Platinum group metals (PGM) are currently highly demanded due to their unique properties which have made them indispensable in different strategic sectors as renewable energy, electric mobility and digital technologies. Unfortunately, PGMs are costly and Europe depends on their importation from other continents, which is nowadays a high risk for the development of strategic applications in key industrial sectors. For these reasons PGMs are categorized as critical raw materials (CRM) by the EC. Thus, finding alternatives to them is critical for the EU economy. In this context, NICKEFFECT project has identified an opportunity to replace these materials in key applications as electrolysers electrodes, fuel cells catalysts and magneto-electronic devices. The proposed alternative is based on nickel (Ni), an earth-abundant element with ferromagnetic character. To enhance the catalytic performance of Ni, innovative deposition techniques to obtain coatings, with ordered and pseudo-ordered porosity, will be developed. The higher surface to volume ratio provided by the increased porosity will allow enhancing catalytic performance or converse magnetoelectric effect (CME) in electronic devices. NICKEFFECT will develop and validate at least 3 new materials, together with the coating methodologies (including process modelling) and decision support tools for materials selection (integrating safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) criteria and materials modelling). The NICKEFFECT project brings together a strong consortium composed of twelve different partners with complementary profiles and large expertise, covering the special skills, capabilities and certification expected for the project.

The project will create a collaboration environment for European and global stakeholders involved in the preparation of 6G smart networks and services. It will be the instrument to present, leverage, and position the SNS JU activities and achievements in major European and global fora. The project will work at a global level with other regions, where 6G activities are planned and ongoing. This will create an environment to promote SNS JU results and achievements, exchange trends and ideas to achieve global consensus. Key standardization activities will be also monitored, and main roadmaps and trends will be communicated back to the SNS JU projects. The project will also establish dialogues at a European level between peer Horizon Europe Partnerships, national initiatives, research and development clusters, etc., targeting the exchange of information, plans and priorities. This will enable a better understanding of the European activities among the involved stakeholders and will potentially enable a better alignment of their plans. Additionally, SNS ICE will also be engaged in dialogues with key vertical industries through well-established associations, to identify their requirements and promote the SNS JU solutions to them. This exchange of ideas will create opportunities for tailor-cut 6G solutions and their early adoption by the verticals industries. All these activities are expected to contribute significantly to secure Europe’s leading role in the definition, provision, and exploitation of 6G solutions. SNS ICE is planning to organize dedicated workshops with the abovementioned groups of stakeholders at main international events, most notably Techritory and EuCNC. It will also provide several presentations at international and European conferences and events. The outcomes of these results will be communicated to the SNS JU community assisting the research and innovation activities to be fully aware of the global 6G progress.

The overall aim of the REALM project is to create a collaborative framework for regulatory authorities, application developers, healthcare professionals and policy officers to co-create and evaluate software for medical and healthcare use. We propose to create an inclusive platform leading to a transparent ecosystem for evaluation and certification of software in healthcare where both the developers and the regulatory (and Health Technology Assessment) bodies have access to a standardized set of technology stack and data. This will be achieved by first mapping and analyzing regulations, legislative efforts and guidelines from EU, national bodies and around the world on software in healthcare practice. These will guide the roadmap towards building an inclusive, fair and multi-stakeholder ecosystem. The scaffold for an integrated architecture will be developed in collaboration with DARWIN, based on standardized data models and optimized data driven methodologies for the effective use of real-world data (RWD) in healthcare regulatory practice. The architecture will consist of four components: two technological infrastructures, a living lab and a post-marketing surveillance module. i) a federated cloud-based data resources catalog will be established, to bring together currently available RWD data and synthetic data to facilitate the data needs of the platform. ii) Regulatory Toolbox will be established to bring together standardized tools to train, test, evaluate and monitor medical/healthcare software. iii) Living lab environment for piloting medical/healthcare software technology assessment taking into account human-software interactions as part of the system. iv) Post-marketing surveillance with RWD for ensuring quality standards of the certified software in practice. Finally, building on the proposed architecture, five real Medical Device Software (MDSW) projects are going to be implemented across 3 countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Greece).

Financial markets constitute the backbone of modern economies, intermediating resources from those who have them (i.e., lenders) to those who can put them to productive use (i.e., borrowers). A defining feature of these markets is that lenders give up goods today in exchange for a promise to receive goods in the future. Clearly, these promises are only valuable if they are expected to be honoured. We can think of promises as being backed by collateral, which – for the purpose of this proposal – I use as a generic term to denote the stream of future income that borrowers can credibly pledge. It is an economy’s stock of collateral that determines the amount and type of promises that can be traded, and thus the ability of financial markets to intermediate resources efficiently. In past research, I have studied the key determinants and effects of an economy’s total stock of collateral. But there is a crucial aspect of the problem that deserves further study. In a world of heterogeneous agents, what matters for the allocative efficiency of financial markets is not just the overall stock of collateral, but also its distribution across firms, sectors and countries. Moreover, this distribution is largely endogenous, as it is shaped by general equilibrium forces and is bound to change when the economy does. In this proposal, I focus on three major ongoing shifts in the global economy and their effects on the distribution of collateral and the efficiency of financial markets: (i) declining interest rates; (ii) rising market power; and (iii) shifting distribution of power across countries.

EXPULSE investigates the impact of urban expulsion regimes on the lived experiences of housing insecurity for poor residents in four European cities: Brussels, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Thessaloniki. Amid rising global inequalities, these cities face escalating forms of expulsion, including housing evictions, the displacement of the poor from welfare systems, and the exclusion of migrants. Driven by the financialization and commodification of housing, these cities are experiencing severe housing crises, characterised by unaffordable rents and acute shortages in social housing, leading to widespread housing evictions. This study offers a timely and critical analysis of these urban expulsion regimes, defined as the interplay between state policies, housing market regulations, and moral discourses, alongside the governance practices of street-level bureaucrats and private actors involved in eviction processes across Europe. EXPULSE provides a comparative analysis of how these regimes influence poor residents’ housing trajectories and their access to urban citizenship. The project’s methodology is groundbreaking in its integration of quantitative data on urban eviction rates with qualitative data from expert interviews and institutional ethnographies within eviction enforcement agencies, as well as biographical interviews and relational ethnographies with urban residents at risk of eviction. It thereby offers an unprecedented, in-depth comparative overview of eviction trends within and across the four cities under study while revealing the lived experiences and processual nature of the eviction process. By merging insights from urban and migration studies, the project aims to develop an innovative interdisciplinary framework that highlights how urban expulsion regimes shape housing and citizenship rights, and exacerbate, alleviate, or generate inequalities within cities.

The goal of ESCORT project is to bring prominent advances in IoT, Wearables, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) to facilitate enhanced patient treatment services for the enrichment of patient experience and European health and care service resilience. The proposed innovations to be carried out in the project will assist int eh development of ethics-by-design policy intervention based on the evidence collected and analysed from the pilot studies. Spanning across 36 months, the ESCORT project brings together the experiences of leading healthcare service providers from five (5) European (Greece, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Ireland) and one (1) associated member (Israel) states specialising in emergency medicine and offering regular health and care service providers across six (6) countries (AUTH, UCSC, VUB, KI, NH, MDA). The development of digital services will be designed in consultation with the stakeholders including patients, patient advocacy groups, health and care service professionals, health and care providers. The development of technology will be supported by research experts (UTH), complementing the expertise of SMEs (RINI, MKM, COSI, MDS). The overall integration of the proposed tools and services will be achieved by INTRA. The origins of ESCORT conceptualisation can be traced back to the supplier network creation within NO-FEAR (CSA) project in which validation of individual tools catering the demands of urgent and emergency medicine has been carried out. Building on the success of the NO-FEAR project, the workplan of ESCORT has been designed to enable integration of core technologies to develop digital services addressing patient needs and requirements. To achieve this project, the ESCORT consortium has identified three (3) scenarios which represents the pre-, and post- clinical patient care and the needs of victims requiring support for urgent and emergency medical care. All the scenarios will be validated across six (6) countries.

Pediatric sarcomas account for ~20% of childhood cancers. They have disappointing survival rates, with very little therapeutic progress over the last three decades. We clearly have to rethink the science and find new ways to tackle these devastating tumors. I propose that new cellular models are needed that account for the developmental origins of pediatric sarcoma, in order to accelerate drug discovery and molecular precision medicine. Focusing on Ewing sarcoma, which is a developmental cancer caused by a (known) fusion oncogene expressed in (unknown) cells-of-origin, we will pursue a “build it to understand it” approach and construct in vitro and in vivo tumor models starting from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We will validate these models against our single-cell and spatial maps of Ewing sarcoma tumors, and we will pursue initial applications in academic drug discovery – targeting the regulatory programs of Ewing sarcoma cells, metabolic dependencies of the tumor microenvironment and developmentally programmed tumors in their in vivo context. To build Ewing sarcoma models in a molecular defined manner, we will map oncogene-competent cell states by inducing EWS-FLI1 expression in hPSC-based models of human development (Aim 1). We will create supportive tumor microenvironments by 3D differentiation and CRISPR screening in stromal cells (Aim 2). Finally, we will evaluate the ability of in vitro models to form tumors in mice, and we will pursue full in vivo modeling of Ewing sarcoma using genetically engineered teratomas (Aim 3). Compared to patient-derived xenografts, organoids or cell lines, our approach captures early events of tumorigenesis, providing complementary in vitro and in vivo models of Ewing sarcoma for biomedical and translational research. This approach will generalize to other tumor types, as it takes the concept of developmental cancers seriously and operationalizes it using cellular programming and high-throughput functional biology.
