Addressing the grand-challenges that the world is facing nowadays in connection with ‘energy’, ‘information’ and ‘health’ requires the development of unconventional methods for unprecedented visualization of matter. SMART-electron aims at developing an innovative technological platform for designing, realizing and operating all-optical rapidly-programmable phase masks for electrons. By introducing a new paradigm where properly synthesized ultrafast electromagnetic fields will be used for engineering the phase space of a free-electron wave function, we will be able to achieve unprecedented space/time/energy/momentum shaping of electron matter waves, surpassing conventional passive monolithic schemes and revolutionizing the way materials are investigated in electron microscopy. Such unique high-speed, flexible and precise full-phase multidimensional control, will enable novel advanced imaging approaches in electron microscopy with enhanced features, such as higher image-resolution, lower electron dose, faster acquisition rate, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and three-dimensional image reconstruction, together with higher temporal resolution and high energy-momentum sensitivity. In SMART-electron, we will make such potential a reality by implementing for the first time three beyond-the-state-of-the-art imaging techniques enabled by our photonic-based electron modulators, namely: (1) Ramsey-type Holography, (2) Electron Single-Pixel Imaging, and (3) Quantum Cathodoluminescence. Such new approaches will lead to unprecedented visualization of many-body states in quantum materials, real-time electrochemical reactions, and spatio-temporal localization of biomimetic nanoparticles in cells for drug delivery. By surpassing the current paradigms in terms of electron manipulation, the project has the potential to drive electron microscopy into a new and exciting age where scientists will benefit from new tools with unprecedented performances that were unimaginable until now.

High infrastructural spending (expected to reach €79 trillion annully on a global scale) is highly indicative of the ageing of our infrastructure (with most assets being >60years old). As infrastructure ages, its level of service, reliability and safety decreases, becoming susceptible to failure and a danger to human life. The most plausible solution to this problem is the adoption of proper asset management. A fundamental premise to asset management is continuous monitoring to understand the state of the infrastructure for appropriate action to be taken and this has been made possible through the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, current tools for asset monitoring either have low accuracy, are manually operated, lack civil engineering expertise, are not scalable - service specific e.g. big infrastructure only, or are extremely expensive. This limits the determination of present asset conditions and hinders effective preventive maintenance operations to make ageing infrastructure safer. Realising this challenge, INFRASENS is developing Inte-Sens, a game changing integrated sensor system with a range of application-specific sensors and a wireless data transmission system, used to monitor and manage infrastructure in real time. Our key unique feature which enables our uniqueness is the ability for Inte-Sense to link all geotechnical sensors under a single data management and the combination of our sensor technology with Big Data analytics to create an exact representation of the state of the asset. This enables civil engineers to forecast asset conditions and/or failure and make informed maintenance decisions on behalf of their customers. Although it has a miriad of application, for the purpose of this project, Inte-Sens will be targeted at residential infrastructure. This feasibility study will enable us to validate the viability of Inte-Sens and ascertain the technical, commercial and financial conditions for successful completion and exploitation.

The goal of INREP is to develop and deploy valid and robust alternatives to indium (In) based transparent conductive electrode materials as electrodes. In-based materials, mainly ITO, are technologically entrenched in the commercial manufacture of components like LEDs (both organic and inorganic), solar cells, touchscreens, so replacing them with In-free transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) will require holistic approach. The INREP philosophy is to meet this challenge by addressing the whole value chain via an application focused research programme aiming at developing tailor made solutions for each targeted application. This programme will produce a complete evaluation of the relevant properties of the proposed TCOs, including the impact of deposition technique, and by doing so, devise optimum processes for their application in selected, high value application areas. The selected application areas are organic and inorganic light emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells and touchscreens. The physical properties of interest are the transparency, electrical conductivity, work function, texture, and chemical and thermal stability. To reach its overall goal, INREP brings together industrial and academic experts in TCOs, the technology and processes for their deposition and their applications in a concerted research programme that will result in the creation of TCOs and deposition technologies with the optimum opto-electrical properties suitable for the economic and safe manufacture of the specified photonic or opto-electronic components. The approach will include life cycle assessments of the environmental impact of the developed TCO materials and of their formation technologies over the entire period from application in manufacturing, throughcomponent operation into waste management.

Flowing electrolyte-direct methanol fuel cell (FE-DMFC) is a novel energy technology in which the performance of the conventional DMFC is increased by eliminating the methanol crossover problem. There are some studies found in the literature to predict the performance of this fuel cell using one and two-dimensional single phase models. The validation of these models was done using the experimental test results for the membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) built with conventional materials. In this project, the main objective is to develop a high performance FE-DMFC stack through modeling and experimental studies. For this purpose, a three-dimensional and two-phase multiphysics model, which includes all the transport phenomena in all the layers, will be developed to predict the performance of the FE-DMFC stack accurately. To validate this model, a FE-DMFC stack based on alternative MEA materials (i.e. materials having lower cost, and higher stability and reaction kinetics) will be manufactured in-house in cooperation with the partner organization in Europe. After validating this model, the effect of significant design and operating parameters of the stack on the output parameters will be investigated; thus the parameters that increase the performance of this fuel cell mostly will be determined. This project will have have a very positive impact in Dr. Colpan's career as it will help him to develop lasting integration with his institution and increase his network in Europe. The knowledge and results gained as a result of the research conducted during this project will be shared with other researchers, scientists, and general public through several activities (e.g. conference, seminar, and papers in the journals, webpage, and visiting schools). It is expected that the results of this project will make a significant progress toward commercialization of the FE-DMFC, which in turn contributes to the economy and social prosperity of European society.

Many fast-growing industries, such as aerospace, automotive, power generation, oil & gas require fast-response, light-weight, flexible, stable, large-area temperature measurement. These requirements are particularly relevant for the battery industry which faces renaissance and booming demand both, in electric vehicle (EV) market and grid battery storage. Managing of an even distribution of temperature is key to operating of EV batteries close to their performance limits. The detailed monitoring of the battery temperature can bring great benefits and prevent potential negative effects of overheating which implicitly improves the state of health, i.e., a lifetime of batteries as well as prevents their technical failures. Danubia NanoTech developed an effective solution - graphene temperature sensor which can be, in the form of extremely thin film, applied on any non-metallic substrate (e.g., foil, glass). The sensor confirmed the high accuracy in the industrial validation; it is very thin, ultra-light, and while produced by spray-coating, it is also very variable for application on flexible (curved) surfaces and practically unlimited in terms of coverage area. On self-adhesive film, the sensor's application is very easy, with lower material costs, with fast response and excellent accuracy. All these properties of our graphene sensor provide a great value proposition particularly for EV batteries and also for grid battery storage. Danubia NanoTech is a dynamic technology-based company with long-term expertise in R&D of advanced materials focused on applications of graphene and carbon nanotubes. We produce excellent quality graphene with applicability in flexible electronics and conductive composites. Currently, we focus on the development of graphene-based sensors (temperature, thermo-physical, strain) for applications in different industries. Research, development, and production of carbon nanomaterials are ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Gaining detailed control over chemical reactions has always been a chemists dream. Quantum coherent control has been pursuing this dream by using specially tailored light fields to control chemical reactions on an atomistic level. With the advancement of cavity quantum electrodynamics and its recent application to molecules, using the quantum properties of light to control photo-chemistry has come into reach. Recent, ground breaking experiments have show that one can utilize the vacuum field of an optical nano-resonator to significantly modify the potential energy landscape and thus its photo-chemistry. The underlying effect is the formation of so called "dressed states", which are created when the quantized radiation field mode couples to a molecular electronic transition. In the resulting coupled light-matter system the molecular and the photonic degrees of freedom are heavily mixed. While this effect is well understood for atomic samples, it is not yet fully understood for molecules. The introduction of the nuclear degrees of freedom requires new theoretical frameworks. This effect can be used to modify reaction pathways of chemical and photo-chemical reactions. This opens a wide range of possibilities to engineer novel types of light driven catalysts. The major objectives of this proposal are to advance the theoretical understanding of the underlying mechanisms, to build a suitable tool chest for numerical simulations, to use the insight and tools to propose new photo-chemical applications, and to close the gap between theory and experiment. We will theoretically investigate possibilities to optimize organic solar cells, and the photo catalytic schemes for environmentally relevant molecules.

Dear Madam/Sir, I would like to inform you on behalf of my consortium of the amendment of the above-mentioned project, for the following reason(s): Unfortunately, the massive disruption of the international travel due to COVID-19 and strict restrictions on the international travel imposed by the countries and organizations involved have essentially affected the implementation of the DiSeTCom project in terms of secondments. This had resulted in the suspending of the project for 249 days and reshuffling of the exchange schedule, which has become hardly bearable in terms of the manpower of the project partners. In order to fulfill the project obligations in terms of the researchers exchange we propose to boost the project manpower by adding the following beneficiaries: University of Exeter, UK (UNEXE), PIC 999864555 (academic organization), MaxLLG Ltd, UK (MAXLLG), PIC 893920961 (SME) NARRANDO SRL, IT (NARRANDO), PIC 917345685 (SME) Involving two SMEs we allow us to enhance the exploitation potential of the DiSetCom, while an extensive expertise of UNEXE in the electromagnetic theory of 2D materials and heterostructures is to complement the INPBSU and ToV expertise. The organizations above have well-established research collaboration with DiSetCom teams, they have been involved in RISE projects earlier and their research facilities are complementary with those currently available for the consortium and will allow them to effectively contribute to the implementation of the WP2, WP3 and WP5. The implementation of the amendment involves changes in the Annex 1 (Parts A and B) hereby updated accordingly. By this letter we request an amendment for adding UNEXE, MAXLLG and NARRANDO to the consortium indicatively from 01.11.2021. Modification of Annex 1 and Annex 2 Minor changes in the Gantt chart were introduced: +2 PM to UEF (FI), - 4 PM for TERAVIL (LT), -1 PM for UNISA (IT),+ 1PM to FTMC (5LT), - 2 PM for UNITOV (IT), - 10 for Nuclear Problems of Belarussian State University. As for the newcomers: 17 PM go to UNEXE (UK), 17 PM go to MaxLLG Ltd (UK) and 12 PM go to NARRANDO Srl (IT). There is no change to the total EU contribution. Yours faithfully Yuri Svirko Project coordinator

The IGYMERA proposal is aimed at exploring novel strategies to reduce methane production in ruminants. Our innovative proposal differs from other past strategies. Instead of using whole archaea for the development of antibodies, we will raise low-cost, specific and non-toxic IgY polyclonal antibodies against the key membrane targets responsible for methane production, or for their ability to produce a significant reduction in methanogenic microorganism populations in the rumen. To identify such targets, we plan to use state-of-the-art proteomic tools and molecular cloning techniques for the production of recombinant proteins to be used for hen immunization. We also plan to test an early intervention approach in the rumen of small ruminants (goats), to enhance the reduction in their microbial methanogen population during adult life.

Manufacturing industries are currently facing difficulties when comes to connecting their machines with the data analysis and management software systems, due to interoperability issues. Much of the data are not structured, have the same format or are even compatible; manufacturing big data sets are highly heterogeneous and unstructured in nature, being hard to analyse and distribute across various sectors and different stakeholders involved in the product and factory life cycles. As a result, more than half of European manufacturing companies (particularly SMEs) are missing on the opportunity of Industry 4.0 to maximize productivity and efficiency. STARGATE consists of a HW platform and SW that enables data acquisition from the factory machines simply and efficiently. It works as a single gateway that acts as a bridge between the machines and the numerous software systems used at the factory to control production. At this point, we have already developed a prototype capable of connecting all machines within a shop floor with a unique gateway. It has been tested at the facilities of a well-known company in the jewellery industry and a leading supplier of tool data management software solutions. Next, we need to (1) automatize the process of SW installation, (2) test and validate the tool data collection module. STARGATE will be firstly focused to CNC tool machines within metal-cutting industries with a total volume of 24.4 bn euro in 2017. Commercialization will follow a three-step strategy: DACH countries, rest of Europe and USA. By 2023, we expect to increase our revenue to almost 6M€ with a global profit of 2.65M€, tripling the figures that the company makes today. We are ECI Manufacturing, an Austrian company dedicated to the manufacture of complex engine and machine components. With STARGATE, we aim at entering a new industry: Mechatronics. For that, we count with qualified engineers experienced in data exchange, SW development and manufacturing processes.
