Coding of biochemical information is commonly described to be based solely on nucleotides and amino acids, whereas carbohydrates, the most abundant type of molecule in Nature, appear sidelined in this respect. That carbohydrates, as part of cellular glycoconjugates, have exceptional talents for building biochemical signals is an emerging insight, at the heart of the concept of the Sugar Code. Intuitively, emergence of recognition partners for information transfer is expected, and this is the case. Thus, coding of bioinformation in glycans and information transfer via lectins is key to a wealth of medically relevant processes, e.g. infection, immune regulation and malignancy, now awaiting its full exploitation pharmaceutically. To do so, training in this exceptionally interdisciplinary field needs to be provided. With this aim, scientific and country/gender issues are strategically combined in this network. Its composition assures a continuous chain of research expertise, from computational and synthetic chemistry to state of the art biophysical chemistry and structural biology, then to biochemistry, molecular cell biology and pharmaceutical/biomedical sciences, generating innovative clinical approaches. Notably, academia is linked with industry, bringing in the essence of business acumen into the training programme. This activity and the research deliberately planned as interdisciplinary projects ensure an optimal training for young researchers in a dynamically developing area of conspicuous biopharmaceutical potential. Equally important, it lays the foundation to inspire novel strategies for the design of potent and selective inhibitors against lectins and the development of lectins (or suitably engineered variant(s)) as therapeuticals. As a boon for the success of the network, cooperations between several partners have already proven successful, especially increasing the core in Madrid and partners in Dublin, Munich and Prague.

The project aims at achieving the improvement of Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) building blocks (BBs) for generic integration technology, the design and fabrication of high bit-rate transmitter PICs, typically WDM 10x 25Gbps and 4x 25GBau Tx PIC as test vehicles for the deve-loped BBs, and finally the test and validation of the fabricated PICs in a transmission environment. The program addresses a significant step beyond the present state-of-the-art. To achieve these goals, both partners have adequate infrastructure and complementary means. Some challenging milestones will be set to be reached, such as deep UV stepper lithography; assessment of semi-insulating (SI)-substrate based technology; SAG (Selective Area Growth) epitaxy techniques; SiBH (Semi-Insulating Buried Hetero-structure); advanced RF (radio-frequency) circuit engineering. The test vehicles will be validated in transmission systems, and potential markets for the developed PICs will be explored.

The SusPhos training network will bring about a paradigm shift in the teaching of sustainable phosphorus chemistry, in the training of multidisciplinary-competent scientists, and in the public’s view on chemistry to preserve the essential element phosphorus from depletion. SusPhos represents the first systematic investigation of the eco-friendly production, smart use, recycling and commercial exploitation of phosphorus-based processes and materials that use the precious element phosphorus in a sustainable manner. This approach should lead to fundamental insights into sustainable technologies and create an ideal platform for the training of young, ambitious researchers in a superb collaborative European setting. SusPhos will educate 14 broadly-oriented researchers at the interface of synthetic chemistry, catalysis, materials science, process chemistry, industrial phosphorus chemistry, and technology transfer. SusPhos’ intense training module combines the complementary strengths of nine academic and three industrial teams to promote intersectoral mobility of top-class multi-skilled researchers to enforce cross-fertilization of enhanced research synergies between the public and private European chemical sector. In its dual-mentor programme each of the ESRs and ERs will be supervised by one mentor from academia and one from industry to ensure an outstanding training in both sectors. The training programme uses highly innovative and timely methodologies to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary training of a new generation of young researchers capable of understanding and applying green chemistry to the conservation of phosphorus by environmentally benign conversions. Our SME Magpie Polymers and leading chemical companies Thermphos, Arkema and DSM will ensure rapid and effective technology transfer. As such the network will facilitate Europe's continued global leadership on the sustainable use of phosphorus in an increasingly fierce competition for resources.

BCMolMed integrates complementary and multi-disciplinary expertise of two main (research-intensive SME-academia) and five associate partners with the objective to generate a state of the art training platform on application-oriented biomarker research and systems biology. Special emphasis is placed on the efficient employment of proteomics and bioinformatics techniques to clinical research, and understanding clinical phenotypes in a spherical manner, in line to main EU research priorities. Research is applied to the identification of biomarkers and molecular determinants of bladder cancer recurrence and invasiveness, (with emphasis on extracellular matrix proteins), due to its clinical significance and availability of molecular data. The main industrial partner brings in commercial expertise and entrepreneurship, advanced proteomics technology and know-how on statistics, and a dynamic scientific commercial environment, highly complementing the academic partner bringing in knowledge on molecular biology and disease models disease, specific technologies and the “academic” ‘educational- focused” mentality. The associate partners provide complementary knowledge on molecular biology, systems biology, and clinical expertise and resources. Besides providing a solid scientific foundation in the fields of proteomics, bladder cancer research and systems biology, the training program has been designed to equip the ESRs with efficient cross-discipline communication skills capable to reach multiple target groups. A structured curriculum is proposed consisting of individual research projects, secondments between partners, and various training modules (courses, workshops, webinars). This integrative approach can be substantially beneficial and is expected to generate effective researchers and entrepreneurs in the fields of biomarker and drug target while providing valuable insight in bladder cancer molecular pathology and validated biomarkers.

Semiconductor industry rapidly approaches the performance limits of silicon-based CMOS technology. This proposal aims to pave the way to electronic circuits based on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), newly emerging semiconducting analogues of graphene. TMDs can be rapidly exfoliated in the liquid phase into single layers starting from powders and provide solutions of 2D materials that can be coated over large areas. The recently achieved transistors based on single-layer MoS2 indicate a mobility comparable or even higher than silicon thin films or graphene nanoribbons, but with much lower leakage currents. In a joint effort of wet and gas phase chemistry and deposition techniques, nanoanalytics, electronic and optical spectroscopy, electronic device fabrication and characterisation, and theoretical modeling we aim to control the production and deposition of TMD nanolayers and nanoribbons, understand and control the interplay between morphology, defects and electrical properties, understand electrical transport through semiconducting nanolayers, and fabricate nanodevices. By combining the ease of processing commonly associated with organic electronics with superior electrical properties, we will demonstrate a new type of low-power, low-cost field effect transistor based on a single TMD layer and/or nanoribbon. The proposed outcomes of immediate interest for the three full partners from industry are (i) process flows and practices that enable fabrication of nanoscale transistor arrays for application in flexible electronics via spraying and/or ink-jet printing, (ii) software packages for modeling the electronic behavior of TMD nanolayers, and (iii) a prototype reactor for their large-scale growth and deposition. The training and dissemination activities will be complemented by an associated partner who will produce educational videos together with the young researchers of the consortium.

ICanHear will develop models based on emerging knowledge about higher-level processing within the auditory pathway and exploit that knowledge to develop creative solutions that will improve the performance of hearing instruments. New signal processing methods will be implemented on a unified open signal processing platform and will be evaluated in terms of user benefits on common evaluation scenarios and data bases. A distinctive feature of this project is the tight integration of academic and industrial partners. Fellows will be trained to use rapid prototyping tools to implement and to test their newly developed solutions. Thus they will become familiar with the various stages of product development and also contribute by providing suggestions for improvement of such tools and future product development platforms. The proposed network includes strong translational focus, by providing fellows with motivation and skills to move from purely academic research to product development.

Future advancements in ICT domain are closely linked to the understanding about how multi-level complex systems function. Indeed, multi-level dependencies may amplify cascade failures or make more sudden the collapse of the entire system. Recent large-scale blackouts resulting from cascades in the power-grid coupled to the control communication system witness this point very clearly. A better understanding of multi-level systems is essential for future ICT’s and for improving life quality and security in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. In this respect, complex networks science is particularly suitable for the many challenges that we face today, from critical infrastructures and communication systems, to techno-social and socio-economic networks. MULTIPLEX proposes a substantial paradigm shift for the development of a mathematical, computational and algorithmic framework for multi-level complex networks. Firstly, this will lead to a significant progress in the understanding and the prediction of complex multi-level systems. Secondly, it will enable a better control, and optimization of their dynamics. By combining mathematical analyses, modelling approaches and the use of massive heterogeneous data sets, we shall address several prominent aspects of multi-level complex networks, i.e. their topology, dynamical organization and evolution.

iMobility Challenge is a 24 months project aimed at demonstrating, promoting and boosting the deployment of ICT systems for efficient and sustainable mobility. The project will highlight both off-the-shelf products (i.e. technologies that have just been launched on the market) and emerging technologies addressed by current research. In particular focus will be placed on current EU Research conducted in the field of cooperative systems for energy efficient and sustainable mobility. Intelligent mobility is notably characterised by efforts to better integrate and connect intelligent drivers, intelligent cars and intelligent infrastructures together, and this can be achieved through cooperative systems. The benefits of ICT systems for efficient and sustainable mobility should be better disseminated to end-users, decision-makers, the research community and the industry. The added value of iMobility Challenge will be to raise awareness of such benefits among those distinct target groups.

SMEs are developing new applications and services, which could benefit from testing facilities. There are number of FIRE testbeds, which have been developed and are ongoing in the European research community. The goal of the FUSION project is to bring SMEs that have needs in testing new applications together with these FIRE testbeds. The FIRE facilities will at their turn benefit from the specific requirements expressed by those SMEs, thanks to FUSION. The FUSION project provides an exchange portal whereby SMEs through their clusters can present their testing requirements. The portal lines up these requirements with the testing capabilities available on the testbeds. FUSION will provide a series of engagement activities with clusters integrating SMEs or ultimately with SMEs. These engagement activities will discuss the testbeds capabilities, the SME testing requirements and application market opportunities, to enable collaboration and dissemination of information and to report on their findings. Finally, FUSION will present a roadmap and series of recommendations for ongoing testing of applications on the facilities. The benefits of FUSION are hugely cost effective i.e. these clusters integrating SMEs with inadequate or no testbeds facilities, will not need to spend money developing their own. Instead they can use what is already there and get much further ahead in their own project objectives. They can benefit from the expertise of people who have developed and worked on these world-class research facilities. This type of fusion is enabling greater awareness, collaboration, networking and cohesion between different research groups in both the clusters that are largely integrating SMEs and the testbeds facilities groups leading to greater innovation and competitiveness in European ICT industry.

The LivingSchoolsLab project is a 24-month Coordination Action with 15 partners, including 12 Ministries of Education (MoE) or organisations nominated to act on their behalf. It is coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN) that has extensive experience of demonstrating and showcasing best practice involving ICT use in schools and in coordinating large-scale, pan-European school pilots and validations both within EC-funded projects and for industry partners. Showcasing innovation in schools in the network will be based on systematically observing and documenting classroom practice and teachers in the network will be upskilled as a result of continuing professional development activities. Rather than reprising previous models for school networks involving only eMature schools, EUN and its supporting Ministries will put in place a new, multi-layered network or ecosystem involving, not only ‘vanguard’ schools, but also schools, classes and individual teachers at very different levels of ICT implementation. This will support the development of whole school approaches to ICT deployment and the mainstreaming of innovative practice that is increasingly seen as critical by both MoE and the Commission. The project will improve the coordination of research by: producing ‘baseline’ validation methodologies, a validation manual and running workshops so that existing projects can more quickly design, cost and implement their own validation pilots; offering a fully costed, turnkey validation service to different stakeholders that, after the end of the project, will be sustained as a core service activity within the EUN Future Classroom Lab. Key to this will be the development of a new economic model for an expansion of the network which recognises that, if we wish to involve large numbers teachers and schools in Europe as action researchers, we must start to provide them with a system of recognition, rewards and incentives that adequately compensates them for their work.
