The Facilitating Research and Innovation Cooperation between Europe and New Zealand (FRIENZ) project supports the development of strategic research, science and innovation partnerships between Europe and New Zealand (NZ). It provides implementation tools to underpin the 2009 EC-NZ Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement, while increasing the scale, scope and focus for the relationship. FRIENZ will broaden the extent of cooperation and prepare for new policy frameworks that will be in place by the end of the project. FRIENZ brings together policy, implementation, financing and evaluation mechanisms to derive maximum benefit and value for, both parties ( and from, EU and NZ science and innovation collaboration. Particular focus will be given to better identifying and understanding the optimal framework conditions to support international innovation collaboration and support for private sector engagement. Strategic relationships between NZ and European Member States will also be supported. FRIENZ also builds on two previously funded BILAT projects - ACCESS4EU:NZ and FRENZ - providing information, guidance and support to organisations in both Europe and NZ with regard to bilateral cooperation opportunities funded through EC, NZ and Member State programmes. Expected outcomes, over the life of the three-year project, include: new and deeper strategic science and innovation partnerships; a greater understanding of the conditions to stimulate the engagement of private sector and commercial enterprises in NZ and European schemes; closer institutional (research organisation/funder) bilateral collaboration; and greater awareness among New Zealand and Europe science and innovation communities of the opportunities to enhance engagement in mutually beneficial research related activities.

With growth of 7.5% of its gross domestic product in 2010, Brazil was one of the first emerging economies to begin to recover during the recent crisis. According to the OECD, Brazilian performance in some indicators of S&T is still below OECD averages, but a very fast improvement is being registered on key aspects (such as the triadic patents). In 2009, Brazilian gross expenditure on R&D (GERD) was 1.2% of GDP. Innovation is now among Brazilian Government and Enterprises priorities and, as a result, Brazilian GERD is expected to increase considerably in the next years. Such characteristics make of Brazil a key international partner for the European Research Area (ERA). Considering the results of the EU-Brazil ST&I cooperation under the bilateral agreement signed in 2004, as well as the results of past and ongoing initiatives supporting the EU-Brazil ST&I cooperation, B.BICE+ will: -Support the EU-Brazil ST&I policy dialogue, including dialogue on innovation issues, and contribute to the implementation of the EU-Brazil ST&I Roadmap by promoting the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity as well as the objectives of the Innovation Union Initiative. -Promote durable partnerships between EU-Brazil actors of the whole research-to-innovation chain and the sharing of scientific results to enhance the impact of the EU-Brazil ST&I cooperation. -Encourage the coordination between the EU and Member States ST&I programmes and policies targeting Brazil by promoting the implementation of joint actions. -Raise awareness among both EU and Brazilian ST&I communities on the European, Brazilian and MS&AC programmes promoting cooperation on research and innovation. The project will extensively promote the idea of Innovation as an essential mean for tackling global challenges and will respond to the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and its Innovation Union Initiative to promote a “smart, sustainable and inclusive economy”.

The vast quantity of information in our genomes must continuously be read out and processed. This is done by proteins, acting either individually or as part of larger protein complexes. How this genome processing operates successfully, given the crowded nature of the DNA track as well as its mechanical constraints and coiling, is a question of fundamental interest. We will investigate the dynamics of genome processing during DNA transcription and replication. Throughout, we ask the question, what brings these processes to a halt? Focusing on both individual molecular motors and protein complexes, we ask, when do these stall? Both mechanical constraints such as the accumulation of torsional stress and the presence of proteins along the DNA helix may conspire, intentionally or not, to halt transcription and replication. Specifically, we will investigate how RNA polymerases, replicative helicases, and replisomes can be derailed or stalled. These experiments will shed light on the mechanochemical cycle of RNA polymerase, on its motion along a complex track, on the physical interactions that occur between helicases and proteins at termination, and on replisome dynamics near stall. They will also quantify the effects of torsional stress in DNA on the advancement of transcription and replication. The proteins and protein complexes studied here include principal actors in processes essential to cell survival. Understanding the manners in which they can fail will illuminate their mechanism and cellular roles. The powerful single-molecule instrumentation that we have developed in recent years allows one to visualize individual proteins while precisely controlling and monitoring the state of DNA. When harnessed to answer these profound biological questions, we extend not only our knowledge of biological processes but also our understanding of how simple physical principles can govern a wide range of phenomena, thereby having an impact on biology and physics alike.

Implications of the Shifting Gender Balance in Education for Reproductive Behaviour in Europe (GENDERBALL)

This project is the first comprehensive study of the demographic consequences of a major recent development in Europe: while men have always received more education than women in the past, this gender balance in education has now turned around. For the first time in history, there are more highly educated women than men reaching the reproductive ages and looking for a partner. I expect that this will have profound consequences for the demography of reproduction because mating practices have always implied that men are the majority in higher education. These traditional practices are no longer compatible with the new gender distribution in education. The objective of my project is to study in depth the consequences of this historically new situation for reproductive behaviour. The first step of the project is to reconstruct country-specific time series charting the shifting gender balance in education across time and space at different ages. These can then be used as contextual information in subsequent multilevel analyses of reproductive behaviour. In the second part, I will investigate how the reversal of the gender balance is influencing patterns of assortative mating by level of education. Third, I will study how the shifting gender balance is connected to the timing and probability of marriage versus unmarried cohabitation and to the timing and quantum of fertility. Finally, I will investigate the consequences for divorce and separation. Existing data sources will be used that cover a wide range of European countries. This project will not only be ground breaking by setting the research agenda for a new era in the European reproductive landscape. It will also introduce methodological innovations. First, agent based modelling will be used as a method to study assortative mating. Second, I propose a new way to study the causal effect of the gender balance in education. These methodological innovations will prove useful for many other social science projects.

The CONVENIENT project targets a 30% reduction of fuel consumption in vehicles for long-distance freight transport by developing an innovative heavy-truck archetype featuring a suite of innovative energy-saving technologies and solutions. From the customer viewpoint, fuel efficiency is top priority because of its significant impact in terms of cost (in the EU, fuel represents about 30% of the Total Operating Costs for a 40-ton tractor-semitrailer combination). Responding to this challenge, the objective of CONVENIENT is to achieve complete vehicle energy management by proposing highly innovative solutions for improved efficiency and enhanced integration of components (currently designed independently) which will be developed, integrated and evaluated directly on validator vehicles, including: • innovative energy efficient systems, including hybrid transmission, electrified auxiliaries, dual level cooling, parking HVAC • energy harvesting devices, like photovoltaic solar roof for truck and semitrailer; • advanced active and passive aerodynamics devices for the truck and for the semitrailer: • an Holistic Energy Management system at vehicle level; • a Predictive Driver Support to maximize the energy saving benefits. • a novel Hybrid Kinetic Energy Recovery System for the semitrailer. The most relevant and novel aspect of CONVENIENT is represented by the holistic approach to on-board energy management, considering the tractor, semi-trailer, driver and the mission as a whole. The CONVENIENT Consortium, which comprises three major EU truck manufacturers, ten Tier 1/2 suppliers, and a network of nine research centres and Universities, representing European excellence in the field of long distance transport R&D, is uniquely well-qualified with respect to the project scope and the highly ambitious target of achieving 30% gains in vehicle efficiency.

ISIS will provide public security by developing an advanced monitoring system for drinking water networks that instantly detects chemical or biological contamination and gives clear indication of the risk level. Water distribution systems are vulnerable to deliberate, accidental or natural contamination, having many potential entry points for rapid and extensive distribution of harmful substances. Recent increased terrorist activity has raised awareness of the threat. Surveillance platforms for intruder security are available but can only be adapted to alert for chemical and biological contamination if selective, sensitive and instantaneous detectors are available. However, current methods are limited to off-line laboratory analysis, which are too slow to initiate prompt action, or simple indicators (e.g. pH, conductivity), which are limited in the information that they provide, failing to cover many contaminants and rendering decision-making unreliable.. The ISIS project will combine advances in the state-of-the-art in four main areas: sensors; wireless networks; intelligent surveillance strategies and integrated risk analysis software. This combination of technologies is a major advance in security systems, giving a capability for water suppliers that is not currently available. It will enable immediate alert of chemical or biological contaminations and, crucially, indicate not only the location and nature of the hazard, but also the level of risk. This will allow appropriate informed action to be taken and will minimise the chance of false alarms, which not only cost water companies thousands of Euros, but also cause the panic and disruption that are also the aims of terrorist activity The ISIS consortium brings together two water company end-users with security and sensor specialists from the research, academic and SME communities. The partnership of 10 includes 4 SMEs, and has the capability to exploit the product.

With the overall objective to improve psycho-social support in crisis management, the proposed project PsyCris (36-months) has the following goals: (1) status quo analysis of psychological and medical support in crises in European countries, (2) improvement of support strategies for victims and crisis managers, (3) enhancement of psycho-medical preparedness for major incidents (contingency planning), (4) development of interventions to deal with stress and reduce stress related disorders of crisis management personnel and authorities, (4) providing efficient self-help strategies to communities affected by crises and (5) investigation of long-term psychosocial, societal and cultural impact of crises. The 11 partners of the consortium comprise research centres, public bodies, small / medium enterprises and stakeholder / end-user organisations from Germany, Spain, Israel, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Austria. As its main product, the project will provide a set of tool kits enabling (1) efficient handling of relevant data, (2) transfer of knowledge and practical competences relevant for crisis management, stress control and social support and (3) rapid decision-making in concrete crises. The tool kits are integrated within a computerised knowledge system combining e-learning and face-to-face teaching. Research and development are based on a multi-disciplinary approach including methods from psychology (e.g. stress management, human resources management, psycho-trauma intervention), education sciences (e.g. knowledge management), informatics (e.g. decision making heuristics), engineering, sociology and health sciences. Current and possible changes in society, health systems and climate as well as cross-cultural and gender aspects are carefully considered. PsyCris will propose guidelines for preparedness, prevention and intervention for crises. The results will have a significant impact on public health, community resilience, international cooperation and cost containment.

The overall objective of IncREO is to provide actors responsible for disaster management, risk prevention, civil protection and also spatial planning with EO-based solutions contributing particularly to an improved preparedness and mitigation planning for areas highly vulnerable to natural disasters and already noticeable climate change trends. These solutions will be adjusted to the users’ and end-users’ needs and will also reflect on short-term climate change scenarios and related legislature – both on national, supranational and European level. As a multi-risk oriented concept per se any type of natural disaster is addressed. However, selected use cases (dam failure, storm surge and wave height, flood, earthquake and landslide) and the transfer of solutions to a specifically multi-risk prone test site will also be covered. From a technical point of view the IncREO solutions will be based on state-of-the-art methodologies, implemented by means of up-to-date mapping and modelling / procedures and finally appropriately disseminated to the relevant stakeholder groups.
