TARGETED-MPI aims to address gender inequality in Business and Management (B&M) schools through the development and effective implementation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs). The complex and multidisciplinary nature of B&M schools constitutes an important research site to examine gender equality. The TARGETED-MPI consortium includes research organisations operating in diverse academic cultures and socio-economic settings in Europe (Greece, Sweden, Belgium, UK) and Lebanon, which allows the development of rich GEPs and the understanding of the conditions of applicability and transferability of GEPs across Europe and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. We will use an action-based research and transparent end-to-end stakeholder engagement strategy that is critical for the development and implementation of GEPs. The innovative cultural web tool will be used to identify overt and covert gender bias and barriers in partner organisations. A two-phase planning-implementation-monitoring-and-evaluation approach will be used to support the early deployment and assessment of GEPs and the provision of timely feedback for improving the initial GEPs. An independent expert will work closely with the project team to provide impartial ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of the GEPs. A Network of Gender Equality Observatories (GEOs) will be established in the B&M schools of the participating institutions to foster the sustainability of the GEPs and support the dissemination of the project results. The higher and middle management of all participating institutions have made unequivocal commitments for implementing the GEPs to achieve institutional change. TARGETED-MPI has also secured the support of critical gender equality stakeholders including professional organisations. The implementation of GEPs will improve GE in academic careers and gender participation in decision making bodies, and will foster the inclusion of gender consideration in research and innovation content.

The proposal addresses the themes outlined in Topic “JTI-CS2-2016-CFP03-REG-01-02 Green Turboprop configuration - Natural Laminar Flow adaptive wing concept aerodynamic experimental validation (WTT2)”. The objectives of the GRETEL project is the design, manufacturing, testing and WTT support of an innovative large scale (1:3) flexible Natural Laminar Flow (NLF) wing model that is equipped with innovative morphing capabilities on the Leading Edge (LE), Trailing (TE) and Winglet devices and will act as a precursor for the morphing technology implementation on the next generation regional aircrafts. Wing morphing is considered one of the major technological developments towards NLF wings, turbulent skin friction drag reduction and load control, aiming to increase the aerodynamic efficiency in cruise and in off-design conditions (climb, descent). The large scale NLF wing model will be fully functional and representative of the actual wing structure, ensuring that the morphing wing model deformation and its static, and dynamic / vibration response will be representative of those of the actual wing at specified flow conditions. Special emphasis will be placed on the flexible skins sizing in order to structurally optimize them such that the deflected surfaces match as close as possible the aerodynamic surface shapes of the full scale wing. The wing model, with all the morphing devices integrated, will be subjected to Ground Static and Vibration Testing as well as to functional Testing to validate its performance. Subsequently, the large scale wing NLF model will be fully instrumented and delivered to the WT facility to verify the concept of the morphing laminar wing in a representative operational environment up to TRL 6. The innovations achieved within GRETEL will result in important socio-economic, technical and ecological impacts, arising mainly from the expected increase in the wing aerodynamic efficiency.

Fit Analytics GmbH is a Berlin-based ICT-SME, operating in the online fashion market. We are aiming to solve the two major problems of online fashion retail: 1. High return rates (~40-50%) because many end users don’t know their size. ~65% of all returns are made due to non-fit. High return rates have certain side effects, e.g. enormous CO2 emissions. 2. Low conversion rates to buy (less than 2% of all visitors convert into buyers; this is significantly lower compared to books or electronics sold online) because end users are uncertain which size to buy. Today, only 9% of all garments are sold online and 91% are still sold in brick-and-mortar stores, whereas more than 50% of all books and electronics are sold over the internet. We have already deployed the world’s most widely-used Size Advisor (“FITA1.0”) in the market, an innovative ICT product to help end-users find the right size online by providing simple size recommendations. Within the framework of the SME Instrument, Phase II, we are aiming to implement a new, ground-breaking size and product recommendation solution (“FITA2.0”) which will further disrupt the fashion retail market by using exclusive cross-shop purchase and return data for highly accurate size and personalized product recommendations. We have already developed a minimal viable product (MVP) of FITA2.0 that was successfully tested in an operational environment (TRL6) on Gaastra, a leading Dutch-German brand.We have undertaken a commercial and technical feasibility study, with positive results, and this will form the basis for a business implementation plan to be created during the project. In order to accelerate the market acceptance of the solution after implementation, we have already signed contracts with several clients that have agreed to implement FITA2.0 in the future. The project is closely related to the objectives of the call due to its disruptive character and planned market uptake.

The emergence of the young as a distinct social group, and their slowly increasing empowerment through the availability of digital technology, has brought with it an understanding that they have a key role to play in the digital society, as drivers of new behaviours and understandings. However, their active participation in society is not reflected sufficiently in policy and decision-making, especially in relation to digital issues. Because of this, they are not well represented and unheard, and this makes it hard for research and policy to identify and understand their needs. These issues are further complicated by the fact that the group is a swiftly moving target, it is as heterogeneous as the wider society, and young people can be unwilling to be subjects of research. The WYRED project (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) aims to provide a framework for research in which children and young people can express and explore their perspectives and interests in relation to digital society, but also a platform from which they can communicate their perspectives to other stakeholders effectively through innovative engagement processes. It will do this by implementing a generative research cycle involving networking, dialogue, participatory research and interpretation phases centred around and driven by children and young people, out of which a diverse range of outputs, critical perspectives and other insights will emerge to inform policy and decision-making in relation to children and young people’s needs in relation to digital society. The project is informed by the recognition that young people of all ages have the right to participation and engagement. It has a strong focus on inclusion, diversity and the empowerment of the marginalised. The aim is to replace the disempowering scrutiny of conventional research processes with the empowerment of self-scrutiny and self-organisation through the social dialogue and participatory research.

Flying SpArk is a food technology company which focuses on finding new ways of incorporating insect protein into food products for human consumption to support access to alternative protein sources as well as to increase food supply. Insects, even though less popular in the Western world, have been a part of diets of many peoples in various regions around the world for centuries. Flying SpArk’s protein powder made of the Mediterranean fruit fly, has many clear advantages to other sources of protein. Among these they have a better nutritional value compared to animal and non-animal derived proteins as well as other insects. Moreover, insects have a higher feed conversion efficiency than animals, for example, every 10kg of feed provides 1kg of beef and 5kg of chicken, compared to 8-9kg of insects. Flying SpArk’s edge lies in the selection of the insect for production of the protein powder: the Mediterranean fruit fly, which has never been used for human consumption before. It is more efficient in farming and feeding in relation to the amount and quality of the protein product in comparison to e.g. crickets, locusts, and even more compared to livestock, and it is less expensive also to the consumers. Fruit flies are also cholesterol, antibiotic, hormone, and pesticide free. Their farming requires relatively less resources as they require much less water and feed, and produce less waste, manure, and methane than conventional livestock. Flying SpArk’s innovative project provides an opportunity to address relevant challenges faced by European societies – mainly related to provide adequate supply for high-quality food while enhancing innovation and sustainability in production processes. By using food waste in the fruit flies’ diet Flying SpArk contributes to "closing the loop" of food lifecycles through re-use, and bring benefits for both the environment and the economy.

This Fellowship aims to enhance and expand the career potential of the applicant over the course of 36 months of finely-tuned support and advanced skills training from the University of Sheffield, under the guidance of Professor Peter Jackson. The goal is to enable the researcher to move into a phase of professional stability and academic independence, to become fully established as leading researcher and innovator in the inter-disciplinary field of agri-food studies, as well as maturing, in the longer-term, to become an international thought-leader within Human Geography and Feminist Political Ecology. This Fellowship will position the researcher competitively in terms of securing a permanent faculty position at a leading University within the next four years, as well as supporting her to secure longer-term research funding within the next 3-7 years. Based at The Institute for Sustainable Food, the researcher will build upon previous project experiences in the Caribbean, the UK, Zimbabwe and Tanzania, to consolidate her skills and international expertise as a social scientist across the interconnected domains of agri-food systems, diverse economies, sustainability and local innovation processes. Key questions that guide this proposal are: “How does transformation towards more sustainable food systems take place, across different scales from the individual, to the community, to the regional, to the international?” “What are the socio-ecological, economic, political and institutional factors that enable the co-creation of change towards more sustainable food systems?” “How can researchers and policy-makers support the co-creation of change processes, across different scales, to allow more sustainable food systems to emerge?” In asking these questions, this research and career agenda engages with inter-disciplinary, cross-sectoral concerns and furthermore, aims to work in support of 11 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In the last 7 decades, leaps have been made in astrophysics in their ability to open new windows onto our universe. With every new window, came exciting new detections of the already known and as well as the unknown. We are now once more on the cusp of activating a new probing tool for revealing the secrets of our universe – gravitational wave astronomy. Gravitational waves (GWs) are ripples in space-time that are predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity. They are unique in the fact that they are the only type of radiation that can be emitted by black holes; allowing their direct detection. GW astronomy also brings with it the exciting opportunity for tests of general relativity as well as other gravitational theories. Black hole binaries (BHBs) make up a large number of systems that will be detectable by both ground and space based detectors. Detection, however, requires the accurate modelling of their waveforms, which in turn requires solving the two-body problem in General Relativity. The two-body problem in general relativity is a longstanding open problem going back to work by Einstein himself. With these advances in GW detector technology, this age-old problem has been given a new lease of life and is motivating numerical, analytical and experimental relativists to work together with the prospect of opening up this new window onto our universe. This research will investigate the 3 current methods used to model BHBs, post-Newtonian (PN), Gravitational Self-Force (GSF) and Numerical Relativity (NR). The inital phase will involve the expansion of PN and GSF, under the supervision of world-leading experts. In the return phase, this newly gained knowledge will be combined with that of the hosts experts in NR and GSF to produce a cohesive outlook of BHB modelling, both extending and highlighting the benefits and applications of the 3 methods. This will extend and further cement the possibility and far-reaching consequences of detecting GWs.

The objectives of this project are to optimize, demonstrate and commercialize the EcoBioMass system. The EcoBioMass is the first automated system for harvesting and processing small diameter trees, that for the first time will make small diameter trees an economically viable energy biomass. EcoBioMass builds on a patented technology, where the operator harvests the tree and the EcoBioMass automatically cuts tree stems into prespecified lengths and bundles them together for forward transport. In relation to existing solutions, the system increases the efficiency of small diameter tree harvesting up to 60 % and enables users to extract up to 25 % more biomass from harvested tree stand than is the case today. This will for the first time make industrial small diameter tree harvesting economically and ecologically profitable as a green energy source. The environmental and socioeconomic impact of EcoBioMass within the European Union will therefore be considerable. Each EcoBioMass unit is able to harvest the equivalent of 60 Gigawatt hours of forest energy biomass annually. This translates into measurable benefits to forest owners, forest contractors and biomass energy users and the project is expected to create up to 500 jobs within five years of completion. From a business perspective, the commercialization of EcoBioMass will allow Cintoc to establish its own technological standard on the market and experience accelerated growth. The innovation activities of the project are based on the combination of market excellence and technological excellence, with a clear view of delivering added value on several levels of forest biomass production chain.

FILL2030 will adapt the business model for the ILL to fit the changing landscape of neutron research. The business model will secure full operational capacity of ILL to meet the demand from its users, until at least 2030. Neutron scattering in Europe is in a major transition period. The technique, developed by experts, has reached a level of maturity that fits the wide use by a broad, non-expert user community. Cutting edge experiments which demonstrate scientific excellence are performed in parallel to the most efficient, high throughput approach which will ensure the broadest, highest impact. This evolution in the user model is concurrent with the emergence of the big data driven, multi-disciplinary research approach. This demands the simplest, most open access to analytical facilities, as far as possible. At the same time, capacity in Europe for neutron scattering is being reduced with the closure of two major national facilities. ESS will start operation in the mid-2020’s providing new capability, but initially limited capacity. Already today ESS constitutes a major strain on the European neutron scattering budget. It is crucial in this case for ILL to service the future users of ESS till 2030. In FILL2030 adapting the business model is done through developing new service packages for academia and industry, adapting the funding model, developing tools to identify emerging user groups and to show case the socio-economic impact of the research done at ILL. FILL2030 will also provide ILL the means to test the new business model in piloting the new access modes for new users. As one of the oldest, large scale research infrastructures in Europe, with a funding model distributed across many stakeholders and a diverse user community, the ILL is an ideal test bed for adapting such infrastructures to the changing European Research Area. ILL will actively disseminate the lessons learned in FILL2030, so that other research infrastructures can benefit from them.
