1. CONSIDERAZIONI GENERALI
Il presente documento prende in considerazione i dati relativi alla partecipazione delle strutture del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
al Sesto Programma Quadro di RS&T della Commissione Europea, che ha visto la propria realizzazione nel quadriennio 2002-2006.
Dopo una analisi complessiva dei dati relativi alla partecipazione italiana e del CNR al 6PQ, vengono presentate 61 schede riassuntive
dei progetti coordinati da strutture CNR ed un elenco di tutti gli altri progetti (352), nei quali il CNR è presente come partner.
2. DATI GENERALI
Complessivamente nel Sesto Programma Quadro sono stati pubblicati 213 Bandi, presentate 56.000 proposte da 390.000
potenziali partecipanti e finanziati più di 10.000 progetti con un totale di 74.000 partecipanti. Qui di seguito una tabella riassuntiva sui
numeri del Programma ed un raffronto con il Quinto Programma Quadro.

Il numero di partecipanti ha visto una flessione verso il basso rispetto al Quinto Programma Quadro, tuttavia il numero di partecipanti
per singolo progetto è più che raddoppiato.
Il success rate, ovvero il rapporto tra proposte presentate e progetti aggiudicati è stato più basso del 5PQ (19% contro il 24%) e
differenziato per area di ricerca, come si può evincere dal grafico che segue.

1. FP6 Final Review, Subscription, Implementation, Participation, Brussels June 2008, EC, Research Directorate General, Management
Reporting and Data Quality.
Quanto sopra si può leggere con una maggiore aggregazione di organizzazioni intorno a progetti di elevata qualità: infatti a fronte di
un minore numero di contratti ed un minore numero di soggetti partecipanti troviamo un accresciuto contributo europeo sia per
singolo progetto sia per partecipante ai progetti finanziati.
Considerando l’area geografica di provenienza dei partecipanti, gli Stati Membri hanno contribuito al Programma per il 91% dello
stesso, gli Stati associati (Svizzera, Norvegia, Lussemburgo, Israele, Islanda) per circa il 6%, gli altri (i cosiddetti “Third Countries”) per
il 2,5%.
Per quanto concerne il finanziamento comunitario per stato membro non vale il principio del “giusto ritorno”: non c’è mai un rapporto
proporzionale tra apporto dai singoli stati al bilancio comunitario e fondi ricevuti. Interessante la figura di seguito che illustra la
percentuale di success rate per Paese:
2. FP6 Final Review, Subscription, Implementation, Participation, Brussels June 2008; EC, Research Directorate General, Management
Reporting and Data Quality.
Come si nota, l’Italia, con una percentuale del 17% di contratti ottenuti sul totale delle proposte presentate realizza una performance
diversa rispetto ad altri Stati Europei quali la Germania (21%) o la Francia (23%).
È da tenere in considerazione per la futura programmazione la diversa provenienza dei partecipanti in termini di organizzazione di
appartenenza. Si nota un trend negativo nella presenza di soggetti del settore industriale, calati da un 38% del 4° Programma al 30%
del 6°. A tale proposito è possibile individuare tra le possibili concause una sempre maggiore difficoltà nella gestione amministrativa dei
progetti; problemi che permangono anche nell’attuale 7° Programma Quadro, nonostante quest’ultimo sia stato concepito nell’ottica
della semplificazione al fine di favorire la partecipazione dei soggetti privati con una particolare attenzione alle Piccole e Medie
Imprese.
3. L’ITALIA NEL SESTO PROGRAMMA QUADRO
Il rientro finanziario percentuale dell’Italia nel Sesto Programma Quadro, pari a euro 1.089 milioni, è riconducibile al 9% sul budget
generale del Programma.
L’Italia è anche il Paese con il saldo maggiormente negativo tra rientro finanziario e partecipazione alle spese dell’Unione Europea.
Questo risultato negativo è determinato da due fattori collegati tra di loro: l’Italia ha un numero di ricercatori nettamente inferiore a
quello dei partner europei e spende in ricerca una percentuale di PIL inferiore agli Stati membri che presentano ritorni positivi.

Andando invece a considerare la redditività pro-capite del personale di ricerca, si scopre che il personale italiano è quello con il
valore più elevato tra i maggiori Stati dell’Unione.
5. Alcuni dati sulla partecipazione italiana al Sesto Programma Quadro, Giuseppe Roffi, Luca Moretti, CNR, Direzione Generale, Ufficio
Promozione e Rapporti con la UE/CNR-EU Liasion Office,Bruxelles 2007
Se si vanno ad analizzare i risultati per area scientifica è possibile tracciare un quadro dei settori “forti” della ricerca italiana. I settori in
cui l’Italia per percentuale di contributi ricevuti ha riportato i migliori risultati sono: Trasporti, Spazio, ICT,
Nano/Processi/Prodotti, Misure Specifiche per le PMI, Infrastrutture di Ricerca e, in misura leggermente minore,
Salute.
Meno positiva la partecipazione italiana nei settori Alimentazione/Biotecnologie, Aeronautica ed Ambiente. Particolarmente opaca la
partecipazione italiana nel settore Energia.

4. IL CNR NEL SESTO PROGRAMMA QUADRO
Si può registrare, nel susseguirsi dei Programmi Quadro, un trend in aumento per quanto riguarda le risorse finanziarie acquisite dal
CNR. Non altrettanto si può dire dell’Italia globalmente, che registra un seppur lieve arretramento. Il CNR si qualifica come
“Grande Partecipante” al Programma Quadro così come definito dallo studio dell’agenzia francese ANRT (Association Nationale de la
Recherche e de la Technologie), cioè come ente che ha ricevuto finanziamenti per almeno 10 milioni di euro oppure ha concluso
almeno 10 contratti. “6th Framework Programme Evaluation Report” pubblicato nel febbraio 2009.

Tra i Centri di Ricerca italiani il CNR si conferma come l’Ente pubblico maggiormente attivo precedendo nell’ordine l’Istituto Superiore di
Sanità, il San Raffaele, l’ENEA, il Mario Negri, l’INGV. A loro volta i Centri di ricerca risultano primeggiare rispetto a Università e
Imprese sia in termini di performance legate al ritorno (33,8% contro 27% e 29,5%), che per ritorno pro capite.
Quest’ultimo, considerando i soli ricercatori del CNR, é sicuramente fra i primi d’Europa: 30.492 € pro capite per la durata del
Programma, ovvero 7623 €/anno considerando la durata del Programma Quadro che diventano poi 10.890 € considerando la durata
media dei progetti CNR (2.8 anni).

Il CNR evidenzia un ottimo score anche in termini di capacità di coordinamento: oltre il 15% dei progetti partecipati sono coordinati dal
CNR (61 su 411).
Per quanto riguarda le singole aree tematiche la maggior parte dei progetti sono stati finanziati nel settore Information Society
Technologies (90 progetti), seguito da Nanotechnologies e Sustainable Development, confermando l’eccellenza dei ricercatori CNR in
questi settori. Di seguito un grafico di raffronto tra Progetti a coordinamento CNR (61) e progetti ai quali il CNR partecipa come partner

5. CONSIDERAZIONI CONLCUSIVE
Benchè il Sesto Programma Quadro sia oramai concluso, molti progetti sono in corso (gli ultimi progetti del 6PQ termineranno nel
2012) e i primi progetti del 7PQ sono già iniziati (al momento della pubblicazione del documento il CNR ha firmato oltre 200 contratti
del 7PQ).
Segue una rapresentazione grafica della struttura del 6PQ con l’indicazione del numero di progetti a partecipazione CNR (Coordinatore
e partner) nonche’ le schede relative ai 61 progetti coordinati da strutture CNR e infine un elenco dei progetti ai quali il CNR partecipa

ZUCCO, Maria Flavia ISTITUTO DI NEUROBIOLOGIA E MEDICINA MOLECOLARE ‐ ROMA Tel +39‐06‐501703183 Fax +39‐06‐501703311 Email: [email protected] SUMMARY The EU White Paper 'Strategy for a future chemical policy proposes to harmonise the testing requirement for existing chemicals, by developing a new system for the "Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals" (REACH). Given the existing regulation, this could result in a large increase in animal use. Thus, the need of reliable alternative in vitro models becomes urgent. Although several in vitro models are available, they are not yet accepted into regulations, as they still require better characterisation and optimisation to reach the validation stage. The main aim of this project is to provide optimised established protocols and experimental in vitro models for testing intestinal and liver absorption, metabolism and toxicity of molecules of pharmacological interest. The added value of the project is to provide optimised sequential procedures, easily amenable to validation studies for screening and testing of new drugs, possibly by miniaturized and automated technology. The direct participation of SMEs in the research activities will assure that those procedures will also fit with the requirements of industrial application. The project is articulated in integrated work packages and research objectives, interacting at various levels. Different liver and intestinal cellular models will be optimised for applications that are relevant to the drug development process. The optimised models will be challenged with structurally diverse reference drugs, chosen with the help of a steering committee of relevant stakeholders, to develop innovative methods to assess their transport, metabolism and toxicity. New advanced "omics" technologies will allow "in vitro/in vivo" comparisons, produce reference standards for the validation of cellular models and develop high throughput technologies. A unit in charge of in silico pharmacokinetic studies will allow assessment of the utility of the developed in vitro models, from a predictive in vivo stance. PROJECT DETAILS

SUMMARY
A digital factory represents a persistent hybrid community where a rich virtualized environment representing a variety of factory activities will facilitate the sharing of factory resources, manufacturing information and knowledge and help the simulation of collaborative design, planning, production and management among different participants and departments. DiFac aims at the development of an innovative Collaborative Manufacturing Environment (CME) for next generation digital manufacturing. The DiFac CME will be used as a framework to support group work in an immersive and interactive way, for concurrent product design, prototyping and manufacturing, as well as worker training. It will provide support for data analysis, visualization, advanced interaction and presence within the virtual environment, ergonomics analysis, and collaborative decision‐making. Within the DiFac CME, a systematic representation of product and process knowledge in a mixed 3D collaborative manufacturing environment will be provided to the user. Six components, namely Group Presence Modeller, Immersive Integrator, Collaboration Manager, Prototype Designer, Factory Constructor, Training Simulator will be seamlessly integrated into a new solution for collaborative digital manufacturing activities, for example, aiming to help work teams collaborate on the analysis of a product design, share information, evaluate testing results, manage knowledge and make decisions about development issues. DiFac is an SME‐driven STREP and its actions will target European SMEs in order to empower their position into the world market by providing advanced services and tools using state‐of‐the‐art technologies.

On the basis of the creation and development of innovative Design for All communities, like EDeAN, it is now uniquely possible to establish thoroughly those aspects that work best and those which can be either refined or replaced, better to achieve the EU's goals of eInclusion through DfA. Therefore, the core of this CA is to explore and evaluate the EDeAN environment in order to create enhanced coordination actions to achieve new levels of eInclusion, coherence, effectiveness and efficiency to boost the role of the EU in eInclusion. From a technological perspective, the main aim of CA DfA@eInclusion is to support and enhance the networking and cooperation activities of the European Design for All (DfA) community, emphasizing the overall target of eInclusion, which is to ensure that future technological developments are user‐based and, therefore, take into account the needs and requirements of all citizens, including people with disabilities and elderly people. Towards this end, the proposed CA builds upon, supports and extends past, and ongoing initiatives, such as the "European Design for All e‐accessibility Network" ‐ EdeAN, as well as and some IST funded projects that have been realized in the context of the EC FP 5 (e.g.,IST‐2001‐38833 D4ALLnet, IST‐ 2001‐38786 IDCnet).

In particular, we plan to focus on norm innovation. As research priorities, besides dealing with incompleteness and uncertainty, we intend to contribute to the understanding and description of hierarchic systems by describing agents acting on multiple, i.e. individual, communitarian and institutional levels. As to understanding of distributed processes in IT, the project is aimed at modelling the interactive, bidirectional processes of emergence: A summary of main theoretical goals is: ‐ understand and manage complexity in social systems with autonomous agents; ‐ understand how new conventions and norms emerge and spread in these systems; ‐ study of norm innovation by means of agent‐based simulation. The main technological aim of the project is to construct a simulator for exploring and experimenting upon norm‐innovation. Concerning the applicative side, we intend to contribute to the regulation of e‐communities by handing out a simulator for the emergence of new norms in complex social systems, where situated experiments can be run. While the simulator will be designed as a general‐purpose tool, a specific study case will be selected as so to provide the necessary grounding parameters. PROJECT DETAILS

The MultiMATCH project aims to enable users to explore and interact with online CH content, across media types and language boundaries, in ways that do justice to the multitude of existing perspectives. The MultiMATCH search engine will: (i) crawl the Internet to identify websites with CH information, locating relevant texts, images and videos, regardless of the source and target languages used to write queries and describe the results;
(ii) likewise identify relevant material via an in‐depth crawling of selected CH institutions, accepting and processing any semantic web encoding of the information retrieved; (iii) automatically classify the results in a semantic‐web compliant fashion, based on document content, its metadata, its context, and on the occurrence of relevant CH concepts in the document; (iv) automatically extract relevant information which will then be used to create cross‐links between related material, such as the biography of an artist, exhibitions of his/her work, critical analyses, etc.; (v) organize and further analyse the material crawled to serve focused queries generated from user‐
formulated information needs; (vi) interact with the user to obtain a more specific definition of initial information requirements; and finally (vii) organize and display search results in an integrated, user‐friendly manner, allowing users to access and exploit the information retrieved regardless of language barriers. MultiMATCH combines the advantages of both generic and specialised search facilities: it supports automatic update via regular focused crawling of relevant web sites, and does not involve costly maintenance for manual indexing, classification or annotation of data. The system supports diverse user classes but also assists CH institutions to disseminate their content widely and raise their visibility. The project ended on October 31st, 2008 and all planned objectives have been achieved. In particular, a multimedia/multilingual search engine, specialized for searching cultural heritage objects available on the Web and stored in digital archives, has been developed and tested, and three different field trials experimenting the use of the system prototype in different application settings were conducted: in the educational field, in the touristic field and for professional archives.

SUMMARY NETCARITY proposes a new integrated paradigm for supporting independence and engagement in elderly people living alone at their own home place. The project fosters the development of a 'light' technological infrastructure to be integrated in homes of old people at reduced costs, that both allows the assurance of basic support of everyday activities and health critical situations detection, as well as the social and psychological engagement required to maintain in the elder the emotional well‐being enhancing dignity and quality of life. The project will seek to advance ambient intelligence technologies in the integration of micro and nano systems in a networked wireless/wired multi‐sensing environment with plug and play capabilities and intelligent decision making for an effective detection of critical situations and support of task completion. Efforts will be concentrated in developing low‐cost solutions and could rapidly reach the market and facilitate easy adaptation in a wide number of existing homes. The social and psychological factors of the 'ageing‐in‐place' problem will be addressed in NETCARITY by the development of advanced multimodal interfaces that strengthen the communication channel between the elders and their friends and caregivers, reducing isolation and the feeling of being alone, and stimulating them in the execution of everyday activities to maintain high levels of motivation and a correct perception of their own abilities.

This proposal aims to obtain a financial support for the organisation of the 5th edition of the European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM). The ECSCRM takes place once every two years in Europe since 1996. The participant number has constantly increased from one edition to the other because of the increasing interest of the Electronic European Industry in SiC. The 5th edition of ECSCRM will take place in Bologna, Italy, the 5‐9 September 2004 and 400 participants are expected. This conference acronym will be ECSCRM2004. Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a wide‐band gap semiconductor material with electrical and chemical properties that has permitted the realisation of very high frequency and high power electronics with performances that have overcome the best limit performances of Si and GaAs electronics. But, SiC processing and SiC material growth technologies require further improvements in the aim SiC devices reach the theoretical limit due to the SiC intrinsic properties. The ECSCRM2004 is the appointment where the European Research makes the status of the art about the advancements in the SiC field in the last two years preceding the conference date. Application fields of the SiC electronics components are telecommunications and telemetry in the band 5‐10GHz, robotic, transport and industrial applications, and the electrical energy distributions which requires blocking voltages in the range a 10E3‐10E5 V and very high current flux in the on mode. Finally the intrinsic properties of the SiC material can be friendly exploited in new unconventional fields like that of the sensors of optical, chemical, radiation and biological signal, and in the related micro systems. All these are applications addressed in the priorities 2, 3 and 6 of the VI° Frame Work Programme. The conference in Bologna will be the first opportunity for Industry and Academy where to show the progress made in the SiC field.

The emphasis is put on 3D objects and their animations, but other media types like images or videos are incorporated as well. AIM@SHAPE is developing a new multidisciplinary research field, which deeply integrates Computer Graphics and Vision with Knowledge Technologies. The core objective is to advance research in the direction of semantics‐based shape representations and software tools, making the knowledge embedded in digital shapes explicit and sharable, with focus on 3D content. The impact of 3D content is comparable to the one of images, with a number of distinctive properties. 3D shapes offer more potential for interactivity since they can be observed and manipulated from different viewpoints. Also, the richness of their representation potentially contains more knowledge about an object than a simple picture. At the same time, representing a complex shape is known to be nontrivial, due to the sheer mass of information involved and the complexity of the knowledge a shape can reveal. Therefore, we need tools for making digital shapes machine‐understandable and not just human‐understandable as they are nowadays, developing semantic mark‐up of content, intelligent agents and ontology infrastructures for fully‐3D content. In its four years of activity, AIM@SHAPE pursued the introduction of knowledge management techniques in 3D content modelling, reusing and sharing. The main technological results of AIM@SHAPE concern the development of an integrated platform for modelling, processing and sharing multi‐dimensional media, called the Digital Shape Workbench (DSW), which is an elaborated framework to store shapes, tools, and publications along with the knowledge related to them and expressed through the definition of general and specific shape ontologies.

A quantum phase transition can be used to prepare exactly one atom per lattice site, where each atom can be considered as quantum bit. Based on the so‐called Mott‐
Insulator state several schemes for quantum computation have been proposed, including proposals for the creation of entanglement, computation with cluster states and quantum simulations. It is planned to use a Mott insulator as a quantum register, in which one can encode qu‐bits in the single atoms on each lattice site and quantum gates can be implemented acting on different atoms of the lattice. Crucial advantages are: the simple quantum‐level structures of atoms; the insulation from the environment which leads to a strong suppression of decoherence, and the ability to trap and act on a very large ensemble of identical atoms. An impressive example of the flexibility is the use of the internal degrees of freedom of the neutral atoms in order to generate the quantum entanglement essential of many quantum information protocols. To generate entanglement, one requires an experimental system that can be prepared in a pure atomic state, with significant and coherently controlled interactions between the particles composing the pure state. Bose‐Einstein condensates fulfil these requirements. The goal is to make quantum processing viable by using neutral atoms trapped in optical lattices. We will focus on different challenges: preparation and initialisation of a quantum register; addressing, manipulating and measuring on single sites; two‐bit gates and compatible stable qubits; generation and characterisation of multi‐particle entanglement states; strategies for minimising decoherence; quantum simulator; new theoretical strategies for quantum computers with optical lattices. The final objectives of the project will provide a persistent and long‐term commitment to emerging applications. PROJECT DETAILS

The project strategy envisioned the use of an innovative approach based on the engineering of organic heterojunctions in field‐effect devices by integration of all the needed scientific and technological competences. The consortium achieved the following major results: ● state‐of‐the‐art ambipolar and balanced mobility in light‐emitting field‐effect transistors, which employ a double layer organic heterojunction. ● Photonic feedback structures suitable to be integrated in field‐effect devices were fabricated by interference lithography. ● The photonic characteristics of the novel device structure were modelled and used as a guide for the fabrication of the fully integrated optoelectronic‐photonic device. ● A novel design of planar photonic feedback structures that prevents losses at the edges thereby decreasing the lasing threshold in ultrasmall lasing active areas was demonstrated. ● A novel field‐effect hybrid device structure was thoroughly investigated and its optoelectronic properties modelled. ● A novel three‐layer field‐effect organic heterojunction approach was demonstrated and the corresponding devices characterized. ● In depth knowledge of the dielectric‐organic and organic‐organic interface characteristics were gained and used to fabricate light‐emitting field‐effect transistors with state of the art n‐ type and p‐type current densities. ● A complete technology set for the fabrication of field‐effect organic heterojunction devices, both planar and hybrid, was developed. ● The first ever made integrated photonic field‐effect device was fabricated. ● ASE and lasing properties of organic heterojunctions on photonic feedback structure under optical pumping were determined. ● The charge‐induced losses in the tri‐layer vertical heterojunction device under electrical bias condition were evaluated. ● A novel hybrid approach with organics and silicon‐on‐insulator technology for photonic feedback structures was designed and realized. ● Three patents were filed to ensure possible exploitation.

Such wealth of data, referenced both in space and time, may enable novel classes of applications of high societal and economic impact, provided that the discovery of consumable and concise knowledge out of these raw data is made possible. The goal of the GeoPKDD project is to develop theory, techniques and systems for geographic knowledge discovery and delivery, based on new privacy‐preserving methods for extracting knowledge from large amounts of raw data referenced in space and time. More precisely, we aim at devising knowledge discovery and analysis methods for trajectories of moving objects; such methods will be designed to preserve the privacy of the source sensitive data. The fundamental hypothesis is that it is possible, in principle, to aid citizens in their mobile activities by analyzing the traces of their past activities by means of data mining techniques. For instance, behavioural patterns derived from mobile trajectories may allow inducing traffic flow information, capable to help people travel efficiently, to help public administrations in traffic‐related decision making for sustainable mobility and security management, as well as to help mobile operators in optimizing bandwidth and power allocation on the network. However, it is clear that the use of personal sensitive data arouses concerns about citizen's privacy rights. Obtaining the potential benefits by means of a trustable technology, designed to prevent infringing privacy rights, is a highly innovative goal; if fulfilled, it would enable a wider social acceptance of many new services of public utility that would find in the advocated form of geographic knowledge a key driver, such as in transport, environment and risk management.

SUMMARY The PENG project aims at defining a flexible, personalised and context‐aware system for the gathering, filtering, retrieval and presentation of multimedia news for news professionals (e.g. journalists and editors), with a view of making the system also available later for general users. In this context, with the term news we refer to any kind of news, including information regarding leisure and entertainment. The system is conceived as a personal assistant, supporting journalists in all stages of the news lifecycle. Information (text, images, and videos) is gathered from different sources (including the Web) using a combination of push and pull technologies and presented to the user in a personalised way. In the push phase a filtering approach will be developed, by means of which a first selection of news from newswires and local and online archives will be accomplished. This filtering will be based both on a dynamic user profile and on the personal user's trust in the information sources. This last aspect will be managed by means of trust scores which are dynamically modified based on user feedback. In the pull phase a user query and the user profile will be used to retrieve further and more specific information from the same source used in the pull phase, but also from additional sources automatically selected in relation to the content of the query and the user profile. This will be done by means of a distributed information retrieval approach, where the query can be automatically generated from user feedback on the information presented by the pull phase. Therefore, by using the PENG system, both information professionals, such as journalists or editors, and general users of news services can programme the content of the required service by adaptively tuning the contribution of the distinct sources to their information retrieval needs. This is done by both using a time‐dependent user profile, and by means of the distinct trust scores of the information sources. PROJECT DETAILS

We aim at studying how communication arises, what different types of communication systems there are or can be, what the different pre‐conditions are that must be satisfied for the emergence of different types of communication systems, what kind of new performances at the collective level are made possible by different communication systems, what is the role of the communication network topology in such performances. The project will investigate basic properties of different communication systems, from simple communication systems in animals to human language and technology supported human communication, to clarify the nature of existing communication systems and to provide ideas for designing new technologies based on collections of embodied and communicating devices. The aim of the project is the development of a new generation of embodied agents that are able to interact directly (i.e., without human intervention) with the physical world and to communicate between them and with other agents (including humans). This will be achieved through the development of new design principles, algorithms, and mechanisms that can extend the functionality of existing technological artefacts (mobile phones, Wi‐Fi devices, robots and robot‐like artefacts, etc.) and can lead to the development of new artefacts exploiting the characteristics of ECA gents.

SUMMARY Chalcogenide‐based phase change materials (which contain at least one element from Group VI in the periodic table: Te, Se,or S) have recently generated strong attention for electronic memory applications, due to their success as optical storage media. Phase‐change memories (PCM) are one of the most promising candidates for next‐generation non‐volatile memories, having the potential to improve the performance compared to Flash memories as well as to be scalable beyond Flash technology. One technological issue is the phase‐change layer deposition process, which principally determines the implementation of the material properties. Phase‐change films are currently grown by sputtering, a physical vapour deposition technique, which has yielded demonstrator chips. However, for continued down‐scaling for high‐density nanoelectronic devices and lower programming currents, greater control of film deposition over non‐planar structures is than possible with sputtering is necessary. Despite this need, no other deposition routes are available nor widely studied. Overall Objectives: The project therefore aims at the development of a film manufacturing process based on a chemical‐based technique, metal‐organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). MOCVD enables the production of thin films with superior quality compared to those obtained by sputtering, especially in terms of conformality, coverage, and stoichiometry control, and allows implementation of phase‐change films in nanoelectronic devices. The main phase‐change chalcogenide material system that will be investigated is Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST). Once a suitable process is developed, it will be used to fabricate state‐of‐the‐art memory cells at the 90/65 nm node, and the electrical performance compared with standard devices based on sputtered GST. Doping of GST and modified compounds will also be investigated to improve device performance. PROJECT DETAILS

SUMMARY ProeTEX will develop integrated smart wearable systems for emergency disaster intervention personnel, improving their safety, coordination and efficiency and for injured civilians, optimising their survival management. This core application area, which is of significant societal importance in itself, will drive a wide range of key technology developments, building on current and past EU and national projects and the commercial activities of partners, to create micro‐nano‐engineering smart textile systems ‐ integrated systems (fabrics, wearable garments) using specifically fibre‐based micronano technologies. These are capable of being combined into diverse products addressing this core application area but also a wide range of other markets from extreme sports, through healthcare to transportation maintenance and building workers. The industrial partners can address these markets. Fiber systems can integrate sensors, actuators, conductors, power management, and the emergency disaster personnel smart garment will, within a wireless ambient planning and managing environment, progressively enhance and integrate fiber systems for: ‐ continuous monitoring of life signs (biopotentials, breathing movement, cardiac sounds) ‐ continuous monitoring biosensors (sweat, dehydration, electrolytes, stress indicators) ‐ pose and activity monitoring, ‐ low power local wireless communications, including integrated fiber antennae ‐ active visibility enhancement, light emitting fibers ‐ internal temperature monitoring using fiber sensors ‐ external chemical detection, including toxic gases and vapours ‐ power generation ‐ photovoltaic and thermoelectric and power storage. The technological base developed will concentrate on smart fibers/e‐textiles, but the IP will combine these where appropriate with 'conventional' microsystems (such as accelerometers, gyros, microcontrollers and wireless chips).

SUMMARY The use of three dimensional structures for the realization of non‐volatile‐memories requires that bit storage and selection elements can be stacked up vertically and should therefore be both manufactured in the Back End Of the Line. Silicon is not well suited as a back end semiconductor material, because the high thermal budget required for both deposition and dopant activation, makes its integration with most of the bit storage elements materials impossible. One of the NVM that appear quite promising are those based on cross‐bar architectures. Such architecture allows an increased miniaturization given a certain lateral feature size since they can be vertically stacked. In addition the cost per bit of such architecture is significantly lower than the conventional CMOS based ones, since the number of photolithographic masks necessary to produce them is lower. In this project we will integrate junction made of II‐VI and organic/polymeric semiconductors into cross‐bar type memories to obtain a scalable cross‐bar non volatile memory with both bit storage and selection elements vertically stacked on on top of the other. The junction material should require a low thermal budget for its preparation to be compatible with the most promising technologies for the bit storage element, such as chalcogenides.

The major claim of the project is that in order to be successfully autonomous, to deal with dynamic environments, and to be pro‐active and trustworthy in supporting people's activities, such robots and devices need to have sophisticated cognitive capabilities based on anticipation Each partner of the project's interdisciplinary consortium is a leading scientific expert in different approaches to anticipation and cognition. By carrying out the project at a European level the partners will be forced to test and compare their models to produce innovative integrated anticipatory cognitive architectures. The project will first identify typologies of problems which require different anticipatory cognitive capabilities on the basis of specific smart environments and multi‐robot scenarios. Second, the project will improve existing anticipatory models and will incorporate missing anticipatory functionalities in them. The improved architectures will be tested in the selected scenarios. Third, the project will compare in the same scenarios anticipatory architectures implemented from different theoretical backgrounds in order to highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the project will design, implement and test cognitive architectures that integrate different anticipatory mechanisms. Simulated scenarios and real robots will be used both to improve and compare single anticipatory models and to integrate them in the same cognitive architectures. Overall the project will deliver a breakthrough in several cognitive science topics such as the relationship between anticipation and emotions; analogy and BDI systems; planning in neural networks and anticipatory classifier system. Mind RACES will make Europe a world leader in the research area of anticipatory cognitive systems. PROJECT DETAILS

This test‐bed will be built by integrating the Grid and Digital Library (DL) technologies. Merging of these different technologies will lay the foundations for a next generation e‐Science knowledge infrastructure. The DILIGENT infrastructure, which will build upon the efforts of the EGEE project (IST‐2003‐508833), will serve many different research and industrial applications. The test‐bed will be demonstrated and validated by two complementary real‐life application scenarios: one from the cultural heritage domain and one from the environmental e‐Science domain. Additional objectives of the project are: ‐ to open up Grid technology to a broader range of research and industrial communities; ‐ to broaden the diffusion of DLs by supporting a cost‐effective DL operational model; ‐ to promote cross‐fertilization between the DL and Grid technology domains that will foster advances in both the areas. In order to achieve its objectives, DILIGENT has identified four main areas of work: ‐ integration of DL services and content together with third‐party applications as OGSA‐compliant Grid services; ‐ experimentation with real‐life user communities; ‐ feedback with respect to the capabilities of the Grid and the design of DL system architectures; ‐ exploitation and sustainability. Two prototypes will be released during the project. The first one, which will run on a restricted Grid infrastructure, will be used to achieve a sufficient level of confidence about the technology and will demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a system that offers DL functionality on the Grid. The experience acquired will be used to build a revised test‐bed that will be deployed on the EGEE infrastructure. PROJECT DETAILS

They are destined to become an essential part of the information infrastructure in the 21st century. The proposed Network intends to conduct a joint program of activities (JPA) aimed at integrating and coordinating the ongoing research activities of the major European teams working in DL‐related areas with the goal of developing the next generation DL technologies. The objective is to (i) define unifying and comprehensive theories and frameworks over the life‐
cycle of DL information, (ii) build interoperable multimodal/multilingual services and integrated content management ranging from the personal to the global for the specialist and the general population. The Network aims at developing generic DL technology to be incorporated into industrial‐strength DL Management Systems (DLMSs), offering advanced functionality through reliable and extensible services. The Network will also disseminate knowledge of DL technologies to many diverse application domains. To this end a Virtual DL Competence Centre will be established which will provide specific user communities with access to advanced DL technologies, services, testbeds, and the necessary expertise and knowledge to facilitate their take‐up. Other important objectives are: to network and structure European DL‐related research in order to consolidate an emerging community; to provide a forum where researchers, practitioners, and representatives of interested applications and industries can exchange ideas and experiences; to promote an exchange programme towards improving international cooperation in DL research areas.

We propose to fabricate high capacity density condensers (>500 nF/mm2) for development of a new integrated electronics. It has a huge economic impact (the potential market is billions US$). Many attempts beyond the state of the art are proposed. A nano‐description of the material will be achieved by developing nano‐
characterization for a knowledge‐ based activity oriented to material improvement. Pure CCTO bulk properties will be firstly optimised by strongly reducing impurities and anomalies, and then they will be improved beyond the state of the art investigating doped CCTO. We expected that a certain kind of phase composite Ca1+xCu3‐xTi4O12 (x=0‐3) could decrease the dissipation factor. This activity will produce targets of pure CCTO (first) and then doped CCTO for physic al deposition such as laser ablation and sputtering that will be further developed during the project by using novel approaches based on multi‐component deposition. Metal organic chemical vapour deposition development activity guarantees the required high step coverage for use in 3D structures. As a breakthrough, new equipment will be developed within the project for laser assisted Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE), which uses a laser to change in situ during the deposition the CCTO composition. The advantage of this approach is the easily scalability to large surfaces for industrial processes. A specific silicon processing (high temperature resistant metal gates, etching,...) will be developed to integrate CCTO deposition in the silicon technology and produce high density planar (2D) capacitive condensers (>500 nF/mm2) working up to 4 GHz. The implementation of 3D structures will allow achieving results that are even more ambitious. PROJECT DETAILS

The device that will be developed is based on organic ultra thin film transistors integrated with microfluidics. It will respond to subtle changes of the electrostatic charge at the interface between the biosystem in the solution and the organic semiconductor. These changes are due, for instance, to the flow of ions, the adsorption and diffusion of charged or polarisable molecules, the motion of large biomolecules, the signalling of cells adhered on the organic semiconductor. The transduction of the dynamical behaviour of: a) peptides involved in neurological functions, b) phospholipids and functional membranes, c) neurons and glia cells will be demonstrated during the project The FET signal will be correlated with dynamical data from fluorescence and scanning probe microscopy, computer simulations and structural techniques at the micro‐ and nano‐scales. The integration of neural cells into this technology will extend the scope of the project towards long‐
term applications in biomedicine. These and other aspects make BIODOT a project aimed to achieve breakthroughs with respect to the state‐of‐the‐art. PROJECT DETAILS

SUMMARY The Nanoxide project aims to investigate, control and exploit the properties of interfaces between iso‐structural functional oxides for the realization of new nanosized electronic and opto‐electronic devices. The project will study interfaces between transition metal oxides with perovskite type structure. Most perovskite oxides are correlated electronic systems, which offer a rich spectrum of physical properties such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, semi‐conducting or metallic behaviour. Such properties are present in compounds with the same crystal structure, allowing the engineering of new epitaxial multifunctional devices. Interfaces in such highly correlated systems are very complex due to the collective nature of electronic behaviour and offer new application possibilities with respect to conventional semiconductors. The project will be focused on selected interfaces in bi‐layers and hetero‐structures made of oxides with different functional properties, such as dielectric and superconductors, magnetic and metallic oxides. Interfaces will be realized by epitaxial thin films deposition in state‐of‐the‐art systems that permit to control of the growth at atomic level. The structural, chemical and physical properties of such interfaces will be characterized and modelled. The functional properties of interfaces originating by the proximity of layers with different physical properties will be thoroughly studied. Charge and spin transport across the interfaces as well as induction of charge and strain near the interfaces will be investigated in details. Deliverables of the project will be strain gated and a field effect device whose performances can be tuned by tailoring interfaces as actual realization of selected demonstrators, and, furthermore, advances in knowledge and control of oxide interfaces properties. Nanoscale reduction of these devices will be addressed to open the way to novel technological outcomes. PROJECT DETAILS

Natural bio‐structures usually have properties superior to those of analogous synthetically manufactured materials with similar phase compositions. The remarkable biomechanical properties of bone and ligament tissues depend on their hierarchic structure, which is an organized assembly of structural units at increasing size levels. In fact, these structures are highly organized from the molecular to nano‐, micro‐ and macro‐scales, always in a hierarchical manner, with intricate but extremely functional architectures able to constantly adapt to ever changing mechanical needs. The TEM‐PLANT project primary addresses the nano‐biotechnologies area and will push the current boundaries of the state‐of‐the‐art in production of hierarchical structured biomaterials. By combining biology, chemistry, materials science, nano‐technology and production technologies, new and complex plant transformation processes will be investigated to copy smart hierarchical structures existing in nature and to develop breakthrough biomaterials that could open the door to a whole new generation of biomedical applications for which no effective solution exists to date. Starting from suitably selected vegetal raw material, ceramization processes based on pyrolysis will be applied to produce carbon templates, which will be either infiltrated by silicon to produce inert SiC ceramic structures or exchanged by electrophoresis deposition to produce bioresobable ceramics. For ligament yielding two processes will be developed: pH‐controlled and electrophoresis‐ controlled fibration to generate fibrous collagenous cords with high tensile strength and wear‐
resistance. PROJECT DETAILS

One of the most promising approaches is to explicitly exploit the spin of charge carriers in spin electronics, or spintronics. In this rapidly expanding field, there is a strong need for the development of novel, multifunctional materials and (hybrid) heterostructures with desirable magnetic and transport properties. Organic semiconductors, which form the basis of the by now well established field of organic electronics, are especially promising for spintronics applications, not in the least due to the low spin‐scattering amplitudes attainable in these materials.
As we learned from the development of organic electronics, understanding and tuning the properties of hybrid inorganic‐organic interfaces is of fundamental importance for the optimisation of device performance and stability. OFSPIN specifically aims at the development of new knowledge in the field of organic‐inorganic based multifunctional materials combining unusual magnetic, electric and optical properties. This proposal is strongly motivated by the recent results obtained in the field of Organic Spintronics, were the pioneering role of Europe was established by two of the presenting partners in OFSPIN. The project will build the knowledge foundations necessary for the development of an interdisciplinary technology based on novel organic and inorganic functional materials, that will evolve into a sustainable technological platform for spintronics and quantum computing.

On the contrary to most current nanocomposites, where mainly physical bonding between nanofiller and matrix are obtained, the NANOHYBRID project will strive for combining chemical and physical bonding which would allow a real breakthrough in material's properties. The project will be focussed on: 1) Creation of new knowledge related to macromolecular architecture designs via transition metal catalysis which will open up access to novel random and block copolymers (BCs) and polymer product compositions. 2) Understanding the phenomena of nanocompomers' and nanocomposites' formation either during in‐situ polymerisation or during melt processing 3) Investigation of fundamental characteristics of the organic‐inorganic interphase region by multi‐
scale analysis. 4) Application‐oriented property enhancement, thanks to nanostructured hybrid polyolefins. In the medium to long term, tecton and hybrid approaches to advanced nanostructured polymers via catalytic polymerisation combined with block copolymer self‐assembly will offer unique benefits and opportunities for new applications and products. Targeted enhanced properties are: scratch resistance, modulus improvement without sacrificing stiffness , heat distortion temperature, flame retardancy, barrier properties (super hydrofobic/hydro philic, UV radiation, conductivity, antimicrobial, etc.). The industrial sectors concerned could be automotive, communication technology, MEMS, packaging, and textile.

organization of these nanoparticles in 1D, 2D and 3D super‐structures, (3) the structure‐properties relationships, with a full exploitation of the peculiar properties of these systems as the ultimate goal. Bare metal nanoparticles are grown by direct in situ vapor deposition on oxide surfaces in UHV conditions. Coated metal nanoparticles are obtained by synthesis in homogeneous phase either using reverse micelles as nanoreactors or from the aggregation of solvated metal atoms, and subsequently deposited on the substrates. Oxide substrates are nanopatterned with the aim of achieving the full control of the supra‐organisation of the nanoclusters in different kinds of super‐
lattices. Information on the basic metal‐support, metal‐ligand and nanoparticle‐nanoparticle interactions is derived from the interplay of calibrated experiments and first‐principle calculations, and is used to build up appropriate interparticle potentials. These potentials are utilized in molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the various growth processes under realistic conditions, from which a direct comparison with actual growth experiments is immediately possible. Once the structural properties are elucidated, general features of the structure‐property relationships will be investigated. The aim is to achieve control over the size, size distribution, morphology and properties of nanoparticles and super‐lattices. PROJECT DETAILS

temperature growth of metal oxides. Beside the ambition of the project is to incorporate the arrays into miniaturised low‐power‐
consumption gas sensing systems equipped with tiny micro‐chambers operated in an active sampling mode as micro‐reactors. The systems will operate with power‐consumption budgets comparable to a single commercial thick‐film gas sensing element, featuring at the same time superior gas distinction, drift compensation as well as self‐test functionalities. The NANOS4 proposal is mainly driven by the following markets needs: innovative sub‐system technology for increasing safety, comfort and economy of flying in large passenger aircrafts and in vehicles, early detection of smouldering fires, reliable and cost effective monitoring of environmental odour nuisances and workplace safety.

The new idea is to evaluate the potentialities of the FinFET, one of the non‐classical advanced MOSFETs that provides a path to CMOS scaling to the end of the RoadMap, for FLASH memory application. Main challenge will be the optimisation of the device structural design to achieve NVM functionalities. Additionally, the introduction of new materials will enable new operating principles that may provide new behaviour and functionality beyond the constraints of classical FLASH memories. The FinFLASH approach is promising both for stand‐alone NVMs, due to the extremely compact memory cell size, and for the embedded ones, due to the intrinsic compatibility of the FinFLASH process with the one of FinFET logic devices. The main objectives will be: 1) Study on the most promising charge storage media and device designs; 2) Evaluation based on single cells and arrays of FinFLASH devices; 3) Definition of program/erase schemes at ultra‐short channel lengths; 4) Development of comprehensive and predictive models both at the device and circuit level; 5) Simulation and optimisation of FinFLASH devices using TCAD tools. During the first year preliminary evaluations of multi‐gate device structural design will be made by advanced 2D/3D TCAD simulations. At the same time, the development of the critical technological modules will be treated. Both deep UV and e‐beam lithography will be adopted to realize devices, on Si‐bulk and SOI, with minimum size of 25nm x 25nm. A detailed electrical and microstructural evaluation of the devices will be performed. During the second year of the project, a second run of devices will be done, allowing for the evaluation of optimised FinFLASH cells and small arrays. The optimised structures will also include new materials for the gate stack like high‐k dielectrics and metal gates. PROJECT DETAILS

This can be used advantageously in diverse applications in optics, electronics, bio‐medicine, catalysis, but only if viable self‐assembly schemes using bottom‐up approaches can be realized for these systems. To this end, the project Self Assembly of Shape Controlled Nanocrystals (SA‐NANO) will bring breakthrough innovations in the control and understanding of the self‐assembly of rod and tetrapod shaped nanocrystals. Rods and tetrapods will be developed so as to posses a functional part and a recognition element for the purposes of self assembly in analogy to biological systems. As one main example, gold tips will be selectively grown on the edges of rods and tetrapods to serve as the recognition elements. These anchor points will be used in the self‐assembly of these objects in solution to create rod chains and tetra pod‐rod assemblies. Alignment and positioning of these objects onto pre‐patterned surfaces, also prepared using self assembly, will be developed. External biases including electric and magnetic fields, as well as microfluidics, will be used to achieve rod alignment and assembly. Theoretical modeling on self‐assembly and computation of electronic and optical properties to support the experiments will be also performed. Assemblies of shape‐
controlled nanocrystals will reveal new collective phenomena that will be studied by diverse techniques including optical spectroscopy, magnetic studies, and scanning probe methods. SA‐
NANO will advance the self assembly of shape‐controlled nanocrystals to the extent that the methods, concepts and understanding of the process will be available for broad implementation in device fabrication based on nanocrystal building blocks, with clear impact for the future of nanotechnology in Europe.

However, auto grafts always require a secondary surgery adding high costs to health services increase patient morbidity and are available in very limited quantities. Therefore, there is widespread interest around the world for programmes to rebuild and restore function of degenerative tissue using artificial implant materials. The enormous need for bone grafts and the recent progresses in biomedical and biomaterial sciences have stimulated the rapid growth and expansion of a new field: bone tissue engineering. However, this approach presents important limits to the transfer from an academic to a routine clinical environment: high cost, difficulties in transferring biological samples between hospitals and centralized "cell factories"; reproducibility due to lack of standards. The aim of this project is to combine the developments in the areas of tissue engineering based on materials and 3D scaffolds development with largely laboratory and few commercial activities in the field of bioreactors and transpose the concepts of tissue engineering and regeneration of the frontiers of new developments: the automated production of antilogous bone replacement materials The goal of this project is to develop a bioreactor that would be set‐up within the confines oaf hospital and which would be used to homogenously activate specially designed porous matrices with stem cells from harvested bone marrow aspirates of the patient to produce antilogous hybrid bone graftmaterials.This target will be achieved through the following scientific and technical objectives: 1) design and production of innovative bioreactors, 2) design and production of novel biomaterials and scaffolds architectures tailored for both bioreactor use and bone tissue engineering, 3) validation of the approach in preclinical animal studies.

This set of tools are founded on techniques such as Virtual Reality, 3D & Discrete Events Simulation, Knowledge Based Systems and Finite Element Analysis, evolved, combined and optimised in their interaction thanks to a new brand of innovative technologies that are the main object of KoBaS. The approach is meant to be flexible, adaptable, and scalable, to cope with the needs of a wide range of manufacturing centres for a number of traditional but strategic industrial sectors in Europe. These novel tools, for task and process planning, will be provided as services (customized for every manufacturing machine) for less intensive R&D traditional industrial sectors, by a Network of High‐
Tech SMEs that will be built during the project. Thanks to this new core of innovative tools, the manufacturing machine itself becomes intelligent, being aware of its state and being able to provide the desired goods, starting from the virtual model of the goods to be produced and naturally interacting with the user.

Recent droughts observed in these basins call for the need of an efficient technology to predict medium and long‐term flows for sustainable water resources management. The project developed appropriate mathematical models to represent snow‐pack dynamics and snowmelt runoff. These models have been expressly designed to integrate Earth Observation data and in‐situ hydrological and meteorological measurements, introducing therefore a novel approach to the representation of the involved physical processes in time and space. Model innovation stems with the enhanced capability of Earth Observation data to provide continuous information on state variables, that can be poorly accounted for using the traditional approach based on input‐output control. Model calibration, validation and demonstration have been performed for representative catchments of different geographic conditions (climate, geology, geomorphology, hydrography) in the European Alps. Models have been implemented in a geo‐service for tailoring data and models to different environments under an integrated, but modulated approach capable of effective addressing the specific problems raising from different stakeholders, these including water policy makers, economic (hydropower companies, irrigation schemes, municipal water supply), and social (regional, basin and municipal authorities, citizens) stakeholders. The geo‐service, fully compliant with the architecture of the Inspire initiative, is capable of coupling global and local data to compute, archive, upgrade and distribute snow derived information.

This is in part due to the la ck of available efficacious control methods, to the ban of some chemicals, and to the prohibition of their use in organic farming. The use of biocontrol agents, although is widely considered a very promising strategy of disease and weed management at the soil level, has still a limited application at the European level, due to the limited efficacy of the microbes and to the lack of knowledge for their best use. The main aim of the project is to study some of the already available or the most promising biocontrol microorganisms (such as Fusarium, Trichoderma or Coniothyrium sp.), using a combination of strategies. Studying the genetic and physiological enhancement strategies, the ecological fitness of the agents, the production, formulation and application methods, the integration with other organisms and with control methods, and assessing their quality and the risk of release into the environment, it will be possible to improve the efficacy of fungal biocontrol agents, allowing their wider use at t he European level, and giving new important tools to support the production of safer and healthier foods.

SUMMARY NEAREST is addressed to: ⇒ the identification and characterisation of large potential tsunami sources located near shore in the Gulf of Cadiz ⇒ the improvement of near real‐time detection of signals by a multi parameter seafloor observatory for the characterisation of potential tsunamigenic sources to be used in the development of an Early Warning System (EWS) Prototype ⇒ the improvement of integrated numerical models enabling more accurate scenarios of tsunami impact and the production of accurate inundation maps in selected areas of the Algarve (SW Portugal), highly hit by the 1755 tsunamis. In this area, highly populated and prone to devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, excellent geological/geophysical knowledge has already been acquired in the last decade. The methodological approach will be based on the cross‐checking of multi‐parameter time series acquired on land by seismic and tide gauge stations, on the seafloor and in the water column by broad band Ocean Bottom Seismometers and a multi‐parameter deep‐sea platform this latter equipped with real‐time communication to an onshore warning centre. Land and sea data will be integrated to be used in a prototype of EWS. NEAREST will search for sedi‐

In turn, these changes affect the fundamental necessities for human existence: human health, food production, ecosystem health and water. Atmospheric composition change research is therefore fundamental for the future orientation of Europe's Sustainable Development strategy. The overall goals of ACCENT are to promote a common European strategy for research on atmospheric composition change, to develop and maintain durable means of communication and collaboration within the European scientific community, to facilitate this research and to optimise two‐way interactions with policy‐makers and the general public. ACCENT will establish Europe as an international leader in atmospheric composition change research, able to steer research agendas through its involvement in major international programmes. ACCENT furthermore aims to become the authoritative voice in Europe on issues dealing with atmospheric composition change and sustainability. The ACCENT joint research programme focuses on aerosols, biosphere‐atmosphere interaction and transport and transformation of pollutants and it also looks for new partnership in economic and Earth System analysis. Integration will be achieved by creating common facilities and activities including: dedicated interactive web portal, models, data‐bases, measurement platforms, training and education opportunities, quality assurance procedures and facilities, integrated assessment and synthesis of scientific results and an interface with the general public. The excellence and the commitment of the ACCENT Partnership guarantee an effective and durable integration of the European atmospheric composition change research and that it becomes a pillar of the European Research Area.

Climate change is affecting all regions of the world and extreme events instigate water scarcity even in traditionally water rich areas. The mitigation of water stress at the regional scale depends not just on technological innovations, but also on the development of new integrated water management tools and decision‐making practices. Under this context, the AquaStress Integrated Project, extended over a four years period (February 2005 – January 2009), has attempted to develop interdisciplinary methodologies enabling actors at different levels of involvement and at different stages of the planning process to mitigate water stress problems. With 37 participating organisations from 17 countries combining both academic and practitioner skills, the Project has adopted a Case Study ‐ Stakeholder driven approach to generate knowledge in the technological, operational management, policy, socio‐economic, and environmental domains aiming to support the characterisation of water stress, the assessment of mitigation measures, the development of new options and supporting tools to evaluate them, the development and dissemination of guidelines, protocols, and policies and a participatory process for their implementation as well as the identification of barriers to policy mechanism implementation. The AquaStress project constituted an effort to bring together theory and practice in the field of Water Stress mitigation, aiming to enhance efforts to cope with water scarcity within the framework of the WFD through the development of tools, guidance documents and other instruments that will allow water sector actors to better organize and codify management actions with the support of the research work undertaken by the scientific community. The case study approach enabled the use of a common framework for the analysis of water stress and mitigation options, based on a participatory process that integrates stakeholder perception, increases their awareness on water stress issues, enhances the objectivity of scientific results and can facilitate the integration of results in developing EU‐relevant policy recommendations. The combination of water managers and citizen participation enabling full consideration of local water user interests with scientific expertise coming from different disciplines, offering experience and advanced capabilities in the application of already developed technological and economical instruments, allowed the successful calibration of research activities and stimulated the onset of a potential cultural change. The enhanced role of stakeholders in the project, which enabled their participation in the implementation activities not just as observers but instead as instigators for the case study development, has ensured a truly stakeholder‐driven approach. The project has produced a number of potentially useful documentation (192 deliverables, a large number of publications on scientific journals, communications at international conferences and six Final Major Outputs) and tools (integrated into the I3S), which will deserve further publicity and dissemination to the water community.

Climate change over the next 100 years will likely have a range of effects on the natural and material environment, including the historic built environment. Important changes will include alterations in temperature, precipitation, extreme climatic events, soil conditions, groundwater and sea level. Some processes of building decay will be accelerated by climate change, while others will be delayed. Within the NOAH’S ARK Project, as initial step the most relevant climate parameters affecting cultural heritage were identified. Outputs from Hadley Models (HADCM3 and HADRM3) were used to provide a picture of the European climate from 1961 to 2099. These data were employed to produce hierarchical maps aimed at presenting broad regional future threats. Firstly, climate change was mapped in terms of conventional climate parameters relevant to cultural heritage (e.g. yearly precipitation, rainfall intensity) for producing the climate maps. Subsequently, climate parameters were combined to produce specific heritage climatologies, e.g. wet‐frost, based on rain followed by intense freezing, allowing the preparation of the heritage climate maps. A further step employed climate parameters to determine the amount of damage occurring on building materials in future scenarios, and obtain the damage maps (e.g. stone surface recession, metal corrosion). Finally risk maps were prepared combining two or more damage processes that could occur in different regions of Europe. The research activity highlighted the great importance of water as a threat to heritage. Despite the fact that temperature is often considered the most recognizable agent of climate change, water seems to dominate when European monuments are considered. This may be water as seen in times of intense rain and floods. In a more subtle, but more pervasive, way it can be seen in how increased rainfall can overload roofing and gutters, penetrate into materials or deliver pollutants to building surfaces. Water is also involved in the humidity change that affects the growth of micro‐
organisms on stone and wood, and the formation of salts in masonries. The Vulnerability Atlas and Guidelines for cultural heritage management in the face of climate change were produced, aiming at assisting heritage stakeholders, owners and curators of historic buildings and collections, public policy‐makers and national heritage organizations to deal with future climate change pressures.

Over the past few years, there has been growing public concern about the potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), such as those from overhead power lines, mobile phones and other equipment. With new electronic technologies emerging all the time, this issue has become an urgent social and political conundrum. Many scientific studies have attempted to investigate these concerns but there is not yet a sufficiently robust consensus to inform policy‐
makers. Do EMFs pose a hazard to health and, if so, what are their potential effects? EMF‐NET set out to find the answers. EMF‐NET aimed to clarify whether or not electromagnetic fields are hazardous to health and to provide authoritative guidance to policy‐makers. EMF‐NET was a large coordinated action which: i) Managed, evaluated and collated the results of studies on EMF health effects and health implications; ii) Integrated European centres involved in research on occupational exposure to EMF in order to exchange experience and good practice, and to support policy‐makers; iii) Established expert groups focused on the improvement of specific aspects of research in this field; iv) Supported informed decision‐making for regulation and risk communication; v) Monitored future developments in new technology and EMF research. In that perspective EMF‐NET: i) Harmonized the coordinated results of established research projects to provide information, assistance and answers to regulatory bodies and industries; ii) Facilitated the development of internationally acceptable standards for EMF exposure; iii) Support informed decision‐making by health, environmental and other authorities, industries, consumer associations and individuals by providing reliable information about EMF effects. More than 40 Organizations contributed to EMF‐NET activities, including the Coordinators of the EC FP5 Projects, representatives of main research activities at national level in European countries, other stakeholders such as industry and trade union associations, regulatory bodies, scientific associations.

The SpiDME (Spintronic Devices for Molecular Electronics) project aims both at investigating nanoscale spin transport and fabricating functional spin nanodevices (e.g. spin‐filters, valves and/or transistors). The approach is twofold including: (i) spin‐valve architectures, where a non‐magnetic nanomaterial bridges two FM electrodes; (ii) devices with standard electrodes sandwiching a magnetic nanomaterial whose magnetization configuration determines the conductivity as a function of the orienting magnetic field. The final target is to reduce a functional spin device to a single NP or molecule. This approach can be considered as a potential "step forward" in the direction of future nanoelectronics. It has a clear advantage with respect to classical 'scaling down' solutions for spintronics: it builds electronic elements by using elementary functional units (molecules or nanometre scale clusters) that can be, to a large extent, engineered to match the requirements of the particular spin‐application.If proved as viable, such devices would strongly impact over the read‐head industry for magneto‐storage devices, having only one magnetic element, thus avoiding complicate architectures for layers pinning.

Materials from the laboratory to geological scales respond to perturbations in a complex nonlinear fashion. In particular, the response to finite perturbations which causes failure (triggering) is an important, yet poorly understood, issue. Causes of failure may either be exogenous (precipitations, pore pressure, seismic waves, or in the materials context, mechanical perturbations) or endogenous (chemomechanical deterioration, creep deformation, microcracking and microplasticity). The multiplicity of mechanisms makes it difficult to understand and forecast failure of materials, structures and devices, or the triggering of natural hazards such as landslides, snow avalanches and earthquakes. In either case one has to analyze the response of a complex material system, involving a wide range of scales in time and space. In particular, bridging the lengthscales is at the heart of understanding materials failure and implies a theory of size and scale effects. To achieve this, methodologies from materials and earth sciences must be integrated into the more general perspective of complexity. In particular, we will combine the investigation of triggering mechanisms through the statistical analysis of catalogs and field measurements, with laboratory experiments, multiscale materials simulations and non‐equilibrium statistical models and theories. This requires a transfer of knowledge across different disciplines which are traditionally separated. Tools developed for complex systems will be applied to materials and geoscience problems, multiscale materials modeling will be adapted to geomaterials, and experimental data and field observations will be fed back to assess the performance of theoretical models. The project represents a joint European initiative for developing complex systems theory into an integrated methodological framework for the analysis of complex behavior in materials failure from the atomic and nanoscale up to the geotectonic.

SUMMARY
Systems composed of a large number of interacting heterogeneous agents often display complex properties that cannot be deduced in a simple way by studying the behaviour of single agents. This research aims to study three‐dimensional complex pattern formation, in order to get a strong insight into features that may be relevant in more complex situations where the components move in a high dimensional configuration space. Animal group movements look very promising in this respect and we will concentrate our attention on the flocking behaviour of starlings, representing perhaps the best widely known example for the above class of behaviours. We will study the reasons of particular forms of flocking with the aim of understanding the collective movement o f the flock and its form in relation to the behaviour of the individuals of the group. Our goals are the following: a) By getting three‐dimensional reconstructions of their movements, we aim to characterize experimentally in a quantitative and qualitative way these movements. We plan to monitor the flock movements in space with the resolution of a single bird, in order to get information on possible leadership of a few birds. Data taken in aviaries will be used for comparison. b) We want to construct new models that give rise to such complex group behaviour. The experimental data should be crucial in inspiring these models and to discriminate possible differences among them. c) We intend to interpret the biological meaning and relevance of the formation of these patterns. d) As far as collective movements are common phenomena also in human behaviour (particular relevant in economics) we would like to explore the possibility of exporting the models and the techniques to economic collective choices. In this way we try to develop ways to investigate the reasons of social events, e.g. fashions, to understand socio‐
economic herding, and possibly to devise methods to tame dangerous excessive market fluctuations. PROJECT DETAILS

The project aims to improve three traditional fermented beverages as well as implementing the production of an innovative soy based fermented beverage. These products are Boza, a Turkish cereal based beverage, Ayran, a Turkish mildly fermented milk based slightly diluted yoghurt drunk after water and salt addition and Matsony, a Georgian milk based beverage; these products usually contain a high number of viable microorganisms when drunk. Additionally, a Fermented Soy Beverage developed in Poland is the object of analyses, standardisation and implementation into production by a SME of Czech Republic. The project involves SME beverage manufacturers, technology and plant suppliers, RTD public bodies and Institutes who are studying and characterizing these fermented beverages and from their natural microflora select strains which play a role in the fermentation process and in the production of both acids and flavours. The ability of strains to prevent the growth of undesired foreign microorganisms is tested to see if they can play a role of natural protection on behalf of these beverages. These strains are being used as starters that contribute to safeguarding the tastes of traditional products, the biodiversity of the microorganisms of this ecosystem as well as ensuring the sensory and nutritional benefits in the case of the innovative product Fermented Soy Beverage. The project tasks are carried out through trans‐national cooperation actions between participants and using a multi stage research approach comprising analyses of drinks, chemical, nutritional, microbiological and sensory characteristics of drinks and, where applicable, their functional properties. In this way, the quality of fermented beverages are improved in accordance with EU food hygiene standards and in order to impact on human health positively stimulating the growth of the fermented beverage market and the competitiveness of SMEs.

The dissemination of acquired knowledge and experience could reduce such deficit by developing tailored specific information tools. MEDAL project is aimed to disseminate the experience gained in national and INCO‐MED projects for identifying reliable conservation methods and exposure conditions for these precious witnesses of human creativity and technology. With this aim in mind, a Questionnaire will be distributed to identify needs of MB conservators and the information will be elaborated in order to design an Anglo‐Arabic web‐site to answer to answer these expectations. In the website a FAQ section will be created and the results of large‐scale investigation of ancient metal collections with exemplary cases will be shown with the description of conservation methods. The most important literature references and procedures will be reported for offering specific guided information also by using video. In order to disseminate information, one‐ week workshops will be also held in Turkey and Syria dedicated to innovative diagnostic tools, methods and materials for conservation of ancient metal artefacts and storage and exhibition planning. These workshops will be transformed in videos and they will be published on the website. During the 15th month a two weeks stage for Mediterranean young researchers will be organised in Italy and experimental training on innovative diagnostic tools will be organised. Finally, at the end of the project a Conference will be held in Egypt for building a Mediterranean forum with EU representatives, conservators and policy makers where to discuss the MB needs and expectations and how knowledge, technology and dissemination activities carried out during the previous European projects may be collectively evaluated and transformed in an improved valorisation of ancient metal artefacts.

SUMMARY The aim of this project is to introduce a new class of eco‐friendly and cost‐effective polymer composite construction material. The project addresses combination of European and Balkan scientific and engineering expertise in natural fibre composites, innovative house‐component design and construction, low cost‐low energy building composites and waste‐recycling processes to develop a new generation of housing systems that are environmentally friendly, economically viable and socially desirable. The Eco ‐houses project related to making life‐goods eliminates the consequences of the war in the environment, contributes to the sustainable development and helps to settle and to recover the political, financial and social situation in Western Balkan region. This proposal adopts an entirely holistic approach to how buildings (i.e. houses) should be constructed (and operated) in the future. It will develop and integrate technologies to use new construction materials (based on renewable resources), innovative component design, ease of assembly, integrated energy generation systems and waste recycling procedures to create housing systems with a much reduced environmental cost. The ECO‐PCCM contribute is the production, through innovation of new class of eco‐friendly composite materials with improved engineering properties compared to conventional construction materials and enabling the established of environmental friendly technology. The positive figure that the use of biodegradable plastics as a whole actually saves more oil than needed for their manufacture can be strengthened with an overall lower environment impact. To develop and produce eco‐friendly composites products computer‐aided material design approach will be applied. The project addresses man y shortfalls in current house design, construction and operation with a view provided by a pan‐European multidisciplinary team of researcher, engineers, architects and manufacturers.

The constant increase in chemical production and associated increase in energy
consumption and waste generation obstruct the achievement of protection of our
environment. Water is cheap and non toxic solvent, making it attractive in terms of
economy and safety. The overall purpose of this project is to bring together top
European laboratories who collectively possess all the required skills to develop and
implement the use of catalytic processes compatible with aqueous media, providing a
unique training ground for early-stage and experienced researchers. The main project
objectives will be:
• The design, synthesis and characterization of new hydrosoluble ligands
(cyclopentadienyls, phosphines, porphirins, azacrowns, bipyridyls etc.) and
macroligands (dendrimers), and the study of their co-ordination chemistry with
metals of catalytic relevance.
• The design, synthesis and characterization of organometallic compounds with aqua,
hydroxo, and oxo ligands.
• Studies of substrate activation and stoichiometric reactivity. Activation of inorganic
substrates such as water, dioxygen, dihydrogen, carbon and sulphur oxides,
bicarbonate and carbonate, phosphorus, organic substrates (alkynes, alkenes,
alcohols, thiols, nitriles,) etc. Activation of C-F, C-C and C-Heteroelement bonds.
• Physico-chemical studies of complex-solvent interactions including spectroscopic,
thermodynamic, kinetic and mechanistic investigations of the interaction between
transition metal complexes and solvent molecules. Process to be studied entail: water
coordination and exchange; proton transfer to and from a metal centre and ligands
as a function of pH; hydrogen bonding interactions between water (as a proton
donor) and transition metals or ligands (as a proton acceptor). Study of the effect of
solvent composition on pKa, rate constants, reaction enthalpies, etc.
• The development or improvement of analytical instrumentation for in situ and on–line
analysis of reaction intermediates, by-products and products of stoichiometric or
catalytic reactions (ESI-MS, spectroelectrochemistry, photochemistry, NMR
spectroscopy, etc).
• Theoretical studies, by ab initio and/or density functional methods, in parallel with
the experimental studies. Targets of this activity will be the modelling of catalytic
cycles and hydrogen bonded interactions. The analysis of solvent effects with
different solvent/solute interaction models.
• Catalytic studies in aqueous or biphasic media at different pH: CO2 hydrogenation,
oxidation of various substrates, hydrodehalogenation of fluorinated and chlorinated
hydrocarbons, functionalization of alkanes, metathesis of alkenes, hydroxylation of
white phosphorus, detoxication of poisonous nitriles, etc., including comparison of the
catalytic activity and selectivity of the water-soluble metalladendrimers with that of
the corresponding water-soluble monomers.
• Electrocatalytic studies in aqueous/biphasic media.
• Photochemistry and photocatalysis in aqueous/biphasic media including solar-induced
reactions.

An estimated 500 to 1000 Tg of carbon are emitted annually from the vegetation as BVOC, dominated by isoprenoids. Such a high rate of emission implies a large metabolic cost and hence a very important plant functional role for these compounds. Isoprenoids can be emitted by plants constitutively, or the emission may be induced in response to biotic and abiotic factors. Both constitutive and induced isoprenoids act as defensive compounds and are often crucial for plant protection in stressful environments, though their specific functions are still often elusive. In the presence of nitrogen oxides, isoprenoids are the main precursors of photochemical ozone (O3) production in the troposphere, where O3 acts as a potent greenhouse gas. The major scientific objectives of ISONET have been to elucidate the present and future roles of constitutive and stress‐induced volatile isoprenoids, and to supply mechanistic information at biochemical and eco‐physiological level that can be used to improve current estimates, parameterisation, and modelling of isoprenoids. The network provided 19 young scientists (7 early‐stage and 12 experienced researchers who mastered specifically fields covered by the project) with expertise and practice in a wealth of experimental techniques. ISONET offered a total of 467 person/months over the project duration to young researchers. ISONET trainees have been able to exploit this combination of knowledge to make significant progress in understanding the functions of plant isoprenoids. Trough organization of 15 outstanding international conferences, workshops and training courses, participation to a number of other events, and implementation of a large exchange of personnel, ISONET offered opportunities for high level training in the molecular biology, biochemistry, and eco‐physiology of isoprenoids as part of a network working together on a topic of high environmental impact and scientific importance. In addition, ISONET provided a direct link with the atmospheric chemistry, air quality and global change research communities, enhancing multi‐ and inter‐disciplinary research across the entire spectrum of biosphere‐atmosphere interactions science.

The BIMORE network focuses on research and development of novel nanoscale molecular opto‐
electronic devices for storage and processing of information. The network will take advantage of bio‐inspired approaches such as photosynthetic charge and energy transfer. The goal of the initiative is to integrate interdisciplinary expertise including organic‐ and biochemical synthesis, spectroscopic, structural and electrical characterization of molecules to build and characterize devices in order to shape future information technologies. The overall objective of the network is to exploit structural and unique photophysical properties of molecules, nanoscale structures and biological systems for development of efficient, nanosized electronic devices. Within the scope o f the initiative are energy or charge transport investigations through single molecules or small ensembles of molecules and proteins, which can either be switched by light, be redox active, or undergo a field induced conformational change. The ground and excited states of the molecules and proteins and the involved charge transfer processes will be in depth characterized in order to gain full understanding of the investigated systems. This information is key to understanding the performance of the molecules and proteins integrated into devices and to optimise device performance. Our consortium consists of a global player with long standing European research tradition in the field of information technology, five universities and two national research institutes from eight different countries, out of which two are associated states. The network has a strong focus on interdisciplinary training in this novel field, thus closing an existing educational gap in the European Research Area. The development of complementary skills (presentation, management, technology transfer, IP protection), is implemented actively by a fixed board of experts. PROJECT DETAILS

The present knowledge of the aerosol distribution is far from sufficient to properly estimate the role of aerosols in changes of the global and regional environmental conditions and climate. Improving the observation system for aerosols will contribute to almost all areas of societal benefits listed in the GEOSS Implementation Plan. Since it is in particular the information on the vertical distribution that is lacking, advanced laser remote sensing is the most appropriate tool to close the observational gap. EARLINET‐ASOS, starting on the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) infrastructure, consisting of 20 lidar stations distributed over Europe, will contribute to the improvement of continuing observations and methodological developments that are urgently needed to provide the multi‐year continental scale data set necessary to assess the impact of aerosols on the European and global environment and to support future satellite missions. The main objective is to improve the EARLINET infrastructure resulting in a better spatial and temporal coverage of the observations, continuous quality control for the complete observation system, and fast availability of standardized data products. This will be reached by strengthening the co‐operation among the partners with several networking activities: exchange of expertise with the main goal of defining and disseminating best practice and knowledge; quality assurance program for both algorithms and instruments for assessing and assuring common high quality standards; optimisation of instruments for achieving a better temporal coverage and standardization of performance; optimisation of data processing with the goal of establishing an automatic processing from raw data to final products; establishing a database provided with an user interface for dissemination of data. The expected outcome is the most comprehensive data source for the 4‐D spatio‐temporal distribution of aerosols on a continental scale. PROJECT DETAILS

In the BIOINFOGRID Specific Support Action (SSA) we propose combining Bioinformatics services and applications for molecular biology users with the Grid Infrastructure created by the EGEE Proposal (6th Framework Program). In the BIOINFOGRID initiative we plan to evaluate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and molecular dynamics applications studies based on GRID technology. The BIOINFOGRID SSA will establish a common ground for collaboration between the European Grid Infrastructure providers and the Bioinformatics research user community in various fields of Bioinformatics applications (Biology, Computational Chemistry, Medicine and Biotechnology). This will be achieved through specific studies for each reference application in the Bioinformatics domain in which experts of various disciplines can collaborate on the solution of highly complex problems. The programme covers the most contemporary uncharted fields of investigation in biological and medical research. The project will support studies on applications for distributed laboratory management systems for micro‐array technology, for gene expression studies, for gene data mining, for analysis of cDNA data, for Phylogenetics analysis, for distributed database access, for protein functional analysis and for molecular dynamics simulations in GRID. A new challenge of the Wide In Silico Docking on Malaria and an international conference for GRID Bioinformatics applications will be organized by the BIOFOGRID project. PROJECT DETAILS

making. Risks to our social fabric violate boundaries between nation states, government and communities. Trust is fundamental for risk interpretation of the public between "real" and "perceived" risks. Limitations of risk science, the importance and difficulty of maintaining trust, and the socio‐political nature of risk mean that a new approach is required: More public participation in risk assessments and decision‐making is needed in order to make the decision process more democratic, improve the relevance/quality of technical analysis and increase the legitimacy and public acceptance of political decisions. The main objective of MIDIR is to develop a resilience and risk governance concept based on existing research and an accompanying management tool. In this context, the material goal "resiliency" and the more procedural approach "risk governance will be combined through an interdisciplinary approach that defines a reasonable path (risk governance) towards the material goal of creating resilient communities. The new concept will be tested in the real decision‐making settings of existing risk management systems by the example of two emerging risks with a high degree of uncertainty and ambiguity: risks related to criminals under hospital treatment order and risks related to health due to e‐commerce. Implementing the new risk governance concept will test its applicability in praxis and lead to new, innovative knowledge about dealing with these risks in Europe. An accompanying management tool will monitor and evaluate the process over the whole project time providing detailed and comparable information about results. Bringing risk governance to policy and decision‐making and other societal actors by networking and disseminating the new concept will complete the co‐ordination activities. PROJECT DETAILS

These subjects should, therefore, be particularly effective in making people aware of the importance of science and technology and of their impact on society. The project will provide European citizens with a deeper understanding of the nature of energy (its transformations, exploitation current problems and future scenarios) and of semiconductors and semiconductor technology together with an appreciation of their impact on modern society. This will be achieved through the development of a web portal where everyone can find information about scientific and technological issues in multimedia format. The portal will provide access to versions of the following multimedia: ‐La conquista dell'energia, produced by the INFM (currently in Italian, translated into French, English, Spanish and German); ‐L'energia e le sue trasformazioni, produced by the INFM, in English, Spanish and Italian;‐Dal silicio al Computer, produced by the INFM, in English, Spanish and Italian; Users will also have access to a network of scientific experts who have agreed to answer users' questions. The objectives of the project are to explain the impact of scientific and technological advances and their applications, benefits and limits to the general public and to young students, in order to make scientific and technological knowledge more readily accessible to them, taking advantage of the effectiveness of a multimedia approach, and to stimulate young people's interest in scientific careers. Throughout, due attention is paid to historical and multidisciplinary perspectives. The portal will be launched at the European S.&T. Week 2004, at other public exhibitions, and used, as a didactic tool, in EU schools. The partners will use their own diffusion networks and resources to publicise and disseminate the service as much as possible PROJECT DETAILS
