Wearable technologies aimed at private consumers constitute a nascent market, expected to grow very fast. Their disruptive power is exemplified by the competition between established technology giants and start-ups. In particular, the development of the wearable market relies on its capacity to break down barriers between creative industries and digital technology companies. At the core of this market is the amount of data that wearable technologies allow to capture, in particular over their users’ personal data. This raises ethical issues regarding the ownership of this data, and what wearable providers do with that data, among other ethical issues, such as labour issues manufacturing, and mineral sourcing in the supply chain. There is a need to raise awareness around such issues, while ensuring the continued development of the wearable technology and smart textiles industries. WEAR proposes to bring wearable technology stakeholders to work more closely with designers and artists across Europe to shift the development of the EU wearable industry, drawing on the rich European landscape of wearable technology and smart textile stakeholders, toward addressing the core issues head on within the research & development stages. To do so, WEAR will: Develop a sustainable European network of stakeholders and hubs, to connect and push the boundaries in the design and development of wearables; Encourage cross-border and cross-sector collaboration between creative people and technology developers to design and develop wearables ; Develop a framework within which future prototypes can be made that will become the next generation of what ethical and aesthetic wearables could/should be; Lead the emergence of innovative approaches to design, production, manufacturing and business models for wearable technologies; Make citizens, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders more aware of the ethical and aesthetic issues in making and use of wearable technologies

STARTS ecosystem’ intends to become a pillar of the STARTS (Science, Technology and Arts) movement in Europe, by creating and animating an ecosystem of creators, artists and innovators that will engage with and support the two new Lighthouse projects to be launched under STARTS, while building on results of past and ongoing initiatives, such as the STARTS Residences (VERTIGO), WEAR Sustain and STARTS Prize projects, among others. For that the project will aim at the creation and animation of a STARTS ecosystem by coordinating artistic and innovation relevant aspects of the two lighthouse pilots and of other European/international R&I projects that put artists and creatives at the centre of innovation. ‘STARTS ecosystem’ proposes to be the mechanism that feeds the new Lighthouse projects and other R&D&I initiatives with the artistic inspiration (under the form of input from artists and creators) they require to lighten the way towards a more human-centred, while technological, society. It will accomplish this by offering a solid framework for actors, activities and results generated under the first wave of STARTS projects, to meet and consolidate with newcomers, in the form of an ecosystem that can raise interests and drive artistic/creative talent towards the large-scale activities, to be demonstrated under the Lighthouse projects and other R&D & innovation projects, where artistic potential can be leveraged. The main goal of this proposal is to contribute to the development of a new and sustainable ecosystem for the STARTS initiative that can foster collaborations and innovation between creators, artists, researchers and technologists to promote competitive business models, unconventional products and solutions that can contribute to an enhanced understanding of societal needs. We will not start this process from scratch, but will build instead on the communities of value, networks and tools created under the current STARTS projects.

This research proposal explores the political economy of international development assistance (aid) directed towards social expenditures, examined through the lens of a particular financial quandary that has been ignored in the literature despite having important economic and political repercussions. The quandary is that aid cannot be directly spent on expenditures denominated in domestic currency. Instead, aid needs to be first converted into domestic currency whereas the foreign exchange provided is used for other purposes, resulting in a process prone to complex politics regarding domestic monetary policy and spending commitments. The implications require a serious rethink of many of the accepted premises in the political economy of aid and related literatures. It is urgent to engage in this rethinking given tensions between two dynamics in the current global political economy: a tightening financial cycle facing developing countries versus an increasing emphasis in international development agendas of directing aid towards social expenditures. The financial quandary might exacerbate these tensions, restricting recipient government policy space despite donor commitments of respecting national ownership. The proposed research examines these implications through the emerging social protection agenda among donors, which serves as an ideal policy case given that social protection expenditures are almost entirely based on domestic currency. This will be researched through a mixed-method comparative case study of six developing countries, combining quantitative analysis of balance of payments and financing constraints with qualitative process tracing based on elite interviews and documentary research. The objective is to re-orient our thinking on these issues for a deeper appreciation of the systemic political and economic challenges facing global redistribution towards poorer countries, particularly with respect to the forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals.

The development of methods for the transition metal-catalysed functionalization of C-H bonds is revolutionizing synthetic organic chemistry by providing tools to simplify and accelerate the synthesis and modification of a myriad of known and still unknown organic molecules including aromatic compounds. However, in these processes, the ability to discriminate between C-H bonds for subsequent transformation into other functional groups still remains as a major challenge. To date, much progress has been made on developing strategies for the ortho-functionalization of arenes, mainly through the derivatization of the substrates with directing groups. meta-Functionalization approaches, on the other hand, are extremely scarce despite eta-substitution is a widespread motive amongst biologically active molecules. The research outlined in this proposal aims at developing a process that makes use of CO2 as an invisible directing group leading to an array of novel direct meta-functionalization methodologies. To do so, we envision a one-pot strategy involving a carboxylation ortho to an R group followed by a tandem CO2H directed ortho-functionalization/decarboxylation process that affords the desired meta-functionalized products and releases again the CO2 employed as the directing group. The realisation of the objectives of this project will push forward the state-of-the art in the area of C-H bond activation by providing step economical access to molecules that are difficult to prepare via conventional multistep routes.

SUNRISE will develop, implement, assess and facilitate learning about new, collaborative ways to address common mobility challenges at the neighbourhood level. Towards this aim, 6 cities will foster collaborative processes in specific neighbourhoods as “Neighbourhood Mobility Labs” with the explicit mandate to implement innovative solutions for and with their residents, businesses etc. SUNRISE rests on several pillars: A) Utilisation of neighbourhood-specific opportunities. B) Co-creation of solutions, i.e. through strategic civic-public alliances C) Socio-technical nature of solutions as combinations of services, social arrangements, rules, technologies or small infrastructures etc. D) New forms of synergies between bottom-up and top-down. All SUNRISE activities are structured along the following phases of the innovation chain: 1) Co-identification of mobility problems; 2) Co-planning / co-selection of solutions; 3) Co-implementation of solutions; 4) Co-evaluation; 5) Co-learning and uptake. The SUNRISE action neighbourhoods will use a blend of proven state-of-the-art online and face-to-face participation techniques and will establish longer-term collaborative forums. These will systematically involve citizens, businesses, NGOs, local authorities, academics etc. – always with a view to also involve under-empowered sections of the population like migrants, women, older and young people. Alongside the mobility benefits for the action neighbourhoods, the project will result in a suite of products – most prominently the SUNRISE Neighbourhood Mobility Pathfinder – which will be provided to European cities, their stakeholders and citizens through a powerful exchange process to inspire and inform change across Europe. This will include a group of 20 Take-Up neighbourhoods and various city networks in cooperation with CIVITAS. In strategic terms, SUNRISE will lay the foundation for a Sustainable Neighbourhood Mobility Planning concept (SNMP) to complement SUMPs.

Overfishing represents a major problem for fisheries worldwide, and a global environmental threat, as it risks the problem that is threating our oceans, with only 32% of fish stocks sustainably exploited. Even though fishery regulations and enforcement measures have been deployed throughout the world by nations, their implementation is quite limited, mainly due to the difficulties derived from the lack of timely and accurate fisheries data (given the variety of players in the industry, from fishermen to distributors and governments), and the high costs of fishery governance regimes, which are also mostly obsolete. Fisheries management systems that take into account all aspects and processes involved in fisheries are required to preserve commercial stocks from overexploitation and promote sustainable fisheries. However, to date, there is no such solution in the market. To meet this need, at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES we have developed The Fisheries Manager (TFM): a fully-integrative modular cloud-based software which comprises over 40 independent modules that work in synergy and cover all aspects of integrative fisheries management, from vessels registry and catcheries to compliance of policies. This modularity, together with a friendly-used interface and real-time communication, enables its adaption to all kind of customers, from single artisanal fishermen to state nations and worldwide organizations such as, FAO and ICCAT. Our experts at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES have over 80 years of experience in implementing fisheries management solutions, having worked with the Icelandic government for the last two decades developing one of the most advanced management system of fisheries. With TFM we will expand our background to governmental and industry levels firstly in Europe and then worldwide, to maximize the efficiency, performance and sustainability of fisheries of all sizes throughout the world and boost the growth of our company in terms of revenues and personnel.

Currently, buildings are responsible for 40 % of the energy demand and 36% of the CO2 emissions in Europe. Decarbonisation of existing buildings plays a key role in order to reach the overall climate protection targets. However, current renovation rates lie in the order of 1%. Heat pumps are a key technology in bringing renewable shares into heat supply of buildings; especially their combination with onsite renewable electricity production e.g. by PV allows to bring high renewable shares. Their current installation in existing multi-apartment buildings is however still marginal. The proposed technological solution is based on decentralized heat pumps, in such a way that it results an easy-to-install solution for installers, low-intrusive for the occupants and easily adaptable to a large number of different building situations. This is flanked by developing near-zero planning, implementation and operation processes, in order to facilitate the work during the planning phase, ensure a high-quality installation and effective operation, and reduce the efforts and costs within the whole retrofitting project. The challenge of cost-competitiveness is addressed by developing new financial and business models. Bringing new players (such as financial experts) and financing models to the renovation market is expected to bring the needed paradigm change and boost investments in the residential retrofitting sector. Dissemination of measured performance and system characteristics from HAPPENING will be one of the key results of the project. Through 3 demo sites (Spain, Italy and Austria), the project will demonstrate a highly versatile, scalable and replicable solution package for buildings energy system retrofitting allowing 70-75% of renewable energy fraction, 30-50% of PE and GHG savings, reduction of planning time by 50% and installation/operation time by 30% and payback time for ESCOs and investors of less than 8 years, compared to best available solution existing today.
