Addressing right ventricular (RV) failure through mechanical circulatory support remains an intricate challenge, impacting patients' overall Quality of Life. Existing solutions are hindered by exorbitant costs, intricate device setups, infection risks, limited blood flow control, and hemocompatibility. Additionally, all patients with left ventricular assist devices face the risk of chronic RV failure. Despite a substantial untapped market for adult RV failure, there remains a critical gap in clinically-approved mechanical assist devices. The HeartWise initiative aims to revolutionize RV support with a dedicated device tailored to disease and eliminating the need for external power sources or control units. HeartWise builds upon two societally viable early-stage ERC-PoC technologies initially developed for the niche yet humanitarian pediatric device market. We aim to extend their application to adult disease markets, beginning with the MENA and European regions. The project integrates these two PoC technologies: circulation support devices that operate without external power AND patient-specific customized cardiovascular surgical planning. HeartWise aims to advance a revolutionary, fully implantable MCS prototype, akin to an artificial mechanical heart, for practical clinical implementation. This disruptive innovation marks a significant departure in ventricle assist devices, as it operates autonomously within the body without reliance on external power. Offering powerless circulatory support and globally accessible interactive patient-specific hemodynamic customization through the internet, we aim to scale-up these technologies to penetrate adult cardiovascular disease markets. Notably, it addresses a substantial market, serving a significant number of adult right heart failure patients. Our strategy involves rigorous testing, refinement of business prospects, and close collaboration with EU stakeholders.

Our data-intensive era requires innovative and sustainable data storage solutions: current technologies have hit several sustainability limits in terms of storage capacity, energy consumption and use of rare and toxic materials. A significant share of new data is not yet stored beyond the short term, and conventional storage media do not offer adequate longevity, data density or cost efficiency characteristics to meet global demand. As nature’s data storage medium of choice, DNA offers an ideal alternative with unmatched information density and stability for millennia. The PEARL-DNA multidisciplinary consortium aims to develop and assess a novel high-throughput, end-to-end PoC platform for DNA-based digital data storage built on scalable and interoperable systems for block-by-block assembled DNA. The consortium aims to substantially advance the state of the art in terms of throughput and data integrity for the mid- to long-term storage of large datasets. The innovative platform will enable 10+ MB/s data-to-DNA writing speeds in sub-nanolitre droplet DNA assembly for the very first time, while eliminating the need for plastic consumables. In addition, novel error correction, compression and data standard modules will be developed, as well as a cutting-edge storage container system for maintenance-free, long-term preservation of DNA at room temperature. The fully modular and interoperable platform will facilitate integration with other DNA-based storage solutions and accelerate the uptake of the technology. Using DNA as a commercially viable and widely applicable data storage medium strongly relies on intertwining a wide range of technologies from multiple disciplines, such as life sciences, engineering and information technology. PEARL-DNA brings together three renowned research groups and three innovative SMEs to anchor the European innovation ecosystem into the global DNA-based digital data storage space.

Emergent technologies open new avenues for industry and society but rarely create an open and inclusive space to think through their implications. Quantum Computing (QC) currently represents a change in paradigm by offering a unique opportunity to rethink computation from its very inception. In its effects and applications, this is also the time and space to approach creative practice in an entirely new way. IIMPAQCT (Integrated Interdisciplinary Music Practice And Quantum Computing Technologies) explores ways to expand and diversify the community engaged with QC, and its epistemological and praxical connection to the Creative Arts with emphasis in Music. Recent explorations in QC and Music, as well as in the Visual Arts domain, have been pursued in isolation and even detached from contextual artistic practice and theory. The lack of real integration, that engages creative artists in the QC theoretical discussion and practical explorations, makes the distance between Art and Science even wider and hinders the sustainability of a truly diverse society, both socio-culturally and technologically. IIMPAQCT aims to develop and reinforce new interdisciplinary links connecting Arts, Science and Technology through 3 main intertwined research-work dimensions: i) an Artistic dimension promoting a network of creative practitioners engaging with QC while empowering them to be active participants in the field development; ii) a Technologic-Scientific dimension focusing on the improvement and creation of practical tools and methods towards an intersectoral innovation; and iii) a Curricular dimension that unfolds with the creation of study and research spaces in QC and Arts, as spaces for knowledge/theory construction, as well as analysis and multi-artistic creations. This project uses principles of open access by engaging with a local/global community of musicians and artists.

The study of giant earthquakes and tsunamis is essential in modern hazards assessment. However, these natural disasters have a long recurrence time, and instrumental as historical records are inadequate to reduce uncertainties in hazards predictions. Submarine paleoseismology is a novel approach that combines sedimentology and marine geology to identify, describe and date earthquake deposits. Its strength relies on covering much longer periods than instrumental or historical catalogues. Recent technological advances have allowed to correlate homogenite-turbidite deposits (HmTu) with seismic and tsunami events. Along the Japan Trench, the oceanographic cruise IODP 386 drilled and cored the deepest HmTu records in the scientific ocean drilling history. DEEP will use these unique seismic and tsunami sediment archives to 1)estimate their long-term recurrence time, 2) reduce epistemic uncertainties in hazards assessment and 3) provide the most complete on-and-offshore catalogue of giant events over several thousands of years. I will develop tools to unravel prehistorical events using an innovative multiproxy approach using micro-X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images, physical and geochemical properties along with marine geophysical datasets and chronostratigraphic correlations. Integration with onshore records will produce the first database of its kind for Japan and other high-risk areas worldwide, improving knowledge on seismic cycles and reducing the data uncertainties used by scientists and decision-makers. The governments need these crucial tools to take the necessary measures to protect their population and infrastructures. DEEP will result in a clear three-way-transfer of complementary skills in between myself (deep-marine sedimentary processes), the host institution (geological hazards assessment) and the partner institution (submarine paleoseismology). I will develop new skills in micro-XCT, computational merging, earthquake modelling and geohazards assessment.

Building on the findings from our previous ERC PoC project, FLUO, the HYPERIA project will develop a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) camera that uses Fourier Transform (FT) interferometry to capture a detailed light spectrum across its wavelength range for each pixel in the 2D field-of-vision. This constitutes a novel detection approach that will dramatically expand the wavelength range and sensitivity at low light intensities for HSI camera. With its VIS-SWIR range (400-1700nm), the camera will be able to capture visible features, key SWIR ?fingerprints? for physiochemical analysis and fluorescence signals from non-visible features. The HYPERIA camera will have a wide range of possible applications and we will demonstrate it to TRL6 in monitoring of food freshness and composition, plastic waste separation, analysis of fine arts and remote sensing/inspection of building materials. Current HSI cameras are limited to narrow wavelength ranges, so these forms of applications require two or more costly devices and difficult and time-consuming integration of different data sources. The HYPERIA camera will accomplish the task in one device yielding a single hyperspectral datacube at a hitherto inaccessible level of sensitivity and at a lower total cost. In parallel to this, we will obtain market, competitor, and regulatory intelligence to establish our business model, price- and cost model and potential positioning within the market for our prioritised application area, food production and safety monitoring. This will place us in an advantageous position to advance the HYPERIA camera to TRL9 and market readiness after the end of the proposed project.

According to long-term goals of EU, renewable hydrogen will become an energy vector for decarbonisation of the EU economy. The technology of solid oxide-based electrolysers (SOEL) can become a key technological advantage for EU to become a world leader in hydrogen economy. The Hy-SPIRE project aims at further boosting the potential of SOEL by lowering the operating temperature below 700°C, and increasing its flexibility in order to fit with RES generation profiles. Within the project, novel cells will be developed towards achieving strict KPIs such as low degradation equal to or lower than 0.75% per 1,000 h, operation at high current densities ca. 1.2 A/cm^2 and ability to operate dynamically and fast ramping. The goal will be reach by the means of developing and applying new materials, advanced manufacturing techniques and optimized cell and stack designs. The Hy-SPIRE project will aim at developing oxygen ion- and proton-conducting cells (O-SOE and P-SOE, respectively) on both, ceramic and metallic supports, therefore analysing broad range of technological possibilities. The new cells and stacks will go beyond the SoA technology in terms of designs, performance and operation. The consortium of the project brings together a recognized European stack manufacturer (SolydEra), top players in the development of materials for SOCs, expertise in fabrication as well as unique testing capacities and know-how in technology assessment. Techno-economic analysis, supported by the LCA will be used for the evaluation of project novelties and the market potential. The project will cover definition of barriers and research directions to achieve SRIA objectives such as reduction of hydrogen production cost to 3 €/kg by 2030, reduction of CAPEX 520 €/(kg/kW) and OPEX 45 €/(kg/kW). Moreover the technology of cells and stacks – the effects of Hy-SPIRE – will be designed for large-scale production, and tailored for coupling with RES and other industry sectors.

The use and importance of advanced technologies is continuously increasing in the corporate world. Technology is changing how investors interact with companies, how investors analyze and interpret the information provided by companies, and even the standard design of compensation in corporations. The goal of this study is to understand whether and how the increasing presence of technology is improving corporations and contributing to the wealth and prosperity of individuals/ investors, and when it is not. I will focus on the following three pillars that each focus on a unique technological development: (1) Communication with shareholders. Aim: To understand whether shareholders’ voice at shareholder meetings is muted following the shift of shareholder meetings from the in-person to the virtual-only arena (due to Covid-19). Initial findings indicate that this shift has minimized communication between shareholders and firms and allowed firms to strategically avoid addressing questions submitted by shareholders. (2) Environment and social (ES) issues. Aim: To understand whether investors pay attention to what firms say they do on ES issues, or what they actually do. Natural language processing (NLP) will be used to evaluate which actions firms state that they take with respect to ES, and these will be compared to the ES actions firms actually take. Initial results indicate that the market rewards firms that state they take actions promoting ES goals, but not firms that actually take such actions. (3) Compensation. – Aim: To examine how the characteristics of employees (e.g., gender) working in the tech industry relate to the EBC they receive, and their ability to maximize the value of their EBC and changes the economic landscape and welfare of individuals.
