2020 will be remembered as year zero of tele-medicine. moveUP has developed a mobile health platform that monitors, informs and treats patients via standardised & validated protocols. Its first product is in orthopaedics, but with the Corona Crisis and the cancellation of all elective procedures, the platform has been extended to other pathologies. On 18/03, a monitoring protocol of suspected Covid19 patients has been offered to General Practitioners (GP), enabling them to follow-up symptoms of hundreds of patients, and intervene in case of need. The topic of this program remains orthopaedic joint replacements. But the benefits of the solution and its applicability for infectious or disabling diseases which restricts movement to the GP will be clear to the reader. Joint replacements are referred to as the surgery of the century, as the number are growing exponentially. But 20-30% of patients remain unsatisfied and quality of care is not measured. moveUP offers patients a safe, efficient and qualitative therapy to be made from the comfort of their home. It uses medical device certified machine learning models to adapt activity level, exercises, medication and coach patients, under uner supervision of healthcare providers. The therapy has shown in clinical studies to offer excellent outcomes, lower variability, and objective measure of quality, at a lower cost compared to standard of care. More than 1200 patients have been treated and it is the first digital therapy fully reimbursed by the national health insurance in Belgium. moveUP and has taken first steps to expand across Europe. But the fragmentation of the European Healthcare markets makes it more difficult for a start-up to scale and raise funding. The purpose of this application is to enable moveUP to adapt and certify its therapy in 4 target countries, run large scale pilots to demonstrate efficacy and health economic benefit, and to conclude partnerships with strategic partners to gain scale.

Stances Toward Education in Multilingual Contexts (STEMCo) transforms findings from ethnographic engagement with multilingual school communities into research-driven and policy-informed teacher-education materials. Ten months of ethnographic and participatory action research in middle schools—one in Bolzano, a historically multilingual context, and the other in Verona, a newly multilingual context—will support data-driven teacher reflection on classroom practices (WP1). These data are then analyzed in light of communicative repertoires, multilingualism, pedagogy, and language ideologies and findings are disseminated to academic stakeholders (WP2). These findings are then exploited for the professional development of teachers throughout Europe via a sustainable, Open Access online course (WP3). The overall aim of STEMCo is to develop data-driven and research-based approaches, and associated training materials, for accommodating community multilingualism and individual plurilingualism in school communities throughout Europe. The objectives of WP3 will be bolstered by a secondment at the Italian National Institute for Documentation, Innovation, and Educational Research (INDIRE), a short visit to the New York Initiative for Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB), and another to the European Centre for Modern Languages. My collaboration with Eurac’s Institute of Applied Linguistics, and my supervisors Lorenzo Zanasi and Andrea Abel, will augment my interdisciplinary training with methods and theories in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, language pedagogy, and Italian education policies, as well as professional skills related to project management, data management and analysis, and community engagement. This project will help me reach professional maturity by growing my interdisciplinary experience, international networks, and intersectoral collaborations in order to gain a tenure-track position oriented to teacher-education and community multilingualism.

Ovid –the classical Roman poet of love and mythology– became an immensely influential literary figure in Western Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries. Due to his versatility, ambiguity and multi-generic poetic creativity his readership only kept growing towards the Renaissance, although this demanded a number of different reading strategies (or excuses), best known through the French adaptation of the Metamorphoses, Ovide moralisé (14th century). But allegory and moralizing were not the only medieval appropriations of Ovid's myths. The present project aims to bring the historical and literate reception of the Metamorphoses and the Heroides into the discussion. Reading Ovid’s classical mythology ‘at face value’ or as a part of history was, in fact, a substantial part of the medieval engagement with the Roman poet. Two major works of vernacular historical writing actually use Ovid’s texts in this manner: the Castilian General estoria (compiled 1270-84), and the French narrative of the ancient world, the Histoire ancienne jusqu'à César (14th cent. version). The three vernacular texts and their similar appropriation of Ovid need to be studied together. This comparative, multilingual and transnational approach is another innovative aspect of the proposal. Breaking out of nationally defined research traditions requires a new intellectual framework which will be provided by the Danish-English Centre of Excellence, the Centre for Medieval Literature (Odense and York). The project fits perfectly into the European agenda of CML which divides its research into three main strands: fictionality, languages, and canon. The present proposal will draw on, and contribute to, CML in all three areas: studying literature that crosses languages (Latin, French, Castilian), theorizing both the medieval canon (differing but contemporary approaches to Ovid) and the modern, and bringing the medieval reception of classical mythology into the discussion about fictionality and historicity.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the economic backbone of virtually every economy and the main contributor to employment and growth creation in the world. In Europe, they represented over 99,8% of the non-financial business sector, accounting for 67% of total employment and generating 57% of value added. Despite their importance, it is estimated that more than half of SMEs don’t have access to credit. As a result, businesses around the world face the problem of financing the credit gap existing between companies doing business together and struggle to achieve the necessary financing for growing their companies. In IOU.Exchange, we aim to create innovative financial solutions that help other companies achieve the financing they need and realize their full potential, and hereby create more value in the world. CreditStretcher is our unique fully automatic financing solution, that allows instant invoice payment and up to 90 days of credit stretching based on invoices. Our credit rating is based on the invoice receiver (usually larger and more creditworthy), favoring SMEs (smaller, less creditworthy). By adding insurance to cover risk and automation to lower transaction costs, SMEs can now get credit with a simple online process. Our solution disrupts the invoice financing market providing the easiest, cheapest and fastest solution for SMEs financing. Moreover, it has the potential to create massive value in Europe, boosting production, value and job creation by helping SMEs grow. In five years from project completion, we expect to enable more than 127.000 credit stretches, that for us will represent a cumulative profit of €62,4M, achieving a highly lucrative ROI of €30 per euro invested in this project, and allowing us to grow by hiring 25 new employees.

The era of finding “easy oil” is coming to an end, and future supply will become more reliant on fossil fuels produced from enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Many EoR methods have been used, including mechanical, chemical, thermal and biological approaches, but there are still 50~70% of the original oil trapped in reservoir rocks after the primary and secondary recovery. NanoEOR, i.e, injecting nanoparticles (NPs) together with flooding fluids, is an emerging field. However all proposed applications are based on pre-fabricated NPs, which encountered enormous problems in NP stabilization and transport under reservoir conditions. This project proposes a revolutionary concept, iNanoEOR: in-situ production of NPs inside the reservoir for enhanced oil recovery. Rather than pre-manufacturing, dispersing and stabilizing NPs in advance, NPs will be produced in the reservoir by controlled hydrothermal reactions, acting as sensors to improve reservoir characterisation, or as property modifiers to effectively mobilize the trapped oil. This project will validate the innovative iNanoEOR concept by answering three questions: i) how the concept works? ii) what kind of NPs should be produced that can effectively mobilize trapped oil? iii) what are desired NP properties to allow them flow through a reservoir? Three work programs are designed, and a number of breakthroughs beyond state-of-art research are expected, which include i) proof-of-concept of the innovative iNanoEOR, ii) developing a new methodology for temperature measurement inside a reservoir, iii) revelation of the influence of NPs on EOR under reservoir-like conditions, iv) understanding the controlling factors in NP transport at different scales. The project will not only contribute directly to iNanoEOR, but also transfers the PI’s expertise in nanomaterials and multiphase flow into oil and gas sector and underpin many NP-related subsurface applications, which currently is non-existing in the Europe.

Cells must regulate their volume in response to changes in osmolarity and during cell division, migration, apoptosis, and transepithelial transport. Regulated membrane transport of ions and metabolites creates osmotic gradients that secondarily drive water across the membrane. Organic ‘osmolytes’ such as glutamate also serve in extracellular signalling and volume-regulatory ion transporters are often used for other purposes, putting volume regulation into the context of diverse organismal functions. Research on cell volume regulation stagnated because the identity of a key player, the Volume-Regulated Anion Channel VRAC, remained unknown. Very recently we identified LRRC8 heteromers as VRAC components and discovered that VRACs are a heterogeneous group of channels. Their remarkable ability to transport not only Cl-, but also signalling molecules or drugs, depends on their LRRC8 subunit composition. This breakthrough now allows us to search for functionally relevant interactors and to dissect the physiological roles of different VRACs using mouse models. Whereas disruption of Lrrc8a abolishes VRAC function, abrogating other Lrrc8 genes (in total five) will change its transport properties. Conditional KO mice will first focus on epithelia which faces large osmolarity changes, on the brain where VRAC-released signalling molecules are supposed to play important roles in physiology and pathology, and on VRAC’s assumed role in vesicle exocytosis. We expect to discover many surprising novel roles of VRACs. Emboldened by our identification of VRAC, we will use genome-wide siRNA screens to identify two other ‘missing’ ion channels, which have been known physiologically for many years and may have widespread roles in signalling and other physiological processes. Once identified, these channels will be studied at a structural, cellular and organismal level. These projects will break new ground in physiology, cell biology, signalling and pathology.

Cloud-LSVA will create Big Data Technologies to address the open problem of a lack of software tools, and hardware platforms, to annotate petabyte scale video datasets. The problem is of particular importance to the automotive industry. CMOS Image Sensors for Vehicles are the primary area of innovation for camera manufactures at present. They are the sensor that offers the most functionality for the price in a cost sensitive industry. By 2020 the typical mid-range car will have 10 cameras, be connected, and generate 10TB per day, without considering other sensors. Customer demand is for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which are a step on the path to Autonomous Vehicles. The European automotive industry is the world leader and dominant in the market for ADAS. The technologies depend upon the analysis of video and other vehicle sensor data. Annotations of road traffic objects, events and scenes are critical for training and testing computer vision techniques that are the heart of modern ADAS and Navigation systems. Thus, building ADAS algorithms using machine learning techniques require annotated data sets. Human annotation is an expensive and error-prone task that has only been tackled on small scale to date. Currently no commercial tool exists that addresses the need for semi-automated annotation or that leverages the elasticity of Cloud computing in order to reduce the cost of the task. Providing this capability will establish a sustainable basis to drive forward automotive Big Data Technologies. Furthermore, the computer is set to become the central hub of a connected car and this provides the opportunity to investigate how these Big Data Technologies can be scaled to perform lightweight analysis on board, with results sent back to a Cloud Crowdsourcing platform, further reducing the complexity of the challenge faced by the Industry. Car manufacturers can then in turn cyclically update the ADAS and Mapping software on the vehicle benefiting the consumer.

Currently, the light aircraft industry lacks the means to retrofit aircrafts with hybrid technology. This shortcoming leads to a host of problems, of the most significant include: higher maintenance costs, environmental contamination and safety risks. HYPROP is a proposal by the aeronautic company AXTER that will introduce novel technology and an accompanying business model that are aimed at taking current light aircrafts powered only by gasoline engines and converting them into hybrid propulsion aircrafts. The proposed HYBPROP will develop a business model around the company owned prototype AX-50 (based on current commerical AX-40S) which will hybridize the airplane engine (electric-fuel combination) adapting the current piston engine of an airplane. The business model shall include a full installation service, providing services based on the customers needs, as opposed to a product driven approach. This hybrid engine will allow the use of the electric engine during the majority of the flight, reducing the consumption of fuel and the maintenance cost of the engine due to lower usage of the engine. Several solutions have been proposed in the market to achieve a fully electric engine airplane; however, HYBPROP will propose retrofitting already existing airplanes into hybrid propulsion ones as a full service to the airplane owner, in contrast to having this technology available only on new airplanes. The current technology available in the prototype AX-50 (based on operational AX-40S) allows a manned safe landing in the event of failure driving the full propulsion power to the electrical engine and decoupling the failed piston engine. Applying this technology to mixed operation of both engine during the complete operational environment will reduce the fuel consumption by using electrical means during taxi operation and supporting part of the flight. Batteries are charged optimizing the operation or by normal electric line with an adapter in ground.
