? MG-1.8-2015: International cooperation in aeronautics with Japan
Future passenger-friendly cabin architecture and systems. Societal trends in demographics (e.g. aging population) and in behaviour (e.g. use of personal electronic devices) call for aviation to adapt towards a tailored passenger-experience. By taking into account societal demands, cultural specificities and technology strengths from Europe and Japan, research work should aim at innovative human-centred cabin space architectures and advanced on-board systems to enhance accessibility, safety, comfort, connectivity and availability of new contents and services. Aspects such as efficient cabin installation / re-configuration, power and data distribution, communications and electro-magnetic radiation should be addressed accordingly. Lighter integrated heat exchanger systems. In order to decrease CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, future configurations will demand increasing levels of heat management e.g. for oil, fuel and air. Current heat exchanger systems will not be sufficient and new technological advances are required to comply also with other challenges, such as reduced space, weight and cost. Research work should aim at further developing technologies, at better integrating the components and at advancing manufacturing capabilities to enable compact low-cost heat exchanger systems. Efficient composite structure manufacturing and monitoring. The increasing use of composite materials in aircraft calls for more efficient manufacturing processes in terms of resources, time and costs. In addition, the specific behaviour of composites in relation to high-temperature, lightning-strike, impact, etc. calls for better integrating structural health monitoring and protection mechanisms. Research work should aim at increased productivity, reliability and performance through new composite manufacturing and assembly processes for aircraft production. Smarter flight control technologies for enhanced safety. Safety is embedded in aircraft design and operations making air transport the safest transport mode. Nevertheless, pilot assistance in case of exceptionally degraded flight conditions has potential to further enhance safety. Research work should aim at smarter flight control technologies such as fault-tolerant / adaptive control, in-flight self-learning systems and haptic interfaces for pilot assistance, especially at emergency situations.

? MG-9.1-2015: Transport societal Drivers
A sound understanding of behavioural and societal factors including economic, social, demographic, cultural and gender issues where relevant- that influence transport demand and supply is needed to ensure that, in shaping transport policies and research and innovation activities, the values, needs and expectations of the society are met.
Stakeholders from within and outside the sector should be involved, in particular: policy makers, civil society organisations, end-users, industry including suppliers (vehicles and components all modes) and transport service providers, academia and research organisations. These actors, by being engaged in this collaborative and knowledge-mobilisation process, will learn to explore together the most appropriate and viable solutions. Links and synergies with transport-related European Technology Platforms (ETPs) and the on-going TRANSFORUM[1] project would add significant value.

The action plan should focus on:
Understanding user needs, mobility choices, aspirations and behaviours.
Assessing how new mobility concepts would contribute to the overall transport efficiency.
Exploring implications for policies, regulations, standards, forms of governance.
Analysing societal resistance to acceptance of emerging transport technologies and services.
Exploring market opportunities alongside the innovation chain, including services.
Foster consensus-building and public-engagement, thus facilitating the dissemination of good practices and the deployment of innovative transport and mobility solutions.

Dedicated outreach activities to foster awareness and engagement of transport users and of the young generations in particular should be undertaken, in order to enable the development of responsible and innovative attitudes as regards their mobility behaviour.

Proposals shall have a minimum duration of two years, with partners coming from at least 10 different countries and from the above-mentioned types of organisations. The maximum EU contribution cannot exceed EUR 3 million
