A new class of enterprise systems, proactive enterprises, that will be continuously aware of that what "might happen" in the relevant business context and optimize their behavior to achieve that what "should be the best action", are emerging nowadays. ProaSense's core goal in this context is to pave the way for an efficient transmission from Sensing into Proactive enterprises. By being one of early adopters in this shift from a reactive to the proactive computing, we expect that the results from this project will have a considerable impact on developing new class of systems that will be in essence of a world where it is possible to prevent problems or capitalize on opportunities before they even occur. Beside scientific and technical excellence, several other mechanisms will be applied for ensuring such an impact. This will be achieved through the adoption of the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) loop of situational awareness and development of corresponding technologies supporting a scalable, distributed architecture for the management and processing of big-data that will eventually enable continuous monitoring and the need for service adaptation and propose corresponding changes in an (semi-) automatic way. Key innovations include novel approaches for scalable storage and access to sensed data; development of smart sensing services, services for anticipation management, approaches for probabilistic stream processing and goal-driven Complex Event Processing. The project will validate the ProaSense approach in two key areas: proactive manufacturing in the area of production of lighting equipment, and proactive monitoring services within the oil and gas sector. A consortium of 2 large industry partners, 1 SME and 5 research organizations from 6 European countries provides the necessary technological and scientific competencies and assures the exploitation of the developed technology.

IRRESISTIBLE In the project IRRISITIBLE partners work together to make young people more aware about Responsible Research and Innovation issues. Universities and science centres will cooperate in the project using the expertise they have in linking formal land informal learning. For a long term effect the project focusses on teacher training. Each partner will form a Community of Learners in which teachers work together with formal education experts and informal education experts. The topics they will work on are derived from cutting edge research taking place at the partners’ university. Researchers and people from industry will complement the Community of Learners. The Community of Learners will develop material to be used both in the classroom as well as in the science centres. During the first part content knowledge about the research will be introduced using the well established IBSE methodology. In the second part students will discuss and work on Responsible Research and Innovation issues regarding the research they have studied. Each partner will develop one module to be used in the classroom During the module students will be developing exhibits about the RRI issues that they have studied. These exhibits will be presented in the science centres.The best exhibits from each partner will be brought together during the yearly conferences of the project. By using new techniques like digital fabrication (ie. 3D printing) the exchange of exhibits will be easy between partners. In the second round of the project the teachers from the first Community of Learners will work in a new Community with 4 to 5 new teachers. They will help these teachers introduce the developed modules in their own classroom. This way the number of teachers involved grows. After receiving feedback from the first two rounds the 10 modules will be published and disseminated using www.scientix.eu and through workshops at local and (inter)national conferences

Modern viticulture and oenology were born in the last century responding to the need to innovate in traditional technologies. However, current economic, ecological and social changes require new strategies for wine production that take an integrated view of the entire wine production chain to ensure sustainability. Current management systems of vineyards and fermentations are indeed not economically or environmentally sustainable. The present proposal will approach this topic from both an environmental, focusing on the theme of biodiversity and its protection, and from an economic/social point of view. Optimization will promote the use of yeasts to reduce pests in pre/post-harvesting and to produce low-alcoholic and/or sulphite wines. In particular, the identification of fermentative yeasts isolated from ancient (Italy, Georgia, and Slovenia) and new (Sweden, Canada, and South Africa) vine-growing areas will allow the selection of species/strains that could be useful to evaluate both the possible interaction between genomes and phenotypes and the interplay of wine-related organisms in the oenological environment. Finally, the network aims to produce non-GMO yeasts for the participative selection of strains by the wineries. The consortium research units possess complementary competencies and are all working with success in wine research; partners have consolidated expertise in chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, physiology, genetics, bioinformatics, and taxonomy. The level of quality of the involved institutions and the appropriate staff exchange scheme (early and experienced researches) will allow an efficient transfer of knowledge during three years and for long-term collaborations. The expected impact of the consortium will be to contribute to the wine research field and to transfer its know-how to wine-makers.

Advances in digital pathology are generating huge volumes of whole slide and tissue microarray images which are providing new insights into the causes of some of today’s most devastating diseases. They also present tremendous opportunities for developing and evaluating new and more effective treatments that may revolutionize the care of patients with cancers and other diseases. The challenge is to exploit the new and emerging digital pathology technologies effectively in order to process and model all the heterogeneous tissue-derived data. This requires joint research projects and collaborative programmes between academia and industry. Thus, biomedical scientists will be equipped with broad knowledge and tools of modern imaging and data processing as well as analysis technologies, whereas engineers with have an understanding of the complex disease processes and the clinical needs. This will help developing efficient and innovative products to fulfil the needs of digital pathology. The AIDPATH project addresses this challenge through a focused research, including research training aiming to knowledge sharing and career development in this emerging multidisciplinary field. AIDPATH will research and develop: a) state of the art medical image display technology for digital pathology, b) novel image analysis solutions and knowledge discovery tools for future pathology diagnosis and research and c) state of the art solutions for biomarker evaluation and quantification. The first application will be breast cancer, though the applicability of the implemented methods and tools to other major diseases will be analysed.

The “Scalable management Of LArge Scale cloud computing environments using enhanced software-defined networking technologies (SOLAS)” IAPP will initiate a long term research partnership between three academic research organisations (TSSG, KTH and ETH Zürich) and two commercial sector organisations (EISI and Amadeus SAS). Consortium partners have complementary expertise and long term interests in the scientific and technology domains underpinning the data centre IT systems that realise cloud computing environments. The proposed programme of inter-sectoral secondments and targeted recruitment will, on the one hand, provide academic researchers with in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies offered by vendors like EISI and of how these are applied by operators, like Amadeus SAS, of large scale data centres like Amadeus SAS, whilst, on the other hand, providing industry researchers and engineers with knowledge of how to design, implement and deploy distributed algorithms for scalable management of data centre environments. Working in close cooperation, the consortium partners will make significant contributions to the state-of-the-art in the increasingly important area of resource management for cloud computing. Specifically, they will develop important novel enhancements to the nascent Software-Defined Networking technology paradigm and will demonstrate how data centre platforms based on this technology can be managed in a more flexible and efficient manner and can provide cloud-hosted applications with much improved analytics and data management techniques. In performing and evaluating this research programme, they will train a cohort of academic and industrial researchers that can continue to make significant contributions beyond the lifetime of SOLAS.

In this project we propose the development and investigation of a new class of composite nanomaterials for specific energy-related applications. In fact, in most cutting edge applications related to energy harnessing, harvesting and storage, nanomaterials are playing mayor role in enhancing and optimizing device performances, while maintaining affordable production costs for their effective exploitation. Production of nanomaterials by design allows possibility of fine tuning the morphological and structural properties of complex structures, which result in new and/or modified functionalities at the nanoscale and at the macro scale, as a consequence. Critical role in determining such new properties is played by the interfaces among different nanomaterials, which regulate most of the physical and chemical characteristics of the new materials, like electronic band structure, optical properties, electron transport properties, etc. As a few examples, Lithium ion intercalation in Li-ion batteries, electron transport in excitonic solar cells, and charge injection phenomena in photoelectrochemical systems are mostly regulated by the status of the interface at the nanoscale of suitably prepared nanomaterials addressing specific tasks like, for instance, regulating physical and/or chemical sorption, intercalation, and electrochemical reactions, inhibiting charge recombination through charge screening during electron transport, fastening exciton dissociation and charge injection from visible light absorbers (being either organic dyes and metal-organic dyes or inorganic quantum dots). For this reason accurate and complete characterization of hetero-interfaces is a major issue for the development of advanced materials for energy applications. The Consortium is composed of highly qualified Research and Academic centers involved in the development and characterization of advanced nanomaterials.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are fatal diseases characterized by selective degeneration of motor neurons without any effective treatment. Non-neuronal cells like astrocytes play a key role in the pathogenesis of ALS and SMA. Understanding the mechanisms of cell death caused by non-neuronal cells is a major research target and it has been proposed that transplantation of non-neuronal cells can represent a new therapeutic strategy for these disorders. The proposed NO-MND project addresses scientific issues related to “non autonomous cell death” in motor neuron disorders, by strengthening research partnerships through staff exchanges and networking activities between 2 European research organizations from Italy, Greece and 1 organization from the USA. The program is focused on: 1) development of in vitro disease models to investigate molecular interactions between non-neuronal cells and motor neurons using cell reprogramming technology; 2) investigation of potential therapeutic efficacy of non-neuronal cells transplantation in motor neuron disease models. The project is based on a 4 year coordinated joint program of exchange of researchers. The three groups have a long standing experience in motor neuron disease field, in cellular and in vivo models, non cell autonomous diseases mechanism and cell replacement therapy. Their ongoing research is supported by multiple grants. Four topics have been identified as most relevant for all partners involved in the joint program: Astrocytes reprogrammed from fibroblasts of ALS (1) and SMA (2) patients in a cellular model to study the pathogeneses of these diseases and their use in therapeutic approaches for ALS (3) and SMA (4) using in vivo models. The IRSES scheme provides a unique opportunity to integrate past collaboration activities into a coherent program addressing an issue of high priority for public health agendas of the EU and USA.

The main objective of the TEAP project (A Traceability and Early warning system for supply chain of Agricultural Products: Complementarities between EU and China”) is obtaining a better mutual understanding of the agricultural product quality and safety in both the European Union and China, and deep in the knowledge of the technologies that assure these final objectives. The program centers in four areas: 1- Good Agricultural Practices and Quality Standards in application; 2- Alert programs in the production and disease warning models; 3- HACCP software in the logistics; 4- Traceability systems for the supply chain of agricultural products “seed-to-plate”. First, we wish to understand the specific characteristics of the four working areas in both sides (EU and China), analyzing the different “on the field” working protocols and technologies used and developed by the partners. A point of special interest is sharing knowledge about the specific/local pathogens. Secondly, we wish to evaluate the applicability of the different approaches and technologies in both areas, analyzing the required changes in order to adapt them to the specific conditions. A key point is assuring the accomplishment of the normative and regulations in both areas. Third, we shall study how to improve actual technologies and methods jointly, this would be the origin of next common research projects. In this project, we focus in putting in common actual developments, technologies, working schema and analyzing their compatibility (based on GLOBALGAP), preparing the way for future common research projects. The objectives will be achieved via staff exchange between the different partners and thematic workshops (linked with the four working areas), distributed equally between the EU and China. Finally, we wish to improve the actual relations between the partners of both sides, fixing areas for long time collaboration.
