AMEDEO is a multi-disciplinary design optimisation (MDO) research training network designed to provide outstanding leadership career development for talented young researchers. Network training incorporates advanced multi-disciplinary optimisation, high fidelity simulation tools and techniques for resolving complex engineering design problems in the aerospace industry. It is complemented by a comprehensive package of generic skills training and career-enhancing secondments throughout the network. The secondments, training events and focused research projects combine to offer a unique platform upon which the researchers can build rewarding and high-impact careers. There is currently an acute skills shortage in MDO and this is exacerbated by the fact that MDO is not routinely taught in universities and no single organisation has the breadth of skills needed to develop the next generation of MDO specialists. The AMEDEO network focuses on the key research training challenges of providing the EU’s aerospace industry with a new generation of MDO researchers capable of providing the radical innovations needed to improve the energy efficiency and reduce emissions from aircraft, at reduced timescales and costs. The importance and timeliness of training a new generation of researchers in MDO for the aerospace industry is clearly stated in the recent EU Flightpath 2050 document which describes its strategic importance to preserving Europe’s lead in an increasingly competitive international industry that makes an annual EURO 220 billion contribution to the EU economy and provides 4.5 million jobs. Strong private sector involvement in the network, from both SMEs and global aerospace industry leaders, demonstrates the commitment of Europe's leading aerospace companies to the AMEDEO network and to its ability to form an excellent example of the type of enduring technological, scientific and industrial leadership cluster that has been called for in the Flightpath 2050 document.

Engineering for future mobility must be inspired by ecology and economy to enable green and silent vehicles. Current university based education is focusing on classical fields like mechanical engineering on one side with some aspects of Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) and LightWeight Design (LWD) or like electrical engineering covering aspects of “Electrification” & “Hybridisation” on the other side. The proposed eLiQuiD project (Best Engineering Training in Electric, Lightweight and Quiet Driving) aims to bring together early stage researchers and experienced specialists from key players in academia and industry across Europe covering NVH, LWD and H/E disciplines to form a broad range of backgrounds. Recent research underlines the strong interaction and shows the often conflicting demands of these 3 topics. Consequently, an optimum for future vehicle development requires an interdisciplinary education in this triangle of topics. eLiQuiD’s focus is to motivate and encourage early stage researchers for scientific work in the new interdisciplinary research fields NVH+LWD, LDW+H/E and H/E+NVH. The fellows will be trained and supported in their phase of doctoral thesis to find innovative PhD topics as well as to receive specific education in theoretical and practical trainings. The education will comprise existing lectures in the partner network as well as training specifically developed for the interdisciplinary needs. eLiQuiD is formed by two participating hosts, combining leading education and research institutions as well as an associated partner, well established in European automotive R&D, to assist in the dissemination and outreach or eLiQuiD results. Thus the engineers will participate in both the scientific research work and the practical application of new methods of testing and simulation. They will profit from extended international knowledge after their academic education when starting to work in the industry.

ARTISAN programme is founded on the expertise of the two renowned research groups at QUB and Bell Labs. Its primary goal is to train RF technology researchers to PhD level in the area of wireless infrastructure hardware. ARTISAN capitalises on the partner strengths – QUB’s research excellence in the fundamental RF technologies and Bell Labs Ireland’s strong track record in exploiting innovations to create novel RF hardware architectures. This alliance will produce researchers who will give European industry the capabilities to invent and commercialize RF innovations needed for existing and future wireless systems to meet explosive demand in telecommunications. Central to the training programme are the four research projects to investigate and implement innovative architectures, circuit designs and technologies for high-performance RF front-ends. These core areas include: - multiband power amplifier architectures; - adaptive multiband antennas with tailored radiation characteristics; - electrically tunable electrochromic materials and substrates; - passive intermodulation mitigation in passive and tunable components. The resulting flexible, low cost RF hardware solutions will aid the development of the next generation of wireless systems and cater for the efficient re-use of the existing spectrum in small-cell deployments. QUB and Bell Labs will jointly deliver annual training events including general and specialist courses and workshops relevant to the ESRs’ personal development and research. Leading external experts will be invited as visiting researchers to contribute to the research and training activities. ARTISAN is the first research collaboration between Bell Labs and QUB which creates potential for training researchers, technology innovation, future lasting joint research activity and commercial exploitation.

AccliPhot is an interdisciplinary, intersectorial research and training network devoted to study photosynthetic acclimation processes in plants and algae. We will train 13 early-stage researchers (ESRs) and 1 experienced researcher (ER) in cutting-edge experimental technologies, modern modelling approaches, industrial applications and a wide spectrum of complementary and industry-relevant skills. In the frame of our research goal to obtain a systems-wide understanding of photosynthetic acclimation processes and their consequences at the organism and population levels, individual research projects and targeted secondments will expose the ESRs to intense interdisciplinary collaborations wielding complementary experimental and theoretical approaches to study photosynthetic acclimation across various scales of biological organisation. Projects will investigate signalling pathways that respond to environmental changes, electron transport chain activity, photosynthetic metabolism and growth of plants and algal populations using four organisms. Fundamental research uncovering novel mechanisms will be performed in Arabidopsis and Chlamydomonas. New knowledge will be applied to the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, which will be subject to industrial research for the biotechnological production of biofuels. With complementary competences acquired in specialised workshops, the ESRs trained in our network will emerge as highly qualified scientists experienced in interdisciplinary collaborations. Exposure to research in the private sector and training in an industrial environment will stimulate their creativity and enhance their entrepreneurial spirit, thus optimising their perspectives on the European job market in academia, industry and beyond. Our research activities will have a long-term impact supporting the optimisation of crop productivity and the development of cost-effective strategies for algal biofuel production.

This proposal aims to raise awareness of the prominent role researchers and their work play in our everyday life. The extensive and nationwide range of activities already planned and being prepared have one major aim: to show that researchers are ordinary people with extraordinary jobs! This will be done through direct engagement of both the general public and researchers in science awareness activities, across the streets of 22 main cities and villages. Coordinated by Ciência Viva (Lisbon), there is a regional coordinator in each NUTS II region in Portugal. The role of each regional coordinator is to mobilize the research community, local companies and associations, as well as regional/local press. This is an inclusive proposal welcoming all interested research-related entities. The key message agreed between partners and all associated/participating entities is that we all should take up this opportunity to bring research close to the people and not only expect that people come to a specific venue. Outdoor activities will be organized in partnership with municipalities/regional authorities as an added value of their service and a way to show the richness existing in each territory. In parallel, a very diverse range of edutainment indoor activities is planned (see Annex I) and more are on the making.

The global navigation market (products and services) is expected to grow to more than 160 billion EUR revenue by 2015 with significant growth being driven by mobile terminals. The pillars of the future wireless society will be the trustworthiness of the wireless positioning device (e.g., what user can get in terms of location integrity, availability, privacy) and eco-friendliness of the transmission-reception process (e.g., long battery life, energy saving devices, high levels of integration, low interference to others). These are triggered by the user needs, preferences and targeted applications, and by the type of the environment where navigation takes place. A link is still missing between these user needs/environment awareness (or application layer) and the physical layer where the wireless device is actually designed. It is our belief that the missing link can be created by cognitive approaches, borrowed on one hand from cognitive human behavior, and on the other hand from cognitive computing. Building a cognition stage between the application and physical layers would create a myriad of new possibilities for flexible location-based services and positioning-based applications, and possibly a new paradigm in wireless location research. MULTI-POS will bridge the gap between the lower technology layer and upper application layer involved in wireless mobile location. In addition, MULTI-POS will offer comprehensive training to young fellows in the broad field of wireless location, will create novel technologies and business models for the future location-enabled wireless devices, will promote the exchange of fellows in mixed academic-industrial R&D trajectories and in multiple European cultures, and will initiate an educational and research framework that unifies the currently fragmented research activities on technological and applications aspects of wireless navigation. There is strong involvement of industrial partners in the network to accomplish this.

The Marine, Atmospheric and Astronomical sciences readily lend themselves to promoting science and the role of researchers to the general public. In 2011 we had a very successful Researchers Night with over 10,000 attendees and publicity which reached at least half a million people both locally and nationally. Building upon this success we would like in 2012 to extend our activity to link with Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork and to participate in the 2012 City of Science Dublin. Given our success last year we do not want to change our approach albeit learning from some of the problems we encountered last year. This year the look of the event will be different and designed to encourage as much participation as possible.
