RECOSET aims to stimulate the creation of a network among research centres that are committed to studying cooperative and social enterprises in EU/AC and TC. The societal interest in cooperative and social enterprises stems from their capacity to sustain the welfare of individuals and families, to fight social inequalities, and to enhance social cohesion and solidarity behaviours through the production of a wide spectrum of general interest services (ranging from health, social and cultural services to the work integration of disadvantaged workers), heavily affecting the welfare and political systems. Despite the growing number of individual researchers and research centres involved in studies concerning this theme, a general consolidated literature on the matter is still lacking. The lack of uniformity, coupled with a poor understanding of cooperative and social enterprises’ roles in contemporary societies and economies, prevents the enhancement of awareness of policy makers and practitioners on the potential of cooperative and social enterprises and thus jeopardizes the sector’s development. Against the background of overcoming the lack of a common theoretical framework and empirical methodologies in this field, RECOSET promotes the exchange of researchers (both early-stage and experienced). Furthermore, given the goal of establishing a lasting cooperation among the beneficiaries ,the exchange of one staff member from EURICSE specialised in networking activities is promoted. As for Third Country, the main goal is to give researchers the opportunity to benefit from the theoretical and empirical knowledge that has been accumulated so far by the EU/AC research centres involved. Researchers from EU/AC countries will be offered the opportunity to broaden the geographical reach of the studies so far accomplished, by focusing on countries where research on cooperative and social enterprises is still rather scarce.

The overall aim of this proposal is to create an international network of scientists working on climate change in inland sea areas, which are sensitive environments capable of providing key information about global climate change. Although inland seas and large lakes are very vulnerable to anthropogenic and climatic stressors and require special attention, there is not a single, easily identifiable research centre in Europe dedicated to them, although many are working on it. Because the University of Girona (UdG), the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (SIO) and the Russian Hydrometeorological Centre (RHMC) had already developed a collaborative relationship during a NATO study project on the Aral Sea, the IRSES scheme appeared to be a good context within which to strengthen the relationship of the UdG with the SIO and the RHMC – two regional leaders in their respective fields – and to study of inland seas in Central Eurasia, one of the most active regions for climate change according to the projection of surface temperatures for all four IPCC scenarios. However, there is still a need for research on historical data that collaboration with paleoclimatologists/limnologists from the Universities of Brunel and Liverpool could provide. The Arizona State University, which has had a relationship with the UdG since 1992 is joining with its own funds and offering its experience and laboratories to better develop the project, which focuses on the Physical Science Basis of Climate Change. Given the opportunities presented by these collaborations and the aims of the IRSES, activities such as seminars or research work analysing either existing or new data related to the sea, the vegetation and the atmospheric components of the climate system, and their interrelation are organised within this proposal. The proposal brings together experimental and numerical communities, which have been identified as important and is included in the FP7 (ENV.2009.1.1.4.1).

EASTWESTFOOD contains joint activities which will increase the sharing of knowledge between research groups in the East and West. It will improve research training through joint courses and it will build up a long-term cooperation between the Participants. The joint activities in EASTWESTFOOD will take place within four areas of collaboration, organized in four work packages: 1) Healthy Diets in East and West, 2) Dairy Technology, 3) Metabolic Engineering and 4) Business Economics and Entrepeneurship. The research areas are highly relevant for the development of high quality healthy foods in the future and will benefit from the synergy arising from the complementary expertise of the Participants. A collaboration between Europe and India is becoming increasingly important as a result of the globalized food market and the rapid growth of the Indian economy. The added benefits for the European participants arise from the gained knowledge on Indian food culture, indigenous dairy products, healthy plant-based food, metabolic engineering with regard to food production as well as insight into the Indian business market. The collaboration on research and research training in these fields will simultaneously be very valuable for development of the food industry in India and support new research projects and research training at the Indian Partner universities. EASTWESTFOOD will also promote intra-European integration between LMC, CBS and Wageningen University.

River Restoration (RR) is a relatively new discipline which aims at defending river ecosystems because of both their intrinsic existence value and the services they can provide to humankind. It is a key component for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (and others). Developing countries like Latin American (LA) can benefit a lot from introducing these idea at an early stage of planning and management because changes are far reaching and very fast. In Europe national centres, like CIRF (I), and European organizations, like the ECRR (www.ecrr.org), were born which are spreading quickly information and momentum for a broader action, while in LA RR is practically ignored and very few experiences can be found. This project aims at filling this gap , starting from those research institutions which already showed sensitivity to the issue and linking them also to public management bodies in order to share knowledge and create engagement at the same time. A number of researchers and practitioners from Italy (CIRF which is running the secretary of ECRR) and Spain (which has the deepest links with LA and has recently launched a national strategy for RR in Spain) would bring their experience and vision to LA and face local challenges, while LA researchers and managers would mainly visit problems and projects sites in EU to see with their eyes the rationale and benefits of RR. Joint research activity to face selected case studies, site visits, workshops, sharing of publication and information and the set up of a joint web site are the main foreseen activities.

String theory is a prime candidate for a consistent theory of quantum gravity. It should therefore be able to address fundamental questions, such as the origin and structure of space-time. The key to an understanding of these deep problems is to uncover of the symmetry principles that underlie string theory and to gain control of string theory in its non-perturbative regime. This project is motivated by some of the very recent progress in string theory, which is related to symmetry and integrability: the remarkable achievement in our understanding of the role and applicability of integrability in string and Yang-Mills theory on the one hand, and the discovery of the long sought after description of multiple coincident branes in M-theory. We feel it is extremely timely to form a partnership that combines researchers who have significantly contributed to these recent advances with the hope that our combined effort will lead to a further and deeper understanding of the underlying theory and its properties. Our proposed joint research programme includes two institutes from EU member states and two institutes from third countries: - The Centre for Particle Theory, Durham University, UK (UDUR) - The Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Albert-Einstein-Institut, Potsdam, Germany (AEI); - The Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan (YITP) - The Center for Quantum Space-time, Sogang University, Korea (CQUeST). This project brings together leading researchers with broad, complementary expertise: from conformal field theory, gauge theory, supergravity, string theory, to the more mathematical aspects of integrable systems and non-commutative geometry, to form a team with the common goal of understanding the fundamental nature of quantum gravity. Moreover, it will support and reinforce collaboration among the participants, help to educate young researchers, and help to develop and establish future long-term research collaboration.

This project proposes an integrative statistical approach to study the Gulf of Cádiz system, from hydrographical processes to central ecological issues such the type of trophic regulation or the fish recruitment-stock biomass relationships. An innovative aspect is the objective of making predictions about the future based upon the combination of the empirically-deduced ecological processes and the expected evolution of the environment. By increasing our knowledge about this particular system, the present proposal aims to better inform policy makers and society in general - the overall strategic objective being to contribute to the implementation of the best possible adaptive strategies in the region. Built upon an extended network of collaborations, including the two previous research centres (CEES and SAHFOS) this project aims to strengthen intra-European scientific cooperation, in particular through this triple scheme: Spain (IEO), Norway (CEES), and UK (SAHFOS).

The project will unite efforts of leading laboratories of 5 countries: France, Romania, Poland, Brazil and Russia to render the two well known biopolymers: DNA and collagen applicable in molecular electronics and in Photonics Marine DNA, extracted from waste in salmon industry and commercial collagen will be used to obtain biodegradable photoresponsive materials for application in photonics and in molecular electronics.Biodegradable and coming from renewlable ressources pure DNA and collagen, well known biopolymers, are chacterized by an ionic electrical conductivity and photoinactive large transparency range material. These materials will be functionalized with photoactive chromophores such as 1D charge transfer molecules to render them photoresponsive. On the other hand doping with such molecules as PEDOT, fullerenes and particularly the nanotubes will increase significantly the charge mobility and make the biopolymers applicable in optical signal processing, molecular electronics and solar energy conversion. At the output of the project materials with controllable charge mobility and nonlinar optical response will be obtained. Practical applications, particularly in solar energy conversion and in making smart windows will be demonstrated
