ERA-NET TRANSPORT II (ENT II) brings together the owners of national transport re-search programmes from thirteen countries, representing an annual public funding volume in the access of € 300 Mio in total. The vision behind ENT is to supplement and enrich na-tional RTD programmes through trans-national cooperation where national programme representatives can see an added value. Since 2003 the ENT has facilitated several successful and valuable cooperation’s between national RTD programmes. ERA-NET TRANSPORT II will further develop the cooperative ENT framework for trans-national transport research programming, thereby supporting the owners of national programmes in trans-national cooperation. ENT II will further step up the level of cooperation with the minimum goals of three joint calls, one ERA-Net plus and one joint programme. ERA-NET TRANSPORT is based on three fundamental principles: voluntarity of participation and variable geometry of cooperation actions, sovereignty of national programmes and openness to new partners. The ERA-NET TRANSPORT II will • further increase the cohesion and knowledge base of the network, • develop more intensive and comprehensive cooperation actions between national programmes with focus on joint calls and joint programming, • develop further cooperation between national programmes and the EC, such as it is envisaged for the schemes of ENT plus and Article 169 initiatives, • streamline support measures and mechanisms to ensure smoother processes both nationally and through the coordination of research funding activities initiated in ENT, • actively contribute to the development of a coherent Transport ERA by networking with European and international stakeholders and • broaden its geographical scope by including more countries in the ERA-NET TRANSPORT.

For all of the time, effort, and money invested in attempts to help individuals develop through education, training and coaching, there are few studies that really assess the real impact of the change process. Reasons for this paucity are lack of convenience and practicality of longitudinal designs to study demonstrable results at the individual level. Additionally, the intricacies of adult development may cast a shadow over the understanding of the individual change process, for example, the “honeymoon effect” of the typical training programs might start with improvement immediately following the program, but within months it drops precipitously (Campbell et al., 1970) or the “sleeper effect”, that states that reactions to events do not appear until six to twelve months following completion of the change effort (McClelland, 1970). The INSEAD Global Leadership Centre (IGLC) is engaged in an endeavor to promote adult development in its executive programs. Properly designed 360-degree feedback questionnaires developed by the IGLC constitute the trigger of an introspective journey, and set into motion changes in behavior (Kets de Vries, Vrignaud, Florent-Treacy & Korotov, 2007). To study the relationship between the questionnaires will provide a comprehensive structure of the instruments while helping to design development plans that are coherent with the individuals and their desired change process. These instruments are the basis for studying the leadership development in management education. This research has the objective of assessing in what ways and to what extend transformational programmes enhance individual development. It is an in-depth, longitudinal study of IGLC interventions designed to foster capabilities in individuals and groups (e.g. training and coaching efforts that target self-awareness and other abilities). This research may include in-depth qualitative inquiry as well as quantitative assessment of effectiveness.

Net sEaward Sand Transport during major Storms (NESTS)

The aim of ``Net sEaward Sand Transport during major Storms’’ (NESTS) is to investigate the mechanisms and to estimate the amount of cross-shore sediment transport beyond the coastal zone (&gt;~100 m depth) during major storms (wind speed &gt; 6 m/s, wave height &gt; 4 m). The classical hypothesis suggests that the definitive loss of sand (the visible coastal erosion) originates mainly from alongshore flux. New observations, instead, show that, in addition to the alongshore transport, there are events of sand transport also cross-shore outside the coastal zone. The net seaward sand transport represents the amount of sand that does not contribute anymore to the coastal morphodynamics. The present proposal addresses one of the main environmental concern for the European Union. Coastal erosion represents a danger constantly increasing, considering that almost half the European population lives along the coast and that the frequency of violent storms increases because of climate change. The novelty introduced by NESTS is the realization of one of the first detailed data set of observed cross-shore sediment transport measurements during storms at various locations. The observed data will be used to describe the NESTS events at the desired sites. Moreover, the collected data will be available to other European groups through the website www.gladys-littoral.org. Starting from this experience, the data collected can be used to initialize the first European coastal monitoring network which will be integrated by the data from other European groups. We plan to estimate (1) the seaward sediment flux during storms; (2) the atmospheric thresholds and the morphological conditions that lead to NESTS events; (3) the dominant forcing during NESTS (wind generated currents, wave currents, infragravity waves, etc…) using in situ observations from upward-looking ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter), pressiometer nets, sediment traps, wind-waves buoy.

We propose to develop an analytical platform for single-cell metabolomics and apply it in fundamental studies carried out on a model eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Due to the minute amounts of metabolites present in each cell, almost all current methods used in biochemistry and molecular biology provide data that are averaged over an entire cell population while even cells in monoclonal cultures display profound variations on all physiological levels. This approach to molecular biology is dramatically altering our view of the key questions in cellular function and interplay. The ultimate quest for a quantitative and mechanistic model comprising cellular processes requires a new methodology. The proposed single-cell metabolome studies will be achieved through microfluidic cell processing for sample preparation, on-line microscale separation of metabolites and detection by a high sensitivity mass spectrometric method. Our single-cell approach to metabolomics research will permit us to collect data on the cellular metabolome, which can then be utilized for the modelling of cellular metabolism. This new platform for systems biology can find numerous applications ranging from fundamental cell science to personalized medication.

In the present project the degree of linear polarization of fluorescence in molecular ions populated via the Auger decay of Raman regime resonantly excited inner-shells of the NO and CO molecules will be studied theoretically and experimentally for the first time. In the NO molecule we will focus on the Auger decay of the N*O and NO* resonances into the A state of the NO+ ion investigating the intensities and the degree of polarization of the individual NO+(A - X) fluorescence bands appears in the VUV range. In the CO molecule we will concentrate on the Auger decay of the C*O and CO* resonances into the A state of the CO+ ion analyzing the intensities and degree of polarization of the individual CO+(A - X) fluorescence bands appears in the visible fluorescence range. Experimental analysis of the degree of linear polarization of emitted fluorescence will be performed by means of the Photon-Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy method utilizing synchrotron radiation. The configuration interaction approach based on the core and valence molecular orbitals obtained within the MO LCAO method and continuum molecular orbitals obtained within the Single Center technique will be applied in order to interpret the observed fluorescence spectra. It is expected, that angular distribution of the fluorescence emission can elucidate a strong interference between closely neighbouring vibronic (lifetime vibrational interference) and electronic (electronic state interference) states overlapping within their natural lifetime widths even in the cases with the condition of small interference (e.g., in the inner-shell N*O and C*O excitations), were the interference effects were not observed previously by measuring the Resonant Auger spectra.

Agricultural research in the Mediterranean is characterised by three main features: it is scattered within the EU members and in Mediterranean Partner Countries as well as most of the problems and challenges that the Mediterranean agriculture is facing are shared by all the countries in the area and even further, its objectives are largely the same in the whole area, even if priorities can vary from one country to another; the conditions resulting from climate change as well as the objective of sustainable development and production need to rethink agricultural research in all the countries and to begin its alignment in the whole area to increase its impact. This situation allows and requires a coordination action at the level of the Mediterranean (among EU members and between them and the other Mediterranean countries) to fight again fragmentation in fostering the convergence of national programmes and in founding a new critical mass to address the key issues (such as the growing demand for safer, healthier and higher quality food; the sustainable production and use of renewable bio-resources; threats to the sustainability and security of agricultural and fisheries production resulting in particular from climate change), to increase excellence and relevance of research, to enhance and strengthen the cooperation within the region in sharing the objectives and the priorities. These are the aims of the proposal of an ERA-Net as a European Initiative for Coordination of Agricultural Research in the Mediterranean (ARIMNet) which bears clearly a double ambition: to enhance coordination of agricultural research programmes within the Mediterranean area and to improve the cooperation within the area. It is gathering twelve countries (6 EU members, 2 associated country and 4 other Mediterranean countries) and the programmes that could be under the coordination action are gathering more than 3000 researchers and 300 million euros per year.

Polypterids or bichirs are a small group of African freshwater fishes often regarded as 'living fossils' because of their large number of primitive characters. Bichirs form the most basal branch of extant actinopterygians and have played an outstanding role in any study on the evolution of the major vertebrate clades. As a first step towards a modern treatment of these extraordinary ray-finned fishes, the present project will provide an up-to-date taxonomic analysis of the family Polypteridae incorporating for the first time all major museum holdings in Europe and the rest of the world. In a second step the phylogenetic relationships of all polypterid species will be analysed using state-of-the-art morphological and molecular methods. The core of the proposed project will comprise a detailed description and analysis of polypterid skeletal ontogeny, based on complete developmental series of the two extant genera Polypterus and Erpetoichthys, which are unique in the world. Characters relevant for the phylogenetic placement of polypterids among gnathostomes will be reevaluated from an ontogenetic point of view. This part of the study will also address important question of skeletal homology among basal osteognathostomes and aid in their resolution. The results will form an important reference for future studies on the comparative anatomy and phylogeny of basal vertebrate groups, as well as developmental genetic studies searching for the basal pattern of vertebrate development.

NET-HERITAGE is the first significant initiative ever attempting to coordinate national RTD programmes of European countries and support European RTD Programmes in the field of research applied to Protection for Tangible Cultural Heritage. It aims to exert a massive, positive impact through the following objectives: - provide an integrated picture of the state of the art of cultural heritage research in EUMember States and at the European level; -overcome the lack of a coordinated research structure in this specific and multidisciplinary sector, with programmes fostering integration between art-history-conservation-maintenance-restoration areas and architectural-chemical-physics-engineering areas; - limit fragmentation within and among national research programmes, identifying common strategic priorities for research and programmes; - create effective actions to stimulate the exploitation of research results, and underpin cooperation between researchers and cultural heritage institutions for the application of identified solutions; - face problems due to insufficient and dispersed funding, in terms of local level and size of funding, compared to other research sectors; - favour exchange between national and European work programmes, to avoid a single top-down approach. NET-HERITAGE intends to achieve the following main outcomes: - coordinating actions within the EU partnership; - favouring protection of moveable and immoveable tangible cultural heritage; - expanding the potential of the cultural heritage research sector; - enhancing dissemination of research results and news in the field of protection of tangible cultural heritage; - increasing the visibility of the socio-economic importance of this sector; - supporting educational and training programmes and activities in the sector; - developing a common framework of policies for improving cultural heritage protection; - favouring common actions to promote Cultural Heritage research outside EU

Chromosome elimination in plant wide hybrids – explaining the phenomenon and applying lessons from a model system in Hordeum to problems of speciation, gene introgression and breeding new crop plants. (CHROMELIM)

Complete uniparental chromosome elimination occurs in some plant interspecific and intergeneric hybrid combinations. This phenomenon precludes viable hybrids from developing and results in haploid embryo formation of only one of the parents. It is, therefore, a major barrier for introgressing desirable traits from wild species into crop plants and breeding new crop species. We will investigate selective elimination of parental chromosomes during the development of hybrid embryos by using crosses in the genus Hordeum as a model since the degree of chromosome retention is influenced by parental genotype and environmental conditions after fertilisation. Once the crosses are made our aims are first, to establish whether a genome dosage exists to promote or retard elimination; second, to characterise the tissue-specific nature of elimination; and third, to identify which barley chromosomes are involved in elimination. We will use combined immunostaining methods and cytogenetic analyses to determine the activity and location of the highly conserved histone H3-like centromeric protein A (CENH3), which acts as a regulator of the mitosis-dependent elimination process. The knowledge gained should result in immense benefits accruing to agriculture by allowing the prediction of suitable crosses for either haploid or hybrid plants, both of which can be used in practical plant breeding programmes. Furthemore, we will make a huge step forward in our understanding of the interaction of parental genomes in newly-formed hybrids to provide valuable new insights into species evolution.
