Today, cardiac surgeons and cardiologists are guided by 2D X-ray and echo information that is completely uncorrelated to the patient's preoperative 3D anatomy. Current image fusion techniques fail because they do not provide true 3D immersive visualisation of complex patient-specific data, making procedures long, complex and critical in some conditions. This problem is even more pressing for young surgeons and for new implantation techniques/devices on the market, as these require a long and very complex series of manoeuvres to be performed under standard X-ray or echo guidance, with implications for procedure time (up to 3-4 times standard PCI) and complication rates (up to 6 times standard PCI).

Artiness is committed to providing the next generation of patient-specific 3D holographic platform for planning and guidance in minimally invasive therapy. Recognising the existing gap between pre-procedural planning and intra-procedural execution, we are building the most intuitive, easy-to-use 3D software platform powered by Mixed Reality that provides a unique visualisation system for pre-procedural planning and intra-operative guidance to achieve optimal device positioning and implantation during structural heart procedures.

NET-ROL: ‘Networks and the Rule of Law: Uncovering Socio-Economic Outcomes’ is an innovative, multi-disciplinary collaborative research project of institutions from 8 countries (Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland) and scholars from different disciplines and sub-disciplines (economics, law, political science, network science). NET-ROL develops a conceptual framework theorizing the positive or negative role of networks impacting rule of law and socio-economic outcomes. It generates large-scale, historical and contemporary datasets relevant to the study of rule of law: on values and social norms, legislation, public spending and personal connections, judicial governance and decision-making. The approach to rule of law emphasizes the role of citizens, exploring networked coordination as a mechanism to halt weakening of rule of law. Building on EU’s definition of rule of law, NET-ROL analyzes networks in law-making, executive decision-making and the judiciary. For the judiciary, NET-ROL maps the interaction of rule of law and concentration of powers, analyzing the effect on formal and informal judicial and prosecutorial independence. Using state-of-the-art data techniques such as causal machine learning and multi-layer network analysis, the project generates original knowledge on causes of rule of law weakening and the impact on socio-economic outcomes such as growth, inequality, and trust. The project’s innovative character stems from: · The broad and multi-disciplinary perspective on rule of law. · The integration of different approaches studying the impact of networks on public goods. · The gathering and analysis of new, actionable datasets. · The use of innovative data science, econometric, network and text analysis techniques. · The exploration of the conditions under which citizens defend the rule of law. · The design of interventions supporting rule of law based on experimental data and input from stakeholders.

Batteries are a major driving force behind EU’s goal to be climate neutral by 2050–with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. However, all batteries suffer from severe performance and safety challenges (fire and explosion) and fast-charging limitations due to two fundamental challenges:1) The complex and uncontrollable microscopic electron and ion interactions at dynamic interfaces; 2) The highly in-homogeneous electric field inside the battery cell that leads to chaotic carrier migration. In this project, I tackle these problems by developing a quantum super-exchange energy storage platform (QUEEN), which enables atomically precise fabrication of 2D hybrid nanomaterials effectively transforming them into programable matter. In QUEEN, my aim is 1) Developing a quantum arc pen electro pulse lithography (Q-ARC) technique including a nanoscale “pen” (ARC-PEN) with uniquely modified tips (special gas inlets/outlets) to remove/replace targeted atoms with great precision. 2) Using Q-ARC techniques, investigating novel patterns to fabricate an in-plane hybrid 2D material system with band gap engineering, Coulomb blockage and ballistic transport. 3) Leveraging QUEEN’s near atom-by-atom fabrication, to create an in-situ testing platform to investigate quantum phenomena at complex interfaces. QUEEN will enable the development of superior battery architectures with i) precise and programmable control carrier transport, ii) groundbreakingly thin battery operation distances (2nm-5nm between anode and cathode), iii) very high mobility/instantaneous ion transport, iv) blueprint for extra charge storage mechanism. My multidisciplinary background in advanced device engineering and physics will enable me to accomplish the ambitious goals of this project, which will transform battery technology going well beyond the state of art by introducing control to carrier dynamics. Furthermore, QUEEN unlocks the potential for 2D materials in areas like biology, flexible electronics and spintronic.

ECHOINGWARS will study how variations in war narratives develop within a globally dispersed community and impact the conflict through feedback mechanisms. While communities directly experiencing war and those in exile are usually studied separately (conflict studies and refugee studies), it is crucial to consider these globally dispersed communities as interconnected and key actors in the construction of war narratives. However, these communities experience narrative variations based on their location, encompassing both similarities and differences. The project's originality lies in viewing these narrative variations as essential to understanding their potential impact on the conflicts themselves. The project will focus on three specific objectives: (1) The historiography of contested ethnic naming; (2) The memory of past violence in the landscape; and (3) The influence of intergenerational conflicts on politicization. A fourth, transversal objective will examine the feedback mechanisms between variations in the war narratives of globally dispersed communities and the conflict justifications presented by key political officials. The study will focus on wars in the African Great Lakes region, specifically those involving the pastoral Banyamulenge community. This case was chosen for three reasons: (1) Due to colonization, this community is a border population; (2) Due to past conflicts, this community has become globally dispersed; and (3) In a context of ongoing wars in the GLR, this community has shifted from a marginal to a central position in the discourses of key political officials. By integrating an outstanding international research environment and developing a tailored training program, I will qualify as a leading researcher in a new and promising field at the crossroads of political anthropology and conflict studies. Additionally, I will gain new writing, communication, and management skills, enabling me to achieve professional excellence and independence.

While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the mainstay in drug development, approval, and reimbursement, the potential of real world data (RWD) to contribute to the understanding of drug effects is increasingly realized. Evidence, based on RWD – real world evidence (RWE) - can contribute significantly to the evidence to support decision making throughout all phases of (clinical) drug development, as well as improve efficiency in design and conduct of clinical trial programs. The aim of this project is to develop, implement and establish evidentiary standards and methods to address the data and evidentiary needs of regulatory authorities and HTA bodies towards a more efficient use of RWD for the development, registration and assessment of medicinal products in Europe (More-EUROPA).

Biotechnology develops and applies microorganisms for the production of bioproducts with industrial interest. Next-generation-sequencing (NGS) plays an increasingly important role in improving and accelerating microbial strain development for existing and novel bioproducts via screening, gene and pathway discovery, metabolic engineering and additional optimization and understanding of large-scale manufacturing. NGS technologies have become main stream due to an important reduction in costs and an increase in sequence quality. However, data analysis still requires substantial bioinformatics expertise and adaptation to specific purposes due to the large datasets, data management and infrastructure supporting an NGS research facility. These challenges are particularly relevant in the research centers of the widening countries such as the case of the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax (CBS) in Tunisia. In line with EU orientations and twinning requirements, NGS-4-ECOPROD aims to: (i) improve creativity, excellence capacity, and resources, (ii) raise the reputation, research profile, and attractiveness, and (iii) strength research management capacities and administrative skills in the CBS, through addressing the existing gaps in the field of NGS. NGS-4-ECOPROD project will allow CBS to exploit its NGS platform to develop original biotechnology products (extremozymes, sporeless biopesticides, antioxidant-ergothioneine, and bioplastics) useful as eco-friendly alternative to chemicals ones. This will be achieved thanks to the tight collaboration and networking activities (staff exchanges, workshops, conferences, training young researchers, and summer school activities) between the CBS and two leading well renowned research EU Partners in the field of NGS namely the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France and the Georg August University of Göttingen in Germany. The NGS-4-ECOPROD will ultimately adopt an integrated communication and dissemination strategy with openness on the socio-economic sectors.

CHAMPION aims to develop a rapid, point-of-need (PON) diagnostic kit for the detection of Noroviruses (NoV), one of the leading causes of foodborne infectious disease outbreaks. The main motivations to perform this work is to provide an easy-to-use, economically convenient and standardized NoV diagnostic kit with high specificity and sensitivity Currently, the most effective protocol is the real time PCR (RT-PCR) for the detection of NoV from food matrices. However, RT-PCR assays are designed for use in well-equipped laboratories with sophisticated laboratory infrastructure and highly trained technicians, and are unsuitable for use in limited infrastructure of or in the field. The CHAMPION aims to facilitates and development of, rapid and non-enzymatic nucleic acid amplification system employing catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction coupled with a paper strip that can detect NoV from food matrices. Thus, the CHAMPION incorporates the pre-concentration, CHA signal amplification, specific detection and signal visualization in a single miniaturized device. Thus, it can be anticipated that the long-term outcomes of the proposed work will deliver a novel, accurate, rapid and reliable diagnostic assay for the detection of NoV.

RES-Q+ will build on the success of RES-Q (REgistry of Stroke Care Quality) - currently, used by many EU countries and 74 worldwide - to improve stroke care quality by collecting and analyzing hospital discharge reports. RES-Q+ will revolutionize these improvements by capturing the whole patient pathway. The solution will combine NLP with a clinically-validated semantic model to automate ingestion of hospital discharge reports in different languages and assist with audit and feedback. This will include creating a standard model for such reports and using AI to impute missing data. Further augmentations include the creation of two novel AI voice assistants, one to help patients provide feedback on their health and the other to help physicians provide high quality care. We will integrate all these tools into RES-Q+. This will be the basis for a European Open Stroke Data Platform, an open research platform for data aggregation, semantic harmonization and interoperability across European countries to promote the use and re-use of health data. We will facilitate efforts to define a standard European Stroke Hospital Discharge Report Exchange Format as a tool for better secondary use of data and healthcare in general. Consortium legal partners will develop a comprehensive legal and ethical toolbox as guidance towards legal compliance. This will boost wider adoption of such novel AI-based solutions by integrating all current and proposed Union legislation. Our clinical partners will provide medical records and steer the development to maximize clinical utility and validate final solutions. RES-Q+ will be deployed globally to solidify our position as European and global leader in quality improvement. Eventually we will guarantee citizens a similar level of quality control during hospitalizations as when flying in a commercial plane.
