The aim of the SEREN coordination action is to link the different NCPs of the Security research programme, to initiate coordination in the network, and to improve the quality of the network and, as a matter of fact, the ability of its members to deliver a high level of service to the community. Security Research presents several specificities as compared to other COOPERATION’s thematic priorities. In consequence, perhaps more than in the other FP7 programmes and thematic priorities, there is a strong necessity to inform and support the European Security Research community to participate to FP7. However, because ESRP is a new programme within FP7, NCPs are also new to the domain and the level of experience is therefore heterogeneous. Therefore, we believe that there is a need to reinforce the network of National Contact Points of the Security Research thematic priority. The SEREN-phase I project shall last over an 18 months period towards the implementation of an established and performing NCP network in security research.

The Emergency Support System (ESS) is a suite of real-time data-centric technologies which will provide actionable information to crisis managers during abnormal events. This information will enable improved control and management, resulting in real time synchronization between forces on the ground (police, rescue, firefighters) and out-of-theater command and control centers (C&amp;C). The approach guiding the ESS project is based on the fusion of variable forms of field-derived data within a central system which will then provide information analysis and decision support applications at designated C&amp;C locations. To do this, ESS will achieve the following objectives: i) Improvement of front end data collection technologies (radioactivity, bio-chemical, audio-video, etc.) installed both on portable and fixed platforms, providing a flexible yet comprehensive coverage of the affected area; ii) this data will then be fused and analyzed to provide real-time decision support; iii) ESS will make these resources readily available to commanders through the use of easily accessible web-portals. Thus, ESS will minimize the uncertainty that characterizes crisis events, thereby limiting their scope. The ESS will then be field tested at three different scenarios, including a stadium evacuation, a forest fire and toxic waste dump accidents. The ESS consortium consists of 19 partners that will bring together a wide spectrum of European SME’s, industrial and academic partners from a variety of fields, ranging from sensor design and electronic communications to civil protection. The resulting cooperation will help provide an added measure of security to European citizens. Crisis situations are characterized by partial information according to which commanders need to make life and death decisions. By helping decision makers make decisions based on better and more complete data, ESS will help limit the scope of crises, ultimately saving precious lives.

TECH-CLINIC SST proposal is aimed at implementing Commissioner Potocnick's vision of the Knowledge Triangle, based on research/innovation/education, by targeting Education and young generations. The expected impact is to have young man and woman highly qualified attracted by surface transport research when time comes to direct their career and identification job opportunities at the service of European Industries in surface transport. European Surface Transport Industrial leadership relies on competency, know-how, and collaboration. Faced with such a urgent need, TECH-CLINIC SST project proposes in this way to enrol a pioneer way of communication and stimulating campaigns on Surface Transport Research results by targeting for the first time young people, focused on all major research priority lines defined for surface transport: greening, corridors and urban mobility, safety and security, competitiveness, by involving the major stakeholders from industry, academia and society. The 18 months project will therefore map Surface Transport Industry knowledge needs on Human skills and competencies in meeting their research and innovation needs, in rail, road and waterborne (WP1); it follows the creation of Technological Clinics by meeting Industry and young people to stimulate their cooperation at an early stage before they step in work market (WP2); that should be implemented by multicultural and multi-sciences "Cafes Scientifiques" (WP3); Dissemination will play key role throughout all Work Packages of the project, being extension of such campaign to other than the consortium partners, will be assured at the end of the project, supported by an impact assessment (WP4). Visibility of Surface Transport Research Projects results, taken from FPs, will be at the core of the information supplied to young people. By using an integrated approach to Surface Transport as a system; being rail, road, maritime, freight and passengers from vehicle to user and infrastructure.

This Marie Curie IAPP involves two partners – the University of Sussex UK, and CDH AG, a German SME employing around 30 people, supplying high-quality computer-aided engineering to the global automotive industry. A 4-year project is proposed involving secondments of both early-stage and experienced researchers. The proposed topic of research is on the probabilistic modelling and analysis of uncertain structures important to vibro-acoustic design of automotive vehicles, aerospace, and marine structures. The research project will attempt to extend a new approach developed by the partners which has been tested in the low-frequency region, but also has the potential to work in the mid- and high-frequency regions, where the SME currently has limited capability. Extensions of the method will provide an excellent training and career development path for researchers who wish to work on uncertain structures across the entire frequency range. Each partner plans to recruit an experienced researcher at respective locations for continuous periods of two years, phased appropriately. This recruitment will hopefully lead to the creation of a more flexible method than currently exists for use in the mid-frequency range, since existing high-frequency approaches are quite difficult to use in the mid-frequency region, and cannot be used in the low-frequency region. A successful outcome to this proposal will: i) give a number of early-stage and experienced researchers exposure to advanced vibro-acoustic analysis methods in both a traditional university setting and a challenging commercial environment, ii) enhance both partner research capabilities in the high-frequency vibro-acoustic region, iii) create a more flexible mid-frequency technique needed by the automotive industry, and iv) enhance the SME’s software product capability in the mid- and high-frequency regions.

Atmospheric heap leaching (AHL) offers a new low-cost, safe, environmentally friendly hydrometallurgical technology which has the potential to be applied to the treatment of currently neglected oxide-rich nickel laterite ores in southern Europe & elsewhere. Current limitations to application of the process are largely a function of a poorly characterized mineralogy of the ore types & a consequent lack of predictability to the leaching process applied to mixed ore types. The NICAL IAPP aims to forge a long-term partnership between Sardes Nickel (SN) currently applying AHL technology to the Caldag deposit in Turkey with the mineralogical research expertise at the Natural History Museum in the UK (NHM). NICAL will use the experience gained from the Caldag deposit to devise an integrated series of mineralogical experiments to better characterise the ore types from which it will design & carry out leach testing on a range of European deposits. Mineralogical research will use new x-ray techniques under development by researchers at NHM to characterise nickel residence in the diverse mineral phases & the process of how nickel is leached from these minerals by AHL will be quantified. Further work will develop mineralogical tools which may be used for the future routine screening of nickel laterite resources, identified elsewhere but not currently developed. The capabilities of both partners will be extended through the collaborative research programme and focused training initiatives, developing research within SN. The scientific results of the project will be disseminated via targeted workshops, international conferences & peer-reviewed publications. It is anticipated that IPR of economic value, relating to the processing of nickel ores and the development of novel analytical equipment will result from the research. The aim is to protect this IPR by patents, the value of which may be realised through licensing agreement to internationial mining companies.

This Industry-Academia Partnership and Pathways (IAPP) joins three groups which have hitherto focused on different aspects of cancer genetics. deCODE genetics (deCODE) has recently identified several genetic risk variants that are associated with increased risk of cancer, including two distinct genetic prostate cancer risk variants on chromosome 8q24. The University of Torino (UNITO) group has identified a number of germline SNPs in signal transduction genes that are frequently mutated in tumors and the group has developed an innovative technology for knock-in of genetic variants in order to reconstruct genetic events in tumor progression. The Karolinska Institute (OP-KI) group has developed sophisticated tools for cytogenetic studies on tumors. The major objective of this proposal is to perform functional and cytogenetic analysis on several of the cancer risk variants identified by deCODE and UNITO. The major objectives of this proposal are 1) to discover and validate low-medium frequency polymorphisms that predispose to cancer, 2) to functionally validate the newly identified variants in human cells, 3) to identify biological properties associated with the prostate cancer risk alleles located at 8q24. Collaboration between deCODE, UNITO and OP-KI benefits all three partners since the capacities and technical skills are largely complementary. The collaboration is foreseen as an ongoing partnership aimed at elucidating the biological properties of genetic variants conferring risk of cancer.

EUSECON analyses the newly emerging field of European security economics by identifying the nature and scope of this research field, by bringing together the leading European research players in this field and by building new analytical and conceptual insights on the most pressing research needs in this field. By implementing these research activities, EUSECON will establish an operational network of the leading European researchers in security economics, which in turn will enable research-based policy advice on economic aspects of security. In order to achieve these aims, EUSECON builds an integrated and collaborative approach, which will lay the foundations for the development of a new European multidisciplinary research agenda in security economics and security policy. The unifying theme of the proposed research are the human drivers of the new insecurity, that is terrorism and organized crime. Specifically, EUSECON analyses the causes, dynamics and long-term effects of both human-induced insecurity threats and European security policies. The approach will promote in-depth understanding of insecurity threats emerging from terrorism and organised crime with a view to uncover the much-needed information base for effective domestic and international security policy. In terms of proven research performance in this field and relevant past policy advisory activities, the sixteen members of the consortium represent the best economists and social scientists in this field in Europe today. It is expected that EUSECON will significantly advance the European research capacity well beyond the life.-time of this project, even vis-à-vis the currently strongly dominant American research capacity. This will also improve the long-term viability of the European policy making capacity on security and competitiveness in this field.

The Academia-Industry Pathway, Path2QuickLinux, develops knowledge and transforms practice to accelerate progress toward a European information society (i2010). Path2QuickLinux is a partnership and pathway between Cran (UK) and EXAGroup (Spain), based on a common research project and aiming to increase skills exchange between the two sectors. Cran is the technology originator and provider. An SME, EXAGroup, will contribute to the richness and diversity of the applications and implementations that it will facilitate. In the Path2QuickLinux project, we will implement NFS’s alternative protocols (accelerated NFS or a-NFS) by incorporating the developed parallel-streamed g-Jet engine to accelerate the file sharing traffic. With the accelerated and secure a-NFS that remain fully compatible with the existing IT infrastructures, computer users can open and share remote files (such as vi, Emacs, MySQL, OpenOffice Writer/Impress/Calc, MPlayer, Firefox and Google Earth) on the Internet without having to install new software, upgrade to any new platform or change the way they work. Path2QuickLinux is believed to meet the immediate needs and is positioned to adapt to the needs of i2010 through the minor versioning of the existing data communication protocols. The resulting software will be strengthening the competitiveness of the EC-led software worldwide. The introduction of selected results from the Path2QuickLinux Project to University BSc/MSc curricula and professional training courses will also prepare the next generation of skilled scientist/engineers in EU ensuring continuity after the funding period is over.
