CEA is convinced that the ability of research institutes to offer attractive working conditions and career opportunities to researchers is a key factor in meeting the challenge of maintaining and boosting Europe’s scientific and economic competitiveness. Thus, thanks to the European Commission cofunding, CEA would like to develop a centralised programme dedicated to researchers’ transnational mobility and based on open merit competition and international peer review. This programme called ‘Eurotalents programme’ will aim at increasing the mobility of scientists and at offering a boost in their career thanks to the access to new research capacities. Eurotalents will open world class laboratories within CEA and abroad to researchers having an excellent scientific experience and wanting to broader their career via a research project in the scientific topic(s) of their choice within CEA well-known domains of expertise: (i) Energy, environment and climate change, (ii) Life sciences and biotechnology, (iii) Nanosciences and nanotechnologies, (iv) Science and technology of high performance computing, (v) High energy physics and physics of the universe. Eurotalents will thus offer fellowships to foreign researchers wanting to work in CEA (Incoming fellowships) or to French scientists aiming at developing their scientific career abroad (Outgoing fellowships). The selected researchers will also benefit from CEA network all over the world and have access to training courses in scientific and non scientific disciplines. Eurotalents will be directly operated by CEA that has already proved its capacity to efficiently manage European projects and national programmes according to strict rules Eurotalents will exploit synergies between UE actions, CEA research facilities and scientific environment, and CEA quality of work. Thus, Eurotalents will contribute to the success of the European Research Area by attracting third country researchers and promoting European mobility.

The Israel Night of Scientists 2008 (INOS08) is designed to attract participants of all ages from Israel's diverse populations throughout the entire country. The Night will be part of Israel's national 60 years celebration; this will increase public awareness of the event due to the national campaign promoting celebratory activities. INOS08 will provide a forum where scientists will adopt a role that is both informative and receptive. They will not only introduce the public to their fascinating research but will also encourage participation in open discussion. The event will thereby provide scientists with an opportunity to understand and respond to the concerns and aspirations of the general community. And, hopefully, it will also change the negative public perception of scientists and their work. A detailed impact assessment will endeavor to assess both quantitatively and qualitatively the impact of the night on both the public and the participating scientists. The Night will be filled with rich and imaginative programs presenting the cutting edge of scientific discovery and technological innovation. The nationwide events will include informal settings, such as Science Cafes, where scientists and the public can meet and get to know each other better! In each location there will be a European stand devoted to heightening public awareness of the EU-Israel collaboration in R & D over the past twelve years and the EU's political and societal vision, as well as FP7. Israel's three major science museums will have displays of photographs from the nationally promoted competition of "Scientists in their Daily Life". An exhibition of the photographs will also travel nationwide after the Night of Scientists to provide an ongoing awareness of INOS08. The program for INOS08 will be run by the INOS08 consortium which consists of seven leading academic research universities and institutes, three major science museums, and the Ministry of Science, Culture and Sport.

Main objective of our proposal is contributing to the reinforcement of public recognition of researcher as profession with it's international dimension. The proposed events are organized on 26 September 2008: from artistic ones, researchers’ rock band, experiments, to interesting discussions on television program about researcher as profession and women’s position as researcher and their social role, all with festive character. The target audience of proposed events, foreseen in an informal and attractive way, in which whole families can take part in, is the public at large, including all different groups of population from youngest one to elder citizens. They all aim at offering the public at large an opportunity to directly meet researchers in a relaxed atmosphere, with »European corner« and exhibition of photos competition »Portrait of (a) researcher(s)« in the heart of the event's location. As a part of the »European corner« there will be a transmition of events organised in the frame of the European Researchers' night 2008 and available on internet connection. Interesting experiments, workshops in which visitors will participate will be performed. Information how young people can become researchers themselves and fun corner for the smallest children, will be available as well. In order to illustrate the fact that researchers are "normal people", whose unique specificity is their curiosity and passion for research, which they are willing to share with any European citizen, we also give importance to women’s role in society in connection with research and science and to researcher as profession. This topic will be discussed in public media.

Based on the warmly welcomed Researchers' Night 2007 experience, also the 2008 event is a project that is based on interactive presentation of the Slovak scientists and science. Current mood in the society supports a growing need to introduce researchers as people, solving the current problems of our society. Project is to present scientists as "stars you don´t know about yet," researching with direct relation to the everyday life. Partial aim is to present a possible attractive career of a scientist to young generation. The 2008 project is to follow the way, set by the 2007’s, keep the continuity with same project title or logo as previous year but with the more effective communication methods. With the professional experience of SOVVA team members and those of each partner of the consortium, taken from the area of science, public policies and media, there is an ambition to attract even the wider part of the public. Activities that will be organized during the night of 26th September 2008 are a big science show in one of the biggest retail and leisure centres in Bratislava with EU corner and many hands on experiments, presentations and simulations and a concert of researchers from universities and jazz band from the Slovak Academy of Science, science cafes, exhibition of photos of researchers as well as other activities organized by universities. Photos competition for secondary schools and universities will not only be interesting because we will see how students interpret scientists through photography but it will also help to attract their attention for the whole project. One of the most important aspects of this project is effective awareness campaign related to the project which is of a crucial importance for its success. We plan to use modern and attractive communication instruments like interactive and graphically interesting website with profiles of researchers, banner campaign that will be placed at very well attended web portals and many others.

The basic scientific and technological concept of the project is to use agglomerated nanophased powders to be transferred onto a substrate in the form a coating with very little or none change of crystal structure. This will allow to obtain nano-structured coatings with a crystal size very close to the powder one. The concept will be extended to an important breakthrough concept that is the “Supersonic deposition of nanostructured surfaces” using multifunctional “reactive” aggregated nanopowders for coating deposition: the residual chemical energy stored inside the material (uncompleted chemical reactions) can be developed during the deposition to assist deformation effects and contributing to bond together particles onto the substrate via creep/liquid phase sintering mechanisms. Many different systems will be explored pertaining to the aeronautical, mechanical and biomedical fields. The main S/T objectives of the project are: • Materials design of based on performance requirements; • Development of agglomerated (typically 20-50 microns size) nanophased powder classes (crystal sizes 10-20 nm) suitable for deposition using cold spraying containing either solid lubricants and/or residual chemical enthalpy in proper metal matrix; • Cold spraying process development for the “reactive” deposition (wide range of adds in temperature), and self lubricating nanostructured coatings (synthesis of "new" nanocomposite materials); • Development of three classes of nanostructured coatings for very relevant tribological applications (with self lubricating properties, abrasion and fretting resistance, biocompatibility) which suffer from a complete lack of solutions in the fields of bearings, machines parts and medical devices; The above objectives relates perfectly to the call content since it is intended to develop: novel nanostructured coatings; improved wear behaviour; chemical inertness; new generation of solid lubricants and tribological materials

The aim of project ProFiTex is to support fire fighters in their perilous work with a system that supplies mission-relevant information without overwhelming the fire fighter. The design approach will be user-centered with tests starting at an early point in the project to gain maximum user acceptance. Professional fire fighters will be involved from the beginning of the project to ensure, that the system will be tailored to their needs. Project ProFiTex will continue the work of the successful EU-funded project wearIT@work. The ProFiTex system comprises electronic devices like an infrared camera, localisation sensors and a human-computer interface device integrated into the fire fighters jacket. Since wireless communication is difficult over long distances and through several walls of a building, an innovative method to transmit information will be applied. A security rope carried by fire fighters during a mission shall be equipped with data transmission capabilities. This allows information to be sent outside to the command post and back to the fire fighter. By monitoring several parameters of the fire fighters condition like his movement pattern and stance, problems can be detected immediately. The fire fighter himself is supplied with the possibility to navigate even in smoky environments thanks to the infrared camera and the positioning system implemented into his equipment. Localized information (e.g. “door”, “victim”) can be fed into the system using the garment-integrated human-computer interface device. Information will be displayed to the fire fighters, their group leaders and the commander outside the building. The amount and type of information supplid will be carefully chosen, considering the physical danger and psychic stress fire fighters are opposed to. Work safety of fire fighters shall be increased, thus lowering the number of work-related accidents and casualties. Fire fighting missions will be more efficient using the system.

Disabling foot and ankle pain is common; it impacts negatively on health related quality of life, and it is has major cost implications on health systems across Europe. Foot and ankle orthoses are an effective treatment for these conditions. However, the market is dominated by low cost mass produced products, craftsmanship built customised devices with delivery times &gt;15 days, and a limited range of computer-aided design and manufactured products. The objective of the A-FOOTPRINT project is to develop novel foot and ankle orthoses which are personalised for shape and biomechanical function and can be ready for patient use within 48 hours. The goal is to achieve improved fit and comfort, functionality, aesthetic appeal and ease of use with better clinical and cost effectiveness over state-of-the-art products. Innovative CAD tools will be developed and combined with rapid manufacturing to create complete geometric design freedom. This will be coupled with step change advances in personalisation by developing individual patient data from gait analysis and medical images to inform the design process, aided by biomechanical simulation to optimise functionality such as joint stabilisation and pressure distribution. Rapid manufacturing techniques will be used to develop novel customised orthotic components such as living hinges, variable stiffness and fine resolution cushioning to enable better personalised function. Setting new industry standards, prototype devices will be evaluated by near pharmaceutical industry level controlled trials to further improve product knowledge. This highly integrated, multidisciplinary project will make a significant impact on the health-related quality of life and well-being of EU citizens. The Consortium comprises leading orthotic and enabling technology SME’s, clinical and academic research centres and large enterprise. The project will enable the SME’s to become international leaders with strong competitive advantages.

The goal of the MultiPlat project is to develop biomimetic proton conductive membranes with nanometer thickness (nanomembranes) through convergence of a number of fields. The primary application of this multipurpose nanotechnological platform is the next generation of fuel cells where it will replace the prevailing evolutionary modifications of the state of the art solutions. Secondary applications cover diverse fields, including photonics, sensorics, biointerfaces, medicine and others. The natural proton conductive nanomembranes are the most ubiquitous building element in biology. The core concept of the project is to postulate, introduce and fabricate a novel composite nanomembrane and to functionalize them through the integration of proton conducting nanochannels in a manner analogous to that in biological cells. At the same time the nanomembranes will be strengthened through the introduction of inorganic part. This functionalisation itself is a complex and largely unsolved issue. In this way the nanomembranes will merge artificial and biological properties. We intend to use convergence of diverse fields including physics, chemistry, biomimetics, and nanotechnology. The focus will be primarily on the use of various nanotechnology methods for nanomembrane fabrication, their functionalisation through lamination, surface patterning, inclusion of fillers and structural modification through the engineering of built-in nanochannels. The research should result in functional models and a breadboard model. The industrial partners will ensure the application of the results. The objectives of the project fully satisfy the call NMP-2008-1.1-1 Converging sciences and technologies (nano, bio, info, cogni). The expected impacts include breakthroughs in knowledge in the converging fields, important practical applications and industrial innovations, with major significance for clean energy production, environmental protection and welfare improvement.

In COPERNICO a novel approach is adopted which will look at ALL factors of the production system in a holistic manner (machines, humans, environment) and model the interactions. Particular attention will be paid to factory ramp-up, which is critical for new products and can be a major stumbling block achieving fast time-to-market. We believe that it is only possible to design a virtual manufacturing process by developing a detailed understanding of the system at all levels. COPERNICO is directed at generic issues spanning the interests of all our industrial partners and indeed common to all factories. The problems include optimizing capacity, removing bottlenecks and scheduling (coordinating with both the upstream and downstream supply chain and minimizing work in progress). The emphasis of COPERNICO is on virtual simulation to eliminate problems before they happen. The preplanning stage is an ideal time in the life-cycle of the plant to include human and environmental concerns, safety factors and work-place satisfaction metrics. The objectives are to: 1. Identify and merge the range of mathematical, physical, data driven and knowledge based models with soft data such as worker and environmental considerations to create a tool to predict the behaviour of production processes and overall factory environments. 2. Use the models to develop optimum processing routes 3. Develop novel experimental methodologies to validate the models in a virtual test bed facility 4. Condense the validation and certification time to reduce cost and time 5. Build from machine tools to cells and factories 6. Build on the close working relationship with our industrial collaborators and transfer knowledge 7. Create a modular factory layout system with a diagnostic and solutions toolkit 8. Demonstrate this system in a virtual facility, validate it across a real test-bed facility and implement it in at least 1 SME factory and 1 OEM production process
