In the current complex socio-economic situation, European producers face challenges posed by a growing scarcity of raw materials and goods, fluctuating costs and unpredictable delivery times. According to the EU agenda, they must contribute to reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing processes to prevent climate change and to achieve zero carbon emissions. Thus, the only sustainable option is to rethink the Life Cycle of goods and search for new approaches to give new life to End of Life (EoL) products. Grounding on this vision, the RemaNet project aims to enable a widespread diffusion of the concepts of remanufacturing, recycling, material saving and functional upgrading by implementing a factory-integrated digital platform able to extend the remanufacturing value chain. The main project goal is to establish a new remanufacturing business model by creating a community where different actors can make available their specific know-how and contribute to any step of the remanufacturing process. To achieve this goal, multiple digital tools will be developed on the RemaNet digital platform. Horizontal tools will help matching supply and demand, also providing secure data sharing to spread the needed competences in terms of human resources or digitized formalized knowledge. Vertical tools will enable the integration of shopfloor and process data with advanced tools for monitoring, prognostics and full traceability of material and information flows as well as cutting edge remanufacturing technologies. The digital platform will provide a standard for manufacturing and re-manufacturing with an integrated and easy-to-use infrastructure fostering a reliable and secure data flow, access, and use at all levels, from shopfloor and further along the value chain. The proposed business model and digital solutions will be validated in five use cases ranging from automotive to mold and dies, and to the energy sector and its decarbonization.

The rise of drug-resistant bacteria necessitates the development of alternative therapies that can specifically target and eliminate these pathogens while minimizing harm to the patient's microbiome. Bacteriophages (phages) are potent therapeutics that can fight multidrugresistant pathogenic bacteria. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, phages can selectively eliminate bacteria. However, the current production processes for phages pose considerable biosafety concerns and are often relatively inefficient, unreliable, and unscalable. Invitris has fundamentally transformed the way phages can be developed with its unique in vitro platform technology, Phactory™. For the first time, Phactory™ enables scalable, personalized production and rapid engineering of novel drugs based on phages. We aim to leverage the support by EIC to standardize the clinical production process of Phactory™ and conduct clinical trials to validate the efficacy and safety of novel phage-based therapies.

The beneficial links between biodiversity and agriculture have not yet been adequately communicated to farmers and foresters, thereby creating reluctance in the uptake of biodiversity-friendly farming (BFF) practices, including in Natura 2000 sites. FarmBioNet will address this knowledge gap in European farming and forestry. The FarmBioNet consortium combines the expertise of natural and social scientists, farmer organisations, SMEs, NGOs, businesses, and Ministries in 13 countries (11 member states). FarmBioNet will promote Europe-wide knowledge exchange and integration of research findings and practices related to farmland biodiversity, especially inside Natura 2000 sites, including those relevant to climate change mitigation/adaptation and soil health. It will evaluate and refine measures, and develop and use cross-sectoral approaches, to collect and distribute, at national and European level, easily accessible, practice-oriented, and context specific knowledge on BFF practices. Central to FarmBioNet is the establishment of Farming and Biodiversity National Networks (NNs), consisting of farmer/forester individuals and organisations, researchers, NGOs, advisors, and other relevant AKIS actors. FarmBioNet will use these NNs to gather and disseminate knowledge and information. NNs will use BFF case-study areas to promote exchange of traditional and evidence-based actions that benefit farm biodiversity, through a co-creation and cross-fertilisation process. Cost-benefit analyses, showing how biodiversity can benefit sustainable food production, and development of practical decision-making tools will promote biodiversity with farmers and foresters, and local, regional and national policy makers. FarmBioNet aims to position Europe as a global leader for biodiversity-friendly farmland management practices, harnessing knowledge to protect biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides, which are vital to sustainable land management and bring wider societal benefits.

The IntegrAMR project aims at unravelling a widespread DNA integration process that plays a critical role in the propagation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In alignment with the societal needs, the project will focus on a pathogen ranked as a high priority by the CDC and WHO, Acinetobacter baumannii. This pathogen is capable of natural transformation, a process allowing bacteria to take up exogeneous DNA for incorporation in their own genome. By unravelling the molecular mechanisms of DNA integration during natural transformation, this study will address how this conserved recombination process can alternatively favor or counteract the spread of AMR islands. This knowledge is crucial to understand how bacterial populations evolve and adapt rapidly to clinical treatments. The research will use a multiscale approach, from structural molecular biology to single-cell and multicellular systems. It will use customized next-generation sequencing, genetics, microscopy and mathematical modeling. To complement the scientific work, the project includes training and communication activities. Open access practices implemented in the dissemination of the results will maximize impact. This work will contribute to the global fight against AMR, advancing molecular microbiology, and fostering responsible research practices. The outcomes will not only enhance scientific understanding but also support the development of new strategies for AMR surveillance, benefiting both the scientific community and public health. Overall, the project will allow the candidate to pursue their desired career perspectives and apply to teaching or R&D positions, where microbiology and genomics expertise are in demand.

Chalcogenide Perovskites (CPs) have an enormous potential for Photovoltaics (PV). They have a high absorption coefficient and direct, tunable bandgap range of 1.45 - 2.2eV, complementing Si solar cells. Moreover, CPs are composed of earth-abundant and nontoxic elements and have high thermal stability when exposed to air and humidity. However, no working CP-based solar cells have been reported due to their very high synthesis temperatures in a sulfur-reach environment. Realizing the potential of efficient and nontoxic CP-based solar cells currently faces two main challenges: the high synthesis temperature and the lack of control over doping. The overall goal of my project is to make CPs into photovoltaic absorbers by developing synthetic routes that provide highly crystalline thin films below temperatures of 500 C and controlling their doping levels. To address these two missions, I will use a one-of-a-kind suite of thin-film deposition systems at my host institution (DTU Denmark). The system is dedicated to high throughput synthesis of sulfides with air-free transfer between three film processing tools. I will use combinatorial methods to systematically study the effect of changing elemental composition, chemical potentials, and process parameters on the crystallization temperature. After depositing high-quality thin film at lower temperatures, I will use the unique possibilities to control the charge carriers concentration in the CPs thin films at the host lab by incorporating various extrinsic dopants. The wide use of combinatorial synthesis and high throughput characterization in this research will bring substantial, high-quality data for machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) purposes. Depositing CPs on TCOs can pave the way for a new kind of stable and nontoxic solar cells with moderate production costs.

Over the past 2 decades, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has exponentially increased toward complete automation of structural inspection and assessment tasks. This trend will continue to rise in image processing as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and the internet of things (IoT) markets are expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 57.5% and 26%, respectively, from 2021 to 2028. It is generally accepted that AI will drive the next revolution in autonomous inspection and health monitoring of civil infrastructure. The possibility of complete automation of the inspection process resulted in a lot of attention from the scientific community leading to a plethora of research in this area. FOURIER intends to establish a network of individual research projects working towards breaking through and innovative system state monitoring (stm) techniques – via the use of AI for large-scale autonomous systemic monitoring, inspection and proactive testing including respective explicit identification of information gaps and uncertainties (information quality) of Complex Engineering Systems to improve their resilience against failures, accidents, sabotage, disruptions and disasters. The objective of FOURIER is to offer innovative research training as well as knowledge exchange opportunities for Doctoral Candidates (DCs) through cross-border and cross-sector mobility for future growth in Europe. FOURIER is an inter/multi-disciplinary and intersectoral programme as it includes seven academic partners, three research centers and seven private companies and two end users from seven different European countries.

Recent innovations in Digital Agriculture (DA) gather and analyze real-time data on plant conditions and aim to assist growers in making more efficient decisions regarding water usage, fertilizers, and pesticides. Proponents of DA argue that these advancements will foster sustainable agricultural practices. However, assessments of these claims have been primarily quantitative. In contrast, DIGIPHYT proposes a qualitative investigation into the relationship between sustainability claims and sustainable practices in assisted plant cultivation. This project will employ ethnographic and video-based methods to examine specific cases of DA innovations. It will observe the daily activities of developers and users to understand the roles of humans, plants, and DA devices in defining sustainable actions in agriculture to understand sustainability as defined from the ground-up. By taking sustainability claims seriously and examining their potential implementation in practice (O1), as well as documenting the agency of previously overlooked actors like plants and digital devices (O2), DIGIPHYT aims to comprehend how DA's sustainability claims intersect with specific notions of agency and responsibility in carrying out sustainable actions. DIGIPHYT contributes to both social scientific research and broader societal interests by investigating the practical interpretations and definitions of sustainability proposed around DA innovations.

Maxwell solvers are widely used in science and industry for the design and analysis of photonic devices, radio frequency electronics, integrated circuits, antennas, metamaterials, and more. Unfortunately, solving Max-well’s equations for complex structures is extremely computationally intensive. In the ERC funded research project DEEP VISION, we discovered a new approach to solve Maxwell's equations much faster (a factor 2000) and more accurate (a factor 10 at least) than conventional methods. In this proof of concept project, we will perform the necessary research and development to come from these promising results to a minimum viable product that can be used by academia and industry. We gather a group of early adopters, implement feedback from these users, and investigate different revenue models for the software, all in preparation of commercializing the software.

Achieving extensive laminar flow can reduce aircraft drag by up to 15%, offering breakthrough potential for curbing polluting emissions in aviation and other energy-intensive sectors. To achieve this, wave-like flow instabilities growing in laminar boundary layers need to be controlled and attenuated, to delay transition from laminar to turbulent flow. However, their complex, multi-scale, and broadband nature makes these instabilities extremely challenging to control. In MetaWing I propose a new disruptive concept for flow control, first born in classical wave physics: Metamaterials. These are engineered composite structures, invoking dispersive wave phenomena to gain exotic properties that go beyond what is considered possible in Nature. The main such property I want to explore is the bandgap, a range in which waves are suppressed when interacting with the Metamaterial. My team and I have recently found key evidence of dispersive wave suppression in boundary layers. However, wave-like flow instabilities have key differences from classical waves, forming a new regime of dispersive wave interactions. Thus, the nature of bandgaps in boundary layer flows remains unclear and unexplored. I aim to reveal and understand the formation of bandgaps in transitional fluid flows and use them to suppress wave-like boundary layer instabilities, thus delaying laminar-turbulent transition. To achieve this, I propose the first holistic intersection of Metamaterials and Laminar Flow Control using theory, numerical simulations, novel fabrication methods and state-of-art experimental measurements. The combined results will uncover the complex dynamic behaviour of flow instabilities under dispersive interaction with Metamaterials and will help us understand and fully exploit bandgap mechanisms in transitional flows. MetaWing will create a new class of Metamaterials for flow control and pave the way to ultra-low drag wings for the next generation of emission-free aviation.
