In the post-Cold War world is witnessing the emergence of new forms of intra-state conflicts accompanied by a weakening of the nation-state’s traditional means of dealing with these. There is a visible need for substantial revision in conventional approaches and strategies aimed at transforming such conflicts. Conflict resolution agendas have in the last two decades for the most part been shaped by the political objective of bringing political and economic liberalization in the name of promoting of human rights, rule of law and democracy. However, these strategies often fail to take into consideration the complex social and cultural contexts of the local level. There is a gap in knowledge about the impact that governance agendas have on local conflict dynamics, especially in the cases where identity mobilisation is a prominent factor in the conflict. This project will analyse the premises and operation of governance initiatives in conflict transformation processes through a combination of fieldwork, qualitative analysis and theory development. It will carry out case studies encompassing recent governance practices in Bihar, Bosnia, Cyprus, Georgia, North East India and Kashmir. The project will be conducted in collaboration between Indian and European research teams. The project will review and critique current approaches to conflict resolution in an attempt to revise and improve both the theoretical and operational sides of conflict resolution and peace building. It will facilitate a reciprocal learning process between appropriate parties of the European Union and Indian actors and policy makers in order to enhance the perspectives and methods of both. The project will result in a variety of outputs, including a report series addressed to both EU and Indian policy‐makers, a variety of local level consultations, two large international conferences, a series of scholarly articles and working papers for the research community, and a scholarly book. A high-profile web forum will be developed to enhance communication between researchers, policy‐makers, practitioners and the wider public.

The NANOCHANNELS partners have created a programme of campaigns and events, designed to engage a wide range of stakeholder groups in an open debate of ELSA issues raised by developments in nanotechnology; a vital step to build a public consensus in nanotechnology issues. The project partners are all experienced professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including major European newspapers, leading educationalists and polling specialists. Their combined expertise has enabled an well targeted, effective programme to be prepared. The coordinator and two other partners are leading the successful FP7 NANOYOU project, which aims to inform and engage European youth in NT issues. This experience has been the starting point for the NANOCHANNELS project. The campaign and events programme designed by the partners will use a range of media tools selected to reach a wide range of different stakeholder groups. Traditional media, including press and radio, and youth-oriented, web-based tools will be combined with live events to engage the lay public, scientists, NGOs, educators and other stakeholders. A series of debates will take place in schools throughout the EU, and a high-profile round table will be held. A unique feature of the programme will be the inclusion of school students in producing much of the media content. They will be mentored by professional journalists who will produce the balance of the material to ensure suitability for all stakeholders. Throughout the project, a series of surveys and polls will take place. Changes in opinion that take place after the campaign will be recorded. This data will be compiled and used to assess public attitudes, and determine the emerging public consensus. At the end of the project, a report will be issued to the Commission which will provide recommendations for: • creating a process to facilitate better governance of NT issues • a future education policy • EU action plan for nano technology and action plans

Six quarks and six leptons of different kinds, referred to as flavours, form the modern periodic table of the fundamental building blocks of matter. The Standard Model of particle physics successfully describes these elementary particles and the forces between them. A deeper understanding of the flavour structure of quarks and leptons, of their masses and couplings, is however still missing. Decisive new experiments are about to start in particle physics (LHC, high-intensity flavour facilities). They will test existing theoretical concepts and inspire new ideas. This should allow us to make substantial steps forwards in the construction of the fundamental Theory of Flavour, which is the main goal of this project. Such a theory should allow us to address the following fundamental questions: what is the underlying dynamics differentiating quarks and leptons of different flavour? Is this dynamics related to a new symmetry? How can this new dynamics be tested at low and high energies? These questions are of utmost importance in the context of our search for a new, more fundamental, theory of elementary interactions. They are also key ingredients to understand the strucutre of our Universe. Reaching this goal requires substantial efforts in model building, precision calculations, and phenomenological studies. These different lines of research will be joined in a novel way by the collaboration of the principal investigator with four younger team members. All team members have made, mostly independently, important and often pioneering contributions to the different aspects of this project. The combination of their different expertise in a joint effort is a unique feature of the present proposal.

The aim of the project is to build and promote a team of excellence in the mathematical theory of water flows, with emphasis on nonlinear aspects. Our aim is to advance the state-of-the-art of water flows with vorticity. Flows within a fixed fluid domain as well as free surface flows will be considered and we strive to provide an accurate description of the entire flow; for example, the flow beneath a water wave and not just a description of the water wave profile. Problems of this type are currently of great interest, for example in the context of wave-current interactions and for a better understanding of tsunami waves. In addition to methods from the theory of partial differential equations to investigate the governing equations for water waves, the use of simplified models with a rich structure (e.g. integrable systems arising in the shallow water regime) will identify and highlight qualitative features. Numerical simulation in conjunction with experimental feedback and the gathering of field data will be of great support. Provision is made for consultation and collaboration with research groups in engineering and physics. Due to the interest of the general public in tsunamis, one of the objectives is to have a positive impact on the perception of science by society and on the raising of scientific interest of the younger generation through public lectures and contacts with high-schools.

VIB is a life science centre of excellence in Flanders (Belgium) established in 1996. We have gained valuable experience in selecting, training and employing young researchers, amongst others thanks to our International Ph.D. Program. Only 5 years after the start of this program, VIB’s student population has grown from 275 Belgian students into a dynamic community of nearly 400 students, representing 38 nationalities. The COFUND support will allow VIB to establish a postdoctoral program with ambitions transcending the goals of the current Ph.D. program. Besides the structuring effect resulting from the Ph.D. Program, the COFUND program is designed to further boost the introduction of ‘–omics’ approaches (genomics, proteomics, interactomics, bioinformatics, systems biology …) in the various research groups of VIB. Moreover, the program will provide a platform for interdisciplinary approaches, intensified training opportunities and personalized career coaching . COFUND researchers will become member of one or even two VIB groups for a period of three years. Their postdoctoral project will be designed in close collaboration with the group leader(s) of their choice, with a special focus on further integrating ‘–omics’ approaches in the current research of the group. The new postdocs will be embedded in the VIB community, with access to all centrally organized state-of-the-art technology platforms, training & support activities and institutional information channels. During their stay at VIB, their group leader(s) and VIB’s HR manager will coach them to design their personalized future career path. At VIB, COFUND researchers will do frontline research, enabling them to build an excellent publication record and curriculum in an environment infected by the spirit of excellence in science, technology, and technology transfer. They can build on VIB’s extensive international and industrial network to become full members of the European Research Area and beyond.

The physics of systems out of equilibrium represents a fascinating chapter of science, with many unsolved problems and unexplored issues. Quantum gases are particularly well suited to investigate non-equilibrium phenomena, because the key parameters of the problem (scattering length, trapping conditions, etc.) can be varied in a well controlled manner. They also offer unique opportunities to perform experimental measurements with high precision. This project aims to theoretically explore novel dynamic and transport properties of quantum gases at both finite and zero temperature, with special emphasis on the effects of quantum statistics, superfluidity and the role of interactions. The major goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of several fundamental issues: the universal properties exhibited by dilute quantum gases; the role of viscosity in non-uniform configurations; the applicability of quantum Monte Carlo techniques to explore the dynamics and transport properties of Bose and Fermi gases; the concept of superfluidity in systems far from equilibrium; the motion of impurities embedded in quantum baths, their interaction and the consequences on the dynamic behaviour; the collective excitations exhibited by novel quantum phases like binary mixtures of quantum gases and dipolar atomic and molecular gases; the effects of disorder; the condensed matter analogues of gravitational physics; the study of self-trapping and Josephson oscillations in superfluid Bose and Fermi gases. An important motivation of the project is to identify questions of broad interest which might be relevant also beyond the realm of quantum gases, as well as to develop advanced theoretical approaches to challenging problems of statistical mechanics and many-body physics.

Liquid-vapor phase transitions and boiling are omnipresent in science and technology, but, as far as basic understanding of the hydrodynamics, these phenomena remain "terra incognita''. The objective of the proposed work is to achieve a fundamental understanding of the fluid dynamics and heat transfer of the liquid-vapor phase transition - in particular of boiling - both on a micro- and on a macro-scale, through experiments under well-defined and controlled conditions, accompanied by theoretical and numerical modeling. Up to now "boiling'' has been nearly exclusively an engineering subject. We want to change this and make it a physics subject as we are convinced that boiling involves very interesting and practically relevant physics still in need of understanding. On the micro-scale the planned experiments include nucleation studies of individual and interacting vapor bubbles on superheated, geometrically and chemically micro- and nano-structured surfaces. In the bulk of the flow, nucleation will be achieved through laser heating, through local pressure gradients, and through acoustically triggered vaporization of metastable perfluorcarbon nanodroplets in a superheated liquid. The vapor bubbles will be monitored with ultra-high-speed digital imaging, micro particle velocimetry, infrared thermography, and heat flux measurements. On the theoretical side we will use molecular dynamics simulations and the level-set method. On the macro-scale the focus is on closed boiling turbulent flows, namely Rayleigh-Benard and Taylor-Couette flow. We will measure how the vapor bubble formation affects global quantities such as the heat flux and the angular momentum flux and thus the drag, and local flow properties such as the vapor bubble concentration. The numerical simulations, with one generic code for both geometries, will be based on discrete particle models.

The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to develop new mathematical and statistical tools, probabilistic approaches, and inversion and optimal design methods to address emerging modalities in medical imaging, nondestructive testing, and environmental inverse problems. It merges the complementary expertise of the investigators in order to make a breakthrough in the field of mathematical imaging and optimal design by solving the most challenging problems posed by new imaging modalities. The PI and Co-PI are leading experts in their respective fields (applied analysis and probability) and their researches have very strong interdisciplinary nature. The goal of this project is to synergize asymptotic imaging, stochastic modelling, and analysis of both deterministic and stochastic wave propagation phenomena. We want to throw a bridge across the deterministic and stochastic aspects and tools of mathematical imaging. This requires a deep understanding of the different scales in the physical problem, an accurate modelling of the noise sources, and fine mathematical analysis of complex phenomena. The emphasis of this project will be put on deriving for each of the challenging imaging problems that we will consider, the best possible imaging functionals in the sense of stability and resolution. For optimal design problems, we will evaluate the effect of uncertainties on the geometrical or physical parameters and design accurate optimal design methodologies. In this project, we will build an exceptional interdisciplinary research and an innovative approach to training in applied mathematics. We will train a new generation of applied mathematicians who will master both the probabilistic and analytical tools to best meet the challenges of emerging technologies.

For many years, CERN has operated a trans-national Fellowship programme, offering scientists and engineers challenging opportunities in particle physics research, and in related fields of physics and technology. The COFUND action offers CERN a timely opportunity to enhance the mobility element of this programme, which is open to nationals of all countries. This opportunity comes at a time when the startup of the Large Hadron Collider makes CERN one of the most exciting places to work for the global physics and technology community. Mobility will be enhanced through the opportunity to spend up to one third of the Fellowship in external institutions, including industrial laboratories. The employment conditions will be improved by offering three-year appointments rather than the standard two-year terms of CERN Fellows. These improvements, enabled by the COFUND action, will further increase the competitiveness of CERN’s Fellowship Programme. In particular, they are expected to trigger a strong reintegration effect on European researchers presently based in the US. Applicants will propose their own research projects. Selection will be based on the scientific potential of the proposal, and on the demonstrated excellence of the candidate. Working on frontier research and technology projects and profiting from the unique facilities available at CERN, the co-funded Fellows will deepen their knowledge in their own field and acquire international visibility and reputation. They will broaden their skills using the numerous training opportunities and through their exposure to an interdisciplinary and multi-national environment. Inter-sectorial skills will be fostered through CERN’s industrial collaborations and technology transfer projects. Fellows will spend at least two thirds of their Fellowship at CERN. This provision is justified by the size of the Laboratory, the diversity of the research and training opportunities, and by the uniqueness of CERN’s facilities.
