CIVITAS-DYN@MO is an ambitious project with strategic importance to sustainable mobility planning in four dynamic European cities. Aachen (DE), Gdynia (PL), Koprivnica (HR) and Palma (ES) will jointly develop "Mobility 2.0" systems and services, implement city and citizen-friendly, electric mobility solutions and vehicles, and engage in a dynamic citizen dialogue for mobility planning and service improvement. CIVITAS-DYN@MO is targeting "dynamic citizens", and especially the "digital natives" in response to an emerging new mobility paradigm. A considerable part of the younger population in the DYN@MO university cities will be challenged to use web 2.0 apps to find appropriate means of travelling within the city and to communicate with PT operators. A sound basis for mobility planning is a citizen-centred Sustainable Urban Transport Plan. The two leading cities Aachen and Gdynia will advance their planning culture, while Koprivnica and Palma will develop ambitious sustainable urban transport plans – all involving extensively citizens and stakeholders via web2.0 applications. Clean public transport remains the backbone of urban transport systems, and the cities have strong commitment to enhance the environmental performance and energy efficiency of their fleets. Alternative fuels, such as CNG and hybrid buses, and the increased use of electromobility in public transport and car sharing schemes will help to accelerate the introduction of clean vehicles in the European market. Venturing in new technology and mobility options as well as promoting new life styles will increase the people’s acceptance for mobility without a private car. The cities propose complementing packages with a high degree of transferability across Europe. Profound evaluation and research with strong dissemination and mutual learning through SUTP Competence Centres will strengthen the strategic impact of the project.

The Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) aerofoil is a potential key technology for the next generation of aircraft, improving aerodynamic performance, and thus reducing drag, and hence emissions. Achieving these reductions would be a significant step towards reaching the ACARE goals for 2020, including a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions and an 80% reduction in NOx emissions. The requirements of a Natural laminar flow wing differ significantly from a conventional turbulent wing, requiring changes to both the architecture of the wing, the aerofoil definition and the detailed design and manufacturing concepts. The performance of a natural laminar flow wing requires very tight surface roughness and waviness tolerances and contamination free surfaces in the areas where laminar flow is to be maintained. NLF wings also require alternative Leading Edge (LE) moveable concepts, novel LE/Wingbox joints, and slender LE sections In Phase 1 of the Ground Based Structure and Systems Demonstrator (GBSSD) programme, the problem of how to achieve an aerodynamic surface of sufficient quality to support natural laminar flow has been addressed by GKN. . Phase 2 is being undertaken by GKN and involves the detailed design of the fully integrated LE zone and forms the basis for the further development of the concepts for the GBSSD. Phase 3 will involve the manufacture of all selected features, components and sub-systems that will enable the several functions of the LE assembly and sub-systems to be demonstrated. These features will be supplied to Clean Sky to support the assembly of a 4.5m spanwise section of leading edge installation, including components and sub-systems. The demonstrator aims to validate that the Phase 2 LE design can be manufactured in realistic high rate and repeatable conditions appropriate to a civil short range aircraft to the required level of aerodynamic surface quality to achieve laminar flow.

Europeans economic success depends highly on a safe, reliable and sustainable energy supply. The European Community has specified its 20-20-20 targets on energy consumption savings and electricity generation from renewable sources to reduce Europe’s dependency from imported energy sources, to conserve European fossil fuels for future generations and to reduce Europe’s CO2 footprint. Buildings contribute by 40 % to Europe’s energy consumption today. The European Community has also defined the target of net-zero energy buildings for new constructions from 2020 onwards. Most significant contributions to the energy budget of such buildings come from of HVAC applications, lighting and photovoltaic (pv) electricity generation. Net-zero energy buildings are only possible with building integrated photovoltaic power systems. Nowadays electricity from photovoltaic solar systems is lost due to the multiple conversions that are inherent to the use of today's AC power grids. DC power grids will increase the efficiency to distribute solar electricity in buildings by at least 7 %. Cost of solar electricity is reduced by the same percentage. Thus DC power grids will accelerate cost reduction trend of photovoltaic solar systems beyond grid parity and hereby boosting the application in buildings and the self-consumption of solar electricity.The DCC+G project aims to impact energy efficient building infrastructure technology. To achieve this the project will: Design components and system modules for optimal electricity generation, energy transport by the DC grid and energy efficient usage by electrical appliances like eg solid state lighting. Validate the electricity usage of the integrated installation in a test building. By integrating all these aspects of electricity generation, distribution and usage we aim to reduce power consumption of all-electric buildings by 6 %, reduce the cost of solar electricity by 7 % and reduce CO2 emissions of buildings.

The target of the overall E2SG project is to devise and design mechanisms and policies to assemble, monitor and control smart grids, i.e. a set of interconnected nodes whose primary goal is to generate, exchange and consume electrical energy in the most efficient and reliable way by exploiting distributed information that is sensed, transmitted and processed over the same set of nodes and links. From this point of view, E2SG is complementary with respect to ERG that focuses on nodes with generation abilities whose interfaces are the main topic of common interest. E2SG aims at addressing most of the challenges entailed in evolving the concept of smart-grid to the level needed by both the industrial players in the society of the next decades, and the uprising environmental awareness which will lead to the increasing exploitation of removable energy sources.

The aim of MAGNASENSE is to develop the appropriate smart maintenance technologies, using magnetostrictive sensors, in order to enable self-sensing of the strain field developed in components manufactured by CFRP. For this reason, all the hardware (embedded sensors – sensing elements etc.) and software (transformation of measurements to strain readings, ispection supporting fotware, initial correlation of strain measurements to internal damage etc.) to enable sensing and monitoring of the structural integrity of composite structures will be developed. At the end of the project, a component scale demonstrator will be manufactured (damaged stiffened panel repair with a bonded composite patch including embedded MsS), for the evaluation of the developed smart maintenance methodology. In order to succeed these goals, a five step development and demonstration process is proposed, comprising of: (a) Identification of appropriate strain sensitive magnetic wires (Magnetostrictive Sensor – MsS) to be applied to composite structures, (b) Development of a non-contact magnetic flux sensor arrays for quick scanning and strain mapping of the composite structures, (c) Numerical simulation of arrays of sensing elements, to couple mechanical to magnetic readings, (d) Development of appropriate algorithms and software supporting the magnetic flux sensing and (e) Manufacturing of component scale demonstrator. MAGNASENSE will produce a complete operational chain of prototype equipment, software and sensors that will revolutionise the technology for structural health monitoring of CFRP structures. It is expected that, by integrating self-sensing capabilities to CFRP structures, a direct reduction of maintenance requirements and costs will be achieved, while increasing structural reliability, thus assisting in increasing of EU manufactured aircraft competitiveness, greening of aircraft operations and maintenance activities and reduction of aircraft operations and maintenance costs.

During the last years, there has been a high increase in the use of social networks and blogs so that citizens and consumers express now widely their opinions about different topics like politics, society and media, through these channels. However the development of systems for sentiment analysis of these opinions is hampered by difficulties to access and get the necessary language resources, for several reasons: (i) language resource owners fears for losing competitiveness; (ii) lack of agreed language resource schemas for sentiment analysis and not normalised magnitudes for measuring sentiment strength; (iii) high costs for adapting existing language resources for sentiment analysis; (iv) reduced visibility, accessibility and interoperability of the language resources. The project aims to develop a large shared data pool for language resources meant to be used by sentiment analysis systems, in order to bundle together scattered resources. One goal is to extend the WordNet Domain to sentiment analysis. The project will also specify a schema for sentiment analysis and normalise the metrics used for sentiment strength. The sharing of resources will be supported by a self-sustainable and profitable framework based on a community governance model, offering contributors the possibility of exploiting commercially the resources they provide. The project is structured around following steps: - definition of a common schema to ensure interoperability; - acquisition and clean up of language resources; - deployment of the resources and - validation through opinion mining demonstrators in the hotel and electronic domains. The targeted users are B2B including service developers, content providers, LR owners. The data pool will cover 6 languages: English Catalan German Italian Portuguese and Spanish.

STARLET project objective is to design a new concept of active flow control system based on suction-blowing devices for the control of the aerodynamic load on aircraft wing and to check its usability by CFD calculations and wind tunnel tests. The aim of the flow control concept to be investigated is the alleviation of wing structural loading, especially of the bending moment, having direct influence on the structure fatigue life, through the modification of wing aerodynamic load distribution in gusts and off-design flight conditions. To achieve this goal the implementation of suction-blowing technique for active control of aerodynamic load distribution on aircraft wing is proposed. Several concepts of active flow control system will be proposed and evaluated using CFD calculations and the most promising solutions of suction-blowing systems will be investigated through wind tunnel tests. These experimental tests will include fully-3D investigations on a large scale wing model (semi-span wing). It is expected, that as a results of these investigations, innovative, dedicated solutions of suction-blowing "smart structures" will be designed and adapted in wing-load-control systems. The proposed work will begin with a review of the existing state of knowledge on the topics of the project, leading to the formulation of requirements for the concept of active load control. It is assumed that ILOT concept will be directed towards blowing devices located in selected regions of the wing including spoiler area and vicinity of the trailing edge. For the wind-tunnel investigation an 2.4 m, existing semi-span wing model equipped with movable aileron and flap is proposed to be used. The model of wing will be prepared for balance measurements on the 5-component wall balance. The model should also enable the estimation of spanwise load distribution. To achieve the goals of the project a special policy of project monitoring and reduction of the potential risk is adopted.

Due to recently approved European and National directives and laws, the subtitling demand has grown fast in the past few years throughout Europe. The path of manual subtitling is no longer feasible, due to the quantity of the demand and the cost of the process, both in terms of time and personnel. As a result, broadcasters and subtitling companies are seeking for subtitling alternatives more productive than the traditional manual process. Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) is proving to be a useful technology for such a purpose. Respeaking – a technique in which a professional listens to the source audio and re-speaks it to a speech recognition engine which transcribes it – is consolidating as the main subtitling technique employed for live and pre-recorded broadcast productions. Another trend in use today is the application of speech recognition to automatically generate a transcript of a programme’s soundtrack without the need of a respeaker, and to use this as the basis of subtitles. Unfortunately, the high cost associated to the collection and annotation of the speech and text corpora required to train each LVCSR system for respeaking and/or automatic transcription has hindered the development of new languages and application domains. However, in order to comply with the new audiovisual legal framework, European broadcasters and subtitling companies are generating speech and text corpora suitable for LVCSR developments on a daily basis. SAVAS aims to acquire, share and reuse audiovisual resources of broadcasters and subtitling companies so that high-tech European ASR companies can use the shared data to develop domain specific LVCSRs and/or LVCSRs in new languages to solve the automated subtitling needs of the media industry. Within the project, data and LVCSR technology for automated subtitling will be collected, shared and developed for the following six languages: Basque, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese.
