In an era of global flux, emerging powers and growing interconnectedness, transatlantic relations appear to have lost their bearings. As the international system fragments into different constellations of state and non-state powers across different policy domains, the US and the EU can no longer claim exclusive leadership in global governance. Not only the ability, but also the willingness of the US and the EU to exercise leadership together can no longer be taken for granted. Political, economic, and social elites on both shores of the Atlantic express different views on whether the US and the EU should be bound together, freelance, or seek alternative partnerships in a confusing multipolar world. Traditional paradigms to understand the transatlantic relationship are thus wanting. A new approach is needed to pinpoint the direction transatlantic relations are taking. TRANSWORLD provides such an approach. By combining an inter-disciplinary analysis of transatlantic relations, including desk research, in-depth interviews, an elite survey and a sophisticated Delphi exercise to elaborate solid policy proposals, TRANSWORLD would: a) ascertain, differentiating among four policy domains (economic, security, environment, and human rights/democracy), whether transatlantic relations are drifting apart, adapting along an ad hoc cooperation-based pattern, or evolving into a different but resilient special partnership; b) assess the role of a re-defined transatlantic relationship in the global governance architecture; c) provide tested policy recommendations on how the US and the EU could best cooperate to enhance the viability, effectiveness, and accountability of governance structures. In so doing, TRANSWORLD, which features a thirteen-partner transatlantic consortium of attested academic, policy, dissemination and management excellence, would contribute to an inter-disciplinary transatlantic research area, with in-built connections to policy-making.

Heegaard Floer theory. In this project (in collaboration with P. Ozsváth and Z. Szabó) we plan to extend our earlier results computing various versions of Heegaard Floer homologies purely combinatorially. We also plan to find combinatorial definitions of these invariants (as graded groups). Such results will potentially lead to a combinatorial description of 4-dimensional Heegaard Floer (mixed) invariants, conjecturally equivalent to Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth 4-manifolds. In particular, we hope to find a combinatorial proof of Donaldson’s diagonalizability theorem, and find relations between the Heegaard Floer and the fundamental groups of a 3-manifold. Contact topology. Using Heegaard Floer theory and contact surgery, a systematic study of existence of tight contact structures on 3-manifolds is planned. Similar techniques also apply in studying Legendrian and transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. In particular, the verification of the existence of tight structures on 3-manifolds given by surgery on a knot (with high enough framing) in the 3-sphere is proposed. Using the Legendrian invariant of knots, Legendrian and transverse simplicity can be conveniently studied. The ideas detailed in this part are planned to be carried out partly in collaboration with Paolo Lisca, Vera Vértesi and Hansjörg Geiges. Exotic 4-manifolds. Extending our previous results, we plan to investigate the existence of exotic smooth structures on 4-manifolds with small Euler characteristics, such as the complex projective plane CP2, its blow-up CP2#CP2-bar, the product of two complex projective lines CP1×CP1 and ultimately the 4-dimensional sphere S4. We plan to investigate the effect of the Gluck transformation. Possible extensions of the rational blow down procedure (successful in producing exotic structures) will be also studied. We plan collaborations with Zoltán Szabó, Daniel Nash and Mohan Bhupal in these questions.

The elderly have specific needs for clothing and other textile products, for personal hygiene or medical reasons. Improvements in these products will significantly increase their quality of life and improve the effectiveness of medical and social care services. The optimum way to achieve significant advances is through a concerted and coordinated effort by innovators, manufacturers and end-users to address the multiple concerns related to product and/or process development, including: translation of often subjective assessments into quantitative measures of quality, availability of new technologies, and the feasibility of incorporating new technologies in the manufacturing chain. The aim of the “TAGS” consortium is to bring together the elderly, social and medical care institutions, research institutions, technology transfer institutions and manufacturers to identify: specific requirements of the elderly and care institutions; latest developments in materials science and technology that will help meet these requirements; and strategies to incorporate developments in the manufacturing chain. The goal is to improve or innovate products and/or processes to meet the specific clothing and textile needs of a growing sector of the European population.

Using state-of-the-art microsystems simulation, design and micro-engineering, the NMCEL project will result in a highly integrated and modular and low cost platform that is a high throughput micro-fluidic lab-on-a-chip and a sophisticated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detector in one package, suitable for use in a wide-bore commercial NMR magnet. This unique platform targets the controlled in vivo NMR spectroscopy and imaging of the model organism C. elegans, for this purpose the high throughput micro-fluidic lab-on-a-chip has the necessary infrastructure to feed, hold, move and immobilise a large population of C. elegans on demand and over its lifecycle and lifetime, with operations synchronised with the remaining functions of the platform. In turn, the co-integrated NMR detector is specially adapted to the range of shapes of the nematode, and its motility, and is optimised with regard to NMR signal-to-noise ratio and spectral resolution. In order to attain high resolution, the NMR system is optimised for strong magnetic fields, through the computed layout of devices, the adaptation of microstructurable materials, and the design of electronics and control circuits. The targeted user of the platform is a C. elegans micro-biologist with a requirement to detect or discover small molecule (< 1000 Da) metabolites in vivo. High throughput in vivo metabolomic mapping, with a platform that generates molecular data on an individual-by-individual basis for populations of thousands of individuals, has the potential to open up a completely new window of research in systems biology. The NMCEL project aims to address this important step ahead.

The Piezo institute AISBL (PI) emerged from NoE MIND (Multifinctional & Integrated Piezoelectric Devices). PI is well a functioning non profit organisation with ongoing activities dedicated to support the integration of the fragmented European expertise and deliver innovative educational tools through postgraduate degrees combining materials, technology and device knowledge. It needs, however, to continue strengthening its visibility through increasing dissemination and building out all the existing activities within education, research and training. The new knowledge under development within PI supports the environmental, safety and health policies of EU and is designed to facilitate next generation of material technologies for autonomous monitoring systems incl. Energy Harvesters. To achieve further defragmentation, PI will increase the shared research support activities incl. the preparation of proposals, active participation in programming activities for future calls, further developing of European postgraduate degrees, offering of expertise and support of innovation within the field to European industry and in particular to SMEs. To increase its visibility and support dissemination to public and professionals, PI will organise conferences, workshops, tutorials and industrial courses. PI plans to widen the offer of industrial training, based on accredited courses within technology and modelling. Thanks to complementary expertise of its members, and history of extensive collaboration, PI has developed substantial expertise within lead-free piezoelectric materials, their processing and technology, the knowledge of which combined with the design expertise, PI will exploit to support industrial implementation of, serving the environmentally friendly innovation. The scientists with PI’s international degree will have a thorough and sound grounding to support Europe’s environmentally friendly processing, modelling and development of next generation technologies.

Functional Renormalization provides a bridge from fundamental microphysical laws to macroscopic complexity and observations. Acting like a "theoretical microscope" with variable resolution, it includes in a stepwise procedure the fluctuation effects which are responsible for the emergence of complexity. It describes macroscopic phenomena that are not directly visible on the microscopic level as order, phase transitions and spontaneous symmetry breaking , and is flexible enough to accommodate the change of effective degrees of freedom and associated effective laws. The laws of Nature become dependent on the length scale. We propose to develop non-perturbative flow equations into a precision tool for the understanding of many body physics, that can be tested by experiments with ultracold atoms. Fundamental questions as a formulation of quantum gravity as a non-perturbatively renormalizable quantum field theory, the emergence of fundamental length scales or the origin of dark energy will be tackled with this method. We also will address specific applications as the non-linear growth of structure in cosmology or the phase diagram of models for strongly correlated electrons.

The objective of this 4-year project is to provide the analytical basis for a socio-ecological transition in Europe: the change to a new growth path with smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as is envisaged in the EU 2020 strategy. In order to support the transition, we analyse the need, the feasibility and best practice for change, specifying the institutional changes needed at all policy levels to implement these options. The old and new challenges Europe is facing define the starting point: globalisation, new technologies and postindustrialisation, demographic change and ecology in the context of welfare systems that have come under stress due to high public deficits. The vision is that Europe will become a role model for a "high road growth path" which actively incorporates social and ecological goals, employment, gender and cultural aspects in an ambitious, forward looking way while continuing to be competitive in a globalised world. To achieve these objectives, the consortium will carry out and synthesise robust research in research areas covering the challenges to the welfare system, the biophysical dimension of socio-economic development, the identification of drivers towards socio-ecological transition, the role of governance and institutions on the European as well as the regional level. The consortium will benefit from ongoing dialogue with international experts in the form of expert panels and sounding boards, taking into account their views on the direction and feasibility for this new growth path. The project will be carried out by a consortium of 34 partners from universities and research institutes with international and interdisciplinary expertise. It represents 12 member states. High level Scientific and Policy Boards will monitor the analysis and the policy conclusions to guarantee the impact and dissemination of the results.

LLLight’in’Europe –LifeLong Learning, Innovation, Growth and Human capital Tracks in Europe Among all Europeans between 24 and 65 years old who had a tertiary educational degree in 2010, 82.8% were working. In the same age group, 68.3% who completed secondary schooling were working. Only 46% of those who did not complete secondary schooling were working. It is apparent that if Europe wants to be working, higher education is the necessary foundation for being competitive in the labor market. Since this is not only true for generations of future workers currently in school, but equally so for those who are today in their 30s, 40s and 50s, Lifelong Learning must be essential to continued employability. The cumulative investment necessary to generate higher education degrees alone for adults over the next two decades across Europe may be 3.5 trillion euros or about 1.4% of European GDP per year. Even higher investments are required in non-formal and informal Lifelong Learning. To help guide this investment, this research project will find answers to the following urgent questions: 1. How do successful enterprises actively employ Lifelong Learning for their competitive advantage? 2. Which public policy environments facilitate Lifelong Learning for such enterprises and entrepreneurs? 3. How does Lifelong Learning interact with and promote innovativeness on the enterprise level? 4. How much of which skills do European adults actually have? 5. What are the actual learning mechanisms in adult life that lead to these skills? 6. What are the causal effects of these skills on growth, competitiveness and social cohesion? The research consortium includes nine universities and research institutes from four academic disciplines – macro-econometrics, innovation dynamics, educational systems, psychometrics – to establish empirically proven answers. All outputs of the project (models, reports and tools) are designed to guide, support and facilitate best practice and strategy among public policy officials, enterprise strategists, individual citizens and fellow scientists.

Private tenancy law is existentially affecting the daily lives of European citizens, as about one third of them depend on rental housing. That notwithstanding, it constitutes a nearly blank space in comparative and European law. This is due to its national character, its political nature and its embeddedness in widely diverging national housing policies, which ultimately reflect different welfare state models. At the same time, however, different parts of EU law and policy do affect tenancy law significantly, albeit indirectly. Thus, EU social policy against poverty and social exclusion extends to selected issues of housing policy. EU non-discrimination rules extend to the provision of housing, and several consumer law directives apply to tenancy contracts, too. Moreover, if the Common Frame of Reference were one day to develop into an optional instrument, tenancy law issues now regulated by national general contract law might be covered as well - though without any legislator having co-ordinated the ensuing juxtaposition of European contract law and national tenancy regulation. Against this background, this project sets out to provide the first large-scale comparative and European law survey of tenancy law. In a first step, it analyses national tenancy laws and their embeddedness in, and effects on, national housing policies and markets. In a second step, the effect of EU legislation on national housing policy in general and national tenancy law in particular will be analysed in a comparative perspective. In a third step, a proposal for a better co-ordinating role of the EU in tenancy law and housing policy, in particular through an OMC process developing common principles of good “tenancy regulation”, will be designed. This research matches well several priorities of the Stockholm programme given tenancy law’s intimate relation to social human rights and a system of law and justice working for the benefit of European citizens, in particular vulnerable groups.
