The project will develop intelligent technologies to support learning and knowledge-building (LKB) activities in Intelligent Learning Extended Organisation (IntelLEO), a new paradigm representing a community that emerges as a temporal integration of two or more different business and educational communities and organizational cultures (industrial, research and educational). The objective is to explore how the responsiveness of the LKB environments in an IntelLEO, aiming to enhance motivation of learners, proactively encouraging them to take part in LKB activities, can be radically enhanced by advanced technology exploiting a synergy between services for - efficient management of collaborative LKB activities and access to and supply of shared content, and - harmonisation of individual and organisational objectives. The project will develop: • a new Implementation Framework on how to exploit this synergy, taking into account the best social constructivist and situated learning practices in collaborative LBK for an IntelLEO • an innovative ontological framework for context capturing which includes learners, context and collaboration models, serving to achieve the targeted synergy • generic and widely applicable synergetic services, fitting SOA principles, for managing collaborative LKB activities and contents within an IntelLEO, such as services for: o Management of Social Interactions, o Provision of learning resources, o Provision of the most appropriate LKB path for individuals/groups, o Scaffolding of the learning process of individuals in accordance with organisation objectives &amp; policy. The new services will be validated within three IntelLEOs each involving various configurations of business and educational organisations, made to share resources, skills and costs in supporting LKB activities. An analysis of socio-economic context regarding applicability/ usefulness of the approach proposed and services will be provided.

EuroNanoBio aims at defining the key features of the future EU capacity in nanobiotechnology and the roadmap to reach this goal. It will establish the features of the infrastructure, the role of the various stakeholders and the way to establish it. This Support Action is divided into three phases: 1) An analytical phase where the existing data, published or not, will be scrutinised and analysed to extract some success factors to be used for defining the EU infrastructure in nanobiotechnology. This analysis is conducted in four directions • existing top class infrastructures or clusters inside and outside Europe • modes of technology transfer from research to industry • multidisciplinary education and training • ancillary aspects of nanobiotechnology. 2) A building and consensus phase where many diverse stakeholders who play a role in the EU capacity in nanobiotechnology are invited to jointly defined and adopt the key features of the infrastructure, and the way to build it 3) A dissemination phase where the former results will be widely disseminated using Internet and a large dissemination event. The EuroNanoBio partners are highly experienced in EU integration in nanobiotechnology in general as well as in specific aspects studied in the CSA. They have unrivalled access to a wide panel of stakeholders in governments, industry, education, regulation, ethics. The consortium will act as a catalyst for these stakeholders to collect their contribution and make them build together the roadmap for establishing the EU capacity in nanobiotechnology.

Europe faces a growing economic and societal challenge due to its vast diversity of languages, and machine translation (MT) technology holds promise as a means to address this challenge. EuroMatrix Plus will - continue the rapid advance of MT technology, creating example systems for every official EU language, and providing other MT developers with our infrastructure for building statistical translation models, - continue and broaden the controlled systematic investigation of different approaches and techniques to accellerate the scientific evolution of novel methods, including both selection and crossfertilization. The aim is to to arrive at scientifically well understood novel combinations of methods that are provenly superior to the state of the art, - contribute to the growth and competitiveness of the European MT research scene and infrastructure through open evaluations and living community supported surveys of resources, tools, systems and their respective capabilities, - focus on bringing MT to the users, in addition to focusing on scientific advances. Because our statistical models are derived from example translations, we can build and exploit a synergistic relationship in which users suggest improvements to the system by post-editing its output, and the system improves itself by learning from user feedback. EuroMatrix Plus focuses on two types of users: professional translators and translation agencies working for private corporations, administrations, and other organisations, and lay users who create content on a volunteer basis by translating foreign materials into their own languages. We will investigate how these users can benefit from state of the art in MT, and conversely, how MT can benefit from user corrections, and create an openly accessible sample application that enables users to automatically translate news stories and web pages from any EU language into any other, and whose corrections will be exploited for improving MT technology.

This proposal defines a support action project that brings together the researchers from international biomedical text-mining groups to address the difficult issue of annotating large text corpora with a large set of semantic types. We propose a collaborative approach to this annotation task in the form of an open challenge to the biomedical text-mining community. The task is the annotation of named entities in a large biomedical corpus, for a variety of semantic categories. The project delivers as outcome a large, collaboratively annotated corpus, marked with the mentions of biomedical entities. The annotated corpus becomes a resource for the community, to be used as a reference for improving text-mining applications. The biomedical text-mining research community has a long tradition of organizing such challenges, as a way of evaluating techniques, sharing technical knowledge, and helping to improve the results from text-mining programs. However, such challenges have typically addressed relatively small corpora in a narrow sub-domain, in part because the evaluation of the results is extremely long and costly. As a result, the generated annotated corpora are too small and are only narrowly annotated to be useful in a variety of text-mining applications. In contrast, we propose to create a broadly-scoped and large annotated corpus by integrating the annotations from different named entity recognition systems. Metadata will also be added to the corpus. The participating systems have different application scopes and annotation strategies, and therefore complement each other. As a consequence, the annotated corpus reflects these different scopes and strategies. A secondary goal of this project is to define a standardized format for representing the annotations contributed by the participants and comparing them effectively. Currently the lack of such a format hinders progress in the evaluation of named entity recognition systems.

The goal of NoTube is to develop a service architecture, based on semantic technologies, for personalised creation, distribution and consumption of TV content in all its new forms. Nowadays, consumers can receive hundreds of digital TV channels. TV content can be rendered on different devices, including handhelds and computers. Through IPTV the TV and the Web worlds are getting intertwined. Companies are starting to supply new services, such as electronic program guides, which recommend broadcasts based on your viewing habits. However, such interactive services stay TV-centric and use Internet and digital technology only to enhance the entertainment in front of the tube. NoTube intends to put the TV viewer back in the driver&apos;s seat by developing services for (1) personalized content selection, (2) packaging of content with additional information (e.g. relevant Web info), and (3) social interaction in consumer communities. We build on information integration and representation techniques developed within the Semantic Web area, taking into account the context of time, space, task and mood. To realize this vision NoTube will deliver a service-oriented architecture with four corner stones: (1) novel deployment of existing semantic technologies in the combined TV-Internet environment; (2) extensions of existing user and context modeling techniques to meet the demands of the distributed world; (3) development of novel reasoning services for personalized content recommendation; and (4) integration with social interaction tools. The work in the project is steered by three visionary use cases, namely: (i) personalized semantic news, (ii) personalized TV guide with adaptive advertising, and (iii) Internet TV in the Social Web (for Olympic Games 2012). The use cases address different dimensions of personalized TV-content interaction, including individuals and communities of viewers as well as multi-lingual and multi-modal interaction.

Interactive Storytelling is a major endeavour to develop new media which could offer a radically new user experience, with a potential to revolutionise digital entertainment. European research in Interactive Storytelling has played a leading role in the development of the field, and this creates a unique opportunity to strengthen its position even further by structuring some of its best actors within a NoE. IRIS (Integrating Research in Interactive Storytelling) aims at creating a virtual centre of excellence that will be able to achieve breakthroughs in the understanding of Interactive Storytelling and the development of corresponding technologies. It is organised around four major objectives: To extend Interactive Storytelling technologies in terms of performance and scalability, so that they can support the production of actual Interactive Narratives To make the next generation of Interactive Storytelling technologies more accessible to authors and content creators of different media backgrounds (scriptwriters, storyboarders, game designers) To develop a more Integrated Approach to Interactive Storytelling Technologies, achieving a proper integration with cinematography To develop Methodologies to evaluate Interactive Storytelling systems as well as the media experience of Interactive Narrative The Joint Programme of Activities integrates complementary skills which are necessary to address the above objectives (e.g. integration with cinematography, authoring, evaluation, user interaction techniques). It benefits from the integration of extensive partners’ background, but also plans to revisit existing research programmes from the perspective of collaboration (e.g. revisiting Interactive Storytelling technologies from the perspective of authoring and cinematography).

In the field of robotics, there has recently been a tremendous progress in the development of autonomous robots that offer various services to their users. Typical services include support of elderly people, cleaning, transportation, and delivery tasks, exploration of unaccessible hazardous environments, or surveillance. Most of the systems developed so far, however, are restricted to indoor scenarios, non-urban outdoor environments, or road usage with cars. The goal of the EUROPA project is to bridge this gap and to develop the foundations for service robots designed to autonomously navigate in urban environments outdoors as well as in shopping malls and shops to provide various services to users including guidance, delivery, and transportation. EUROPA will develop and apply sophisticated probabilistic scene interpretation techniques to deal with the unpredictable and changing environments. Based on data gathered with its sensors, the robot will acquire a detailed model of the environment, detect and track moving objects in the environment, adapt its navigation behavior according to the current situation and communicate with its users in a natural way, even remotely. EUROPA is targeted at developing novel technologies that will open new perspectives for commercial applications of service robots in the future.

The recycling business is traditionally dominated by SMEs. In the last 2-3 years a general trend in the electronics recycling sector to bigger companies is very visible. Multinational, multisector companies are buying several smaller recyclers every year. This trend is caused by 2 factors: • Many countries transposed the WEEE- and Battery Directives in a way relying heavily on collective systems. • Also the big secondary raw material processors are more interested in few big contracts instead of a lot of small contracts as this brings down their administrative costs. Therefore it is close to impossible to sell materials with a high metal concentration for SMEs at the moment. Therefore the HydroWEEE project deals with the recovery of base and precious metals from WEEE including lamps and spent batteries by hydrometallurgical processes. The idea is to develop a mobile plant using hydrometallurgical processes to extract metals like Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Yttrium (Y), Indium (In), … in a high purity (above 95%). By making this plant mobile (in a container) several SMEs can benefit from the same plant at different times and therefore limit the necessary quantities of waste as well as investments. In addition this new HydroWEEE process will produce pure enough materials that they can be directly used by end-users for electroplating. Because of this 2 levels of intermediaries from today (bigger recyclers and secondary material processors) will be bypassed. This will make the SMEs much more competitive than today and reverse the general trend to bigger companies. The HydroWEEE consortium has 9 partners from 4 countries - 3 EU Member States (Austria, Romania, Italy) and a Western Balkan Country (Serbia). All in all it has been calculated that HydroWEEE generates a turnover in excess of 100 million € and about 150 interesting work places within the SMEs – approximately 100 times the total cost of the project or 130 times the EU-funding

The proposed DEMYBE project (filter aid-fine particles of the size of 50 μm average) has been conceived upon the needs of the reduction of mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin A (OTA), in everyday beverages (particularly beer and wine) and at the same time to substitute the Kieselghur filter aid. The aims of the proposed DEMYBE project are: to substitute the currently used carcinogenic Kieselghur filter system (currently used in 95 % of brewery worldwide) in regards to health and environmental issues that cause during the application/disposal of the filter aid in the brewery/vinification process and the removal of 80 % of OTA, from the end products. The new product will be made from natural vegetable fibres.
