The assessment of the quality of a musical instrument, both from a physical and a perceptual point of view, has been the object of much research in the past and in more recent years. These studies have tried to associate peculiarities in the instrument's mechanical behavior (i.e. its vibrations) to its sound properties, and to how these are perceived by a performer or audience. A key aspect in the interaction with a musical instrument that is increasingly being investigated, is the haptic feedback which results from the mechanical interaction between performer and instrument. Haptic perception is an umbrella term that encompasses both the tactile and proprioceptive sense, and it is known to be a crucial element in expert music performance. Even though haptic perception plays such a critical role in musical interaction, relatively little effort has been invested so far into characterizing the haptic behavior of a musical instrument and into how this affects musicians' perception. With HAPTIFEEL, we aim at developing a methodological framework to characterize the haptic behavior of several traditional musical instruments as perceived by a player. Our methodology will be based on several perceptually-informed physical measurements together with user-based studies which will make use of tactile-augmented digital musical interfaces.

ELIOT aims to provide new innovative and green technologies for EoL of commonly used natural fibres and biobased resins with increased resource efficiency and fully align these biomaterials with the circular economy principles (Figure 1). To this end, the project will propose and develop innovative solutions for the EoL of the new generation of biocomposites by: (1) reviewing the current treatment technologies for conventional FRP composite waste; (2) evaluating their potential suitability to be applied to the biocomposite waste and selecting those treatment alternatives that appear as the most feasible; (4) tailoring the selected treatment technologies to the characteristics of biocomposites and testing them at laboratory scale; and (5) demonstrating their technical feasibility and life-cycle sustainability under pre-industrial scale. Different EoL approaches will be evaluated, including mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological methods for waste recovery and recycling. A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the EoL methods in terms of cost and environmental sustainability will be conducted. ELIOT will set the basis for a wider uptake of biocomposite materials in the aircraft industry (and other industrial sectors using composite materials) by providing cost-effective methods for their EoL treatment. Main technical objective to be achieved by the consortium in this project is the full-scale demonstration of the most promising EoL methods for biocomposite waste. Full-scale demonstration will be provided for at least 2 EoL methods for 2 target biocomposites, respectively, including their technical validation at pre-industrial scale and their validation in terms ng, flooring and sidewall panels in cabin interiors) leads to net environmental benefits and cost savings throughout their whole life cycle; i.e., not only during production and use of the materials but also by means of sustainable EoL alternatives suitable to close the loop of biomaterials.

The Enterprise Europe Network "Normandie-Picardie" consortium is composed of the 5 following partners: • CCI Basse-Normandie • CCI Haute-Normandie • CCI Picardie • MIRIADE (regional agency for innovation in Basse-Normandie) • SEINARI (regional agency for innovation in Haute-Normandie) To act complementarily with the COSME Enterprise Europe Network "Normandie-Picardie" project, the consortium will set up a Horizon 2020 action called “Enhancing the innovation management capacity of SMEs”. This action should help companies of the Normandy-Picardy area to organise their innovation strategy in order to overcome the barriers to the emergence of innovative projects. This specific action will be divided into two main activities (Work packages). The first one called “Key Account Management” (KAM) will target the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument. The Key Account Managers (innovation experts of the consortium) will ensure that the beneficiaries receive the most appropriate services to underscore the successful and profitable exploitation of their innovation project. They will be in charge of helping SMEs to select their coach and will ensure there is no conflict between the coach and the SMEs all along the coaching phase. The second one called “enhancing SME innovation management capacity” (EIMC) will target SMEs with significant innovation activities and a high potential of internationalization. The consortium advisors will deliver a quality management assessment and support service to conduct innovation processes in a more effective way. They will be in charge of assessing innovation management capacity of the company and to develop an action plan with the support of an appropriate diagnostic tool. Both activities of the consortium should complement each other’s and offer the best integrated support to SMEs on two different growth factors: innovation and internationalization. The consortium plans to deliver both services to a total number of 51 companies in 2015-2016.

Domestic Hot Water (DHW), defined as human water needs (such as personal hygiene, toilet flushing, laundry, cooking and cleaning) is the dominating use of water in buildings and occurs in both residential (households) and non-residential (commercial, public and industrial) facilities. The residential water use represents 72% of the total water use in buildings, and 28% for non-residential buildings. It is in this framework where METRICA6 finds its Business Opportunity within two different markets which account for i) around 81 million households with 3 or more inhabitants, and ii) more than 180.000 SME hotels in Europe. The project objective is to introduce into the global market an INNOVATIVE SMART MANAGEMENT SYSTEM for DOMESTIC HOT WATER CONSUMPTION that brings the hot-water to the point of consumption, maintaining the taps closed and without wasting a drop. The system aims to allow control, program and register the DHW consumption in households and other kind of facilities with similar consumption patterns like hotels, improving the first NESS-basic product available in market since the second half of 2015. The NESS-SW system will constitute an integrated solution to recirculate all the water in non-proper temperature using the elements of the conventional plumbing installation, warning the user when the hot water is ready. In addition, the DHW Management System will allow the user to remotely control water consumption parameters. The successful introduction into the market of NESS-SW will enable to reduce water loses in the domestic sector as one of the most immediate measures to decrease consumption by the individual user.

This project aims to go significantly beyond the state of the art in several fundamental questions in PDEs with a clear geometric flavor. Central to this proposal is the Euler equation for an incompressible fluid, where the topics that I will be concerned with range from free boundary problems where I will strive to prove that the curvature of the interface blows up in finite time due to the appearance of kinks of controlled geometry, to the existence of smooth stationary solutions that feature chaotic trajectories confined in knotted vortex tubes of any topology, as conjectured by V.I. Arnold over fifty years ago. I will also consider a number of questions in spectral theory about the geometry of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and of the curl operator (the so called Beltrami fields, of crucial importance in the study of stationary Euler flows), analyze the process of creation and destruction of vortex structures in the 3D Navier-Stokes and Gross-Pitaevskii equations, consider blowup problems in magnetohydrodynamics, develop global approximation theorems for dispersive equations, and study the limiting measures of a sequence of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equation. Key for the feasibility of this deep, ambitious project is that these topics are by no means disjoint, so some common themes and fundamental ideas keep coming up in protean forms throughout the research project, and that I have already achieved major results in essentially all the topics covered in the proposal. This includes the proofs of well-known conjectures in fluid mechanics and spectral theory due to Lord Kelvin (1875), V.I. Arnold (1965), S.T. Yau (1993) and M. Berry (2001). The award of a Consolidator Grant would allow me to consolidate both my position as a leader in my fields of interest and the top-level research group on these topics that I am building.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a paradigmatic progressive neuroinflammatory disease characterized by multiple lesions across the entire central nervous system including both gray and white matter areas. Deconvoluting the spatio-temporal cellular and molecular landscape is therefore key to understanding underlying disease mechanisms and to develop cell-type specific therapies. The DecOmPress proposal is about integrative human and mouse single-cell genomic strategies to track-down reactive cellular states in compartmentalized progressive neuroinflammation. DecOmPress has two major research tracks (RTs). RT1 is an MS tissue discovery pipeline utilizing single-nucleus RNA and open chromatin sequencing. RT1 is about developing novel integrative computational tools to process sequencing data from different anatomical lesion areas implementing a large multiplex single-nucleus genomic dataset from the anterior visual system. RT1 is also about decoding compartmentalized inflammation in meningeal versus perivascular tissue niches. RT2 is a functional validation pipeline utilizing complex transgenic and disease mouse models as well as human organoids in combination with single-cell physiology and genomics. RT2 is about dissecting glial-intrinsic mechanisms at the chronically inflamed white matter lesion rim focusing on MS-specific oligodendrocyte and microglia subtypes. RT2 is also about decoding neuron subtype specific pathologies focusing on projection neurons and the contribution of local (meningeal) and distant (white matter tracts) inflammation and demyelination to cell-type specific neurodegeneration. In summary, DecOmPress is a highly innovative and fully translational multidisciplinary proposal aiming at identifying novel cell-type specific disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.

Anaerobic digestion, a technology able to use waste residuals to produce clean renewable energy in form of methane, is a powerful tool to revert the unequivocal environmental deterioration and represent one of the clearest examples of how research and innovation can turn undesirable residual like waste into an ecological and economical asset. Recent advances made feasible the process at ambient temperature, feasibility that might increase the net production since does not need heat supplementation. Among the different trace metals involved in the anaerobic degradation processes, cobalt has been shown one of the most important since it acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in the metabolic pathways of the methanogenesis from acetate. Therefore an adequate balance of cobalt could improve the anaerobic biological response, enhancing the rate and yield of methane. High throughput single-cell transcriptomic and third generation sequencing provide an unprecedented opportunity to understand the mechanisms inducing this enhanced yield. The first allows trancriptome analysis at the level of individual cells giving the possibility to understand the interplay of transcripts within single organisms, the specialization of different members from the community or the heterogeneity in term of transcriptomic status of every species while the second enable the possibility recover full length transcripts increasing resolution. The overall objective of UnrAD is to employ these two cutting-edge technologies combined to study the role of temperature and cobalt supplementation in anaerobic digestion and identify specializations and interactions among the different bacterial community members. The findings from this project would lead to a more efficient anaerobic digestion and will be beneficial for the to the industries in the field and the whole society.

The goal of this project is to construct, mathematically analyze, numerically approximate, computationally solve, and validate on clinically relevant cases a mathematically-based integrated heart model (IHM) for the human cardiac function. The IHM comprises several core cardiac models – electrophysiology, solid and fluid mechanics, microscopic cellular force generation, and valve dynamics – which are then coupled and finally embedded into the systemic and pulmonary blood circulations. It is a multiscale system of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) featuring multiphysics interactions among the core models. The physical and mathematical properties of each core model and those of the even more complex integrated heart model (IHM) will be analyzed. The numerical approximation of IHM develops along several steps: introduce new high order methods for the core models, carry out their stability and convergence analysis, devise new paradigms for their numerical coupling, and construct optimal, scalable, and adaptive preconditioners for the efficient solution of the resulting large-scale discrete problems. To address data variability in clinically relevant cases, new reduced order models and efficient computational techniques will be developed also for forward and inverse uncertainty quantification problems. Two software libraries, LifeHEART and RedHEART, will be built and made available to the scientific community. The project is original, very ambitious, mathematically inspired and rigorous, tremendously challenging, and groundbreaking. If successful, it will provide researchers from applied mathematics and life sciences, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons with a powerful tool for both the qualitative and quantitative study of cardiac function and dysfunction. iHEART has the potential to drive improvements in diagnosis and treatment for cardiovascular pathologies that are responsible for more than 45% of deaths in Europe.
