The Nazi system was not amoralism in the classical textbook sense but a specific, though contorted normative order. The basic argument was that political emergency conditions made it necessary to replace the unstable liberal-democratic framework of the Weimar Republic by a &apos;new source of law : the authority and political will of the Führer. The claim to correctly interpret the Führer s will and intentions became the new foundation of legitimate political action . Consequently emergency decrees, political initiatives, and party agitation replaced the rule of law. The Nazis worked, however, with a highly moralized conception of social reality, based on perverted notions of duty, honor, loyalty, fidelity, and sincerity. The Nazi regime provided people with justifications of policies and measures that for many followers amounted to a &apos;meaningful story . They managed to set a normative framework within which even fulfilling killing orders &apos;made sense . A perverted model of practical reasoning was propagated by the highest authorities according to which immediate reactions of resistance and revulsion counted as &apos;natural temptations&apos; which had to be overcome. The aim of the project is to: - provide a detailed account of the normative order of the Nazi system and the transformations of the key political and legal institutions that it brought about; - analyze in detail the distorted notions of duty, obedience, and decency and the corresponding self-conceptions the Nazi regime encouraged; - explore the implications of our findings for the following broader questions: * How should we assess conceptions of normativity under non-ideal conditions? * What is the relationship between legality and legitimacy under non-ideal conditions? * What exactly are the standards for acting morally under non-ideal conditions?

How does the assembly of neuronal circuits contribute to the emergence of function controlling dedicated animal behaviors? Finding answers to this question requires a deep understanding of the connectivity map of neuronal circuits controlling a behavior as well as the mechanisms involved in the generation of these specific circuit maps. In the project outlined here, I propose the analysis of the neuronal circuits involved in the generation of motor output, a behavior representing the ultimate output of nearly all nervous system activity. Studying the mouse motor output system will allow the analysis of neuronal circuit connectivity at an exquisite degree of specificity. Owing to the anatomical arrangement of motor neuron pools innervating individual muscles, this system offers the possibility to combine genetic, anatomical and physiological analysis of synaptic specificity with a direct link to a behavioral output. Generation of coordinated motor behavior is functionally linked to the high degree of specificity in presynaptic connections controlling the activation of individual motor neuron pools, yet knowledge on the specificity map of premotor circuits is currently missing. The aim of this research project is to acquire information on the general principles guiding the acquisition, maintenance and developmental plasticity of neuronal connectivity between premotor neurons and functionally defined subpopulations of motor neurons. This project is now possible due to the unique combination of our detailed know-how of the motor system in mice including a variety of genetic animal models, and the application of novel viral circuit tracing technology revealing monosynaptically connected premotor neurons, which we have recently applied successfully to the motor system in mice in vivo. Together, our project will elucidate the anatomical connectome of the motor output system as well as the principles governing the specificity with which motor circuits assemble.

Contemporary global developments in work and employment are transforming labour and reshaping relations between workers, creating new webs of interconnection across the world. This research programme aims to radically revise the foundational concept of the division of labour , by situating traditional understandings of the technical allocation of tasks within an expanded theoretical framework. Two additional dimensions of differentiation and interdependency of work activities are proposed, namely across socio-economic modes (market, non-market, etc.) and across the economic processes of production, distribution, exchange, and preparation for consumption. The approach will be developed by opening up a new research terrain of consumption work : all work undertaken by consumers necessary for the purchase, use, re-use and disposal of consumption goods. The work of consumers is shaped by its interdependency with that of providers, and vice versa, so providing a key to route to understanding the overall dynamics and variety of changing worlds of work. Three contrasting empirical probes are chosen for the questions each raises about consumption work and its increasing socio-economic importance: domestic broadband installation, food preparation and household recycling of waste. Analysis will centre for each on the varying nature of the interface and interaction between consumption work and systems of provision in five comparator countries (UK, Sweden, France, Taiwan, Korea) selected for their contrasting socio-economies. The research programme is global, comparative and historical, making a significant scientific and policy contribution, by advancing comprehension of key processes of ongoing socio-economic change, and establishing consumption work as a new field of enquiry.

Diet-related chronic diseases are a major public health concern. Addressing this concern is a key government policy objectives. Poor diet is one important cause, and a number of policies are aimed at improving diet. The impact of these policies on diet, and thus on health outcomes, will depend crucially on how consumers adapt their food purchasing behaviour in response to the policy, and on how firms in turn respond in terms of the prices they set and the foods they offer. This proposal sets out an ambitious programme of research that aims to provide a deeper understanding of consumer food purchasing behaviour and firm food pricing behaviour, and their impact on nutrition, taking account of the fact that these markets are typified by oligopolistic competition. This research agenda is made possible by rich new household level data on prices and nutrients. The research will comprise five inter-related projects. The first two projects will develop a set of models and econometric tools which will produce interesting results in their own right, but will also provide key inputs into the other three projects. Each project seeks to make fundamental advances on the existing literature, and addresses an important policy question. The projects are linked since they will utilise related modelling tools, econometric methods and data. Together these projects will provide a more comprehensive analysis of policy options in the area of food and nutrition than would be possible with independent projects. The projects are: estimating demand for food, store choice and nutritional outcomes; estimating income effects; ex ante evaluation of tax policies; ex post evaluation of information campaigns; and innovation, nutrition and the introduction of new products in the food industry.

One of the features of the modern state in its early phase is the development of distinctively political societies: in both Italian cities (from the 12th century) and western monarchies (from the late 13th), exclusively interpersonal links or the arbitral powers of family or social group leaders, although still important, had to compete with other sources of authority. All decisions about justice, war and taxation had to be accepted by those who were directly, and in some cases indirectly, concerned by them. This process, its institutionalisation through representative assemblies and administrative devices, the crises often violent to which it led, has been scrutinized by historians of late. However, scholars have as yet paid little attention to the changes in the communication system which this process implied. They have moved within the limited and well-trodden space of the history of political ideas, running the risk of anachronism by using concepts such as those of propaganda or public opinion. This project is based upon a semiotic hypothesis; it aims at answering three questions, with a specific methodology. The semiotic hypothesis is that, in any society, the communication system has a functional structure similar to that of the language (which is part of it): each component can only be understood in relation with others, in a global and synchronic approach necessary to study the idéel defined by Godelier as a combination of the imaginary and of the symbolic. The questions centre upon the process of legitimization, the concept of acceptance, and the relation of political societies to the components of the communication system. The methodology is based upon comparative history and the use of computing techniques (prosopography, textometrics, statistics).

According to the recent publications of the European Technological Platform for a Sustainable Nuclear Energy (SNETP) (Vision report and Strategic Research Agenda) the sustainability require the combination of the present LWR, future Advanced Fast reactors and the waste minimization in closed cycles with Partitioning and Transmutation. To implement these new nuclear systems and their fuel cycles it is necessary to improve the accuracy, uncertainties and validation of related nuclear data and models, required for those systems but also for the experimental and demonstration facilities involved in the their validation. The project will include new nuclear data measurements, dedicated benchmarks, based on integral experiments, and improved evaluation and modeling specifically oriented to obtain high precision nuclear data for the major actinides present in advanced reactor fuels, to reduce uncertainties in new isotopes in closed cycles with waste minimisation and to better assess the uncertainties and correlations in their evaluation.

The entire project of cooperation with Russia in the development of common ground for cooperation in nuclear education, training and knowledge management consists of two parallel projects, i.e. this ENEN-RU project on the EU side and the project titled “Innovative Nuclear Education Towards Peace, Prosperity & Sustainable Development” on the Russian side. The objectives of the entire project are: - to define a common basis for effective cooperation between the European and Russian networks for nuclear Education and Training (E & T); - to define the needs of cooperation in the long term; - to establish a framework for mobility of teachers and students; - to conduct some pilot items for E & T; - to launch the knowledge management framework; and - to list up and promote further use of E & T facilities, laboratories and equipments. As a result of the achievement of all these objectives, a sustainable framework of cooperation with Russia will be established for nuclear E & T. The work will start by analysis of the present situation on both sides, define opportunities and barriers for cooperation, carry out pilot exercises and define a road map for the expansion of the cooperation. The project will lead to the mutual recognition of the E & T programmes on both sides and lead to the expansion of the exchanges. These would offer to nuclear research and industry a broader basis of human resources and foster cooperation in nuclear power development. The structure of Work Packages (WPs) is intended to be simple and transparent in order to facilitate the monitoring of progress made and its communication to the Russian counterparts. The overall management of the project will be assured by the ENEN Association, in close cooperation with the WP leaders in the Project Committee and with the Russian counterparts through the EU-Russian Project Committee.

Fibre materials and textiles can be a material of choice for the future. The realisation of this potential depends on Europe’s ability to achieve a critical mass of investments in RTD and on our ability to transfer research into innovations. Here Europe faces great challenges and therefore, there is a need to bridge the good intentions of the European Technology Platforms, the Lead Market Initiative and the reality of Europe’s textile research with an instrument that provides new structures and new resources. The foreseen instrument is the herewith proposed ERA-NET project CROSSTEXNET. CROSSTEXNET draws together 18 research funding agencies on regional and national level in a co-operation project aiming at “making more and smarter funding available to European textile research, on a permanent basis, by exploiting the potentials of international co-ordination and programming of research programmes.” CROSSTEXNET is distinguished to be an operative initiative supplying resources for cooperation. Its ambition is to transfer policy and strategy oriented documents to the level of beneficiaries, hereby providing a tool for implementation of research policies and strategies. The dominance of regional funding and policies, while fostering a triple helix between public authorities, RTO’s and companies, also creates fragmentation and duplication of efforts. To this regards, CROSSTEXNET will be instrumental in overcoming fragmentation of policies and funding by helping policy makers to benefit from the experiences of the main textile regions of Europe and further to develop coherent R&D funding systems in a joint strategy. On the basis of synergies and added value of transnational cooperation, the project partners will achieve critical outputs as a joint research programme, based on a joint strategy and four joint calls. Finally, CROSSTEXNET will lead to an increased understanding of research and new mindset as a pre-requisite for innovation and growth in the textile industry.

The objective of the proposal is based on the outcome of PATEROS CA to assess more in depth the regional approach to P&T implementation. It will respond to one of the key-topics put forward by the Strategic Research Agenda of SNETP. The project intends to look at the economical aspects of the most realistic scenario for P&T with the hypothesis: limit the MA bearing fuel transport and limit the MA bearing fuel handling in and between all places such as at the reactor, at the fuel fabrication and at the reprocessing plant.We would like to assess the cost associated to implementing ADS’s or dedicated Fast Reactors as minor actinide burning facilities. The idea is to start from two fixed hypotheses: (1) we work in double-strata approach and look only at the second (“burning” stratum); (2) we assume a certain influx of minor actinide mass per year that needs to be burned. These two hypotheses will allow the project to avoid extensive scenario studies. The economic impact will be evaluated for investment cost, associated fuel cycle and operational cost but not the needed R&D cost. A crucial parameter to be established for both reactor systems is the maximal minor actinide (MA) content in a core loading. This maximal MA value is determined by operational safety criteria to be adhered by the dedicated burner. An evaluation of a number of safety parameters for the systems will give an upper boundary for the minor actinide mass present in the core. In order to not diversify the work, the project should define a generic and representative system for the ADS approach and the FR approach. For the ADS, one can benefit from the work done in the FP6-EUROTRANS on the EFIT design. For the FR, one could use an SFR or LFR as a starting point. However, the design should be optimized to the task of a dedicated burner. Concerning the FR two options could be envisaged for the core lay-out: driver fuel with blanket or homogeneous mixture.
