Edusafe

Education in advanced VR/AR Safety Systems for Maintenance in Extreme Environments
The Edusafe project is a 4-year ITN with 10 ESR and 2 ER researchers, which focuses on research into the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) during planned and emergency maintenance in extreme environments (nuclear installations, space, deep sea etc). The scientific objective of this project is research into advanced VR and AR technologies for a personnel safety system platform, including features, methods and tools.

DITANET

Novel DIagnostic Techniques for future particle Accelerators: A Marie Curie Initial Training NETwork
DITANET covers the development of advanced beam diagnostic methods for a wide range of existing or future accelerators, both for electrons and ions. It aims to train young researchers within a European network between several major research centers, leading Universities, and partners from industry.

CLOUD-TRAIN

CLOUD Initial Training Network

The aim of CLOUD-TRAIN is to establish a multi-site network of Early Stage Researchers (here predominantly PhD students) and Experienced Researchers at 10 partner institutions across Europe. The role of aerosol nucleation for atmospheric CCN levels, clouds and climate is investigated. The influence of various vapours and ions for aerosol nucleation, growth and cloud processes is studied to significantly improve our understanding of natural and anthropogenic climate forcing as well as feedback mechanisms. The project is a follow-up of CLOUD ITN.

ARDENT

Advanced Radiation Dosimetry European Network Training

ARDENT provides training for 15 Early-Stage Researchers (ESR) in the field of advanced instrumentation for radiation dosimetry in mixed radiation fields, and for monitoring clinical ion beams used in cancer therapy and the associated stray radiation. Researchers develop and test instrumentation based on advanced technologies for measuring energy distributions and dosimetric quantities in complex radiation fields, as well as in monoenergetic particle beams used in cancer therapy.

SEE-GRID-SCI

South-East European Grid e-Infrastructures for Regional e-Science
SEE-GRID-SCI stimulates widespread eInfrastructure uptake by new user groups extending over the south-east European region, fostering collaboration and providing advanced capabilities to more researchers, with an emphasis on strategic groups in seismology, meteorology and environmental protection. The initiative thus aims to have a catalytic and structuring effect on target user communities that currently do not directly benefit from the available infrastructures.

Parse.Insight

Insight into issues of Permanent Access to the Records of Science in Europe
There is a very real risk that much of the scientific data and documentation that exists may be lost to future generations unless permanent access is secured. PARSE.Insight focuses on the infrastructure needed to support persistence and understandability of these key assets over the long term.
