace, there is a more fundamental, but still practical, question underlying this challenge. Research so far has shown, that in today’s en-route airspace, dispersing the traffic over the airspace and reducing therefore the structure, reduces the number of potential conflicts and therefore increases both capacity and efficiency. In the urban airspace scenarios, many envision that these extreme traffic densities will require a very well defined, very structured airspace. The question is: Is this true? And if so, what causes this reversal? This project has 2 main goals: - Exploratore options for future urban airspace design - Provide a better understanding of air traffic using extreme scenarios The knowledge gained through studying these radical scenarios for air transport will impact the airspace and traffic complexity.

Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of EU CO2 emissions, whilst the transportation sector is responsible for about 30% of the EU CO2 emissions. Achieving energy performance of neighbourhoods, including buildings, transportation systems and other supporting systems, is key to achieving the EU Climate & Energy objectives, namely a reduction of 20% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2020 and a 20% energy savings in primary energy use by 2020. These challenging environmental targets can be met only by a mix of energy-saving and energy-efficiency measures, together with other relevant actions achieved through research and innovation. Improving the energy consumption and holistic performance of buildings and neighbourhood systems is a cost-effective way of fighting against climate change and improving energy security, while also creating new markets and new job opportunities, particularly in the building sector. COOPERATE will develop an open, scalable neighbourhood service and management platform that integrates local monitoring and control functions with a cloud based service platform for the delivery of innovative energy management, security and other services in order to progress towards energy positive neighbourhoods and achieving 2020 targets. COOPERATE will carry out a substantial validation of the concepts in two validation sites, the Bouygues Challenger campus and the CIT Bishopstown campus. In doing so, COOPERATE addresses the challenges of the call by developing management and control systems, and decision-support systems addressing the dynamics of energy supply and demand in neighbourhoods. COOPERATE will optimise the use of energy beyond the buildings, includes the integration of renewable energy sources and the connection to the electricity distribution grid, and will consider appropriate business models.

The aim of MOBILEX - Mobility Programme for Experienced Researchers is to enhance experienced researcher mobility by establishing a new instrument for research mobility in the Danish Council for Independent Research. The MOBILEX programme will constitute a new avenue of international research mobility within the ERA and beyond which will not be competing for resources with other instruments of the Danish Council for Independent Research. The motivation for creating the MOBILEX programme is a growth in applications for international research projects which has resulted in very low success rates (< 10 % in 2011). In order to promote the MOBILEX programme, the Danish Council for Independent Research will contribute approx. € 16,700,000 during a programme period of 5 years. Under the programme, a total of 78 mobility grants will be awarded to experienced researchers, 45 for outgoing mobility and 33 for incoming mobility projects. A MOBILEX research grant has a duration of 24 months. Grants will be awarded in open, international competition on the basis of free, interest-driven and bottom-up project proposals from all scientific fields covered by the Danish Council for Independent Research. The selection of successful proposals will be carried out in a process comprising the following three steps: 1) international peer review of applications (minimum three reviews per application), 2) rebuttal to peer review from applicants and 3) final decision on the award of MOBILEX grants by the Danish Council for Independent Research. Unrestricted mobility of grant holders is a major ambition of the programme. Inorder to achieve this goal, outgoing as well as incoming grant holders will be issued employment contracts at Danish universities to ensure that all grant holders under the programme will be working under equal conditions according to Danish labour market and social security regulations.

The “PISCOPIA Programme” is a new programme promoted by the University of Padova and aims at increasing the European-wide mobility possibilities for multisectoral training and career development of experienced researchers, in line with the objectives set out in the “Life-long training and career development” of the People work program. Increasing the amount of incoming young researchers in the University of Padova will provide benefits to the whole Italian and European Research Areas by opening a large and high quality area to trans-national research mobility. The programme will further help to reintegrate researchers into a research career in the Member States and Associated Countries. The programme will last 60 months and provides for 3 calls, awarding fellowships lasting from 12 to 24 months and included into 2 mobility schemes: - 2 incoming calls: applicants from any country inside or outside Europe (35 fellow-years). - 1 re-integration call: applicants from Member State or Associated Countries interested in returning to Europe after a mobility experience in a Third Country (10 fellow-years). All the disciplines present at the University will be open for fellowships. Three Scientific macro areas group the disciplines studied at UNIPD and cover the entire spectrum of science and scholarship: Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, Social sciences and Humanities. In compliance with the European Charter of Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, the University of Padova will ensure that the fellows will be selected following an open, transparent, impartial and equitable selection process and will enter a research contract with the selected fellows which has all the features of an employment contract.

With this proposal the FWF applies for COFUND of the Erwin Schroedinger Program, the largest Outgoing -Program in Austria for basic research at postdoc level open to all disciplines and destinations. According to the objectives of the COFUND-action the program aims to support researchers to work abroad at leading research institutions and on leading research programs to open up new areas of knowledge, new scientific approaches, methods and techniques. In this way it helps the fellows broadening and deepening their competence and establishing long lasting international cooperations. The very high impact on career development of the Schroedinger fellows has been shown in the program evaluation. With the help of the COFUND it was possible to improve the program with the possibility to apply also for a reintegration-phase and to facilitate the critical return phase. The FWF hopes to counter on a long turn the brain drain from Austria and consequently from the ERA. In a next step the FWF eliminated the age limit and expanded in this way the group of the potential applicants. In this way the Erwin Schroedinger Program became most attractive and the number of applications increased continuously. With this COFUND proposal the FWF intends to maintain the high quality standard of the program and at the same time to meet the high demand for Schroedinger fellowships.
