Drive2theFuture aims to prepare “drivers”, travelers and vehicle operators of the future to accept and use connected, cooperative and automated transport modes and the industry of these technologies to understand and meet their needs and wants. To achieve this, it models the behaviour of different automated vehicle “drivers” & prognoses acceptance for several automated driving scenarios, develops specialized training tools (3D automated scenarios for VR-goggles, web applications and social media platforms), content, optimized HMI for “driver”-vehicle handovers, CEA and MCA studies for selection of most favorable automated functions realisation and then demonstrates them in 12 Pilots across Europe,and in 3 major events. Pilots cover all automated transportation modes (Automated car, PTW, truck, bus, mini-bus, rail, workboat and drones) and involve driving/riding/rail simulators, VR/AR simulation toolkits, test tracks and real world environments, in which over 1000 AV drivers/passengers, 200 AV operators and 20000 involved citizens experience automation from few hours to 6 months. KPI’s, such as user acceptance, user awareness/appreciation of actual automated function performance (gap between expectations and reality), automated operation efficiency and cost effectiveness, are defined and will be followed through subjective and objective (conflicts analysis) tools. The automated vehicles “driver”/rider/operator behaviour will be modelled and due emphasis is given to cross fertilization issues among different modes. The project will also research relevant legal, ethical and operational issues (with strong user involvement through FIA and 4 of its Clubs, UITP and IRU), the interaction between automated vehicles and relevant MaaS and will issue guidelines, policy recommendations and a user acceptance path Roadmap to Automation. This challenging task is undertaken by 31 Partners from 13 European countries; through 10 interrelated workpackages, over 36 months.

LITCOM explores the contours of literary activism in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It views literary activism as encoding a double meaning: both describing the act of opening spaces for literary expression, while also referring to the more explicit intersection of literary engagement and socio-political activism. LITCOM examines everyday encounters with and participation in literary activism as a form of social production creating new types of commons, networks of practice and sometimes-ephemeral publics which function outside of the normative sphere of the state and civil society. It offers a notion of the literary as a lived space of mediation, engagement with which itself produces new understandings of the horizons of the political in SSA. LITCOM asks: 1. What forms of civic participation are produced, contested and authenticated through the networks of practice and forms of commoning which arise from literary activism in SSA and what new publics does literary activism create? 2. How do the commons, networks of practice and publics produced by publishers, writers and readers function with respect to formalised civil society institutions and patrimonial structures in an era alternatively characterised as that of ‘late capitalism’ (Jameson) or ‘liquid modernity’ (Bauman)? 3. How does the literary, both as aesthetic practice and mediating form, enable a more expansive understanding of the political and its horizons? 4. What kinds of social and political claims does literary activism engender across its various instantiations in SSA? 5. In what ways do the ecologies of literary activism and its attendant social production make visible new topographies of affiliation in SSA? Operating across two primary strands with four cross-cutting case studies from Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda and Kenya, LITCOM combines fine-grained empirical analysis with broad-based literary and cultural readings to answer these questions.

The need: Today, although over 6M people suffer from Parkinson's and related diseases worldwide we have no objective early diagnostic test. By the time patients present the symptoms that lead to diagnosis the disease is already very advanced and the options for treatment extremely limited. This has an enormous impact on cost of care and an even greater impact on patient and carer quality of life. An early diagnostic test will revolutionise treatment in terms of slowing disease evolution and improved outcomes, with fewer years in the advanced phases of the disease requiring expensive full-time care. Our goal: We aim to commercialise non-invasive, very low-cost preclinical electroencephalograph (EEG) biomarkers for synucleinopathies (Parkinson Disease - PD and Lewy Body Dementia - LBD), which will have real impact on both quality of life and cost of care.

The fuselage of the next generation of Large Passenger Aircrafts´ (LPA) will be made with thermoplastic (TP) composites. In fact, even if this kind of materials are being increasingly used in aerospace industry, as they contribute to lighter aircrafts and consequently to fuel consumption reduction, there are still some issues to be overcome until this becomes a reality. The manufacturing complex forms of rear end section with continuous fibre-reinforced TP still poses a considerable challenge: higher processing temperatures and raw material costs, need of complex temperature-controlled tooling, etc. Automated fibre placement (AFP) is a workable alternative for more complicated TP Composites (TPC) shapes with varying part thickness (e.g., fuselage shells, wing and stabilizer torsion boxes and stringers), but one of the challenges is void removal, which is more difficult with TP than with thermosets. FRAMES aims to fully define technical and cost performance of an optimized integral TP rear end manufacturing process with critical design features as an alternative to thermoset materials. Thanks to a self-heated tool with process driven heating zones and advanced lay up process simulation, FRAMES will be capable of predicting heating law for efficient TP-AFP, correlated with lay-up trials, mastering TP-stiffeners manufacturing process, optimizing co-consolidation cycle. Its main innovation relies on the co-consolidation of a double curved and thick skin with its entire stiffening structure in one shot. FRAMES will support the spread of alternative heating process for thermoplastic AFP by developing a simulation tool able to predefine processing parameters of the most common aerospace grades thermoplastics. At the end, the advanced rear end (ARE) concept that will allow the savings (NRC and maintenance costs, higher integration level at lighter weight, etc.) will be easily applicable to other panels or structures with the same interface principle or same architecture

The SHERIF (“reSearcH is sERIous Fun”) project brings together six leading Greek research organizations whose aim is to spread the RN messages nationwide and organize Nights in the six biggest cities of Greece in 2018 and 2019. These cities - Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, Larissa and Rethymnon – that cover more than 60% of the country’s population will have the opportunity to meet hundreds of researchers and understand that research is serious but can also be fun. In order to attract as many visitors as possible, a multi-channel awareness campaign has been conceived and promises to bring the RN messages into millions of Greek households. A mix of traditional and modern communication channels will be used not only to increase the number of people exposed to RN messages but also to ensure that all social groups regardless of gender, age or education background are reached. Special emphasis is put on promoting the researcher’s profession to young audience (e.g. by school visits) thus contributing to the H2020 target of attracting more researchers. In 2018, SHERIF honours the European Year of Cultural Heritage by organizing several tailor-made pre-events that will bring out the important contribution of research in the preservation of cultural heritage. The celebration of the Year culminates during the 2018 Nights themselves. The Nights will be full of research and entertaining activities led by researchers. Dozens of cutting edge technologies will be presented through interactive experiments; games will introduce the young audience to the research world and entertaining activities all performed by researchers will bring out the human side of them. By capitalizing on the past experience, the broad research base of each partner and their extensive network of collaborators, SHERIF’s ambition is to reach over 2 million citizens and attract more than 17.000 attendees to the events annually.

Indoor robotics developed an autonomous platform for navigation and operation of robots indoors. Indoor Robotics, aims to provide a true answer to some of the most dangerous, time consuming and costly failures in the monitoring and physical security markets with an emphasis on creating a secure environment within a closed area. With this vision, we have developed Tando, a game-changing holistic solution to perform active monitoring of the premises. The core of the system is a patented highly crafted drone that docks on the ceiling and utilizes advanced sensors to perform routine surveillance (patrolling) and space monitoring. Tando will be the first responder to an anomaly and will allow for early detection of hazards such as fire and water leakages, which has the potential to decrease fatalities and insurance claims by 50%. Moreover, Indoor Robotics’ proprietary cloud-based Artificial Intelligence anomaly detection software provides further analysis of situations and events which gives the user insight into incidents. All in all, Tando goes beyond the state-of-the-art of monitoring and security systems offering advanced anomaly detection, higher coverage and faster response time at less than 25% the cost of current solutions. Autonomous and periodic security and safety checks have the potential to save lives, property and capital. As in many other markets, monotonous and repetitive actions that require advanced vision capabilities are better suited for robots. In contrast to current solutions (mostly based on fixed sensors), robots can reduce false alarms, increase coverage and perform active surveillance

Endocrine therapy has clearly improved outcomes for estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancer patients, however the cumulative incidence of recurrence and death continues at a steady rate . The majority of ER+ breast tumours treated with neoadjuvant letrozole in respond quickly and are generally excised after three months. A minority of tumours maintain a stable size by becoming dormant, these tumours continue to receive extended letrozole treatment and therefore represent the best currently available clinical model to investigate dormancy. We have previously performed a number of dynamic molecular studies of cancer treatment by taking pre- and post-treatment tumour biopsies utilising the "window of opportunity". In this study, for the first time, the dormant cancer cells from breast tumour biopsies that have received extended (1-3 years) neoadjuvant endocrine therapy will be studied. This study aims to characterise the ER+ breast cancer dormancy and letrozole resistance using expression profiling technologies of this unique series of breast tumour biopsies. The genome- and proteome-wide expression data will be analysed and compared with data for the same patients at diagnosis, at two weeks and at three months following treatment and with the clinical outcomes. Our study will be the first to characterise extended growth suppression in letrozole-treated dormant-state breast cancer. This knowledge will be very valuable to extend ER+ breast cancer patients' survival and quality of life by preventing metastasis and also contribute to the economy and society by introducing a individualized therapy that is tailored in accordance with cancer patients’ expression profiles. This multidisciplinary project combines both clinical and academic aspects along with exposure to the non-academic sector, in order to provide the fellow with great competence in cancer genomics through training in advanced integrative bioinformatics analysis of high-throughput data.
