The CRISALIS project aims at providing new means to secure critical infrastructure environments from targeted attacks, carried out by resourceful and motivated individuals. The recent discovery of a malware called Stuxnet, show that these threats are already a reality. Their success in infiltrating Critical Infrastructure environments is calling attention on the ineffectiveness of standard security mechanisms at detecting them. Stuxnet is believed to have been operating undetected for almost one year leveraging multiple vulnerabilities that were previously unknown, and has been discovered only as a consequence to an operational anomaly that triggered the attention of the field operators. This fact clearly shows that our methods to find vulnerabilities and detect ongoing or successful attacks in critical infrastructure environments are not sufficient. CRISALIS focuses on these two aspects: detection of vulnerabilities and attacks in critical infrastructure environments. We focus on two different, yet interlinked, use cases that are typical for the power grid infrastructure: control systems based on SCADA protocols and the Advanced Metering Infrastructure. CRISALIS leverages the unique characteristics of critical infrastructure environments to produce novel practical mechanisms and techniques for their security assessment and protection. This is achieved by pursuing three main research objectives: (i) providing new methodologies and techniques to secure critical infrastructure systems; (ii) providing new tools to detect intrusions; (iii) developing new, more effective, techniques to analyze infected systems. Particular attention is paid to ensure the practical implementation of these techniques in real-world environments, and to minimize the impact on operations, goals which are attainable thanks to the direct involvement in the process of end users and device manufacturers who provide expertise and realistic test environments to validate the proposed methodologies.

SURPRISE re-examines the relationship between security and privacy, which is commonly positioned as a ‘trade-off’. Where security solutions involve the collection of information about citizens, questions arise as to whether their privacy has been infringed. This infringement of individual privacy is sometimes seen as an acceptable cost of enhanced security. Similarly, citizens are seen as willing to trade-off their privacy for enhanced personal security in different settings. These common understandings of the security-privacy relationship, both at state and citizen levels, have informed policymakers, legislative developments and best practice guidelines concerning security developments across the EU. However, an emergent body of work questions the validity of the security-privacy trade-off, suggesting that this has over-simplified the consideration of the impact and acceptability of security solutions on citizens in current security policy and practice. Thus, the more complex issues underlying privacy concerns and public scepticism towards surveillance-oriented security solutions (SOSSs) may not be apparent to legal and technological experts. In response to these developments, this project will consult with citizens from several EU member and associated states on the question of the security-privacy trade-off as they evaluate different security solutions. Through extensive preparatory work, the project will identify and empirically examine the influence of a broad range of issues upon their evaluations. Using citizen consultation meetings, questionnaires and innovative visual methods, a representative, fine-grained picture from across Europe will be provided. Further, citizens’ understanding of privacy protection laws, their enforcement, and the acceptance levels of SOSSs, will be explained. Finally, a set of context-dependent dimensions for decision support concerning the acceptability of new SOSSs which promotes civil rights protection will be produced.

The objective for the ENCOUNTER project is to identify, explore and validate both existing and innovative techniques for mitigation and neutralisation of found Improvised Explosive Devises (IED) in urban/civil environment. ENCOUNTER will start off with revisiting actual practices. Relevant scenarios will be developed where different types of IEDs and different stand-off distances will be considered. New innovative techniques for both mitigation and neutralisation of IEDs in urban/civil environment will be developed and evaluated. The techniques for neutralisation and mitigation will be tested according to the scenarios in terms of reliability and safety. The outcome will be a recommendation matrix for the Police forces where they easily can chose the correct countermeasure for the current situation. ENCOUNTER will also look into the legal and societal issues involved.

Today's Fully Electric Vehicles (FEV) have limited driving ranges. Customer surveys prove an adequately long and dependable driving range is more important than the cost of ownership. Therefore considerable efforts are being made to meet this challenge, e.g. higher capacity batteries and powertrain efficiencies. The OpEneR project (Optimal Energy consumption and Recovery) addresses this fundamental FEV weakness. OpEneR aims to unlock the FEV market by increasing the driving range, not by enhancing battery technologies, but by the development of an intelligent energy management and recovery system, integrating existing subsystems with on-board and off-board sensors. The objective is a new energy manager coordinating control strategies to maximise real world energy saving. The system provides advanced driver support based on a networked architecture comprising battery management, e machine, regenerative braking, satellite navigation, dashboard displays, whilst integration of the vehicle stability controller and environmental sensing care also for safety issues. OpEneR considers the dynamic boundary conditions for electric braking, i.e. traction limits, system temperatures, battery charge. The driver is assisted to maximise energy recovery, avoiding unnecessary disc braking. Driver support includes estimated braking distance, recuperation capability visualization and braking tips based on traffic flow / navigation data and predictive cooperative information, car-to-car (c2c) and car-to-infrastructure (c2i). This requires a new integrated approach where all available information is used to generate safe and efficient predictions. Currently little data is exchanged between the diverse subsystems and no overall HMI concept exists. OpEneR addresses these issues to maximise efficiency and recuperation to significantly extend FEV range. The final project goal is to demonstrate the benefits of OpEneR strategies with 2 fully operational FEV tested in real world conditions.

Adhesion of Microorganisms on hulls, Algae to the coated surface, is the precursor of later fixation of macro-organisms, which causes serious hydrodynamic problems. Research and innovative developments of environmental friend surface protection is the main goal of the present project. The basic idea concerns the modification of usual hulls by providing a new antifouling coating, by fixing covalently bioactive molecules, which can provide biocide activity, in order to avoid leaching and to promote a long-term effect of surface protection. This requires the binding through a molecular bridge and to study the effective concentration of the binded active compounds. The new surface coating technology will by this way minimize the surface roughness and improve hydrodynamic properties of hulls.

The sustainable integration of the electric vehicles requires an intelligent charging system for the real-time exchange of charge related data between FEVs and the grid in order to allow the management of: • high-current fast-charging for large numbers of FEVs in a brand-independent way • price-adaptive charging/reverse-charging at optimum price for the customer • the real-time grid balancing according to spatial and temporal needs and capacities, influenced by the demand (FEVs) and the supply side (unpredictability of regenerative energies) • competent remote load charging process control in order to prevent damages of FEV batteries. It is the objective of e-DASH to develop those IC Technologies and processes that are needed to achieve the real-time integration of “FEVs” in the European Electricity Grid to enable an optimum electricity price to the customer and at the same time allows an effective load balancing in the grid. Great emphasis is placed on the “openness of the V2OEM Interface” granting access to multiple players maintaining the customers’ choice. e-DASH is structured into 5 work packages, with: • WP 100 addresses project administration and scientific coordination • WP 200 defines relevant functionalities for the use case and covers all EV-related developments as to the over-the-plug and the over-the-air communication • WP 300 addresses the development of the E-Mobility Broker and OEM Back-End • WP 400 develops the “Demand Clearing House” and the respective FEV demand & supply management – grid balancing system • 500 covering cross-cutting items: legal aspects, dissemination and standardization, system validation & demonstration e-DASH will become crucial to future electric road transport by providing the necessary intelligent charging system, which is able to balance locally and temporarily in almost real-time the electricity demand of large numbers of FEVs (fast charging) and instable regenerative energy supply.

The aim of the ETTIS project is a) to identify, understand and assess in a scenarios framework future threats, needs and opportunities for societal security, b) to develop and test a methodological approach and model for a revolving process of security research priority setting, c) to derive research priorities geared towards the needs of user organisations, as well as rationales and options for policy intervention, and d) to help increase awareness of and attention to security research results, and contribute to overcoming barriers by advancing and testing a range of intelligence tools and techniques. ETTIS relies on a comprehensive concept of security that encompasses both technological and non-technological opportunities as well as emerging security-related ethical, cultural and organisational challenges. It conducts a comprehensive analysis of completed, on-going and planned security research projects. Future threats and associated needs of security organisations are explored in context and situational scenarios. The identification and assessment of opportunities for enhancing societal security is conducted within the context of these scenarios. The options identified are assessed in a stakeholder process, aiming to identify collective priorities. Needs and options for policy intervention are explored, with a particular emphasis on the European policy level. The work is embedded in a generalised methodological framework and learning environment for threat- and opportunity-based priority-setting, which serves also for updating the European security research agenda. The importance assigned to stakeholder interactions is reflected in the weight given to the work package on dissemination and the management of user interfaces. The results of ETTIS are expected to help improve the situation awareness of authorities, stakeholders and the population, and provide them with the necessary methods to better assess alternative investment options for societal security.

Micro-manufacturing requires 'Zero-Defect' oriented approaches, both in large scale and in short-run production. Current quality control approaches, coming from macro-manufactring, are mainly based on post-process geometric control, which produces a large time lag between the defect generation and its detection, usually leading to large amount of defect parts (large scale) or wasted high value processing (short run). Moreover, this approach does not immediately point the error source to help with error correction, and other criteria such as material integrity, physical properties, surface topography and piece or component functionality are not taken into account typically. There is clear need for extending the final product validation to a process monitoring approach in micro-manufacturing, where all the manufacturing process is monitored, from the raw material to the fabrication processes and the manipulation of the final parts, and where all this information is processed in real time with suitable models for error prediction, automatic detection and process optimization by system correction. The project will give a global solution for the 'zero defect' approach in micro-manufacturing, with a focus on the aspects that are specific to micro-manufacturing. The develop technologies concepts are expected to have in impact in the competitiveness of the micro-manufacturers in the following ways: - reducing process variability detecting defects as soon as they are generated or in the case that it is possible, are going to be generated by predicting models. - allowing the use of less expensive machines, that can reduce their variability through monitoring. - requiring less skilled working force, thanks to acquired process setting knowledge and the development of smart decision-making tools.

The new methodologies and protocols of forensic identification by craniofacial superimposition (MEPROCS) project aims to propose a common EU framework to allow the extensive application of the CS technique in practical forensic identification scenarios commonly tackled by the European scientific police units. This framework will include: i) the implementation of an existing semi-automatic method to assist the forensic experts in the application of the CS technique, resulting in a simple, quick, and systematic approach; ii) the definition of standard protocols at European level, leading to the objective application of the CS technique in different forensic identification scenarios; and iii) the specification of a forensic science methodology to provide an objective evaluation of the forensic identification results achieved by CS, avoiding particular assumptions that could bias the process. Hence, the project clearly promotes the validation and exchange of CS protocols and methodologies among different organisations. The particular objectives of this project concern supporting the development of a trustable CS methodological framework by fulfilling requirements covering educational, technical, economic, social, and security aspects.
