UPTIME will seek to reframe predictive maintenance strategy by proposing a unified framework and to create an associated unified information system in alignment to the aforementioned framework. Therefore, UPTIME will extend and unify new digital, e-maintenance services and tools in order to exploit the full potential of a predictive maintenance strategy with the UPTIME solution, will deploy and validate the UPTIME solution in the manufacturing companies participating in the UPTIME consortium and will diffuse the UPTIME solution in the manufacturing community. UPTIME will enable manufacturing companies having installed sensors to fully exploit the availability of huge amounts of data with respect to the implementation of a predictive maintenance strategy. Moreover, production, quality and logistics operations driven by predictive maintenance will benefit from UPTIME. UPTIME will enable manufacturing companies to reach Gartner’s level 4 of data analytics maturity (“optimized decision-making”) in order to improve physically-based models and to synchronise maintenance with quality management, production planning and logistics options. In this way, it will optimize in-service efficiency through reduced failure rates and downtime due to repair, unplanned plant/production system outages and extension of component life. Moreover, it will contribute to increased accident mitigation capability since it will be able to avoid crucial breakdown with significant consequences. Consequently, UPTIME will exploit the full potential of predictive maintenance management and its interactions with other industrial operations by investigating a unified methodology and by implementing a unified information system addressing the predictive maintenance strategy.

The Objective of this Project is to assess market, financial, organisational and technical feasibility of Eredetio – a comprehensive, convenient and easy erectile dysfunction diagnostic and treatment monitoring device that can be used at home, anytime, at affordable price. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterized by incapability to build up or sustain a penile erection during sexual intercourse. It affects up to 52% of men aged 40-70 years. As for the men under 40, they represent 25% of all ED cases, with almost 50% of the young men complaining of severe ED. The causes of ED can be organic (physical), psychological, or both. Therefore reliable diagnostics are needed in order to assign proper treatment (psychotherapy, medicines etc.) Nowadays, all diagnostic methods are associated with visiting a physician. However in many cases men are embarrassed to go to the physician or they reject the problem until it creates serious issues with their health, relationship and life. Very often men try to “cure” the ED by using counterfeit drugs or widely advertised supplements that not only do not actually solve the problem but can cause harm. Eredetio is a one-stop solution to the ED problem which can be used by the patients in their homes. Eredetio device will conveniently measure duration and rigidity of the erection during intercourse, and if erection sufficient for intercourse is not achievable for the patient, then it would measure the duration and rigidity of patient’s nocturnal erections. Eredetio device is a small, cheap and it provides reliable data about patient’s erection. Data obtained will be stored and analysed in patient’s phone (by a dedicated Eredetio app) and could be either shown to the physician, securely sent to the physician or analysed by the physicians hired by Lovely Fun sp. z o. o. who would provide diagnosis and treatment through telemedicine means of communications.

Fishing fleets must handle great amounts of fish as fast as possible to prevent deterioration of quality, assess catch’s worth, prepare next processing and marketing steps, and report catch to the authorities. Today, this labour-intensive, time-consuming and subjective process is conducted by fishermen. By speeding up the onboard grading process and unleashing the potential of real-time data, SEASCANN is a game-changer for the fish value chain: fully automatic, it provides a high throughput (1 fish per second), saves 35% labour costs, and yields a high-quality product avoiding almost 100% of post-harvesting loss. With SEASCANN, Skaginn delivers an automated vision system that sorts large quantities of fish based on species, size and quality, increasing quality and value. SEASCANN also makes real-time catch information available for fishing companies, processors, researchers & authorities, assisting decision-making at several levels. SEASCANN enables fisheries turn from single- to more sustainable multi-specific businesses, and benefits society by collecting reliable fisheries-related data. While two prototypes have been already implemented in vessels, the objectives now are to achieve a completely-automatic solution with accuracy of 99% for seven North-Atlantic species (cod, haddock, pollock, hake, mackerel, herring), with data being transferred in real-time to standardised databases. The solution will be improved to meet the industry demands of compactness, scalability and suitability for vessels’ retrofits.

The recent trends of mass customization of products and lean approaches impacts production by a drastic reduction of production lot sizes. However, traditional automation and robotics fail to be competitive in such a context since all individual product variant would require a complete automation project. In addition, keeping up with the introduction of robots outside of the traditional sectors require to automate much more complex manual tasks, where again traditional robotics automation fails to provide a good ratio of cost vs robustness, mainly due to the rigidity of existing production equipment in terms of programming and tools The overall objective of the project is to provide a bridge for transferring, demonstrating and validating the latest R&D results in robotics towards different industrial environments proving their applicability and effectiveness. More specifically, VERSATILE will apply dual arm robots in executing complex tasks that are traditionally assigned to humans due to their manipulation requirements. By providing the tools to quickly setup, program and operate innovative robotic systems the end user will have robotic cells flexible enough to automatically adapt to the high number of products variants. In this context the project will focus on advancing the TRL level of the latest developments in the areas of: - Perception for Operation in semi-structured environment - Easy Programming framework to improve the re-configurability/ programmability of the robotic systems - Mobile dual-arm robotics manipulation capabilities - Open frameworks for the ‘Plug and Produce’ based coordination of these resources This will be investigated in three industry driven use cases including both static and mobile dual arm robots. The project will focus on three main applications: - Automotive: assembly of vehicle dashboards at PSA - Aerospace: assembly of aircraft wing parts at AIRBUS - Consumer goods: handling and packaging of shaver handles at BIC

Tumour immune-therapy has made dramatic improvements in recent years, saving the lives of cancer patients who just a few years ago would have been considered untreatable. It thereby became apparent that one specific type of immune cell, so called regulatory T-cells, critically hampers the efficacy of tumour immune-therapy. Tumours, however, attract and exploit the immune-regulatory function of Tregs to dampen local immune responses and to induce local tolerance. In recent years, inhibitors that directly target immune-suppressive mechanisms of T cells have found clinical application with great success. The clinical application of these so called “check-point inhibitors”, however, is accompanied by severe side effects in treated patients. Thus improvement of the efficacy of current immune-therapeutic treatments is a major unmet need. This proposal will employ the newest developments in antibody design to target the next generation of biologics right towards tumour-residential Tregs or directly into the tumour micro-environment itself. In this way we will be able to specifically shift the local immune suppressive environment within tumours, while leaving tissue homeostasis in noncancerous tissues unaffected, and thus diminish treatment associated side-effects. The here proposed project combines the expertise of fundamental immunologist, tumour immunologists and cell biologists with that of a life-science biotechnology company and that of experts in clinical cancer research to address this aspect. This group will lead a training network that aims at educating a new generation of researchers, who will be able to bridge the innovation gap between, on the one hand, early discoveries in tumour-immunology as well as in antibody technology and, on the other hand, the efficient translation and clinical validations of these findings in patients.

Our continent is being shaken by a set of major challenges ranging from economic to security, refugee and rule of law crises. These events place unprecedented pressure on the institutional framework designed to hold Europe together since the second world war. The EU has emerged as the key player whenever the most fundamental rights of individuals are at stake. This is somewhat surprising. Since the 1950s, scientists have understood the European edifice as being based, on the one hand, on the Council of Europe designed to protect European values and fundamental rights in particular; and, on the other, on the EU intended to advance European (economic) integration. Therefore, it is the Council of Europe, an international organization distinct from the EU, that was initially placed at the forefront of fundamental rights protection. Yet, the EU is now taking the lead on setting fundamental rights standards. Benefits may be considerable where the EU offers strong institutional support. There may however also be a profound mismatch between the new function of the EU and its constitutional design. For instance, it may be inappropriate to address religious discrimination in employment – such as regulating the conditions for headscarf bans - through the same harmonization tools ensuring the free movement of goods. Are new concepts and legal tools needed to ensure trust in the EU system? The principal investigator, an EU constitutional and fundamental rights expert, will critically assess the shift in the nature of the EU’s contribution to European fundamental rights law with a view to better defining the new function of the EU in the field and making recommendations to improve its ability to perform such a function. For that purpose, she will draw on three aspects: legal research highlighting the main features of this stronger decision-making powers of the EU; theory of law informing the implications of the EU’s new quest for European values; and political and social science investigating the impact on stakeholders’ strategies.

The hypothesis of this project is that Ireland has a unique and hitherto underexplored history of cultural engagement with models from ancient Greece and Rome. Unlike Britain and mainland Europe, Ireland was never part of the Roman Empire. Yet the island has an extraordinarily vibrant tradition of classical learning that dates back to its earliest recorded literature, and is unparalleled in other northern European countries. Research for this project will address why this is the case, by examining sources through nine significant diachronic themes identified by the PI: language; land; travel and exile; Troy; satire; Neoplatonism; female voices; material culture; and global influence. This multi-thematic approach will enable analysis of what is remarkable about classical reception in Ireland. It will also provide a heuristic framework that generates dialogue between normally disparate fields, such as classical reception studies, Irish and British history, English-language literature, Irish-language literature, medieval studies, postcolonial studies, philosophy, material culture, women's studies, and global studies. The project will engage with contemporary preoccupations surrounding the politics and history of the divided island of Ireland, such as the current decade of centenary commemorations for the foundation of an independent Irish state (1912-1922, 2012-2022), and the on-going violence and political divisions in Northern Ireland. These issues will serve as a springboard for opening new avenues of investigation that look far beyond the past 100 years, but are linked to them. The project will thus shed new light on the role of classical culture in shaping literary, social, and political discourse across the island of Ireland, and throughout its history.

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) holds great potentials for road safety and efficiency, but two major barriers need to be removed before its potentials can be fully unleashed: significantly enhanced vehicle to vehicle (eV2V) services with millimetre wave (mmWave) communications and reliable cooperative perception with autonomous vehicles (AV) sensors. However, the directional connectivity of mmWave presents new challenges for the whole protocol stack of V2V networks, while reliable cooperative perception requires novel design of deep learning (DL) models for object detection and fusion of sensor data from neighbour AVs. The above challenges underpinned by CAV demand a holistic design and tight integration of connected vehicles (CV) and AV technologies. This innovative and multi-disciplinary project VESAFE will train the outstanding Fellow candidate to tackle the key challenges with complementary expertise and realize the full potentials of CAV. A novel cross-layer design is proposed for the research of 5th generation (5G) eV2V schemes with mmWave and reliable cooperative perception for advanced CAV safety applications: the eV2V schemes are AV oriented and greatly assisted by the AV cooperative perception, and the reliable cooperative perception is boosted by the awareness of V2V network conditions. And this project propose a novel integrated evaluation of 5G eV2V and CAV applications to support system design and performance characterization. Through the cutting-edge research, this innovative project will produce robust eV2V schemes and reliable cooperative perception solutions, make breakthrough on 5G V2V and CAV safety applications. It will significantly improve the Fellow’s employability and career prospects, strengthen knowledge transfer, boosting the research and innovation (R&I) capacity and research quality, therefore contributing to Europe’s competitiveness and growth in critical sectors of 5G/6G and AV.

An estimated 20.000 collisions between aircrafts and birds are expected to happen in Europe in 2019. Resulting in massive costs and delays for passengers, airlines, and airports. We can remember serious accidents as the “Miracle on the Hudson” and, recently, the Ethiopian Airlines crash resulting in 157 fatalities, where U.S. aviation authorities regard a collision with one or more birds as the most likely reason for the MCAS sensor failure that lead to the crash. In the project, AscendXYZ will mature the advanced prototype solutions developed under European Space Agency (ESA) Business Applications program into market-ready service performing radar hazard measurements of bird activity and make the information available to the relevant industry stakeholders (Airlines, Pilots, Air Navigation Service Providers and Airports). The technology will reshape bird strike prevention by facilitating a plethora of data to airlines on bird activity nearby airports – creating for the first time in the industry a network of connected systems. Participating in this pan-European and global project are some of the largest airlines and airports in the world. The expected project outcome is a reduction in the number of bird strikes, leading to a significant improvement of flight safety as well as a positive business impact for the airlines to the benefit of all industry stakeholders and passengers.
