The main objective of SOCRATIC is to facilitate a platform so citizens and/or organisations can collaboratively identify specific innovative solutions for achieving the desired Global Sustainability Goals, as defined by the United Nations. The platform will allow individuals, collectives, institutions, companies or Administration to: (1) propose new challenges oriented to solve specific sustainability issues; (2) invite individuals or organizations to participate with innovative ideas that solve these issues; (3) collectively select and implement the most promising ideas. SOCRATIC will also implement a Global Observatory on Sustainability Challenges with a double objective: (1) Measuring the impact of SOCRATIC actions on Global Sustainability Challenges by monitoring social networks, (2) Using the data about Global Sustainability Challenges gathered in social media as a source of information to launch challenges in the SOCRATIC platform. The SOCRATIC project has a deep user-centric approach, implementing gamification techniques to engage users in the sustained use of the platform. The project involves one European NGO (CiberVoluntarios) and a group of Young Social Innovators from the “Experts in Team” program of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU-EiT). Both collectives perform actions in different fields, but with a common tool, the use of IT to empower citizens and achieve specific sustainability goals. The pilots will be initially focused on three specific challenges: “Ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages (UN´s Goal 3)”, “Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all (UN’s Goal 4)”, and “Promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all (UN’s Goal 8)”.

The discovery of Mimivirus, the first icosahedral virus visible by light microscopy, was followed by the characterization of many other relatives. Its aquatic relative Megavirus chilensis, has a 1.2 Mb genome and encodes more than 1000 proteins, 2/3 unique to the Mimiviridae. Their infectious cycle is cytoplasmic. During the last 10 years, my laboratory discovered three other giant virus families: -the pandoraviridae, with their unique amphora-shaped 1µm long virion morphologies, genome sizes reaching 3Mb and encoding thousands of proteins, most of which without homologues in the cellular or the viral world – the mollivirus, which was isolated from a 30,000 years old Siberian permafrost sample, presents common features with the pandoraviruses. They share 60 unique genes and the roughly spherical (0.6µm) mollivirions present an external tegument resembling the pandoravirions. Both viruses have an early nuclear phase – the pithovirus, despite its amphora-shaped virions, has a fully cytoplasmic cycle. Our work raised questions on the origin of these intriguing viral families and their position in the tree of life. My project is unique as it will address the coevolution of these viruses and their amoebal hosts by focusing on specific features of the virions in two overall aims. 1) Promising preliminary results led us to hypothesize that a progressive transition from the rigid icosahedral virions to the more plastic amphora-shaped particles was made possible through hijacking of the host cellulose synthesis pathway by the ancestor of pandoraviruses. 2) The icosahedral mimivirus package its genome in a complex rod-shaped structure. My team will investigate this structure to unveil possible evolutionary links with the genome packaging systems in the cellular world. We will characterize the machinery responsible for such organization. These two high-risk/high-gain aims will continue to revisit the concept of virus and their evolutionary trajectory in the living world.

DELTA aims to develop and execute innovative experimental testing procedures for thermoplastic resin based carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) aircraft fuselage panels. Based on test procedures applying representative stress states of the real loading cases to which fuselage is subjected at sub-component level, and single loading conditions at the level of structural details. The outcomes of this project will enable the validation of this concept design and out-of-autoclave manufacturing process proposed for a composite material with thermoplastic polymer matrix. Ultimately, validation of this structure will contribute to increase maturity level of multifunctional fuselage demonstrator pursued by LPA IADP Platform 2. Composite material characterization has the particularity that the properties of the material are not only affected by the raw material but also highly influenced by the manufacturing process. Validation of this structure will contribute to increase maturity level of multifunctional fuselage demonstrator. A test campaign will be defined and executed following Building Block Approach from structural details up to subcomponent level. First, key material properties will be obtained through low-complexity level tests. Then, a curved panel test system which allows to apply combined loading representative of aircraft in-service life conditions will be used. Innovative tooling solutions will be incorporated in the design of the panel interfaces which will be optimized through FEM simulations developed to assess the influence of the tooling on the load redistribution that occurs during the test execution. The test system enables a high level of accuracy while offering flexibility, as well as a reduction of costs and lead times. The intended testing campaign at the subcomponent level will allow TRL 6 demonstration, by applying coupled and uncoupled load states (e.g. pure compression, compression plus internal pressure).

This proposal joins three themes around tropical arithmetics: WP1. Tropical methods in game theory. Mean payoff games form an interesting class in complexity theory since they are known to be in NP, but it is not known whether they can be solved in polynomial time. Our objective is to use tropical operators for the development of new and fast algorithms to solve mean payoff games. In addition, we search for strategies to establish a polynomial time algorithm. WP2. Tropical structures for matroids. In a recent paper, we have introduced a novel approach to study matroid representation in terms of a new algebraic structure: the representation theory of the matroid is completely controlled by its "foundation". Our objective is to continue this powerful theory by broadening the foundations and developing computational tools to determine the foundation of a matroid. Additionally, we aim for an understanding of foundations of 3-connected matroid, which conjecturally reveals a deep connectivity property for the foundation. (3) Tropical Riemann-Roch. The tropical Riemann-Roch theorem has found important applications in Brill-Noether theory. Up to date, this theorem is a purely combinatorial statement about graphs. Our objective is to use the richer structure of tropical scheme to develop a cohomological understanding and proof of the Riemann-Roch theorem. This involves the development of sheaf cohomology and etale morphisms for tropical schemes and an understanding of Berkovich skeleta as tropical schemes. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this proposal (game theory and matroids form a part of computer science, our methods stem from a mathematical background), we chose Groningen as a basis to perform this proposal. The Bernoulli Institute in Groningen merges Mathematics and Computer Science in one departent, with three additional centers AI, CDSS and CogniGron. Moreover the BI hosts virtually all tropical geometers of the Netherlands.

In the last few years genome-wide association studies have revealed thousands of genetic variants associated to immune-mediated diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. Although it is evident that non-genetic factors can also trigger these diseases, presumably by interacting with the risk SNPs, we do not know what these factors are or how they affect risk-SNPs. I hypothesize that environmental factors that increase disease risk also mediate the downstream molecular effects of disease-associated genetic variants. Since I am able to identify the downstream molecular effects of many risk-SNPs, and can identify molecular pathways regulated by specific exogenous factors like viral, bacterial or fungal stimuli, I now propose to combine these two approaches into a new analytical framework that will allow me to identify some of the exogenous factors that interact with risk-SNPs and together predispose to immune-mediated diseases. My aim is to determine how exogenous triggers alter molecular pathways that are critical in immune-mediated diseases. For this we will generate single-cell RNA-seq data on white blood cells from 100 individuals (~1,000 cells per person) and conduct expression QTL analyses. We will then use this information to identify exogenous risk factors for immune-mediated diseases by re-analysing public RNA-seq data from >20,000 samples generated in the presence and absence of different (disease) stimuli. This project is given direction by three developments by my research group: (1) our collection and integration of large functional genomics datasets, (2) our ability to develop computational frameworks for identifying the downstream consequences of SNPs using such datasets, and (3) my methodology to identify context-specific eQTLs. This research will improve insight into the complex interplay between risk-SNPs and exogenous factors in modulating the molecular pathways that are crucial for the development of immune-mediated diseases.

The migration of the global population to urban areas has strained the resources of cities worldwide. To address these challenges governments are turning to Smart Cities to provide sustainable infrastructure that meets the needs of citizens. The smart city industry is projected to reach 1.56 $ trillion by 2020. Smart city initiatives are focussing on smart parking systems to enhance regulated parking spots with occupancy sensors that provide additional features & services to parking management companies as well as drivers by reducing time spent looking for parking, traffic and CO2 emissions. Monitored parking spaces will be a global emerging market by 2020 when 1% of on-street parking spaces will be controlled. The European Parking Association estimates that there are 12M parking spaces available for smart parking (in European cities with more than 20K habitants). As a result, they estimate that there are an additional 190M spaces likely to become regulated in the near future, equalling a huge potential market for Fastprk-2 in Europe alone.

Technological advances in high performance computing are creating exciting new opportunities that move well beyond improving the precision of simulation models. The use of extreme computing in real-time applications with high velocity data and live analytics is within reach. The availability of fast growing social and sensor networks raise new possibilities in monitoring, assessing and predicting environmental, social and economic incidents as they happen. Add in grand challenges in data fusion, analysis and visualization, and extreme computing hardware has an increasingly essential role in enabling efficient processing workflows for huge heterogeneous data streams. VESTEC will create the software solutions needed to realise this vision for urgent decision making in various fields with high impact for the European community. VESTEC will build a flexible toolchain to combine multiple data sources, efficiently extract essential features, enable flexible scheduling and interactive supercomputing, and realise 3D visualization environments for interactive explorations by stakeholders and decision makers. VESTEC will develop and evaluate methods and interfaces to integrate high-performance data analytics processes into running simulations and real-time data environments. Interactive ensemble management will launch new simulations for new data, building up statistically more and more accurate pictures of emerging, time-critical phenomena. Innovative data compression approaches, based on topological feature extraction and data sampling, will result in considerable reductions in storage and processing demands by discarding domain-irrelevant data. Three emerging use cases will demonstrate the immense benefit for urgent decision making: wildfire monitoring and forecasting; analysis of risk associated with mosquito-borne diseases; and the effects of space weather on technical supply chains. VESTEC brings together experts in each domain to address the challenges holistically.
