The Technical University of Varna, Bulgaria is the coordinating partner and participates in all Work Packages. TUV is the second largest Technical University in Bulgaria. The research activities involve more than 130 PhD students. TUV is the first Bulgarian University accredited successfully by EUA (European University Association) and also the first implementing the quality management system. TUV is also a Coordinator of two national and one international projects in the same field. The University provides engineers of regional and national importance for shipbuilding, transport, machinery, electronics, electricity and communications technology needed for industrial complexes and developing in northeastern Bulgaria. |

The Katholieke University of Leuven, Belgium boasts a rich tradition of education and research that dates back six centuries. It is currently by far the largest university in Belgium in terms of research funding and expenditure and it has more than 40 000 students, of which 11% are doctoral students. KU Leuven conducts fundamental and applied research in all academic disciplines with a clear international orientation. It provides high-quality, comprehensive health care with its University Hospital. KU Leuven participates in over 540 highly competitive European research projects (FP7, 2007-2013), ranking sixth in the league of HES institutions participating in FP7, and it constitutes an attractive destination for the world’s best researchers. |

The Australian Synchrotron, is a world-class national research facility that uses accelerator technology to produce a powerful source of light – x-rays and infrared radiation – a million times brighter than the sun. The facility has ten different experimental stations, or beamlines, which harness that light so researchers can see the fundamental structure and composition of materials, on scales ranging from the atomic to the macroscopic – with a level of detail, speed and accuracy not possible in conventional laboratories. The Australian Synchrotron supports a broad range of high quality research, with applications in sectors from medicine and nanotechnology to manufacturing and mineral exploration. |

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), is the most intense source of synchrotron-generated light, producing X-rays 100 billion times brighter than the X-rays used in hospitals. These X-rays, endowed with exceptional properties, are produced at the ESRF by the high energy electrons that race around the storage ring, a circular tunnel measuring 844 metres in circumference. |

The National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. All of the INFN’s research activities are undertaken within a framework of international competition, in close collaboration with Italian universities on the basis of solid academic partnerships spanning decades. Fundamental research in these areas requires the use of cutting-edge technology and instruments, developed by the INFN at its own laboratories and in collaboration with industries. |
