The goal of the proposal is to use new capabilities offered to the French research and higher education institutions by two recent and successive laws. The PRES are Higher Education and Research Cluster. The PRES, as structural organisations, are one of these new possibilities; and among the other new possibilities, the purpose is also to use new block of competencies in terms of human resources and financial management which enhance the capacity of universities, as well as university clusters, to plan out research strategies, as well as policies, in a reinforced autonomy. The proposal, launched by the PRES called UniverSud Paris, is to create a programme, very open in terms of topics, covering a large academic area which widely removes the border from its own academic or specific area. This proposal is based on a new development of a well known process used in French universities, i.e. the guest professor’s scheme. In the new context, the practice of guest professors can be highly improved to strengthen local or regional academic research policies. The programme is fundamentally based on individual fellowships applications. Thus, the calls for proposals will concern individual applications. The Rbuce-UP programme is devoted to all the individual founder members of the PRES. Another PRES is following a similar approach.

Over the past 25 years, Institutes for Advanced Study across Europe have increasingly contributed to enhancing research attractiveness within the EU, by offering stimulating research environments and promoting multidisciplinary discussion and exchange. Their scientific independence and open approach have helped to shape trans-disciplinary and path-breaking new knowledge. At the same time, Institutes for Advanced Study play a demonstrably major role in promoting mobility of researchers within the EU as well as in attracting leading researchers from third countries to Europe. The EU-IAS fellowship programme proposed here aims at increasing the European-wide mobility training and career development of experienced researchers. While based on sound and proven experience of individual IAS in terms of mobility and development of research careers, this proposal represents the first concrete step on the part of leading IAS in Europe to create a truly EU-level IAS fellowship programme. The EU-IAS fellowship programme will build on and integrate individual IAS experiences in a way that will be mutually beneficial for all fourteen participating IAS, as well as for future fellows. It will also help to ensure that IAS will provide a critical mass in the European context and strengthen their overall role within and contribution to the European Research Area (ERA). The EU-IAS fellowship programme is a new transnational mobility programme. The fourteen participating IAS have agreed to establish a central selection of eligible candidates that will ensure innovative and effective co-operation among them. As a result, the EU-IAS fellowship programme will create a new European fellowship community based on excellence, trans-national mobility and trans-disciplinary research.

Since the advent of the HIV epidemic, more than 25 million people have died from AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically decreased to mortality and morbidity in high income countries. However, the virus adapts rapidly during suboptimal therapy and over 200 mutations are associated with resistance to one or more drugs. Drug resistance is thus a major threat to the long-term outcome of ART. The EuResist project is the worlds largest database and has created a prediction engine, based on a combination of HIV genetic data, treatment history and clinical response, from over 33,000 patients from six European countries. The amount of data and participating countries, are ontinuously increasing. Given the viral DNA sequence and patient clinical data, EuResist can recommend the therapy most likely to effectively suppress the viral load, and avoid drug combinations likely to fail due to resistance. Currently, the data is mainly retrieved from HIV subtype B, since this viral type is the most common in Europe. One of the main aims of the project is therefore to enhance the prediction for other subtypes, e.g. subtype C, which is the most common in Africa and world-wide. This will be achieved through addition of new data from patients infected with different viral subtypes, both from Sweden and from collaborating institutes in Ethiopia, Tanzania and South Africa. Furthermore, we will perform thorough bioinformatic analysis of mutational patterns in relation to the viral subtype, where the ultimate goal is to create a valid treatment prediction based on clinical data and treatment history, without the need for viral DNA sequence data. If this is achieved it will be a highly important contribution to the fight against AIDS in low and middle-income countries.

The project will contribute to the integration of the research capacities of the participant member states, will identify their communalities and will valorise existing programmes and projects in order to initiate the deployment of a wide and comprehensive European e-Infrastructure that will increase the research capacities of the digital cultural heritage community. The DC-NET project will contribute to the coordination of coordinate the research priorities of accessing of e-Infrastructures by the Ministries of Culture, their Agencies and other cultural bodies (museums, libraries, archives, audiovisual, archaeological sites, etc.) across Europe in the area of the eInfrastructures targeted to the digital cultural heritage. Eight governments and agencies will agree a set of common priorities for digital cultural heritage research and will work with e-Infrastructures providers to identify how best to carry out this research using the National Research and Education Networks. The project will coordinate the manner in which cultural actors can and should engage with national and European e-Infrastructures to generate innovative services, tools and data sets to support the multidisciplinary research of multidisciplinary communities. A programme of seminars, workshops, meetings and conferences will involve all the relevant stakeholders. A plan of joint activities for e-Infrastructure-enabled research in the sector of digital cultural heritage will be generated and the joint activities will be initiated.

The simultaneous presence of several different fluids in external or internal flows is found in daily life, environment and numerous industrial processes. These types of flows are termed multi-fluid flows. Examples are gas-liquid transport, crude oil recovery, spray cans, sediment transport in rivers, pollutant transport in the atmosphere, cloud formation, fuel injection in engines, bubble column reactors and spray driers for food processing, to name only a few. Real time computational mechanics (RTCM) aims to developing computational systems to solve problems which must produce their results within short time intervals. Examples of real-time systems include flight control programs, patient monitoring; nuclear plants controls, industrial processing and prevention of risk. RTCM systems are having an ever increasing impact on the quality of human life. The objective of the project is to develop new formal approaches and computational methods based on innovative RTCM procedures for building accurate and robust quasi-real time computer codes applicable to solve multi-fluid engineering problems. In the project we will develop and validate new computational fluid dynamic techniques based on innovative particle methods, new time integration schemes allowing large time steps, reduction methods, GPUs and parallel processing to reach acceptable results for multi-fluid problems in quasi-real time. The main outcome of the REALTIME project will be a collection of methods and codes to predict and control in quasi-real time different problems involving natural and human induced hazards such as risky industrial processes, fire spread, critical atmospheric situations or patients monitoring situations in which the security or human life depends of a response in real time.

PRO-IDEAL PLUS – PROmotion of an ICT Dialogue between Europe and America Latina – extension towards Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and Costa Rica aims to strengthen the research dimension of Information Society policy dialogues in the target region, establishing a sustainable ICT research community and developing synergies. PRO-IDEAL PLUS will equally enhance the international cooperation of stakeholders within the target countries amongst themselves thus leveraging best practices e.g. from those countries that already enjoy an S&T agreement. It will do so by: - organising ICT Fora in order to facilitate the introduction of ICT research dimension into the regular policy dialogues in parallel to EU-LAC S&T events. These ICT Fora are continued via the Virtual ICT Dialogue space on the PRO-IDEAL PLUS platform. Complementary Round Tables will allow for informal discussions with stakeholders. - organising ICT Days with interactive workshops and coaching courses to stimulate, encourage and facilitate proactive participation of researchers in the ICT programme, based on the experience in the PRO-IDEAL project (www.pro-ideal.eu, involving AR, CL, BR, UY). - fostering pro-active cooperation between PRO-IDEAL PLUS and other research initiatives e.g. e-science networks (e.g. RedCLARA, GEANT2), ICT networks (e.g. ALETI) other INCO-NET projects, but also bilateral initiatives such as UEMEXCYT II. - drafting an ICT research Roadmap providing a shared insight and long-term visions for ICT cooperation The above activities are carried out by an experienced partnership that has a proven track record in successful international projects: INMARK from Spain will co-ordinate the consortium; the European Multimedia Forum disposes of the network in the ICT sector and takes care of the dissemination strategy as well as the Web 2.0 tool; the partners in the target countries will act as “hub” implementing the project activities at local level.

ERINA4Africa is an initiative aimed at fostering cooperation between the EU and Africa with a win-win perspective: 1) Africa may benefit from the development of Research Infrastructure policies based on EU experiences and best practices, and 2) the EU will have the chance to demonstrate on-the-field benefits of exploiting Research Infrastructure in key ICT areas where public funding would be relevant, namely e-Government, e-Health and e-Learning. Based on the results of a recent study funded by the EC (ERINA, www.erina-study.eu), this proposal aims to provide African and EU policy makers with a detailed analysis of exploitable scenarios of existing (and new) e-Infrastructures in Africa, by means of: 1. A virtual observatory on trends and current evolution of e-Infrastructures in Africa, including a strict relation with academic as well as industrial communities, with the perspective of gathering concrete requirements to boost Academic and Industrial research. 2. A foresight study identifying qualitative as well as quantitative benefits in adopting African Research Infrastructures as basic building blocks for other key IST areas (the qualitative analysis and the methodology were developed in the former ERINA study). 3. A series of virtual conferences and local meetings to both promote and validate the project results. The project activities will allow the actors of the African e-Infrastructures ecosystems to network and share knowledge, and will foster easier communications and dissemination between the EU and Africa on an ongoing basis. Moreover ERINA4Africa has a green core. It will be managed to monitor and reduce as much as possible any paper usage, travelling alongside the world and energy consumption in general. This collateral exercise would demonstrate the possibility to have efficient while green research. Through the web site such metrics will be continuously monitored, providing concrete suggestions to reduce the impact of research projects

Global climate change, combined with the further increase of atmospheric CO2, is expected to affect plant growth and performance and, as a consequence, the spatial distribution of species in terrestrial ecosystems within the next 50 to 100 years. In the Mediterranean region, the combined impact of current aridity with climate change will particularly threaten forest ecosystems. In addition, global change is likely to impact carbon sequestration in the forest sector, and trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation measures may arise in the future. Thus, a proper use of genetic material for reforestation (one of the main mitigation options in European forestry) is crucial to face new climate circumstances at an early stage through anticipatory adaptation. In this regard, there is a need to understand long-term plant responses to climate changes in order to define the most appropriate adaptation measures. Tree rings provide an easily datable archive that can be explored for physiologically relevant signals. In particular, the analysis of carbon and oxygen stable isotopes in tree-rings combines the ability to integrate physiological information over different time scales, which allows validating the results over a great number of sites. However, although the basic principles for carbon and oxygen isotopes in plants are well known, there are still some unsolved questions. The general objective of the proposal is to explore and further develop the application of stable isotopes in Mediterranean pines as ecophysiological tools. This will involve 1) basic research to better understand the underlying mechanisms determining stable isotope composition in trees and their relationship with physiological processes, and 2) applied research to develop the use of stable isotopes as tools to characterise genetic material for reforestation and to monitor long-term response to global changes in Mediterranean pines.
