Theoretical predictions and analyses of LHC physics: advancing the precision frontier 
LHCtheory plans to push to new levels of precision the predictive power of theoretical analyses of the phenomena observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The crucial ingredient in the success of this ambitious programme is the ability to interpret the signals extracted by the experiments. Capitalizing on recent theoretical advances, this project outlines a challenging and ambitious programme to advance to new levels the precision, generality and scope of the analysis tools used by both experimentalists and theorists engaged in LHC physics.

BSMOXFORD: Physics Beyond the Standard Model at the LHC and with Atom Interferometers 
Elementary particle physics is entering a spectacular new area in which experiments at the LHC at CERN will soon start probing some of the deepest questions in physics. BSMOXFORD is aimed at setting up a world-leading European center for development of a deeper theory of fundamental physics.

Hot and dense QCD in the LHC era 
QCD, the theory of strong interactions, has been defined as our most perfect physical theory, in part because its compact and apparently simple Lagrangian hides a plethora of emerging phenomena. Hot LHC aims to fully exploit the new possibilities of the Large Hadron Collider to characterise unexplored domains of QCD.

Cosmology at the CERN Large Hadron Collider 
The Cosmo@LHC project has two inter-twined aspects. One is on the electroweak theory, particle physics issues such as relation to the hierarchy problem, collider signatures and flavour problems. The second one is on the cosmology implications of new physics at the TeV scale.

CityMobil2

Cities demonstrating cybernetic mobility 
CityMobil highlighted the importance of automating road vehicles, from partly automated car-share schemes through CyberCars and PRT, to BRT which can make urban mobility more sustainable. CityMobil2 aims to address the main barriers that have been identified to the deployment of automated road vehicles: the implementation framework, the legal framework and the unknown wider economic effect.

Space Radiation Superconductive Shield 
SR2S explores the feasibility of a superconducting magnetic shield to protect astronauts from long time exposure to Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) and Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) which are thought to cause a significant increase in the probability of various type of cancers. It also includes the development of some key abilitating technologies to be used to build such a spacecraft shield.
