Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) techniques are becoming more and more interesting for aircraft manufacturers due to their advantages against traditional prepreg-autoclave processes (reduction of waste, energy and waste toxicity and economic benefits). The two steps that are involved in the LCM process are first the production of a dry fibre preform and secondly the resin injection. The focus of this project is on the development of advanced production methods for dry fibre preforms. Technical requirements for a preform are: -Geometrical tolerances and dimensional stability -Near Net-shape -Geometrical complexity to form integral shapes -Possibility to combine multiple sub-preforms to bigger preforms -No negative influence on the permeability The currently available consolidation techniques are stitching and bindering. Stitching techniques are low energy consumption, but are limited to non complex shapes. Novel stitching processes have been developed that enable the processing of 3D preforms by means of one side stitching techniques. Further optimization is needed to enable the processing of complex, integral structures. The consolidation of very complex preforms is possible using bindering techniques. However, bindering shows environmental drawbacks, mainly contamination due to organic volatiles and heating energy, which is needed for the binder activation. Thus, a need for improvement is clear. For the environmental and economic improvement of the consolidation techniques new techniques will be developed based, on one hand, on novel 3D robotic stitching and, on the other hand, on the use of low temperature activation thermoplastic veils and ultrasonic binder. A demonstration phase will follow, consisting of the manufacturing of different scaled preforms representing skins, stringer and spars sections. Therefore, the braiding technology will also be used to manufacture integral and cost-effective parts. Impregnation tests will then be performed to evaluate the permeability of the obtained preforms. The objective is to be able to scale the techniques to automated serial manufacturing of big preforms (up to 8x3 m). As agreed upon among the Topic Manager (IAI), the Coordinator (USTUTT) and the Consortium Partner (Tecnalia), May 1st has been chosen as a fixed starting date.

The growing awareness of necessary changes and effective measures that can prevent, or at least, limit climate change has in many countries led to substantially intensified efforts in research and development. The dominant objective is to reduce fossil fuel consumption - therefore low carbon mobility, with electric mobility in the first place, is considered as a promising way to meet the challenge of future petrol scarcity. With the transnational call Electromobility+, public research programmes from 11 European countries and regions come together to give to research the objective of preparing a long-term horizon, one which will follow this current hype phase. Thus, Electromobility+ will contribute to the creation of long-lasting conditions for the development of electric mobility in Europe on the horizon of 2025. The joint initiative is geared to analyse, to consolidate and to prolong developments within the context of electromobility which are going to appear from 2010 on and so strongly contribute to shape the European electromobility of tomorrow. Within Electromobility+, research programmes from 11 European countries and regions are bringing together more than 15 M€ of public funding within the framework of the proposed ERA-Net Plus initiative. The European Commission may additionally contribute up to 33 % of the total national funding to the funding of trans-national projects (i.e. about 7 M€). Electromobility+ is a contribution of European countries and regions to the European Green Cars Initiative. The main goal is to provide a basis for a long-term platform on electric mobility in Europe. The objectives of Electromobility+ can be summarised as follows 1. The establishment of sustainable and effective structures for cooperation and coordination of research in the field of electric mobility as a basis for a long-term cooperation. 2. The development of technical and scientific knowledge which will create long-lasting conditions for the development of electric mobility in Europe on the horizon of 2025

Many applications need an “enough” precise and resolute gravity field. Such application fields span from science (Oceanography, Geophysics and Environment) to institutional (Seismic, Volcanic and landslide hazard mitigation) and commercial (oil prospecting, civil engineering). Airborne gravimetry survey can provide nowadays, in areas with no ground infrastructures, a gravity recovery at the level of 15 mGal which in turn can provide at most a geoid with accuracy of 20 cm. It is estimated an improvement with GALILEO by a factor of 3 or 4, even in areas with no ground support, while in infrastructured areas there is a hope to reach accuracy in the order of 0,1 mGal on spatial scales of ~ 10 km. All these targets can be hit much more easily with the availability of data from ESA mission “GOCE”. The idea underlying the GAL project is the study and development of a state of the art methodology for determination of precise and high-resolution gravity field models through precise kinematic airborne gravimetry with GPS, EGNOS, GALILEO and strapdown Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and its further integration with GOCE global models. The GAL concept is based on the combination of satellite-derived global gravity models with airborne-derived local models. GOCE measurements will provide the global gravity model with 1-2 mgal accuracy (1-2 cm geoid accuracy) at 100 km wavelengths and longer, while the airborne ranging and inertial measurements will provide the local ones at comparable accuracy with resolutions ranging from 200 to 1 km. A multi-constellation data processing approach will be used for the combined exploitation of GPS and GALILEO implementing positioning techniques like Precise Point Positioning. GAL project could enable gravity field measurements recovery at marginal cost in many non surveyed areas in the world, in particular in developing countries.

The e-HIMALAYA project aims at prototyping innovative GNSS-based core technologies and concepts, with the objective to build key Galileo differentiators in a multi-GNSS hybridized receiver. Several markets are addressed with the main weight put on Mass-Market and transport, which represents the main Galileo receiver market. The project will develop a list of key features to enable a higher penetration of Galileo compatible receivers on the market, and especially the ASIC developed under Himalaya project. First of all it will develop a high accuracy technology made available even in bad reception conditions, thanks to a robust aided PLL processing tuned for the Galileo pilot channels. It will also address a smart integrity function taking into account the local effects, through an ultra tight coupling with inertial sensors approach. It also addresses improved performances thanks to an extensive improvement of telecommunication assistance dissemination. In particular, a robust anti spoofing function is also developed, prototyped and demonstrated. The project will have several impacts. The first one is to build a ready to market localization solution based on an efficient use of Galileo. The second is to control key market levers technologies, and therefore propose a feedback both on standardization bodies, or future Galileo signal definition, and on the products roadmaps (GNSS ASIC). Finally, the project will develop an indoor technology that is today seen as a very promising one, blending GNSS measurements and LTE ones.

Rare-earth ions (lanthanides) play an increasingly important role in modern optical technologies. Lanthanides are extensively used in solid-state laser physics, e.g. as key components in telecommunication networks. Rare-earths are also employed as luminescent materials in lamps or as radiation detectors in X-ray imaging. Rare-earths are already commercially omnipresent. However, the full potential of rare-earth ions is not yet explored – in particular with regard to the rapidly evolving field of future information technology. Future data storage and processing will require novel types of memories (e.g. based on interactions between light and quantized matter), algorithms (e.g. based on quantum computations) and materials (e.g. appropriate quantum systems). Rare-earth ion doped solids are very promising candidates to permit implementation of future quantum technology. The media combine the advantages of solids (i.e. large density and scalability) and atomic gases (i.e. long coherence times). CIPRIS will build on the advantages of rare-earth doped media and drive applications towards future information technology. CIPRIS follows two scientific approaches : Classical processing and quantum processing. Both are meant as pronounced inter-disciplinary research efforts, combining physics, material science and information technology. To exploit the results, the public and private sector partners will closely cooperate to develop commercial demonstration devices. In terms of training, CIPRIS aims at the development of the next generation of young researchers with appropriate skills in rare-earth-based information technology – pushing it towards commercial applications. CIPRIS offers a large variety of training actions, e.g. mini schools, laboratory courses, secondments to the private sector, or training sessions to strengthen complementary skills and contacts to the private sector. This will contribute to a European knowledge base for future information technology.

The proposed Action will provide the necessary support to the Chair and Vice-Chairs of the European Research Council Scientific Council (ERC ScC) to achieve key milestones and deliverables of the ScC, which are required in the fifth year of implementation of the Ideas specific programme. Under the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7) and the Ideas specific programme, the Commission has established the European Research Council providing a competitive funding mechanism for investigator-driven frontier research on European level. One of the key structural components of the ERC is the Scientific Council consisting of 22 researchers at the highest level, representative of a large range of disciplines and institutional backgrounds and acting independently. The ERC ScC establishes and oversees the ERC's scientific management and the implementation of the Work Programme, including the peer review and the selection of peer reviewers. The potential impact of the project will be to ensure an efficient and well-managed operation of the ERC ScC. By providing high-level local support for the EcC Chair and Vice-Chairs who are based at their respective host institutions, the project will complement the activities of and allow efficient interfacing with the ERCEA. The proposed support is required as the ScC Chair’s duties amount to a full-time commitment and the corresponding duties of the Vice-Chairs demand a considerable part of their time. Their activities are diverse and intensive, ranging from preparing chairing, and following-up on the ScC and Board meetings, interfacing between the ScC and the ERCEA, liaising with the European institutions, and representing ERC in the media and at national, European and international meetings. Overall, the project is expected to contribute significantly to the implementation of the Ideas specific programme.

On the wave of the success of the 2010 “Researchers’ Night in Venice”, other two extraordinary cities of the Veneto region, Padua and Verona, will join the 2011 “Veneto Researchers’ Night”. Venice, Padua and Verona host four of the most prestigious Italian universities together with the research centres, companies and local institutions that will be part of the project’s consortium. On 23rd September several activities will be organized in the three historical city centres. Researchers will be performers, guides, animators, always interacting with the public at large. The key focus will be to discover all aspects of life and scientific career of the researchers, showing that they are ordinary people with an amazing job. The events will be different for each location, taking advantage of the diverse characteristics and contexts: a soccer championship, artistic and scientific laboratories, treasure hunts, concerts, discos, guided tours to the cities and to their cultural centres, readings in the cafes, poster exhibitions, activities for children, informal conferences. Six European corners, settled in strategic points of the cities, will host games, videos, music, demonstrations and interactive activities, encouraging the participants to approach the “Research World” and its European dimension. The project will bring researchers face-to-face with the broad public by shading light on how researchers’ life and work are closely related to society and common people. The communication campaign, common for the three cities involved, will be planned and tailored to the event in order to reach at least 300.000 people. General public and researchers will be involved before the event, encouraged to post on the website individual messages or questions they would like to send to the researchers of the future. 10.000 participants and an effective media coverage are expected. A reinforced impact assessment will include questionnaires and interviews on the event.
