ADAM5 aims to advance the development of the composite of three concepts: Massive MIMO, post-OFDM Multicarrier Waveforms (MWF) and full-duplex (FD), a new and most promising direction in 5G & beyond. ADAM5 will substantially contribute to the development of practical solutions to enable highly spectral-efficient, very low-cost and highly energy-efficient 5G systems. ADAM5 target is to propose new digital signal processing based solutions coping with the expected 5G requirements, with a particular focus on mitigating RF impairments and reducing energy consumption of wireless devices, through a set of new algorithms and advanced techniques. The goals of the ADAM5 are to: 1) Analyze the effect of the most essential RF impairments on the quality of future wireless communications exploiting 5G MWFs based Massive MIMO with FD capability in terms of capacity, BER and PSD. 2) Develop reliable digital signal processing based solutions to mitigate RF impairments on both the transmitter and receiver sides of 5G communication systems. This will enable extensive use of low-cost and low-power components (e.g. mMTC devices in IoT), reduced latency, flexibility to accommodate various services, simplification of the multiple access, and robustness to interference. 3) Drastically reduce the emitted RF power so that the total energy consumption of a mobile network is lowered when implemented with simple, low-power hardware. Joint optimization for MWF design and Massive MIMO precoding technique will be studied. 4) Introduce new efficient joint approach for PAPR reduction and PA linearization adapted to the more pertinent 5G MWF based Massive MIMO with FD capability. Trade-off between efficiency and linearity will be theoretically analyzed. 5) Build a laboratory measurement and prototyping system that will be used for analysis verifications and algorithm performance assessments using true-world radio signal measurements.

Fault-tolerant topological quantum computation has become one of the most exciting research directions in modern condensed matter physics. As a key operation the braiding of non-Abelian anyons has been proposed theoretically. Such exotic quasiparticles can be realized as zero-energy Majorana bound states at the ends of one-dimensional magnetic nanowires in proximity to s-wave superconductors in the presence of high spin-orbit coupling. In contrast to previous attempts to realize such systems experimentally, based on the growth of semiconducting nanowires or the self-assembly of ferromagnetic nanowires on s-wave superconductors, we propose to design Majorana bound states in artificially constructed single-atom chains with non-collinear spin-textures on elemental superconducting substrates using scanning tunnelling microscope (STM)-based atom manipulation techniques. We would like to study at the atomic level the formation of Shiba bands as a result of hybridization of individual Shiba impurity states as well as the emergence of zero-energy Majorana bound states as a function of chain structure, length, and composition. Moreover, we will construct model-type platforms, such as T-junctions, rings, and more complex network structures with atomic-scale precision as a basis for demonstrating the manipulation and braiding of Majorana bound states. We will make use of sophisticated experimental techniques, such as spin-resolved scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) at micro-eV energy resolution, scanning Josephson tunnelling spectroscopy, and multi-probe STS under well-defined ultra-high vacuum conditions, in order to directly probe the nature of the magnetic state of the atomic wires, the spin-polarization of the emergent Majorana states, as well as the spatial nature of the superconducting order parameter in real space. Finally, we will try to directly probe the quantum exchange statistics of non-Abelian anyons in these atomically precise fabricated model-type systems.

260,000 craniotomies are performed each year in Europe and USA to remove brain tumours and treat brain lesions and injuries. The implants used to replace the flap bone are currently made in plastics and titanium mesh, which are not transparent to ultrasounds (US), meaning that US cannot trespass them. Intelligenza Trasparente is an Italian start-up specialized in biomedical engineering and neurosurgical image-processing which has developed and patented INTRA, the first implantable prosthesis that allows ultrasound (US) to trespass the skull after neurosurgical procedures. INTRA allows to replace MRI scans (the standard brain imaging method) with US scans for the diagnostic follow-up of the brain pathology (in particular) and for assessing the effectiveness of adjuvant cancer therapies, e.g. chemotherapy and radiotherapy. MRI machines and scans are very expensive, and they availability is limited, forcing patients to long waiting lists. US scans have the same imaging efficacy, but are much cheaper, and the machine are available in every hospital. The result is significant savings for National Health Systems. More importantly, INTRA will enable the use of effective treatments of both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases which are currently unavailable for brain due to the skull barrier to ultrasound, like HIFU, and will unleash the full potentiality of ultrasound for opening the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). The Phase 1 project will be key to define and accurately plan the next certification steps required to commercialize the product (EU mark for medical device and FDA clearance in US). We will also consolidate the business model, precisely assess the expected benefits for the customers, analyse the potential market, and streamline the marketing and distribution strategy.

The primary aim of the action is the construction and analysis of new predictive and verifiable mathematical models that can uncover the effects of time delays upon various cell biology processes. In this timely project we aim to apply cutting edge functional differential equation techniques to interrogate a number of cell biology processes of huge current interest, including collective cell movement, tumour growth and self-organizing pattern formation. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop new mathematical ways to understand and control cell biology processes. The successful outcome of this project will be robust and experimentally testable mathematical theories that can be applied to a wide variety of biological and medical problems, whenever temporal delays are relevant. The researcher will be intensively trained in areas of mathematical biology that are new to him, by exploring a range of cell biology processes that are the focus of current state-of-the-art research efforts within the Oxford mathematical biology group, and investigate the role of delayed feedbacks and memory effects in these processes. These mathematical models will share common mathematical themes and challenges. Thus while being exposed to these fundamental areas of mathematical biology (cell motility, tumour growth, wound healing, pattern formation, development etc.), we aim, simultaneously, to develop new mathematical tools that have a wide range of important and timely biological applications. The researcher will be fully integrated into the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford. The project will allow him to significantly broaden his area of expertise and initiate new long term collaborations.

IMAJINE aims to formulate new integrative policy mechanisms to enable European, national and regional government agencies to more effectively address territorial inequalities within the European Union. It responds to evidence that spatial inequalities within the EU are increasing, contrary to the principle of territorial cohesion embedded as a third dimension of the European Social Model in the Treaty of Lisbon, and is particularly timely in examining the geographically differentiated impacts of the post-2008 economic crisis and the adoption of austerity policies. IMAJINE uniquely proposes to address the problem of territorial inequalities through an inter-disciplinary and multi-scalar approach that integrates perspectives from economics, human geography, political science and sociology and combines macro-scale econometric analysis and the generation and analysis of new quantitative survey data with regionally-focused qualitative empirical case study research in 11 EU member states; delivered by a multi-disciplinary and multi-national consortium. As such the research builds on the conceptual and methodological state of the art in several disciplines and advances conceptual understanding and the empirical knowledge base by producing new primary data, applying new analytical tests to secondary data and integrating the results along with insights from relational geographical theory and the concept of spatial justice. In particular, the centrality of spatial justice emphasizes the political as well as economic dimensions of territorial inequalities, and IMAJINE will move beyond existing knowledge by considering relationships between measured and perceived inequalities, models of multi-level policy-making and public service delivery, and support for territorial autonomy movements. IMAJINE will further translate these scientific insights into policy applications through participatory scenario building exercises with governance and civil society stakeholders.

The project Smart4Europe responds to ICT-04-2017, Smart Anything Everywhere (SAE) Initiative, scope b), Coordination and Support Actions. In recent years innovation in products and services is to an increasing extent based on digitisation. Prominent examples are consumer products like smart phones, autonomous driving, Industrie 4.0 etc. Digitisation enables enhanced or new functionalities in most products and services. A key question is “How to optimise the transformation of this potential?” Especially SMEs need an easy access to digitisation technologies. Here SAE will help by pooling different offers in a one-stop-shop. The concept of Smart4Europe is to serve SAE at three levels: • the Commission • projects aligned to SAE and • all parties interested in SAE, with a focus on SMEs and mid-caps. The ultimate goals of Smart4Europe are to provide support in: • reinforcing the collaboration between projects supported under SAE • increasing their outreach and impact • providing wide coverage of stakeholders in technological, application, innovation, and geographic terms. In order to achieve this, Smart4Europe will expand an existing website to create an Innovation Portal, provide a service centre; facilitate brokerage; coordinate communication and dissemination activities; help in sharing best practices and experiences; create a Technology Radar to identify technologies SAE can benefit from; and last but not least, establish links to regional/national initiatives to leverage investments and stimulate growth. Smart4Europe is driven by a strong consortium of partners that have already demonstrated their commitment and engaged for several years in shaping the SAE Initiative. Under the SAE umbrella there will be a growing number of projects, focusing on different technology domains and positions in the innovation cycle – Smart4Europe will include all of them, bringing together the community, helping it to grow organically and catalysing digitisation throughout Europe.

Despite all its successes, the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are well-known: for instance the origin of its flavour structure, the absence of a dark matter candidate, or the strong CP problem. While many of the new physics models aiming at solving them rely on new particles around the TeV scale, this is neither a requirement nor the simplest solution in many cases. In fact, new light but Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) often represent the most straightforward solution, with deep implications for flavour physics, dark matter, astrophysics and cosmology. As particle physics enters a new era of “precision”, dozens of experiments, ranging from the High Luminosity LHC to neutrinos experiments, will have the potential to search for such particles. FlavourFIPs aims at exploring the uncharted links between such versatile new physics candidates and the Standard Model flavour problem. The applicant will develop novel cutting-edge theoretical tools to study the GeV-scale phenomenology of FIPs, including in particular a unified effective field theory description of new flavoured light particles at this scale. Postulating the existence of a UV-theory designed to solve the flavour problem, FlavourFIPs will then reshape the FIPs parameter space for current and upcoming intensity frontier experiments. In particular, the project will explore how a long-lived FIP could be produced via flavour-violating processes then detected in neutrinos or dedicated LHC-based detectors. Closing the loop, FlavourFIPs will finally investigate if FIPs can participate in creating the flavour anomalies potentially observed in B-mesons decays, and beyond, investigate FIPs role in complete theories of flavour. Throughout the fellowship, the dissemination activities will reinforce the position of Europe in the intensity frontier international community and will participate in shaping the future experimental landscape, in particular for future HL-LHC-based experiments.

Despite its critical influence on the generation and differentiation of the Earth´s continental crust, much uncertainty exists yet on the composition of primary silicate melts produced by the anatexis of crustal materials. This is due to the absence of an accurate method to obtain these primary melt compositions, as common approximations such as leucosomes, experiments and thermodynamic modeling, are associated with numerous problems. A recent breakthrough on our knowledge on this issue has been the discovery of melt inclusion in anatectic migmatites. These melt inclusions, referred as "nanogranites", have been surprisingly preserved upon the slow cooling of anatectic rocks at depth, and record the process of melting of lower crust or subducting crustal material. Nanogranites open for the first time a completely new window into the birth of crustal melts, and will provide a breakthrough toward our understanding of the generation and differentiation of the Earth´s crust. This project will provide the composition of nanogranites from a variety of crustal lithologies (metapelites, metagraywackes, metagabbros), geodynamic scenarios (lower crust, subduction zones, continental arcs) and ages (30 to 100 Ma), and their implications on the growth and differentiation of the continental crust. This will be done by conducting high-pressure piston cylinder remelting experiments on migmatites hosting nanogranites, by charactering the experimental run products by state-of-the-art analytical techniques, and by developing thermodynamic and geochemical models based on the composition of the analyzed migmatites and nanogranites. The project will be conducted at the Australian National University (outgoing host institution, Canberra, Australia), hosting a world-class experimental laboratory and state-of-the-art analytical equipment; and at the Università di Padova (return host institution, Padova, Italy), equipped with first-class analytical techniques.
