The COOL DH project will innovate, demonstrate, evaluate and disseminate technological solutions needed to exploit and utilise sources of very low-grade "waste" heat for heating of energy efficient buildings via Low Temperature District Heating (LTDH) and show how the District Heating (DH) systems can be more resource efficient and more energy efficient. The demonstration covers both new developments and stepwise transition of existing areas with district heating and energy retrofitting of buildings. The COOL DH consortium consists of the utilities and municipalities of the two cities Lund (SE) and Høje-Taastrup (DK) and leading DH energy specialists as well as leading industrial manufacturers. COOL DH will: - Innovate, design and build cooling and heat recovery process systems, enabling heat recovery to a local low- temperature district heating grid. They will mainly be driven by renewables. Design work will start in 2017 and heat recovery will start in 2019. - Design and build a low-temperature district heating grid with non-conventional pipe materials and testing of new innovative pipe components that will become new products introduced as a result of COOL DH. - Innovate and design suitable innovative heating systems and controls inside buildings that combine LTDH with distributed integration of local produced renewable energy on the buildings. Erection of new buildings in Lund will start in 2018 and will continue throughout the time of this project, while LTDH in Høje-Taastrup mainly will be for existing buildings being refurbished including modification of the heating system. - Develop viable business models and new pricing systems, that ensures a good (low) return temperature and provide the building companies with maximum flexibility regarding the choice of heating systems. - Demonstrate a full system with all needed components suitable for ultra-low DH temperatures (40 oC) incl. demonstration of systems for heating of DHW without risk of legionella.

WaterInnEU’s primary vision is to create a marketplace to enhance the exploitation of EU funded ICT models, tools, protocols and policy briefs related to water and to establish suitable conditions for new market opportunities based on these offerings. WaterInnEU will build upon existing knowledge bases and platforms developed in previous projects but will provide new concepts, connections, and components that are essential for a marketplace to work. The primary goals can be detailed in five major objectives: a) Gather the outcomes of previous European funded projects, and contribute to their dissemination and exploitation to be used as an instrument for supporting the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). b) Assess the level of standardization and interoperability of these outcomes as a mechanism to integrate ICT-based tools, and incorporate open data platforms and generate a palette of interchangeable components that are able to use the water data emerging from the data sharing processes and data models stimulated by initiatives such as the INSPIRE directive. c) Create the marketplace as a service: a forum formed by water research projects representatives, stakeholders in the water domain, and companies (in particular SMEs), who are capable of moving current products into the market and offer them to, for example, river basin managers, at different levels. The user segment will mainly benefit from the capability of the water partnerships (e.g. the Global Water Partnership), in bringing together a wide variety of water sector stakeholders and practitioners such as decision makers, public and private users, local, regional and international entities, multidisciplinary stakeholders. d) Build an open virtual marketplace that includes the Water Knowledge Portal of projects and research (WISE-RTD), a user feedback facility and a success stories portfolio, additionally to the current tools and policies lists.

The discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) marked the beginning of a new era for particle physics. For the first time, we may have an experimentally tested and theoretically coherent picture of fundamental interactions, valid up to very high energies. A thorough exploration of the Higgs sector, to ascertain whether or not the new particle behaves as predicted by the Standard Model is now paramount. Such an investigation is extremely challenging, and it requires absolute control over many complex Higgs signal and background processes. The goal of hipQCD is to develop innovative techniques for highest precision theoretical predictions at colliders, and to apply them for a wide range of high impact Higgs phenomenological studies at the LHC. hipQCD addresses the major Higgs production and decay channels. Its main objectives are 1. to provide realistic predictions at ultimate accuracy for the main Higgs production and decay channels, by developing cutting-edge fully differential predictions at the third order in QCD perturbation theory for Higgs production in gluon and vector boson fusion and for Higgs decay to b quarks; 2. to allow for precise and reliable Higgs characterization studies at very high energy scales, by developing novel techniques to tackle multi-loop amplitudes in extreme kinematics configurations; 3. to significantly improve our description of Higgs production in association with other Standard Model particles, by performing groundbreaking investigations of key 2 → 3 reactions at higher orders in perturbation theory. hipQCD involves different areas of particle theory, ranging from multi-loop amplitude computations to the study of soft/collinear structures in QFT to comprehensive Higgs LHC phenomenology. Besides their crucial impact on Higgs physics, its results could also be applied to a broader range of phenomenological studies and will be essential to fully profit from existing and future collider data.

Understanding the soot formation processes, the wide variety of soot structures and their optical properties plays a highly important role in reducing the amount of soot emissions from combustion, monitoring soot aerosols in the atmosphere and estimating their climate impacts. Their nucleation mechanisms and the soot nuclei properties, at the transition between molecules and nanoparticles, remain poorly understood and these are extremely hot topics in current researches. This ambitious project is aimed to shed the light on the soot nucleation processes and the soot nuclei characteristics via to the development and the combination of several state-of-the-art techniques, which are suitable to both molecules and particles. The outcomes will permit to fill the gaps in the understanding of the still mysterious nanoparticles formation in incomplete combustion. These techniques will be in-situ Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, soot particle aerosol mass spectrometry, laser-induced fluorescence and laser-induced incandescence. The soot formation processes, from the soot molecular precursors to the mature soot nanoparticles, will be studied in the condensed phase (ex situ) after sampling and, in the frame of this project, an intense effort will be performed for their extensive study in situ, in the gas phase. The first and main target is to unveil soot nuclei properties and the phase transition in the inception zone, which are crucial for improving current models of soot nucleation. The second target is to progress decisively on the knowledge of the variety of optical and structural properties of soot, which are of high importance for combustion diagnostic in combustion reactors and for atmospheric science particularly because they are good proxies for primary black carbon aerosols. This proposal involves both training and transfer of knowledge and new techniques between the candidate and the host organization.

This project is the first major study of the renowned Japanese political theorist Masao Maruyama (1914–1996) from a distinctly comparative perspective. An interdisciplinary project located at the intersection of Political Theory, Global Intellectual History, and Japanese and East Asian Studies, it presents a novel reinterpretation of Maruyama as a theorist of political failure, drawing comparisons between him and a host of other thinkers, including Hannah Arendt, Raymond Aron, Christopher Browning, Yukichi Fukuzawa, Louis Hartz, Hisao Otstuka, Judith Shklar and Takaaki Yoshimoto. In so doing, it simultaneously builds on and contributes to the recent debate over the nature, scope and methodology of Comparative Political Theory (CPT). The project will be hosted by the Department of Philosophy and the History of Ideas at Aarhus University (AU), where I will also be affiliated with the Department of Global Studies and the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, and collaborate with other on-going projects such as the Horizon 2020 project on 'European Colonial Heritage Modalities in Colonial Cities'. My supervisor and I will meet fortnightly, co-direct a new Research Unit on Global and Comparative Political Thought, and coordinate a number of academic events pertinent to my project. The research findings will be disseminated through essay publications and oral presentations, and will ultimately culminate in a major monograph, which will be the first English-language book on Maruyama written in Europe. I will also develop as a teacher of political theory as well as a researcher, enrolling in AU's Teacher Training Programme, obtaining the University Teaching Qualification, and gaining teaching experiences. Making highly original contributions to the current pan-European debate over the globalization of Political Theory as an academic discipline, the successful completion of this project will add a new dimension to my work and significantly enhance my future career prospect.

GEECCO aims to establish tailor-made Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) in 4 European RPOs and to implement the gender dimension in 2 RFOs (funding schemes, programmes and review processes). All participating RPOs are located in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field, where gender equality is still a serious problem and whose innovations are increasingly important in the knowledge-based economies. It is thus a question of excellence, competitiveness and justice to achieve gender equity within STEM-institutions, including policy and decision making bodies. Concerning the gender dimension in research programmes RFOs are the key to substantial changes and thus a crucial part of the aspired transformation. GEECCO will pursue the following objectives in order to enhance systemic institutional change towards gender equality in the STEM-field: (i) Setting up change framework and a tailor-made GEP for each participating RPO; (ii) Implementing gender criteria in the activities of RFOs; (iii) Setting up a self-reflective learning environment in and between all RPOs und RFOs to participate from existing experiences and match them with their specific needs and circumstances. Facilitators will build up appropriate communication structures and processes within the RPOs and RFOs. They will enable the RPOs and RFOs to help themselves in the longer term dealing with internal resistances against gender equality. (iv) Evaluate GEP implementation within the participating RPOs and RFOs with a quantitative evaluation using monitoring indicators and a qualitative monitoring to enhance and fine-tune implemented actions over the course of the project. GEECCO will develop the “GEECCO Experience: Dos and Don’ts while Degenderizing the STEM Field”, a guideline for RPOs and RFOs in the STEM field how to promote gender equality in the STEM field and intends to participate in standardization processes at EU level to measure “gender balance performance” of RPOs and RFOs.

We propose an interdisciplinary collaboration network involving leading groups in Astrophysics (Astrophysics Group in Crete, Geneva Observatory, University of Cambridge, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Caltech, and Nortwestern University), and Statistics (Imperial College, University of Cambridge, Simon Fraser University). The goal of this project is to share expertise between the different fields and geographical areas in order to tackle key questions in observational Astrophysics, related to the nature of dark energy and dark matter, the populations of accreting binary stars in galaxies and their evolution, the morphological and activity classification of galaxies, and the identification and characterization of fast evolving, or transient, sources. To address each of these questions we will use state-of-the-art observations and theoretical models, and we will develop novel, principled tools for statistical analysis in the domains of source classification, structure detection, and fitting. The methods developed under this program will have lasting value and applications beyond the field of Astrophysics.
