Understanding the logics of obtaining, managing and perceiving of local natural resources, particularly plants, is crucial for ensuring sustainability of human life, as the use of plants is a key for survival of humans. The proposed research will create an advanced understanding of the mechanisms of changes in ethnobotanical knowledge experienced by traditional societies/minor ethnic groups when dominating group try to unify and/or erode this practical knowledge. It will also evaluate the effects of the sudden cease to existence of such centralization and following impact of the trial of revival of discontinued traditional etnobotanical knowledge. Research will evaluate the effect of several social and cultural factors on the evolution of ethnobotanical knowledge of four compact, but divided ethnic minorities that had experienced for shorter (25 years) or longer (70 years) period different influences affecting their plant use and very different social conditions (including welfare and economy). As a long-term outcome, based on the result of present and consequent studies scientists will be able to predict the extent and depth of the changes occurring in the ethnobotanical knowledge and as a applied outcome learn to direct and educate people in the way that the knowledge necessary for sustainable maintenance and utilization of local plant resources will be constantly evolving in the way supporting health and well-being of different populations.

Handfleet is a Spanish company specialized in fuel anti-theft systems. It’s formed by a group of professionals with an important entrepreneur track record with a broad experience in deploying and installing technological solutions for trucks. At current, fuel theft is a first level concern for the road goods transport. It creates insecurity to drivers, it implies damages to trucks that in many occasions are left out of service, and it supposes important economic losses for the sector, and it suppose a €20 B problem in the world. Present solutions fail to deliver an always on system that avoid material losses for the vehicles. To address this situation, we have designed TSS (Truck Safe Services), a fuel theft prevention system for large vehicles that detects robberies before any fuel is stolen. It is protected by Patent 201730081 and includes smart sensors that can distinguish any vibration produced at any attempt of smuggling from the vibrations produced during the normal operation of the vehicle. It detects fuel theft even if it’s internal fraud. It can work as an autonomous Fleet Management System (FMS) or as an add-on of an existing one. TSS offers the following Unique Selling Points USPs: • It can prevent fuel theft attacks in all the situations of the trucks working cycle • It can prevent internal fraud • It can detect theft attempts before they occur avoiding material damages in the trucks We will focus initially our effort in EU market where road goods transport activity has 315,948 M€ of turnover and is responsible of the creation of 2,892.2 million of jobs in this continent. And we will expand our activity later to other continents and to other sectors (passenger transport, agriculture, sail, etc.). Our first estimations show that this platform will require an investment of 1.6 M euros, it would imply the creation of 18 jobs and a ROI of 11.3 in the first three years with full version working.

Sustainable growth in rice production worldwide is needed to ensure food security, maintain human health, and sustain the livelihoods of millions of small farmers. Rice is a major staple crop for nearly half of the world’s population and is grown on approximately 160.6 million hectares, with almost a billion households depending on its cultivation for their primary source of income and employment. However current milling and separation processes in small-scale mills are too aggressive and energy intensive. In smaller, traditional mills, a farmer can lose between 50-70% yield in broken rice as a result of poor drying, high pressure milling, excessive handling and destructive high energy processes designed to separate the rice grain from the bran and husk. Koolmill Systems will address this need by increasing the quantity, quality and value of the rice yield and by-products; supporting small farming communities and socio-economic growth. The patented technology will be a two-stage process that will eliminate waste with minimal brokens, and produce high quality bran and husk by-products. The aim being to achieve reduction in brokens and optimise the production of high nutrition bran, which then can be reprocessed and sold into the food manufacturing supply chain for high carbohydrate and protein rich diets. In Phase 1 we intend to confirm the feasibility of developing the grain separation technology that can achieve significant processing and cost benefits in the rice processing supply chain; prepare a product development plan that will lead to the manufacture of a full milling system; complete a business plan covering all aspects of the commercial opportunity, pricing, market size, competition and route to market; and submit an application for Phase 2 funding.

The last twenty years has seen a huge improvement in the quality of images produced by commercial visual display units. Nevertheless, they still do not fully recreate the range of sensations we experience during natural vision. We have designed a prototype visual display that will allow us to take advantage of recent developments in visual neurophysiology to address that limitation. We request funds to construct this prototype and explore its performance as a necessary proof of concept for its commercialisation.

HiReach aims to eliminate transport poverty by triggering new mobility solutions sustained by products scaling up on mixed needs, backed by mobile information technologies and social innovations, using open tools, technology transfer and startup development techniques to find and exploit new business ideas that reach low accessibility social groups and areas. HiReach builds on the potential of bundling and mixing dispersed, special and non-coordinated/optimised trip requests and needs from different vulnerable user groups to favour inclusive and participated vs. exclusive/special and geographically-limited mobility. By combining different attributes of available transport concepts and bottom-up initiatives with new operational schemes and IT applications, HiReach will explore viable business models for small scale, modular and easily replicable mobility services (e.g. community transport services, ridesharing, minibus pooling, etc.) that can be provided at affordable prices and/or with minimum subsidies. HiReach fosters social innovation processes through an in depth (micro)analysis of capabilities and attitudes of different social groups and their direct involvement as co-users and co-owners of the proposed solutions. Their involvement will be put in relation with the HiReach mechanism for exploring, generating and testing new solutions which is based on the creative work of startups and innovative entrepreneurs. To secure the validation and scaling-up of new business models, HiReach will provide open source tools, guidance and targeted funding to developers as well as testbeds for new inclusive mobility solutions jointly prepared by startups, policy makers and local communities. The legislative and regulative adaptation of newly developed collaborative economy solutions will be also assessed in order to find the right balance between peer-to-peer/self-produced vs commercially operated services, including the role of marketplace providers.

Modern factories are unnecessarily inefficient. A typical factory operates at only 66% productivity , which can cost industrial manufacturers an estimated $50 billion annually. Factories are wasting energy, water and raw materials, while simultaneously contributing 56% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With the rise of Industry 4.0, factory owners have begun equipping their facilities with sensors to collect production data across all kinds of assets. Unfortunately, these same factories are not prepared to utilize these massive amounts of data for smarter and sustainable operations and hence manual analysis is impossible. Modern factories need a solution which can easily integrate with their existing data acquisition systems and identify bottlenecks in the production process without requiring expert intervention. Intelecy is a web-based software product for predictive analytics and process optimization made specifically to harness the value of industrial IoT data for manufacturers. Created in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2017. Intelecy is an off-the-shelf advanced AI SaaS tool for manufacturing data analytics. At Intelecy’s core operates an extensive library of machine learning algorithms specialized for industrial multivariate asynchronous time series data. We have purchased these algorithms from NTNU, making them our unique and exclusive property which cannot be easily replicated by anyone else. for successful commercialization, we must create market awareness, analyze competition, and invest money in maturation of Intelecy. By achieving these objectives, Intelecy will generate revenue of 471 million euros and 450 new jobs by 2025.

PJ19 W2 CI is a transversal activity of the SESAR 2020 Programme in continuation of the SESAR Wave 1 PJ19 CI Content Integration project. It aims to integrate the SESAR Solutions into the integrated European ATM System in order to achieve the objectives set by the ATM Master Plan (MP). This integrated European ATM System provides the overall European ATM concept, the high-level architecture options, the services, the supporting solutions, and the performance achievements associated with them. As such, PJ.19 W2 does not create any specific ATM concept or solution but produces a set of deliverables which consolidate the SESAR 2020 Programme outcomes and provides yearly integrated reference material – the SESAR 2020 Architecture release (EATMA version) . This is done in close collaboration and coordination with all SESAR 2020 Solutions and the SJU through continuous, rolling and iterative content integration. PJ19-W2 allows the assessment of the overall performance of the SESAR Solutions compared with the performance improvements expected for the European ATM. Whilst the decisions are made by SJU management and SESAR governance, PJ.19 W2 activities support and guide the processes (e.g. safety, security assessment, human performance, performance assessment, cost benefit analysis (CBA), architecture, requirements) to bring the SESAR Solutions together and assess their maturity (completeness, consistency and coherency) from a holistic perspective represented in the SESAR 2020 Concept of Operations. The PJ.19 W2 activities provide major inputs for the ATM MP production (ATM architecture information (e.g. data set), performance and CBA consolidation, business case production), which are further consolidated at the time of the ATM MP update campaign by the PJ.20 W2 ‘Master Planning’ project). PJ19-W2 provides support for the SJU/SESAR governance decision-making and programme execution monitoring and also contributes to the realisation of the ATM MP.
