LAPITH aims to embed in Trinity College Dublin substantial, new methodological expertise in the use of 3D modelling and virtual worlds in arts and humanities research, by investigating historiographical approaches to and historical understandings of patterns of theatre development in twentieth-century Dublin, and to align this new research strength with cognate areas already in place in Trinity College. Building on the applicant’s extensive experience of managing numerous large-scale digital research projects in UK universities, an innovative, integrated methodological blend of computer modelling, virtual worlds, performance film-making and oral history will be constructed to make critical, historiographical and cultural interventions that will impact on the prevailing narratives of Irish theatre history and digital scholarly publishing, reaching both subject specialists and a wider public audience. In parallel, the project will exploit this historical research as a test-bed for further developing the "London Charter for the Computer-based Visualization of Cultural Heritage", a widely adopted and cited international methodological standard, which the applicant initiated, and now develops and drives towards UNESCO-ICOMOS endorsement. Through this activity, the project will leverage into engagement with Trinity College as a research community the applicant’s international network of digital cultural heritage researchers and professionals. The project entails close interaction with several researchers and research groups at Trinity College, and strategic engagement with a local cultural heritage and digital solutions SME with an exemplary track-record of collaboration with both TCD and the applicant. It will lead to major new, collaborative funding applications, and will firmly establish the Applicant as champion of visualization methods in humanities research at Trinity College.

Synergistic role of Notch and CD133 in oral epithelial cell differentiation and survival The Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that regulates cell-cell communication and cell fate. CD133/Prominin1 is often expressed by stem cells but its functions are still unknown. Increasing evidence suggest Notch and CD133 might have close biological connection. Based on my preliminary results, I hypothesize that Notch and CD133 play synergistic roles in regulating epithelial cell fates. Using the tooth as a model system, my find that Notch1 and CD133 are co-expressed in the epithelium of the developing tooth. Notch1 and CD133 also co-localize in oral mucosa epithelial cells, suggesting a possible common functional link between these two molecules. The significance of these findings is reflected by my further results that CD133 knock-out mice exhibit a defective tooth epithelial developmental phenotype (i.e., amelogenesis imperfecta) similar to that observed in mutant mice in which canonical Notch signaling is conditionally inhibited. This phenotype is at least partially due to decreased epithelial stem cell numbers and the defective terminal lineage differentiation. Moreover, in cultured tooth epithelial cells, I observed (i) that increased CD133 expression induces stem cell marker expression and lineage differentiation in a Notch/RBP-Jk-dependent manner and (ii) that increased Notch activity elicits effects similar to those of CD133 overexpression. I plan to further develop this line of work with a systematic investigation of the combined role of Notch and CD133 signaling in regulating epithelial cell fate. Initially focusing on tooth development, I plan to extend and assess the significance of the findings to oral mucosa keratinocyte stem cell renewal and differentiation. This work is of potential high impact for other systems in which Notch and CD133 pathways are involved in the control of cell fate determination and plasticity.

In Daphnia, parthenogenetic reproduction alternates with sexual reproduction. Individuals of both sexes that belong to the same parthenogenetic line are genetically identical and their sex is determined by the environment. However, some lines never produce males, and these non male producing ("NMP") genotypes can only persist through phases of sexual reproduction if they co-occur with normal ("MP") genotypes that produce both males and females. The distinction between MP and NMP is genetically determined by a single chromosomal region carrying a dominant NMP allele. Thus, Daphnia have a partially genetic and partially environmental sex determination. Here I propose to exploit this unique polymorphism to study the evolutionary transition between environmental and genetic sex determination and to investigate its genetic basis and genetic/genomic consequences, including the evolution of novel sex chromosomes.

Water Public Innovation Procurement Policies (WaterPiPP) is about exploring new public innovation procurement methodologies and testing it in water sector in the context where European innovation potential in the water sector is blocked by a number of bottlenecks and barriers. Public procurement represents around 19% of the EU’s GDP, an important lead market for innovators in particular in the water and climate change sectors. Innovation procurement of products and services can (i) be used to deliver societal objectives requiring new solutions that are not available on the market or are too expensive (ii) solve problems related to the commercialization of innovative solution (iii) improve quality and efficiency of public services with a better value for money. The complementarity of the consortium partners (public organisations, procurers, knowledge institutes and facilitators) supported by a Liaison Committee (composed of the key actors of the procurement innovation chain), shows high potential of bringing together the Demand and the Supply sides in order to create a critical mass for innovative solutions. Methods and tools accompanying by awareness rising for Innovation Oriented Public Procurement for the water sector will be delivered. Thanks to workshops and the creation of the Water Innovation Procurers Forum (WIPF), WaterPiPP partners will guide and support local and regional authorities, water utilities, innovation and procurement agencies in the preparation of pilot collaborative innovation tests. WaterPiPP will last three years : the first phase will gather information to produce knowledge on IOPP transferability to the water sector, the second will focus on pilot cases where different IOPP (PCP/PPI) will be tested at least by 5 procurers.

The objective of INAPRO is to mobilise industry, member states and stakeholders to promote a new and innovative technical and technological approach right up to an Aquaponic system which allows a nearly emission free sustainable production and contributes remarkably to global food security for the 21st century. Considering that traditional Aquaponic systems, combining aquaculture and hydroponics, have a great potential in saving water and energy and recovering nutrients from wastewater by value chains, the project aims at a real breakthrough for these systems towards commercialization. This will be achieved by a) the model based optimisation of the system concept in respect to water consumption and quality, environmental impact, waste avoidance, CO2 release and nutrient recycling, energy efficiency, management efforts and finally costs and b) the integration of new technologies containing cutting edge approaches such as: 1) innovative one-way water supply for horticulture and water retrieval by condensation, 2) alternative water and energy sources, 3) optimized filter systems, 4) intelligent sensor and management network for an optimized system construction and operation. The viability of INAPRO systems will be proved in concept-based demonstration projects both in rural and in urban areas that offer a potential economic advantage while simultaneously reducing water and carbon footprint. The dissemination activities (to policy, public and end-users) will open new market opportunities and improve market access inside and outside Europe for producers and technology suppliers. These ambitions meet perfectly with the EU strategies under Europe 2020 to face the challenges of dramatic water resource developments in Europe and worldwide. The project supports particularly the Innovation Union with the EIP Water as one key initiative and further the Common Agricultural Policy and will consequently be closely connected to an EIP Action Group in agricultural water management.

Complexity in modern aircrafts is increasing significantly. They incorporate more electric systems since other subsystems that used to be pneumatic or hydraulic are being replaced by electric systems. As a consequence, the wire harnesses that are used to connect those systems to each other must also convey more signals. The industrial-grade wiring harness acts as the central nervous system to many device and vehicle electronics designs, particularly in the aeronautic and aerospace segments. As applications become increasingly complex, innovation in wiring harness design and manufacturing techniques becomes more critical. This project will research and implement new methods for more efficiently driving design data toward fully automated design optimization so to better analyse costs, to help ensure the successful design and manufacture of new wiring harness products. For this purpose, the goal of this project is to link the unique state-of-the-art surrogate modelling technologies available at Noesis to develop new surrogate-based optimization techniques and software solutions suitable to solve wire harness large scale optimization problems. The resulting hybrid, adaptive and robust optimization strategy will allow optimization of high dimensional systems (HAROS-HD, Hybrid Adaptive Robust Optimization Strategy for High Dimensional systems) by means of smart adoption of model order reduction techniques coupled with surrogate models. The main advantages of this approach include: -Design engineers do not need to spend time and effort trying to understand their design space before choosing a suitable optimization algorithm. HAROS-HD will learn about the design space and employ the appropriate algorithms as it proceeds toward finding an optimized solution. -Design engineers are not required to be experts in optimization algorithms and applications, because HAROS-HD will intelligently adapt the optimization strategy by selecting the most appropriate method to use.

In line with the FP 7 call for proposals the objective of IMAILE is to use the PCP process to identify new technologies and services which address the challenge of providing the next generation of Personal Learning Environments (PLE) for primary and secondary school. This common challenge is identified by the consortium in order to meet an increased demand of personalized learning in the 21st century European classroom. The next generation PLE should address students within the topics of Science, Math and Technology (STEM) and support different learning styles in an individualized way. Furthermore the PLE should be accessible from any device and therefore adjustable to the method bring your own device (BYOD). The main tasks of the project is to prepare and create a mutual understanding of the PCP method for the public procurers, execute a joint PCP European call and enable the research/development of PLE solutions from different suppliers evaluated through a common set of joint criteria. The PCP process and the PLE technology as a whole will be evaluated during the project in an open dialogue between public procurers and industry. The learning process contributes to set European standards within learning technologies as well as present an innovative PCP strategy for increased quality and efficiency of public procurement. The IMAILE project is offering a direct solution to both demand- and supplier side within learning technologies. The solution is developed and evaluated according to the customized needs from the demand side. While the suppliers gain a solution adoptable directly on the European market. This action will in a long term perspective contribute to a broaden and innovative use of learning technologies in primary/ secondary education as a result of effective public – private partnerships for sustainable digital learning solutions in Europe.

PHASTFLEX proposes the development of a fully automated, high precision, cost-effective assembly technology for next generation hybrid photonic packages. In hybrid packages, multiple Photonic ICs (PICs) are assembled, combining the best of different material platforms for a wide range of applications and performance. In PHASTFlex, InP PICs with active functions are combined with passive TriPleX PICs.PIC fabrication can now be done in a generic foundry-based process, bringing PIC cost within the scope of many applications (~10-100€). However, current assembly and packaging technology leads to custom-engineered solutions; packaging is an order of magnitude more expensive, and this, is a major bottle-neck to market penetration. The EU Photonics21’s SRA calls “new approaches to packaging” a key challenge.The most demanding assembly task for multi-port PICs is the high-precision (±0.1μm) alignment and fixing of waveguides. PHASTFlex proposes an innovative concept, in which the waveguides in the TriPleX PIC are released during fabrication to make them movable. Actuators and fixing functions, integrated in the same PIC, place and fix the flexible waveguides in the optimal position (peak out-coupled power).The project aims to develop a complete assembly process and tooling to implement this concept, including pre-assembly using solder reflow and automated handling, and on-chip micro-fabricated fine-alignment and fixing functions. Fully automated cost-effective and high-performance solutions will also encourage photonic packaging to be carried out in EU economies. Proof of the concept will be given by assembly of prototypes for end-user applications.The consortium consists of 9 partners (7 industrial, of which 2 provide applications, 2 are universities), and are all recognised leading industrial and research entities in the photonics components and systems industry. The project duration is 36 months, the total cost is ~3.9M€, the requested EU contribution is ~2.8M
