Mass spectrometry is an analytical science covering the multiple fields of chemistry, physics and biology. Each world has its specific needs and ways of producing and analysing samples. The world of clinical proteomics is complex since it involves a close interaction between doctors and hospital practitioners, not mass spectrometrists by nature, and analytical scientists. Several SMEs already enter the field; however none of the proposed solutions have yet reached the ultimate goal of producing the perfect software suite for clinicians and the right instrument for the challenge of ultimate biomarker discovery. However, this challenge is a never ending story since instrument capabilities to look for a needle in a haystack need to be improved continuously. The present Euro MALDI project aims at developing a new powerful proteomic solution for clinical applications. The proteomic platform will be composed of three main software for lipidomics, protein profiling and tandem mass spectrometry with a clinical interface and a high end MALDI TOF-TOF mass spectrometer. This challenge will be fulfilled by collaboration between academia (UnivMed) and an SME (Kratos). Kratos, a specialist in surface analysis and mass spectrometry ,will install a high end mass spectrometer in the premises of the centre for oncology and oncopharmacology (UnivMed/CRO2). CRO2 groups basic and clinical research teams as well as hospital practitioners. The centre has several core facilities such as technological platforms, biobanks, and animal nursing. Moreover the centre has its own research team in proteomics. CRO2 will provide the necessary expertise in clinical biology and biological mass spectrometry to optimize the MALDI mass spectrometer and allow its commercial release by the end of the project. This will lead to long term collaboration between UnivMEd and Kratos with wide social, societal and economic benefits.

In order to investigate gust loads and control them on aircrafts, wind tunnel test researches must be conducted. In this project, a gust generator and a wing model with control surfaces for these tests have to be designed and manufactured to contribute to a means of research for wind tunnel activities. Before generating this hardware, a full CAD structural design is necessary. These parts will be manufactured using an innovative optimized metallic and composite structure for the low weight and inertia required for the test. Aviation Design is a SME with a long tradition in structural mechanics, CAD drawings, aerodynamics research & testing, and composite / metallic building. Consequently our customers come from areas where all aspects of our knowledge and expertise are needed, which are among the aviation industry, on civilian and military research projects. Aviation Design can therefore draw on long years of experience in the field required here: - In wind tunnel making models for ONERA S4 and L2 wind tunnels. We conducted a full wind tunnel campaign in S4 for a major aerospace company with a composite / metal model. - In composite structure making parts and components since 1993 for UAV and aeronautical industry, research centres, university and model airplane industry. - In structural and aeronautical CAD design as subcontractor for UAV for aerospace companies. Aviation Design will start with a detailed analysis of the design problem of a light weight low inertia and strong structure, will propose and discuss solutions with the SFWA partners and will build a composite / metallic structure, using a modern, state of the art parts which promises a high level of quality for the design. All relevant steps will be performed in close cooperation with the SFWA partners, in order to ensure that all input for the project is accounted for. This project is directly involved in Smart Wing Technologies in active gust load control. Gust load control solutions will help to create new innovative wing concepts and reduce structural weight for aircraft to reduce the environmental impact of air transport. The impact of the wind tunnel tests will help to develop breakthrough technologies to reduce the environmental impact of air transport and also to improve aircraft ride comfort and safety

The strategy to enhance research potential at the Faculty of Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College (Krakow, Poland) in OMICRON project focuses on enabling high-throughput technologies as the key element, the lack of which is slowing down its scientific development at the moment. We propose to achieve this goal through six workpackages. WP 1. Acquisition of state-of-the-art research equipment that will make high-throughput OMICS experiments in Krakow technically possible. WP2. Brain gain – recruitment of experienced researchers is intended to attract scientists from other research centres with excellent skills and large experience in the areas associated with OMICS centre. WP3. Transfer of knowledge and experience aims to obtain training not only from vendors of purchased instruments but also through intensive education at European partnering organisations to provide researchers with hands-on experience. A few leading scientific areas represented at JUMC were selected for this project. Local scientists will be trained in handling large number of samples, performing high-throughput experimentation, and analysing large amounts of data. Eminent researchers from partnering academic and industrial institutions across Europe will come for visits to provide advice on organisation of the centre and experimental issues. The workshops and research conferences on the technological and experimental aspects of next generation high-throughput technology will be organised in Krakow. This will help to establish collaborations between researchers from Krakow and leading European scientific institutions. WP4. Knowledge acquired during the project will be disseminated in Poland and neighbouring countries to initiate new generation molecular research in this region of Europe. WP5. The project will be managed according to strict legal and financial rules applicable. WP6 will provide an opportunity for external experts to evaluate the progress and management of the project.

Core-shell materials are of enormous interest for many applications in nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Only recently, due to the achievements of the consortium, the generation of such nanoparticles by applying unique proteins from marine organisms has become possible. In this IAPP, based on a long-term and very successful cooperation between groups in Germany and Croatia, well known in the field of marine biotechnology of sponges and associated microorganisms, and now extended by an SME (NanotecMARIN GmbH) with a special focus on the exploitation of marine metal-oxide forming enzymes / proteins, a marine bacterial multicopper oxidase (MCO) and a sponge laccase, which are able to catalyze the oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(IV), will be used to generate novel metal oxide nanocomposite materials. Enzymatically active MCO will be immobilized on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to enzymatically fabricate core-shell materials. In addition, MCO and laccase will be applied in combination with silica or other metal oxide-forming proteins (recombinant silicatein and silintaphin-1) to generate nanoparticles containing multiple shells of various materials, which can be doped with fluorescent dyes and proteins during their formation at mild conditions. These core-shell nanoparticles will be used in drug delivery, for removal of manganese or other heavy metals from contaminated aqueous solutions (remediation of contaminated environments), as well as for the development of antifouling strategies.

The European whitefish catch and processing industry is dominated by SMEs, and it is currently facing several challenges. Worldwide many stocks have collapsed, and environmental organizations warn against consuming captured whitefish. Strict regulations with respect to documentation and traceability have been imposed on the European captured fish industry in the last few years, and fulfilling these generates significant additional cost. While some cod/haddock stocks, particularly in the north-east Atlantic, are still healthy and sustainable there is a problem for these species when they get to the market. This is due to competition from cheap farmed whitefish species, in particular pangasius and tilapia imported from Asia/Africa. The goal of the WHITEFISH project is to strengthen the competitiveness of the European cod/haddock industry by documenting the desirable characteristics of whitefish caught in the north-east Atlantic, in particular relating to sustainability (stock, environmental, economic and social). The specific objective of the project is to develop and validate an objective and transparent method to document the sustainability impact of captured fish products. The method will be based on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), and it will calculate sustainability impact on production batch level as opposed to generic product type level which is current practice. This will enable differentiated calculation of environmental impact, so that products that look identical may be shown to have different properties, for instance related to food miles or CO2 emissions. The method will utilize existing recordings in the company traceability systems, so that food businesses may perform their own calculations of sustainability without needing to involve external experts. The method will be developed, piloted and tested in this project, SMEs and SME Associations will be trained in the use of it, and it will be published and distributed as a European ‘good practice’ standard.

In order for the EC to achieve ambitious renewable energy targets there is a strong need to accelerate market penetration of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) in both industrial and domestic sectors. The domestic sector is of major significance, as it will reduce reliance on large centralized energy plants. There are several domestic options including solar thermal, solar electric, heat pump and biomass systems. Of these, solar and heat pump technologies have the widest potential application as they require no physical feedstock. However, despite steady market growth, these technologies still make up only a small fraction of total household energy supply. One of the main reasons for this is the initial investment required, coupled with uncertainty over return on investment. This is compounded by the huge range of available products and a lack of objective information relating to system performance. As a result, consumers are often confused and unable to make informed decisions. In addition, installation companies often experience difficulties when advising customers on the various options and their respective benefits. Hence, despite considerable technological advancements in terms of system performance and efficiency, there exists a significant knowledge and confidence barrier that restricts increased market acceptance. In order to address this problem, we propose to develop a system that can automatically provide accurate and objective information about the suitability of a renewable energy technology for a given user scenario. The system will be intuitive and easy to use employing a unique dynamic grading technology. This will enable consumers to make better informed decisions and will allow our membership to provide better service. This will help to significantly increase market penetration and revenues for our pan-European membership involved in the design, manufacture and installation of domestic renewable energy technologies.

Supercapacitors, especially hybrid supercapacitors, are a very promising technology for application in plug-in hybrids, electric cars or the smart grid, which presents a number of interesting advantages over batteries with regard to specific power and cycle life. However, a number of research challenges remain. The Energy Caps project aims at developing a sustainable and safe hybrid supercapacitor with high specific energy and maintained high specific power and cyclability. For this purpose, five partners from two SMEs, one large company and two universities, located in four different European countries, will mutually second personnel to exchange their complementary knowledge. The research programme will involve the development of new electrodes, a high performance polymer separator and an optimized electrolyte mixture. Subsequently, these components will be combined, first in a lab cell and then in a larger prototype. The future recyclability of the novel components will be assessed throughout the project and towards the end the environmental impact of manufacturing and recycling process will be assessed. The project will combine academic knowledge about the novel hybrid supercapacitor concept, modelling and the mechanistic understanding of supercapacitors with industrial expertise in the area of material sciences, prototyping and industrial application of supercapacitors and recycling. The project has a balanced mixture of secondments (21 researchers, 142 month) and recruitments (4 researchers, 96 month). The secondment schedule was set-up to match the work plan and the transfer of knowledge will be supported by workshops between the partners involved in the project. Collectively, the consortium has the appropriate combination of expertise and equipment to execute the project. The project will initiate a long-lasting collaboration between the partners and will result in a commercially exploitable supercapacitor concept.
