A good skid resistance of the pavement surface is of essence for road safety. Loss of skid resistance can have dramatic material and loss of life consequences. The problem is aggravated further in the presence of water, due to the phenomenon of hydroplaning. In this project the micro-mechanical factors controlling skid resistance at the tyre-pavement interface in asphalt concrete pavements shall be identified and related to asphalt mix characteristics on the basis of experimental evidence and computational studies. In the first phase of the project, the skid resistance characteristics of various combinations of dry pavement surfaces and tyre types shall be evaluated experimentally. The tests shall provide the information necessary for micro-mechanical finite element simulations of tyre-pavement interaction. A state of the art 3D rolling contact algorithm, accurate representation of the tyre characteristics and the surface morphology shall be utilised. On the basis of the simulations, the parameters controlling the magnitude and the degradation of skid resistance in dry pavements shall be identified. These parameters shall be used as input for wet pavement analyses in the second phase of the project in which focus shall be placed on the detrimental influence of water on skid resistance. The rolling contact algorithm shall be extended by a hydrodynamic component to enable simulation of hydroplaning. On the basis of these simulations, the influence of water on the parameters controlling the magnitude and the degradation of skid resistance in wet pavements shall be identified. In particular, the influence of progressive pavement surface unevenness shall be investigated. Design tools will be produced for the evaluation of the critical asphalt mix parameters on the dry and wet skid resistance degradation as a function of tire type and driving speed. These can be used by road authorities to decide for the choice of safe driving speed limits.

CoopAIR is an ambitious and innovative action supporting Latin American (LA) cooperation. It aims at deepening strategic RTD cooperation between Europe and LA by building, starting from what already exist a multinational and multistakeholder community that will involve a significant representation of the relevant RTD European and LA actors (researchers, companies, policy makers, users) and by identifying common needs, research issues and opportunities for cooperative RTD. The project will: 1. Build the observation, analysis and forecasting capacity required to identify key R&D issues on which to focus EU-LA cooperation, and key actors that will be involved in EU-LA collaboration in the field. 2. Analyze the barriers and troubles found by the potential LA partners when trying to participate at EU R&D programmes, as well as the difficulties encountered while taking part at any project. 3. Considering the findings on what are the main obstacles, establish effective mechanisms to enhance the participation of the LA partners. 4. Guarantying that information on European R&D is promoted to a large number of research, policy and practice actors in LA, therefore also facilitating dialogue among them. 5. Organize several conferences and divers workshops in LA and Europe and a final Conference in EU to bolster networking opportunities. CoopAIR will build on two EU supported successful support and networking projects targeted to LA (ABEST, UEMEXCyT, whose coordinators are part of the CoopAIR consortium). CoopAIR will also coordinate its activities with the FP6 project B.BICE and the INCONET-EULARINET.

The CATS project objective is the final development and experimentation of a new urban transport service based on a new generation vehicle. Its major innovation is the utilisation of a single type of vehicle for two different usages: individual use or collective transport. This new transport service is aimed at filling the gap between public mass transport and private individual vehicles. It is based on two operating principles: the self service concept where small and clean urban vehicles are offered on a short term rental basis, and the flexible shuttle service where a variable length of vehicles convoy, driven by a professional driver, operates at fixed hours along a line on a permanent basis or on a case by case basis. Both these principles are integrated in a single service (composed of vehicles and stations) called Cristal. The final aim of this new service is a more efficient mobility in cities through a more balanced use of small clean vehicles and mass transport. This inclusive new transport system is well adapted to the needs of people with reduced mobility, young passengers and tourists. Four Cristal vehicles and two stations will be made available by Lohr Industrie to the project for experiments. The CATS project will investigate through an in depth mobility needs analysis, on-site demonstration and showcases, the impact of the introduction of such a new system in three different European cities (Strasbourg FR, Ploeisti, RO, Formello, IT).The impact on environment and especially on CO2 emissions, as well as the acceptance and the evaluation of market take-up of the system will be studied. CATS will complement the design and manufacture of the Cristal vehicle via a detailed definition of its operating principles and by a design of its urban settings (stations, infrastructures,) in accordance with cities and citizens needs. A full evaluation plan is then foreseen as well as transferability assessment.

Goals • Object of this work is to provide -by means of product and process innovations- an advanced compactable bicycle, making it practical to carry along a bicycle aboard public transportation, easily, safely and for a large number of passengers. The ultimate goal is a synergic, intermodal integration of public transport and cycling, expanding the share of both modalities in the urban mobility. Drivers • Bicycling, very efficient in the short range, but not so on longer distances, could be re-introduced into daily travel to handle the trip’s end portions, enhancing the effectiveness of other modalities through an additive effect, re-balancing in a cost-effective way the modal mix in favor of micro-mobility and public transport. The state of the art doesn’t allow a collective, pervasive use of the folding bikes in “intermodal duty”, because of excessive weight and volume when collapsed -often exceeding the baggage limits of city bus and metros- discouraging their use out of practicality and safety on board. • The proposed research aims at providing a solution developing a fully engineered, production-ready, new bike typology, based on an innovative concept for a bike frame already tested on mock-ups and working models. The advantage over the state of the art is an unprecedented compactness (factor 6 over common folders) and low weight (factor 3) obtained combining a collapsible, pre-tensioned space-frame with a modern industrial process centered on the use of contemporary engineering plastics. The process innovation will also allow low cost, quality control, opening-closing automation, electric power assistance and last, but not least in a design-conscious world, aestethic value. The work program will develop a new supply-chain, assembling several application-specific know-how modules of mature and well known technologies, all commonly and economically available. • Both direct, project-specific, and extended, broadly applicable results are expected.

It is the proposal to organise the 20th European Union Contest for Young Scientists in Copenhagen, Denmark from the 19th to the 26th of September 2008. This will be done in collaboration with the EU Commission, the Danish State, the EIROForum, the European Patent Office, Munich, Germany, different Danish sponsors (e.g. the Lundbeck Foundation, the Capital Region of Denmark, the Copenhagen Municipality, the Augustinus Foundation etc.) and Young Scientists – Denmark. It is the intention of the Danish organisers that this EUCYS simply MUST be used to focus on: Support for young European talents in science Stimulation of new innovative initiatives between young European Scientists Enhancing entrepreneurship and creativity between young European Scientists Creating a strong and powerful network between young European Scientists Many initiatives will be taken to obtain these goals; but one of the most important will be to imply a strong, focused and well-planned media strategy, so these young European scientists can serve as a role model in their respective home-countries. It is also a specific goal to obtain a stronger collaboration between EUCYS and the most highly recognised competitions for young scientists world-wide: The Intel ISEF competition in the US and CASTIC (China Adolescent Science & Technology Innovation Contest) where thousands of young scientists meet each other. It is our hope that we will: be able to create the first strong network between these young European scientists – a network that they will be able to use during the coming education; give the students an introduction to the many post-graduate education possibilities in Europe; stimulate a stronger interest for natural science in Europe – and in Denmark in particular.

The use of novel electron microscopy related techniques is necessary to understand the structure of modern catalysts and, as a consequence, to improve their performance. The installation and development in the University of Cadiz of two novel techniques, Electron Tomography and quasi in situ Microscopy will help to achieve this goal. Electron Tomography is able to unveil the three dimensional structure of functional objects, with sizes in the nanometer scale. This technique will be applied to the study of the morphology and crystallography of nanoparticles. Quasi in situ Microscopy allow the study of the structure and composition at subnanometric scale of different materials in particular chemical states after chemical reactions without being exposed to the atmosphere. These techniques will be applied to the study of catalytic systems based in cerium oxide with gold as the active phase main component used for selective oxidation of CO. New formulations will be tested, including mixed oxides as support and including a second metal in the active phase.

Photonic crystals are materials patterned with periodic dielectric structures. Since they were first proposed, in 1987, they have grown into a burgeoning research field with a rich spectrum of applications. Recent research in the field has been rapidly expanding to include nonlinear effects. Combining the compact formats and versatility of photonic crystal structures with the functionalities of optical nonlinearities could ultimately prove to be the key to tunable all-optical devices with huge impact across a broad range of disciplines, from telecommunications and quantum computing, to biology and sensing. Traditional approaches to nonlinear photonic crystals involve micro- (nano-) structuring the linear properties of a nonlinear medium. The research I wish to pursue through an IEF with the world-leading group on nanostructured ferroelectric optical materials would reverse this paradigm, to explore a brand new class of 2D periodic structures, i.e. Purely Nonlinear Photonic Crystals (PNPCs), based on micro- (nano-) structured nonlinearities. Key to the project will be the development of an integrated nonlinear nano-photonic platform in lithium niobate, a ferroelectric crystal in which the sign of the nonlinearity can be periodically modulated in space and exploited in integrated optical formats. The development of a such a nonlinear technology toolkit would enable a new class of ‘parametric’ photonic crystals which could manipulate all-optically the pathway, pulse shape, delay, spectrum and phase of multicolour light beams by means of purely nonlinear mechanisms (not via interference and diffraction as in ordinary photonic crystals). This could open a completely unexplored realm, holding promise for excitingly new physics and unprecedented possibilities for device engineering.

With progress in nanotechnology, biophysics, and polymer synthesis, colloidal science has reached a new level of importance. A large variety of complex colloids of different shapes, with binding specificity, and variable softness has been synthesized, opening quite exciting ways for engineering materials at the nanoscale. The purpose of COMPLOIDS is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the Physics governing the self-organization and the dynamical behavior of complex colloidal particles in the bulk, under confinement and out of equilibrium. For this purpose, the partners will consider a variety of novel, experimentally accessible colloidal systems that share the common properties of anisotropy, associativity and softness of their constituent particles. A well-coordinated combination of experiment, theory and simulation will explore the fundamental Physics, define similarities and differences between the systems considered and search for common underlying mechanisms of self-organization that are distinct to these complex and highly versatile colloidal systems. The technical objective of COMPLOIDS is to apply the gained knowledge with the goal of engineering novel materials in close collaboration with participating high-technology EU-companies. Young researchers will also profit from COMPLOIDS in a variety of ways. They will be exposed in high-level research working, within a highly connected and interdisciplinary team of researchers and developing state-of-the art tools in the Statistical Physics of Soft Matter. Further, they will attend world-rate graduate programs and courses in the participating academic partners and they will obtain hands-on experience of the industry sector through the participation of industrial partners.
