Consortium as a whole. The core of the project was formed at the unofficial suggestion of the commission when it was suggested that previous independent FP5 projects that had tackled Sign Language recognition (such as CogViSys:UniS), and Sign Language synthesis (such as ViSiCAST:UEA,UHH and eSign:UEA,UHH)should bring their expertise together to tackle the difficult problem of large scale sign language recognition. The consortium was formed on the basis of a long tradition of academic contacts within most of the partners, e.g. through GW and LREC workshops, partially resulting in staff exchange. Joint projects: UHH UEA (EU: ViSiCAST, EU: eSIGN, UK: SignAware) UPS CNRS WebSourd (FR: LS-Script) UHH ATHENA RC (LREC 2008 workshop organisation) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ RC UEA (UAIS Journal Vol 6, No 4: Special Issue “Emerging Technologies for Deaf Accessibility in the Information Society”. Editors) Whereas partners have gained expertise and exhibit co-operation also within the framework of national projects: German national predecessor projects: various projects on special terminology dictionaries for DGS French projects funded by the ministry of research (IRIT-LIMSI: ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇; ▇▇▇▇-LIMSI-WebSourd: LS- Script; IRIT-Websourd: Internet use). WebSourd: Business opportunity with a national transport company (SNCF), aiming at providing a system displaying information for deaf people. Extent to a pan-European multi sign-language system is investigated. Greek national project DIANOEMA for initiating work on GSL recognition, funded by GSRT-Hellas (ATHENA RC-NTUA/ICCS-▇▇▇▇▇) Greek national project SYNENNOESI for initiating work on GSL synthesis, funded by GSRT-Hellas (ATHENA RC-NTUA/ICCS-Systema SA) As regards WebSourd, the commercial partner of the consortium, their motivation and industrial/commercial drivers in the project run as follows: The “accessibility” market is growing worldwide, and especially in France, where a law enforcing companies to offer access to disabled people has been adopted since 2005. Signing avatar technology promises interesting commercial applications, allowing companies to inform their deaf customers (when a list of informative sentences has been predetermined). Multi-lingual aspect: SL-to-SL translators and Sign-Wiki may be used to develop a generic platform of e- learning in SL. Some pieces of software developed within this project could be of great interest when considering the creation of a community-oriented website: sign language analysis and recognition technologies could be ...
Consortium as a whole. The I-KAM2EU consortium is made up of all the 7 partners of SME2EU consortium covering the three Italian regions Marche, Tuscany and Umbria: • in Marche: o Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura di Ascoli ▇▇▇▇▇▇ o Compagnia delle Opere Pesaro Urbino • in Tuscany: o PromoFirenze Azienda ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Camera di Commercio Industria Artigianato e Agricoltura di Firenze o Confindustria Toscana o Eurosportello Confesercenti • in Umbria: o Centro Estero Umbria o Società regionale per lo sviluppo economico dell’Umbria - Sviluppumbria spa The specific objective of SME2EU project (▇▇▇▇▇ Call for proposals COS-WP2014-2-1) starting on 1 January 2015, is for Enterprise Europe Network services, to provide advice, support and information activities to increase the competitiveness and innovation capacities of European SMEs. All the I-KAM2EU and SME2EU partners also participated in CINEMA project, the Central Italy consortium for the Enterprise Europe Network active until the end of 2014.
Consortium as a whole. The proposed NEXPReS programme will bundle expertise in radio astronomy and several ICT areas: networking, storage and computing. Building up this formal interdisciplinary structure is probably the most important aspect of the entire program. There already exist a number of structures (including ones that are EC supported) that have expertise in radio-astronomical instruments, focused on existing or future research infrastructures, but the collaboration in (N)EXPReS is unique in the sense that it enforces collaboration between the two domains. We have learned from the past that this formal structure is essential for keeping a focus on the development work and getting support from organizations outside the funded collaboration. The NEXPReS partners will bring together essential crafts for carrying out the work described in the Joint Research and Service Activities. In constructing this distribution of work packages we have had our focus solely on bringing the appropriate talents together. Note that a few organizations contribute to the programme without expecting return from the EC funds. These partners are included in order that their effort contributes formally to the project and to make sure they are represented in the management structure. Furthermore, we expect other partners from the radio astronomy community and NRENs to participate in the network activities. In the past the existence of an EC project in this area has been a catalyst for a large number of such interactions While the project primarily builds on the existing collaborations in traditional VLBI, there is an increasing role for other radio astronomy facilities with a large ICT component. Notably the International LOFAR Telescope (or e- LOFAR) that is currently being commissioned across several European countries, is encountering a number of similar technological issues for its future operations. The facilities already share the same engineering basis and have a largely overlapping user community. Indeed, in some of the forums common problems and common solutions have been discussed in the past. In NEXPReS these ties will only be stronger when operational matters will also start to share the same connectivity infrastructure. This common footing will be an asset for Europe’s role in the SKA. In this project there is a central role for JIVE in managing and implementing most of the Service Activities. This may seem lopsided, but it is in fact very natural. As a joint European facility for VLB...
Consortium as a whole. The MOLTO Consortium has four partners, of which three are academic and one industrial. The consortium was built with a great care to match the vision of MOLTO and provide the competences needed without too much overlap. The result of the process is a consortium that also covers a representative set of five different countries, diverging both geographically as in terms of language families: ▇▇▇▇▇-Ugric, Germanic, Romance, and Slavic. An essential question in a multilingual project like MOLTO is to find a sufficient basis of developers and testers for the different languages. Here, the consortium itself comes a long way towards the goal: its key persons alone have proficiency in at least ten languages. More languages are available in the immediate vicinity: in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the coordinating site UGOT alone, 30 nationalities are represented. The main competences and responsibilities of each partner can be summarized as follows: UGOT, University of Gothenburg, Coordinator. UGOT has a leading competence in multilingual grammar formalisms and grammar resources, and the group coordinates the collaborative open- source development of GF. In MOLTO, UGOT is responsible for the design and implementation of grammar development tools (WP2) and the availability of linguistic resources. UGOT also provides technical help in integrating GF with the translation tools (WP3), the Knowledge Engineering (WP4), and statistical methods (WP5). Moreover, UGOT has the leading role in the Cultural Heritage case study, where it builds on its previous competence on the domain, as well as collaboration with Gothenburg City Museum. In WP7, UGOT will develop the grammars needed in the hybrid model. As Coordinator of MOLTO, UGOT has the main responsibility for management (WP1) and dissemination (WP10). UHEL, University of Helsinki. ▇▇▇▇ has competence in human translator training and translation tools, as well as in grammar development and ontologies. UHEL is therefore the main responsible partner for translator’s tools (WP3) and requirements and evaluation (WP9). The group has both research and practical experience with CAT and MT tools (taught Trados tools since 1995), including involvement in national R&D projects where CAT tools have been or are developed (MLIS Lingmachine, Masterin TM/MT system, Multilingual Workbench). The group was also involved in the development of mathematical GF grammars for the WebALT project. UPC, Universitat Politecnic...
Consortium as a whole. The composition of this consortium has been carefully selected in order to include all the expertises in IHD and especially cardiac imaging in order to faster accomplish of the main objectives of the proposed project. All groups participating in the consortium have the expertise and facilities to perform the proposed experiments.
Consortium as a whole. The SkAT-VG consortium is at the same time small enough to allow for flexibility and adaptation, and based on a solid experience that covers the scientific domains necessary for the success of the project. It includes four participants from different disciplines all having an important experience in sound and interaction de- sign, by working in close relations with industry professionals and sound designers, providing tools and methodologies for designers, and being involved in several projects related to sound and interaction design. This expertise ensures the relevance of the SkAT-VG objectives for the community of designers. Particu- larly, the reference framework provided by WP7, and the imitation-driven sound synthesis tools provided by WP6 will benefit from such kind of expertise. Reaching the objectives of SkAT-VG also requires a strong scientific background, provided by the partners. One the one hand, IUAV has a strong experience in sound synthesis, and particularly in the conception and development of algorithms based on the physics of me- chanical sources. On the other hand, the collaboration between KTH and IRCAM will allow to study the phenomenon of imitations from two perspectives: from the perspective of the phonetic production of imita- tions (KTH), and from the perspective of the perception of imitations (IRCAM). This collaboration between IRCAM and KTH will therefore provide a unique approach to this phenomenon in WP3 and WP4. KTH has additional experience in gesture analysis and is currently building a Performance and Multimodal Inter- action Lab which will include a motion-capture system that will be operational for the SkAT-VG project. This facility will strengthen collaboration between KTH and IRCAM, especially through short-term sci- entific missions. The link between the basic study of imitations of sounds, and the final development of the sketching tools will be made in WP5: The results of WP3 and WP4 will feed the system of automatic recognition of imitations developed in WP5. The expertise of the IMTR and the A/S group at IRCAM in machine learning and automatic classification will ensure the success of this work package. The system will be used for the tools developed in WP6 and WP7, where the role of industrial partner GENESIS (SME) will be exploited. The relationship among the SkAT-VG participants and their best cooperation for the internal operation of the consortium will be regulated by a Consortium Agreement, whose terms shal...
Consortium as a whole. The PACE-Net Plus consortium presents a broad partnership of sixteen members. Ten partners are from the Pacific region, including OCTs and regional entities, four are European, one is an international organization and one a Europe-ACP organization. The consortium members present clear complementarities as regards skills, missions, scope, and geographic representation. All of them have a strong expertise in STI, whether at the national and regional level, or internationally. As regards the Pacific region, the consortium counts among its members small islands country organizations, such as the National University of Samoa (NUS) and the Vanuatu Cultural Center (VKS), which were not represented in the former project. Regional organizations (USP, SPC) are still partners of the project, ensuring thus a whole coverage of the region. SPC is strongly linked to the Pacific Island Forum. Besides small islands and regional entities, Australia (ANU, Montroix pty ldt) and New Zealand (LCR) are also members of the consortium. Finally, the participation of ILM (French Polynesia) and CNRT (New Caledonia) ensures of satisfying representation of OCTs and complement the landscape of the Pacific representation within PACE-Net Plus. Five project partners were actually partners in the former INCO-Net targeting the Pacific region, including the coordinator. This is an essential condition to ensure certain continuity with the former project while giving a new impetus to PACE-Net Plus, and to build on experience gained, taking into account the lessons learnt. Many partners, such as IRD, SPI, ACU, CTA and ANU, are very experienced in EC international cooperation projects. They will communicate to the less experienced partners the spirit and rules of EC projects and of the INCO-Nets in particular, and assist them in the implementation process. Many partners of PACE-Net Plus are multidisciplinary institutions, as the Universities (NUS, ANU, USP, UPNG) and IRD, and their activities actually cover the three societal challenges addressed. The thematic focuses and the emphasis on innovation aspects, required by the INCO call 2013, addressed by PACE-Net Plus made it necessary to rely on partners with relevant areas of specialization: - Health, demographic change and wellbeing: ILM, ANU, UPNG, USP, NUS, IRD - Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research and the bio-economy: CTA, LCR, ZMT, USP, UPNG, ANU, NUS, IRD - Climate action, resource efficiency and raw material...

Consortium as a whole. The main aim of the EQUAL4EUROPE consortium is to contribute to increased gender equality in the European Research Area (ERA). Specifically, the consortium wants to develop Gender Equality plans which are suitable for Research Performing Institutions (RPI) which have a clear focus on arts, humanities, medicine, social sciences, business and law (AHMSSBL). The composition of the consortium makes it possible to reach this aim through different type of activities. The EQUAL4EUROPE project brings together six acclaimed AHMSSBL business school and universities as well as two International Association of universities (one as full partner, i.e. EFMD and one as associate partner, CEEMAN) and one independent consultancy firm that have long- standing working relationships. Next to this the partners have formulated a clear approach which includes a comprehensive and clear work program which will enable them to reach their goals. The vision and mission of the EQUAL4EUROPE project is understood and supported by all the consortium partners.
