Abstract:
Globalization of terrorism became a reality that can not be disputed, a threat to national and international security and, thus, a phenomenon under the responsibility of the entire international community. Terrorist threat, theatres of operations with explosive traps everywhere, with the possibility of using biological weapons of various viruses, drugs, etc are a constant threat to the civilian population, unwittingly victim of varied interests. It is an ongoing concern of many laboratories in the world to detect traces of explosives in the atmosphere, in order to minimize the risks arising from them. To avoid or prevent serious incidents that could endanger people's lives, EU adopted new security rules. These rules apply to security checkpoints at airports, the senior public institutions, in the cultural and artistic events with massive participation, etc. However, there are situations in which all efforts to prevent terrorist acts are not sufficiently effective, creating holes that are exploited by potential attackers. Therefore, rapid detection of explosive compounds is of great interest given the need to prevent any human casualties and material damages caused by their use in different ways and for destructive purposes. The principle SENSOREX will bring an additional performance in the field of detection devices for dangerous substances with the low response time, high specificity, greater functionality and last but not least a low production price. Practical relevance of the project subject is to develop innovative products and manufacturing processes that underlie the development of sensitive, selective, reliable and low cost sensors detection of explosives. Appearance is very important from the perspective of efficient procedures for prevention of terrorism threats by using them in areas where existing equipment besides being very expensive, are almost impossible to use due to ergonomic aspects, reducing processing time suspicious persons and packages various strategic points and last but not least reduce additional costs. The main objective of SENSOREX project is to develop through this national partnership, a sensor with high sensitivity detection of explosives traces . Implementation status of this sensitive platform will be a sensor – demonstrator model tested and calibrated with low response time, high sensitivity and specificity, easy to use and interpreted by a non-specialist user and not least a low cost. Progresses that SENSOREX project brings through its results are: innovative methodologies for obtaining titanium dioxide films and molecularly imprinted polymers; creating scientific premises for serial production of a device with high sensitivity to reduce the most important barriers to personal and group security; final product of the project, sensor – demonstrator model, by its future implementation in production strategy of the private company, partner in this project, it will cover a hole on external and internal market of the profile products.

Abstract:
All over Europe objects in museums, historic buildings or in libraries are being affected either by display or by storage conditions. Unsuitable environmental conditions are a serious threat for the artefacts’ conservation and greatly reduce their lifespan as frequently the induced damage may remain invisible for a long period, while the inner structures may already have been seriously weakened. The potential impact of climate change on the cultural heritage (CH) adds growing reasons for concern and raises new challenges for all actors sharing the responsibility of CH preservation. Sustainable preventive conservation strategies involving the application of science-based knowledge, conservation skills and information technology are required to achieve the right balance between the need to protect CH and the increasing demand for its access or use. In the context outlined by both the economic crisis and depletion of traditional energy sources there is a pressing need to ensure that energy, money, personnel and other resources are being utilized most effectively for the long-term preservation of collections. Museums, libraries and various CH organizations are therefore called upon to justify costs and allocation of resources. Their budget and skills however do not allow them to address and find solutions to such complex problems. INherit project thus fulfils the need for national mobilization of knowledge, expertise, skills and resources to deliver effective solutions for managing the museum and library environment so as to achieve both collection preservation and cost efficiency. To this end the project will develop:
1) Intelligent multi-sensor systems for environmental monitoring and management in museums and libraries
2) Damage functions of deterioration of organic heritage materials
3) Improved environmental guidelines based on the damage level of collections and local climate parameters
4) Recommendations for low-cost climate control systems in museum and library depots
The current scientific and technical barriers will be lifted by integration of multiple expertise and skills of the Consortium partners in the design and development of project’s end products. INherit is a strong interdisciplinary project that integrates the results from distant disciplines as natural sciences and humanities. Its success will be secured by its innovative features:
Flexibility: adaptability to the needs and specificities of end-users
Openness: ability to incorporate new knowledge generated during the project and beyond
Synergy: interaction between research partners, developer and end-users during the project and beyond the project conclusion
Focus: unify and solve interrelated problems as preventive conservation, energy consumption, resources distribution.
The benefits arising from the exploitation of both the scientific and technological outcomes of the projects are:
• Decisive improvement of museum / library environment
• Best preventive conservation practice and strategy
• Effective allocation of resources for the long-term preservation of collections
• Enhanced capacity of networking within the CH community
• New knowledge on heritage materials
• Patents for web tools (hardware, software)
• Better leverage of funds for science and technology dedicated to CH at national level
• Training of future researchers and CH professionals ensuring that the project’s benefits will continue well beyond its end
• Strengthened transdisciplinary research and collaboration in the CH field.

Abstract:
The evaluation of the real risks to the sustainability of cultural heritage (CH) constitutes an emerging and challenging area of applied research and advanced technologies. There is a strong need to develop and modify existing techniques for the analysis of CH with requirement of high accuracy, micro- or non-destructive procedures as well as to develop new diagnostic tools.
The Project will develop a new measurement system for the automatic detection of collagen shrinkage activity (imageMHT) and an intelligent system for the analysis and diagnosis of collagen-based materials (CLEAR system). To this end the Project will also develop a database (thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy, unilateral nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electronic miscroscopy and thermal microscopy data) for new, artificially aged and historical collagen artefacts. It will take advantage of the assessment and diagnostic methodologies delivered by the Partners in earlier projects to develop measurement procedures enabling inter-laboratory comparison and elaborate quantitative protocols for the assessment of damage.
The Project promotes interdisciplinary collaboration (engineering, information technology, conservation science) aiming to bridge the gap between the research achievements and CH applications. Its comprehensive aim is to generate a new impact in conservation practice (through user-friendly, faster and more realiable measurements and automatic diagnosis of damage), conservation management (by facilitating management and resources and enabling stewardship practices according the energy saving requirements) and in technology (by developing new intelligent systems that could become standard tools in CH applications). The social-economical competitiveness will be secured by delivering a new measurement system and IT tools for the CH professionals as well as patents with potential commercial spin-off and by ensuring the sustainability of collagen artefacts preservation.
