The research literature on various dimensions of globalisation is enormous, yet this project constitutes the first major attempt to weave disparate empirical strands together within a shared conceptual framework, namely that of crises resulting from the acceleration and intensification of global processes. Three major crises of globalisation are to be explored and analysed. In the realm of environmental issues/climate change, the quest for transnational legal arrangements ensuring sustainability is counteracted by continued growth in the factors leading to environmental crises. In the financial and economic realm, the vulnerability of the global system became apparent during the recent financial crisis, which continues to send ripples through economies worldwide. In the area of culture contact and cultural sustainability, tensions and frictions with strong elements of identity politics intensify owing to increased interaction and resource competition, at the same time as calls for cosmopolitan values and universalisation of human rights constitute attempts to overcome conflicts. A key term is sustainability in the sense of reproductive capability, and the main research question is to what extent contemporary world society is sustainable in relation to the three crises and their internal dialectics. The project will entail in-depth ethnographic studies, global surveys (drawing chiefly on extant research literature) and comparison. It will result in two Ph D dissertations, academic articles (written by postdoctoral fellows) and a major monograph, as well as an edited volume, academic articles and a book for a general audience, all written by the PI. This interdisciplinary and comparative project, based mainly on anthropological approaches, aims to build theory and analyse empirical processes shedding light on, and creating a fuller understanding of, the transitions characterising the present world. The intellectual and societal relevance is potentially huge.

This project intends to study intercultural connections in contemporary Europe, engaging both native and ‘new’ Europeans. These connections are woven through the faculties of embodied subjects – memory, visuality and mobility – and concern the movement of people, ideas and images across the borders of European nation-states. These faculties are connected with that of affect, an increasingly important concept in history and the social sciences. Memory will be understood not only as oral or direct memory, but also as cultural memory, embodied in various cultural products. Our study aims to understand new forms of European identity, as these develop in an increasingly diasporic world. Europe today is not only a key site of immigration, after having been for centuries an area of emigration, but also a crucial point of arrival in a global network designed by mobile human beings. Three parts will make up the project. The first will engage with bodies, their gendered dimension, performative capacities and connection to place. It will explore the ways certain bodies are ‘emplaced’ as ‘European’, while others are marked as alien, and contrast these discourses with the counter-narratives by visual artists. The second part will extend further the reflection on the role of the visual arts in challenging an emergent ‘Fortress Europe’ but also in re-imagining the memory of European colonialism. The work of some key artists will be shown to students in Italy and the Netherlands, both recent migrants and ‘natives’, creating an ‘induced reception’. The final part of the project will look at alternative imaginations of Europe, investigating the oral memories and ‘mental maps’ created by two migrant communities in Europe: from Peru and from the Horn of Africa. Examining the heterogeneous micro-productions of mobility – whether ‘real’ or imagined/envisioned – will thus yield important lessons for the historical understanding of inclusion and exclusion in today’s Europe.

This project will analyse historical change in the Mediterranean over the long run. It challenges totalising narratives aiming to “europeanise” Mediterranean history as having led somewhat naturally to European domination in the 19th and 20th centuries. Instead of the one-sided view of institutional and territorial integration as a consequence of the mere diffusion of European institutional models and legal codifications linked to a supposed lex mercatoria rediviva or law merchant in force in all countries and at all times, the specific approach of this project consists in combining concrete local, regional and thematic approaches with a focus on trade as the most widely accepted interaction even in times of sharp conflict, and on commercial and maritime litigation as an indicator for the intensity and changing modes of intercultural exchange. In an actor-centred perspective, we will take into account a variety of individual and institutional actors involved in trade. Their interaction was based on a combination of shared customs, local usages and legal traditions. Addressing competing instances and drawing on different legal resources, they contributed to a reconfiguration of the legal and institutional landscape. These issues will be investigated through the comparative analysis of commercial litigation and conciliation concerning trade in Mediterranean port cities, with a focus on disputes involving litigants who were not subjects of the local authorities, or whose legal status was linked to their religious identity. The encounters of Muslim, Jewish, Armenian, Protestant merchants and sailors with different legal customs and judicial practices appear as the social sites of legal and cultural creativity. Through the prism of commercial litigation, we will thus achieve a more precise and deeper understanding of the practices of intercultural trade, in a context profoundly shaped by legal pluralism and multiple and overlapping spaces of jurisdiction.

SITEX aims at identifying the efficient means that should be developed through the establisment of a sustainable expertise function network within a European framework with the view to: - allowing mutual understanding between regulatory bodies, TSOs and waste management organisations (WMOs) on (i) the regulatory expectations at decision holdpoints and (ii) how the scientific and technical elements carried out by the WMOs comply with these expectations. In that perspective, the needs in clarification of existing regulatory guidance or in developing new guidance will be addressed. Exchanges with IGD-TP on that issues is favoured. In complement, role of expertise function and the needs for improving it will be discussed; - in coordination with or in complement to WMO's research program, defining TSO's R&D program that would ensure independent capabilities development for reviewing the Safety Case and assessing the scientific arguments provided by WMOs. TSO's R&D program and priorities will be adressed by favouring close interaction with IGD-TP and seeking for joined research activities with the WMOs in order to foster common understanding of technical key points for safety and avoiding undue duplication; - ensuring competence building of experts in charge of technical review and transfer of knowledge on waste safety and radiation protection; the needs in guidance development for harmonising the technical review activity and in dedicated training and tutoring for spreading the expertise culture and practices will be addressed; - sharing, where needed, expertise approach with various stakeholders, in a manner more integrated than when only communication or dissemination are envisaged. Compilation of past actions and learning of ways of implication of stakeholders in the process of technical review will be discussed.

A large role in the efficiency of the overall engine is played by the fan and bypass system. Lightweight, effective acoustic liners will be required to meet both the weight and noise emissions requirements. This presents an opportunity to develop the state of the art in intake liner acoustic and mechanical design and to test this liner in the engine environment. This proposal is to partake in the acoustic optimization, mechanical design and manufacture of a novel aeroengine intake liner that aims to reduce the cost, weight, durability and improve acoustic attenuation performance. Previous EU funded projects that Bombardier Aerospace Belfast (BAB) has been involved is such as FANPAC and SILENCE(R) have identified the potential for superior acoustic performance with acoustic treatments having a Non Linearity Factor (NLF) in the range 2.0 to 2.5. Considering this as a design objective, BAB has been developing zero splice micro-perforate composite acoustic liner facing sheets. This technology provides significant flexibility and benefits for acoustic liner design. These benefits include; NLF covering the complete target range, and more (2.0 to 5.0), uniform or varying impedance in any direction without hard-wall splices, single or double degree of freedom acoustic treatments and zero-splice intake acoustic liner designs. The objective of this proposal is to elevate micro-perforate acoustic liner technology from TRL4 to TRL6. This will involve the manufacture of a full scale, zero-splice micro-perforate composite engine intake acoustic liner. This process will address challenges such as tooling design, component manipulation for laser drilling and the application of the technology to large diameter nacelles. [DoW Rev.1: Micro-perforate has been replaced with 1.2mm diameter mechanically drilled holes due to the results of the research showing that laser drilling was not currently feasible] Complimentary studies will also be performed to optimise the design through testing to evaluate the degradation of composite material properties due to UV degradation and experiments to determine rain erosion properties of micro-perforate acoustic treatments.

The existence of large amounts of public available data is a growing fact increasing year by year. Public administrations, private organisations and many other stakeholders are letting the use and consultation of this data freely by all kinds of audiences. On the other hand, the design of wind farms is a complex task that includes the selection of the best location for each wind turbine. There is a number of data which is critical to determine the best location of a wind farm such as the wind power of a region, local environment characteristics, potential interference on communication systems, visual impact or the existence of archaeological sites. The data, related to the above-mentioned issues, come from different sources with different approaches interests, formats and nature. This is usually a handicap for SMEs that have to consider all these collateral but crucial aspects. The main objective of this project will be to create new products and services for SMEs based on the combination and transformation of a large and heterogeneous datasets. These datasets will be converted, manipulated and standardised into a common repository or data pool. The data pool will be linked then to an optimisation engine which results will be the base of a novel software tool used for wind farms siting optimisation. The project will also create methodologies to maintain and increase the data pool and API to-be-licensed access to sell the standardised data to third parties. The results will be directly exploitable by SMEs, who will be able to sell an innovative and non-existent tool based on a GIS (Geographic Information System) interface, provide services to future data providers to standardise their datasets for the tool, and maintain and exploit a standard API for third parties. Engineering service companies will shorten their productive times counting with a centralised source of information for their projects and a software tool for determining the optimal wind turbines location.

The INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC, establishes an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe, requiring large amounts of environmental digital content to be made accessible across Europe, resulting in a data pool that is expected to be of huge value for a myriad of value-added applications. The INSPIRE Implementing Rules Legal Acts outlines these data pools, but more work is needed. Making data available according to the INSPIRE standards in 30 countries using 22 languages requires specific skill sets that few public authorities have. The management of this content represents an opportunity for SMEs active in this sector. SMEs can enable countries to fulfil the Directive, creating new market opportunities with increased potential for innovation and new jobs. Due to the legal requirements, the INSPIRE implementation becomes the entry-point for crucial business opportunities, opening new, or reinforcing existing perspectives (including Linked Open Data, Sensor Web, cloud computing and other e-environment application domains). SmeSpire’s purpose is to encourage and enable the participation of SMEs in the mechanisms of harmonising and making large scale environmental content available. smeSpire will: 1. assess market potential for SMEs in relation to INSPIRE as an integral component of the Digital Agenda for Europe, describing obstacles for SMEs to enter this market in terms of knowledge gaps 2. collate, translate and exploit a Best Practice Catalogue in the management of environmental content 3. Develop a multilingual package to train environmental data analysts in the maintenance and exploitation of environmental data commons, and 4. create a network capable of transferring result-driven knowledge throughout Europe with research centres, environmental agencies, progressive technology providers and digital content providers. smeSpire offers the Commission an early integration of results for relevant programmes (ISA) directly into the knowledge base of geo-ICT SMEs

Robustness of distributed micron-sized roughness-element for transition control (RODTRAC)

Transition control in three-dimensional flows by means of distributed Micron-Sized Roughness-elements (MSR) has been under focus during the last decade. The successful experiments of Prof. Saric and his research group have created lot of attentions and interest. In the reported work by Saric et al. always a significant positive effect of MSR on delay of transition has been observed. Similar attempts to control transition in three-dimensional flows by means of MSR have not been successful in the same degree. It has argued that the differences in the outcome of the experiments may be due to small differences in the level of noise (acoustic and free-stream turbulence) in the wind tunnels used in the experiments. To our knowledge there are no investigations that really address the sensitivity and robustness of the MSR for transition control in three-dimensional flows. The objective of the proposed activities is to, numerically and experimentally address these issues. The carefully performed numerical simulations will allow us to characterize the effects of acoustic and vortical perturbations separately or simultaneously. A controlled variation of level of ‘noise’ will make it possible to understand the limitations of the MSR approach. The direct numerical simulations will be accompanied with the non-linear stability calculations using the Parabolised Stability Equations (PSE). These calculations are much faster and cheaper in terms of computational costs. This will make it possible to do a wide variation of parameters. Carefully performed experimental investigations in a low-disturbance environment will also generate valuable information and data. Experiments with controlled acoustic perturbations and turbulence level will complete the direct numerical simulations and will be used to validate the numerical results.
