IS-ENES will develop a Virtual Earth System Modelling Resource Centre (V.E.R.C.), integrating the European Earth system models (ESMs) and their hardware, software, and data environments. The overarching goal of this e-infrastructure is to further integrate the European climate modelling community, to help the definition of a common future strategy, to ease the development of full ESMs, to foster the execution and exploitation of high-end simulations, and to support the dissemination of model results and the interaction with the climate change impact community. The V.E.R.C. encompasses models, the tools to prepare, evaluate, run, store and exploit model simulations, the access to model results and to the European high-performance computing ecosystem – in particular the EU large infrastructures DEISA2 and PRACE. The V.E.R.C. developed by IS-ENES is based on generic ICT, Grid technology and subject-specific simulation codes and software environments. The European Network for Earth System Modelling (ENES) leads IS-ENES. This network gathers the European climate and Earth system modelling community working on understanding and prediction of future climate change. This community is strongly involved in the assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and provides the predictions on which EU mitigation and adaptation policies are elaborated. IS-ENES combines expertise in Earth system modelling, in computational science, and in studies of climate change impacts. IS-ENES will provide a service on models and model results both to modelling groups and to the users of model results, especially the impact community. Joint research activities will improve the efficient use of high-performance computers, model evaluation tool sets, access to model results, and prototype climate services for the impact community. Networking activities will increase the cohesion of the European ESM community and advance a coherent European Network for Earth System modelling.

During the past 70 years or more, thousands of viruses have been isolated and partly characterised by experts working in different countries worldwide. These viruses potentially provide a unique and extremely valuable medical and educational resource for research and development to understand the basis of virus diseases, and to develop modern state of the art strategies for disease control. However, nowhere in the world has there been an attempt to coordinate these collections of viruses so that they can be authenticated, amplified under quality-controlled conditions, stored long-term, and disseminated worldwide to laboratories engaged in fundamental and/or applied research. Without carefully coordinated intervention, these valuable resources will be lost to science and medicine. The objective of this project is therefore to develop a readily accessible virus reference library at the European level through the creation of the European Virus Archive (EVA). Since it would create insurmountable problems to develop such a collection in a single laboratory, EVA will utilise the expertise and facilities of recognised centres of excellence in virology within Europe. EVA will also exploit the high international reputations of these centres to obtain viruses currently held outside Europe. The management structure of EVA will ensure the highest standards of quality assurance, security, traceability and dissemination for the benefit of science, medicine, education and global information. The EVA network will develop appropriate protocols for virus amplification, supported by sustainable long-term storage facilities. The resource will be available to all users who can demonstrate the appropriate biosecurity credentials. An associated technology transfer centre will develop products for diagnosis, research, therapeutic application, education, and training. The EVA consortium contains internationally recognised experts in all aspects of the proposal. EVA is therefore an exciting, ambitious and realisable concept that can work for the benefit of mankind.

CHARISMA is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative that brings together 22 leading European institutions developing research on artwork materials and their deterioration finalised to the conservation of cultural heritage. The consortium has the objective to optimise the use of infrastructures through a coordinated program of transnational access, joint research and networking activities. Transnational access offers applicants opportunities to exploit the services of three different and complementary groups of facilities, embedded in a multidisciplinary environment involving material science and artwork conservation/restoration. They are: i) a group of six archives containing a huge amount of analytical data, hosted by the most prestigious European museums and institutions developing safeguard and conservation of cultural heritage; ii) a set of advanced portable instrumentation for in-situ non-invasive measurements in the same site where the artworks are located or exhibited; iii) two platforms, one in France and one in Hungary, where large scale facilities are coupled to a set of medium scale instrumentations, open to users for the most advanced studies on artwork materials and their alterations. Research is devoted: i) to improve access to databases exploiting digitalisation of data and their harmonisation; ii) to design and set-up innovative instrumentations, for in-situ 2D and 3D examinations of artworks, and new cleaning techniques; iii) to develop new methodologies for the study of organic materials and their distribution in micro-samples or directly at the surface of the object. Through networking, the way infrastructures are working is improved, harmonising methodologies and best practices in analysis and conservation, pursuing the establishment of a multidisciplinary synergic working method, based on shared use of knowledge and resources.

The automotive and white goods market tends towards individual customer solutions with product variants in small batch production, for which the forming system needs special setups, parameter change in self-learning control systems and high skilled operators. The self-learning sheet metal forming system LearnForm aims at an innovative knowledge-based drawing process with integrated multi sensors and actuators for adapting the control system strategy to changed material properties and product variants. The concept of the project LearnForm bases on the following main ideas: 1) a self-learning sheet metal forming system based on work piece energy and thermal quality control, 2) intelligent drawing dies including multi-sensors, 3) multi die cushion axes with adaptronic force oscillation actuators and 4) an open architecture motion control system extended by self-learning control strategies. Three tasks of self-learning control are the sliding friction, forming and clamping tasks supervised by the energy level with thermo camera quality check. Demonstrators are intelligent drawing dies for automotive and white goods and self-learning process control software with multi criteria optimizing strategies. The industrial leadership is performed by 5 companies (3OEM, 2SME) with their market leader knowledge and product programme. RTD partners co-operate with outstanding applied and basic interdisciplinary research experience. The work packages include simulation, measuring, programming, training and testing tasks. The project consortium has estimated the high RTD risk and total project costs to 4.77M€. The total project exploitation from 8 partners is estimated to 25M€ in the third year. The impact from the LearnForm results in the European market of knowledge-based sheet forming presses and dies, industrial process control is characterized by an annual increased turnover of 57.4M€ and by annual reduced manufacturing costs in automotive and white goods of 49.9M€.

Researchers’ Night in Sweden, ForskarFredag (Researchers´ Friday), FF, consists of twelve events and three associated events in seventeen cities, dispersed geographically over Sweden. The project aims at bringing the broad public face-to-face with researchers. FF will be organised on 26 September 2008 and is coordinated by Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Public & Science), as in 2006 and 2007. Project partners are universities, science centres, municipalities and a regional council, all organising a local FF event. The project is facilitated by the partners’ wide-ranging and diverse links within industry, academia, research disciplines and topics. The objective of the innovative and exciting activities offered at each event is to allow for public engagement and meetings with researchers in a relaxed and festive environment. Fun, hands-on and interactive activities as well as informal dialogues on topical issues will help attracting the broad public, especially those not specifically interested in research. The fact that research is all about communication and international cooperation, especially on a European level, is emphasised. The number of estimated visitors is at least 14,000. Live media reports and news items are also expected to cover the events. Furthermore, everyone will be invited to take part in the European photo competition and to make a pledge to reduce personal carbon dioxide emissions by “clicking for the climate” on the project website. To ensure maximum visibility, a coordinated awareness campaign will be implemented. Impact will be assessed and FF results and best practice will be disseminated through the participants´ networks and at national and international conferences. Unanimous objectives, similarity of contents as well as a joint website will be common denominators of FF. Event programmes will vary, but all will deliver the same message: researchers are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs, influencing everyone’s everyday life.

The EOS (Eyes On Researchers) project represents the most natural, social and organizational evolution of the innovative and successful AGORA’ project which took part to the Researchers’ Night 2007 FP7 program. AGORA' triggered, promoted and catalyzed a process of fusion of Research Institutes, Local and Regional administrations, cultural and scientific associations into the European association, a legal body, Frascati citta’ Europea della Scienza,(www.frascatiscienza.it) which is the present proponent of the EOS project. The EOS project has then a new quality: it is proposed and promoted by an association born in the framework of Researchers’ Night programmes. In EOS it will be paid special attention to the promotional and communicational activities in the metropolitan area of Rome and in the Castelli Romani district. The campaign will be reinforced with respect to the 2007 event. A participation of more than 15.000 people (potentially 25000) to EOS is anticipated. The EOS project is articulated in harmonically and well-equilibrated informal, pleasant, enjoyable and attractive activities addressed to the large public. Part of these actions will be held inside the participating Research Institutes, while another part will be organized into Castelli Romani towns in particularly characteristic places: main squares, parks, bars, restaurants, libraries, town halls, and significative places of European artistical and historical interest, like the famous Ville Tuscolane, old residences of Pope’s family, or the local archaeological Museum and conference hall “Scuderie Aldobrandini”. Specific activities will be dedicated to the small children, to their parents, to young and less young citizens. Hands-on experiments will be proposed, to show science can also be funny, together with guided visits in the participating institutes, such as to attract young people towards scientific careers. Special atention will be given to awareness campaign and to impact assessment.

The aim of SELFMEM is to develop innovation in the field of nanoporous membranes. This will be achieved by taking advantage of the self-assembly properties of block copolymers leading to highly porous membranes with adjustable, regular-sized pores of tailored functionalities. Both polymeric and inorganic (silicon) membranes will be developed. In the case of isoporous polymeric membranes focus will be laid on the formation of integral-asymmetric block copolymer membranes with an isoporous top layer as a function of the block copolymer structure and the preparation conditions. Isoporous inorganic membranes will be prepared by using a thin block copolymer film as a mask for selective etching. The possibilities to systematically vary the pore size and density by varying the block copolymer mask structure will be investigated. The block copolymers will be synthesized by controlled polymerisation techniques (anionic, group transfer, and different radical polymerisations), depending on the chosen monomers. The characterisation during and after formation of the membranes will be carried out by light and various x-ray scattering techniques, by scanning force microscopy, and by different electron microscopic techniques. Both types of membranes will be post-functionalized in order to tune their final properties. The membranes will be tested for their applicability in different areas. Separation of gases (like H2/CO2) and proteins as well as water purification will be addressed in this project. Modeling and theory will support the understanding of the structure formation of these membranes and help to optimise membrane design. The results of SELFMEM will increase European competitiveness in strategic markets such as gas purification, water treatment and molecular biology. The consortium consists of 12 partners from 10 countries, including 4 companies from 3 countries.

Light-Rolls focus on research and development of modular based production units for the seamless, high throughput manufacture of micro-structured, polymer based components and Microsystems. The scientific objective aims to realize structures in the micron range and integrate also Dies, smaller then 0,5mmx0,5mm and thickness down to 50 um to be assembled in high-speed. Nanopar-ticulate dispersions used in fast conductive track printing technologies will allow the parallel gen-eration of conductive lines down to 30µm track width. Light-Rolls is based on highly innovative manufacturing and assembly technologies: 1. RMPD®-rotation, a patented process technology, which uses a UV curable liquid to generate polymer structures (generative manufacturing approach). 2. New chip assembly methods, originating from self assembly methods 3. High resolution – high speed conductive track and interconnection generation by ink-jet printing methodologies. These processes comprise the founding elements of the Light-Rolls technology platform with a roll-to-roll philosophy. The manufacturing modules will be integrable, exchangeable, with mechanical, fluidic and IT interfaces, to make it easy and cost efficient to adjust the sequence of process steps to the product to be produced. Besides the translation of processes for high-throughput manufacturing, high yield will be achieved by the application of advanced process control and production IT meth-ods. Lines run without dangerous chemicals and use integrated recycling. For future products a Light-Rolls knowledge base for design for manufacturing will be elaborated. A pilot line will be set-up, tested for fabrication of flexible LED-display systems. Manufacture of other components like Lab-on-Chip or integration of new micro-energy storage components is possible in future to address needs of European industry. Products have potential of 100 Mio Euro worth revenue for 1 partner alone for a 5 year period beyond project end.
