Renewable energy has been widely recognised as a growth area, and thus included in the ten themes of the FP7 for research and technological development. At this moment it is wind energy that is firmly in the spotlight because this is the only feasible source of renewables to be utilised economically in quantities. Traditionally, medium and large wind turbines use doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) whilst permanent magnet (PM) machines and reluctance machines have been researched for decades and have been gradually penetrating into the wind turbine market. Recently, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) machines have been attracting much attention for wind turbine applications. However, these technologies have their advantages and drawbacks, and they have not yet been fully developed nor well compared in terms of the suitability, integration and economy for large scale wind power generation. The choice of wind turbine generator technologies would be complicated when incorporating different mechanical drive systems, power electronics and control topologies, and when used in offshore harsh environments. This project is a collaborative scheme of research exchanges and networking. It will bring together leading scientists and engineers in the UK, Italy and China, supported by their funding bodies and industrial partners. The consortium includes five members with complementary research experiences and strengths in wind turbine generation technologies. This exchange program is built around the work packages to develop wind turbine generation topologies, numerical models, control and optimisation algorithms, experimental tools and condition monitoring techniques. The exchanges will enable the reciprocal transfer of knowledge and technology between the members of the consortium and will be deployed by periodical meetings, workshops and seminars, individual visits, training and public lectures, which are open to external stakeholders and industrial partners.

The overall aim of the proposal is to implement an exchange program and to promote a mutual and beneficial transfer of knowledge between Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy and France) and Latin America (Argentina and Mexico) in the field of Gender Studies, in order to enrich the theoretical framework, to consolidate the institutional dimension of the different research programs having gender as focus and to set up new research activities. The proposal focuses issues of gender and citizenship, which are crucial both for the advancement of gender theories and of gender policies. Specific objectives of the proposal are in fact: a) The opening of interdisciplinary, original and innovative research perspectives; b) The contribution to the assessment and the definition of gender policies at international, national and local level in the two continents; c) the establishment of a network that will allow the reciprocal transfer of knowledge between Europe and Latin America The three objectives are extremely relevant, both for the ERA –the European Research Area-, considering that the field of Gender Studies is still underdeveloped in comparison with the United States, and for the EU policy that has put gender equality as a main goal to reach. The exchange program will allow senior and junior researchers to take part in PhD courses, Master programs, Intensive programs, Summer Schools; will encourage co-direction of PhD and will produce publication of books and articles in peer reviewed journals. Outreach activities are foreseen outside the academic world reaching politicians, stakeholders and the general public with the aim of suggesting strategies and proposing recommendations for promoting gender equality.

The increase in information storage in computer hard drives is the result of considerable effort towards the miniaturization of magnetic bits and the development of magnetic materials with suitable magnetic anisotropy. As information access rates are now well into the GHz range, understanding the dynamics of spin excitations in confined geometries becomes important to solve the problem of cross-talk between bits and to reduce the energy cost of writing. In small magnets, the surface modes of spin excitations increasingly dominate and lead to complex absorption spectra where quantum phenomena, such as tunnelling of the magnetization, become increasingly probable. Established spin spectroscopy techniques such as Brillouin Light Scattering are unfortunately limited to sample sizes no smaller than the wavelength of light and also require a minimum volume of material to match the sensitivity of the detection apparatus. The present consortium will develop a novel spin spectroscopy technique that uses a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas as a photodetector of the stray magnetic field emanating from spin waves and other magnetic excitations. This technique was experimentally demonstrated by the PI. Spin Wave Photo-detection complements Brillouin Light Scattering by measuring spin excitations in individual magnets much smaller than the wavelength of light. The technique is so sensitive that it detects the magnetization dynamics of individual magnets which eliminates spurious effects associated with averaging over arrays of magnets. The purpose of the consortium is to group the research expertise and manpower of the three partners to develop exploit the full potential the photovoltage spectroscopy technique for probing ultra-small magnets and uncovering physical phenomena associated with spin dynamics on the sub-100nm scale.

This project intends to undertake a comparative study of three different regions: Siberia (Russia), Lapland (Sweden) and Patagonia (Argentina). These regions have a series of common features as regards their natural and cultural heritage, and are destined to experience similar changes due to the global warming and globalisation processes. The protection and the promotion of cultures, territories and heritages strengthen a socio-economical development process for local communities. Such sustainable valorization should generate high level know-how and good practices that can be transferred to specific territories with national and international protection (National Park, National Reserves, UNESCO labels, etc.). Huge natural spaces in Arctic and Sub-Antartic regions get specific attention from international community (UN and EU) due to current global warming and the impacts of climate change on cultures and territories. These regions have fragile ecosystems that can be rapidly damaged by mass tourism or by a not well-controlled development strategy implemented by public institutions or private companies. This project aims at studying these extreme regions, training professionals working in public administrations in order to improve their educational background, and students with postgraduate curricula linked to tourism, geography, natural heritage, politics and social economics. Cross-cultural training transfers and valorization processes applied to the fields of tourism studies and the tourism industries, as well as cultural heritage and regional development of territories will be offered. Long term sustainable actions will be implemented at international level, such as an International Network of Regional Tourism Observatories and e-Learning platform to diffuse collected data, surveys and pedagogical materials.

The Fregean-inspired Principle of Compositionality of Meaning (PoC), for formal languages, may be construed as asserting that the meaning of a compound expression is deterministically (and often recursively) analysable in terms of the meaning of its constituents, taking into account the mode in which these constituents are combined so as to form the compound expression. From a logical point of view, this amounts to prescribing a constraint --that may or may not be respected-- on the internal mechanisms that build and give meaning to a given formal system. Within the domain of formal semantics and of the structure of logical derivations, PoC is often directly reflected by metaproperties such as truth-functionality and analyticity, characteristic of computationally well-behaved logical systems. The project GeTFun aims at being a coordinated exchange programme for the investigation of compositional meaning in logic and applications. The consortium will study various well-motivated ways in which the attractive properties and metaproperties of truth-functional logics may be stretched so as to cover more extensive logical grounds. The ubiquity of non-classical logics in the formalization of practical reasoning demands the formulation of more flexible theories of meaning and compositionality that allow for the establishment of coherent and inclusive bases for their understanding. Such investigations presuppose not only the development of adequate frameworks from the perspectives of Model Theory, Proof Theory and Universal Logic, but also the construction of solid bridges between the related approaches based on various generalizations of truth-functionality. Applications of broadly truth-functional logics, in their various guises, are envisaged in several areas of computer science, mathematics, philosophy and linguistics, where the ever increasing complexity of systems continuously raise new and difficult challenges to compositionality.

The implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in developmental contexts presents relevant social and technical challenges. Understanding of lessons learnt and best practices under extreme conditions such as the ones found on the African continent can provide valuable insights for ICT deployment in developed countries. At the same time, the experience in use cases and technical know-how of developed countries can help regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa in harnessing the full potential of ICT for social and economic development. The proposed exchange program between Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK, Italy), Fraunhofer FOKUS (Fraunhofer, Germany), Rhodes University (RU, South Africa) and the University of Fort Hare (UFH, South Africa) aims at establishing a transnational cooperation to define and experiment a set of guidelines, tools, technologies and standard artifacts to facilitate the implementation of ICT solutions to address social inequalities through a Living Lab approach. All the partners have gained extensive experience with ICT for Development (ICT4D) projects in sub-Saharan Africa and have competences in project management, technologies for rural development, user-centric design and infrastructures. Activities will be carried out within the context of the Siyakhula Living Lab (SLL) in Dwesa, a rural area in the former homeland of Transkei, in South Africa. Like many African rural realities, Dwesa is characterised by endemic poverty and lack of services and infrastructure. It has been the site of extensive ethnographic research since the end of Apartheid in 1994. Since 2005 it has been the site of ICT for Development (ICT4D) activities involving the deployment and support of telecommunications infrastructure, internet connectivity and ICT training.

Cardio-metabolic disorders (CMD) represent a heavy public health burden for Europe which has one of the highest adult mortality rates in the world, primarily due to a very high incidence of CMD. The 2011 FP7 Health Work Programme included three Calls targeted specifically on understanding CMD nature and pathophysiology, while the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe recently recognised CMD as the greatest public health challenge of the 21st century. The aim of this proposal is to create a multiannual joint programme of collaboration between eminent research entities based in EU or Associated Countries (EU/AC) and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) countries for investigating the prevalence of uncoupling protein one genetic polymorphisms and their impact on predisposition to CMD. Thus, U-GENE fits perfectly within the scope of IRSES which aims in establishing long-term research cooperations through coordinated joint programmes of balanced research staff exchanges in thematic areas that are relevant to the European population. In addition, the EECA region is of strategic importance to the EU, in both economic (trade, energy) and political (security, stability) terms. The U-GENE partners boast an outstanding group of researchers, extensive collaboration and knowledge transfer networks, a large number of relevant publications, as well as very active participation in research programs funded by the European Commission. Moreover, the partners’ experience and specialisation in CMD research, their extensive experience in networks of excellence and international collaborations, and their broad infrastructures will provide the level of quality required to transform the U-GENE joint exchange programme into a successful multi-national network of excellence for CMD research.
