Composites are extensively used in many industrial applications, primarily in Transport. A technological sector dealing with composite repair solutions has emerged, now expanding proportionally to the extension of composites applications. GMI is a leading SME in this sector since 25 years, developing equipment for composite manufacturing, maintenance and repair. To ensure excellence, during the last 15 years GMI has invested in participating to several EU co-funded R&D Projects, focusing on the development of innovative composite repair solutions. As a result, today GMI possesses in its portfolio innovations deriving from more than 15 R&D projects, focusing in composite repair: Advanced heating solutions for curing of complicated aircraft composite repairs, Repair application equipment, for high performance adhesive bonding and Smart patches enabling SHM of critical aircraft components. As there is a rising demand for this type of tools, both from the aeronautical and from other closely related industries (aolien, petroleum platforms, civil engineering), GMI objective is to improve its commercial position to those markets exploiting its technological excellence. Apart from direct equipment sales, a variety of related services will be additionally developed (training, studies for demanding repairs, consulting, certification support, logistics, application of advanced repairs, participation to R&D projects, etc). To this end 2 phases have been specified: Phase 1: Development of a feasibility study, to examine technological, practical and economic viability issues, resulting in a realistic business plan for growth through “COmposite repair solutions for aeronautical BUSiness development”: COLOMBUS-1; Phase 2: COLOMBUS-2 will be submitted to EU, including required innovation and support activities for the materialization of prepared GMI plan. A sustainable increase of yearly turnover by 20% is expected for the next 10 years, following implementation of COLOMBUS projects

Recent years have seen remarkable strides taken in the understanding, simulation, and control of complex quantum systems, evidenced by the fact that so-called second generation quantum technologies are becoming viable and a global concerted effort to exploit quantum systems is steadily progressing. To maximise the potential of these emerging technologies we must both understand their underlying working principles and be able to manipulate them effectively. In regards to the former, the quickly growing field of quantum thermodynamics is, and continues to, develop the basic framework to understand work, heat, and efficiency when quantum systems are used. Regarding the latter, a plethora of techniques to control quantum systems have come to the forefront of research, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. From a practical standpoint we normally seek to achieve this control in the shortest possible time. In this regard, one of the most intriguing aspects of quantum systems emerged from the clarification of Heisenberg’s energy-time uncertainty relation when Mandelstam and Tamm showed that it sets a minimal time for a quantum system to evolve: the quantum speed limit time. The main goal of the proposed action will be to exploit the recent developments in understanding the thermodynamics of quantum systems in order to develop control techniques for complex quantum systems that operate as quickly as physically possible, while requiring the minimal resources. This will be achieved by establishing connections between the quantum speed limit and other fundamental bounds, determining the achievability of the quantum speed limit using state-of-the-art control techniques, and designing new protocols that require minimal experimental resources, yet achieve a desired task.

While the popular press often depicts a future where white collar jobs have been taken over by artificial intelligence, evidence suggests it is far more likely that many jobs will require non-IT specialists to analyse, in real-time, huge volumes of complex data with the help of a computer. Media files make up a large portion of these data volumes, and already today our personal and professional lives are full of large digital media collections (e.g. Netflix, Google, YouTube, etc.) that must be interactively explored, analysed, understood, annotated, and used. The research described in this proposal seeks to address this trend by designing and evaluating a large-scale interactive multimedia analytics prototype designed for a rapidly emerging new mode of visual access, namely virtual reality. Platforms supporting virtual reality provide unparalleled immersion and can afford the ability to submerge their users into an environment where visual analysis can occur in three spatial dimensions and six degrees of freedom. In this proposal we discuss our hypothesis that by combining the state-of-the-art in scalable multimedia analytics with a highly interactive access mechanism such as virtual reality, it will enable the development of pioneering applications to support unprecedented analysis of large-scale multimedia datasets. The research proposed in this application aims to significantly extend the state of the art in this domain by addressing a confluence of three major trends in computing: interactive analysis, novel access mechanisms, and collection scale.

Old, poorly insulated buildings represent a tremendous potential for saving energy in Europe. Aerogel building materials are characterized by very low thermal conductivities and ideal physical properties in building applications both in retrofits and new constructions. While several products have been developed and become commercially available in the last decade, knowledge with building professionals - such as architects, building designers, engineers and owners on their successful practical application in different contexts is still sparse. This hinders the implementation of available solutions as well as the development of new ones based on aerogels, which have the potential to play a significant role in the reduction of energy consumption in buildings and thus in meeting EU climate and energy goals. It is hence proposed, in a first work package (WP1), to document and analyse the usage of aerogel building materials in Switzerland and the EU by studying and measurement of realised retrofits and applications in new buildings. This data and its analysis will be made available within an online data base. In the second and third part will be bring unique new combinations of aerogel composite materials for architecture and construction (WP2) and new aerogel insulation for cavity walls of existing buildings (WP3). Subsequently (WP4) by studying building applications and their performance in terms of energy and costs, guidelines for the use of aerogel building materials will be developed, verified by simulation and published. For the first time building professionals will have free access to a comprehensive and unbiased body of knowledge detailing where and how aerogel building materials can be used. Crucial to the proposed work is its multidisciplinary approach which joins the architectural expertise of the researcher with the knowledge and experience of the hosting laboratory in material development, which constitutes an ideal framework for truly innovative research.

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure’s (EHRI) mission is to overcome widespread dispersal of Holocaust sources. EHRI is an advanced community comprising 23 partners from 17 countries across Europe, Israel and the United States. It is an inter-disciplinary community spanning Holocaust research, archival sciences and the digital humanities. In two previous Integrating Activities, EHRI has integrated an unprecedented amount of information about dispersed Holocaust sources in an online Portal, developed tools to contextualise, analyse and interpret such sources, and set new impulses with regard to inter-disciplinary and trans-national research. EHRI’s past achievements have been recognised, not least by European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) who adopted EHRI on its 2018 Roadmap. The aim of the EHRI-3 project is to move decisively beyond the achieved state-of-the-art. In particular, while EHRI has already integrated the holdings of the major Holocaust RIs, much valuable source material that is held by small local and micro-archives is currently inaccessible to the research communities. EHRI-3 will develop protocols and tools that allow the open up of hidden sources for Holocaust research. EHRI-3 will further enable new trans-national approaches to the study of the Holocaust by developing innovative layers across dispersed sources that connect thematically related, but physically dispersed, collections. It will greatly enhance its access provisions, and integrate new communities – local research and archive networks, universities, researchers working in closely related fields – into its network. Although EHRI is geared towards scholarly communities, the Holocaust is deeply rooted in the development of European societies. EHRI-3 will continue to be a showcase of how a humanities RI can inform societal discourse in areas such as antisemitism, xenophobia, non-discrimination and religious and cultural tolerance.

Integrated urban wastewater systems (Catchment, Sewer networks, Wastewater treatment plants and Receiving water media) management is of great importance to meet the requirement of the European Water Framework Directive (Council of the European Communities). Iron salts addition urban wastewater systems (UWS) is able to prevent corrosion and odor control in sewers and maximize phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment bioreactors and hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas in an anaerobic digester. However, these processes are typically manipulated separately towards sub-systems. By recognizing and enhancing their connections, an integrated management strategy would deliver plant-wide or system-wide optimization with tremendous economic and environmental benefits. OPTIUWS addresses these challenges by exploring a unified UWS platform and designing advanced control methodologies for system-wide iron salts addition management. OPTIUWS will be hosted by DTU (Technical University of Denmark), co-hosted by LU (Lund University) and collaborated with industrial partners (BIOFOS and VA SYD) to train the experienced researcher (ER)’s mathematical modeling skill, leadership & international collaborations skill and transferable skills in communication and outreach, finally to formulate a freely distributable software prototype. By this project, data collection campaign in WP1 and the new set of software prototype from WP2- -WP4 developed in OPTIUWS will significantly contribute to a direct connection with public communities, promoting ER’s industrial career, making UWS management a corner stone of Europe's sustainability vision while fostering a strong landscape in Europe and worldwide.

MICRO2MACRO proposes a research agenda where macroeconomic outcomes emerge as the equilibrium aggregation of decisions by interlinked micro-units of production operating in narrow, possibly frictional, markets and subject to localized shocks. Under this broad agenda, the project focuses on three different themes. The first theme of MICRO2MACRO develops novel theory on market power in production networks and explores how this perspective may inform policy makers and academics. It asks the following questions: (i) Where does market power lie? Can models of production networks help identify market power bottlenecks in supply chain data? (ii) How is competition policy affected by production networks? (iii) Can this micro-to-macro approach inform unresolved debates on the cyclicality of markups? Second, while the literature has mostly focused on how production networks can help in understanding business cycles, the implications for innovation and growth are largely unexplored. The second theme of MICRO2MACRO puts forward a view of the networked nature of innovation and explores its implications for aggregate growth. It asks: (i) Do innovation decisions cascade throughout the supply chain in response to final demand market size effects? (ii) How do firms explore the knowledge space? Do firms shift between exploiting in depth a given technology and exploring in a new technological domain? (iii) What are the asset pricing implications of unbalanced growth at a micro level? The third theme of MICRO2MACRO explores how naturally occurring transaction-level data can help surmount empirical bottlenecks in the existent literature. We ask: (i) Whether transaction records can be tapped into to provide a substitute for classical national accounts objects such as disaggregated GDP measures and detailed input-output tables (ii) Whether this data can be deployed to understand the propagation of highly localized shocks through final demand linkages.

Magnetic fields lie at the heart of essentially all the outstanding problems in galactic evolution. However, the measurement of interstellar magnetic fields is very challenging. We can either measure the strength or the direction of the magnetic field vector in different regions of the Milky Way. Clearly, in order to assess the impact of the magnetic field in the core processes of galactic evolution, such as star formation and stellar feedback, we need to complement the observations with simulations of the magnetic field evolution. The most successful simulations of the galactic magnetic field evolution show that tiny magnetic seeds of cosmic origin were amplified to their current values through a dynamo process. In a dynamo, large-scale galactic processes such as differential rotation and turbulence twist magnetic field lines, and small-scale processes like Ohmic diffusion reconnect them. However, simulations of this process so far lack the simultaneous modeling of the processes that generate turbulence and the realistic small-scale diffusion that drives the dynamo. This ambitious project will develop the first simulations that will include all the core processes of galactic evolution, such as a multi-phase interstellar medium, time-dependent star formation and stellar feedback, and the realistic non-ideal MHD terms necessary for modeling a dynamo. The simulations will be performed with the RAMSES code, a throughly tested tool for galaxy evolution simulations. The Adaptive Mesh Refinement technique employed in the code will allow capturing the self-consistent generation of turbulence by stellar feedback, and its zoom-in capabilities will allow re-simulating regions of interest with enough resolution to model the magnetic field diffusion. The outcome will be the first self-consistent model of the Galactic magnetic field, an essential input for cosmological, galaxy-evolution, and star-formation theories, and a reference tool for observational studies.
