The proposed project tackles a CfP from the JTI-GRA ITD. Is focuses on the experimental optimization of a regional aircraft configuration and a subsequent optimization of take-off/ landing configuration. The regional aircraft has a wing designed for natural laminar flow, fuselage-mounted engines and a T-tail. Open configurational questions that are addressed tackle wing-tip devices and their performance, engine positions as well as tail-plane position and settings. In order to account for the fuselage-mounted engine the model will include a working propulsion system designed to fit the real engines. This first test-phase focuses on the configurational questions, the second test-phase tackles the optimization of the HLD-devices by testing different configurations. Therefore apart from the modular aircraft configuration the different control surfaces, HLD devices used for assessing the landing-configuration and stability and control issues for the different configurations will include actuators to allow continuous setting and fast wind-tunnel tests. Pressure tubes, sensors and a balance system to measure engine thrust will be introduced into the aircraft model, too. The consortium for this proposal consists of 5 partners which were chosen according to their experience in different fields needed in this proposal. The consortium is well balanced, including SMEs, University and Industry. The work proposed in this proposal covers the total design, including solutions for actuators, propulsion system, the manufacturing of the model, its Ground-Vibration-Test and the Wind-Tunnel Test as well as the final subsequent modifications needed to operate the model in subsequent tests as required in the CfP. Thus the work is structured in four different work-package, dealing with Management, Design & Manufacturing, Tests and Final Modifications.

Project IMAGINE aims at developing operational constraints and cost models representative of airline operations. As part of the MTM activity of CleanSky’s SGO ITD, these models will be integrated in the GATAC Optimization framework to add the operational and economics dimension to the multi-criteria optimization of flight trajectories. IMAGINE will develop models for: - Operational constraints (aircraft and operations limitations, minimum turn-around time, etc.) - “Basic operations costs” (Aicraft ownership, maintenance, landing and navigation, overhead, etc.) - Environmental costs (ETS, airport emission charges, noise charges…) - Crew costs - Fleet and schedule related costs, including revenue opportunities and losses The originality of IMAGINE relies in: - The ability to address all the costs with different models: simulation based, statistics based and OR based - The ability to handle fleet-wide problems in a single optimization run and take into account interactions between the flights (for example for crew pairings and schedule impacts) - The ability to propose near-exact models (with high accuracy but requiring many airline parameters) or approached models based on the innovative surface response methodology, which is well adapted to a generic optimization framework such as GATAC - The validation of the models against real airline data exploiting different types of aircraft: regional turboprops, single-aisles and widebodies. - The ability of the consortium to deliver industry-level object oriented code for the implementation of the model. The consortium involves 2 SMEs with extensive experience in aviation, environment and the development of costs models and optimization engines used daily within different models of airlines. Finally, the participants have experience in handling such projects, the coordinator having taken a key role in the Clean Sky projects CARING and BASE on flight trajectory optimization and economic modeling of environmental constraints

The project is designed to analyze the effects of chronic pollution by off-shore oil and gas fields on marine life. During an environmental monitoring programme carried out in the southern Arabian Gulf, water, sediment and benthic marine life samples were collected in the vicinities of four fields. Pollution effects will be evaluated by classical benthic ecology methods and by an innovative approach which evaluates the agreement between the death and living assemblages: a mismatch between the composition of a time-averaged death assemblage of molluscan skeletal remains and the associated living assemblage can be reliable and conservative evidence for human-induced change in shallow-marine habitats. This approach focuses on shelled molluscs, which leave durable post-mortem remains. It will be augmented by radiocarbon-calibrated-AAR age estimates from time-averaged assemblages to better assess the causes of potential mismatch between the living and death assemblage. This is one of the few projects where environmental assessment data gained by private companies will be provided to the scientific community. Quantification of live-dead agreement and shell dating are taphonomy techniques that this project will use to assess present-day ecological dynamics. They are tools of the emerging new research field of conservation palaeobiology. The fellowship will train the fellow in this new field, tutored by a group of complementary supervisors expert in fossil and recent benthic processes and patterns in the Mediterranean and tropical seas. Analytical taphonomy and shell dating will optimally blend marine biology and palaeontology techniques to yield new multidisciplinary insights into a key issue of our times – the degradation of marine habitats by human activity.

Through the enlargement process, the EU is facing a crucial issue of its own future. Enlargement process is also related to its relationships with its neighbourhood. The aim of EUTUR project is to investigate EU projects in Turkey funded by the Instrument of Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). By focusing on the tools of pre accession policy, EUTUR will highlight another face of the enlargement process, EUTUR will allow for a better understanding of the ongoing admission process and EU candidate countries relations. At the moment, Turkey is the cornerstone of the enlargement process. The progression of the political negotiations is very slow. Since the opening of negotiations in October 2005, only thirteen chapters of the Acquis have been opened and only one has been closed. In 2006, eight chapters relevant to Turkey's restrictions with regard to the Republic of Cyprus have been frozen by the EU and seven chapters have been vetoed by France or Cyprus. Since 2010, no other chapter has been opened. However, this does not mean that there hasn’t been any action with regards to Turkey’s EU bid. Last May 17th, a “Positive Agenda” between the EU and Turkey was launched in order to keep the enlargement process alive. Beside this new statement, since 2007, both candidate countries and potential candidates have received focused European funding and support through a single channel, IPA (consisting of five components: Transition Assistance and Institution Building; Cross-Border Cooperation; Regional Development; Human Resources Development; and Rural Development). In considering the 2007-2013 financial perspective , EUTUR will evaluate the role and potential impact of a public action tool (EU funded projects) on the transformation of European and Turkish political systems. It will focus on governance of the enlargement process, on Turkish elites and Turkish governance. It will also highlight how the EU manages its relation with its close periphery.

As a result of climate change, the frequency of floods and droughts is expected to increase in many European river basins. Adaptation measures are a top priority of the European Commission and are crucial for protecting populations, economies and ecosystems. This research will contribute to the challenges associated with climate change adaptation by questioning the transferability of relevant water management knowledge across European countries. While little is known how context actually matters when transferring such knowledge, it is widely acknowledged that knowledge transfer involves adaptation to context-specific factors and learning processes. The objective of this research is to show how adaptation and learning contribute to the successful transfer of water-related knowledge. To achieve this objective, insights on knowledge transfer, water management and governance will be integrated into a comparative research framework. This framework will be used to analyze and compare an intermediate number of cases (circa 10-15). Cases will be selected from European water-related projects that involve the transfer of knowledge for climate change adaptation. Qualitative Comparative Analysis will be used to identify the conditions that are necessary and sufficient for the successful transfer of knowledge. The applicant of this fellowship is a Dutch researcher with a strong research background in international water management and governance as well as knowledge transfer. She will implement the research from within the Resources Management group of the University of Osnabrück. This group has an extensive international network and various researchers working on related topics. The fellowship will reinforce the applicants’ substantive knowledge, methodological skills, international network and other academic qualities (e.g. supervision). It will support her in attaining her career ambition: becoming an international academic in the field of water management.

Fibrosis, or scarring, is a process which complicates many diseases of the lung and other organs and for which there is no current treatment. It is also associated with many cancers. Fibrotic diseases constitute a heavy burden of morbidity and untimely deaths. There are currently no ways to detect the activity of fibrosis in human tissues in life. The aims of the project are to generate and validate, in a biological setting, a series of probes for the detection and analysis of fibrosis in vitro and in vivo. This project aims to develop ‘smart’ probes to detect fibrosis in ‘real time’. This will be achieved by the combined application of organic synthesis and ‘cutting-edge’ technology to perform optical imaging microscopy deep in diseased organs to detect the activity of a ‘tiny’ dose of a coloured compound which has been designed to specifically detect key events in the fibrotic process. The biological targets chosen are well recognised as key components of the fibrogenic pathway and are amenable for optical imaging using probe-based confocal laser endoscopy. The research pathway detailed herein will create novel active chemical “smartprobes” as markers of fibrogenesis in situ to rapidly establish early diagnosis and efficacy of much needed new therapies in scarring diseases of the lung and other organs. This technology will enable us not only to detect fibrosis, also to develop new drugs for human disease.
