The basic idea of the project is to apply methods and results of the theory of integrable systems to non-integrable PDEs. We do not promise to solve any PDE; however, in certain strongly nonlinear regimes, solutions to a conservative non-integrable PDE exhibit integrable behaviour. The realization of this idea, supported by some preliminary analytical and numerical results, will consist of three main tasks: 1) classify normal forms of quasilinear Hamiltonian PDEs and their perturbations; 2) reduce the lists of asymptotic solutions to an abridged list of universal forms represented via Painlevé transcendents, theta-functions, etc.; 3) establish matching rules between the universal asymptotic expansions. Differential-geometric methods based on the theory of Frobenius manifolds will be crucial in solving the classification problems; analytic and algebro-geometric techniques applied to the Hurwitz spaces of Riemann surfaces will be instrumental in the description of nonlinear oscillatory regimes; selected solutions to Painlevé equations and their generalizations will be needed for the analytic description of transitions from regular to oscillatory behaviour. The project is aiming at creation of an online library of the main qualitative types of behaviour of solutions to large classes of nonlinear evolutionary PDEs supplied with analytic expressions, numerical codes and visualization tools, as well as with tests of existence of a Hamiltonian structure, integrability or almost integrability. Such a library will both stimulate the research in the field and lead to a high visibility of the project.

The RIFI objectives are: - to create a methodology for evaluation of the socio-economic impact of investments in RIs, - to test and improve the elaborated methodology based on its application to several case studies in Romania and Bulgaria (at all the three levels of investment: pan European, regional and national), - to complement the methodology through integrating foresight, and to elaborate on the role of foresight for identifying RI investment opportunities. The RIFI methodological tool is especially important for the new EU member states, the remote islands of EU, and other countries with similar profiles with Romania and Bulgaria (e.g. from the Black Sea Region). The methodology will be a powerfull decision tool both for developing and adjusting the European policies related to RIs, and for pre-assement of certain RI investments.

Based on the great impacts both in quantitative and qualitative terms and the enthusiastic reception which the Researches’ Night 2007 got in Southeast of Finland a new proposal in similar spirit is a natural consequence. In order to underline the importance of European researchers a fine-tuned, interregional, multidisciplinary and in first line human centred Researchers’ Night event in reinforced private-public cooperation is being proposed. In line with the FP7/People work programme and the goals set to the specific Marie Curie Action “Researchers’ Night” the main objective of the project proposal FutureWorld is to organise an educating and entertaining Researchers’ Night –event on the 26th of September 2008, well balanced between scientific academic and popular, entertaining elements and addressed to a large public. One of the main objectives of the holistic approach is to give face and voice to researchers. This can be achieved by putting researchers into star roles and bringing them in interaction with citizens, into the middle of the society and in spotlights as speakers, guides, animators, performers, game masters etc. in the programmes on the stage, in exhibition places, panel discussions, sofa-corners, cafés etc. The leading concept in the background is the rapidly changing society and the future knowledge based European society. High European visibility connected to the event will underline the importance of the event and make the essential difference. Citizens of all ages will be attracted by different highlights: rich scientific, cultural and entertaining programmes with multidisciplinary contents, well planned visual/aesthetic elements and interesting protagonists will conquest the normal Friday night activities and move people to partying labs. The human centred event invites everybody to active participation. A photograph competition addressed to schools and young people will be a part of the strong communication strategy and awareness campaign.

In simple flows with mild mean deformation rates the turbulence has time to come to equilibrium with mean flow and the Reynolds stresses are determined by the strain rate, in the basis of eddy-viscosity representation. On the other hand, when the mean deformation is very rapid, the turbulent structure takes some time to respond and the Reynolds stresses are determined by the rapid distortion theory. A complete turbulence model should exhibit this visco-elastic character of turbulence, matching the two limiting behaviors and providing a reasonable blend in between. Our aim is the development of a complete one-point model with the proper visco-elastic character for use in environmental and engineering applications. The core of the model will be the particle representation model (PRM). PRM is a modern structure-based model, making use of new approaches on the description of the morphology of the turbulent structures, which offers an alternative method for computing the linear RDT one-point statistics efficiently, and without excessive computation. The scope of this proposal is the continuation of the valuable past work for the extension of the PRM approach to weak deformation rates, including more types of deformations in homogeneous and inhomogeneous flows. The resulted model is expected to improve Reynolds stress modeling for wide applications, contributing to a better understanding in atmospheric phenomena (like the passage of the flow above an obstacle), in astrophysics (star formation), and in engineering design.

The TRANSVAC infrastructure will accelerate the pharmaceutical and clinical development of promising vaccine candidates by bringing the gap between academic research and clinical trials through carefully managing the advancement of promising vaccine candidates from preclinical animal models to early proof-of-principle studies in humans. Although expertise already exists within Europe spanning different disease types, there is currently very limited coordination between vaccine R&amp;amp;D groups, assay developers and vaccine producers. Unarguably, fragmentation of expertise and facilities has slowed, and in some instances distinctly impeded, the development and validation of promising vaccine candidates. To address these challenges the European vaccine development community needs to establish a collaborative vaccine development infrastructure based on shared visions and goals. The European Vaccine Initiative (EVI) and the Tuberculosis Vaccine Integrated (TBVI) Project have each demonstrated significant success in creating the know-how and infrastructures to enable the advancement of European vaccine development. In order to sustain the momentum generated by EVI and TBVI these successes will be built-upon to create an infrastructure driven by EVI, in which all stakeholders commit to sharing facilities and knowhow on vaccine development. This consortium (TRANSVAC) will comprise major European stakeholders with expertise, resources and facilities for each stage of vaccine development, from the scientific community as well as vaccine developers. Each stakeholder can add to what EVI and TBVI have already established by adding their own expertise to the TRANSVAC long term strategy. TRANSVAC will be the European driving force for vaccine development, and will be accessible to any interested parties. This consortium will initiate a new era in the innovative, harmonised and rapid development of accessible and efficacious vaccines for Europe and the rest of the world.

Mosquitoes transmit a variety of infectious diseases that cause a tremendous burden to public health. Due to climate changes and to the increase in international trade and tourism the threats posed by mosquitoes are increasingly affecting large parts of Europe, causing understandable concerns among the populations of many Member States. Control methods, mainly based on insecticide usage, are struggling to cope with the challenges posed by the biology and ecology of mosquito vectors. INFRAVEC aims at bridging the gap between the recent advances in transgenic technology and its implementation as a novel powerful approach for vector control. To this aim, a large European Infrastructure will be established, in which the coordination of efforts, expertise and facilities provided by the individual research groups and institutions will bolster and considerably expand the overall research capabilities of the research community. INFRAVEC will operate, through a number of Networking, Joint Research, Transnational and Service activities, towards the objective of considerably strengthening research capability in Europe by sharing knowledge, resources and technology. INFRAVEC will mainly focus on Anopheles gambiae, the major vector of malaria, and Aedes albopictus, a viral disease vector that is rapidly spreading through Europe. Four Infrastructure facilities will be integrated in the project: 1) the Genetically Modified mosquito laboratory of Imperial College London; 2) the Mosquito Mass-rearing facility at the Centro Agricoltura ed Ambiente (with the support of the International Atomic Energy Agency); 3) the Bioinformatics facility at EMBLEBI, UK; and 4) the Mosquito Confined Release facility at ISRIM. INFRAVEC will provide a formidable research capability to external users and facilitate the performance of five research projects aimed at utilizing basic knowledge of mosquito genetics and biology in an unprecedented effort to develop novel opportunities for mosquito control.

ULICE is a 4-year project set up by 20 leading European research organisations, including 2 leading European industrial partners (Siemens and IBA), to respond to the need for greater access to hadron therapy facilities for particle therapy research. Project coordinator is the Italian Research Infrastructure Facility CNAO (Milan). Both existing European Hadron Research Facilities in Heidelberg and Milan are partner and together with the next operational centre (Philipps-Universität Marburg; yr4) they will provide 624 hours of beam-time (141 users, 52 projects) to external researchers. Future facilities like MedAustron, Etoile and Archade also participate in ULICE, which will result in a strong integrated network. Full exploitation of all different resources, unrestricted spread of information and the improvement of existing and upcoming facilities are provided by using grid-based data sharing. The project is built around 3 pillars with measurable outputs. These outputs will be exploited by the (future) facilities and (partly by) the industrial partners: 1. JRA - focus on development of instruments and protocols: new gantry design, improvement of four-dimensional particle beam delivery, adaptive treatment planning, mechanisms for patient selection to the whole European Community and database development for specific tumours which can best be treated using carbon ion. 2. Networking - increasing cooperation between facilities and research communities wanting to work with the research infrastructure. Outputs will be (among others): a report on recommendations for strategically optimal locations for future RIs throughout Europe, training to new users 3. Transnational access: 2-step approach, using a combination of pre-defined (within ULICE) clinical trial programmes to allow researchers with patients to visit the facility, and radiobiological and physics experiments to take place.

The idea that constitutes the basis of the proposed project is to address the main issues that currently limit the wide acceptance of protective garments, i.e. protection against multiple hazards, extension of the life-cycle of protective garments, physiological comfort and mechanical parameters. Overall, the proposed research activities aim at addressing the complex risky conditions met in various types of emergency operations, e.g. during accidents involving the threat of chemicals, extreme weather conditions (flood, wind storms, hail etc), small scale fires, or combinations of those. The manufacture of three prototypes is provisioned. In order to achieve these objectives, progress beyond the state of the art is required in a variety of fields. In fact, the project is highly multidisciplinary and requires developments in diverse areas such as polymers science and technology, polymers processing, new additive masterbatches development and fiber spinning, nanotechnology, plasma technology, sol-gel technology, smart thermoregulating materials, microencapsulation, ergonomic garment design, etc. The major innovations regard, but are not limited to, the development and application of specific functionalizing materials, capable of providing multiple protective functions. More specifically, the main materials to be examined include layered silicates, carbon nanotubes, alkoxysilane primers, chromic materials, antimicrobial microspheres, etc.

The ScientistsAcrossPortugal event will take place in the two major cities in Portugal, with the main purpose of bringing researchers to informal environments and promoting «two-way communication activities» between researchers and public in general. This event which is actually the combination of three different projects all located in the Porto-Lisbon area, respectively promoted by Inovamais, the University of Porto and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Events will be organsied in the two following locations: PORTO: (2 locations, e.g. CMIA - one of the laboratories of the Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) in Matosinhos by the beach, and the Centre of Astrophysics of the University of Porto, owing well-know infrastructures in the field of astronomy, short distanced locations. The event intends offering the public an unforgettable party gathering Portuguese general community and researchers; programme includes a mixture of activities, ranging from thematic exhibitions, tunas concerts, hands-on activities, sun and astronomical observations, games, etc bringing researchers and the public together in a didactic but enjoyable way, and highlighting the message that researchers are “ordinary” people. LISBON: (Cultural Centre of Belem, a leading cultural landmark in Lisbon) -around 2000 people (researchers and public of all ages) will be invited for an evening walk, preceded by interactive science-based activities and dialogue events with scientists, in a Festive Tent. By illustrating how scientists are interested in ‘ordinary’ social and physical activities, this will without a doubt contribute to breaking down the stereotype of scientists as lonely, anti-social individuals, as well as fostering interactions and dialogue between scientists and publics of all ages and socioeconomic groups, in a non-threatening and familiar space.
