The CRIMSON project will bring to market a reliable, sustainable, marine energy turbine, and is underpinned by the application of novel materials and an advanced manufacturing process. The key driver for this project is the global potential to generate 120GW of clean, predictable electricity from the kinetic marine energy in rivers and tidal currents. CRIMSON will provide high-performance, low-cost, and scalable marine hydrokinetic (MHK) power systems to the market using manufacturing techniques suitable for high-volume manufacturing with composite materials. The immediate impact of this disruptive technology will be to demonstrate the technical and commercial potential of harnessing marine hydrokinetic energy; the longer term impact will be to reduce the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for the European citizen – the ultimate beneficiary of this innovation. CRIMSON will also deliver significant positive impacts in terms of industry/EU competitiveness and scalable company growth in revenue & jobs (€300m of revenues & over 200 jobs by 2026). This ambitious project is led by ÉireComposites, an established industry player in composites manufacturing for the Aerospace and Renewable Energy sectors and an experienced FP7/Horizon 2020 participant, who will coordinate the project and manufacture the rotating turbine structure. Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC), a leading marine energy OEM and technology end-user, is the second industry partner. ORPC has already invested substantial funds (in excess of €100m) in the commercialisation of marine energy and is determined to become a global leader in the sector. Their adoption of the CRIMSON technology will demonstrate its early market acceptance. To achieve the goals of CRIMSON, the project will be supported by a materials specialist (Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials), a testing partner (CNR, the Italian National Research Council) and an academic partner (National University of Ireland Galway).

1. Currently indium-tin-oxide (ITO) is the standard material for the mobile device displays industry, with an annual production over 25.000 m2. 2. The industry, together with Research & Science institutions, is looking for substitute materials for ITO, in the search for better performance, flexible displays and to satisfy the market growth of the coming years in mobile devices. 3. Graphene and other thin film materials are the most promising candidates to revolutionize the display industry. 4. The lack of agility of current inspection and characterization methods makes difficult the establishment of efficient quality control processes, hindering the production of thin films on a large scale and in a cost effective way. 5. In order to speed-up the development of those new materials, a real-time and full fabricated area characterization system is needed. 6. In this framework, das-nano has developed an innovative characterization tool (ONYX Graphene & Thin Film Quality Inspector) which will allow screen manufacturers to speed up the development process of the new materials, bringing graphene and thin films production to industrial readiness, to unlock the next era of consumer electronic technology. Das-Nano’s Onyx provides an increment of up to 100x in the speed of the characterization process during the research and development stage thus allowing a huge reduction in the time to market. Onyx will also be ready for the on-line manufacturing process control in the display industry when those materials will reach the industrial stage.

The aim is to explore and develop an integrated ICT solution to support the development of an electricity local market place and innovative business models, including operational methods to encourage micro-generation with renewable resources and participation of consumers and prosumers. The creation of incentives for all players would allow for exploiting the latent flexibility of the user-side of the electricity distribution net. This would greatly enhance the benefits of distributed renewable resources and enhance the impact and sustainability of demand-response programs. A local electricity market approach supported by innovative ICT platforms can operate effectively in a synchronized way with the overall energy system and market. The solution will create a shared engagement of local supply alleviating the traditional DSO’s need to invest in centralized sourcing. The proposal’s integrated ICT real-time platform would be able to manage trading, metering and management of electricity flow according to the transactions completed within the local market and beyond its boundaries. EMPOWER follows a micro-grid approach where energy flow is controlled by devices that are managed by a cloud-based management module. The management module also supports the trading that is handled by customizable software agents. Aggregation of contributions from the user community, metering, credit assignments, predictions and strategy maintenance would be aligned to different business models. A real-time communication module links the management part with the micro-grid control and household devices assigned to an integrated demand-response regime. EMPOWER will be tested at three representative locations across Europe, to prove that a ICT-supported local market approach would be accepted by consumers and prosumers, ensuring the required engagement and benefits to establish a highly efficient self-adaptive market solution able to balance supply and demand effectively at local level.

AWESOME network aims to educate eleven young researchers in the wind power operation and maintenance (O&M) field by constructing a sustainable training network gathering the whole innovation value chain. The main EU actors in the field of wind O&M have worked together, under the umbrella of the European Wind Energy Academy (EAWE), in order to design a training program coping with the principal R&D challenges related to wind O&M while tackling the shortage of highly-skilled professionals on this area that has been foreseen by the European Commission, the wind energy industrial sector and the academia. The overall AWESOME research programme tackles the main research challenges in the wind O&M field identified by the European wind academic and industrial community: (1) to develop better O&M planning methodologies of wind farms for maximizing its revenue, (2) to optimise the maintenance of wind turbines by prognosis of component failures and (3) to develop new and better cost-effective strategies for Wind Energy O&M. These main goals have been divided into eleven specific objectives, which will be assigned to the fellows, for them to focus their R&D project, PhD Thesis and professional career. The established training plan answers the challenges identified by the SET Plan Education Roadmap. Personal Development Career Plans will be tuned up for every fellow, being their accomplishment controlled by a Personal Supervisory Team. The training plan includes intra-network activities, as well as network-wide initiatives. The secondments at partner organizations and between beneficiaries are a key attribute of the training programme. Each fellow will be exposed to three different research environments from both, academic and industrial spheres. All the network activities will be developed in accordance with the established in the Ethical Codes and Standards for research careers development, looking therefore for talent, excellence and opportunity equality.

Data Centres (DC) consume 1.1–1.5% of the world's total energy and have one of the fastest-growing carbon footprints. The EU aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% and improve energy efficiency by 32.5% by 2030. Almost 100% of the energy consumed by a DC server is converted to heat, which is dumped into the environment surrounding a DC. Integration of two-phase cooling solutions designed around waste heat recovery is required to improve DC energy efficiency and performance. An attractive two-phase solution for cooling and waste heat recovery for DCs is loop heat pipes (LHP). A LHP is a highly-efficient heat transportation device. It enables long-distance, low-thermal resistance transport of thermal energy by utilising the latent heat associated with phase change and requires no energy for operation. The novel objectives for this Fellowship are: (i) Development of an original multi-scale porous structure. This structure will create a high-performance fluid transport and evaporative surface at the core of the LHP. It will be fabricated by electrodeposition of copper into a close packing of different sized polymer spheres. The packing arrangement will be guided by numerical modelling and an optimisation algorithm. (ii) Fabrication of a high-performance LHP that is beyond the current state-of-the-art to dissipate and transport the necessary power of next-generation integrated circuits for DC applications. (iii) Characterisation of LHP and waste heat recovery technologies to increase DC performance while reducing carbon emissions. The developed LHP will be tested with Thermoelectric Generator technology to provide direct electrical generation at the server level. The outcomes of this project are the development of innovative waste heat transportation and conversion solutions for DC applications to increase performance and efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint. The Persoons group and I have the combined tools and expertise to achieve this.

Effective humanitarian programs are predicated on a detailed and accurate understanding of what is happening on the ground. So often, however, humanitarian organizations do not have access to such information, and they lack the in-house capacity to conduct empirical research in conflict-affected areas. This gap—between generating scientifically grounded knowledge and engaging in humanitarian action— results in programs that are ineffective or misaligned with the needs of crisis-affected populations on the ground. The proposed project Leave No One Behind will bridge this gap by bringing together an academic researcher with a non-governmental humanitarian organization to conduct research primarily on a vulnerable population-- adolescent girls—who are living in protracted displacement and fragile environments. Leave No One Behind seeks to answer the following overarching research questions using quantitative and qualitative methodologies 1) What are the push and pull factors for early marriage in fragile environments and what are potential local solutions to decrease this practice? 2) What are the decision-making processes of refugee families with adolescents and unaccompanied minors who seek to integrate locally or return to their country of origin and what could support durable solutions? The research will be conducted in the Sahel region of Africa and Lebanon with the support of the host organization that currently has a presence in both regions. Leave No One Behind represents an applied research, based on identified needs, that will generate recommendations that are immediately actionable by the host organization, as well as local and international organizations involved in humanitarian action, advocacy, and policy. Beyond the actual research project, Leave No One Behind comprises a host of skills and continuous knowledge transfers between the researcher and the organization throughout the fellowship including two-way trainings, workshops, and regular consultation

SIVIDON established a prototype diagnostic assay - the ChemoPredict test - to stratify high-risk breast cancer patients and to help in deciding whether to treat the patient with standard anthracycline-based chemotherapy without taxane or taxane-containing regimens. ChemoPredict was clinically validated in a large clinical phase III trial (FinHer) with 919 patients using a prospective-retrospective approach. The existing training and validation studies of ChemoPredict provided evidence that the assay can reduce the number of taxane-based chemotherapies within the test’s target group by about 50% without impairment of outcome of the patients. Thus, the use of the assay in breast cancer care will result in a more specific use of taxanes and a reduction of overtreatment thus avoiding serious side effects in patients and saving costs for the health care system. SIVIDON’s aim for the overall innovation project is to extend clinical and analytical validation data, to develop ChemoPredict as a CE-marked IVD test according to IVD directive 98/79/EC and to bring this test as a tool for personalized medicine into the European market. The objective of the feasibility study is to generate an elaborated business plan including detailed market analyses for ChemoPredict. Several key opinion leaders will be interviewed to get their perspective on the application, the inclusion into clinical guidelines and market entrance of the innovative predictive test. Phase I will be also used to decide on an extended clinical validation strategy to ensure that the ChemoPredict assay exhibits the highest clinical evidence level. Advisory boards will be initiated, opportunities for entering clinical guidelines will be judged and reimbursement concepts in European countries will be assessed. Regulatory issues will be comprehensively evaluated to decide on the best product development strategy, a detailed product development plan will be generated and phase 0 development strategies will be started.

Many countries in Western Europe have large and growing populations of older Turkish migrants. Turkish migrants tend to have relatively poor later-life outcomes in a broad range of areas. Efforts to improve the ways in which Turkish migrants age may be hampered by a lack of knowledge, given the limited attention to ageing in the study of immigrants and to immigrants in the study of ageing. Rowe and Kahn’s model of successful ageing (SA), which has for decades been presented as a benchmark of how people should ideally become older, may be of limited use for the case of older Turkish migrants, given the plausibly specific ageing preferences of this group, the fact that risk factors for adverse later-life outcomes may be different for migrants than for non-migrants, and the fact that migrants may be confronted with specific challenges, such as discriminatory practices. A redefined model of ageing well is therefore called for. The envisaged project will contribute to this through the pursuit of three sets of specific research objectives: 1. To provide insights (a) in the perceptions of SA held by older Turkish migrants, (b) in potential differences between these perceptions and the views of older non-migrants, and (c) in variation by gender in these views. 2. To assess (a) whether the impact of particular socio-demographic factors on (dimensions of) SA differs between older Turkish migrants and older non-migrants, and (b) whether differences by migrant status are gendered. 3. To explain variation within the group of older Turkish migrants on (dimensions of) SA. To achieve these goals, multiple data sources with complementary strengths will be analysed, and innovative statistical techniques, such as factorial design experiments, fixed effects regression and instrumental variable estimation, will be used. Three destination countries will be considered to gain a broad understanding of the ageing experiences of older Turkish migrants: Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway.
