The D3T project goal is to demonstrate how a data-driven approach can innovate the Digital Transformation support scheme provided by Innovation Agencies such as Torino Wireless (TOWL). Digital Transformation (DT) allows SMEs to deeply change their business and organisational activities, processes, competencies and products/services by taking advantage of a mix of digital technologies. According to the EC, European companies are not taking full advantage of the advanced technologies or the innovative business models offered by the digital economy. Digital Transformation offers new business opportunities for SMEs and can fundamentally change business models, but it affects the whole value chain from product development to sales. It requires an enterprise-wide change which is driven by digital technologies. Currently, it is recognized a need for more efforts to provide a better support and highlight the need for DT within companies, thus creating a perfect opportunity for innovation support agencies to enhance and find new/improve ways to support firms in their DT paths, regardless of the sector they work in. Contextually, Data-driven is a trend that Clusters and innovation agencies can take advantage from to create value and enhance their operations, from the optimisation of the support services provided (support schemes) to the creation of more efficient services for their members and networks. Therefore, D3T project is focused in the improvement of a Digital Transformation support scheme by introducing a data-driven approach that allows a quicker and more thorough profiling and assessment of the companies’ needs in terms of digitalisation and how the support can be better implemented and managed. The data-driven approach will be based on a data analytics platform (D3 Platform), already developed by TOWL, which will significantly contribute along and within the entire digital transformation lifecycle.

ETIMan, Emergency and Triage Information Manager is a smart mobile solution for management of Mass Casualties Incidents and Triage (MCI). It is developed to ease the work of emergency medical staff, provide better and faster data to MCI headquarters and hospitals in real time, efficiently deploy resources and reduce costs and casualty cases. Targeted users are emergency medical teams, hospitals and MCI operators. Their urgent needs are: real-time accurate situation overview in MCI cases; tracking patients on their transport to further urgent care; tracking patients in different Triage stages; reduce time for administrative and paper work & data (re)input. Current state-of-the-art of MCI data (re)input is paper & pen & radio combination with huge potential for unwanted errors. ETIMan will bring digitalization to emergency medical teams and MCI operators. They will for the first time be able to use digital tool for dealing with wounded persons at MCI event, even in bad signal situations. Estimations from on-field pilot exercise show that data (re)input, analysing information and administrative work costs can be reduced by 20%-30%, enabling more focus on medical care. We already have Daily Emergency mode (one part of ETIMan) at TRL9 and collaborate with Slovenian regional Healthcare Organization as beta client for the whole ETIMan solution as well. Total global targeted SAM is about 9.300 potential buyers. Region 300-500km from Ljubljana will be targetted first, totalling 80 mio inhabitants. 21 prospect have already been identified from this region. In next phase, EU and its neighbourhood will follow. We estimate to realize 15,05 mio € revenue in first 5 years and employ 45 new staff members. Feasibility study goals are: 1-user acceptance study, 2-in-depth market and IPR study, 3-test of commercial approach through market outreach and education, 4-economic viability and financal analysis. We improved the proposal after winning Seal of Excellence.

The TEX-KR project investigates the history of textiles and clothing in terms of practices and production during the destructive rise and ruling of the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime (1975-1979) in Cambodia. Working in the fields of history and anthropology associated to textiles, I will do so by exploring the textile collections of the country’s two leading cultural institutions: The National Museum of Cambodia (NMC) and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (TSGM). When NMC reopened in 1980 in the aftermath of the dictatorship, most of the staff had disappeared, and two-thirds of its ethnographic collection of silk and dance costumes had been lost to looting and environmental damages. TSGM was established as a memorial site and genocide museum on the secret KR prison site S-21 in Phnom Penh and left with thousands of textile and clothing remains that belonged to the prisoners. Looking at what has been lost and reclaimed in these two archives, as well as visible signs of tears and repairs on artefacts and acquisition histories, will help establish these remaining objects as crucial material embodiments and evidence of Cambodia’s dark heritage. Combining object-based study, archival research, and participatory methodologies, TEX-KR uses textile techniques, objects, and dress practices to provide a sensory material turn on Cambodian genocide studies, an overlooked aspect of scholarship to the present day. I will implement innovative outreach activities incorporating practice and oral history to engage different audiences, including weaving groups in Cambodia and immigrant women communities in Europe to explore the topic of textile making, memory, trauma, and displaced identity. Combining politics, heritage, history, this project is an incentive for memorialisation and transitional justice through textiles with the potential to devise a new research model transferable to other cultures of conflict owning textile collections.

Human peripheral vision is important for noticing stimuli and moving the eye towards them if more detailed vision is needed, for orientation and for the detection of movement and, generally, for the awareness of our surroundings. It has been shown that increased refractive error in the periphery can lead to a significant decrease in the detection of a stimulus. This functional limitation of vision can have significant implications in safety and efficiency in daily tasks, such as walking or driving. Peripheral refraction is also thought to play an important role in the emmetropization process and is a candidate for the mechanism causing myopia. Until now, however, there has not been conclusive evidence to fully establish the relationship between peripheral defocus and astigmatism with myopia, partially due to the lack of a clinical instrument designed to measure peripheral refraction. Furthermore, peripheral image quality deteriorates significantly after cataract surgery due to the high peripheral refraction of the intraocular lens implants commonly used. The proposed project concerns the design, built and subsequent evaluation of an innovative optical instrument and a corresponding method for the in-vivo, quick and accurate measurement of the central and peripheral refraction of the human eye. The instrument will have the potential to become a very valuable tool in ophthalmology, and specifically in the study of children myopia, but also in cataract surgery. The project will be carried out at the Athens Eye Hospital (AEH) and includes two three-month secondments, at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden and at King’s College London, UK.

The SurgASSIST project aims to improve surgical care by changing the way surgeons are educated. The SurgASSIST project provides an online educational program, the INCISION Academy, that uses 3D visualizations (stereoscopic videos and animations) to teach surgical procedures step-by-step, based on state-of-the-art scientific research and best-practice surgical care. Surgery is a three dimensional trade and the use of 3D stereoscopic techniques creates a unique and realistic online environment in which residents and surgeons can learn, train and be tested on best-practice based surgical procedures and anatomy. With the INCISION Academy prototype, the value of this innovative educational approach has been demonstrated. To reach market introduction of the INCISION Academy, the SurgASSIST consortium will undertake activities to establish a strong value chain from production to distribution: (1) complete the INCISION Academy curriculum, (2) add 3D virtual reality online surgery to increase product value, (3) establish the LMS system for worldwide distribution, and (4) create the commercialisation strategy. Potential users, surgical residents, surgical trainers, and surgeons, cope with an ever increasing workload and need tools to relieve work pressure and improve quality. After this project, the INCISION Academy will be available as worldwide surgical online training tool to train surgical residents with higher quality than before while saving time of surgical trainers. In addition, the INCISION Academy provides a timesaving online alternative for continued medical education of surgeons (CME). The European markets for training of surgical residents and CME amount to € 187,5 and € 158 million respectively. The easy-access, unparalleled high quality, and use of 3D technologies places the INCISION Academy in an excellent commercial position to acquire a significant market share in Europe and subsequently in the USA, China, Southern America and developing countries.

The Brain Dynamics of Human Fluid Intelligence (NEUROINTELLIGENCE)

Human fluid intelligence is characterized by a structured sequence of cognition, resulting in efficient application of rules to novel problems. In the brain, metabolic neuroimaging and lesion studies have linked fluid intelligence to a specific frontoparietal network, here called the multiple-demand (MD) network, comprising regions of lateral frontal, insular, dorsomedial frontal and parietal cortex. But how do MD functions determine fluid intelligence across stages of cognition? My extensive expertise in electroencephalography (EEG) source analyses and neural pattern classification techniques will allow me to assess time-resolved neural representations of novel rules in MD and perceptual cortex as a function of fluid intelligence, as well as the causal impact of MD cortex on earliest stages of perceptual encoding. Higher- and lower-intelligent subjects’ electrophysiological (EEG) and behavioural measures of novel rule implementation will be systematically analysed. Non-invasive neural stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)) will be used in combination with EEG to draw causal conclusions on the specific role of MD and perceptual cortices in human fluid intelligence. My novel analysis approach may provide a new account on fluid intelligence: one aspect of low fluid intelligence may be the dysfunctional early filtering of task-relevant information in perceptual cortex, due to lack of top-down control from MD cortices, leading to sensory overload on later processing stages. The proposal’s outcomes will be both of high academic and commercial interest. Understanding the brain signatures underlying fluid intelligence is essential for more specific and cost-effective medical interventions. For example, decline of fluid intelligence due to healthy ageing is strongly correlated with high-cost medical conditions such as depression, which affect an increasing number of people in the ageing European population.

ESCAPE-2 will develop world-class, extreme-scale computing capabilities for European operational numerical weather and climate prediction, and provide the key components for weather and climate domain benchmarks to be deployed on extreme-scale demonstrators and beyond. This will be achieved by developing bespoke and novel mathematical and algorithmic concepts, combining them with proven methods, and thereby reassessing the mathematical foundations forming the basis of Earth system models. ESCAPE-2 also invests in significantly more productive programming models for the weather-climate community through which novel algorithm development will be accelerated and future-proofed. Eventually, the project aims at providing exascale-ready production benchmarks to be operated on extreme-scale demonstrators (EsD) and beyond. ESCAPE-2 combines cross-disciplinary uncertainty quantification tools (URANIE) for high-performance computing, originating from the energy sector, with ensemble based weather and climate models to quantify the effect of model and data related uncertainties on forecasting – a capability, which weather and climate prediction has pioneered since the 1960s. The mathematics and algorithmic research in ESCAPE-2 will focus on implementing data structures and tools supporting parallel computation of dynamics and physics on multiple scales and multiple levels. Highly-scalable spatial discretization will be combined with proven large time-stepping techniques to optimize both time-to-solution and energy-to-solution. Connecting multi-grid tools, iterative solvers, and overlapping computations with flexible-order spatial discretization will strengthen algorithm resilience against soft or hard failure. In addition, machine learning techniques will be applied for accelerating complex sub-components. The sum of these efforts will aim at achieving at the same time: performance, resilience, accuracy and portability.

The EFFECT-SME project’s main objective is to enhance the quality of start-ups’/SMEs’ innovation support programmes through the development of an efficient and effective methodology assessing the impact of the support programmes on start-ups/SMEs. Assessment of the effectiveness of start-ups’/SMEs’ supporting measures and adaptation of lessons learned into the modification of current start-up/SME support programmes is the key aspect to continuous improvement of support and the policy itself. The aim of the project is to achieve improved, targeted and more efficient support to start-ups and SMEs. The project partners will share own approaches to complete them with relevant desk research outputs, developing new topics and approaches to more effective monitoring and evaluation and to put the new impact methodology into practice. The project consortium will apply Twinning+ methodology via 3 peer learning interactive workshops focused on impact evaluation of start-up/SME support programmes from different perspectives of 3 partners – combining different levels of experience, methodology approaches and balanced geographic scope: Czechia (MSIC), Germany (S2i) and Spain (Madri+d). The desk research on available methodologies will complete the peer-learning of the partners. The Design Option Paper (DOP) on efficient impact evaluation will stand for the key deliverable of the project. The innovative methodology will be disseminated through numerous business support networks for further exploitation by innovation agencies (IA) in Europe. Project duration: 3/2021 – 2/2022 Budget: 50 000 Euro

Circularise offers a blockchain-based transparency solution to provide absolute proof for the circular economy, sustainability and recycling practices of manufacturers at any stage of the supply chain. Circularise enables value chain transparency without disclosure of datasets or supply chain partners. The portal uses decentralized, encrypted data to track material characteristics of products which are not distinguishable by disassembling the product, e.g. whether, and which proportion recycled materials have been employed. The system uses a virtual currency and chemical tracer to make supply chain transparency fraud-proof and certify materials. Different from paper-based information sharing which, in 65% of the cases, doesn't even go past tier 1 suppliers, the system does not require the entire supply chain to be known, cooperating, or certified. The technology decreases auditing and production costs due to a smaller number of audited parties. Validatable claims are traded directly from the material manufacturer to the brand owner no matter how far along the supply chain the manufacturer is. The resulting affordable recycled material will increase the market share of sustainable products and make them attainable for average customers. The possibility to increase revenue through circular economy business models makes it an intrinsically motivated development. The possibility to increase revenue through circular economy business models revolutionizes the sector turning it from a necessity due to external expectations to an intrinsically motivated development. The proof provided by Circularise allows monetization of the sustainability practices and creates an intrinsic motivation for circularity in our economy.
