The joint institute Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre – Institut Mérieux laboratory (FDUSCC-IM), created in May 2010, is conducting ambitious scientific research projects on oncology in China. Its 2 founding partners, Fudan University (China) and Transgene (part of Institut Mérieux, France) wish to increase their translational medical research cooperation with European countries. In a first step, collaboration will enlarge to an active partnership with Danish, Italian and German teams, with the following objectives: (i) increase the EU-China knowledge exchanges in the field of cancer prognosis – by organizing in China summer schools, seminars and international conferences, as well as by hosting PhDs and post PhD research fellows in the joint institute, (ii) enhance the research capacity and the technological transfer to the joint institute – by providing adequate human resources and equipment to conduct beyond the state-of-the-art oncology research, (iii) promote a reference Euro-Asian centre on Chinese cancer prognosis – by spreading the knowledge and by raising awareness in China and European Union. Research activities will be held in China in collaboration with the new European partners, in order to enhance current research activities of the joint institute and to create durable links between Chinese and European teams. Current research is focused on immune phenotype as personalized medical biomarker for prognosis of Chinese cancer patients, and will be extended to new types of cancer and biomarkers. These prognosis studies will help to guide clinical decision-making by facilitating the selection of appropriate treatment options. Ultimately, this FP7 INCOLAB is an opportunity to build a Euro-Asian reference centre for medical and scientific research on cancer and to extend the already existing cooperation between the FDUSCC-IM laboratory and Europe by considering the opening of the joint institute to additional European member.

High-throughput experiments produce large datasets providing information about cellular processes, by simultaneously observing different types of variables (e.g. genes, proteins, metabolites). Collectively, data from such experiments are referred to as omic data, to indicate their genome-wide coverage. Advances in biotechnology have resulted in the possibility to obtain a growing variety of omic datasets. However, most computational and algorithmic efforts have been directed at mining data from each of these molecular levels (genomic, transcriptomic, etc.) separately and combining the results in order to explore the biology of a system. An important output of such analyses is the identification of networks of interactions, between molecules. However, at the molecular level, the networks of interactions that can be observed from such datasets are interconnected and thus separate analysis of omic data can result in important information being lost. Our aim is to combine the skills from multiple labs in order to advance in the non-trivial task of multi-omic data integration. In particular, we aim to apply techniques developed in this project to gain a better understanding of rheumatoid arthritis. To achieve these aims we propose a collaboration between three institutes (from Denmark, Italy, UK and China), with complementary experience in collection and analysis of omic data. The collaboration will produce results that are attractive to all institutes and researchers dealing with high-throughput technology and will therefore promote the EU as an attractive research base. This exchange will also promote China as an attractive host for Marie Curie Outgoing Fellowships, potentially leading to a higher number of EU researchers undertaking longer research periods in China in the future. Therefore, this specific network is not only relevant in terms of the scientific impact and quality of the exchange but also in terms of its geographical width and breadth.

The INARMERA-ICT Project aims at reinforcing the cooperation capacity of the Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems (IIAP) of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia by providing the possibilities to improve its research activities in the areas of thematic priorities of the Framework Programme. Participation of IIAP in ERA-WIDE Call was endorsed by the Armenian Government due to the important role it assigned to the institute in the transition of the country to innovative knowledge based economy, due to active participation in FP5, FP6 and FP7 projects, and the responsibility the institute bears in the development of ICT in Armenia and the region. To reach this objective, the Project consortium consisting of IIAP and three partners from Belgium, France and Hungary will carry out research assessment of IIAP, will organise training in FP7 and FP8 for IIAP scientists, and their research training in the latest methods in Information Technology, Cybernetics, etc. For networking and dissemination purposes workshops and summer schools will be organised in Armenia, while Armenian scientists will be able to attend events in Europe. Meantime from the start of INARMERA-ICT, four pilot projects will be organised between IIAP scientists and their colleagues in Europe, but also in Georgia, highlighting the regional aspect of the Project. The pilot projects will help Participants to identify bottlenecks of cooperation and find remedies; they will lay grounds for larger FP project proposals. The Strategy Experts Group will develop strategy for IIAP aiming at confirming its reputation as the leading regional ICT centre and turning it into a committed partner for European institutions in Framework Programmes. Project results and achievements will be analysed and recommendations will be drawn to the authorities on strengthening EU-Armenia R&I cooperation leading to the successful integration of Armenia into ERA.

Traditionally, the social impacts of transport and the effect that this has on social equity and exclusion have been much less well understood and articulated by transport researchers and policy makers than economic and environmental factors. Understanding the relationships between transport disadvantage (financial, temporal, spatial, cultural, physical and cognitive) and how this can contribute to the social exclusion of certain population groups by reducing their ability to participate in life-enhancing opportunities, such as as work, learning, shopping, social networking and cultural and leisure pursuits is clearly an important issue not only for EU member states but also across the developed and developing world. For example, this understanding is necessary for the evaluation of a number of the EU’s strategic policy goals. In recognition of the importance of these issues, the behavioural and social sciences have developed a growing interest in researching these issues in recent years and there is now a wide range of research which has sought to make the role of transport in enhancing or undermining social equity, inclusion and cohesion, health, well-being and quality of life more explicit and transparent. This work has largely been developed in a parallel rather than integrated fashion, exploiting a number of potentially complementary but hitherto largely discrete theoretical and methodological approaches and is also taking place within different national contexts. A key priority for this research exchange programme is therefore to: 1. Expose the full diversity of the research which has been already undertaken to in this area to date; 2. Facilitate the exchange of ideas about the various and diverse theoretical concepts and methodological approaches which abound; 3. Develop new hybrid theories and methodologies and test these in different national contexts 4. Identify the applicability and utility of these new perspectives for the development of future policy

This project will develop a joint networking and advanced research programme on critical issues of planning, management and urban heritage that will strengthen research partnerships between European and Chinese partners. This aim will be achieved by short and longer-term periods of staff exchanges and networking activities between the participants, each a prestigious research institution. In total 79 researchers will undertake 215 months of exchange. The ultimate goal of this project is to achieve more rapid progress in advancing current knowledge, both conceptually and in terms of practical strategies of management, of the challenges of managing heritage as part of a wider process of spatial planning in the very different contexts provided by Europe and China. Its focus is the role of heritage in continuity and change in the city and region. Urban areas are the critical sphere of investigation as it is cities and urban regions that are subject to the greatest pressures for change and transformation and conflict and potential complementarity with heritage protection most acute. Europe and China are, broadly speaking, polar examples of the rate of urban change. In Europe the pace of urban change, in part due to heritage designation, is often very slow and we maybe building up a “heritage time-bomb”. In China, by contrast, urban change is an astonishingly rapid process, with the risk of heritage erasure. Each of the participating organisations has expertise in these areas and each is a geographical location that presents rich empirical case studies to explore.

European MS & AC have a long tradition to collaborate with India, this has led both to a large potential for fruitful collaborations at EU level, and a fragmentation of actions at countries level. In order to push up a more ambitious integrated actions, and to be able to adopt the best practices in leveraging the science, technology, innovation (STI) relationship, and to cope with the intense worldwide competition for international alliances, EU must overcome this fragmentation. Hence we propose to provide the EC with a feasibility study of the opening of an INDIA SI HOUSE aimed at boosting the STI collaboration in a sustainable manner. The specific aims are to explore INDIA SI HOUSE project’s partners, and beyond when possible: 1/ the political commitment; 2/ the legal frameworks; 3/ the scientific priorities. The results will be synthesized in a Forward Look that will provide recommendations. During this study, benchmarking, mapping, and SWOT analyses of existing bilateral and multilateral schemes of collaboration including PPP, to delineate the most common schemes of cooperation with India. This project is built upon the Indo-French CEFIPRA funding structure, which does exist for more than 20 years. For the strategic management of this project, an External Advisory Board (EAB) will be set up since the Month 1. Its composition will vary in function of the topic addressed. Besides the presence of Indian decision makers and partners, interested non-partner EU MS & AC will be invited to EAB. The INDIA SI HOUSE project will disseminate permanently its results thanks to its website and tool box, in an openly way, giving cooperatively access to other EU-India funded projects. The impacts of this project will spread up along three dimensions: 1/ boost in the coordination of EU MS & AC; 2/ increased visibility and improved quality of EU actions; 3/ enhanced coordination of science diplomacy.

The aim of the proposal is reinforcing IPT capacities (i) in genomic medicine, with applications in Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) investigation, and (ii) in International Cooperation activities. This project will facilitate joint research and innovation related activities between European and Tunisian researchers in the field of NCD. To achieve these aims the following actions are proposed: Setting and implementing training modules, two trainings on international project setting in the frame of European Framework Program, four advanced courses and theoretical and practical workshops in various aspects of structural and functional genomics, with a particular emphasis on NCD investigation will be organized. Exchange of visits between IPT, IP Paris and other EU laboratories working on relevant field are also planned to improve networking capacities. Two pilot projects will be performed. The aim of the pilot projects is to learn how to design and implement genetic diversity and health projects in post genomics. The pilot projects will also help stimulate EU-Tunisia cooperation, and develop competencies in genomic medicine. GM‐NCDin‐Co targets Institut Pasteur de Tunis, an independent governmental institution, under the tutorship of the Tunisian Ministry of Health. This more than centenary institution is considered as a national and regional centre of excellence in particular in the field of infectious diseases. To answer to the new challenges of the epidemiological transition and with the increase of prevalence of NCDs, IPT has developed new activities related to the investigation of the genetic basis of monogenic and multifactorial diseases. Reinforcing these promising activities has a great potential to benefit EU research institutions through new international cooperation activities.
