The range of the 7th Framework Programme’s (FP7) Science in Society (SiS) programme as well as the range of its stakeholders is extremely diverse. This demands that the SiS National Contact Points (NCPs) are able to orientate in the wide area of SiS topics and research areas as well as FP7 rules and regulations in order to be able to fulfil their job. The cooperation among NCPs in FP7 and the cooperation networks that they have established is one of the most important aspects in order for their scope to be successful. The general objective of EuroSiS 2.0 is to continue the work done within the EUROSIS project (2008-2010), to strengthen the SiS NCP network and through this improve the operation of each SiS NCP in order to provide more effective and better quality services to organisations in the EU and in the associated countries.

DATA SIM aims at providing an entirely new and highly detailed spatio-temporal microsimulation methodology for human mobility, grounded on massive amounts of big data of various types and from various sources, with the goal to forecast the nation-wide consequences of a massive switch to electric vehicles, given the intertwined nature of mobility and power distribution networks. While the increasing availability of big data about human activities provides radical new ways of understanding the social and ecological universe, it is our ambition in this project to complement this information with behaviourally rich data, pertaining to the purpose of human travels. In terms of interdependencies, our advanced integrated methodological environment allows for more realistic and consistent linkages across travel choices made by the individuals in the course of a day than conventional models, with the goal of simulating tens of millions of individual agents, each with their detailed prediction of every activity-travel schedule, enabling more detailed segmentations based on user profiles of the agents, different activity types, trip duration and driving ranges. Significant breakthroughs can be gained from the project, which lead to novel dimensions of use, along the milestones that were set forward in the European Industry Roadmap for the Electrification of Road Transport from today till 2020. Many scientists have already pointed out that the goal of social sciences is not simply to understand how people behave in large groups, but to understand what motivates individuals to behave the way they do. This fundamental insight, which can be gained from this project, is a step forward towards the solution of this important challenge,, and it can help us to better understand the dynamics of our society and, in the longer run, to have an impact on overall and wider societal well-being.

The project on ‘structural variation and adaptation of the stickleback genome’ is aiming to characterise structural variation (SV) such as deletions, insertions, duplications, translocations, and inversions within and between five geographically distinct lake-river population comparisons of the three-spined stickleback. Evaluating multiple parallel adaptations will infer the influence of SV on local adaptation and divergence in this prime study system for ecological speciation, adaptive radiation, and ecological genomics. Aim of this project is to develop a computational approach for the detection of SV from whole genome short read paired-end sequencing data. The computational approach will be further assessed in the laboratory. After building a comprehensive map of SV within and between stickleback populations, the role of SV for ecological speciation will be evaluated. Therefore molecular evolution and linkage pattern in the genomic regions affected by SV will be considered. Aim of the project is to contribute to the discussion about the adaptive role of SV of the genome.

My proposal is to investigate some new aspects of the geometry of complex manifolds, foliations by complex leaves and their deformations. Emphasis is put on the relations between these three themes. The basic objects of complex geometry are compact complex manifolds. However, only very special classes are well understood. And the only theory which applies to the general case is Kodaira-Spencer theory of deformations. To each structure of a compact complex manifold it associates a finite-dimensional space, called Kuranishi space, containing all the small deformations of this initial structure. Although it is a very classical theory, almost nothing is known about the geometry of this space. Last year, I discovered that it has a natural foliated structure and I want to study it more thoroughly. On the other hand, Kuranishi spaces exist for transversely holomorphic foliations, which form a generalization of complex structures. There is however another natural generalization, that of foliation by complex leaves. Now in this case there is no Kuranishi space (the finite-dimensionality fails). I have some precise ideas to construct (finite-dimensional) Kuranishi spaces in a generalized sense. Finally I also want to introduce a notion of geometric rigidity, which is better adapted to the case of a foliation than the classical notion of rigidity. As a researcher, I work for twelve years on the geometry and topology of compact complex manifolds. But to achieve these goals, I need to strengthen my training in deformation theory. So I plan to spend two years at CRM, Barcelona, under the guidance of Marcel Nicolau, an expert in deformations of complex manifolds and transversely holomorphic foliations. I could also benefit from the intense mathematical activity of the CRM, especially in complex analysis and geometry. Achieving these goals would open new lines of research and qualify me as a leading expert in the field. Last but not least, I could look for another position.

Natural Laminar Flow is one of the principal new wing technologies to be applied in the near future to reach the challenging fuel consumption and emission reduction objectives stipulated in ACARE’s Vision 2020. NLF airfoils are shaped in such a way to avoid laminar to turbulent flow transitions in cruise which creates increased viscous drag, hence larger fuel consumptions and more emissions. Krueger flaps are suitable as high lift devices for NLF, because they leave the upper wing surface clean when retracted. Furthermore, when fully deployed during take-off and landing, the main Krueger panels form a kind of deflector that protects the fixed leading edge from accumulation of insects or dirt and from surface erosion due to rain or hail during low-altitude flights. Such accumulations and erosions, resulting in wing surface discontinuities, could significantly increase friction drag by causing loss of laminar flow in the affected areas. In the frame of DEAMAK, ASCO Industries N.V., a Belgian company involved in the development of the high-lift devices on all recent major aircraft programs (A380, A400M, Boeing 787, A350XWB, Bombardier CSeries), will design and manufacture the Krueger flaps and the corresponding interface struts that will be mounted on the new NLF outer wing sections of the A340 Flight Test Demonstrator. This aircraft will be used within Cleansky’s SFWA-ITD to among others assess the leading edge insect-shielding efficiency of Krueger flaps during landing and take-off. The proposed technical work is divided into four work packages dealing with the design, the manufacturing, the handling and transport as well as the validation and verification of the Krueger flap and wing interface struts. The project will last 73 months in total. The budget is estimated to 759.840 €.

The original requirement covered by this DEAFCON proposal was for the detailed design of two low speed half models, with a fully pressure plotted low sweep and high sweep wing respectively Removable and variable Leading Edge, Trailing Edge and Wing Tip devices were to be included, and the main element of innovation and learning for ARA would have been the integration of some form of Active Flow Control technology, which had not yet been defined DEAFCON Also included would be relevant design changes to an unknown, but existing, half fuselage FALCON model to enable appropriate integration of either wing configurations together with their relevant AFC actuators ( recognising that these fuselage design modifications would need to be considered fully reversible ) However, prior to commencement of this programme, the scope and work content was changed quite considerably by the Topic Leader to comply with their final Specification document DGT-132940 Iss C Oct 2013 This document presented the specification of the design of a single large scale half-model for testing in a pressurized low speed wind tunnel. Integration of any Active Flow technology was thus dropped at this stage, and the parts to design within DEAFCON became therefore:- • A left-hand side modular wing with high aspect-ratio and low sweep • A set of Body fairings to fit with the fuselage • A left hand side cross-shaped HTP and its movable attachment fitting compatible with the former Vertical Tail • A simplified main landing gear and its cavity

The current proposal “SafePEM” follows the aerospace industrial trend to foster “More Electric Aircraft” in order to improve the control of energy and finally reducing the fuel consumption by reduction of weight and more effective use of resources. SafePEM will significantly improve currently existing Power System Control due to offering the provider of such system an increased flexibility of design using a deterministic approach for the Power Control System internal data communication system implementing an innovative “Power Control Manager”. This approach will implement a robust, reliable and scalable system architecture allowing the implementation in many aircraft platforms at minimised modifications required. Thus time for modifying the design will be saved resulting in cost reduction and finally offering an opportunity to reducing the price of the system. As a consequence supplying such novel system will improve competitiveness compared to competing systems. On the other end the new design approach will allow to handle today’s required high power density which is not possible satisfactory when relying on technologies and solutions available today. The architectural approach will allow managing several “Power Electronics Modules” in layer one (Power Electronics Layer). Multiple electronic loads can be driven and required currents are supplied according to demands. A dedicated second layer will be in charge of controlling all resources and providing the distribution of data to all participants of the network in a reliable manner. It will incorporate two bus systems ensuring safe data communication with appropriate supervision on the one hand and safe communication between the PEMs on the other hand.

The incidence of low temperature in greenhouse cultivation involves the reduction of crop yield and the use of heating in order to avoid such decrease. In Central/Northern Europe, high input of fossil energy is used to increase plant productivity, which significantly contributes to emission of greenhouse gases. In contrast, heating is only used for very extreme conditions in Southern Europe, which results in a huge “productivity gap” between both European regions. Therefore, the research objectives of this project are: (1) to increase our knowledge about the effect of low temperatures on crop growth and yield in function of the stress doses, and (2) to test the feasibility of a “stress indicator”, based on the technique of chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging (CFI), as tool on which to base temperature management in greenhouses. The achievement of these objectives will promote the optimization of greenhouse cultivation, through early detection of cold stress and ensuing response management, and will boost energy use efficiency. The proposed project will require a two-year mobility period at Wageningen University. Several experiments with bell pepper will be carried out in climate chambers (1st year), and a validation of the obtained results will be performed through experiments in a real greenhouse situation (2nd year). Plant response and recovery to/from different stress doses will be analyzed by CFI and biomass measurements. In the greenhouse experiments, real-time CFI measurements will be used to detect plant stress and correct greenhouse temperature before yield can be affected. The training objectives of the proposed project for the fellow are to extend her knowledge in the area of plant stress, to gain proficiency in the technique of CFI, to learn new strategies in greenhouse management and to improve other complementary research skills, thus providing a boost for her career development and independence.

HPEM technological research program proposes the integration of emerging permanent magnet motor and position sensor technologies in high power density, fault tolerant actuator designs which could be an integral part of a rotorcraft swashplate electromechanical actuation system with superior dynamic response and fault ride through capability. Innovative permanent magnet and insulating material technologies, involving particular Neodymium alloy permanent magnet materials with small substitution for iron by Cobalt enabling to substantially improve high temperature performance as well as specially enameled winding wires treated through vacuum pressure impregnation techniques, respectively, in conjunction with design optimization methodologies based on embedded permanent magnet topologies are going to be applied at the program operational level.. The HPEM project is divided in three Work Packages. WP1 is oriented to the better understanding of the specifications and the validation plan through motor and sensor preliminary design and pilot hardware manufacturing. WP2 is the project core development that covers critical design of motor and sensor modules resulting in the proposal of two alternative configurations and delivery of respective prototypes. Embedded permanent magnet and flux-switching topologies as well as photo-diode, photo-transistor and Hall effect sensor formulations are going to be evaluated on the basis of performance and reliability requirements. Finally, WP3 covers manufacturing and testing of the remaining twelve prototypes to be delivered. During this WP all specific test benches will be developed so that the technological readiness level expected will be certified. HPEM project success could allow safer aeronautic transports as well as size and weight reduction of generation equipment. Significant reduction in maintenance and overall environmental impacts is expected to be achieved too.
