This proposal responds to the first Open Calls issued by the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking, as part of Shift2Rail Horizon 2020 programme. It specifically addresses the topic S2R-OC-IP5-03-2015: Intelligent freight wagon with predictive maintenance. This topic is complementary with topic S2R-CFM-IP5-02-2015: Start-up activities for Freight Automation. The INNOWAG project will work towards increasing rail freight competitiveness and the development of the next generation of lightweight and intelligent freight wagons by addressing specific challenges in the three essential areas, identified by the call, through three subsequent work streams, namely: - Work Stream 1 (WS1): Cargo condition monitoring; - Work Stream 2 (WS2): Wagon design; and - Work Stream 3 (WS3): Predictive maintenance. Moreover, INNOWAG will consider the compatibility between the solutions proposed and researched in the three areas, as well as their integration into a novel concept of wagon. The aim of the proposed INNOWAG project is to develop intelligent cargo monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions integrated on a novel concept of lightweight wagon, which would respond to major challenges in rail freight competitiveness, in relation to the increase of trans The INNOWAG project will determine how to effectively integrate innovative technologies for cargo condition monitoring into a novel high performance lightweight freight wagon, supported by effective health monitoring technologies, and predictive maintenance models for sustainable and attractive European rail freight. The development of novel technology concepts and predictive maintenance models and procedures will be separately addresses by the INNOWAG work streams. The concept underpinning the INNOWAG project relies on the actual needs of rail freight for increasing its competitiveness and attractiveness. The INNOWAG project therefore aims at developing a rail freight service that fits the needs of modern manufacturing and supply chain.

Various reasons can inspire a travel. Travelling for art implies embracing new challenges, being prone to staying in the limelight and to taking risks, chasing glory, rewards, and money. Throughout the Hellenistic period and beyond, itinerant professionals of literacy and music travelled around Greece for all the above. The endeavours, paths, stories of the “poeti vaganti” -so called after the preliminary study by Guarducci (MAL 1927-1929)- are mainly documented by epigraphy, allowing us to envision a cultural and popular phenomenon that run parallel to court literature. Unknown artists and accomplished intellectuals showed off on all the renowned stages of the Hellenistic centres, delivering their performances at festivals, sacred celebrations, and occasions that gathered audience from the territory and abroad. Although the compositions of itinerant artists are sporadically preserved being mainly intended for oral use, epigraphy provides us a large spectrum of valuable elements leading through the reconstruction of the Hellenistic performative life. The study of inscriptions shows three main osmotic levels allowing us to interpret correctly the data and reach out the essence of the “movement” of itinerant professionals of the arts. The central point of this scenario is Travel, as the title of this project indicates: the expression from a Tanagra epigram (IG VII 530) “ptanois posin”, i.e. with winged feet, enshrines the essence of itinerant arts. Travel leads to disclose Performance, studied by typology and nature, and Travellers, traced in their stories and careers. This project, which obtained the Seal of Excellence in MSCA-IF-GF-2016 and also benefits from a digital version (to be developed with the CHS Harvard University partnership), investigates the “poeti vaganti” phenomenon that captures multiple glimpses of history, performative arts, and society of the Hellenism, while providing a reassessment of the ongoing discourse on cultural production of this period.

The main objective of this project is to reconsider the traditional conception of the individual creation of a theater text and to propose a new theory about the production of 'Comedia Nueva' (1580-1635). This model is going to be established from the information extracted from analyzing a corpus of autograph plays, using palaeographic and codicological knowledge, but also incorporating digital technologies, such as hyperspectral photography. The result will offer a faithful reflection of the production process of Spanish Golden Age Theater, will provide a methodological protocol for the manuscripts analysis through photographic and digital instruments and will allow us to establish active collaboration between playwrights and other agents of the theater system. The project will contribute to research on the formation of European classical theater of the 16th and 17th centuries and will enrich the fields of Modern Literature, History of Theater and Spanish Theater of the Golden Age.

The objective of LEAP-AGRI is to fulfil the ambition of the Europe Africa dialogue in Science and Technology (the HLPD) to launch a joint flagship initiative on its chosen priority area: Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA). This partnership will increase investments in research and innovation through coordinated bi-regional (EU/Africa) mechanisms aimed at reducing fragmentation. These mechanisms will be based on two complementary approaches: - The preparation and implementation of a joint call for proposals for collaborative R&I projects between European and African partners which will contribute to the coordination and increase of joint activities between R&I institutions, and their programmes across European Union Member States (and Associated countries) and African countries. It will pool the financial resources from 22 countries for a total of over €28 M, including EC participation; - The identification and test of innovative instruments for alignment and collaboration in research, innovation, capacity strengthening and infrastructure development, especially targeting the implication - together with the national research agencies - of foundations, development agencies, private sector, and civil-society organizations. In consultation with the relevant stakeholder communities, including European and African governments, a joint Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda in the FNSSA domain will be defined. In these objectives, LEAP-AGRI aligns with the scope and expected impacts of the Horizon 2020 Challenge 2/ SFS 41 2016-2017 topic “EU-Africa Research and Innovation partnership on food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture” in all aspect. Building on earlier experiences such as ERAfrica, PRO-IntensAfrica and ERA-ARD, LEAP-AGRI will be guided by strong partnership principles such as equitability, shared governance and long-term commitment to the partnership by organisations who have relationships of trust for many years.

Background: A large number of people with severe mental illness receive no treatment. This treatment gap is largest in low and middle income countries (LMIC), with detrimental effects on individuals (social role, quality of life, stigma) and societies (equity, costs). Peer support is an established intervention involving a person in recovery from mental illness being employed to offer support to others with mental illness. Peers are an untapped resource in global mental health. Objective and methods: UPSIDES will scale-up peer support interventions for people with severe mental illness in high-, middle- and low-resource settings. An international community of practice for peer support including peer support workers, mental health researchers, and other relevant stakeholders in Europe, Africa and Asia (8 study sites in 6 countries) will be established. Peer support will be implemented adapted to the local context. Using a mixed-methods approach (N=558), the impact of peer support will be rigorously evaluated at the levels of patients and peer support workers (psychosocial and clinical outcomes), services (cost-effectiveness, return on investment), and implementation (adoption, sustainability, organisational change). Evidence of best practice will be disseminated to local, national and international stakeholders ensuring sustainability and spread. Expected impact: UPSIDES will improve the lives of large numbers of citizens in Europe and LMIC by modifying mental health systems using the expertise of people with personal experience of mental illness. Utilising peers will provide an essential driver in low-income settings relieving the scarcity of human capital. Performance of mental health services will be maximised through actively involving and empowering service users, generating system changes towards patient-centeredness, recovery orientation, and community participation. UPSIDES will transform health systems towards realizing mental health as a human right.

Real-time assessment of toxic sulphide in wastewater – market maturation of an Industrial Micro Electrochemical Cell (iMEC)

Framework: Horizon 2020 — Industrial Leadership

The number one cause influencing the lifetime of wastewater (WW) industry assets and hampering the pervasive implementation of a High Performing Asset Management (HPAM) strategy is the hydrogen sulphide (H2S) occurrence and the lack of tools to manage it. The H2S prevalence is highly problematic, because it is highly toxic, entails odour nuisances and it leads to corrosion and collapse of sewer systems, pumps and other equipment. The annual worldwide cost of asset corrosion in WW industry exceed €1.4 trillion and billions are overspent to handle H2S consequences. This industry spends 88.4% of its budget in asset management. Existing solutions measure H2S in the gas phase, however, these sensors underestimate the H2S levels leading to its inefficient management. The alternative is to add neutralization agents in excess, which entails an unsustainable economic burden and does not solve the problem regarding the lack of data to implement a HPAM strategy. To target this market need, SulfiLogger A/S developed and patented a disruptive, auto-calibrated industrial Micro Electrochemical Cell sensor (iMEC) for measuring dissolved H2S that can save up to €150,000 in chemical expenses per WW utility, while the savings resulting from enabling a HPAM strategy can lead to €0.5M – €1.3M savings in an average WW utility In an initial phase, we expect that most of iMEC sold will be used as feedback for dosing pumps or as tool to diagnose H2S problems. As the market confidence increases, iMEC will be increasingly purchased to monitoring the overall state of the network enabling a HPAM approach. Besides giving to SulfiLogger a technological leap with the consequent competitive advantage and export potential, the iMEC project will assist Europe in achieving objectives for environmental and quality of life policy. Overall, this opens an important economic opportunity for SulfiLogger (expecting €18M in cumulative profits, 5 years’ post-project) and leads to a more sustainable WW industry.

“EStages.UK. Spanish theatre in United Kingdom (1982-2019)” rehearses a new approach to the study of theatrical exchange in Europe, pioneering collaboration between scholars and theatre practitioners whilst promoting gender equality. The project pursues three interrelated strands, focusing respectively on research, practice and pedagogy. First, it will provide a history of Spanish plays performed in the UK since the consolidation of democracy in Spain, drawing a map of the circuits through which they have moved. Second, it will foster new strategies for collaboration between academia and practitioners, through close collaboration with the first UK-based company dedicated to the staging of Spanish-language theatre: the Spanish Theatre Company (STC). Third, it will develop new materials to promote the study of Spanish theatre in secondary and tertiary-level education. In order to achieve these three objectives, the project includes a two year training plan at the University of Leeds, and two short visits at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I will act as a conduit for knowledge exchange between these two leading centres for Theatre Studies, with established track records in research excellence, and the STC as well as other professional stakeholders. A paramount concern is to provide a forum for networking opportunities and dialogue between academia, practitioners, and cultural managers thereby reformulating and enhancing theatrical exchange and cultural understanding across borders and between different European nations

While 2020 can be defined using the word "Lockdown", we hope to define 2021 with the words "Opening Up". If the world is about to return to normality, the key contributor to this achievement is Research. Thus, the 2021 European Researchers? Night aims to celebrate science, as the hero that made it possible for the world to open up. Designed around the concept of "Opening Up Science", our event will highlight the impact that science and researchers have had in the process of opening up the world again. Never before in the history of humanity has the impact of science on our lives been clearer and faster. The concept will be extended to underline the key role that research will play in a post-Covid green recovery, a process that will allow societies to move forward to a cleaner, more sustainable, carbon-neutral and resilient future. Public trust in science comes with a higher responsibility for researchers in society: Opening Up Science will also carry a key message to the research community that needs to open up to the public. Using our event as a best practice example, we will highlight the importance of public engagement and science education as vital elements in making science truly more open in the society. The event will be organised by a national consortium, based in large Romanian university cities (Iasi, Timisoara, Craiova, Constanta and Sibiu), in collaboration with their traditional partners and local authorities, as well as joining goals with local science festivals or science associations. Flexibility will be key principle in organizing of the 2021 - whether returning to face-to-face interaction or remaining in an online format, focused on minds-on experiments, the event will capitalise on the newly gained experience of 2020, that allowed for better reach in underserved communities and even across Europe, through the collaboration between various projects coordinated from different countries.
