BRASINOEU aims to study the translocation and nanosafety issues of engineered metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs).The new scientific and technology developments of nanotechnology require a deeper knowledge of the effects of nanotechnology based products on human health. This knowledge is fundamental for the development of nanotechnology and to achieve its full acceptance. The concept of “safe by design” is based on the application of nanosafety to design the nanomaterials in order to prevent or reduce their possible harm to humans and the environment. The project encompass the synthesis of metal oxide NPs, with a focus on magnetic oxides, their surface modification and post modification in biological fluids; immunological and genotoxicity studies, and translocation studies both “in vitro” and “in vivo”. The project will seek to establish relationships between designed NP properties and their translocation at cellular and body level as well as their immune- and genotoxic response. This is a fundamental issue for the safe design of NPs. Also, the toxicological response will be studied as a function of the uptake dose of NPs. At cellular level a battery of techniques will be applied for localization and quantification of NPs: Transmission Electron Microscopy, Raman, Confocal Microscopy, Ion Beam Microscopy, etc. Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be employed for biodistribution and quantification studies in animal models. BRASINOU is formed by an international team with the required and complementary expertise to address the proposed work from an international and multidisciplinary perspective. The project gathers internationally recognized groups in immunology, genotoxicity, nanoparticle synthesis, surface chemistry, biophysics, imaging and materials science. The complementary of the groups involved in the project will help to develop new highly skilled professional and scientific horizontal connections.

CrossingBoundaries aims to develop, through a programme of staff exchange, a new international & multi-disciplinary research community working in exploring the processes, challenges & implications on innovation performance of knowledge & technology transfer across national boundaries. This research community will focus particularly in addressing five research questions: 1. Who are the actors involved in the process of knowledge & technology transfer for the purposes of innovation across national boundaries? 2. What are the processes of knowledge & technology transfer across national boundaries & how do these differ according to the actors involved? 3. How do contextual factors (such as institutional divergence, cultural differences & geographic distance) influence the processes of knowledge & technology transfer across national boundaries? 4. How do organisational factors (such as technological capabilities, & the absorptive capacity of the firm) influence the processes of knowledge & technology transfer across national boundaries? 5. What are the implications for policy & policy transfer for innovation? The programme will contribute in the development of theoretical constructs in addressing the five research questions above, & provide an evidence base drawn from the experience of the countries involved in CrossingBoundaries that could be used to inform future research & policy. The proposed project will also develop country case studies that explore specific aspects (territorial, organisational and policy) aspects of these issues. An important aim of the programme is to create an enduring partnership and future collaborative research. This will be achieved in two ways. Firstly, the development of cross institutional doctoral supervision partnerships that will develop new researchers (augmenting the research community). Secondly, the involvement of the partner institution’s research and international officers in the programme of exchanges.

Structural determination of complex chemical compounds is a difficult task and involves the combined use of several tools rooted in different physical principles, many of them classify like spectroscopies as they involve interaction between molecules and electromagnetic radiation We propose a research program based in 3 major topics in configurational and conformational molecular elucidation. The 1 is centered in nuclear magnetic resonance (wp1), principally involving preparation and testing of novel NMR alignment media and the development of new software for structural analysis automation procedures. Shape-persistent acetylenic macrocycles and polyaromatic structures can provide ordered systems in which constitution, physical properties, and chemical reactivity can be controlled in exquisite detail. Thus in WP2 synthesis and structural elucidation of π-conjugated systems tailored to exhibit specific properties will be addressed involving information gathered from NMR, chiroptical and electrochemical analyses. The 3 topic focuses on the analysis of chiroptical properties (WP3): ORD, ECD and VCD data will be used with the help of quantum mechanics not only for conformational and configurational characterization in combination with NMR, but also to elucidate the origin of the observed chirality InTECHSE will offer a unique opportunity for the synthetic chemists to learn basic aspects of structural information obtained by magnetic and optical spectroscopies in which experimental measurements are colligated with theoretical calculations. Theoretical chemists will benefit from the possibility of designing together with the synthetic chemists systems for gaining understanding on the mechanisms responsible of chiroptical responses and appropriated methodologies for structural characterization. The expected outcome of this collaborative research is a new set of protocols ready for the use of the synthetic organic chemists in the structural determination of complex structure

This project aims to examine the role of social work and its engagement with civil society in supporting vulnerable members of the community. It will examine the relationship within the context of social welfare reform in response to neoliberal reform and new public management initiatives. Social work provides an important role in civil society of protecting, supporting and advocating for societies vulnerable members. Whilst there is an agreed international definition of social work, the practice, structure and socio-political support for the profession varies internationally. The values, training and structure of the profession require social work to question how it should best service citizens through advocacy, promoting social cohesion, developing social capital and supporting broader public health for individual and communities. These services previously enjoyed support due to progressive policies aimed at reducing poverty, social inequality and social exclusion. They are however increasingly being subject to pressures of marketisation, austerity and statutory intervention, many of which may be impacting negatively on the profession. The structure of the profession and social welfare services, the role and changes across international and cultural boundaries and engagement with civil society in this regard is under researched, with few opportunities for the development of international researchers. The project involves EU and associated countries that are undergoing significant social and economic change, namely England, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, whilst non EU countries, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are newly advanced economic development countries. Through the development and co-ordination of trans-continental researchers it will enhance the understanding, knowledge base and develop models of global sustainable social welfare service delivery.

The explosive evolution of information and communication technologies enables online social networking (OSN) systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc, to connect active users of similar interests, conversing with one another and forming virtual communities. Nowadays the social networks are increasingly accessed via mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks (MSNs). A few interesting research and development results about MSNs have been reported in the literature. The majority of them, however, focus on user applications running on mobile devices and pay little attention to the underlying mobile communication networks. Since the underlying wireless networks play an equally important role in the success of OSN systems, MSNs are regarded in this proposal as a marriage of the traditional wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless communication networks. The overall objective of this project is to cross-fertilise and share ideas in order to accelerate the development, transfer and deployment of research knowledge between EU countries and China in the field of MSNs. The staff exchange and knowledge transfer will focus on research and development of efficient MSNs. This research advocates the amalgamation of both divisions of MSNs, i.e., social computing and social networks at the application layer and mobile wireless communication networks at the lower layers. This results in the need for cross-layer information exchange to create a new vision of MSNs that can be tailored to benefit network providers, content providers and end users. It is envisaged that this staff exchange programme will help foster long-lasting collaboration between partners in the field of MSNs and develop a common base of knowledge and a research platform that can be used to set-up future joint research projects. CLIMBER personnel benefits from opportunities to move between institutions in Europe and in China, so as to exchange ideas, share best practice and make use of specialist facilities.

This multidisciplinary exchange program aims to achieve at the same time one and variegated vision of disguise practices, concerning sonic events. It is our belief that an explanation of such issues would enable to cast new light on what we consider one of the most founding elements of every cultural process: the ritual aspect. Methodological relevance this project conveys in comparing different disciplines and praxis has got the task of giving a stable basis to the interpenetration of Ethnomusicology and Historical Musicology, with connections to Clinical Psychology and Anthropology. We will move along two metodological lines: one attentive to the "context" and the other to "text" of the phenomenon of crossdressed musicians in Morocco. The programme has 2 Work Packages. WP 1 (‘Searching for materials and documents in archives, libraries; fieldworks in the places’) will develop of the systematic searches that would lead up to a common result, both theoretical and practical, on musical phenomena involving ritual and cultural levels like disguise practice. WP 2 (‘Analysis of the material collected’) will be also produced audio-video, iconographical materials and texts acquisition and digitalization, and their cataloguing to preserve and make these realizable and shareable with a most wide audience of researchers and students. Each package combines senior and junior researchers in research training, sharing knowledge and research development. Knowledge generated will benefit the final publications of the result of the research, an important place will be that of the multimedia; they will be important tools to study the events connected to sound and fieldwork, the construction of ethnographic documents using new technology. The research products appear of extreme importance both to implementing of specific Musicology and Ethnography methodologies and to sharing reflections about the sense of identity and belonging in ancient and modern traditions.

Neoliberal ideologies applied in city politics can be portrayed as key aspects for the progressive and often conflictive transformations of urban space today. Such transformations do not exclusively apply to the political sphere – neoliberalism has also affected the habits of how people imagine, perceive and appropriate urban spaces in their daily life. Cities play a strategic role in the variegated geographies of neoliberalism, but relatively little research critically assessed the challenges citizenship faces in neoliberal societies. The interdisciplinary exchange programme CONTESTED_CITIES will tackle this gap – it investigates the discourses and practices of contest and re-appropriation of urban space, thus providing a novel understanding of how opposition against neoliberal urban development is being re-framed in the course of the current financial and economic crisis. It will bring together scientists from European and Latin American universities to discuss some of the striking consequences of urban neoliberalism and the resistance originated in different geographical backgrounds. By applying innovative qualitative methodologies such as reflexive photography and other visual accounts, the project aims at providing theoretical advances within citizenship studies and urban geography as well as at producing new empirical insights to the consequences of recent urban policies. Within an interdisciplinary network to analyse and compare urban policies, gentrification and contestation in Europe and Latin America, the exchange programme creates additionally the conditions to introduce policy transfer by learning from Latin American cities - which have experienced for decades urban conflict and highly innovative urban solutions - as laboratories of social change, and to create a theoretical background that overcomes existing lacunas between urban debates in the English, and the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking literature.
