The objective of the “Incubating Internet Innovation Hubs” (I3H) project is to contribute to the sustainability of FI PPP by creating a European network of Internet Innovation Hubs (IIH), regional or thematic clusters that bring together web entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, students, academia, industry, and public sector innovators to speed up the transformation of FI PPP results to services and applications addressing the needs of European citizens, companies, and society.Our starting point is the initial network of EIT ICT Labs hubs in Budapest, Eindhoven, Helsinki, Madrid, Paris and Trento coinciding with the Nodes of EIT ICT Labs, the Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) on information society of the European Institute of Innovations and Technology (EIT). The seed network will grow organically with a robust life-cycle incubation stage gate process for identifying candidate hubs and guiding them through tangible milestones towards full-fledged IIH’s with hands-on coaching, resources and support, including knowledge and best practice transfer. We scout the Internet innovation landscape inside and outside FI PPP to recognize at least 60 candidate IIH’s and provide incubation stage gate process for the selected hubs. By end of the project, our ambition is to have a network of 20 Internet Innovation Hubs emerge from the process.The second objective of the I3H project is to support the FI PPP initiative's sustainability and the emerging European Internet innovation community through technology and business roadmapping, providing foresight to the entire FI-PPP Phase 3 and guiding the identification of new stakeholders for I3H. Apart from the knowledge and best practices of the FI PPP community, the work will draw insight from a liaison with key industrial stakeholders in Europe as well as with a selected group of web entrepreneurs and SME’s. We will also study the developments in other major markets (USA, Japan, Canada, BRIC countries, emergent markets) linking with EIT ICT Labs’ own foresight.

A Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) aerofoil is considered to be one of the key technologies to reduce drag and improve the performance of an aircraft; it is also identified as a potential key technology for the next generation of aircraft. The ImpNLFFD project is a critical enabler that will, through mature design concept and stress justification, facilitate the manufacture of the starboard Upper Cover and Metallic Leading Edge of an A340-300 test aircraft and validate that the required level of aerodynamic surface quality can achieve Natural Laminar Flow. The ImpNLFFD project objectives surround the finalisation and maturity of engineering data to enable subsequent manufacture of an advanced composite starboard Upper Cover and Metallic Leading Edge for installation on the flight test aircraft wing. To support this objective a number of work packages are identified that progress the current status of engineering through to delivery of hardware, concession support, permit to fly, and support operations during the final wing assembly and flight test campaign.

The aim of the MiniBRAGG project is to develop, test and manufacture a miniaturized acquisition unit for Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) optical sensors to be remotely used for strain, pressure and temperature measurements in cabin and non-cabin areas. The development will be based up-on FiberSensing’s proprietary tunable laser technology (BraggMETER) that enables multi-channel parallel acquisition over broadband tunability (100nm). This enables large sensor count to be addressed in a single compact instrument. BraggMETER platform processing core is fully implemented in low-level electronics (microprocessors and FPGAs) that ensure high reliability, while reducing power consumption. The platform integrates an ultra-stable multi-line reference that ensures high accuracy over the full tuning range. Currently the BraggMETER platform relies in high speed analog to digital converters that restrict the maximum acquisition rate to 500S/s. Within the MiniBRAGG project the acquisition electronics will be redesigned using high-speed comparators to increase the acquisition rate to 2000S/s, while maintaining the spectral resolution (±2pm) and reducing the power consumption. The driving electronics of the semiconductor optical amplifier that provides gain in the tunable laser cavity will be redesigned to integrate three levels of overdriving protection to be complaint with ATEX. The envisaged instrument architecture integrates: the tunable laser module scanning 100nm at 2000S/s; the optoelectronic module that incorporates 8 independent photodetection blocks with digital gain control to ensure 20dB of dynamic range; and, the processing module with digitalization based on multi-level high speed comparators, fast accurate spectral peak detection processing based on FPGAs and microprocessor for sensor calibration and interface through Ethernet. All these features will be integrated into a compact equipment, that will be validated in-flight to achieve a TRL-6 at the end of the project.

The objectives of the project are: 1. To apply the powder Net Shape Hot Isostatic Pressing (NSHIP) manufacturing route to the fabrication of Astroloy casing for high speed turbine. 2. To optimise the material usage reducing material waste: the specific target is to design the Hot Isostatic Pressing manufacturing step so as to provide a semi-finished part very close to the final casing profile component (aiming at achieving 2 mm or lower overstock) thus reducing as much as possible the machining efforts; 3. To fine tune a post heat treatment to fully exploit the Astroloy potential thermal/mechanical resistance for casing application. Astroloy casing cannot be manufactured by traditional processing route (forging, ring rolling, massive machining) and with respect to the currently applied process to manufacture Waspaloy casing marked material and energy efficiency improvement can be achieved as well as clear environment benefits. According to a preliminary analysis of material, energy and emission potential savings achievable by applying NSHIP with respect to the traditional forging + machining route to fabricate high speed turbine casing it can be foreseen to have: • a ca. 82% raw material saving; • an energy saving of ca. 82%; • an emission reduction of ca. 81%. In terms of cost efficiency a reduction of 57% in raw materials acquisition costs.

The Indian Subcontinent occupies <3% of the total land area of the world; however, as much as 22% of the world’s human population lives here, in rough proportion to which the region accounts for ~19% (17 million tonnes of N annually) of the global synthetic N fertilizer consumption. Fossil fuel combustion is the other major source of new N introduced to the environment. The fate of the enormous N loading, which has increased by a factor of 50 over the past 4 decades, is largely unknown. Less than 5% of the anthropogenic N appears to reach the sea by river runoff; the rest presumably accumulates in the terrestrial aquatic systems where an unknown fraction may be removed as N2 or N2O through redox transformations, especially in anaerobic environments of the subsurface aquifers and hyperlimnions of stratified reservoirs and lakes. Given the serious health hazards of high nitrate levels in drinking water and the high greenhouse potential of N2O, both nitrate accumulation in natural waters and conversion of fixed N to N2O are of immense socio-economic significance. The proposed study will, for the first time, investigate N cycle processes in groundwaters and lakes/reservoirs in India. Three man-made reservoirs and one natural lake, and groundwater aquifers of three different types will be seasonally sampled for this purpose. The four major components of the project will be: (a) to study the spatial and temporal variations of various dissolved N species (organic N, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, N2O and N2) in relation to organic matter loading and ambient dissolved oxygen levels; (b) to determine rates of redox transformations (denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation) and assess their relative importance in N2 production; (c) to identify sources of N and understand mechanisms of its transformations through natural N and O isotope abundance measurements; and (d) to characterize through molecular analyses the microbial community involved in redox transformations.

Lately composite materials containing metal nanoparticules have found an increasing number of applications in different fields of science and technology. In particular glasses containing metallic nanoparticules are of great interest for photonics because of their unique linear and nonlinear optical properties, which are determined by surface plasma oscillations of the metal clusters. The surface plasmon resonance depends strongly on shape, distribution and concentration of the nanoparticules, as well as on the surrounding dielectric matrix. This offers the opportunity to manufacture very promising new nonlinear materials, nanodevices and optical elements by manipulation of the nanostructural properties of the composite medium. Recently, laser-based techniques leading to modifications of shape and size of the metal clusters have increasingly become of great interest and proved to provide a very powerful and flexible tool to control and optimize the linear and nonlinear optical properties of such materials. More generally, this technique allows the engineering of the optical properties of the material via gaining control over the spatial distribution of nanoparticules in the glass matrix. The possibility to 3D spatially structure the linear and non-linear properties of various materials leads thus to consider femtosecond laser as a fantastic tool. However, a deeper understanding of the light-matter interaction, with emphasis on multiphotons processes, is profoundly needed for the development of new optical devices based on nanoparticules mastering. This proposal is thus dedicated to 1/ to understand the processes of the formation of metallic nanostructures in glassy media and 2/ to manipulate, to master the nanocluster shape and mostly distribution within the dielectric matrix. This will allow structuring the non-linear properties in the dielectric matrix on demand.

The goal of this project is: • to develop a comprehensive description of the climatic and environmental changes in the Eastern Taimyr [72N-102E] for the warmest periods during the Holocene using tree ring width, latewood density, cell size, carbon and oxygen isotope data in wood and cellulose; • to improve our understanding of the physiological response of larch trees to environmental changes in the Eurasian north. We propose to investigate three periods, which are characterized by high temperatures during the Holocene: • the natural warm period BC 3700-3800, with an average temperature, which was three degrees higher than at present; • the Medieval Warm period AD 950-1150, with a similar rise in temperature compared to today; • the current period AD 1945-2006, which is characterized by the highest level of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to anthropogenic activities besides a temperature increase. The work will be conducted in three major fields: 1. Climatology – analyses of statistical relationships between climatic parameters (temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, and vapor pressure deficit) and carbon, oxygen isotope data during the current period. Comparison of isotope chronologies along the Subarctic latitudes from Yakutia to Sweden with Greenland ice core and pollen data. 2. Physiology - investigation of the physiological response of trees to environmental changes during the current and past periods based on a combined carbon and oxygen isotope fractionation model developed by Scheidegger et al. (2000). 3. Modeling – the new isotope and tree ring chronologies will be used to verify the ecophysiological model [Hemming et al. 2001; Vaganov et al. 2006] for the current period and to extend the model for the past to infer new environmental information (e.g. on water use efficiency).

The main purpose of this proposal is the theoretical investigation of salt adsorption process at the interface of water/hydrophobic substrates taking into account impurities, dissolved gases using thermodynamically consistent force fields for ions by molecular dynamics methods. Most hydrophobic polymer materials without any functional and reactive surface groups develops a substantial negative charge at the interface of water-hydrophobic substrate. Source of this excess charge is not determined yet while the effect is enormous for electrically driven flows, in the context of electrical energy conversion, and it lies at the heart of many electrochemical and electrokinetic processes. Despite intensive theoretical and experimental efforts during past decades, this remarkable effect is still far from complete understanding. Molecular dynamics studies of water/hydrophobic substrate interfaces using atomistic force fields are challenging and can provide important information about structure and dynamics of the environment and shed light of interface phenomena. The proposed research aims to provide novel insight into structure and dynamics of water/vapor, water/hydrophobic substrate interfaces and provide a strong base for an investigations of ion transport through biochannels, and help elucidate the mechanisms by which these biochannels function.
