Understanding mantle convection is essential to understand the thermal and chemical evolution of the Earth and to constrain the forces driving plate tectonics. The rheological properties of the mantle are traditionally inverted from surface geophysical data. Radial profiles of the viscosity are thus available but a lot of uncertainties remain. A more detailed model of mantle rheology could be obtained from the knowledge of the constitutive flow laws of mantle phases. A lot of progresses have been achieved to extend the P, T range accessible to rheological studies. However, constitutive flow laws are only available so far for minerals from the upper mantle. More severe is the timescale issue since phenomenological flow laws must be extrapolated over several orders of magnitude to be applied to mantle convection. Recently, a new field has emerged in materials science called multiscale modelling. It allows to link our understanding of a few elementary mechanisms (usually at the microscopic scale) with a behaviour observed at the macroscopic scale. I consider that this offers a ground-breaking opportunity to set a microphysics-based model of the rheology of mantle phases. Much progress has recently been obtained by my group in this direction. A multiscale model of plastic flow consist in modeling: a) the defects responsible for plastic shear at the atomic scale (dislocations); b) their mobility under the influence of stress and temperature; c) their collective behaviour resulting in plastic flow. I propose to build upon those accomplishments and to model the plastic flow of some key phases of the Earth’s mantle: wadsleyite, ringwoodite, MgSiO3 perovskite and post-perovskite to constrain: i) the viscosity contrast between the transition zone and the lower mantle; ii) the viscosity profile of the lower mantle (and understand the origin of the peak of viscosity at mid-mantle); iii) the rheology at the thermal boundary with the core.

Quantum field theories with local gauge symmetry are building blocks of the modern theory of fundamental interactions between elementary particles. The basic example is Quantum Chromo Dynamics. There is strong evidence that QCD is the correct theory of strong interactions, but it has been difficult to use it to account for many hadronic phenomena which is due to large value of gauge coupling at low energies. Theoretical understanding of gauge theory dynamics at large values of coupling when one cannot use the Feynman diagram perturbation theory is a major problem of physics of strong interactions. Goals include analytic computation of mass spectrum of hadrons, etc. The general aim of this proposal is to develop new theoretical tools to describe strongly coupled gauge theories. Research in the last decade brought strong evidence that connection of gauge theories to string theory should be a key to solution of this problem. Gauge-string duality and, in particular, Anti deSitter / conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is one of the most active directions of current work in theory of fundamental interactions. A remarkable progress was achieved towards quantitative understanding of this relation in the most symmetric case of maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in flat 4 dimensions dual to superstring theory in curved 10-dimensional AdS5 x S5 space. We propose a detailed study of this duality from the string theory side using world-sheet methods and hidden integrability of the maximally symmetric theory. The goal is to provide a first-principles proof of the duality for the spectrum of states and also to establish its validity at the level of correlation functions of conformal operators. We also plan to extend string-theoretic approach to gauge-string duality to less symmetric cases, corresponding, in particular, to certain non-supersymmetric conformal and n=1 supersymmetric non-conformal planar gauge theories.

To combat poverty, European strategies propose implementing active inclusion policies. However, these policies face serious conceptual questions and governance challenges. Practical implementation is problematic in that social exclusion is a multidimensional problem that goes far beyond financial poverty, necessitating the participatory co-production of individual opportunities. In addition, the complex social needs of the most excluded groups require the integration of different policy fields and the involvement of beneficiaries, civil society and public agencies in the co-production of welfare. This project focuses on the political and organisational challenges of this complex governance model which has evolved from European, national and local policies. Investigating the co-production of active inclusion in a multilevel, multidimensional and multi-stakeholder perspective addresses key questions: How can the combat against poverty be organised in practice? How do European, national and local institutions shape the co-production of active inclusion? How do beneficiaries participate in these policies and how does this shape their life courses? Project COPE integrates multiple disciplines and experienced social policy researchers. A common theoretical and methodological approach guides the research in each work package. First, we will contextualise poverty as a multidimensional challenge. Secondly, COPE will study how minimum income schemes for three different groups (lone mothers, long-term unemployed, working poor) are organised in five EU countries (Italy, Germany, Poland, Sweden and the UK) and how they cope with multilevel and multi-stakeholder modes of co-producing active inclusion policies. As these countries cover different welfare regimes, the results will have direct EU-wide relevance. To conclude, we will analyse the impact of these approaches on the individually perceived situation of the poor and the life courses of the most vulnerable social groups.

IRISS (Increasing Resilience in Surveillance Societies) will investigate societal effects of different surveillance practices from a multi-disciplinary social science and legal perspective. It will focus on the effects that surveillance practices introduced to combat crime and terrorism can have on citizens in open and democratic societies. It will review surveillance systems used in fighting crime and terrorism and will examine the driving forces that have led to the spread of these practices. It will review current research on public attitudes towards surveillance, the impact of surveillance on civil liberties and citizens’ trust in political institutions. In a set of case studies, the impact of surveillance on the everyday lives of citizens will be analysed in detail. These studies will focus on the relations between citizens and the state, between citizens and private sector institutions and between citizens. Based on the findings from these case studies, a series of comparative empirical social experiments will be conducted to test different attitudes towards surveillance in different democratic contexts. These experiments will investigate citizens’ attitudes towards surveillance and the extent to which democratic rights can be exercised under existing regimes of surveillance and how these rights can be strengthened. The empirical research will inform an analysis designed to explore options for increasing social, economic and institutional resilience. IRISS will produce a better understanding of how surveillance affects different types of societies and how different groups react to surveillance. It will produce a comprehensive account of resilience options, focussing on strengthening democratic processes and public discourse about appropriate reactions towards threats against open democratic societies. The consortium will involve stakeholders in expert workshops, an international advisory board and by other means.

After running a series of events in individual NMP areas, the Commission decided to create a large biannual event to integrate their work across these themes. The first Industrial Technologies event took place in Brussels in 2010 and attracted 1000 participants. The event successfully gathered a high-level group of speakers and attendees including ministers, CEOs of large companies, and the Director General of the Research DG. The next Industrial Technologies event is planned to take place during the Danish Presidency of the European Commission in the first half of 2012. iNANO, Spinverse, and the Center for Industrial Production proposes to host the event in Aarhus from June 12-14th 2012. The event will last for three days and will be expected to again have 1000 participants. Industrial Technologies 2012 will have four objectives: 1. To underline the importance of NMP key enabling technologies in developing solutions to the grand challenges, such as climate change, health, mobility and energy efficiency 2. To spotlight the success stories of NMP under FP7, giving visibility to those projects that combine breakthrough technology innovation with significant industrial impact and communication where FP7 NMP funding is playing a vital role 3. To identify innovative solutions to unfavourable framework conditions which acutely affect industrial technologies, including access to funding, market fragmentation, regulation, by bringing together those affected by such barriers with those best able to effect change 4. To coordinate the activities of stakeholders at local, national and transnational levels to avoid costly duplication of effort and build coherent development strategies.
