Our theme is the natural physical world from the marine, through the atmosphere to space. In this we create an extensive network of researchers on Ireland's western seaboard. This includes environmental and astronomical researchers based in NUI Galway, Ireland's Marine Institute and the Galway Altlantaquaria, Ireland’s National Aquarium. Between them they cover a broad range of research activities. Each organisation has a wide spread of contacts in the community through individual outreach programmes. Together they will show the extent and relevance of scientific research on Europe’s periphery. For night itself we will showcase through direct interaction between the public and scientists. To make this event different we have scientifically themed theatre and other artistic events. Galway is well positioned for this synergy having excellent EU and nationally funded research scientists and a lively arts community with street theatre, dance and music. When we combine these together we will have a memorable evening for promoting EU and nationally funded research. Through Researchers Night 2011 we will create a unique event with the vibrancy of the Galway Arts Festival and the impact fundamental science and technology. We shall show how the creative drive in science can be used to stimulate artistic activity. At the same artistic expression can be used to put science discoveries in a human context.

Reading’s Researchers‘ Night (RN) is inspired by the European-wide discussion in the media of the role and value of the arts and humanities in society. By showcasing the research theme in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH): ‘Language, Text and Power (LTP)’, Reading’s RN will make available to the wider public the importance and relevance of the arts and the humanities, showing them how this is used for ‘reading humanity’. The event will be hosted by FAH, which is well placed to take on the challenge posed by the debate by its unique combination of traditional academic and practical subjects, combined with a large number of museums and collections. Reading’s RN has as its objectives to raise public awareness and understanding of the arts and humanities; their profile within the local and national community; to open up new avenues of public engagement and income; and to showcase Reading as a European centre of excellence. Reading’s Museums and Special Collections play a central role in this. The RN will be aimed in the first place at the local community (young children, teenagers and prospective students and minorities). It will produce a series of interactive education packages for schools, community centres and local museums, which can be used alongside and after the RN, ensuring a continued engagement with the wider public. The RN will take place in 4 prominent locations in the city of Reading and on the University’s Campus. It will begin in the afternoon to enable children to take part. Throughout, there will be a strong presence of researchers from the Faculty, highlighting their research and the people and their personal interests. The evening will culminate in a reception including musical performances, entertainment and refreshments by researchers from FAH, demonstrating the many creative and varied talents of researchers outside their research expertise. Engaging with Europe and promoting European mobility is also an important aspect of the event.

Recent progress in physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) showed that active and safe workspace sharing becomes possible in principle. Inspired by these results, SAPHARI will perform a fundamental paradigm shift in robot development in the sense that we place the human as the centre of the entire design. We address all essential aspects of safe, intuitive physical interaction between humans and complex, human-like robotic systems in a strongly interconnected manner. While encompassing safety issues based on biomechanical analysis, human-friendly hardware design, and interaction control strategies, the project will develop and validate perceptive and cognitive key components that enable robots to track, understand and predict human motions in a weakly structured dynamic environment in real-time. Apart from developing the necessary capabilities for interactive autonomy, we will tightly incorporate the human safety also at the cognitive level. This will enable the robots to react or physically interact with humans in a safe and autonomous way. Biomechanical knowledge and biologically motivated variable compliance actuators will be used to design bimanual manipulation systems close to human properties and performance. Planning motions and tasks of such complex systems in real-time require new concepts, including tight coupling of control and planning, that lead to new reactive action generation behaviours. Moreover, self explaining interaction and communication frameworks will be developed to enhance the system usability. The project focuses on two industrial use cases that explicitly require contacts and force exchange in human-robot co-work, as well as on professional service scenarios in hospitals, in which a medical staff and an assisting robot interact closely during daily work. Results of this project are expected to strongly impact all applications where interactive robots can assist humans and release them from dangerous or routine tasks.

FLEXIBILTIY aims at significantly advancing the competitiveness of Europe in the area of multifunctional, ultra-lightweight, ultra-thin and bendable OLAE systems. The developed OLAE components include disposable and rechargeable batteries, solar cells, DC charging electronics, loudspeakers, audio amplifiers, analogue signal generators, motion and temperature sensors, RF receiver circuits, as well as a touch screen. By combination of these components, a variety of novel multifunctional OLAE systems is enabled. Based on a fully printed sound module, the following complex demonstrators are developed: • Textile integrated audio module including broadcast radio and solar supply • Active receiver tag for wireless streaming of acoustic data and advertising • Security tag system with acoustic alarm, motion and/or temperature sensors For the realisation of these systems, the advantages of several flexible OLAE technologies are combined, while keeping cost issues in mind: e.g. a) R2R printing offering ultra-low costs per area for components requiring large areas (e.g. loudspeaker, high-power audio amplifiers and solar cells), 3-D integration, as well as the integration of heterogeneous devices on one single substrate; and b) compact (down to 10 micrometer gate length), super-fast (> 200 MHz transit frequency, mobilities > 10 cm2/Vs), low-loss IGZO thin-film technology to enable wireless communication systems. To make efficient circuit development in standard CAD tools possible, design-kits including scalable models and automated layout templates are developed. Interface and packaging issues are studied for full system integration on a common flexible foil enabling bending radii down to 1 cm. FLEXIBILITY combines the complementary competences of 3 large companies, 4 SMEs, 1 research institute and 3 universities. Involved countries are Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Greece and Switzerland.

The CASMACAT project will build the next generation translator's workbench to improve productivity, quality, and work practices in the translation industry. We will carry out cognitive studies of actual unaltered translator behaviour based on key logging and eye tracking. The acquired data will be examined for how interfaces with enriched information are used, to determine translator types and styles, and to build a cognitive model of the translation process. Based on insights gained in the cognitive studies, we will develop novel types of assistance to human translators and integrate them into a new workbench, consisting of an editor, a server, and analysis and visualisation tools. The workbench will be designed in a modular fashion and can be combined with existing computer aided translation tools. We will develop new types of assistance along the following lines: (1) Interactive translation prediction, where the workbench makes suggestions to the human translator how to complete the translation. We will adapt the existing interactive machine translation paradigm by adding input modalities, especially electronic pens and basing the suggestions on better exploitation of novel statistical machine translation models. (2) Interactive editing, where the workbench provides additional information about the confidence of its assistance, integrates translation memories, and assists authoring and reviewing. (3) Adaptive translation models, where the workbench learns from the interaction with the human translator by updating and adapting its models instantly based on the translation choices of the user. We will demonstrate the workbench's effectiveness in extensive field tests at a translation agency. In addition, we will also reach out to the wider language service industry and online volunteer translation platforms. The outcome of the CASMACAT project will be made available as open source software to industry, academia, and to individual end users.

The 24-month T-AREA-SoS Support Action addresses ICT-2011.3.3, target outcome g) “to analyse international research agendas to prepare concrete joint R&D initiatives for international collaboration, particularly with the USA in the area of System of systems (SoS)”. The concept for this proposal is to exploit the established networks of the participants and associates (based in EU and US) including the extant activities they lead within the IEEE and INCOSE in the area of SoS to explore and evolve SoS R& D themes and priorites for FP7/FP8 and other international programmes that will lead to outcomes that address societal needs, with exemplars across a wide variety of sectors including non-traditional aspects of Energy, Transport, and Production, using Engineering of SoS (i.e. SoSE) as a mainstream discipline for the management of large complex systems. It is a basic premise of this proposal that SoS engineering includes, as a central component, the consideration of societal needs and issues within the management of large, socially-significant system of systems. It is also understood that SoSE is an emerging discipline that deals with ultra large systems that include many heterogeneous systems that may be independently owned and/or operated, distributed, evolutionary in nature and which exhibit emergent behaviours. The outputs from this Support Action will be a strategic research agenda that will create the environment for the development of concrete research initiatives through which the EU and the US which will collaborate to enhance existing research programmes and set the scene for future programmes. These outputs will be supported by an analysis of the state of the art and high level definition of research requirements in SoSE, and a thesaurus to enable concepts to be shared across industrial sectors and technical disciplines. Through the creation of a SoSE research agenda commonly agreed by EU and US stakeholders with initiatives to be embedded in future FP7/FP8 programmes the aim of this proposal to increase European competitiveness in, and improve the societal impact of, the development and management of large complex systems in a range of sectors.

The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowledge. Well-coordinated scientific research and socio-economic analysis will be applied at a wide-ranging scale, from basin to coastal. The new knowledge will advance our understanding on the selection and application of the appropriate descriptors and indicators of the MSFD. New tools will be developed in order to evaluate the current environmental status, by way of combining monitoring and modelling capabilities and existing observational systems will be upgraded and extended. Moreover, PERSEUS will develop a concept of an innovative, small research vessel, aiming to serve as a scientific survey tool, in very shallow areas, where the currently available research vessels are inadequate. In view of reaching Good Environmental Status (GES), a scenario-based framework of adaptive policies and management schemes will be developed. Scenarios of a suitable time frame and spatial scope will be used to explore interactions between projected anthropogenic and natural pressures. A feasible and realistic adaptation policy framework will be defined and ranked in relation to vulnerable marine sectors/groups/regions in order to design management schemes for marine governance. Finally, the project will promote the principles and objectives outlined in the MSFD across the SES. Leading research Institutes and SMEs from EU Member States, Associated States, Associated Candidate countries, non-EU Mediterranean and Black Sea countries, will join forces in a coordinated manner, in order to address common environmental pressures, and ultimately, take action in the challenge of achieving GES.

LifeSaver aims at supporting manufacturing companies in optimising the energy performance of their operations. This support will be in the form of a set of ICT building blocks that combine context awareness, ambient intelligence monitoring and standard energy consumption data measurement. LifeSaver will provide: (i) comprehensive information about the energy consumption to be processed in enterprise management systems, for the purpose of achieving significant energy savings; (ii) a knowledge-based decision support system for optimisation of energy performance of operations; and (iii) appropriate (almost) online and predicted cumulative data on the CO2 emissions, as input for the decision support services to enable emission trading across industries and among companies. Nowadays manufacturing processes are increasingly complex and flexible, leading to highly dynamic energy usage patterns. To cope with such dynamics of energy patterns and to enable an efficient energy management in manufacturing processes, LifeSaver will complement currently measured energy consumption data with diverse information from ambient intelligent systems (e.g. interactions between human operators and machines or processes) and process-related measurements (e.g. temperature of a specific machine). The main objective is to enrich energy consumption data with information about the context in which the use actually occurred. This will enable LifeSaver’s building blocks to access and process more complete information to target energy efficiency optimisation. Three demonstrators of the platform’s application in real industrial environment, and their usage for new business models, will be provided.
