Today Biophotonics is an emerging multidisciplinary research area, embracing all light-based technologies applied to the life sciences and medicine. Enhancing diagnosis, therapy and follow-up care, Biophotonics drives the trend towards personalized medicine and plays a crucial role in limiting health-care costs and appropriately addressing the accelerating challenges associated with population aging and the consequent increase in age-related diseases. Its economic and socio-political importance is reflected in the enormous annual growth rates of industries in this field. As a Network of Excellence, PHOTONICS4LIFE aims to provide a coherent framework for research in the strongly fragmented field of Biophotonics in Europe. One of the challenging tasks of PHOTONICS4LIFE is therefore to map and to overview the research and technological developments across these various subdisciplines with their manifold but not sufficiently explored interdependences. PHOTONICS4LIFE targets to bridge the gaps between the different research communities ranging from Physics and Engineering via Chemistry and Physical Chemistry to Biology and Medicine for the analysis of cell processes, for non- and minimally-invasive diagnosis and therapy and for point-of-care diagnostics. PHOTONICS4LIFE aims to link the expertise of research institutes towards the SME’s and large companies in order to foster Biophotonics research and to strengthen the economical competitiveness of Europe in the global Biophotonics market. PHOTONICS4LIFE is composed of partners standing on the forefront of Biophotonics research and covering together the broadness of fields including the related ethical issues. The partners will work towards a durable integration, provide a critical mass that will act as a nucleus for integrated fundamental and applied Biophotonics research across Europe and reach out to the international scene. With its objectives, PHOTONICS4LIFE is aimed directly at improving the quality of life.

User-Centric paradigm for Seamless Mobility in Future Internet (PERIMETER)

Framework: FP7 — Cooperation
Programme: Information and Communication Technologies
Destination: Pervasive and Trustworthy network and service infrastructures
Action type: Collaborative project

PERIMETER’s main objective is to establish a new paradigm of user-centricity for advanced networking. In contrast to network-centric approaches, user-centric strategies could achieve true seamless mobility. Putting the user at the centre rather than the operator enables the user to control his or her identity, preferences and credentials, and so seamless mobility is streamlined, enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” in multiple-access multiple-operator networks of the Future Internet. For that, PERIMETER will develop and implement protocols designed to cope with increased scale, complexity, mobility and requirements for privacy, security, resilience and transparency of the Future Internet. These include appropriate mechanisms for network selection based on Quality of Experience; innovative implementation of “Distributed A3M” protocols for Fast Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting based on privacy-preserving digital identity models. All these mechanisms will be designed to be independent from the underlying networking technology and service provider, so that fast, inter-technology handovers will be possible. PERIMETER will also develop and implement middleware that support generic Quality of Experience models, signalling and content adaptation, and exemplary extension applications and services for user-centric seamless mobility. The paradigms of user-centric seamless mobility, middleware components and its integrated applications and services will be tested in two large-scale interconnected testbeds on real users, in three cycles of increasingly complex scenarios. The results will be used for assessment of user centricity. The realization of user-centric paradigm will revolutionise mobile communications. It will impact seamless mobility, issues of security and privacy, standards and future research, and it will maintain Europe’s leading position in the race to define and develop the network and service infrastructures of the Future Internet.

Tremor is the most common movement disorder and it is strongly increasing in incidence and prevalence with ageing. More than 65% of the population with upper limb tremor presents serious difficulties in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Tremor is not life-threatening, but it can be responsible for functional disability and social inconvenience. It is typically managed by means of drugs, surgery (thalamotomy), and deep brain stimulation, but treatments are not effective in approximately 25% of patients. The main objective of the project is to validate, technically, functionally and clinically, the concept of mechanically suppressing tremor through selective Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) based on a (Brain-to-Computer Interaction) BCI-driven detection of involuntary (tremor) motor activity: - The system will detect and monitor involuntary motor activity (tremor) through a multimodal BCI. The proposed BCI will combine CNS (Electroencephalography, EEG) and PNS (Electromyography, EMG) data with biomechanical data (Inertial Measurement Units, IMUs) in a sensor fusion approach. It will model and track tremor and voluntary motion. - It will also include a multi-channel array FES system for selective stimulation of muscles for tremor suppression while reducing the influence on voluntary motion. - For a potential commercial exploitation the embodiment must fit potential user expectations in terms of cosmetics, functionality and aesthetics. TREMOR proposes a multimodal BCI in which the main goal is identifying, characterizing and tracking involuntary motor bioelectrical activity as a command to trigger a biomechanical suppression of tremor.

Analytical tools that provide a synthesis of ecological data are increasingly needed to design and maintain sustainable agroecosystems increasingly disrupted by global change in the form of agro-technical inputs, invasive species, and climate change. This is particularly relevant to the Mediterranean Basin, a climate change hot-spot already threatened by local environmental changes including desertification. The project will provide important tools for summarizing, managing, and analyzing ecological data in agricultural systems to address global change effects using grape and olive as model systems. The project will integrate weather driven physiologically based Ecosystem Modelling (EM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to derive a dynamic understanding of complex agricultural systems in the face of global change including climate warming. Multivariate analyses will be used to summarize the main effect of model predictions in a space and time independent way to provide a solid but flexible basis for managing Mediterranean grape and olive systems in a changing global environment. The integrated EM/GIS system may be viewed as a library of the current knowledge about agroecosystems that can be extended to other systems, updated with new knowledge and used to help guide multidisciplinary research on local and regional scales. The need for extensive weather datasets to drive the models requires that the EM/GIS technology be linked with remote sensing (RS) to enhance spatial resolution of the approach and increase its real-world applications. This combined innovative EM/GIS/RS tool will provide European governmental agencies with the scientific basis for developing policy required to adjust to global change including climate warming.

The PARADISO project aims at identifying strategic research directions on network and service infrastructures in the hypothesis of a disruptive paradigm concerning global societal developments. This possible paradigm shift, which more and more analysts are evoking worldwide, is based on the vision that, in order to avoid major worldwide crises, all countries (developed, emerging, and developing ones) will need to agree, sooner or later, on an alternative way forward and make their societal development models converge. The EU is undoubtedly the world power the best placed to proactively promote this new concept of progress, based on revised social, environmental and economic objectives: a true sustainable development, a more sustainable economic growth, more equally shared resources, eventually the well-being of peoples around the world. Which will be the ICT applications and services needed to support these new objectives? More precisely, which network and service infrastructures will have to be developed? The PARADISO project will investigate this disruptive paradigm and identify the ICT research areas to be explored in this perspective. The project construction is pragmatic, and aims at achieving results in the short term (project duration of 12 months). The paradigm will be explored (and the innovative research identified) through a study based to a large extent on the outputs of two events that the project will organise: a workshop and an open international conference. Important dissemination activities are planned to widely disseminate the initiative, and to contribute increasing its impact. The PARADISO project will be run by two organisations offering complementary expertise and experience: Sigma and Club of Rome. Privileged links are ensured with the ETPs and the FP6-FP7 projects addressing Challenge 1. Moreover, a number of leading organisations, worldwide, are formally supporting the project and will be involved in planned activities.

The overall goal of OLED100.eu is to develop all the necessary technologies forming the basis for efficient OLED applications for the general lighting industry in Europe. The European Council has agreed to cut at least 20% in CO2 emission by 2020. Recent studies conducted by the JRC of the EC show a huge potential for saving energy by better energy efficiency. Still, some citizens are not aware that light bulbs are highly inefficient and those who know do not buy energy saving lamps because they are dissatisfied with the long light output stabilisation time or the bulbs’ shape, size, and colour. Organic light-emitting diodes are promising candidates to substitute conventional light sources. They provide potential for power-efficient large area light sources with revolutionary properties like thin, flat, transparent, color-tunable, and flexible. This grade of flexibility in terms of design and application make them highly appealing for consumers. For general lighting, OLEDs have to compete with existing and upcoming lighting solutions achieving power efficacies of up to 100 lm/W (fluorescent tubes) and operational lifetimes of up to 100.000 h (inorganic LEDs). In addition, OLEDs have to make use of their revolutionary form factor allowing flat light sources covering square meters. This translates to the five main objectives: -High power efficacy (100 lm/W) -Long lifetime (100.000 h) -Large area (100x100 cm2) -Low-cost (100 €/m2) -System integration / standardization / application OLED100.eu has assembled a consortium with outstanding experts from leading industry and academic groups. The participation of lamp manufacturers like Philips and Osram ensures a rapid transfer of any result into real products. OLED100.eu will strengthen the leading position of the European Lighting Industry and create long-term manufacturing jobs. Finally, the IP generated in new process and product domains will protect these advances from Asian and US competition.

The proposed project NESTER will focus on the identification of collaboration priorities between Russia and Europe in the field of networked embedded and control systems and the set-up of such collaborations. The project will base its analysis on industrial vertical sectors needs such as manufacturing and process plants, distributed energy production, energy distribution, airports or seaports etc. A preliminary analysis will identify the four priority sectors for cooperation. Based on the selection results, 4 “cooperation hubs” will be created through the set-up of 4+4 contact points for promotion of cooperation opportunities, both in Europe and Russia. These contact points will become the main project “root servers” among industrial sectors and will be ‘project network animators’ while also providing their expertise in the establishment of longer term recommendations. Developing common ontology, the NESTER project will screen the Russian and European competences in the field of Networked Embedded and Control Systems and map the collaboration opportunities by the cross-comparison with industrial demands. The building of a EU-RU network opened to scientists, researchers, academics, industrials, experts, and policy makers will support a constructive dialogue between Russia and European Union and will incite new ideas, concepts and technologies that will maximize knowledge in the field of Networked Embedded and Control Systems. NESTER will organise two events in Europe and in Russia in order to allow experts to promote their activities, to increase the visibility of the project’s results, and to select longer-term cooperation priorities. Taking full advantage of current trends in research cooperation thinking, NESTER is the impetus for future European international cooperation. NESTER is thus a flexible response to cooperation policy requirements and a great opportunity to build cooperation between Russian and European research driven by the industrial needs.
