Enjay’s product, Lepido, is the first energy recycler capable of extracting the energy from the hostile and greasy exhaust air in restaurants and converting it into useable energy to heat the actual property. Lepido is based on three revolutionary Swedish patents and offers an average energy savings of 150,000 kWh – the equivalent of saving 15 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. Today, there is no effective heat recovery unit for commercial kitchens and the energy is simply released straight into the air without recycling. Unlike recycling heat from ventilation air in offices or apartment buildings, one of the greatest problems in restaurant ventilation is the aggressive environment (grease, pollution, moisture, soot, etc.) which destroys heat recovery equipment like cross-flow, rotating or battery units over time. Enjay begins a major transformation in the industry by changing the way of thinking about energy management in restaurant ventilation. With Lepido, Enjay opens up for energy recovery in a segment of the ventilation industry where it hasn’t been possible until now. By doing so, Enjay creates a financial incentive to save the environment.

The ATTENTIVE project will deliver a comprehensive training-through-research to a talented postdoctoral fellow in two leading multi-disciplinary research groups. I will bring clinical, molecular biology and genetic skills and I will receive extensive training in state-of-the-art genomic data science and cell biology, creating a two-way transfer. The proposed work will expand my experience, research competencies and professional networks, leading to the possibility to become an independent researcher. The research part of the proposal is focused on understanding the biological basis of the comorbidity observed between Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), as it is unclear which the underlying mechanisms are. Using large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) datasets , we will test whether this epidemiological and genetic correlation is due to shared risk alleles acting independently on both disorders or to causal effects between the disorders. We will combine different analytical methods, leveraging genome-wide data and brain-specific information related to additional omics domains. We will derive information regarding transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in brain tissues and cells. GWASs can identify a large number of genetic variants with potential disease association, but functional analysis remains a challenge. Therefore, we will validate the results through induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study cellular pathophysiology. The iPSCs carrying the variants significant from the GWAS will be differentiated to neural cells and neural mRNA will be analyzed by RNA-Seq. The expected results will provide novel information regarding the molecular mechanisms at the basis of this pathogenic association, also providing insights that could contribute to develop preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches to address substance abuse and alcohol dependence in subjects with ADHD, a high-risk category.

In everyday situations, humans are exposed to multiple concurrent stimuli in complex, continuously changing environments. To correctly extract relevant information, they adapt their processing to reflect the specifics of the current scene, and they learn from previous experience to improve the perceptual strategies used. The current project proposes to perform a series of behavioral experiments, brain imaging studies, and computational modeling 1) to study the auditory mechanisms of adaptation to new reverberant environments for speech processing, sound localization, and learning of new phonetic categories, and 2) to study how attention and mechanisms of implicit and explicit learning are used to cope with complex listening environments. The results will be important, e.g., for development of new prosthetic devices and new virtual reality technologies. Here, they will be used to develop a brain training game that can improve impaired listeners’ performance in complex environments. An additional goal of the proposal is to obtain new knowledge and skills related to studying human perceptual processes and the corresponding neural mechanisms. Skills to perform sensory learning research, psychophysics, non-invasive brain imaging (EEG and fMRI), and computational modeling will be exchanged during the secondments. Also, a series of workshops will be organized to train new researchers to perform research in computational and cognitive neuroscience, with additional goal of enhancing the exchange of information among participants and sharing new results obtained in this project. The project consortium consists of academic, research, medical, and small enterprise organizations based in the EU and USA. The participants have complementary skills necessary to achieve all the defined goals. Their collaboration on this project will result in strengthening of the European Research Area and in establishing new long-term collaborations between EU and US researchers.

Large multimode photonic quantum states are of paramount importance in the race to build a quantum computer and have been recently proposed as platforms for universal quantum computing. This class of quantum states has been experimentally demonstrated at the optical frequencies, but it is still not established in the microwave range, where one can take advantage of much higher non-linear interactions without introducing dissipation or dephasing. The aim of this proposal is to experimentally generate multimode quantum states of microwave photons with superconducting quantum circuits. The project aims at the control and characterization of quantum correlations between different frequency modes in microwave photons interacting with superconducting quantum devices. In order to reach this ambitious goal, non-linear processes in parametric Josephson devices will be explored. In particular, non-linear interactions will be engineered to generate multimode quantum correlations. This research will contribute to generate and manipulate very large multimode quantum states for the first time in the microwave regime. Controlling this kind of quantum states would represent a decisive step forward in the realisation of quantum information processing in the framework of Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics.

This project will commercialize P-TEV - a unique personalized tissue engineered vein for the treatment of patients with severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). CVI is a progressive medical condition in which the valves of the deep veins of the leg are not functioning properly. The most severe stage is CVI with leg ulceration. No effective treatment is available, and a large number of patients would directly benefit from venous vascular surgery. These patients cannot be cured today because no suitable grafts for replacement of the dysfunctional venous valves have yet been developed. There are no synthetic products which could replace the function of the bicuspid valves found in the leg veins and the risks associated with allotransplantation are too high. VERIGRAFT’s technology is the first one positioned to break this paradigm and fill the existing market gap. The technology allows the personalization of blood vessels by de- and recellularization. In short, a donated tissue is decellularized, removing all immunogenic donor cells and DNA. This results in a clean extracellular matrix scaffold with intact 3D structural properties. Subsequently, this scaffold is seeded with the patient´s own cells, derived from a small sample of peripheral blood. This unique technology turns an allogeneic (“foreign”) tissue into an autologous (“personalized”) one and thus avoids transplant rejection without the need for immunosuppression. The clinical proof-of-concept for P-TEV is established. The project will include the clinical study and GMP process development that will grant VERIGRAFT market access by 2019 and serve as a steppingstone to marketing approval by the European Medicines Agency. The EU-added value of the project is unparalleled, as it constitutes a breakthrough in one of future medicine's most promising fields – advanced personalized regenerative medicine, bringing significant long-term budgetary relief to healthcare systems.

In the global race towards 5G, the establishment and implementation of the 5G-PPP programme in the EU has significantly strengthened the position of Europe, promoting both technological excellence and industrial leadership. So far, 5G-PPP Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects have been proven quite successful in developing focused solutions, targeting specific technical innovations. Now, the crucial next step in the “Genesis of 5G”, in Europe but also worldwide, is to integrate all these highly diverse results and technologies in order to “glue together” the 5G picture and unveil the potential of a truly full-stack, end-to-end 5G platform, able to meet the defined KPI targets. In this context, the main goal of 5GENESIS to validate 5G KPIs for various 5G use cases, in both controlled set-ups and large-scale events. This will be achieved by bringing together results from a considerable number of EU projects as well as the partners’ internal R&D activities in order to realise an integrated End-to-end 5G Facility, built on five diverse in terms of capabilities –yet fully interoperable- experimentation platforms distributed across Europe and interconnected with each other. The platforms will emerge as the evolution of existing testbeds, already owned and operated by the 5GENESIS partners, suitable for large-scale field experimentation. The 5GENESIS Facility, as a whole, will: - implement and verify all evolutions of the 5G standard, via an iterative integration and testing procedure; - engage a wide diversity of technologies and chain innovations that span over all domains, achieving full-stack coverage of the 5G landscape; - unify heterogeneous physical and virtual network elements under a common coordination and openness framework exposed to experimenters from the vertical industries and enabling end-to-end slicing and experiment automation; and - support further experimentation projects, in particular those focused on vertical markets.

For about a decade, the EU experiments what it perceives as an unprecedented “migration crisis”. Moreover, since the mid-2000, the US-European agenda has integrated West Africa into the ‘Global War on Terror’ and uses its development cooperation to promote its policy. This migration-development-security nexus became a major political problem, prompting discourses, policies and dispositifs of crisis impacting African mobility. Based on a qualitative, empirical and comprehensive perspective, NEGOMOBI will investigate this nexus via the Malian and the Burkinabe case studies, in a comparative perspective. NEGOMOBI has 3 main objectives. The first one is to conduct a retrospective of the career of this Euro-African nexus as a public problem, through the design of both case studies. This will involve a work of historicization of migration and security policies promoted by Western countries in Mali and Burkina in a postcolonial setting. The second one is to study the actual policy-making process promoting this nexus and the negotiations between the EU and Mali and Burkina Faso on cooperation agreements as an attempt to solve this migration-security crisis. Finally, based on an ethnography of bus stations in Bamako and Ouagadougou, the third objective is to describe the implementation ‘from below’ of this nexus, its effects and counter-effects on West-African mobility, and the tactics and strategies developed by local actors, with a specific focus on gender issues on one hand, and on materiality on the other hand. It examines how border management and controls through technical and technological infrastructure are shaping human experience, masculinity and femininity, mobility and security in bus stations. By following the chains of actors, NEGOMOBI investigates how scales are concretely articulated in the making of a public policy and its implementation, and how this policy contribute to locally (re)produce social and political inequality through its performative effects.

Sensor technologies used today onboard maritime assets provide incomplete surveillance of the surface layer. A prototype Ladar sensor has been developed in recent previous projects that has been demonstrated to be able to properly survey and monitor the surface layer surroundings of vessels, platforms and coastal infrastructures. It represents an unique heterologation of system technologies and features. This enables enhanced safety, security, environmental monitoring and reduced operational risks. The ownership of the sensor prototypes (and its related IPR) has been spun-off to a separate entity (named Ladar Ltd) – a subsidiary of G.M.S. Global Maritime Services Ltd – that now is about developing the business case and commercialization process. This project will focus on the critical decisions that need to be taken at this stage to maximize the value of the Ladar in the maritime market domain. It will analyze the market in relation to the plurality of Ladar applications, purchase power/pricing, dissemination/marketing, production escalation, distribution and various after-sales services. In the ‘traditional shipping market’ the Ladar Ltd business case will follow a ‘disruptive’ business plan disrupting the traditional vendor based sales offering with a sensor solution congruent to the most advanced of the 'user driven mind' concepts and directly fitting with user/client needs.
