The objective of this project is to setup and strengthen international collaborations in the field of 'multiscale modelling for fracture'. The scientific goal is to get a better understanding of how materials fail and to develop better predictive tools for Engineering applications. This requires the combination of knowledge from different areas, i.e. Computational Mechanics, Computational Material Science and Experimental Testing. The partners ideally complement their associated expertise. The European partners have an extensive experience on modelling material failure on the continuum level while the Indian partner has focused on atomistic simulations for several years. The partner from South Africa complements the project with his experience in experimental testing. Our associated partner from the US is one of the most famous researchers in the field of Computational Mechanics and Modelling Material Failure. The project is divided into five work packages(including the management work package) that bridges three different length scales from micro-scale over meso-scale to macro-scale. The goal is to develop effective multi-scale methods to model fracture on these three different scales and to apply the methods to composite materials. Therefore, three work packages are devoted to develop the theoretical framework and its extension to composite materials. The fourth work package aims to close the gap and validate the numerical results through experiments. We believe to significantly push forward the state of the art in that field with the proposed collaboration.

The most important objective of the project is to strengthen the research and didactic potential of researchers, particularly early stage researchers employed by universities acceding to the project. Owing to training, seminars, and research, the researchers will acquire new experience in the field of processing of advanced thermoplastic polymer composites by means of machines with screw plasticizing systems of innovative and original design. The staff exchange as well as the synergy and the mutual complementation will contribute to the transfer of knowledge between the individual partners, i.e. between European Union research centres and a third country university in Ukraine taking part in the project. Work will be implemented in four Work Packages. Each partner will be responsible for one issue. Single screw extrusion of thermoplastic composites will be conducted at the Lublin University of Technology (Poland), while twin screw extrusion – at the West Saxon University of Applied Science in Zwickau (Germany). Actions connected with injection moulding will be carried out at the Technical University of Kosice (Slovakia). Experiments on the properties of thermoplastic composites will be performed at the Lviv Polytechnic National University (Ukraine). The expected results include: knowledge transfer, improving the qualifications of staff members, initiating and strengthening cooperation at a high scientific and technological level, and defining the vision of the further development of research on extrusion and injection moulding of advanced materials and the design of plasticizing systems in single- and twin-screw extruders, which should result in new research projects. In consequence, a permanent, long-term collaboration with Ukraine will be developed. The consortium will become more open to future cooperation with other research institutions in the European Union and worldwide.

Agriculture faces new challenges as a consequence of the increase of human populations, the demand of more sustainable ways of production and the increase of crop pest resistances and invasions. In this context, crop protection methods relying on the use of natural enemies (biological control) are of utmost importance. Yet, research and development in biological control suffers from structural problems limiting innovation and development of reliable and efficient new techniques. The aim of Iprabio is to promote the integration of new practices (derived from research in ecology & evolution) into programs of biocontrol against arthropod crop pests. More specifically, the project will rely on the development of international biocontrol programs in which (1) The links between researchers from several disciplines will be strengthened; (2) Complementary morphological and genetic characterization methods will be used to identify the pests infesting crops and to research and select the most adequate biocontrol agents; (3) Quality control procedures based on genetic and phenotypic characterization of insects will be implemented to optimize the rearing protocols of biocontrol agents in laboratory or commercial conditions; (4) The biotic and abiotic conditions affecting the establishment of introduced populations of biocontrol agents will be investigated. IPRABIO will support the development of these biocontrol progams by creating durable collaboration between partners working against same crop pests, but displaying different fields of expertise and using different techniques in their respective geographical area. Hence, IPRABIO will have three types of impacts: on research and development in crop protection; on the communication and exchange of ideas, methods, competences among research teams working on biocontrol worldwide; on the development of biocontrol solutions against 8 pests currently invading Europe.

MICROGENNET is a collaboration of 16 distinguished universities and research institutes worldwide. The overall aim of the exchange programme is to build, extend and strengthen sustainable collaborations between the partners so as to create a community driven knowledge base for micronutrient genomics research. Currently, the data on nutrient effects on health are scattered in publications and databases around the world. The aim of this work is to provide a public portal and bioinformatics toolbox to access and analyse collaborative and publically available data. Ultimately the goal is to develop individualized intake recommendations for specific micronutrients to promote prevention of both acute illness and chronic disease.The exchange objective is provide researchers with: an international platform to learn novel techniques and methods, the opportunity to formulate new joint collaborative research and funding proposals and international exposure and intercultural understanding. The exchange programme consists of visits ranging from 1-7 months for ESRs and ERs. The expertise and facilities of the partners are highly complementary and the synergy lies in the combination of expertise on identifying metabolic and functional target pathways for a range of micronutrients (Selenium, Zinc , Vitamins and vitamin-related compounds anti-oxidants) and bioinformatics expertise on pathway analysis and data integration. The concise work plan consists of 4 work packages, 2 related to data collection concerning minerals and vitamins, a third over-arching bioinformatic workpackage and one for management. The consortium will be sustainable through its close association with the Micronutrient Genomics Project and the Europe-led NuGO association. MICROGENNET contributes to the EC priorities because it uses mobility to transfer knowledge and will create a network through which European centres of excellence will enhanced through links with researchers from the rest of the world.

PGSYS is an integrated platform for the biosynthesis, tailoring, and final application of the unique pectinase complex from A. sojae, particularly in –but not limited to- the European Food, Beverages, and Environmental industry. PGSYS was born 4 years ago from the pioneering work of Dr. Canan Tari, at Izmir Institute of Technology (Turkey), and further funded by German-Turkish Bodies, and by the EU within the EuroTransBio-3-Scheme. This has resulted in a network of scientist working on the project, including public and private partners, particularly SMEs. In the present project, the partners are proposing joint research and training activities, workshops, and other networking activities with the aim of exploiting complementary expertise with Latin-American and Mediterranean Countries. As a result of such complementarities and synergies, additional benefits in terms of transfer of knowledge and skill are anticipated.

When a natural or monumental site is declared as a protected area such as World Cultural Site, National Historic Monument, Biosphere Reserve, Natural Space, a strong impact undergoes in the region. This declaration involves a large public and private investment which often affects only the site itself or immediate surroundings. The direct impact is reduced by marginalization of more distant areas, which in many cases, present unquestionable heritage values, susceptible of being valorised and recovered in order to further generate financial resources to promote economic, social and regional development. The protected sites act as a powerful magnet promoting economic and social bookmarking of remote places, if that marginal area is valorised properly. Such valorisation generates knowledge and good practices that can be transferred to natural or monumental sites that have received some form of protection either at national or international level in Latin America in order to avoid the marginalization of surrounding areas. To overcome the reduced impact and promote future economic and social progress derived from such declarations, the STRAVAL main purpose is to make non-interventional studies on the conservation of these sites in LA in order to valorise the selected sites. Such studies will be performed from an architecture, environment, geo&bio-diversity, history and conservation/alteration of building materials point of view. It will complemented by the identification of existing economic potentials around these sites and a social study of the neighbouring populations. As a result of the performed studies, education and training programs shorter training courses and open day sessions addressed to students in Higher Education Institutions, civilian population at large and to professionals in the tourism sector will be one of the outputs of the project. A Valorisation, Business and Action Plans will become the other important output of STRAVAL.

The research program focuses on a central theme relating governance and regulation of the sector of the social economy in a territorial context. This project is based on Vaesken and Zafiropoulou model centered to social innovation resulting from the articulation between modes of governance and modes of regulation. The program treats three specific research orientations of social policies and local development: 1. Cultural policies (cultural management, place of users in the construction of cultural policies, innovating systems and devices). This axis points the difficulty in taking into account the requests of stakeholders in the construction of cultural policies building oriented to social regulation. 2. Healthcare policies (centered on active participation of users, innovating systems and devices of management in isolated territories). This axis analyzes news relationships, partnerships and services characterizing the healthcare sector, having for goal to manage medical territories. 3. Policies of social and economic integration of disadvantaged populations (innovating systems and devices of management). Within the framework of the social and professional integration it is important to study the roles of private and public operators in order to specify different types of configurations. These configurations aim to answer problems of social and economic insertion. Moreover, a transverse axis on home care and integrated services will be developed. This multidisciplinary research project integrates both economic, public policies and public management approaches. Our goals of work are multiple: • To share university knowledge in the fields of social economy applied to partners territories. • To cross research on regulation practices integrated in social policies. • To analyze the role of users and to identify the strategies of actors. • To describe territorial specificities and to theorize managerial practices.

54 partners from 34 institutes have formed an EC-funded Network of Excellence (NoE) in basic malaria research, the European Virtual Institute for Malaria Research (EVIMalaR). Over the previous >5 years as the NoE Biomalpar these partners successfully broke down many barriers to cooperation pursuing a programme of integrated research. This was greatly assisted by the Biomalpar PhD School whose students were supervised by two partners from different member states. Evimalar represents the latest incarnation of this network and has recruited in tranches 21 students into the Evimalar PhD School. Australian malaria researchers have also realised the greater benefits of collaborative research and within the Australian Parasitology Network have exchanged personnel and expertise. Both the European and Australian networks recognised that their domestic spirit of cooperation could be mutualised and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2007 (updated in 2010) to formalise the ambition. The MoU generated greater exchange between the regions but was limited due to lack of finance. Evimalar created a legal link between the regions by incorporating an Australian malaria researcher who was then applied for funding from the Australian NHMRC to finance OzEMalaR, a mechanism for exchange of Australians to Evimalar partners. Ozmalnet seeks reciprocal funding to allow Evimalar researchers to conduct exchange visits to OzEMalaR laboratories. Both regions are world leaders in malaria research with particular local strengths that can be exploited to the mutual benefit of both regions and their early stage researchers including Evimalar PhD students who will primarily be undertaking the exchanges. The outcome will be a more globalised integration of malaria research and greater exchange of information and personnel in the future leading to collaborative grants and ultimately concerted efforts to defeat malaria one of the greatest scourges of mankind.

Recent advances of biopolymer mass spectrometry - first highlighted by the Nobel Prize-awarded “soft ionization” methods - have opened new applications in life sciences, such as the identification of proteins from complex biological material (proteomics). A number of high performance mass spectrometry technologies and hyphenated separation methods have become amenable; however, their efficient exploration and integration in interdisciplinary biochemical and biomedical applications is still in the initial phase. In this project an effective exchange scheme of staff will be established between European laboratories of different application areas, and leading American Centers of high performance biopolymer mass spectrometry. Joint research projects through exchange of coworkers will focus on the determination of protein structures and pathophysiological structure modifications; the identification of the assembly and topology of large protein complexes; development and application of disease-related quantitative proteome analysis; characterization of protein conformations and misfolding/aggregating proteins; applications to elucidate protein-biopolymer interactions and molecular recognition structures using new tools of bioaffinity-mass spectrometry. The principal goals of this project are (i), to establish new technologies of mass spectrometry in important life science applications such as the identification of biomarkers for disease diagnostics; and (ii), to provide a basis, through exchange of coworkers, for the integration of mass spectrometry tools with biochemical and biomedical technologies. This project will contribute to (i), integrate interdisciplinary applications of biopolymer mass spectrometry in life sciences; (ii), enhance exchange and collaboration between European and North-American academic laboratories; (ii) the graduate and postgraduate education of young researchers in mass spectrometry in life sciences.
