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.

CLOUD-ITN

Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets - Initial Training Network

CLOUD-ITN is a multi-site network investigating various aspects of the interactions of cosmic rays with aerosols and clouds, which bears on the possibility of a "solar indirect" contribution to climate change.

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.

OpenAIREplus

2nd-Generation Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe
OpenAIREplus will build a 2nd-Generation Open Access Infrastructure by significantly expanding in several directions the outcomes of the OpenAIRE project, which implements the EC Open Access (OA) pilot. Capitalizing on the OpenAIRE infrastructure, built for managing FP7 and ERC funded articles, and the associated supporting mechanism of the European Helpdesk System, OpenAIREplus will “develop an open access, participatory infrastructure for scientific information”. Deposited articles and data will be openly accessible through an enhanced version of the OpenAIRE portal, together with any available relevant information on associated project funding and usage statistics.

OpenAIRE

Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe
OpenAIRE will deliver the e-Infrastructure to power the Open Access pilot of the European Commission. This will consist of an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanism for the identification, deposition, access and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles, where the main supporting mechanism will be the establishment and operation of the European Helpdesk System. Additionally the project will offer a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subject-based/thematic repositories.
