Manuscripts which contain commentary alongside the biblical text are some of the most significant and complicated witnesses to the Greek New Testament. First compiled around the fifth century, the commentaries consist of chains of extracts from earlier writers (catenae). These manuscripts became the main way in which users encountered both the text and the interpretation of the New Testament; revised editions produced in the eleventh and twelfth centuries continued to hold the field until the invention of printing. Recent advances have shown that commentary manuscripts play a much more important role than previously thought in the history of the New Testament. The number of known copies has increased by 20% following a preliminary survey last year which identified 100 additional manuscripts. A recent comprehensive textual analysis of the Catholic Epistles indicated that all witnesses from the third generation onwards (some 72% of the total) could stem from the biblical text of three commentary manuscripts occupying a key place in the textual tradition. Investigation of the catena on Mark has shown that the selection of extracts could offer a new approach to understanding the theology of the compilers and the transmission of the commentaries. The CATENA Project will use digital tools to undertake a fuller examination of Greek New Testament commentary manuscripts than has ever before been possible. This will include an exhaustive survey to establish a complete list of witnesses; a database of extracts to examine their principles of organisation and relationships; and electronic transcriptions to determine their role in the transmission of the biblical text. The results will have a direct impact on editions of the Greek New Testament, providing a new understanding of its text and reception and leading to broader insights into history and culture.

CB1-18 is a computer program which is able to conduct a job interview automatically via auditory video and textual methods. It is able to interview all the applicants with questions in an automatic way. Our system can first verify the professional skills with questions about the candidate’s information about the applicant’s professional career and then verify the skills through language test and soft skills test. The main goal is to do almost all the selection process in an automatic way in order to avoid wasting time, and leaving to humans only the final decision. Most of the applications stand the chance of not being read due to time and cost reasons. The majority of them are rejected even before being read because of discriminatory criteria such as age, race, gender. Applicants don’t stand a chance in such a large amount of applications even before being evaluated on their skills basis. Other applications are rejected because of the way applicants writes since their CV is not able to transfer their value. Such software will help the most vulnerable people, generally discriminated by age - gender and race, to highlight their skills and willingness towards a fairly competition where all candidates start at the same starting point regardless of their status. There are so many areas of application: we think about people over 50 who have lost their job and the possibility to be selected again. If we think about moms who return into the labor market after dedicating themselves to the family, or young people ready to start their professional life. We can think about unemployed people who can have the possibility to present themselves in the best way to the recruiter. CB1-18 is a software able to give equal opportunities to everyone, identifying professionalism and most relevant skills, and when not present, tell us in what areas we can find them. CB1-18 is a software system that has great economic impact with great social implications at the same time.

Dental implants are widely used to replace missing teeth, with more than 4 000 000 implant surgery per year in Europe. Failures still occur because of a bad timing in the implant loading with the prosthesis, inducing pain and increased costs for dental surgeons. Although implant primary and secondary stability is the main determinant of the implant success, it remains difficult to be assessed in clinical practice. OsseoWave is based on the results obtained in the ERC CoG project Boneimplant and aims at developing and validating a medical device consisting in a decision support-system allowing the surgeon to assess dental implant stability. Such medical device is needed by the clinicians in order to adapt their surgical strategy. The objective of OsseoWave is i) to achieve a minimum viable product (MVP) that will be validated in vitro and in vivo, and ii) to investigate its commercial potential and design a subsequent commercial exploitation strategy via spin-off creation or licensing of the technology. The originality of the approach is to use quantitative ultrasound, a non-invasive, non-radiating, portable and cheap technique, which constitute a technological rupture. Regulatory issues will be at the heart of the development and we will work in order to clear the regulatory pathway of the future medical device. Post-OsseoWave, the MVP will be ready to go through CE marking application. The team is constituted by members with complementary skills (including engineers, a business developer and maxillofacial and veterinary surgeons experts in implantology). OsseoWave will allow the promotion of innovative solution and services in dental implantology. The long-term vision is for the technology to become a reference in dental implant surgery. Strong impacts are associated to OsseoWave and in particular for the surgeons, the patients, the implant manufacturer, the technology and the economy.

Electronic doping, the control over the charge carrier density, is at the heart of the success of the semiconductor industry. Promising new semiconductor materials like conductive polymers, fullerenes and quantum dots cannot be doped by traditional doping methods. The applicant and his group have developed a general method to dope these materials on demand with an electrochemical method, combined with photopolymerization of the solvents and electrolyte ions. This methods allows to precisely control the charge density in these new semiconductor materials and also allows patterning of the doping density via methods akin to photolithography used in the semiconductor industry. This enable the design of new device geometries, such as lateral pn junctions that could allow easy on chip integration of e.g. solution processable LEDs. The goal of this proof-of-concept application is to investigate the application potential of this newly developed technology. In particular it involves the development of demonstrator devices to showcase the technique’s potential, to investigate and protect the intellectual property and to analyze the interest from key industrial stakeholders in this technology. When successful, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the semiconductor industry. It could be of great economic potential and in addition may contribute to achieving sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption of lamps and displays and by offering new and improved means to harvest solar via highly efficient solution processable solar cells.

While Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a global pandemic, it has been estimated that a five-year delay in the disease onset could reduce the disease prevalence – and its costs – by up to 33% over the next decades, representing potential savings over €100bn in EU alone. However, there are still significant roadblocks ahead as current drugs do not untap sizeable improvements in AD patients. This is primarily due to the challenge of minimizing the impact of irreversible brain damage in later dementia stages, which accentuates the need for early intervention. However, recent evidence shows that non-invasive flashing (stroboscopic) light at the appropriate frequency (40 Hz) promotes clearance of beta-amyloid – whose accumulation is believe to be one of the key triggers to the neurodegenerative cascade leading to dementia states. Instead of using fadigue-inducing stroboscopic flashing light (i.e. on-off), the founding members of OptoCeutics have devised a unique, patent-protected method to stimulate the human visual receptors and processing cortex through alternating white light composed of different wavelengths. The two variants of the white light are formed by different combinations of coloured LEDs. When flickering between the two LED sets, the colours fusion together and appear as one, resulting in approximately the same white colour, avoiding experiencing light flashing, but the brain is capturing the blue component flashing with 40 Hz – thus still promoting neuro-protective beta-amyloid clearance. OptoCeutics will leverage from BRIGHT as a vital stepping stone to prepare the company’s business strategy, serving also to significantly de-risk its route-to-market by enabling to liaise with major industrial and clinical players to define both the optimal productization and maturation of Optoceutics core technology, as well as the setup for its full-scale demonstration and certification, prior market roll-out.

Plasma Kraft’s proposes to take an innovative drying technology for agricultural products from the pilot stage to full-scale production. The drying technology is versatile and allows for normal drying as well as drying to freeze dried quality without using vacuum or other energy intensive solutions. It is the most effective method for reduction of surface spores and pathogens. We have can ascertain that the product will be price competitive while providing at least 70% energy saving compared to drying equipment used in this industry today. The technology allows for very compact design that takes up less than 50% floor space compared to existing systems while still fitting on a single-floor production arrangement. The system is conveyor-based and fully automated allowing for continuous production and remote monitoring reducing labour cost and processing time. Temperature measurements in real time guides the software to provide ideal drying temperature that helps preserve the nutritional value of the dried food product.

Solar power is pitted to become the leading renewable energy sources of the future (10 TW by 2040). To achieve this solar energy revolution, however, the highest efficiency solar cells are needed. Today, manufacturing high-efficiency wafers for these solar cells is expensive and energy-intensive. This is because the conventional process of wafer production is highly material-inefficient and requires a range of heavy-duty machinery. At the same time, extreme costs pressure is coming from Asian wafer manufacturers, who are engaged in price dumping strategies. Consequently, high-efficiency wafer prices are driven to as low as 68% of production costs. This makes it extremely difficult for the European industry to cope, resulting in thousands of job losses across the EU. At NexWafe, we have developed the first fundamentally new mass-scalable technology to manufacture the highest-efficiency silicon wafers, EpiNex, at a 50% lower CAPEX, releasing 50% less CO2 and wasting 90% less silicon material than conventional high-efficiency wafer production. In turn, this results in 70% lower COGS. Our market entry strategy will consist of direct sales of EpiNex wafers to leading high-efficiency solar cell producers, whom we are already in talks with for pilot testing. With EIC Accelerator investment, EpiNex will be able to bring the multi- billion-euro solar wafer manufacturing business back to Europe, creating thousands of jobs and finally multiplying the capacity of the downstream multi-billion high-efficiency solar cell industry.

The MANDALA project presents a sustainable solution for the plastic packaging sector which tackles 3 pillars: eco-design, dual functionality & end-of-life; with the aim to find a final solution based on multilayer monomaterial packaging with functionalities compared to multimaterial ones and fully produced with biobased & recycled polymers in order to reach a full circularity of resources. MANDALA will develop new adhesives with dual functionality (easy to split and barrier properties) by incorporating thermoreversible covalent bonds and radiation absorbing nanoparticles, which at the same time will generate a tortuous path enhancing barrier properties that are critical for end-user. In addition, new polymer blends with increased biobased and recycled content of film layers will be developed. Their combination in a multilayer product will set the basis for new food (meat, ready-to-eat) and pharma (pill blister) packaging products. MANDALA project will demonstrate that the de-lamination technology can be up-scaled and applied to reach intermediate solutions for multilayer/multimaterial packaging (being biobased or not) progressively helping to become the end-of-life more sustainable by recovering all fractions and providing clean streams for their biodegradation or recycling. MANDALA project will directly contribute to achieve KPI 1, KPI 2, KPI 6, KPI 8 and demonstrate the solution decreasing the end-of-life costs and CO2 emissions in more than a 30%. It will develop innovations in 3 KETS. MANDALA consortium involves 12 partners (4RTD, 5SME, 1SME cluster and 2 Large Companies) accounting 2 BIC full members and 2 associated. The 42-months project will comprise a total estimated budget of 4,573,892,5€ and requested funding of 3,650,921,75€. There is a strong engagement of the industry with 922,970,75€ in-kinds (20,2%) and 4,869,731€ in additional activities during the project (machine acquisition) and 3,820,000€ envisaged to upgrade TRL after the end of the project.
