Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the primary cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Europe. In current clinical practice, patients with chronic CAD are followed using non-invasive imaging methodologies for possible adverse morphologic remodelling and functional recovery of the myocardium before the decision for invasive examinations and treatments is taken. Technological developments have brought about several newer imaging methodologies (and associated parameters) that have shown accurate prognostic results under study conditions in selected patient populations. Each of these methodologies offers intrinsic advantages and disadvantages due to the physiologic processes it tries to assess, due to the technology it requires or due to its availability (often determined by its associated cost). However, to date, no large scale studies have made a direct comparison of the different methodologies towards predicting adverse morphologic remodelling or functional recovery of the myocardium after medical therapy. The lack of such information results in a sub-optimal use of the methodologies at hand. The aim of DOPPLER-CIP is therefore to conduct a multi-centre clinical study including about 1200 patients in order to determine the optimal prognostic parameters derived from (new) non-invasive imaging for a patient presenting with suspected chronic ischemic heart disease. The modality used to extract these parameters is of secondary importance. However, as both the accuracy and the cost related to extracting a particular parameter is modality-dependent, DOPPLER-CIP will also make a cost-effectiveness analysis in order to determine which modality should preferentially be used to extract the clinically most relevant parameter.

FUTURAGE aims to produce the definitive road map that will guide European research on ageing and health for the next 10-15 years. It represents plans for the most extensive consultation ever conducted in this field and for the mobilisation of not only the leading scientists but also the stakeholders that will determine the fate of the road map. FUTURAGE combines all of the major coordination actions in the ageing field, including an ERA-Net and, on this basis, promises to produce the most comprehensive formally grounded and scientifically credible road map, as well as one that commands wide support. FUTURAGE represents a unique set of partnerships among leading scientists and between scientists and key stakeholders. It builds on and extends the existing ERA-AGE collaboration (12 existing partners) by (i) combining all of the key coordination actions and specific support actions on ageing of the past decade including: FORUM, ERA-AGE LINK-AGE and AGEACTION, (ii) extending the collaboration to new Member States, (iii) integrating scientists and programme managers, (iv) emphasising knowledge translation and policy impact and (v) engaging all key stakeholders. The resulting roadmap will not only represent the state-of-the-art in scientific terms but will also reflect the needs of a wide range of research users including funders, industry, policy makers, practitioners and older people.

Urban health is important due urbanisation and requires specific information not captured by national datasets. The EURO-URHIS (www.urhis.eu) project funded by DG SANCO, identified urban health indicators and their availability. EURO-URHIS 2 aims to develop methodology and validated tools useful to policy makers at all levels to make health gains via evidence based policy decisions for urban populations. The objectives are to collect data at UA level; provide tools for evidence based policy; develop methods for cross-sectional and longitudinal assessment for urban population health including all relevant determinants of health; validate these tools and methods by using existing population-based registries and databases; apply the tools in the field and ensuring they are easy and intuitive to use by policy makers. The data will be collected using surveys of existing sources; priorities of policy makers in terms of policies and interventions for their urban area and a lifestyle/environment individual survey. The strategy will be formulated, piloted, translated and disseminated. Data collected will be validated and analysed to develop the specific tools for policy makers to use. The meta-data collected will form the context to investigating trends in policy, major health problems and investigating the link between the two. Differences in health indicators could be compared for benchmarking and to make changes. The opinions of policy makers regarding the tools will also be evaluated. We will collaborate with policy-makers, researchers and civil society through a number of activities including consultation during the development stage, through training workshops and the conference. Dissemination will be multi-modal co-ordinated through websites in formats adapted to different user-groups. Training of doctoral and post-doctoral students will ensure future researchers interested in this expanding field. At all stages, stakeholders will be consulted.

The purpose of the 6DEPLOY project is to support the deployment of IPv6 in (i) e-Infrastructure environments, thereby improving the use of existing research infrastructures for all fields of science and technology, (ii) FP7 projects, (iii) developing countries (Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe), and (iv) more-commercial environments in Europe. 6DEPLOY exploits the expertise and high quality training material from the 6DISS project, including presentations, the e-learning course and 2 testbeds that can be accessed remotely. Whilst continuing to offer basic training to organisations in Europe and developing countries it focuses on supporting real IPv6 deployments. It will maintain and update the 6DISS material and include new training media, and multiply its training effectiveness through courses which educate other trainers about the basics of IPv6, so that they can teach others (“training trainers”). The outreach to European industries and researchers and giving practical support for deployments are the 2 key new services offered by 6DEPLOY. Developing regions (in Europe and abroad) are often the early adopters of IPv6, given that they have less legacy IPv4 networks installed. Requests have already been received through contacts made in 6DISS for supporting deployments in a 16-site University campus in Argentina, and in less developed regions such as Colombia and Nigeria. These Case Studies will be used to gain valuable practical experience which will be brought back to support deployments within EC e-Infrastructure projects. The 6DEPLOY team will become the centre of European expertise regarding IPv6 deployment. This expertise will also be used to support more-commercial deployments in Europe, in industry branches such as Emergency Services, Health, Broadcast, Transport, Schools, Environment, Gaming, etc. These sectors will be reached through our contacts with other EC projects, IPv6 Task Forces and the EvanIPv6 Association.

This proposal is meant to facilitate the transition of Prof. Auguste (Guust) Nolet from Princeton University back to Europe (Université de Nice/Sophia Antipolis). It addresses three aspects of his current research in global seismic tomography: 1. The merging of seismic data in different frequency ranges, including travel times and amplitudes of phases that do not satisfy the assumptions of geometrical optics ('finite-frequency tomography'), 2. Expanding the seismological data acquisition to the oceans by equiping underwater floats with hydrophones, 3. Incorporating wavelet expansions into the tomographic inversion. At a time that the first results from finite-frequency tomography are yielding very relevant results for an understanding of the Earth's chemical and thermal evolution, it is important that current research can be continued uninterrupted. The Marie Curie grant would enable active communication between researchers in the US and Europe with Nolet and his new students in France, and involve the oceanography group in Villefranche in the development of floats.

Nearly four million osteoporotic bone fractures cost the European health system more than 30 billion Euro per year. This figure could double by 2050. After the first fracture, the chances of having another one increase by 86%. We need to prevent osteoporotic fractures. The first step is an accurate prediction of the patient-specific risk of fracture that considers not only the skeletal determinants but also the neuromuscular condition. The aim of VPHOP is to develop a multiscale modelling technology based on conventional diagnostic imaging methods that makes it possible, in a clinical setting, to predict for each patient the strength of his/her bones, how this strength is likely to change over time, and the probability that the he/she will overload his/her bones during daily life. With these three predictions, the evaluation of the absolute risk of bone fracture will be much more accurate than any prediction based on external and indirect determinants, as it is current clinical practice. These predictions will be used to: i) improve the diagnostic accuracy of the current clinical standards; ii) to provide the basis for an evidence-based prognosis with respect to the natural evolution of the disease, to pharmacological treatments, and/or to preventive interventional treatments aimed to selectively strengthen particularly weak regions of the skeleton. For patients at high risk of fracture, and for which the pharmacological treatment appears insufficient, the VPHOP system will also assist the interventional radiologist in planning the augmentation procedure. The various modelling technologies developed during the project will be validated not only in vitro, on animal models, or against retrospective clinical outcomes, but will also be assessed in term of clinical impact and safety on small cohorts of patients enrolled at four different clinical institutions, providing the factual basis for effective clinical and industrial exploitations.

The principal objectives of CORNET II are to broaden, deepen and sustain the trans-national cooperation between programmes supporting Collective Research and thereby to build the CORNET brand. More specifically, our objectives are to: - establish a long-term sustainable structure for a continuously strengthened and extended collaboration on Collective Research across Europe (WP1); - increase the number of CORNET Calls for Proposals, their budgets, the number of funded projects etc. as well as ensure coordination with similar initiatives, e.g. the Framework Programme’s Research for SME Associations and the EraSME ERA-NET (WP2); - further expand the CORNET consortium to integrate new partners (WP3); - and to disseminate and communicate the benefits of Collective Research to all stakeholders (WP4). CORNET II will therefore consolidate the achievements of CORNET I. It will focus on the long-term strategic positioning and institutional anchoring of CORNET in the European Research Area, while strengthening joint operational activities, especially joint Calls. The core STRATEGIC GOALS of CORNET II by the end of the project are to: - achieve a sustainable state of integration among the CORNET partners in relation to the scientific, managerial and financial dimensions of joint programme management, including an appropriate form of common formal organisation, and - position CORNET long-term in the European Research Area, notably in dialogue with and in relation to the Framework Programme’s Research for SME Associations, including the possibility of becoming in time the principal or even sole vehicle for funding transnational Collective Research projects at European level.

The main goal of the LENVIS project is to develop an innovative collaborative decision support network for exchange of location-based environmental and health services between all stakeholders, for enhanced capacity to assess population exposure and health risks and better management of the concerned ecosystems. LENVIS will include health indicators as integral part of the environmental management. There is a growing demand for real time and integrated environmental and health risk information. Provision of such location-based services linked to the state of the environment at particular geographical locations (addresses) is necessary for improving the quality of life of all people. This is essential for mitigation of environmental-related health threats associated to water quantity and quality, and outdoor air pollutions. LENVIS project aims to fill the existing gap between environmental management and the health management systems. This will be done by developing a generic ICT solution that combines service-oriented-architecture (SOA) and user-centric approach (peer-to-peer network, P2P) by fusion of location-based environmental and health data, information and modelling services. This novel collaborative peer-to-peer network, as an integral part of the Single Information Space for the Environment in Europe, will be validated through test cases on fresh surface water and outdoor air quality in the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy. LENVIS project will facilitate collaboration between different stakeholders, such as environmental protection agencies, health institutions and service providers, policy makers, citizens in general and environmental communities in Europe.

The aim of the ECODE proposal is to develop, implement and validate experimentally a cognitive routing system. This system will use cognitive techniques to provide a routing system able to meet the future Internet challenges. The project gathers networking and machine learning experts to address these challenges efficiently. In architectural phase one, the cognitive routing system is designed and prototyped. In phase two, we consider three representative sets of use cases to evaluate the benefits of machine learning techniques to improve a) the Internet manageability and security, b) the availability of Internet paths, and c) the scalability and quality of the Internet routing system. Concerning the manageability and security use case, the project will develop, implement and experiment new techniques that allow 1) to adaptively sample traffic on core links, 2) to efficiently monitor the path performance by combining passive and active measurements, and 3) to cooperatively detect traffic anomalies leading to performance or QoS decrease, and cooperatively detect intrusions and attacks. Concerning the availability use case, the project will develop, implement and experiment new techniques to allow 1) efficient path ranking based on QoS and availability metrics, 2) routers to efficiently reroute paths to other links in case of failure, and 3) routers to correlate traffic flows to diagnose and predict deviation over time. Concerning the routing scalability and quality use case, the project will develop, implement and experiment new techniques to detect events that are detrimental to the routing system dynamics and to efficiently react to such events. In phase three, we implement and experiment novel semi-supervised, on-line, and distributed machine learning techniques within the cognitive routing system. The experimentation and the validation of the techniques developed in the project will be carried on physical (iLAB) and virtual (e.g., OneLab) experimental facilities.
