Delft Circuits designs, manufactures, and sells disruptive innovative hardware for the quantum and cryogenic industry. IDelft Circuits (DC) designs, manufactures, and sells disruptive innovative hardware for the quantum and cryogenic industry. Its product Cri/oFlex offers a scalable cryogenic input and output (i/o) solutions used by customers around the world. Cri/oFlex controls and reads quantum devices operating at cryogenic temperatures via a flexible substrate (flex), offering superconducting, high-density, high-performance cabling with low thermal load, minimal noise and integrated filters. The quantum industry is booming and aims to capitalize on the huge potential of quantum for all kinds of computing problems, such as AI, machine learning and complex optimization problems. The industry needs to scale from 100+ qubits now to 10k qubits in a few years, increasing the number of i/o channels. As the number of i/o channels continues to grow, the possible points of failure grow with it and costs start to explode as (coaxial) components get smaller. To scale the number of qubits per system, reliability and ease of use need to increase, while costs need to decrease. High-density, low-cost and high-performance interfacing is critical in the 10k-qubit system value chain, but it is currently missing. We can now leverage Cri/oFlex, using all current and proven aspects of Cri/oFlex to solve the interfacing bottleneck with Tuxedo. Tuxedo is an interface between Cri/oFlex and super-conducting pcbs. With Tuxedo, we can achieve the interface for a very high density of signal lines against relatively low costs in a scalable architecture. With Cri/oFlex, DC has extensive experience in developing an innovative product from research to commercially ready and beyond, and DC sees all the potential of Tuxedo to be willing to invest in developing it to become ready for marketing at scale. With support of the EIC, DC can accelerate their development roadmap for Tuxedo effectively.

The HYIHY project investigates how HYbrid Interactions—blending face-to-face, digital, and human-AI communication—reshape social well-being in HYbrid work. To answer this, I propose communication episodes, their quality, and technological context as a unified lens. Through this lens, we can understand how complex sequences of face-to-face, digital, and AI interactions impact our sense of loneliness, connectedness, and community (i.e., social well-being). Ultimately aimed at formulating a Hybrid Interaction Theory (HIT), the project will dramatically move research beyond siloed insights from communication, psychology, human-computer interaction, sociotechnical studies, and public health. Social connection is essential for human health and well-being—and the work domain is essential for adults to feel socially connected. Two interrelated trends currently redefine adults’ social well-being: hybrid work, blending office and remote work, and the increasing digitalization of sociality described by hybrid interactions. UN, EU, UK, and US institutions have voiced serious concerns over a post-pandemic ‘loneliness epidemic’ in this new world of work, yet evidence on how workers can maintain their social well-being is severely limited. Three questions guide this project: (1) How do the various communication episodes in hybrid work shape social well-being? (2) How do digital channels and artificially intelligent (AI) interlocutors moderate these effects? (3) Which beneficial or harmful dynamics between face-to-face, digital, and human-AI communication episodes unfold in workers’ daily lives? To answer these questions and test multiple competing hypotheses, HYIHY combines qualitative, panel, experience sampling, experimental, and computational methods in a comprehensive work program. Informed by my findings, workers and stakeholders in labor unions, industry, and policy are well positioned to design, manage, and regulate hybrid and digitalized sociality in the future of work.

Clinical trials are a key tool for advancing medical knowledge, but they consist of a long and costly process entailing the recruitment of a representative cohort of participants to properly account for the population statistical variability. Computational engineering is a promising approach to gain more insight into patients' cardiac pathologies and to test innovative medical devices before running conclusive in-vivo experiments on animals or medical trials on humans. This technological breakthrough, however, is limited by some technical and epistemic challenges: (i) the reliability of cardiovascular computational models depends on the accurate solution of the hemodynamics coupled with the deforming biologic tissues; (ii) the resulting multi-physics solver requires an immense computational power and long time-to-results; (iii) a great variability among individuals exists, thus calling for a statistical approach. For the first time I will accomplish and employ a computational platform for determining the outcome of pathologies or devices implantation by combining my GPU-accelerated multi-physics solver for the accurate solution of cardiac dynamics with an uncertainty quantification analysis to account for the individuals variability. The input parameters of the computational model will be treated as aleatory variables, whose probability distribution function will be obtained using three-dimensional datasets of cardiac configurations available to the PI's group and acquired in-vivo by the clinical members involved in the project. Simulation campaigns (rather than a single simulation) will be then run in order to sweep the uncertain input distributions and obtain the synthetic population response in the case of selected pathologies like myocardial infarction and the optimal stimulation pattern for cardiac resynchronization therapy. My approach removes the main barrier that keeps up from a systematic use of computational engineering to run in-silico clinical trials.

The use of renewable hydrogen as green fuel and energy storage was deemed key to achieve the European Green Deal. However, its large-scale storage is still facing significant challenges. Measurement inversion via deep learning (DL) is a state-of-the-art approach used for underground storage-site detection and monitoring. However: 1) It requires a huge amount of training data; 2) DL training is expensive, and 3) There are no efficient and reliable DL techniques for multiscale electromagnetic measurement inversion. The goal of GEOLEARN is to guide hydrogen storage technologies by inverting subsurface multiscale electromagnetic measurements in real time using energy-efficient DL methods. For this purpose, GEOLEARN will leverage mixed-precision (MP) computations to maximise energy- and cost-efficiency, and ensure scalability. GEOLEARN proposes to address the above challenges as follows: 1) Develop MP finite element methods (FEMs) that can rapidly generate large training data; 2) Design MP DL algorithms that can efficiently process huge databases during training and invert measurements in real time, and 3) Apply the new techniques to invert multiscale geophysical electromagnetic measurements and guide hydrogen storage. We will collaborate with industry to disseminate the project results and maximise exploitation, and the new methods will lead to high impacts in and outside academia. The host has extensive experience in DL methods for inverse problems in geophysics and FEMs, and already collaborates with relevant companies. The secondment host is expert in high-performance computing and FEMs, and the applicant is expert in MP methods for scientific computing. This multidisciplinary research team is essential for the success of GEOLEARN, and will enhance the applicant's knowledge, network and skills, promoting his future career in research in Europe. The hosts and applicant will mutually benefit from the project outcomes and the industrial and academic collaborations.

Almost all current healthcare systems are based on treating individuals who are already ill, relying on periodic interventions when health is compromised, and health problems hinder normal functioning. This approach is becoming increasingly financially unsustainable, and healthcare funding is in a continuous crisis at a global level. In the field of health promotion, glycans (complex oligosaccharides) have the highest biomarker potential since they integrate genetic, epigenetic and lifestyle factors, making them more similar to complex diseases than any other class of molecules. Researchers in Genos pioneered high-throughput glycomics 15 years ago, which enabled glycomics to become integrated in multiple large epidemiological and clinical studies. Through active participation in multiple EU-funded projects, including 3TR and SYSCID that are formal requirement for this application, researchers in Genos analysed over 200,000 individual glycomes and identified several potential glycan biomarkers. General objective of the SynHealth project is to valorise the potential of these research discoveries (glycan biomarkers) and prepare them for ERDF funding and subsequent exploitation in two Croatian and one Slovenian regions together with the University of Maribor. This will be achieved with the support of past Horizon partners Karolinska Institute and University of Liege. Innovation capacity and technology uptake will be further supported by the dedicated innovation management and technology transfer partner F6S, and GlycanAge SME partner that actively commercialises glycan biomarkers in the general health and wellness sector. Adoption of glycan biomarkers for personalised preventive healthcare will be demonstrated in real world setting and supported through a network of partners in the region. This will all prepare discoveries from past Horizon projects (glycan biomarkers) for future translation into clinical diagnostic biomarkers through support of ERDF funding.

Policies in developing countries that seek to fight hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture (a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal), face considerable obstacles when confronted with disruptions of their staple food production and trade. Disruptions such as climate change along with inter-state conflicts, e.g., the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, have weakened developing countries’ staple food yields, supply, and trade flows. For trade in particular, challenges include physical trade disruptions of agricultural outputs, as well as inputs, particularly in more vulnerable regions. These disruptions are often followed by government trade interventions. A critical dimension of food risk and security is staple food trade dependencies between countries. Such dependencies occur both directly, in terms of regional food security, and indirectly increase migration as well as gender vulnerabilities. Indirect dependencies emerge from the complex web of trade relationships in which a country's access to staple foods relies not only on direct imports from producing nations but also on re-exports facilitated by intermediary countries. In the case of disruption shocks, such a trade system may expose importing countries to vulnerabilities at various intermediary points. For example, the Russian-Ukraine war has exposed the vulnerability of countries directly importing staple foods and fertilizers from the two countries, but also heavily affected countries that rely on the re-export of staple foods. The project F-TRADEMARK aims to measure the vulnerability of nations’ food systems resilience based on global trade data from 1986 – 2020 using network-based assessment tools. Moreover, the future of staple food and fertilizer trade dependence will be predicted under different short-term and long-term shocks up to the year 2100.

ECHO consolidates the existing academic excellence and creates new synergies in the Eastern Baltics by bringing together humanitarian scholars (archaeologists, historians), natural scientists (geneticists, bioinformaticians) and experts from the intersection of those disciplines (anthropologists) from the region to enhance and promote research in the human past within the interdisciplinary framework. The motivation of the ECHO is to understand the processes behind the current diversity of peoples and cultures, the role and mutual interaction of demographic developments and environmental changes in those processes, and to share this knowledge with society. The ECHO's pan-Eastern Baltic network of archaeogenomic research will link the resources of the three Baltic countries – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – to conduct internationally competitive research on the human past. Within ECHO, the knowledge of state-of-the-art analytical tools and interdisciplinary project and data management skills, transferred from advanced EU partners, will be tested for addressing timely questions about the human past, with the focus on currently understudied local evolutionary developments during the post-Bronze Age period in the Eastern Baltic region. The synergistic science conducted within ECHO will help to increase the visibility of the research done in the Eastern Baltic region on the human past at both European and global scales and to contribute to the common knowledge about the processes that have shaped the present diversity of human populations in the Eastern Baltic region, in the spatiotemporal context of Europe. ECHO will contribute to sustainable interdisciplinary research on archaeogenomics in the Eastern Baltics, supported by the consolidated network of regional research centres, enhanced concepts and enriched methodology.
