The ERS, the main scientific society in the respiratory field in Europe, promotes research into respiratory diseases in children and adults, including asthma, COPD, cysticfibrosis, lung cancer, and sleep-related respiratory disorders. Respiratory diseases impose a global burden affecting hundreds of millions of people. Since1998, the ERS has operated a successful programme of transnational exchange of researchers in respiratory science. It was expanded in 2009 under the FP7 COFUND scheme with the RESPIRE programme. ERS was able to triple the number of post-doc fellowships in the respiratory field within Europe. Following the success of RESPIRE; “RESPIRE 2” will be further improved with the aim to maximise the impact on the fellow’s careers by extending the funding period to 2 fellowship years instead of 1. RESPIRE 2 will run over a total period of 5 years, and will fund a total of 24 fellowship years (compared to 18 in RESPIRE).ERS will organise an up-front screening of host institutions who will need to meet a number of selection criteria for the RESPIRE 2 candidates e.g. contribution to the fellows’ research costs, a career support programme, social security issues. RESPIRE 2 will be completely open, but only host institutions based in Europe will participate. There will be no discrimination according to age, gender, ethnic origin, religious or political beliefs. RESPIRE 2 will ensure that all applications undergo an impartial and rigorous peer-review by recognized international experts, free of conflicts of interest. The evaluation committee of ERS will select the host institute and fellows based on scientific merits and transparent criteria. RESPIRE 2 will be evaluated using quantifiable scientific output measures, and indicators of human achievements. RESPIRE 2 will boost the careers of the recipient fellows, it will also promote the ERA, by creating and maintaining scientific networks, and retaining promising researchers in Europe.

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) proposes a new fellowship programme for incoming mobility, called CONEX - CONnecting EXcellence to UC3M. The main objective of CONEX is to provide excellent training and career development opportunities to researchers, so that funded researchers can make significant steps in their scientific careers. Through CONEX, researchers who are not resident in Spain are enabled to carry out extended periods of research in one of UC3M’s research institutes or research groups. Following 2 calls for proposals, the CONEX programme aims to offer 8 fellowships with a duration of 36 months to Very Experienced Professors (>10 years research experience) and 20 fellowships with a duration of 36 months to Experienced Professors (4 – 10 years research experience). Researchers are fully free in the choice of their research topic, institute and supervisor/mentor, to allow for a maximum benefit of the fellowship on their career development. To support the researchers in their career advancement, all researchers will have a supervisor or mentor and are required to set up and evaluate a Personal Career Development Plan. An ethical issues policy is put in place, in line with the FP7 rules on ethical issues. The evaluation is based on a peer-review process. The evaluation process and criteria are transparent and are communicated to the applicants through openly accessible applicant’s documentation and support mechanisms. The CONEX Programme is complementary to and coherent with other UC3M supported initiatives that currently facilitate mobility. CONEX is also expected to have positive effects on UC3M, in particular through its policy of ‘Concentrating talent’ and on the Spanish landscape in general. CONEX supports the objectives of the activity heading Life-long learning and Career Development and other European policies, such as the Innovation Union.

With this proposal The Swedish Research Council (SRC) applies for support for finding novel and complementary forms to support and promote mobility among the best young researchers who also have the ambition and potential to become future research leaders. This will be accomplished by a new funding scheme for early career fellowships, called INCA (International Career Grant). The SRC will take an actively supporting role both before and during the grant period, including training and networking activities. The new program will contribute to strengthening the European research area by combining incoming, outgoing as well as reintegration transnational mobility. The programme will support the researchers financially, but also by maintaining high social security standards in combination with mobility as well as by contributing to the career development and by supporting leadership training and other complementary skills. Central aspects of the programme will be providing equal opportunities for men and women, with or without a family, and guaranteeing social security for all grantees. The programme will be open to young researchers from all nationalities as well as from all research areas. Grants will be awarded for 36-48 months, where typically 50% or more will constitute transnational mobility.

The BANDIERA (“Best Action for National Development of International Expert Researchers Activities”) COFUND Programme proposed by CNR is based on two national Flagship Projects (Progetti Bandiera), pluri-annual large national projects launched within the National Plan for Research 2011-2013, the Government’s formal planning of national priorities and strategies for research. Amongst those coordinated by CNR, the two Flagship Projects involved in this proposal are RITMARE, a national project for marine scientific and technological research and NanoMax, project aimed to establish a network of laboratories and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) companies in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The projects have officially started in early 2012 and will run for 5 and 3 years respectively. The BANDIERA Programme is aimed to attract incoming experienced researchers from EU Members States, Associated and Third Countries wishing to undertake interdisciplinary research and training in the fields covered by the Flagship Projects, in order to contribute to the further development and strengthening of their career prospects and also to facilitate cooperation with their institutions and countries of origin. The context of the proposed programme will offer fellows the opportunity to carry out research projects of their choice by means of individual personalised projects, in state of the art research facilities and to enhance their scientific and technical skills through a broad selection of training modules integrated with complementary skills development. In total 13 positions are envisaged (6 for RITMARE and 7 for NanoMax) for a duration of 24 months each. The fellows will be recruited by CNR to ensure homogeneous employment contracts and conditions, and will be hosted either at CNR Institutes or at any other institution participating in the 2 Flagship Projects, on the basis of specific agreements that will be stipulated on purpose, according to their research projects.

The KU Leuven Junior Researcher Mobility (JuMo) concept starts from the principle that international or intersectorial mobility is an essential part of the training of young researchers to broaden their skills and career opportunities both inside and outside academia. Young researchers grow towards more independence and research excellence through the confrontation with other cultures, ideas, scientific disciplines, technologies, or other sectors like industry. Moreover, they develop their own international and intersectoral network that will prove to be useful in later career stages. JuMo will be set up by KU Leuven as part of its internal research policy plan, supported by the Flemish programme to train and improve the career prospects of PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers. It will be complementary to existing mobility programmes. The COFUND support for JuMo will allow KU Leuven to establish a postdoctoral program for outgoing mobility, with ambitions transcending the goals of the current PhD and postdoc training and career development packages at KU Leuven. Researchers at KU Leuven will be encouraged to apply for a JuMo grant for outgoing mobility for a stay of 6 to 12 months outside Belgium in a high-quality environment. This can be a renowned university, research institution, or R&D-intensive company, for which they can build on KU Leuven’s extensive international and industrial network. The program focusses on postdocs with an employment contract or fellowship in the first 5 years post PhD, and will take specific measures to compensate gender inequalities and researchers with families. JuMo proposals will be selected by the KU Leuven Research Council supported by international peers based on a clear added value for the researcher’s future career, and on arguments towards frontline research, enabling the young postdocs to build a curriculum that will improve their career prospects.

There is ancient rock-art in most European countries and it is more common than cave art, with pictures and geometric shapes cut into rather than painted onto rock. This art exists in open-air surfaces exposed to the weather rather than inside caves. This wealth of Europe’s cultural heritage is inaccessible, difficult to study but provides profound stories from our ancient past. Valcamonica, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, has some of the best rock art in the world. These «Pitoti» (meaning little puppet in the local dialect) are on the UNESCO list of world heritage. Tens of thousands of Pitoti images span a period from about 4000 BC into medieval times. They show hunting, duelling and dancing scenes, as well as Europe's first map. However, the evolution of the wonderful Pitoti graphics is omitted from our standard history story. 3D-PITOTI provides the opportunity to set the record straight and give all Europeans a chance to enjoy this, hitherto underestimated, part of their common European heritage. Pitoti are 3-dimensional as they have depth because they are carved into the rock. But this third dimension has never been recorded or studied in detail. 3D-PITOTI will provide the step change needed by researching and developing: • An affordable and portable multi-scale 3D scanning toolkit for the high resolution acquisition of Pitoti figures and their natural context; • Intelligent data processing technologies to enrich the scanned 3D data by classification, clustering and retrieval techniques; and • Interactive 3D visualization and presentation techniques to provide access to the enriched high resolution digital rock-art for scientists, museum visitors, school children and web users. The 3D-PITOTI project will significantly advance the state of the art in rock-art research methodology and will not only ‘take the rock-art to people’ for the first time but will convey Pitoti knowledge to a much wider audience in interactive and engaging ways.

Learning and Execution of Action Categories (ACAT)

ACAT focuses on the problem how artificial systems (robots) can understand and utilize information made for humans. For example, a statement like: “Put the nut on the bolt and tighten”, which one might find in any assembly instruction sheet, is easily understood by us, but not by any robot. Too much background information is missing: Which tool to use? How to hold the tool? How to operate it? And much more. To make this understandable for a machine, ACAT introduces the concept of an “action category”. Action categories are extracted from large bodies of human sources (text, images) and will fill in the missing background information. An action category, thus, includes the general computer code to perform the action (e.g. by a robot hand). But, as actions are always situation dependent, it also includes all situation specific information (e.g. how to shape the hand, how to generate the correct pose relative to a manipulated object). This is called action-specific background information. Action categories are obtained by combining linguistic analysis with action-simulation and robot self-exploration. They are assembled in an action-specific knowledge base. The ACAT project will develop a system that uses this knowledge base to compile and execute plans as sequences of individual actions. The execution of these plans by a robot serves as a test-bed for the success of the stored action categories. Repeated execution, error analysis, and correction lead to a life-long update process of the action-category knowledge base. The ultimate purpose of ACAT is to equip the robot – on an ongoing basis – with abstract, functional knowledge, normally made for humans, about relations between actions and objects leading to a system which can act meaningfully. For testing, ACAT uses "instruction sheets" (manuals), made for human workers, and translates these into a robot-executable format. This way the robot will be able to partially take over human tasks without time-consuming programming procedures improving the efficiency of industrial processes. Thus, similar to computer science, where the development of the first compilers had led to a major step forward, the main impact of this project is that ACAT develops a robot-compiler, which translates human understandable information into a robot-executable program.

Creativity is a long-cherished and widely-studied aspect of human behavior that allows us to re-invent the familiar and to imagine the new. Computational Creativity (CC) is a recent but burgeoning area of creativity research that brings together academics and practitioners from diverse disciplines, genres and modalities, to explore the potential of computers to be autonomously creative or to collaborate as co-creators with humans. As a scientific endeavor, CC proposes that computational modeling can yield important insights into the fundamental capabilities of both humans and machines. As an engineering endeavor, CC claims that it is possible to construct autonomous software artifacts that achieve novel and useful ends that are deserving of the label "creative". Overall, the CC field seeks to establish a symbiotic relationship between these scientific and engineering endeavors, wherein the software artifacts that are produced are not only useful in their own right, but also serve as empirical tests of the adequacy of scientific theories of creativity. If sufficiently nurtured, the products of CC research can have a significant impact on many aspects of modern life, with particular consequences for the worlds of entertainment, culture, science, education, design and art. So that CC can achieve its potential as a future and emerging topic of research and technology development, a range of important coordination actions are needed to solidify and promote the field while engaging with neighboring disciplines. These include focused outreach to researchers in cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience, as well as to practitioners in musicology, literary theory/art theory, design theory, and pedagogy. The goal of the proposed coordinating action is to perform outreach to these related research communities, in a way that maintains the coherence of the CC field without diluting its core principles.

Cultural expression is not limited to architecture, monuments or collections of artifacts. It also includes fragile intangible live expressions, which involve knowledge and skills. Such expressions include music, dance, singing, theatre, human skills and craftsmanship.These manifestations of human intelligence and creativeness constitute our Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). ICH is at the same time traditional, contemporary and living, because it does not only refer to inherited knowledge but also to the renewal of contemporary cultural expressions. It refers to the past, to the present, and, certainly to the future and is the mainspring of humanity's cultural diversity. The main objective of i-Treasures is to develop an open and extendable platform to provide access to ICH resources, enable knowledge exchange between researchers and contribute to the transmission of rare know-how from Living Human Treasures to apprentices. To this end, the project aims to go beyond the mere digitization of cultural content. Its main contribution is the creation of new knowledge by proposing novel methodologies and new technological paradigms for the analysis and modelling of ICH. One of the main objectives of the proposal is the development of an appropriate methodology based on multisensory technology for the creation of information (intangible treasures) that has never been analyzed or studied before. High-level semantics will be extracted enabling researcher to identify possible implicit or hidden correlations between different ICH expressions or different interpretation styles of the same ICH and study the evolution of a specific ICH through its transmission from generation to generation or to other communities. Combining conventional learning procedures and advanced services, such as Singing Voice Synthesis and sensorimotor learning through an interactive 3D environment, i-Treasures is expected to break new ground in education and knowledge transfer of ICH.
