90% of all construction projects are subjected to budget overruns and time delays causing hundreds of billions of euros in annual losses, in fact, €472 billion was spent on construction errors in 2018. These continuous failures occur as direct result of workflow errors during constructions projects (miscommunication between stakeholders, long decision-making processes, misinterpretations of construction elements and insufficient colapse detection). Thus, AEC companies are seeking for a cost-effective, automated, collaborative and easy-to-use productivity-enhancing technology to optimize the projects lifecycle. This demand is boosting the growth of the High-end Virtual-Reality VR data visualisation (€131,1 billion as expected market value by 2021). We, at HEGIAS AG, are developing the world’s first browser-based and automated Virtual Reality Content Management System, HEGIAS VR, that will not only democratize Virtual Reality for the first time, but will also enhance available digital 3D-models (CAD, BIM) making them fully exploitable and collaborative with the aim to streamline the workflow of construction projects. We target private construction companies. We have successful implemented current HEGIAS VR version in 10 real-life projects with ground-breaking results establishing customer-relationships with leading Swiss companies. Outcomes from our real-life projects showed workflow optimization and decision-making process improvement by 90%, and cost reduction by 45%. HEGIAS VR not only creates added-value to our customers, but also to the citizens and the urban environment – real-time meetings at remote locations avoid extensive business travels, thus contributing to reduction of the carbon footprint. Through the completion of our project we expect to generate revenues of approx. €23,5 million by 2026 (40x times the turnover generated in 2018), with a promising ROI of 10, and 30 new employees across Europe.

The PAnaMoL project aims at systematising proof theory for modal logics. We intend to provide a unified perspective on sequent-style calculi and a deeper understanding of the general connections between axiom systems and sequent-style calculi for such logics. In detail the research objectives are - The systematic development of suitable syntactic characterisations of classes of modal axioms corresponding to natural formats of rules in different sequent-style frameworks (e.g. sequent, hypersequent, nested sequent or display calculi) including algorithmic translations from axioms to rules and back. - A systematic comparison of the different sequent-style frameworks according to their expressive strength. - The exploitation of these results in the investigation of: classification results stating necessary and sufficient proof-theoretic strength for important examples of logics such as GL and S5; uniform decidability and complexity results for large classes of logics; general consistency proofs. The research conducted in the project will be of relevance to researchers in all fields where modal logics are used to model complex phenomena and provide easy-to-use results and methods for the proof-theoretic investigation and implementation of newly developed modal logics.

European Water utilities environment is embedded in a context dealing with global issues such as water scarcity and technical-economic issues such as infrastructure aging. Management of drinking water supply is facing key challenges partly related to traditional water meter, such as managing capital and operational costs; water loss (also known as non-revenue water) due to leaks and other system failures; and water scarcity/conservation. The core of the solution lies in the renewed access and use of accurate data that Smart Water Metering can provide to decrease operating costs, identify performance issues, improve customer service and better prioritize infrastructure investments. SMART.MET strongly paves the way to a more efficient management providing for example automatic reading of the household meters and billing, real time assessment of water balance for leak detection, identification of abnormal behaviors and awareness-raising, ability to identify user-meters defaults. However, the lack of common European standards and lack of “open technological platforms” combined to the high transaction cost on the demand side create a lock-in situation in the market and determine a situation of long-term dependency of water operators on technology providers. This determines high average operating costs for water operators and users, as well as collective inefficiency related to the multiplication of different proprietary solutions on the offer side. The objective of the proposal is thus to drive the development of new technologies to manage smart metering data collection and management, driven by a group of 7 water utilities through a joint Pre Commercial Procurement (PCP). They are supported by 6 expert organizations for assessing the technologies, implement the new procurement procedures and disseminate the outcomes of the project to other utilities and solutions suppliers. The duration of the project is 48 months.

The objective of INSPIRO and MADE FOR MOVEMENT with this business innovation project is to introduce a new ICT solution in the market of adult disabled people: DuoTrainer, a robotic system to allow people that cannot walk or stand by their own practise neurorehabilitation training at their homes autonomously. There are 45 million people in Europe that can benefit from this machine. Only 15-to-30% of people receiving exercise as part of their therapy follow the recommended dosage, and 35% do not perform any exercise at all, because there is no way for adult people to do it by themselves, and they lack motivation to persevere. DuoTrainer will break those barriers, thanks to: a transfer mechanism to get up without external assistance, a training machine to help users move their legs, and a gaming interface that gives them feedback and an enjoyable training environment. This is a totally new solution, unique in the market. All other devices are bulky, need several people assisting the patient, or are so expensive that cannot be afforded by the patients or their families. This is a lightweight machine, which will be sold at a similar price as basic assistive devices, and can be used at home by the patient at any time. It will improve the patients’ quality of life, and save referrals to tertiary centres and millions of euros to public health care. DuoTrainer, invented by INSPIRO, will be produced and distributed internationally by MADE FOR MOVEMENT, starting from their current geographic market (20 countries), and extending it to North America and other countries in successive years. For this we will conduct a feasibility study in Phase 1, in order to improve the final quality of the product, make agreements with suppliers, address regulatory and IPR issues, define our commercialisation strategy, and elaborate a business plan. In Phase 2 we expect to perform a pilot study to demonstrate DuoTrainer in a real environment, and have it ready for commercialisation in Phase 3.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia, accounts for 1/3rd of Cardiovascular expenses, with over 10 millions affected in Europe. In addition to significant impact on quality of life, AF exposes patients to stroke, heart failure, dementia and death. AF is the most commonly ablated arrhythmia. The Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of AF ablation, preventing recurrences, especially in patients with paroxysmal AF. Catheter ablation of AF uses either radio-frequency (RF) or cryothermal (cryo) energy. Common to these thermal energy sources is their reliance on time-dependent conductive heating/cooling and the fact that these modalities ablate all tissue types indiscriminately. The ablation procedure remains long, requires skills and expertise, and has a limited success rate, mostly because of non-durable lesions after PVI implying frequent redo procedures. And these energies are associated with rare but severe complications due to their thermal nature. The goal of BEAT AF is to disrupt AF ablation by achieving durable PVI with permanent, coalescent and transmural ablation lesions using Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) energy. PEF is non-thermal and creates nanoscale pores in cell membranes. Cardiac cells are highly sensitive to PEF unlike phrenic and oesophageal cells. BEAT AF aims to demonstrate that PEF ablation is faster, more effective and safer (tissue selectivity) than RF or cryo ablation. For this purpose, two distinct randomized clinical trials will be conducted: 1) to provide first comparative evidence of the superiority of PEF over RF on the rate of 1-year recurrence for paroxysmal AF, and 2) to provide first evidence of potential efficacy of PEF on the rate of 1-year clinical recurrence for persistent AF. The BEAT AF consortium gathers 9 European renowned clinical centres (France, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Belgium) to set the ground for large trials and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe.

This interdisciplinary project, EQUBUILD, investigates architectural strategies that enhance democratic social equality in public buildings Sweden, from 1921 to the present, yet not fully understood and thus, will contribute to empower architects, urban-planners, decision-makers and citizens with new knowledge and practical recommendations to fight inequalities for a more cohesive society. To reinforce citizens’ opportunities for equality through public buildings, promoting more balanced living standards and peaceful cities, we urgently need new architectural design knowledge and actionable design strategies. Public buildings can be a tool for the administrations and society to support citizens’ equality as a basic human right, a global concern addressed by UN SDG 10 and a core value of the EU. However, there is scarce knowledge and no thorough studies on how to promote social equality through evidence-based design strategies in public buildings. Bridging this gap, I will innovatively conduct the 1st systematic case study analysis of public buildings in Swedish cities, unveiling what and how design strategies enhance societal equality in each case. I will leverage on feedback from international and interdisciplinary experts, a mix-methods methodology linking archival research, field work, interviews, theory and practice and my experience as researcher and practicing architect. EQUBUILD will deliver new knowledge, presenting architecture as an active tool in implementing equality measures: a novel theory, database, relational maps, network diagrams, and an array of recommendations and design strategies to influence contemporary architectural designs, architects, urban designers, policy-makers, researchers and the rest of society. The impact of implementation of results will: open new research paths in EU, contribute to UN SDGs; consolidate a novel field in architecture; facilitate gender equality, reinforce citizens’ equality, balanced and peaceful cities.

The age at which people have their children has increased tremendously since the 1970s in the low fertility countries. The reasons for delayed reproduction have been explored extensively, but very little attention has been given to the factors that facilitate and constrain fertility at later ages (from age 30). Yet, the desire and ability of those who did not have children in their 20s to have them later (“fertility recuperation”) is decisive for future fertility levels, and for life satisfaction among those who wish children. BIC.LATE will fill this gap by studying the biological, individual and contextual factors of later reproduction in the low-fertility countries, and possible catch-up behaviour of those who did not have a child earlier. In this new perspective, we will: 1) Measure the effect of biological limits on fertility recuperation with contemporary data for women and men, accounting for changes in Assisted Reproductive Technologies; 2) Identify the remaining individual factors of later fertility (demographic and socio-economic) among women and men, exploring factors more relevant at that ages (health, dedication to work); 3) Understand to what extent the structural and cultural context of a country (e.g. policies, economic situation, social norms) matters for fertility recuperation in a comparative perspective; 4) Estimate the link of these factors with fertility recuperation and draw cutting-edge meta-scenarios of cohort fertility. We will use data from social surveys (cross-sectional, panels) and aggregate cohort fertility data in Europe, the English-speaking oversea countries and East Asia, and data from a fertility clinic in Vienna. The research design includes survival analysis on panel data and on retrospective family history, aggregate correlations and cohort fertility projections. BIC.LATE will inform policy makers about the major contextual drivers of future fertility, using clearly articulated storylines and their associated scenarios.

1 child out of 4 suffers from chronic bullying, which is related to lower academic achievement and less engagement in schools. Cyberbullying is a rapidly growing form of violence that increased among children aged 11-16 from 7% in 2010 to 12 % in 2014. With SpeakUp & LearnUp, we provide a unique solution that consists of three elements: Our SpeakUp mobile app offers students of all ages a simple, intuitive way to quickly and anonymously report any type of bullying or dangerous behaviours to their school or university. We know that the most effective way of preventing bullying is education. This is why we are building the LearnUp digital education platform. This programme allows teachers to access ideas about which programs to implement to solve bullying and conflicts. Our team is composed of experts who combine science, business, communications and education. The SpeakUp app has been tested as a sole offer to market during a year, and we already have schools in Sweden, Norway, France, the Netherlands, the UK, US, Mexico and India that have used and/or shown interest. At present we have ~120,000 students in the system and ~200 schools in the pipeline. They will be our first clients for SpeakUp & LearnUp as indicated in their interest. Bullying and discrimination have become serious concerns at national, European and international level. Early in 2015, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) passed a Resolution on ending cyber discrimination and online hate calling on Member States to take measures and recognize the diverse grounds on which people are targeted; the rapidly evolving forms of online hate; and the media through which it is disseminated. We will use the SME Instrument to build out LearnUp and integrate it with SpeakUp. These are directly relevant to the company’s strategy as to succeed in its mission of creating a non-violent environment for young people.
