The age of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has arrived, bringing with it numerous opportunities across key industries, including healthcare, banking, and retail. Recent studies indicate that AI has the potential to increase global GDP by EUR14.03 trillion by 2030. However, the effectiveness of AI systems has thus far been limited by a lack of access to high-quality data without infringing on privacy rights. Poor data quality—characterized by incompleteness, inaccuracies, outdated information, or irrelevance—can lead to biased predictions and erroneous decisions, affecting up to 80% of AI projects. To address these issues, synthetic data has emerged as a potential solution. Synthetic data is artificially generated information that mirrors the statistical properties of real-world data. This data can be freely processed and used in AI model development without risking privacy breaches. However, until synthetic data can overcome its current limitations, its use remains restricted. These limitations include avoiding biases present in the original data, generating synthetic data that mimics very complex relational databases, and effectively satisfying deterministic rules. At Aindo, we have developed SyDAi, a novel synthetic data platform that empowers companies to generate high-quality and high-privacy synthetic data. This breakthrough aims to democratize and accelerate AI innovation, enabling all industries to actively participate in the AI revolution. Unlike many existing solutions that focus on specific data types or lack the ability to handle certain statistical dependencies, our platform can generate synthetic data with advanced data formats. The innovation of this innovation has recently led to SyDAi being recognized independently by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as best-in-class for optimizing the privacy-fidelity trade-off.

NEXTFLOAT aims at reducing the LCOE and increase the competitiveness of floating offshore wind (FOW) to accelerate large-scale deployment. The project will demonstrate an integrated system composed of X1’s lightweight floating platform with its proprietary PivotBuoy connection system – a novel design for offshore wind platforms that optimizes the structural design, reduces weight of the structure and greatly improves mooring and installation techniques and costs – and 2BE’s 2-bladed downwind turbine – an advanced rotor that requires less material, fewer components, reduced capital and operational costs and improved environmental benefits. The project also proposes innovations to bring cost-efficiency improvements to the dynamic cable by using aluminium as a conductor material. This innovative concept will be demonstrated in MISTRAL site in the Mediterranean Sea. The design of a 14MW fully integrated system will be developed with a strong focus on optimizing the technological solutions for deep waters and making it suitable for different EU offshore sites. In parallel, this design will take into account mass production and large-scale deployment as key elements to make floating offshore wind a competitive renewable energy source. The project will develop an industrialization roadmap for this FOW concept, in order to facilitate the mass production. Finally, NEXTFLOAT will define a commercial plan for future large-scale deployment that integrates cross-cutting aspects to ensure a sustainable replication based on the analysis of costs, life cycle assessment and socio-economic factors.

12-20% of the global population suffer from chronic allergic rhinitis (CAR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Nonadherence to medication is 85% in AR and around 50% in respiratory care globally. Moreover 20-25% of these patients do not respond to the proposed drugs. The main alternatives are invasive, especially surgery, inducing irreversible damages. 80% of the patients decline it. There is an urgent need for new minimally invasive alternatives. At Dianosic, we developed a patented Active Resorbable Intranasal Scaffold, ARIS, delivering a steroid in a targeted manner, maximizing patient compliance (insert and forget approach). It is an in-office, easy procedure under local anesthesia. It does not require a surgical intervention. With a single administration, the low-dose steroid is gradually released over 6 months (ARIS-R for CAR) to 12 months (ARIS-S for CRS), providing a sustained, long-term relief. During the project, we will conduct a Phase III clinical trial for ARIS-R to obtain market approval. We will also engage in Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) activities for both ARIS-R and ARIS-S. Furthermore we will explore additional nose-to-brain indications (schizophrenia, Parkinson) for the ARIS platform.

The advent of plastics to society has entailed a global dependence on this material. Special attention should be paid to nanoplastics, which are present in bottled drinking water due to weathering during usage. From a scientific point of view, it is important to get an insight into the risks that nanoplastics may bring to human health. Analytical Chemistry is called to provide a response to this actual problem with new methodologies to characterise nanoplastics that are released to water from commercial bottles. The main goal of CE4Plastics project is to advance the-state-of-the-art methods for identification and quantification of nanoplastics released to drinking water from single-use and reusable plastic bottles in the short and long-term and raise awareness in the population about nanoplastic risks. The feasibility of capillary electrophoresis to characterise nanoplastic particles will be investigated. Next, bottle weathering during normal usage and its implications in nanoplastic release to bottled water will be assessed. The project will be carried out at Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), in Belgium, with an European researcher resuming his path in research and innovation. CE4Plastics will give him an excellent opportunity to be engaged in a wide range of transferable and scientific skills and to lead a necessary breakthrough to promote nanoplastic separation, quantification and position himself as a leading researcher in the future.

The Doctoral Network CAARE - “Characterization and Recovery of Bionanoparticles for Vaccine Delivery and Gene Therapy” focuses on a rapidly emerging field in biopharmaceutical industry and a new class of molecules, the bionanoparticles. Bionanoparticles are currently used as conventional vaccines, mRNA vaccines or gene therapy. These new biopharmaceuticals will satisfy an urgent medical need as they might extend the curability of to-date non-curable diseases and offer treatment for rare diseases. However, the impact of the manufacturing process for such therapies on the final product quality and consequently on product efficacy and patient safety is still not fully understood. There also is a lack of specifically trained personnel in the field of bionanoparticles. In CAARE we will develop new and intensified downstream processes and analytical tools, which are essential to obtain a pure therapeutic product and to ensure the efficacy and safety of the therapy. acib GmbH (AT), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Hamburg and University of Erlangen (all DE), Institute of Experimental Biology and Technology (PT), Leiden University Medical Centre (NL), and Icosagen (EE), seven associated industry partners, two associated universities and one regulatory agency have formed a consortium to train 14 doctoral candidates with beyond state-of-the art bioprocess and analytical skills directed for bionanoparticle purification. Latest technology of process control and monitoring for advanced bionanoparticle processing, downstream process development and particle characterization of bionanoparticles will be taught. The appropriate skills to communicate the research outcome to the scientific community and to the general public are included in the training program. We will establish a new training creating a generation of scientists that can contribute to the establishment of technologies/methodologies in a rapidly emerging field in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

RebYouth main objective is to explore an entirely new area of research by focusing on the largely overlooked histories of Women*, Queer, Black and People of Colour (W*-Q-BPoC) in rebellious, dissident youth movements and alternative music cultures from the late 1970s of late state socialism to the early 1990s in Poland. The focus is on cultural heritage, dissident/cultural practices, infrastructures of support and collisions with dominant social, cultural and political regimes. Objectives are the: 1) Mapping of W*-Q-BPoC dissidence history and cultural heritage with focus on music in the broader context of independent culture. 2) Exploring public and private archives. 3) Capturing and analyzing life time biographies and oral history accounts of W*-Q-BPoC actors. 4) Empowering W*-Q-BPoC through inclusion into contemporary historical discourses and memory practices. 5) Analysing intersectional dissidence and collisions of sensible orders and developing a concept of intersectional critique. 6) investigating infrastructures of support. 7) Mapping and analyzing international connections, transfer and migration. The main empirical research methods include research in private and public archives and qualitative interviews - with a series of life history interviews tracing selected biographies in changing socio-political contexts and during migration. The mapping of projects, people, crews, networks, events and artefacts will be an ongoing process resulting in visual maps. Based on a cross-cutting analysis of biographies, infrastructures of support, and social positioning situational maps will be created.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, now afflict close to 1/250 individuals in industrialized societies. There is a pressing need for effective preventive means as well as curative drugs. Cis-eQTL analyses are uncovering a growing list of genes that are perturbed by IBD risk variants detected by GWAS, constituting a list of prime drug targets for the pharmaceutical industry. Cis-eQTL effects trigger downstream effects – both within the same (intracellular) and other cell types (intercellular) – that culminate in disease declaration. Some of these downstream effects are accompanied by changes in transcript levels referred to as trans-eQTL effects. The aim of the TRIQ project is to take advantage of the CEDAR-II dataset – transcriptome data for up to 400 individuals in > 75 IBD-relevant cell types – to identify trans-eQTL effects that mediate IBD predisposition. The genes that are perturbed by these trans-effect will include druggable targets that constitute prime targets for the development of new IBD therapies.
