The creation of artificial super-structure in magnetic materials represents an excellent opportunity to modify their spectra of excitations and hence to design novel so called meta-materials with unforeseen properties, functionalities, and applications. Photonic, plasmonic, and phononic crystals and semiconductor superlattices are typical examples of exploitation of this concept for controlling light, acoustic wave and electron propagation and scattering in electronic and opto-electronic devices. However, the use of magnetic materials with periodically modulated properties offers two obvious additional benefits. Firstly, they facilitate creation of magnetic field controlled non-volatile electromagnetic devices. Secondly, they facilitate exploitation of the intrinsic excitations of magnetic materials – spin waves (magnons). Hence, significant international research efforts are now devoted to the areas of magneto-photonics and magnonics, respectively. The proposed academic exchange aims to establish and support multilateral transfer of knowledge and expertise among several European and international research teams striving to advance the aforementioned research fields.

European cattle domestication happens in the near east since the Neolithic period. From this region, Bos taurus domestic cattle extended the length and the breath of Europe and Africa always accompanying the human civilization in their expansions. Nowadays, cattle breeds are completely integrated in the national production systems of Egypt, Portugal and Spain. These breeds are the basis of high quality products strongly linked to the cultural heritage, and also to the endogenous rural development compatible with the economical growth in a globalized world. Cattle can be observed in the national agricultural policies as a strategic point; it has even been fully supported within the European context. This fact entails a genetic erosion of the specie, reducing the number of breeds and locating several more on the brink of extinction. This happens especially in Egypt and other countries of the region, where the governmental support of the local breeds is scarce, even if those are well adapted to hard environment, local diseases, autochthonous feeding resources, etc. FAO (2007) has been clear in the recommendations pointed out in the Interlaken Conference memorandum. Firstly we must stand out the relevance given to molecular tools in the characterization and management of Animal Genetic resources. Secondly, the demand of transference of knowledge among countries has been pointed out. It is very important to follow these recommendations by using routinely molecular tools, genetic relations among original breeds belonging to Egypt as proximal point to Bos taurus domestication, and the Iberian breeds located in the furthest geographical point in the evolution of the domestic cattle specie. We must create structures to work in cooperation projects among European countries and the near East, improving the cooperation among laboratories and the formation of human resources to take advantage of all the genomic information at structural, functional and epigenetic levels.

The huge number and diversity of the users, the advertising products and services, the rapid growth of online resources have imposed new challenges to the conventional search. Queries are becoming even more broad and complex essentially due to context of the search process (e.g. the system, user, language, the word and action meaning, socio-psychological dimensions, interface and interaction methods). Over the past three decades, the research in IAR had led to various search engine models, such as vector space and probabilistic models. Unfortunately there has been no comprehensive investigation at the theoretical level for effectively integrating elements of context to create advanced search technology. The key issue preventing such research is a lack of a unified theoretical framework to seamlessly integrate the dimensions of context into the search engine models and into the evaluation protocols. This proposal is hinged on the belief that the dimensions of context can be naturally integrated into a generic and fundamental framework. To address the challenges of the dimensions of context in IAR this proposal shows a new vision of the IAR paradigm based on Quantum Theory (QT). This proposal starts from Van Rijsbergen’s seminal book. QT allows to measure relevance and context via projection, and probability of relevance via the trace, to logically reason through lattice of document structures and links, to change context via unitary operators, to handle correlations dependencies as density operators, to represent composite, entangled documents and features for which classical correlations cannot straightforwardly be used. The work independently done so far for some years by the partners suggest that more effective results can be obtained only if the expertises are exchanged through a network which would allow the partners to work together and exchange a wide range of expertises which is hardly possessed by a single team.

The CA QUIE2T aims at strengthening and advancing the European scientific and technological excellence in the field of Quantum Information Foundations and Technologies (QIFT). To achieve this objective, QUIE2T will maintain and expand a set of high-quality coordination measures specifically designed for the QIPC research area. To this purpose the QUIE2T initiative is committed to setting up an ultimately sustainable research architecture and to promoting it at the European level. This architecture will be structured around a set of four Virtual Institutes (VIs), mapped to the major QIPC sub-domains as identified by the scientific and technological roadmap “Quantum Information Processing and Communication: Strategic report on current status, visions and goals for research in Europe” prepared by the QUIE2T predecessor QUROPE. Integration of the VIs is achieved by the execution of the QUIE2T Work-Packages’ activities which cut across all the VIs, and in particular by the elaboration of a common vision for the future of the whole QIFT field (and which will be reflected by the update of the aforementioned Strategic Report). In addition QUIE2T will have a proactive role in taking the first steps to ensure the future sustainability of the field. To guarantee that the expertise and the knowledge gained through the CA activities will be of benefit to the European QIFT community (both academic and industrial), QUIE2T will organize a set of activities to spread its results, achievements and excellence. In particular a public web site is one of the essential communication mechanisms towards the international QIPC community to present the CA and its Virtual Institutes. A set of QUIE2T publications will be accessible via this web site. The CA will also organize a set of thematic conferences on a bi-annual basis, targeting especially young researchers. Finally, a dedicated activity will target mainly industries in the field to ensure a strong interaction and involvement.

The Web has enabled information creation and dissemination, but has also opened the information floodgates. The enormous amount of information available has made it increasingly difficult to find, access, present and maintain the information required. As a consequence, we are drowning in information and starving for knowledge. New methods are required to manage and provide access to the world’s knowledge, for individual as well as collective problem solving. The right methods and tools for interconnecting people and accessing knowledge will contribute to solving these problems by making businesses more effective, scientists more productive and bringing governments closer to their citizens. Fortunately, current developments are helping us to achieve these goals. Originating from the Semantic Web effort, more and more interlinked information sources are becoming available online, leading to islands of networked knowledge resources and follow-up industrial interest. In addition, the Semantic Web infrastructure also has the potential to enable collective, collaborative production of knowledge, complementing existing islands. Our main objective for the next three years is to create the foundations for the creation of knowledge networks and collaboration infrastructure in a worldwide research network, which will support human capabilities and enable human-centric access to services and knowledge on a global scale

EBM CONNECT aims to harness the combined research expertise of several centres in evidence-based medicine or EBM. We will focus on development of state-of-the-art methodology for systematic reviews and practice guidelines in maternal health. These will be employed for improving research skills throughout the European Union and the developing world and for promoting effective healthcare through research based practice and policy. Not only will the centres benefit from staff exchange to develop their own research skills, this project will advance the frontiers in research synthesis. It will create the ability to conduct multinational projects and establish an electronic platform for research communication and collaboration. By establishing a worldwide agenda and a critical mass through the exchange, it will generate momentum that will allow development to continue thereafter. This is vital with reference to improving maternal health, as this is an area where disparity exists not only worldwide but also between EU member states. The exchange scheme will be based around three main objectives. First, to increase research skills through the sharing of each participant’s expertise. Second, to develop new methods for searching, quality assessment and meta-analysis to improve the standard of reviews and guidelines produced. This will include appraisal and adaptation of these reviews and guidelines to ensure they can be utilised widely within and outside the EU, including translation into Chinese and Spanish. Third, to establish a cutting edge research seminar series for widespread dissemination of the work. There are a number of elements that are integral to the strength of our proposal. We have well-established and internationally recognised generic expertise in evidence synthesis in maternal health, with highly qualified specialists in individual centres. We also have previous experience of multinational cooperation in researching and advancing evidence-based

The main goal of the present project is to put the theory of random matrices, random permutations and random walks in the context of the theory of integrable systems. This goal will be achieved by a significant progress in the theory of integrable systems and their perturbations, including its analytic, geometric and numerical aspects. Perturbative classification of integrable partial differential equations (PDEs) and their discrete analogues, various approaches to analytically constructing their exact solutions, the analysis of singular limits of important classes of solutions, the spectral geometry of Riemann surfaces, new asymptotic methods involving Painlev\&apos;e transcendents and theta-functions, efficient numerical approaches to solving dispersive PDEs, all these techniques will be developed and applied to the rigorous analysis of various types of models of the theory of random matrices.

Greenhouse gases (GHG) inventories contain ineluctable uncertainties, which cause serious difficulties: (1) The compliance with commitments to reduce GHG emissions is not solved, although for most countries the emission changes agreed on under the Kyoto Protocol are often smaller than the uncertainty in their estimated emissions. (2) Neither of the emission trading systems deals with the uncertainty of emissions estimates. Thus, decreasing inventory uncertainty is of paramount importance to its credibility, quality of compliance, and proper functioning of trading systems. The project aims in improving accuracy of the inventories in countries with differentiated regions and/or high coverage by forests, where the standard inventory procedures fail in producing high accuracy inventories. The proposed solution is to use spatially distributed inventories and more detailed forest modeling. This kind of inventory has been already compiled in Lviv Polytechnic for West Ukraine. It uses multilevel mathematical models, digital maps, georeferenced databases, and appropriate software. The objective is to develop similar spatial inventory of GHG emissions for Poland. To achieve the required spatial resolution, our method relies on statistical scaling models. Systems Research Institute contributes here with the expertise in statistical modelling. These methodologies will be novel in preparing GHG inventories. Further reduction of uncertainty is expected by modification and adaptation of the methodology for Ukrainian conditions, accounting schemes and models of verified full carbon account of forest ecosystems (FCA) developed by IIASA. Information background will be represented by a hybrid land cover as system integration of all available sources of information in GIS environment; with spatial resolution 1 km. Uncertainties of the FCA are considered in details. This methodology is expected to be applied in Poland as a next step of cooperation.

Synergies between European countries and Andean regions will deal for the revalorization of indigenous resources represented by Andean traditional foods. The aim of this project will be the construction of a network based on complementary competences between partners; fruitful exchange between researchers will be aimed by a common scientific project that will be the opportunity to an effective integration of involved groups. Countries from the Andean region are home to a wide range of natural resources, representing an important proportion of the Earth’s total biodiversity. Fluctuating altitude and topography produces countless micro-climatic variations these accounting for a high agricultural diversification. The achievement of multiple agronomic, ecological, economic, culinary and socio-cultural objectives constitutes a main concept in traditional Andean life. The great variety of food available in the Andes does not only provide nourishment, but also good health. In particular the project will focus on the rescue of ancestral Andean foods crops and cattle such as traditional fermented potatoes (Tocosh) and corn (Chicha de Jora) from Perú; fermented beverage Atole agrio “Xocoatolli” from Mexico; fermented milk products (suero costeño and queso Paipa) from Colombia and llama meat and quinoa-based fermented products from North-western Argentina. Scientific experience of the involved groups will be applied as a multidisciplinary approach, using advanced molecular techniques to identify the indigenous microbiota, capitalizing the technological and functional properties of the isolated strains.
