The project is aimed at stimulating the market uptake of deep retrofitting of buildings, with special regard to the Mediterranean area and to the residential built stock, by tackling major bottlenecks such as the fragmentation of the supply chain, the lack of transparency and of the perceived reliability of the interventions, of adequate financial support mechanisms, of integration among the relevant aspects connected to retrofitting, the low return on investments, or the lack of a retrofit approach clearly tailored for the Med environments. To this extent, the project will act on the following complementary themes: engagement and empowerment of target groups such as owners, inhabitants, building professionals; technological insight for the development of optimized one-stop shop packages of solutions for deep and beyond retrofitting; financial solutions for supporting the market uptake of deep retrofitting, and proposal of suitable changes in the regulatory frameworks. On this basis, the project will act on the demand side by ensuring a comprehensive and integrated framework of conditions for enhancing the overall appeal, convenience and reliability of deep renovations market, through the proposal of a holistic MedZEB approach conceived for the retrofitting market uptake in Southern Europe. In particular, this result will be pursued thanks to: 1) an integrated ICT platform, aimed at facilitating the matching between demand and offer; 2) the construction of a system of guarantees aimed at building trust among the different segments of the retrofitting supply and value chain; 3) the activation of three main Pilots, as well as of smaller ones, for testing the project outputs directly on-the-field of deep and beyond retrofitting interventions: in the pilots, the residential stock will be the main target (private/public), but HAPPEN will also explore other typologies and functions, for the widest replication of the project outputs across the Med space.

In Europe, an estimated 6.5M people are affected by heart valve disease (HVD) each year. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a HVD which occurs when the tricuspid valve fails to close properly, causing blood to flow backward into the right atrium. Many cases of TR are accompanied by Right Ventricle (RV) Dysfunction. The gold standard methods for tricuspid valve diseases are standard open-heart surgery and transcatheter valve replacement. However, high-risk interventions require long recovery time long in-hospital stays and have significant hospital mortality (more than 10%). Due to the high risk related to the surgical procedure, most of the patients cannot be treated. As such, there is a significant unmet clinical need for a transcatheter solution to TR. Trisol is introducing the Trisol System, a transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement system for treating severe TR and preventing RV dysfunction. The Trisol valve is constructed out of nitinol frame with specially designed sail-like leaflet. A flexible delivery system is used to position the valve into the heart with support arms anchoring to the tricuspid physiological site. The Trisol System allows cardiologists to perform a quick and safe implant procedure (30 minutes compared to 2-4 hours of standard surgery) thus increasing the number of treated population and reducing in-hospital and recovery time. Moreover, it will increase heart performance and reduce the risk of mortality typical of open-heart surgeries. The Phase 2 project will enable Trisol to scale-up production, perform validation and verification activities including a preclinical study; and validate the safety and efficacy of the Trisol System in the First-In-Human and CE mark clinical trial.

Hexafly’s innovative solution provides the proteins and oils needed for nutritious feed profiles through the bio-conversion of agricultural waste with little or no nutritional value into a viable feedstock through the breeding of Black Soldier Fly larvae. These are then processed into a protein meal rich in amino acids, and a nutritious oil loaded with omega 3, 6 and 9, this oil has recently been verified as having a nearly identical profile to coconut oil. Within the very same process, the shells of the insects are separated from the insect proteins in order to increase their digestibility, which is then converted into the valuable chitin commodity. Hexafly use their innovative Bio-Conversion technology to up-cycle low value vegetative waste from various industries converting it into high value sustainable natural commodities providing an environmentally friendly cleantech solution to many of the serious problems and issues facing the Animal Feed and Fertiliser Markets. Hexafly’s insect based oils and protein provide a much more ecologically friendly feed source than fishmeal or soymeal, providing more nutritional value, and without requiring the use of any arable land. It is a highly sustainable procedure utilising bio-conversion of agricultural waste to produce a high quality source of nutrition with a minimum carbon footprint. Hexafly’s innovative solution contributes to the green circular economy by reducing reliance on wild fish stocks, while promoting the sustainable growth of existing aquaculture to meet growing human consumption demands. In addition, its adoption will reduce reliance on soy which takes up excessive amounts of arable land, of which may be channelled instead to alternative crops or directed for human consumption. When compared to current market solutions Hexafly can deliver a 90% reduction in greenhouse emissions.

Our society depends on thousands of indispensable molecules such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and coatings. Such products are synthesized from starting materials that originate from fossil resources, mainly oil. As oil is depleting, alternative starting materials are needed. CO2 is a benign and sustainable carbon source, which in analogy to natural photosynthetic processes can be used to form chemical building blocks. However, despite the potential ascribed to CO2, the scope of chemicals available from CO2 remains narrow. In particular, the number of syntheses leading to carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation from CO2 is limited, although C-C linkages constitute the core of all organic molecules. The CO2PERATE consortium is a cooperation between 3 industrial and 7 academic nodes, with a simple but essential vision: Training of European researchers in the synthesis of indispensable molecules from sustainable carbon sources and with sustainable catalysts. The main focus is on using CO2 as a synthon in C-C bond formation leading to industrially relevant compounds. In order to develop fully sustainable processes, CO2PERATE will react CO2 with biomass-derived starting materials and will use non-precious metal catalysts. The development of CO2-based synthetic pathways is highly beneficial not only for the chemical industry but also for pharmaceutical applications. In particular, CO2PERATE will have major impact on carbon-based isotopic labelling, which is an area of great economic value. The CO2PERATE research program unites leading expertise in catalysis, organic synthesis, computational modelling, isotopic labelling, process plant development, and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and chemical additives. The research will be complemented by training in transferable skills, including entrepreneurship, patenting, outreach and open science, alongside personally adapted career development, with mentoring, intersectorial exchange, and international mobility.

The Dark Web is a haven for criminals. It has become a forum and marketplace for weapons, drugs, organs, illicit pornography, software exploits, stolen private data, passwords, credit card details, counterfeit products and money. Illegal services are offered, like phishing, cyber-attacks, murder and rape for hire and money laundering. Criminal investigation authorities began to investigate cases of crimes and terrorism in the Dark Web, but struggle to access, handle and analyse the immense amount of data, and urgently need an isolated solution to acquire solid evidence legally applicable in court. For corporations, the potential economic and image damage of cyber-attacks is extensive. They search adequate solutions to acquire cyber threat intelligence, to identify threats, enhance cyber defence and allow a fast and effective response. Up to now, commercial state-of-the-art solutions force users to into 3rd party services or to access crawled data on online clouds. Mh SERVICE developed DAN, a Kiosk solution for darknet analysis. It includes high-performance hardware, pre-installed and pre-configured intuitive software, as well as user training and seminars. The acquired data is isolated from the possibility of foreign access or manipulation by third persons to ensure the chain of evidence for investigation authorities and privacy for companies. During the feasibility study of DAN, we tested the prototype at several customers and now optimise and redesign the DAN to perfectly fulfil the user needs from both segments. With a rapidly growing global threat intelligence market (3.8 bn US$ in 2017, CAGR 2017-22: 18.4%) we conservatively anticipate a turnover of 10M€ for DAN in 2023 and additional 11.3M€ from our existing business. With 25 years’ experience, mh SERVICE GmbH is one of today’s leading providers and suppliers of products and services related to IT forensics. mh is Europe’s only forensics supplier with its own hardware development and manufacturing departments.

This project studies information aggregation in multiple-linked auction markets with large numbers of goods and bidders. Past work assumes bidders trade in a single, centralized, frictionless auction market. Instead, I study bidders with unit demand who decide to purchase one of many possible goods which are on auction in distinct markets. The goods traded in each market are identical, common-value objects and the price is determined by a uniform-price auction. Bidders receive imperfect signals about the state of the world and select to bid in one of the auction markets. The markets differ in institutional structure and therefore frictions. Market frictions result from imperfect competition, government interventions, informational frictions, and preference heterogeneity. All such frictions render the gains from trade uncertain. I address the following questions: How do market frictions affect information aggregation if bidders can strategically choose between markets? What are the mechanisms through which market imperfections disrupt information aggregation? Which market’s price is a better statistic for market participants’ information? Which market attracts better-informed bidders? Do prices aggregate beliefs more accurately in good times or in bad? Initial findings suggest that the proposed framework can prove particularly fruitful in addressing these questions. Specifically, I show if the gains from trade are uncertain in even one market, then prices do not aggregate information in any of the markets. In contrast, if all markets are frictionless, then the price in each market aggregates information. These findings are driven by how bidders self-select across markets: Better-informed bidders select frictional markets while uninformed, pessimistic bidders select the safety of frictionless markets. These findings suggest a novel mechanism through which market imperfections in one market can have widespread effects across all linked markets.

Massive stars are important throughout astrophysics, yet there remain many open questions about how they form. These include: What is the accretion mechanism of massive star formation? What sets the initial mass function of stars, especially at the highest masses? What is the relation of massive star formation to star cluster formation? How do massive star and star cluster formation vary with galactic environment? What was the nature of the first stars to form in the universe and could these have been the seeds for supermassive black holes? With recent advances in both theoretical/computational techniques and observational facilities, the time is now ripe for progress on answering these questions. Here we propose an ambitious research program that combines latest theoretical studies of massive star and star cluster formation, including analytic, semi-analytic and full numerical simulations, with state-of-the-art observational programs, including several large surveys. We will: 1) Develop new theoretical models for how individual massive stars form from gas cores, focusing on diagnostics and including study of how the process depends on galactic environment; 2) Test these protostar models against observations, especially with ALMA, SOFIA, JVLA, HST and in the near future with JWST and eventually TMT & E-ELT; 3) Develop theoretical models for star cluster formation, including both magneto-hydrodynamics of the gas and N-body modeling of the young stellar population, with the focus on how massive stars form and evolve in these systems; 4) Test these protocluster models against observational data of young and still-forming star clusters, especially with ALMA, HST, Chandra, JWST and ground-based near-IR facilities; 5) Explore new theoretical models of how the first stars formed, with potential implications for the origins of supermassive black holes - one of the key unsolved problems in astrophysics.
