The emergence of eating disorders and obesity as major health concerns increased research in these fields. However, impressive advances in neurobiology, genetics and sociology of eating had minor clinical or sociological impact. In obesity, pharmacological interventions have failed and while life-style interventions seem moderately successful, they are embedded in specific social contexts. In the field of eating disorders traditional interventions have poor results and high levels of relapse. Our central assumption, validated in randomized control trials, is that supervised training of patients to eat and move in a non-pathological way is effective in the prevention of both eating disorders and obesity. The logical next step is to apply the same kind of methodologies to the general population, in real life by combining expertise in identifying and modifying behavioural patterns with current technical advancements in the fields of sensors and intelligent systems. SPLENDID aims to develop a Personalised Guidance System to help and train children and young adults to improve their eating and activity behaviour by detecting subjects at risk for developing obesity or eating disorders and offering them enhanced monitoring and guidance in order to prevent further disease progression. To this end it will monitor key parameters of eating and activity, such as food intake, meals structure, snacking, daily physical activity during real life; evaluate in real-time and offer guidance towards recommended behaviours. Four studies in Sweden and Netherlands will evaluate:(i)a screening programme conducted at school settings during daily meals, with the aim to assess the children’s eating behaviour, and (ii)the capability of the system to offer correct and effective guidance on eating/activity behaviour. The incorporation of a school, a healthcare provider and a technology provider in the consortium maximises the potential for successful business model definition and exploitation.

Adapting Service lifeCycle towards EfficienT (ASCETiC) is focused on providing novel methods and tools to support software developers aiming to optimise energy efficiency and minimise the carbon footprint resulting from designing, developing, deploying, and running software in Clouds. At the same time, quality of service, experience and perception will still be taken Into account, so energy efficiency will complement them and boost cloud efficiency at several dimensions. This project focuses on Cloud services made of several shared software components, which are likely to be used and reused many times in many different applications. The major contribution to the carbon footprint of Cloud services is the energy consumed in its operation, thus the primary aim of ASCETiC is to relate software design and energy use, which will depend on the deployment conditions and the correct operation of the service by means of an adaptive environment. The project has the following main objectives: a) Development of models for green and efficient software design, supporting sustainability and high quality of service levels at all stages of software development and execution; b) Development and evaluation of a framework with identified energy efficiency parameters and metrics for Cloud services; c) Development of methods for measuring, analysing, and evaluating energy use in software development and execution, complementing quality measures; d) Energy and quality efficiency integration into service construction, deployment, and operation leading to an Energy Efficiency Embedded Service Lifecycle. ASCETiC will result in an implementation of an open-source Cloud stack providing energy efficiency at software, platform, and infrastructure layers. We will provide incremental versions of ASCETiC with respect to energy efficiency, approaching the problem in three levels: static, intra-layer and inter-layer adaptation. We will demonstrate the ASCETiC solution in two commercial use cases.

This project will deliver a modular software platform that will enable SMEs in the localisation industry to leverage open language resources published by public bodies. This platform will bootstrap a commercially sustainable localisation process that allows SME Language Service Providers (LSPs) to continuously reuse the output of web content translation projects. By integrating these outputs with language resources from public bodies, SME LSPs can easily and cheaply optimise and tailor open source machine translation and automated terminology extraction components to the needs of their customers. Today, the curation of parallel text involves the publication of the undifferentiated results of translation projects in differing formats or via centralised repositories. This restricts SMEs in leveraging these resources to train machine translation engines to match incoming translation projects. FALCON will enable the controlled sharing and reuse of language resources, combining open corpora from public bodies with richly annotated output from commercial translation projects. Federated access control will enable sharing and reuse of commercial resources while respecting business partnerships, client relationships, competitive and licensing concerns. Fine grained traceability language resource reuse will enable return on investment calculations on resource curation in public bodies and SME LSPs alike. The consortium combines academic expertise in localisation interoperability, linked data management, statistical machine translation and statistical parsing with SMEs offering services and solutions for translation and terminology management. This project will enable the language service industry to realise its potential as a major sources of shared linked data by measurably improving cost, speed and quality benefits of reuse. The consortium members will then be strongly placed to commercially exploit these benefits.

ALIADA (ally in Spanish, female genre) will automatize the publication in the Linked Open Data cloud of open data hosted by different Library or Collection Management Software. ALIADA will support the whole life cycle of reuse of multilingual open data from public bodies, initially the ones in the consortium, providing a usable and open source tool that automatize the selection, publication and linking of datasets in the Linked Data Cloud by the ALIADA users: IT staff, documentalists, curators and librarians in institutions that own datasets managed by library and/or museum management software. ALIADA will be an open source plugin for the library or collection management software, initially for the ones developed by the SMEs in the consortium and already installed in the public bodies, opening the SMEs’ market to new business opportunities. Usability in ALIADA solution will be a key aspect, as the final users will have little or no experience in Linked Data technologies and processes. Librarians are used to manage the collections, they are responsible of, using Library or Collection Management Software that follows norms such as MARC21 and LIDO resulting in high quality annotations. The collection and library software is focused on facilitating the cataloguing fiche entering / consult but, although following a worldwide accepted norm and vocabularies, the databases are proprietary and lock free access. These proprietary solutions hamper the interoperability between different vendors of Library or Collection Management Software and when accessed by external applications that wish to make innovative use of such rich formal data, act as a barrier when opening the data to the world and to innovative SMEs that wish to exploit the possibilities of such information. ALIADA will make possible libraries and museums interoperability, so they can share their collections and offer them to the general public, by means of the linked open data cloud, allowing new interaction experiences for the general public that now will have access to data historically locked in the institutions that host it and as side effect enriching the existing open data, providing new possibilities to innovative SMEs that wants to make use of the published open data and the open source tool to be delivered: ALIADA.

Multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) is a well-established method for investigating the function of the human brain, but, despite continuous advancements in signal amplification and data processing, difficult and error-prone signal acquisition on the head surface is still a major issue limiting its employment in basic and clinical research. The ANDREA project will develop a novel dry electrode EEG system with adjustable cap network provided with an automated sensor positioning mechanism, active preamplification and a SW toolbox for artefacts removal. The novel technologies address the requirements of high signal quality and reliability, mobility, high patient/subject comfort and long-term use, and will be validated in clinical and non clinical populations to produce a prototype optimized for broad EEG employment. To achieve these objectives, the ANDREA consortium 1) merges the complementary expertise and resources in biomedical engineering, material science, biomedical signal processing, neuroscience and clinical neurology available at 3 academic and 2 commercial (industry and health) partners from 3 EU countries, and 2) realizes an extensive intersectoral transfer of knowledge through staff exchange, training courses, schools, and the recruitment of experienced researchers with supplementary expertise from outside the consortium. The international mobility and the planned dissemination/outreach activities will contribute to the sharing of different cultures and knowledge with the scientific community, and to promote a broader communication on the importance of research in biomedical engineering to the society at large. The tight scientific collaboration and the transfer of knowledge among partners will enhance the research capacity and competitiveness of the ANDREA consortium, which will become a permanent EU research network promoting health technology in Europe, with great benefits for the European biomedical industries, health care systems and societies.

EINSTEIN addresses the scientific and technical challenges related to the optimization of energy efficiency in existing buildings. This is achieved through the development of a new innovative modular simulation-based building control system. This has the ability to: (i) exploit real-time holistic building simulation (integrated with diverse building systems), (ii) directly enable automated control actions of a building and its surroundings (adaptively) and (iii) provide considerable energy savings to the building (by an optimized algorithm). EINSTEIN will formulate and integrate a number of new control strategies to be used with the simulation-based building control system to provide the building manager with the optimum energy efficiency solutions for their building and its use by its occupants. It will not only eradicate errors between ‘as-built’ and ‘as-designed’ conditions but also include predictive analysis with respect to how the building will perform, taking into account future weather predictions and occupant use. The control strategies will be tested and validated on a number of existing buildings

European and Southeast Asian ICT R&D collaboration has a successful and long history, but opportunities exist to create more synergies, leverage and value added. In order to secure higher and sustainable impacts, we propose to implement an intensified targeted support at the appropriate scale, involving EU and SEA Research, Development and Innovation knowledge networks, clusters and their organisations: a structured bottom up - top down approach helping to create synergies between research and innovation programmes in the EU and the SEA region and create sustainable strategic partnerships. The action will pave the way for jointly addressing important societal challenges and core technologies, at the research, innovation and policy levels under HORIZON2020 and relevant SEA regional and national programmes. Within this context, and building on the results and lessons learnt from the previous collaborative actions, the project has a three-fold objective: (1) To support internationalisation of European and SEA ICT-related research, development and innovation knowledge networks, technology platforms, clusters, organisations in the topics of common interest, in order to foster ICT RDI collaboration; (2) To promote Horizon 2020 and to reinforce synergies between the EU and ASEAN research development and innovation programmes; (3) To enrich and support EU-SEA ICT R&D policy dialogue, by supporting policy initiatives, summarising feedback from collaborative experience and proposing recommendations to reinforce EU-SEA ICT RDI collaboration. Specialists from EU and SEA knowledge networks - ETPs, Networks of Excellence, clusters, projects, organisations - will be invited to participate in the internationalisation process with their counterparts working on similar strategic topics and societal challenges. The CONNECT2SEA fund distributed via a call for participants will support the establishment of new collaborations. The project will contribute to promotion of Horizon2020 and collaboration opportunities. Pilot actions will be implemented, to support policy initatives. The feedback will contribute to policy recommendations.

TRIGGER aims at promoting systemic interventions designed to have deep, long lasting and widespread impacts at all the different levels in 5 research organisations. The project, coordinated and co-funded by the Italian Government, assisted by an institute specialised in gender and science, involves as co-funders five universities from different EU countries (Czech Republic, France, Italy, UK, Spain). Building on the results of earlier projects, integrated actions will be implemented at each university addressing different sides of gender inequality in science, i.e.: 1) Working environment, formal/informal culture and explicit/tacit rules (awareness-raising; collection of gender-sensitive data; support in the early stages of scientific careers; promotion of work-life balance, etc.). 2) Content and methods of scientific research, to acknowledge its gender dimension and impact (updating of teaching curricula; gendering the design of research and technological innovation; allocation of funds for gendered research; contrasting stereotypes about women in science, etc.). 3) Scientific leadership at different levels (selection procedures and criteria for the evaluation of scientific merit; introduction of equality targets in decision making bodies; enhancement of women researchers’ visibility, etc.). Each of the 5 involved partners have designed and will carry out a tailored action plan including measures related to all 3 sides, whose relative weight depends on their specific characteristics, situations and needs. TRIGGER will be characterised by integration, customisation, systematic nature, concreteness. Public debate and awareness will be generated on these issues Europe-wide. Added value will be yielded both on the strategic level, by the strong focus on gendering research, and on the operational level, through fostering mutual learning among partners and among the different European structural change projects, giving birth to an Integrated Model.

In the fluid environment of the junction between FP7 and HORIZON 2020, the EAST HORIZON Support Action, brought forward by a balanced mixture of European Strategic Consulting companies, IT Industry, EECA National Research and Governmental Organizations, comes as a bridge for a two-way cooperation between the EECA and the EU. It will inspire ideas, influence policies, and launch actions to: Support the Dialogue between EU and EECA countries Raise awareness, help networking EECA organizations for participating in EU R&D and EU organizations participate in EECA R&D Programs. Matching EECA Societal Challenges, ICT R&D and Industrial Priorities to HORIZON 2020 concepts, EAST HORIZON, after validating results from previous related projects, will focus on new elements introduced by H2020 and the current frame of policy Dialogue between EU and EECA countries and bring concrete ideas and arguments to the Dialogue between the EC and EECA countries, in the perspective of a coherent ICT R&D cooperation policy. The project will raise awareness by focused events where a deep insight of all relevant EU ICT R&D Frameworks will be provided; reciprocally it will gather feedback on EECA R&D Programs for enabling EU organizations participate in them. The project will create a dense grid of relevant players on the two sides (ICT researchers, IT Associations, Companies, ETPs, Knowledge Networks and Policy makers) in a balanced way so as to maximize research collaboration, in parallel promoting innovation. This will shape new or strengthen existing business links between the EU and EECA IT Industries and Academia/Institutes. A permanent communication and collaboration platform, an environment where all ICT Research players meet and work together to raise ideas for joint Research projects will be established. The platform, linked to similar platforms, will be transferred to EECA stakeholders at project end, for achieving sustainability of collaboration mechanisms built under EAST HORIZON.
