The objective of this project is the design, manufacture and power on of a flexible and complete test rig for the on ground complete evaluation and validation of electromechanical actuators (EMA) and corresponding control units that will equip the control surfaces of the wings of the Clean Sky 2 Regional FTB2 demonstrator (A/C). The test rig will allow an on ground complete testing under realistic flight conditions, in terms of mechanical performance, performance of EMA control systems, and EMA electrical consumption and its impact in the A/C electrical network. Additionally for the aileron, the impacts of the combined actuation EMA/HA will be considered. Test rig will be composed of three double test benches (left and right wings) to target every A/C control surface (aileron, spoiler, flap-tab, and winglet tab). Flap and winglet tabs EMAs will share the same test bench. Test benches and control system will be designed in a modular way to ease their integration into a complete test rig. Two operation modes will be implemented to maximize the number of testing analysis. In the stand-alone mode, test benches will be connected to industrial power supplies (270 VDV and 28 VDC). In the integrated mode, the test rig will be connected to a representative and existing A/C electrical generation and distribution rig. The control system will generate representative equivalent antagonist loads corresponding to real flight conditions. In integrated model, the control system will have the capability of implementing A/C model simulation or receive corresponding load parameters from external A/C model simulations. Antagonist loads will be applied by means of a rig of hydraulic servo-actuators connected to an existing hydraulic supply. Mechanical links and interfaces will be representative of the real A/C equipment. A complete documentation (user manuals, electrical drawings, mechanical designs, open software code, etc.) will be also delivered to the topic manager.

This multidisciplinary network entitled: “Magnetics and Microhydrodynamics - from guided transport to delivery” (MaMi) bridges the research fields of fluidics and magnetism, by taking advantage of magnetic forces to control local flows and cargo transport inspired by biomimetic systems. Using magnetic sources, as well as high magnetic susceptibility liquids or nanostructures, devices with unique anti-fouling properties and non-slip boundary conditions can be realized. Our scientific aim is to take advantage of such unique wall-less properties to create new applications of microfluidic technology for life sciences. The network assembles and interdisciplinary team of seven academic and five non-academic partners, exposes all students to industrial environments, and ensures training at the frontiers of two well-established research fields, which are not commonly associated. Over the course of their projects, early stage researchers based in academic institutions will experience working environments in at least 3 different countries. Training a new generation of researchers will bring new cutting-edge knowledge, and will ensure a high potential for industrial applications to promote EU leadership.

OPeRATOR project will develop the capability to analyse a digitally operational, virtually integrated aircraft with respect to realistic operational scenarios. Systems and propulsion have become some of key contributors to meeting the Flight Path 2050 goals, introducing radically new approaches to aircraft design, the integration of new technologies and further optimization of aircraft operations. The key objective of OPeRATOR is to develop modelling and simulation technologies that enable virtual validation of such technologies under highly representative operation conditions. To this end, OPeRATOR will develop a Software library that is able to (1) make a virtually integrated aircraft model fly by appropriately integrating flight physical aspects, (2) virtually operate it in a realistically modelled environment and (3) to enable the analysis of over-all and individual system behaviour during user-specified virtual missions. The software library will be implemented in the Modelica language and capabilities will be provided to interface the models developed into other analysis tools. OPeRATOR is a mono-partner proposed by DLR (DE), who has been contributing in this field and is keen to bring its competences and expertise with multi-disciplinary flight physics and systems modelling, Modelica library and language development, the Functional Mock-up Interface standard, as well as realistic mission simulation for aircraft over-all design to the project.

The biomedical research is the key to reduce disease burden, and yields economic returns both through improved health gains (a healthy workforce) and through commercial exploitation of research outputs. The increasing disease burden has propelled the pharmaceutical industry to bring up new chemical entities into the market at a higher rate, increasing the number of clinical trials and generating huge quantum of clinical data. As a result, clinical trials are becoming increasingly complex, due the use of multiple data capture modalities (paper and pencil or/and Electronic Data Capture systems (EDC)), which require long implementation time, maintenance, upgrades and high economic investment, the need to evaluate more study endpoints and regulatory compliance with Medical Agencies and the growing number of stakeholders participating in the study. With CLINICOVERY, we will contribute to promote biomedical research in all the target sectors (Public and private) providing a versatile, regulatory compliance (FDA and EMA) cloud based platform that will reduce the implementation time (99%less) and costs (monitoring, price, travels, administrative expenses) and provides the capability to manage a huge and complicate data in large and international clinical trials to reach a faster market approval. Moreover, will be the unique platform in the market that contains a system to detect physiological patient data which gives advance warning of an adverse effect. The exploitation of the CLINICOVERY project will reach the EU countries, as the second region performing more clinical trials and then the Asia Pacific region, with the highest market growth (CAGR around 16% between 2015-2020) and US. In this way, the CLINICOVERY project will not only have a remarkable economic impact on our company (obtaining €7.33 million accumulative profit and ROI of 4.2 and create at least 45 new jobs by 2024), but will also contribute to increase our international presence, by targeting new markets.

European regionalisms did not emerge in isolation. Quite the contrary: the affirmation of regional identities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – e.g., in Catalonia, Galicia, Occitania, Brittany, Wallonia and Flanders – involved a striking intensification of transfers in the fields of art and literature. Yet these transregional dynamics have largely been ignored by cultural historians and relegated to the footnotes of transnational history. TRANSREGIONS pursues three goals: (1) to lay bare the emergence of transregional networks by following their key mediators and retracing inter-peripheral transfer activities at different phases of regional identity building, (2) to offer a reproducible model for the study of cultural emergence and multiscale cross-border phenomena, and (3) to set the first decisive steps toward the writing of an entangled history of European regional movements, offering an alternative and decentralized perspective that highlights the role of minorized cultures and agents against dominant, national and monolingual historiographical models. These goals will be achieved with an innovative gender-inclusive, agent- and process- oriented method, involving the use of new digital tools, that will be applied to a hitherto unexplored corpus of journals. The interdisciplinary combination of data mining, social network analysis and complexity theory will highlight unexpected cultural practices and connections and bring new insights to the fields of regionalism studies, global history and translation studies. At a wider societal level, TRANSREGIONS will provide food for thought in the context of the current push for regionalization challenging the Europe of Nations. From a personal perspective, this MSCA-IF will significantly contribute to my development as a strong, versatile and independent researcher in the fields of translation studies and global cultural history.

Classical anchoring solutions are inappropriate for the development of new marine renewable energy devices (wind/waves/tides). They are too expensive and not efficient. Organising devices in arrays is a solution where adjacent devices share an anchor. It reduces the total number of anchors necessary and the overall cost. In turn the loading applied to an anchor is a complex combination of horizontal and uplift cyclic loads. Screw anchors are piles which are fitted with one or several helices at their end. They are installed into the soil by applying a torque and are assumed to have an excellent resistance against uplifting. The objective of this work is to study the fundamental behaviour of screw anchors upon complex loading in sand. A unique database of physical modelling tests (using cutting edge centrifuge apparatus) representative of small arrays of devices will be developed. In particular the tests will assess their uplift capacity after low level cyclic loading (fatigue behaviour). Numerical simulations, validated against experimental results, will provide additional information. Finally a new design methodology taking into account multi-directional and fatigue loading will be derived. This comprehensive topic has never been investigated before in sand. The University of Dundee offers cutting edge centrifuge facilities and has an outstanding experience in physical modelling. A designed experimental set-up is able to install screw piles in flight and apply a multi-directional loading. I will build on my strong background in numerical modelling to carry out the numerical part of the project. EU targets the ambitious objective to derive 20% of its electricity production from renewable sources by 2020. The energy revolution has just started and should generate many jobs and investments in Europe. This project will clear technical and economical hurdles associated with anchoring. It will improve competitiveness and leadership of EU on the renewable energy market.

Climate change is driving many species to migrate along the altitudinal gradient of mountainous landscapes. While the impacts of temperature shifts on range expansion are well established, the effects of altitude-related hypoxia on the ability of organisms to colonize and adapt to higher altitudes during warming have, to our knowledge, not received scientific interest. Specifically, the short, medium and long term effects of acute and chronic hypoxia on the growth, survival, reproductive biology and colonization dynamics of animals reaching higher altitude refuges remain unknown. PODARCIS will generate such knowledge, via a detailed study of physiological responses to hypoxia across an altitudinal gradient in a species that undergoes upward range expansion, the wall lizard Podarcis muralis. PODARCIS will (1) assess multivariate acclimation responses in embryos and adult lizards from low to high altitude using common garden and reciprocal transplant experiments (i.e. to assess the effectiveness for plastic responses to enable colonization and detect changes in the degree of plasticity across the altitudinal gradient) and (2) predict the dynamics of colonization by integrating data on physiological plasticity, reproductive output and dispersal. Taken together, this project will combine hard-to-obtain empirical data with theoretical modeling approaches to provide valuable insights into the ecological and evolutionary processes that determine a species' response to climate change. PODARCIS requires a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from the fields of physiology, quantitative genetics, evolutionary theory, and computer modeling. The synergistic skill sets brought to this project by the fellow and the mentor scientist will allow an important cross-continental exchange of ideas and approaches. Furthermore, this project will offer the fellow a unique opportunity to develop new talents that will significantly enhance his career trajectory as an independent researcher.

Scattering amplitudes, describing the observations of high-energy collider experiments, provide a window into the fundamental structures predicted by relativistic quantum theories. By identifying and exploiting seemingly disparate concepts from abstract geometry, symbolic big data, and phenomenological calculations, the SAGEX network will train the next generation of researchers in the new tools, approaches and insights that will make possible previously intractable analyses directly relevant to current and near-future particle physics experiments. Assembling an unprecedented team of top scholars in mathematics, theoretical physics, and symbolic computation with major industry partners including Wolfram Research, Maplesoft, and RISC GmbH, we intend to leverage our successes, expertise, and world-class scientific challenges to provide a unique training opportunity for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in Europe. Training of the network's ESRs will comprise an integrated curriculum of local and intensive network courses, schools, and engagement with active cutting-edge research. They will be seconded to at least one academic and one private sector partner of the project, building bridges between academic and industrial communities. SAGEX is set up to integrate several existing and highly recognised annual conferences with a series of new schools, workshops and industry partnerships. Through developing invaluable analytic, computational and soft skills, the ESRs emerging from this action will be eminently employable with the potential to become the next generation of European leaders in academia, industry, and the public sector. Finally, the training we offer, and the research carried out, will be made open and available, boosting not only Europe's continued leadership in the field of high-energy theoretical physics, but strategically allowing non-partner institutions with less domain experience to train scholars in relevant, in-demand skills.
