FUTURE-BET addresses tribocorrosion of bearing systems. BET will address bearing design and performance to alleviate the effects of tribocorrosion in industrial sectors which have a great impact on the EU economy; namely (a) offshore wind power, (b) automotive, (c) offshore oil and gas, (d) new renewable energy technologies, (d) paper manufacturing and (e) hydropower. Each of the aforementioned application areas have different stringent and challenging performance criteria which continually pushes bearing technology to the limit. The impact of the Network will extend beyond these major sectors and develop a broad base of fundamental knowledge with even wider applicability to European Industry. The main aim of FUTURE-BET is to provide professional development in the multidisciplinary field of tribocorrosion relevant to the successful operation of bearing technologies across a wide range of industrial sectors. Tribocorrosion bridges the tribology and corrosion disciplines and describes the diverse range of surface/surface, surface/environment, surface/lubricant interactions and processes that can affect the integrity of the engineering system or affect the efficiency of that system in operation. FUTURE-BET brings together a major public (University of Leeds) and a private (SKF Engineering and Research Centre) sector organisations to deliver training to five early stage researchers in a flagship and highly original European Industrial Doctorate training programme, forming a cohort of uniquely skilled, highly employable scientists/engineers. The researchers will spend 50% of their time in each of the public/private sector partner organisations and will develop skills across to ensure they will develop to be the research (in an academic or industry environment) leaders of the future.

ManiFold is organised by researchers and teachers of the Bijvoet Graduate School for Biomolecular Sciences to achieve 3 key aims: (i) Moving the Bijvoet towards a Graduate School with annual rhythm and specific recruitment moments. (ii) Centering the research around focus areas to stimulate synergies. (iii) Strengthening the links of the School to private enterprises and international partners. ManiFold aims to extend its impact to the entire Bijvoet School by creating a coherent group of selected students that gel around one theme, large enough that we expect the group to have a strong influence, but such that it fits the capacity of our excellent educational programme. The Bijvoet groups have a longstanding track record in structural biology and outstanding expertise in large-scale infrastructure. In ManiFold, we focus our studies on protein folding and misfolding events at various levels, focusing on conceptual advances regarding the folding of newly-synthesized proteins, the assembly and disassembly of protein oligomers and complexes, conformational changes of proteins upon activation or deactivation, allosteric effects, protein misfolding and amyloid formation, the activity of molecular chaperones on those processes, and the monitoring of protein-protein interactions at the proteome level. The coherent class of students working on this multidisciplinary theme will allow us create synergisms and increase the quality of our education. From the joint effort on this topic we expect a lasting impact on training in our Bijvoet School, our international position and on the links of our School with the private sector.

This proposal is for a European Industrial Doctorate on SECurity and Trust of Next Generation ENTerprise Information Systems (SECENTIS). In the near future, the security needs of enterprises and organizations will increase and be more varied, ranging from the protection of own resources to those managed on behalf of end-users and customers. These desiderata will be particularly important for vendors of Enterprise Information Systems and Process Management solutions because of the increasing demands for (a) control on business data processed by a large number of diverse applications and (b) overall security of data and services outsourced to third-party providers. The main goal of the SECENTIS project is to provide an innovative training program at the Doctoral level to educate a new generation of security experts capable to tackle the scientific and technical challenges raised by the combination of new technologies (e.g., cloud computing, mobile applications, and the Software-as-a-Service paradigm) and to manage the impact of these changes in industry. The SECENTIS training program stems from a carefully selected set of research activities aiming at devising cutting-edge solutions that will improve the security of the next generation of Enterprise Information Systems and Process Management solutions. The consortium of the SECENTIS Project includes SAP, the world's leading provider of e-business software solutions, and FBK that, together with the associate partners (the University of Trento and Trento-RISE), constitute one of the most lively research and innovation ecosystems in Europe.

“Capturing career paths of ERC grantees and applicants” will map the road to and from excellence by shedding light on paths and patterns, differences and similarities in the career paths of women and men ERC grantees. Specifically, we will establish who are those scientists who apply to the ERC, how do they differ from the scientific population as a whole, and what distinguishes the successful from the unsuccessful applicants? We will also chart the institutional role in shaping research careers for those with care responsibilities by considering how career breaks and unconventional career paths are represented amongst the ERC grantees with a view to uncovering best practices and institutional support for “time to care”. This study takes a long-term perspective: by looking at the careers of ERC grantees and applicants before and, where relevant, after an award; and for the scientific community as a whole recognizing the relatively recent growth in female participation in advanced higher education by examining differences between the experiences in the starting and advanced grant awards. The project will deploy a multimethod multisource approach, using both existing archival and survey data (ERCEA database, previously collected data from other scientists), quantitative data to be collected using a survey, and qualitative data to be collected using interviews. This will enable the team to quantify career patterns and gender differences, while the interview data will enable us to comment on the lived experiences of scientists. Our dissemination activities are geared toward co-creation of actionable development and improvement of the evaluation procedures, of work-family policies, and of career support systems, as well as proactive showcasing and sharing of best practices, but the actual impact of these activities depends on the active participation of ERC, national research system, and host institution representatives.

The ITN TIMCC brings together eight expert teams from different disciplines within Immunology, Genetics and Oncology, to provide substantive and methodological training in the analysis of the role of the Tumor Infiltrating Myeloid Cell Compartment (TIMCC) of the innate immune system. Leukocytes recruited to (pre)malignant tissues are mainly myeloid cells. They can either prevent or functionally contribute to cancer development. However, the mechanisms underlying pro- versus anti-tumor programming of neoplastic tissues by these immune cells remain obscure. The ITN TIMCC aims to improve anti-tumor therapy by defining general and tumor type specific molecular and cellular immunological pathways (e.g signal transduction and downstream effector pathways) in tumor development and during therapeutic intervention based on an extensive analysis of the infiltrating myeloid cell compartment in human tumor biopsies using a large variety of techniques and functional analysis of the corresponding models of a variety of human tumors, affecting different organs, in a unique cohort of genetically modified mice treated with different types of anti-tumor therapy. The program will train the appointed researchers in a variety of methodology and technology from genomic technologies and bioinformatics via genetically modified mice to the design and application of therapeutic strategies to understand and manipulate the many interactions of the myeloid cell compartment with developing tumors. By defining underlying molecular and cellular pathways new targets will be identified to be explored by the participating SMEs. The program will deliver young researchers equipped with a broad knowledge in immunology, genetics and oncology and insight in the complexity of translational medicine therefore better prepared to meet new challenges in the field.

The aim of the TECAS ITN is to integrate the major European contributors in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RM), to generate a coherent framework of expertise which will facilitate the training and career development of early stage researchers (ESRs) in the field. In particular, the intention of this ITN is to focus on the clinical needs of cardiac valve replacement/repair, myocardium reconstruction and patch graft angioplasty of the great blood vessels, with a view to developing the underpinning expertise and technology that will be required to manufacture functional TE cardiovascular implants for clinical use in the near future. The TECAS ITN supports and transfers novel crossdisciplinary and intersectorial training to junior researchers, which is critical to the long-term sustainability of the cardiovascular implant research and industry in Europe, enhancing its competitiveness against the North American sector. The goal of this ITN is to consolidate the extensive multidisciplinary experience in training and research of its academic, clinical and industrial Partners to train the new generation of competent and balanced clinicians, scientists, and engineers, who currently are in great demand by the medical devices industry and clinical sector. This goal will be facilitated through the research projects of the Network which span over the intersectorial innovation pipeline of a number of TE products and technologies from basic science to translational research and beyond. The strategy of the TECAS ITN involves the use of functionalised 3D scaffolds, which have been seeded with either differentiated stromal cells or adult mesenchymal stem cells derived from the intended recipient, and either physically conditioned in the laboratory in bioreactors, with a view to producing biological and biomechanical functionality of the graft prior to implantation, or used unseeded with a view to attracting endogenous cell colonisation after implantation.

BATS addresses the integrated delivery of BroadBand (BB) future Internet services for European coverage according to the EC Digital Agenda objective to reliably deliver >30Mbps to 100% of European households by 2020. In order to accommodate the ‘unserved’ and ‘underserved’ areas of Europe, an ultra high speed satellite system is researched that provides order of magnitude cost/bit reductions and solutions to existing market barriers of bandwidth and latency limitations. This builds on terabit/s satellite studies conducted by the European Space Agency and extends them into an overall network and service delivery concept. A novel architecture is proposed which combines satellite and terrestrial service delivery via an Intelligent User Gateway (IUG), dynamically routing each traffic flow according to its service needs through the most appropriate delivery mechanism to optimise the Quality of Experience (QoE). The integration complies with emerging home network environment standards and provides resilience and reliability of service provision to the users by bonding diverse access networks. To cope with such scenario, BATS will also provide a unified network management framework. The BATS new service paradigm focuses on user QoE and is not constrained by a specific delivery mechanism. The wide range of stakeholders involved leads to a new business model in which the benefits to all are evaluated. Evaluation of the concept takes place via laboratory emulation with controlled objective and subjective testing and via field trials using prototype IUGs and capacity on in-orbit satellites to assess real user experiences. BATS provides a unique opportunity for the European ICT and satellite industries to take a lead in this novel integrated system which will have a worldwide market. Contributions to standardisation groups will foster adoption of the concept and assist supporting the European Mandate 496 ‘To Develop Standardisation Regarding the Space Industry’.

We will contribute to a theory of dynamics of multi level complex systems by developing mathematical and computational formalisms for information processing in such multi level systems. We will develop the formalism in the context of criticality, emergence, and tipping points in multi level systems and apply it to real data. This should lead to a better understanding, but more important, to an improvement in predictive power for early warning. Can we observe tell-tales of things to happen in the (near) future? We will relate the emergence of structures and collective effects to the existence of an information-driven phase transition. Emergent structures may mean selection of preferred scales, creation of new levels or annihilation of existing levels, or occurrence of tipping points leading to extreme phenomena. We believe that these transitions are often self-organized because they appear in a spontaneous way, driven only by the dynamics of the system and the co-evolving topology of the interactions. We will create an experimental facility, a Computational Exploratory, which allows to implement our theoretical framework of information processing in multilevel complex systems, and to apply this to real life data. The theory will be validated on real world applications involving large, heterogeneous multi level datasets from the Socio-Economic domain (high frequency FX data, datasets on interest rates, and social media data) and applied to study the question of emergence of scales, and the detection and prediction of tipping points in real-life datasets. We contribute to the questions if and why Nature has preferred scales, and if so, if such emerging scales can be detected in real data sets. The impact of our theory on understanding of emergence of multilevel systems due to critical information processing is expected to be substantial. Our theory will offer new tools for critical transitions and extreme events prediction in real-life datasets.
