Black holes are some of the most exotic astronomical objects in the universe, and are accordingly the focus of much speculation and study. By definition invisible, they are only detectable when interacting with their environment, either by bending surrounding light or gravitationally capturing enough matter to power other processes whose radiation we can detect. Depending on the spin of the black hole (BH), its mass-to-energy conversion efficiency can be over 50 times higher than that of nuclear fusion. The gravitational energy liberated via this accretion process powers many phenomena around BHs and significantly impacts the surrounding regions. Because many of these phenomena involve complicated geometries, high-energy electromagnetic fields and strong gravity, they are still not well understood. By observing and modeling the radiation originating from the more extreme regions of BHs and their associated structures in our Galaxy, the planned ITN network intends to reconstruct a more complete picture of the complex physics involved in the accretion process through observations from the radio band to the X-rays and through theoretical work. Training on these subjects will be provided through summer schools on multi-wavelength astronomical techniques and on black hole astrophysics and through dedicated PhD projects.

Reaching optimising control, management and flexibility of the future network infrastructures requires actions to retrieve a good understanding of network and application behaviour. In previous EU-funded FP6 projects like EVERGROW and LOBSTER, large efforts have been taken to successfully develop and deploy measurement infrastructures (e.g. ETOMIC, DIMES) to gain insight into the operational network, without being intrusive from the perspective of commercial ISPs. Meta-repositories like MOME were dedicated to keep an overview on available measurement data, tools, infrastructures and projects. The achieved advances are integrated within the MOMENT project towards a common and open, pan-European platform by confederating participants from various FP5, FP6 and other measurement-related projects. The main objective is to design and implement a mediator architecture offering a unified interface for measurement services, able to use all data and functionalities from the existing measurement infrastructures. Main innovation of the project is the use of a measurement-specific ontology, allowing semantic representation and retrieval of measurement and monitoring information, as well as providing the flexibility of a service oriented architecture for future Internet applications. To validate the benefits of the integrated approach, the project will develop and demonstrate a set of tools and applications presenting the added value of combining measurement data collected from different infrastructures. Due to the flexible design, the achievements of the project will be open to future network architectures, rather than limited to the current Internet protocols. By liaison with international activities like CAIDA, the project ensures to have a major impact in the contribution to standardisation bodies, as well as to the overall measurement community in the Internet.

The popularity of Internet and the consequent global availability of networked information sources and digital libraries has led to a strong demand for multilingual access and communication technologies. Such technologies should support the timely and cost-effective provision of knowledge-intensive services for all members of linguistically and culturally diverse communities. This is particularly true in the multilingual setting of Europe. However, despite recent research advances, there are still very few operational systems in existence, and these are limited to the most widely used languages. The challenge that must now be faced is how to best transfer the research results to the wider market place. The objective of the Treble-CLEF proposal is to build on and extend the results already achieved by the existing Cross Language Evaluation Forum. The aim is not only to support the development and consolidation of expertise in the multidisciplinary research area of multilingual information access but also to disseminate this knowhow to the application communities. The specific target would be the European digital library context. Treble-CLEF would thus: - support the annual CLEF system evaluation campaigns with tracks designed to meet the specific requirements of the user and application communities, and particular focus on user modeling, language-specific experimentation, and results presentation - launch a concerted action of technology transfer and dissemination of knowhow, tools, resources and best practice guidelines through the organisation of workshops, tutorials and training sessions - encourage community-building and collaboration around this topic by providing a forum for the discussion of results and making the scientific data, experiments and results produced during the course of an evaluation campaign publicly available.

The SEACOOP project addresses the development of SandT cooperation on ICT with Southeast Asia, a region of strategic interest for the European Union. Its two main objectives are to identify, promote, and support strategic cooperation opportunities, and to support bilateral and multilateral dialogues. The project also aims at developing awareness on SandT cooperation on ICT under FP7 in Southeast Asia, and at widely disseminating project perspectives and results in the European and Southeast Asian ICT communities. The SEACOOP activities build upon the achievements reached by the BASIC, ENGAGE, and GAPFILL FP6 SSAs, and will develop synergies with other programmes and initiatives similarly addressing EU-Southeast Asia cooperation on ICT. Project outputs will include: • The identification of, and support to 10 to 15 key opportunities of strategic cooperation, transformed, before the end of the project (18 months), into major cooperation initiatives between the two regions, • The organisation of a cooperation event in Europe and of awareness workshops in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos (or Brunei), • The development of a web-based portal devoted to EU-Southeast Asia cooperation on ICT, part of an extensive set of promotion and dissemination activities. The SEACOOP project is coordinated by Orionis, who has successfully coordinated the GAPFILL SSA. The partnership includes, on the Southeast Asian side, the national Agencies managing ICT research in the 7 most advanced countries, which, added to the fact that ASEAN has brought its support to the project, will ensure the largest participation of the Southeast Asian ICT community in project activities, and will provide a suited environment for the development of EU-Southeast Asia policy dialogues. The SEACOOP project is formally supported, on the European side, by leading organisations, including the main ETPs, which will ensure the highest involvement of, and the highest project impact on, the European ICT communit

We propose an Initial Training Network for advanced nanoscale semiconductor spintronics. This is a coordinated programme of technological, experimental and theoretical research, training and knowledge transfer, by a consortium of leading European academic and industrial research groups. Spintronics is becoming increasingly important as downscaling and power usage in microelectronics approaches fundamental limits. This ITN will provide a framework for structuring research and training efforts in this field and exploiting the new technology. The programme will move well beyond the worldwide state-of-the-art, through development of novel multifunctional nanospintronic devices, by transfer of device concepts to room temperature operation, and by exploration of the potential of low-dimensional systems. This coordinated wide-ranging and multidisciplinary programme is only achievable through a cross-European approach. The ITN will supply the required multidisciplinary and intersectorial training in materials development, device physics and technology and theory, which is crucial for ensuring a highly developed research infrastructure and a critical mass of qualified researchers in this key research area. Researcher mobility will be encouraged, with all appointed fellows spending periods at academic and industrial hosts. Industrial partners will be central to the training programme, ensuring that fellows have an understanding of the needs of end-users of the research. Transferable skills training will be supplied to meet wider employment market needs. The proposal is highly relevant to the ITN objectives, the Information Society Technologies and Nanotechnologies thematic areas of FP7, and ERA strategies to network centres of excellence, increase researcher mobility, and improve cohesion in research. The ITN will provide a body of highly skilled scientists, equipped with the expertise to ensure that European research continues to flourish in this vital area.

In the BRAINSTORM project, we aim to develop an integrated system enabling on-chip intracellular recordings from a relatively large cultured neuronal network combined with chemical sensing and intracellular delivery of biologically active molecules. To achieve tight coupling with the cell membrane and enable efficient recordings, micronail-type probes will be integrated with a CMOS readout circuitry. These micronails are structured to operate either as intracellular microelectrodes or as intracellular micro-syringes allowing either chemical injection or to produce pressure or suction that will be used in additional to other procedures to penetrate the cell membrane. With appropriate bio-functionalization, the micro-nails inserted intracellularly will also serve as sensors for phosphorylation/ dephosphorylation reactions within living cells. The main technologies and methods to be developed in the BRAINSTORM project include: • Biocompatible and CMOS compatible micronails and micro-syringes with integrated readout electronics; • Microfluidic system integrated with the CMOS-containing chip; • Procedures to insert both nail types through the plasma membrane, into the neuronal cytosole; • Surface chemistries allowing to achieve a Giga-Ohm (G) seal resistance between the disrupted plasma membrane and the nail; • High signal-to-noise ratio recordings of neuronal electrical activity with micronail probes; • On-chip chemical delivery of chemicals; • On-chip sensing of intracellular kinase activities.

The NSINK Initial Stage Network training network targets one of the most vital, interdisciplinary problems facing future Arctic environmental management: namely the enrichment of Arctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by reactive atmospheric nitrogen from low latitude emission centres. This problem will greatly exacerbate ecosystem response to climate change, and urgently requires holistic, sources to sinks type studies of nitrogen dynamics. Thus training in atmospheric sciences, snow physics, hydrology, biogeochemistry and aquatic/terrestrial ecology is necessary, bringing UK, Norwegian, Swedish, Austrian and German expertise (already operative in Svalbard) into a single interdisciplinary project at Ny Ålesund, the site of Europe’s most significant high Arctic environmental monitoring infrastructure. Further, in order to constrain recent change in the nitrogen accumulation in this environment, training in the interpretation of ice core and lake sediment archives will also be offered, and a reanalysis of instrumental observations collected over the last 15 years will be undertaken. NSINK will therefore prepare talented researchers for careers as independent scientists/practitioners across a range of environmental sciences (e.g. biogeochemistry, atmospheric sciences, hydrology) and related sectors either in academia or in industry. The scale of the NSINK ITN is significant (nine Early Stage Researchers, three Experienced Researchers, four training partners and 9 associated or industrial partners) because it addresses the demand for training in this area resulting from the urgent science problem and a major growth in public interest in the environmental sciences that is being experienced by universities across the entire EU.

Going forward to accident free traffic, evaluation and standardised testing methods of ICT-based safety systems are essential. The main focus of the proposed research project is to define objective evaluation and testing methods for ICT-based safety systems. Performance test results presented to the public will help to promote the use of ICT-based safety systems. The project is based on safety systems used in today’s vehicles and will investigate the future upcoming ICT-based systems. Aims are to identify evaluation and testing methods, especially for active safety systems, with respect to the user needs, the environment and economic aspects. The presence of standardised test and evaluation methods will allow the assessment of a vehicle’s overall safety performance with respect to the ICT-based safety systems. This possibility will increase the public awareness of the benefit that ICT-based safety systems have on road safety. Widespread awareness of ICT-based safety systems’ performance will lead to a higher degree of acceptance for such systems and thus to increased market penetration and ultimately to a reduction of road fatalities.

Identity Management is considered key to private, legal and business transactions as in the European eIDM2010. IdM frameworks are however currently confined to the web services domain. SWIFT goes beyond this by including user centricity and network operators as additional interdependent domains with IdM at the core. This new view of user centricity provides a novel perspective: Identity as central for legal, business and network development trends. To enable this vision, SWIFT aims to build a cross-layer identity framework with emphasis on networks and services using identity also as key enabler to convergence. For the user, it will provide multiple personae and identity-based privacy across layers and a data model for new and dynamic business. Cross-layer usability features will be included, such as ubiquitous connectivity, user-centred mobility and single sign-on based on vertical and horizontal federation principles. SWIFT will develop a standards aligned model for user data linked to identities or personae with the user in control of the information exchanged. It will separate management from resolution of identities at all layers, i.e. from the service to link, considering both privacy and “need-to-know” concerns. SWIFT’s user-centric Id approach addresses three views: 1) users have complete control over privacy and disclosed information dependent on the service accessed; 2) services can use a generic treatment of authentication, authorization, access control independent of the layer services managed by a unique identity; 3) commercial players can leverage new business solutions for operator, service provider or 3rd parties through its federation approach. As a STREP, SWIFT aims to primarily impact technology research and related standardization in the manufacturing and telecom operator domains. The consortium is balanced accordingly. The social and legal domain will be addressed by liaisons and cooperations.

New generations of networked applications based on the notion of software services that can be dynamically deployed, adjusted and composed will make it possible to create radically new types of software systems. In turn, this will require profound changes in the way in which software systems are designed, deployed and managed – exchanging existing, primarily top-down “design in isolation” engineering, to new approaches which are based on integrating new functionalities and behaviours into existing running systems of already active, distributed and interdependent processes. The ALIVE project is based around the central idea that many of the strategies used today to organise the vastly complex interdependencies found in human social, economic behaviour will be essential to structuring future service based software systems. More specifically the project aims to combine cutting edge Coordination and Organisation mechanisms (providing flexible, high-level means to model the structure of interactions between services in the environment) and Model Driven Design (providing for automated transformations from models into multiple target platforms) to create a framework for software and services engineering for “live” open systems of active services. The project will 1) develop an advanced framework for application development, deployment and management in service environments, 2) develop new engineering techniques and toolsm 3) develop a methodology for dynamic, "live" service design and maintenance, and 4) layer the framework directly on emerging architectures and toolkits for service oriented and web services systems. Results will be delivered in an open content and open source manner in order to foster take-up, reuse and to support ongoing research in the domain. The project also includes three challenging case studies from the domains of information services for citizens, mobile device applications and crisis management.
