The Clean Hydrogen in European Cities (CHIC) Project is the essential next step to full commercialisation of hydrogen powered fuel cell (H2FC) buses. CHIC will reduce the ‘time to market’ for the technology and support ‘market lift off’ – 2 central objectives of the Joint Undertaking. CHIC will: - Intensively test the technology to generate learning for the final steps towards commercialisation by operating a minimum of 26 H2FC buses in medium sized fleets in normal city bus operation, and substantially enlarging hydrogen infrastructure in 5 European regions. - Embed the substantial knowledge and experience from previous H2FC bus projects (CUTE & HyFLEET:CUTE). - Accelerate development of clean public transport systems in new European Regions. - Conduct a life cycle based sustainability assessment of the use of H2FC buses in public transport, based on a triple bottom line approach considering environmental, economic and social aspects. - Identify the advantages, improvement potentials, complementarities and synergies of H2FC buses compared with conventional and alternative technologies - Build a critical mass of public support for the benefits of ‘green’ hydrogen powered transport, leading to increased visibility and political commitment across Europe. The project is based on a staged introduction and build-up of H2FC bus fleets and the supporting infrastructure across Europe. A phased approach will link experienced cities and new cities in partnerships, greatly facilitating the smooth introduction of the new systems now and into the future. Using this arrangement the project will be linked to other projects fully funded from other sources and therefore magnifies the impact of the JTI. In the context of the H2FC bus projects and progress achieved to this point, the expected results of CHIC will take the technology to the brink of commercialisation, leading in turn to very significant environmental & economic benefits to Europe and to the World.

Long-term stable operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) is a basic requirement for introducing this technology to the stationary power market. Degradation phenomena limiting the lifetime can be divided into continuous (baseline) and incidental (transient) effects. This project is concerned with understanding the details of the major SOFC continuous degradation effects and developing models that will predict single degradation phenomena and their combined effect on SOFC cells and single repeating units. The outcome of the project will be an in-depth understanding of the degradation phenomena as a function of the basic physico-chemical processes involved, including their dependency on operational parameters. Up to now research has rarely succeeded in linking the basic changes in materials properties to the decrease in electro-chemical performance at the level of multi-layer systems and SOFC cells, and even up to single repeating units.

Nanoscale energy management is a new, exciting field that is gaining increasing importance with the realization that a new generation of micro-to-nanoscale devices aimed at sensing, processing, actuating and communication will not be possible without solving the powering issue. The scientific objective of this project is thus to study energy efficiency with the specific aim of identifying new directions for energy-harvesting technologies at the nanometre and molecular scale. The technological objective of the project is to integrate such technologies into autonomous nanoscale systems to allow new, low-power ICT architectures to find their way into devices. In a joint effort, the nanopower consortium composed by world leading experts in the fabrication of Si and III-V semiconductor nanodevices, fundamental and applied modelling as well as design and integration of ICT architectures will fabricate, test and evaluate new conception devices: “nanomechanical nonlinear oscillators”, “phonon rectifiers” and “quantum harvesters” addressing applied prototypes and non-equilibrium processes down to the quantum level.

To meet the challenges of the Objective 4.3 &apos;Intelligent Information Management&apos; it is necessary to have access to large-scale, heterogeneous real-world data for use in experiments, prototypes and demonstrators. Linked Data technologies have rapidly gained momentum in the last two years as the primary means for publishing data on the Web. The uptake of Linked Data technologies has lead to the extension of the Web with a public Linked Data space containing more than 6.7 billion pieces of information, making it by far the largest source of multi-domain, real-world data currently in existence. This data space is increasingly being used for both research efforts and real-world applications. As a result of its explosive growth, several problems have emerged within the LOD data space, including the sparsity of links between datasets, the quality of these links, the lack of well documented tools for publishing and consuming data, and the lack of a good data source inventory. The LATC (&apos;LOD Around The Clock&apos;) Support Action will improve the quality of the Linked Open Data space to enable FP7 projects to leverage it for research purposes. Building on the success of the W3C Linking Open Data (LOD) project, key participants of this effort have gathered in LATC to support the implementation of the EC Framework Programmes by: + Deploying an open, 24/7 infrastructure for the creation of millions of high-quality data links between widely used Web data sources. + Providing an open source library of Linked Data tools, which will support research projects in publishing and consuming Linked Data from the Web. + Create a test-bed for data intensive applications by publishing datasets produced by European institutions as Linked Data on the Web. + Supporting institutions as well as individuals with tutorials and best practices concerning Linked Data publication and consumption.

Von Neumann's concept of quantization goes back to the foundations of quantum mechanics and provides a noncommutative model of integration. Over the years, von Neumann algebras have shown a profound structure and set the right framework for quantizing portions of algebra, analysis, geometry and probability. A fundamental part of my research is devoted to develop a very much expected Calderón-Zygmund theory for von Neumann algebras. The lack of natural metrics partly justifies this long standing gap in the theory. Key new ingredients come from recent results on noncommutative martingale inequalities, operator space theory and quantum probability. This is an ambitious research project and applications include new estimates for noncommutative Riesz transforms, Fourier and Schur multipliers on arbitrary discrete groups or noncommutative ergodic theorems. Other related objectives of this project include Rubio de Francia's conjecture on the almost everywhere convergence of Fourier series for matrix valued functions or a formulation of Fefferman-Stein's maximal inequality for noncommutative martingales. Reciprocally, I will also apply new techniques from quantum probability in noncommutative Lp embedding theory and the local theory of operator spaces. I have already obtained major results in this field, which might be useful towards a noncommutative form of weighted harmonic analysis and new challenging results on quantum information theory.

We propose novel methods for modelling, analysis and control of complex, large scale systems. Fundamental research is motivated by applied problems in power networks. We adopt the framework of stochastic hybrid systems (SHS), which allows one to capture the interaction between continuous dynamics, discrete dynamics and probabilistic uncertainty. In the context of power networks, SHS arise naturally: continuous dynamics model the evolution of voltages, frequencies, etc. discrete dynamics changes in network topology, and probability the uncertainty about power demand and (with the advent of renewables) power supply. More generally, because of their versatility, SHS are recognized as an ideal framework for capturing the intricacies of complex, large scale systems. Motivated by this, considerable research effort has been devoted to the development of modelling, analysis and control methods for SHS, in computer science (giving rise to theorem proving and model checking methods) and in control engineering (giving rise to optimal control and randomized methods). Despite several success stories, however, none of the methods currently available are powerful enough to deal with real life large scale applications. We feel that a key reason for this is that the methods have been developed by different communities in relative isolation, motivated by different applications. As a consequence synergies between them have never been fully explored. We propose to systematically exploit such synergies. Our multi-disciplinary team, which brings together experts on all the state of the art SHS methods, will establish links between model checking, theorem proving, optimal control and randomized methods. Leveraging on their complementary strengths we will develop combined strategies and tools to enable novel applications to complex, large scale systems. Common power networks case studies will provide a testing ground for the fundamental developments, motivate them, and keep them focused.

The complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) has become a major common research focus of graph theory, artificial intelligence, and finite model theory. A recently discovered connection between the complexity of CSPs on finite domains to central problems in universal algebra led to additional activity in the area. The goal of this project is to extend the powerful techniques for constraint satisfaction to CSPs with infinite domains. The generalization of CSPs to infinite domains enhances dramatically the range of computational problems that can be analyzed with tools from constraint satisfaction complexity. Many problems from areas that have so far seen no interaction with constraint satisfaction complexity theory can be formulated using infinite domains (and not with finite domains), e.g. in phylogenetic reconstruction, temporal and spatial reasoning, computer algebra, and operations research. It turns out that the search for systematic complexity classification in infinite domain constraint satisfaction often leads to fundamental algorithmic results. The generalization of constraint satisfaction to infinite domains poses several mathematical challenges: To make the universal algebraic approach work for infinite domain constraint satisfaction we need fundamental concepts from model theory. Luckily, the new mathematical challenges come together with additional strong tools, such as Ramsey theory or results from model theory. The most important challgenges are of an algorithmic nature: finding efficient algorithms for significant constraint languages, but also finding natural classes of problems that can be solved by a given algorithm.

This support action, EURO-DOTS, is aimed primarily at improving the offering and the quality of training proposed to European PhD students. It helps fulfilling the requirements for ECTS credits imposed to PhD students by major European universities for obtaining the Doctoral (PhD) degree in Engineering. A coherent set of advanced courses in micro/nano-electronics, explicitly accredited by major European universities in the framework of their Doctoral Program, will be made easily accessible to European PhD students, offering the opportunity to collect ECTS credits throughout Europe. The global objective of EURO-DOTS is to create a delocalized (virtual) platform to serve the Doctoral Schools in Europe in micro/nano-electronics. The courses will respect specific organization criteria (short, intensive one-week course modules with optional exam) that will make them very flexible, accessible and attractive as well for high-level continuous education of engineers from industry. Scholarships will be made available to selected PhD students for boosting the start-up of the project, while other sources of scholarships and/or industrial support will be explored for the long-term continuation of the project.

Improving the conditions for developing innovative economies is high on the agenda of both the OECD and the European Union. In 2005, the EC undertook a review of the Lisbon strategy. This led the Commission to propose a European Partnership for Growth and Jobs, with 'knowledge and innovation for growth' being one of its main pillars. In 2007, Ministers called upon the OECD to develop a strategy to strengthen the contribution of innovation to key economic and social objectives. Central to this is the concept that knowledge is the key prerequisite for progress and value creation. There are great opportunities for mutually beneficial co-operation between the OECD and the European Commission in developing emprical and policy analysis on the creation, circulation and returns from investing in knowledge. « Making the most of knowledge » (acronym KNOWINNO) proposes a co-operation on three distinct themes of mutual interest to the EC and the OECD: (1) services as a source of knowledge creation and growth ; (2) knowledge networks as a result of new collaborative practices, where knowledge sharing and exchange between firms, individuals and institutions have grown to facilitate knowledge creation and circulation ; (3) the career path and mobility of doctorate holders, a population specifically trained for scientific research. This cooperation will serve to strengthen the continued relevance of the Lisbon Strategy and the value added of the OECD Innovation Strategy beyond 2010.

India and the European Union face common timely challenges in the very important and potential field of networked monitoring and control system technologies, which create a favorable environment for strategic collaboration. Consequently, the main aim of EUCLID is to increase co-operation in this field between Indian and European R&D specialists, ensuring mutual benefits. The two-year project will start its analysis from industrial needs in 4 application domains - (1) transportation; (2) energy management; (3) industrial automation; (4) water supply / treatment. In parallel, industrial needs in the relevant application domains in Europe will be identified as well, and cross-mapped with the findings in India, paving way to further strengthen R&D collaboration. The international Expert Group – 10 high level specialists – will work jointly with the consortium and will provide their expertise to project implementation and assistance to the development of long term EU-Indian monitoring and control collaborations. The EUCLID project will map Indian monitoring and control competences, will compare them with the identified industrial needs both in India and in Europe and European research priorities, and will map potential collaboration opportunities. As a result, Catalogue of Indian R&D organisations will be prepared. The EUCLID project team will assess EU-India collaboration potential and will prepare an Opportunity Report and a roadmap for EU-Indian collaboration in the field of networked monitoring and control system technologies. The project plans to implement two awareness raising events, and a Delegation tour in India. It will aim to strengthen the industrial competitiveness in both India and the EU and to increase skills of R&D specialists. The mutual actions between EU and India will contribute to the inter-disciplinary excellence in control systems technologies.
