The Inter-Continental Exchange of Leadership in Conflict Transformation (ICELCT) project aims to enhance inter-continental understanding and knowledge of what role leadership plays in conflict transformation, a comprehensive term covering conflict resolution and peacebuilding. The programme objectives are: 1. To comparatively and critically analyse different strategies and experiences on the role of leadership in conflict transformation from a regional and inter-continental perspective. 2. To examine the role of regional actors and hegemons in contributing to security and stability and conflict prevention and transformation. 3. To share lessons learned and good practice on conflict transformation research between three key countries in different continents. 4. To develop networks of expertise on conflict transformation from an inter-cultrual perspective through workshops, conferences and other networking activities. 5.To provide opportunities for research on cutting-edge issues in conflict transformation for early stage researchers. 6. To analyse potential developments and needs for future conflict resolution efforts and non-traditional transformational approaches to conflict. This will be done through collaboration of joint research and capacity building activities by the three participating Universities of Coventry, UK (COVUNI), Kadir Has (KHU) in Turkey and Stellenbosch in South Africa (SUSA). The ICELCT scheme will provide a staff exchange programme to study contemporary knowledge and innovations on the role of leadership in conflict transformation research and develop the state of the art thinking on these topics. The researchers from KHU and COVUNI will be able to undertake their field work in South Africa with the support and supervision of staff from the SUSA. Meanwhile, researchers from SUSA will be able to use information resources in Istanbul and Coventry, as well as undertaking empirical research in both contexts.

This project aims at developing new materials with tunable properties, conjugating good mechanical properties and photocatalytic activity. New and advanced materials will be synthesized on purpose, characterized and their efficiency as photocatalysts in abating pollutants such as pesticides and emerging pollutants will be evaluated. In the first stage, inorganic materials (TiO2, CNTs, graphene oxide) will be prepared and tested both in dispersed phase or added into a polymeric coating. For such aim, doped semiconductor oxides and carbon nanotubes (alone or combined with oxides) will be synthesized and tested. We also plan to conduct a detailed study of the charge transfer processes in the hetero-junctions to evaluate the factors providing the best performance of the hybrid materials. In addition, the efficiency of surface photochemical processes will be estimated in terms of the quantum yield of surface chemical transformation. In the second stage, preparation and characterization of new UV-cured polymeric materials containing at the same time CNTs or graphene and semiconductor oxides will be carried out, with the aim of exploring the synergistic/antagonist effect of the fillers in the photodegradative process followed by pollutants. For both stages, we plan on investigating the semiconductor properties of the inorganic material and its efficiency in the abatement of pollutants both when the catalyst is dispersed in water or when the target molecule is adsorbed on a polymeric film containing the catalyst dispersed into the network. The polymeric films will be employed for the degradation of pollutants in water or gas phases. In all cases, we will evaluate the initial degradation of the molecule, identify the transformation products and measure the toxicity of the system. Five multidisciplinary groups from Italy (University and Politecnico of Torino), Russia (University of Saint Petersburg), Spain (University of Madrid) and Canada (McGill University) are involved

Wireless communications via optical, unguided carriers opens up new horizons of information and communications (ICT) technologies. Up to now, radio-frequency (RF) based systems have been dominating wireless communications. The RF bands, however, have to accommodate a large variety of communication devices and modes. At the same time, there is a huge amount of unregulated bandwidth available in the upper portions of electromagnetic spectrum. In this context, wireless, unguided optical transmission systems utilizing the largely unexploited portion of the spectrum frequencies are highly promising. Designing future optical wireless system solutions calls for research and development (R&D) efforts. The DETERMINE project develops concepts, models, algorithms, and architecture for free space communication over the optical spectrum. To this end, the project follows the approach of intensive knowledge exchange and competence integration between the partners of the consortium. Optical wireless communications systems are expected on rely on a layered structure, and solution integration across layers is highly desirable. Toward this end, DETERMINE is built around combining knowledge and know-how via exchange of expertise from the physical layer, medium access, network optimization, to end applications. In addition to technological development, DETERMINE contributes to skill acquisition by training early-stage researchers. The knowledge transfer actions are built on a mutual-beneficial basis between the two European partners and the Chinese partner. DETERMINE also implements knowledge exchange with other European efforts in the area, particularly with COST Action IC1101. For the European Research Area (ERA), the exchange actions foster human capital to simulate career development of young and talented researchers in European ICT.

We propose an exchange programme to promote the scientific collaboration in particle physics and related technologies between a network of Egyptian Universities and EU member states Academic Institutions which have already originated innovative transfer of knowledge towards Egypt. The main objectives of the joint exchange programme are: • the reinforcement of the Europe-Egypt scientific collaboration. In particular in past years both France and Italy have funded initiatives in the field of particle physics and related technologies to boost Egyptian interest and personnel training. The present proposition intends to further improve the collaboration by especially allowing long term visits of young and senior Egyptian scientists to perform advanced research on fundamental particle physics in the framework of worldwide large collaborations. Moreover the programme would offer the possibility to second EU researchers to Egypt to originate advanced research activities, advice on the development of the local infrastructures and monitor the success of the transfer of knowledge; • the establishment of a important scientific collaboration between Italy and France on advanced physics concepts and technologies. Although some researchers of the EU Academic Institutions involved in the proposal have already collaborated through the CERN experimental physics program, the possibility of building up an independent common research program would boost enormously the joint research capability. It should be mentioned that the researches involved in these EU institutions can offer an impressive expertise to the activities relevant for this proposal. Their collaboration could therefore have an important European long term impact on the progress of the physics concept and technologies hereby discussed.

SharingSpace. Research on intercultural cities and collective space International migration to cities has become a critical issue in countries of the North as well as of the South affecting all aspects of urban life. Migration is a cross-cutting issue that requires a multiplicity of focuses as well as disciplines and can benefit from comparative analysis. Given that in contemporary globalized cities collective space is where the willingness of society to include or its stance to reject the other becomes manifest, SharingSpace objective is to share the understanding of perceptions, uses and provisions of public space in different EU MSs and TCs. SharingSpace general goal is the creation of a network among research centres focussing on the adequate management of international migration in cities of EU MSs (Venice; Lisbon) and TCs (Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Johannesburg,) as a critical feature of urban policies promoting social cohesion. SharingSpace specific aims are: -to enhance the research skills of researchers -to contribute to the advancement of interdisciplinary studies and comparative research on social and spatial inclusion of international migrants in urban areas. -to strengthen relations among EU MSs and TCs research centres, with the objective of developing further common activities. The Project will overcome barriers among different disciplines that curb the exchange of knowledge and persons in the academic world. The promotion of researchers’ mobility will foster interaction and fusion of different expertise and diverse perspectives for exploring the challenges international migration is posing to urban governance in different contexts. The possibility of publishing scientific articles on the SSIIM Paper Series will contribute to their curriculum development and excellence.

The proposed CALT project aims to bring together the operators of existing and future satellite altimetry permanent calibration sites. This would improve the overall services for the altimeter biases and drifts for each satellite mission (e.g., Jason, Envisat, GFO, Altika, HY-2, Cryosat-2, Sentinel, etc.) and cross calibrate different missions at different world locations on a common and long-term basis. This proposed project would (1) integrate the existing Cal/Val sites; (2) incorporate into CALT the developing sites in other locations (i.e., China and Brazil), (3) develop a unified approach for standards, specifications and procedures for altimetry calibration; and (5) disseminate results within the standards given by the Group on Earth Observation, GLOSS and CEO for sea level changes and for monitoring climate change.

The vision of an interconnected world where wireless sensor, actuator and controllers are embedded everywhere is materializing. The next step in this evolution is to automatically act on the physical environment based on sensor measurements. Examples of such large-scale networked control systems are found in smart grids, intelligent transportation systems, process and automation industries, e-health, and in surveillance, monitoring and early-warning systems. Using current technologies these types of networks will create an unprecedented amount of raw data, which will soon exceed current storage and processing capabilities. Promising concepts such as compressive sensing, distributed compression, cooperative transmission networks, networked control, and information-theoretic security are emerging as potential enabling technologies. Together the program partners have expertise across these areas. The objectives of the proposed collaborative exchange program are threefold. Firstly we aim to identify and solve relevant theoretical challenges in compression, transmission, networked control, and security by leveraging on the recognized complementarities and synergies between partners. Secondly we want to ensure a high level of collaboration and knowledge transfer across all partners such that we can jointly embark on grand challenges ahead. And thirdly, our proposed research is to a large extend relying on existing research projects of common interest to leverage new ground with a high potential for leading into new joint projects.
