C4U is a holistic interdisciplinary project involving the collaboration with 8 European countries and Mission Innovation Countries, Canada, China and USA aimed at addressing all the essential elements required for the optimal integration of CO2 capture in the iron and steel industry as part of the CCUS chain. This spans demonstration of highly efficient CO2 capture technologies at TRL7 designed for optimal integration into an iron and steel plant and detailed consideration of the safety, environmental, societal, policy and business aspects for successful incorporation into the North Sea Port CCUS cluster. The above involves the elevation from TRL5 to TRL7 two highly energy-efficient high-temperature solid-sorbent CO2 capture technologies for decarbonising blast furnace gas and other carbon containing gases. In addition, the C4U project assesses the societal readiness and analyses the optimal design for full-scale integration of such technologies in industrial plants operated by the world’s largest iron and steel manufacturer, ArcelorMittal. For the first time, in combination, these two technologies will target up to 90% of the total emissions from the steel plant that come from a variety of sources. Using a whole system approach, we account for the impact of the quality of the captured CO2 on the safety and operation of the CO2 pipeline transportation and storage infrastructure whilst exploring utilisation opportunities based on integration into the North Sea Port CCUS industrial cluster. A candidate for the fourth Union list of Projects of Common Interest2, CO2TransPorts aims to establish the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the large-scale capture, transport and storage of CO2 from three of the most important ports in Europe; North Sea, Rotterdam and Antwerp and to transport and store up to 10 Mt/yr of CO2 per year.

I propose here a research program aimed to the design a completely new platform for drug delivery. I will combine our existing repertoire of molecular engineering tools based around our established approach to design responsive nanoparticles known as Polymersomes to integrate new features using clinically safe and biodegradable components that will make them super-selective and chemotactic toward glucose gradients so to deliver large therapeutic payload into the central nervous systems and the brain in particular targeting cancer cells harbouring within the healthy. We will do so by engineering components using supramolecular interaction inspired by biological complexity equipping carriers with the ability to self-propelled as a function of glucose gradient. I will complement our proposed design with advanced biological characterisation associating functional information arising form the physiological barrier to structural parameters integrated into the final carrier design.

We propose to alter the surface topography and morphology of titanium substrates for phase change heat transfer enhancements using the electrochemical techniques developed in an ERC consolidator grant. The alteration efforts will result in enhanced heat transfer efficiency. The modified titanium substrate will be used to fabricate a thermally enhanced heat exchange device, which will then be used to construct a novel thermal water separation system based on a multi-effect ‘hybrid’ distillation concept for fresh water recovery from seawater or industrial wastewater feed. This system is applicable for desalination and wastewater treatment. The goal of the project is to provide technology demonstrators for such a system, which is expected to have a disruptive high efficiency compared to existing systems.

Lack of innovation management capacity is recognised as an important barrier to creating economic impact (competitiveness, growth and jobs) from innovation activities in SMEs. The general objective of the proposal is to achieve overall long-term capacity building in (Finnish) SME’s, particularly to make the innovation system in the companies more efficient and effective and to increase and accelerate the economic returns from innovation in the SMEs. In proposal actions will be identified weaknesses in the innovation capacities of the SME that hinder the realisation of growth opportunities and of the full commercial potential. Hence, the improvement of this innovation management capacity upgrades the economic performance of the most promising SMEs. First specific objective of the project is to provide Key account management services to beneficiaries of the EIC Enhanced Pilot: SME instrument, FTI (Fast Track to Innovation) and FET-Open (Future and Emerging Technologies Open). These services aim to identify bottlenecks to the creation of economic impact in companies benefitting from grants by these Horizon2020's programs. Based on the needs analysis the Key account management services identify suitable coaches to address the identified bottlenecks and facilitates the coach-client relationship during the coaching project. Second specific objective is to provide services, which enhance the innovation management capacity of SMEs. This service will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of innovation processes in small and medium sized enterprises with significant innovation activities that could potentially become beneficiaries of European support to research and innovation but would not have effective access to consulting services for innovation management. The service includes an assessment of innovation management capacity and development actions based on the assessment. In assessments and development one area with emphasis is digitalisation.

Imagine an electronic device that could harvest energy from the first ray of the sun, every single beat of your heart, and even exhaust from your automobile. The boost in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have forced a fast deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These devices are expected to operate 24x7 at the pane of a blink. Powering such devices accounts for 6% of the global fossil fuel energy production. The best way to meet this power demand is to develop self-sustainable, monolithic, long-lasting, electronic devices that are designed to receive mechanical, thermal, and photovoltaic input from the surroundings individually or simultaneously to provide an electrical output whenever needed. This will be achieved by engineering high performing unrivalled materials’ architectures, with high piezoresponse for mechanical energy conversion and efficient transport properties for thermal and photovoltaic performance. POWER aims at chemically modifying lead-free hybrid halide organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) and improving their stability by encapsulating them in a polymer matrix. Following this, the structural, optical, and electrical response of these materials and their integrated devices will be measured and correlated with the crystal structure. Lessons from these fundamental multi-dimensional studies will not only offer a solution to our dream self-sustainable device but will also motivate scientists and researchers working in the regime of hardware support for AI, chemistry, materials science, and device physics. The project will integrate the applicant’s expertise on HOIP synthesis and device characterization with the extensive experience of the host-lab in thin-film growth and mechatronics. Importantly, the originality and boldness of the project will warranty that its success will catapult the applicant’s international recognition as an independent scientist, greatly increasing her career prospects to be a future group leader.

The purpose of ACES is to advance the assessment of safety performance of safety-critical concrete infrastructure by addressing remaining scientific and technology gaps for the safe and LTO of NPPs. This collaborative project aims to clarify, enhance and unify methods of structural integrity assessment in support of LTO. The project scope of work focuses mainly on safety critical reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. ACES is aimed at an experimental proof of concepts, and validates the developed methodologies at both a laboratory scale and a quasi-full scale level (mock-ups). The proper understanding of deterioration and ageing mechanisms requires a research strategy based on combined experimental and theoretical studies following a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing state of the art experimental and modelling techniques. Material characterization at different length scales is necessary, focusing on the physical understanding of the degradation processes (e.g. radiation effects, internal swelling reactions, liner corrosion, etc.) and their influence on macroscopic mechanical properties and structural/functional integrity of the components. ACES aims at having a significant impact on the safety of operational Gen II and III NPPs, and impact the design of next-generation plants. ACES will improve the understanding of ageing and deterioration of concrete, and will demonstrate and quantify inherent safety margins introduced by the conservative approaches used during design and defined by codes and standards employed throughout the life of the plant. The outcomes from ACES will therefore support the LTO of NPPs. This will be achieved by using more advanced and realistic scientific methods to assess the integrity of NPP concrete infrastructure. The project will provide evidence to support the methods by carrying out various tests, including large-scale tests based on replicated scenarios of NPPs.

Discharges from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the major sources of aquatic pollution. The increased detection of a wide range of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment shows the limitations of conventional WWTPs (developed and designed to protect natural aquatic systems and water resources mainly by removing loads of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous) in removing these compounds. Therefore, advances in WWTP technologies are crucial to limit the burden of WW-originated contaminants. To date, one of the main challenges is to appropriately evaluate the different treatment technologies regarding their potential to minimize the toxicological risks for biota and human health. The main objective of SMART-WORKFLOW is to integrate the last advances in high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and statistical analysis of data to develop and optimize a smart methodology (workflow) for the assessment of the overall quality of wastewater treatment. Treatments that will be evaluated include the ones (i) based only on physical processes (e.g. membrane filtration or carbon adsorption) where there is no change in the chemical identity of the pollutants and (ii) with changes in the identity of the pollutants due to chemical reactions, including biological treatments or advanced treatments based on oxidation processes (AOPs). The generated workflow is understood as a procedural sequence for data acquisition, data processing and data mining and it will be applicable to both already-known and new wastewater treatments, providing a rapid assessment on its performance regarding the removal of polar organic compounds and generated transformation products (TPs). The present project aims to produce a substantial impact on the field of water research, one of the Europe’s Societal Challenges.

For a competitive EU battery sector, the development of next-generation battery systems needs cost-efficient processes. MODALIS² will make a significant contribution to a cost-down for EV battery cells through an all-integrated development process based on numerical tools relying on extensive measurement data and material characterization all the way down to micro-structures. With the integrated modelling and simulation, MODALIS² will provide degrees of freedom for the cell and battery development processes that allows to address the following design challenges: i) faster development of batteries with higher energy density with new materials; ii) faster development of materials with higher optimized performances for higher-energy battery applications; iii) improved battery safety during transport and operation; iv) optimization of cyclability; v) lower development costs; and vi) better understanding of material interactions within the cell. The main achievement of MODALIS² is to develop and validate modelling & simulation tools for Gen 3b cells by aiming for higher capacities for the positive & negative electrodes; and for Gen 4b cells by enabling the use of solid electrolytes for improved safety and to facilitate the use of Li-M for the negative electrode. These new technologies are submitted to new specific mechanisms and phenomena (mechanical stresses on negative electrodes, volumetric expansion, solid electrolytic conduction) that are not considered by current modelling and simulation tools. MODALIS² will address the material characterization of next-generation (3b and 4b) Li-Ion cells in different physical domains, then expanding a carefully chosen set of models towards integrating new cell generations and implementing the models into a numerical simulations toolchain scalable to mass production. The modelling & simulation toolchain will allow faster time-to-market for next-gen cells.
