In response to the call’s demand for cost effective modernization of the inland fleet for freight transport, MoVe IT! develops a suite of options for the modernisation of inland ships that meet the challenges of over-aging of the fleet, climate change and stronger environmental objectives and provides decision support regarding the application of these options. In this suite of options, knowledge gained from newbuildings, technology transfer from other transport modes, improvement of energy efficiency & ecological performance, transition to the post-fossil-fuel-era and adaptation to new ADN rules are prominent. One of the main focal points of MoVe IT! is the modernisation of the ship’s drive and power system in a way that is matched to the conditions it will face throughout its life. This will result in significantly better performance compared to the ship’s old systems that are designed to fulfil a single design condition. First, the conditions the ship will encounter are established through full-scale measurements. Using the operational profiles resulting from these measurements, the ship’s power systems and hydrodynamics are reviewed and optimal, integrated solutions are developed that minimize investments and ecological impact while maximizing efficiency. Research topics include new power system configurations, alternative fuels, retrofitting techniques for existing engines, improved hull and propulsors and assistance to the captain for efficient sailing. Further crucial modernization measures are to increase the vessel’s main dimensions to achieve economical and ecological scale advantages and upgrade of old tankers to meet new ADN requirements. MoVe IT! also invests heavily in assessing the economic viability of solutions as well as their contribution to environmental improvements. Subsequently, modernisation support for ship owners, policy support and (full scale) demonstrators will contribute to lowering the acceptance threshold for modernisation.

Underground transportation systems are big energy consumers (e.g. 63,1 millions of kWh / year), and have significant impacts on energy consumption at a regional scale. One third of the networks’ energy is required for operating the subsystems of metro stations and surroundings, such as ventilation, vertical transportation and lightning. Although a relatively small percentage of energy can be saved with an optimal management of these subsystems, a large energy saving in absolute terms can be obtained. The objective of SEAM4US is to develop advanced technologies for optimal and scalable control of metro stations that will produce a 5% saving in non-traction electricity consumption in one year, which is equivalent to the electricity consumed in more than 700 households. The project’s main outcomes will be the creation of systems for optimized integrated energy management, and the development of a decision support system to drive mid-term investments. SEAM4US will integrate additional energy metering and sensor-actuator networks with the existing systems (e.g. surveillance, passenger information and train scheduling), by means of middleware as abstraction layer, to acquire grounded user, environmental and scheduling data. The data set will update and enable a set of adaptive energy consumption and environmental models to proactively and optimally control the metro stations. The consortium consists of a large metro network operator, TMB; a major player in energy-efficient system management sector, COFELY; building and environmental physics and construction experts UNIVPM and UPC, respectively; R&D experts in middleware, FhG FIT and VTT; R&D experts in user and agent-based scheduling modeling, ALMENDE and UNIK; system integrator, CNET.

Today’s manufacturing plants provide a number of different processing possibilities for manufacturing a specific product. Each one of these processing possibilities poses different advantages and limitations that are function of both geometry and lot size of the part to be manufactured. However, one of the main driving forces in today’s production is the environmental friendliness and the energy efficiency of the production itself. Additionally, the manufacturing processes are needed to be able to quickly shift between diverse manufacturing operations with short transfer, program and set-up times without compromises to quality, reliability and life-cycle costs. In the proposed project the main object is the development of manufacturing systems that will be highly flexible, and, at the same time, closely adapted to the single product. These manufacturing systems need for an engineering tool able to cover the whole plant operation, from the overall planning of the plant operation (such as the routes that the product follow within the plant and the scheduling of the production) down to the individual process programming (such as process operation, energy efficiency etc). The process planning approach of today is based on expert systems that are able to propose alternative process plans for the manufacturing of a specific product. Additionally there are tools able to simulate the operation of each machine station both from technological (process parameters, energy efficiency, etc) and economical point of view. All of the available systems though are able to cover only portion of the production, requiring exchange of data between different systems and thus making the overall optimization of the plant operation a hard task. The proposed project will deliver a manufacturing planning decision support tool for the optimization of the plant operation that will be able to be used from the conceptual phase of the product to the final dispatch of the product to the customer.

The EUROFORGEN-NoE proposal aims to develop a network of excellence for the creation of a European Virtual Centre of Forensic Genetic Research. Forensic genetics is a highly innovative field of applied science with a strong impact on the security of citizens. However, the genetic methods to identify offenders as well as the creation of national DNA databases have caused concerns to the possible violation of privacy rights. Furthermore, studies to assess the societal dimension of security following the implementation of even more intrusive methods such as the genetic prediction of externally visible characteristics are highly relevant for their public acceptance. The network includes some of the leading groups in European forensic genetic research. It aims to create a closer integration of existing collaborations, as well as establishing new interactions in the field of security, as all key players are addressed: scientists, stakeholders, end-users, educational centres and scientific societies. Only if a long-term collaborative network can be established it will become possible to connect all scientific groups active in the field of forensic genetics, and to initiate a sustained effort covering all aspects of research. These efforts have to be combined with identifying and selecting the most innovative ideas to meet the challenges of analyzing biological crime scene samples compromised by degradation or indentified as mixtures of traces from multiple human sources. The proposal integrates five working packages. WP 1 is devoted to management and coordination. WP 2 will lead the activities aimed at the creation of the virtual centre of research. WP 3 will carry out exemplar projects as models of collaboration and integration of cutting edge research, later complemented by a competitive call for new research projects. The societal dimension of security as well as the ethical and legal aspects wil be addressed in WP 4, whereas WP 5 is devoted to education and training.

For centuries mankind has attempted to exploit the resources available to it through the reuse of objects and artifacts. However, as wealth of modern man has grown, the financial necessity to utilize the lifetime of these objects has dramatically declined, especially in developed countries with high focus on manufacturing. The demand for new products also placed undue pressure on the world’s resources, creating an ethical imperative to conserve and reuse. Remanufacturing is the process of bringing used products to "like-new" functional state with an equivalent quality assurance. As this activity provides profitability whilst reducing land-filling and usage of virgin material, it is a financially viable as well as a sustainable business concept. One of the key issues deterring the uptake of remanufacturing is the information gap which is created when products leave the OEM. The information gap is the result of the lack of data on product usage and its lifecycle. In general, the product user possesses much greater knowledge regarding a product as he has used it, repaired it, and replaced components. This, in turn, results in the fact that the input to the remanufacturing process is of unknown quality. The lack of reliable information on product usage and lifecycle leads to missed opportunities with respect to increased economic or environmental impact. The goal of PREMANUS is to overcome the asymmetric distribution of information in the End-of-Life (EoL) recovery of products, with a special emphasis on remanufacturing. To achieve this goal, PREMANUS will provide an on demand middleware which combines product information and product services within one service oriented architecture. In addition to closing the information gap, the PREMANUS middleware would compute EoL-specific KPIs based on product usage data and make recommendations to its users regarding the viability (in terms of profitability, scope, and time) of remanufacturing a product.

The eLCAr (E-Mobility Life Cycle Assessment Recommendations) project aims at supporting the process of assessing the environmental impact of electric vehicles. In order to do so a set of guidelines derived from the ILCD Handbook and adapted to the specific requirements of the projects of the Green Cars PPP is designed. This set of guidelines will be benchmarked according to a set of criteria such as applicability, practicability and ease of use and disseminated in an up to date fashion relying on interactive and online training materials. The guidelines will answer questions of how to treat ambiguities in the analysis of all aspects of electric mobility. They also provide a coherent benchmark framework enabling an ecological comparison of electric vehicles with other technological such as bio-fuel propelled cars and hydrogen based mobility. The project work plan reflects the broad range of topics such as battery and electric component production, typical vehicle utilization and driving cycles, interaction between electricity storage, power generation and grid services, as well as end of life and recycling by covering the different stages of an EV’s life. Stakeholders will be actively involved in the process, either by taking part in a number of input workshops or by participating in the project’s advisory board, which will ensure the crucial feedback from practitioners in the industry. Special attention will be paid to the requirements of participants of the Green Car Initiative, of which some stakeholders have already declared their support for and willingness to assist the project. Furthermore, the eLCAr project will develop training materials and concepts which will facilitate a swift and sustainable diffusion of the results into the respective stakeholder groups. Thus different learning and teaching concepts from self-learning materials to an interactive online platform are utilized to address as many different types of stakeholders and preferences as possible.
