The long term objective of the WOODLIFE project is to provide coated and glued wood products with substantially improved durability for a more sustainable society. The project aims to develop new water-based clear coating systems for wood with improved UV-absorbing properties, and to develop new water-based thermoplastic wood adhesives with improved mechanical properties. The new coating and adhesive systems will be designed through molecular manufacturing of inorganic nanoparticles, nanoclays and composite organic-inorganic binders with predictable and controllable properties. Wood is an excellent building material with a high strength/density ratio and it is a renewable resource. For outdoor use it is, however, necessary to enhance the durability of wood materials due to the high sensitivity for UV degradation. Traditionally, organic UV-absorbers are used in clear coatings for wood, however these substances degrade upon outdoor weathering. New UV-absorbing systems for clear coats will be developed in the project based on nanoparticles of CeO2, ZnO and TiO2. With these new systems the service-life of the coated wood will be extended and the cost for maintenance and wood replacement will be decreased. If the mechanical properties of water-based thermoplastic wood adhesives such as PVAc can be improved it would be possible to use the wood products based on these systems for a longer time, leading to a more sustainable society. It would also be possible to use PVAc adhesives instead of the more expensive MUF/PRF adhesives in some load-bearing applications. Engineered nanoparticles will be developed in the project and will be introduced into wood adhesives in order to improve the properties of wood-adhesive joints. The nanoparticles and nanoclays that will be developed in the project will either be added directly to water-based systems or incorporated in hybrid binders in order to improve the dispersion of the nanoparticles and to improve storage stability.

This proposal is a re-submission of the Proposal WELCOME, that was submitted by the Foundation for Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Portugal, in response to the call Cofund, of 2007. The proposal WELCOME entered the reserve list but was not funded due to lack of budget. Considering the comments made by the evaluators, this new proposal - WELCOME II, has been improved namely in what regards eligibility restrictions of nationality. Other comments such as issues of single call have been carefully looked at and considered in the new proposal. The Foundation maintains the three-year length of the programme of reintegration, addresses it to all researchers of any MS/AC nationalities coming from any Third Country, and makes no restrictions of scientific areas. The programme respects the bottom-up nature of the scheme that aims to guarantee that reseachers will carry out a career development project of their own choice. In what regards the quality of the programme, it will be ensured by the recognition of the host institutions by the Foundation subsequent to their international evaluation, and by the transparency of evaluation of the applicants. Inter-sectoral mobility is also considered in the Programme.

U-MOBILITY is a mobility programme to be implemented by Universidad de Malaga. It is aimed at experienced researchers resident in the region of Andalusia. The main objective of this programme is to foster trans-national mobility and international cooperation in research within the research community of Universidad de Malaga and the region of the south of Spain, so that researchers can find the best way to develop their careers, increase their competences in research and become mature scientists. The programme has an overall duration of 48 months. Within this period, Universidad de Malaga will publish an open call for 12 fellowships of 24-36 months to carry out a research project contributing to the career development of the fellow. The fellowship consist of two phases: a trans-national mobility phase (outgoing phase) of 18-24 months, developed in a high level institution (public or private) of any EU Member State, Associated Country or Third Country, and a return phase of 9-12 months, in which the fellow will come back to Universidad de Malaga to finish his/her research project. The programme is based on individual-driven mobility and in a merit based open competition. The awarded fellows will be appointed under a contract of employment with Universidad de Malaga including complete social security coverage. This programme constitutes a breakthrough within the region of the south of Spain and expects to help to break mobility barriers, encouraging more researchers to tackle a trans-national mobility experience. Fellows will gain experience and independence, fostering long-term collaborations with research groups of Universidad de Malaga, which will increase its international visibility. Moreover, this initiative is aligned with international and forthcoming national science policies, so it will possibly cause a leverage effect in regional institutions that can contribute to the future development of the programme.

The objective of CASCADE-FELLOWS is to stimulate and promote the career development of experienced researchers who show considerable promise to become future leaders in the field of endocrine disruptors, nuclear receptor biology and health risk assessment. The programme will be built upon an ongoing very successful trans-national fellowship and training programme, organised by the CASCADE Network of Excellence, which has integrated the resources of 21 European universities, research institutes and SMEs. CASCADE-FELLOWS, takes the existing fellowship programme to new levels by:- • opening the programme to applicants from all over the world, thus adding a significant international dimension to the trans-national mobility of fellows; • including new partner organisations who will host the fellows within the EU member states, associated countries and third countries, thus extending the trans-national mobility of fellows to and from a wider geographical area; • adding a transnational inter-sectorial exchange dimension between academia and SMEs with a novel component to enable academic research fellows not to have a gap in their academic careers; • providing a new incoming mobility component to enable top-class third country fellows to be hosted in Europe to both enhance competition and to establish mutually-beneficial research cooperation; • providing a reintegration component to counter the brain drain of European researchers to third countries. The focal point of the programme is the career development of the individual fellows. The programme is characterised by transparency and openness, granting the fellow freedom to choose the research project, host organisation and host supervisor. Guided by a personal career development plan, a one-to-one mentorship programme and reintegration opportunities, CASCADE-FELLOWS provides a comprehensive programme of support for the fellow to embark on a long-term scientific career which responds to changing market needs.

ARAID (Agencia Aragonesa para la Investigación y Desarrollo) Foundation is an Agency created by the Government of Aragon with the aim of promoting research, development and innovation in the region Aragon. It is a non-profit organization, with the legal status of a Foundation. ARAID Foundation operates as beneficiary and will manage ARAIDEU (ARAID-European Union Fellowships) attraction of researchers Program throughout its whole duration. The ARAIDEU Program will last 48 months and disseminate 3 calls for applications between month 1 and month 18 targeting the selection of 24 experienced research fellows and their attraction to any Research Host Institutions in the Aragon region. Information concerning the selection timetables and procedures will be available at the Project website (www.araid.es), and specific information will be updated at each launch of call for applications. The selection procedure of ARAIDEU Fellowship Programme will consist of three phases: Publication of the call and reception applications, Evaluation of applications, Negotiation and Interview: Contract agreement and project start date. The program will ensure an appropriate management with revision of the program plan and is expected to continue in time after the EU-COFUND financing stops. Most of the fellowships if not all will be converted into long term (equivalent to tenure positions) contracts funded by the Government of Aragon to continue research projects with the Foundation support and as part of the staff of the Host Institution. This will depend on a post fellowship assessment on the evolution of the research projects and the available regional funding after the COFUND period.

I shall pursue two projects both of which belong to the fields of partial differential equations, geometric analysis and mathematical physics. The first project, ``the shock development problem&quot;, belongs also to the field of fluid dynamics and aims at a full understanding of how, in the real world of 3 spatial dimensions, hydrodynamic shocks evolve, my previous work having analyzed in detail how they form. The second project, ``the formation of electromagnetic shocks in nonlinear media&quot; aims at establishing how electromagnetic shocks form by the focusing of incoming electromagnetic wave pulses in a nonlinear medium. The case of an isotropic nonlinear dielectric will be studied first, to be followed by the case of a general isotropic medium. The methods of geometric analysis introduced in my previous work shall be employed, in particular the ``short pulse method&quot; introduced in my work on the formation of black holes by the focusing of incoming gravitational waves in general relativity. The application of these methods to the problem for a general isotropic medium will require the development of new geometric structures. My three Ph. D. students shall purse the following three projects, belonging also to the fields of partial differential equations, geometric analysis and mathematical physics. The first project is in nonlinear elasticity. It is the study of the equilibrium configurations, in free space, of a crystalline solid in which a continuous distribution of dislocations is present, and aims at analyzing the relationship between the dislocation distribution and the resulting internal stress field. The second is in general relativity and aims at a theoretical understanding of the phenomena discovered by M. Choptuik in his numerical study of the gravitational collapse of a self-gravitating scalar field in spherical symmetry. The third is the study of hydrodynamic shock interactions and focusing in spherical symmetry.

EUMEDGRID-Support aims at reinforcing the relevance of European e-Infrastructures in the Mediterranean and Middle-east regions. The project will build on the results obtained by EUMEDCONNECT/ EUMEDCONNECT2 and the preceding project EUMEDGRID, which successfully deployed a research and education network and a pilot Grid infrastructure, respectively, presently covering almost all the Mediterranean Area. An agreement has been signed among the EUMEDGRID partners to keep open, to the best of their capabilities, the existing Infrastructure and EUMEDGRID-Support wants, not only to consolidate and expand it, but also to make a step forward towards its sustainability. The overarching objective of EUMEDGRID-Support is to retain the European and Mediterranean country dialogue achieved in the past as well as to increase stakeholders’ and community awareness on the fundamental importance of e-Infrastructures in the Mediterranean and on their sustainability. The project will use the consolidated schema of a two-fold approach: A bottom-up, raising the awareness of researchers, students and technical personnel, which will exploit the usage of e-Infrastructures in their work and appreciate their value, and a top-down approach at the high policy-level highlighting the benefits and justifying the necessity of e-Infrastructures to influential stakeholders in order to push for a long term stability and sustainability of such e-Infrastructures.

Atom-economic, atom-economic ("click"-type)transformations of donor (N,N-dialkylaniline, TTF, ferrocene)-activated acetylenes with strong electron-accepting olefins (TCNE, TCNQ, tricyanovinyl derivatives) are applied to the construction of stable molecular and supramolecular chromophores with unusual electronic and optical properties. Their properties are characterized in interdisciplinary collaboration with the objectives to provide new classes of chromophores for opto-electronic device applications, to investigate pi-electron delocalization in acetylenic molecular architectures extending into one, two, and three dimensions, and to advance fundamental knowledge in an interplay between experiment and theory allowing prediction and tuning of opto-electronic properties. Specific aims are: 1. New &quot;super-electron acceptors&quot; and investigation of their intra- and intermolecular charge-transfer interactions. These non-planar, stable, and sublimable chromophores are expected to possess high third-order optical nonlinearities and are investigated for formation of amorphous, high-optical quality films and conductive or magnetic charge-transfer complexes and salts with various electron donors. 2. Optically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles and oligomers adopting helical conformations. The chiroptical properties of these chromophores are exceptional and will be further enhanced in supramolecular assemblies. 3. Covalently modified fullerenes with increased electron uptake capability for applications in photovoltaic devices. 4. Regular [AB]-type oligomers and polymers using the formation of charge-transfer chromophores from acetylenic precursors as the chain-propagation step. 5. Zwitterionic, redox-amphiphilic dendrimers for mono- and multi-layer formation in organic electronic devices.

We apply for financial support for the new, fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-IV) - one of the largest scale sky surveys worldwide, operating continuously since 1992. During its operation the OGLE project contributed significantly to many fields of modern astrophysics including gravitational microlensing, extrasolar planets searches, stellar astrophysics, Galactic structure and many others. The main scientific goal of the OGLE-IV phase will be the second generation planetary microlensing survey. It should result in top rank discoveries of the Earth mass planets and should provide the full census of planets down to Earth masses orbiting their hosts at 1-5 AU orbits. This parameter space is only accessible to the microlensing technique. Complementary census of planets orbiting at the distances smaller that 1 AU is to be made by space missions using transit technique. OGLE-IV survey will also conduct research in many other top rank astrophysical topics like the search for Pluto size dwarf planets from the Kuiper Belt, search for free-floating black holes, microlensing in the Magellanic Clouds and Galactic disk. Hundreds of new discoveries in the variable star field are also guaranteed. Moreover, OGLE-IV will operate on-line services providing real time photometry of variable objects of many types. The OGLE-IV data will be placed in public domain and available to the astronomical community.
