Fibre Nervous Sensing Systems. FINESSE

The objective behind FINESSE (FIbre NErvous Sensing SystEms) is to mimic the nervous system of living bodies by turning man-made and natural structures into objects that are sensitive to external stimuli owing to advanced distributed fibre-optic sensor technology, with the objective to either give early warning in case of possible danger or occurrence of damage, or to optimise the operation of the structure to allow for a sustainable use of natural resources and assets.

Climate KIC - Pioneers into Practice (2014) - PIP 2014

The Pioneers into Practice programme develops high-level innovation skills for the low-carbon economy. We provide individuals from a range of different backgrounds with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of the transition to a more sustainable society by joining real-life projects, throughout Europe.
Participants in the Pioneers into Practice programme get the unique opportunity to learn about climate change innovation in the field, enhance their CV and to expand their professional network.

RISIS - Research Infraestructure for Science and Innovation Studies

The RISIS project aims at creating a distributed research infrastructure to support and advance science and innovation studies. This will give the field a strong scientific push forward, and at the same time, provide a radically improved evidence base for research and innovation policies, for research evaluation, and for the quality of policy relevant indicators.

Mapping and assessment of research portfolios (mapreport)

This project aims to develop an analytical framework for the mapping and assessment of research portfolios. The notion of "research portfolio" is increasingly used by funding agencies. However, there is no clear understanding and very little research on how to define, map and assess a research portfolio. Here we aim to develop a multi-method approach to investigate a research portfolio of a given disease.

Social impacts Assessment Methods for research and funding instruments through the study of Productive Interactions between science and society.

The objectives of the project are to:

1. Identify productive interactions between researchers and society in four fields (nanotechnology, health, ICT and social sciences) that are funded within the Framework Program and in national contexts. For each of these fields we will analyse the range of expected and actual social impacts, and the interactions through which these impacts are realised.

2. Improve our understanding of the necessity of productive interactions as a condition for research to have a social impact.

Advances Quantitative Methods for the Evaluation of the Performance of Public Sector Research - Phase 2.

The project is the continuation of the AQUAMETH project (2004-2005), that has delivered an integrated dataset across six European countries: Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK; a series of papers; and a forthcoming book (2006).

The scientific objectives of the AQUAMEHT - phase 2 project are:

a) consolidating and expanding the AQUAMETH methodology and dataset to new countries: Germany, Netherlands, Hungary and France;

b) exploring new issues using the integrated AQUAMETH dataset, in particular:
