The overarching goal of CCUS ZEN is the accelerated deployment of CCUS throughout Europe, which will be achieved by: • Sharing knowledge and disseminating information important for stakeholders to make informed decisions on CCUS • Developing specific and actionable plans for the development of CCUS value chains As CCUS developments around the North Sea (NS) region are relatively mature, CCUS ZEN will leverage these developments as best practice for the development of new CCUS value chains in the currently underdeveloped Baltic Sea (BS) and the Mediterranean Sea (MS) Regions. While CCUS value chains, i.e., the entire pathway from CO2 capture to transport to its eventual storage or utilization, can today be realized, the industry is still in its infancy and many issues must be addressed to achieve the rapid deployment required. The consortium, consisting of 15 partners, including 2 associations with over 400 members in total, brings together entities with leading expertise on all aspects of CCUS value chains. 30 organisations, representing industry, RTOs, Associations, clusters, ports and municipalities involved in the development and deployment of CCUS value chains, will contribute their expertise as networking partners. Starting from an analysis of the technical and non-technical state-of-play in the BS and MS regions, CCUS ZEN will select at least eight value chains (four in each region) for detailed study and comparison with successful value chains from the NS region. One value chain from each analysed region will then be selected as most promising, with a detailed plan for further development. Through its knowledge-sharing activities and transfer of best practices from the NS region, CCUS ZEN will provide an information basis for the future CCUS value chains, including policy recommendations and a blueprint for CCUS value chain development, including easily accessible technology and CO2 source mapping, generic technical frameworks and business plan models.

Brunetto Latini’s Tresor and Tesoretto, Francesco da Barberino’s Documenti d’Amore, Dante Alighieri’s Commedia, and Francesco Petrarca’s Trionfi are four closely interconnected literary works composed in, or strictly related to, Tuscany between the 13th and 14th centuries. These texts share a central focus on visual component, inspirational sources, and historical and material contexts. While these interconnections have received notable scholarly attention from a literary perspective, a comprehensive and detailed examination of their convergences in terms of material and illustrated traditions has never been conducted. To address this gap, IcoNet will systematically compare the full range of iconographic representations produced for each work, from their composition to their latest figurative transpositions in manuscript books (ca. 1260 to ca. 1510). IcoNet will operate on two complementary levels: (1) examining each manuscript tradition individually, focusing on internal iconographic links; and (2) analyzing each tradition in relation to every other one, particularly through common iconographic choices for shared subjects or figurative modules. The primary objective is to map and delineate the unexplored iconographic network that deeply connects these works. By introducing an innovative highly interdisciplinary methodology, that integrates traditional stylistic and geographical classification criteria with extensive analysis of iconographies and compositional modules, IcoNet aims to reconstruct one of the most significant and intricate networks of cultural exchanges spanning two centuries of Italian and European civilization. This foundational iconographic network case study, crucial for its role in the Italian vernacular literature, will establish a new, robust system of classification criteria for grouping and comparing similar illuminated manuscripts. This system is designed to be extendable to other traditions and across different centuries.

Periodontitis is one of the world's most prevalent chronic dental and maxillofacial diseases that will ultimately lead to unwanted tooth loss. This disease was responsible for a significant loss of € 158.64 billion in Europe in 2018. Due to the complexity of the grafting treatment techniques, the efficiency of these procedures is notably affected. A bioactive multiphasic membrane/scaffold with different layers has been advised for this. Until now, few commercial companies using synthetic polymers like polylactic acid (PLA), and woven fibers made up of polyglactin 910 copolymer together with collagen have developed this type of membrane/scaffold. However, different limitations of these materials make their application difficult. MultiphaseGTR focuses on the preparation of bioactive multiphase hydrogel-based biomembrane for periodontal regeneration. The fundamental objectives of the study are: I. Development and characterization of the two components of the biomembrane, i.e., non-mineralized hydrogel and mineralized hydrogel membranes (WP1); II. Preparation of a multiphase hydrogel membrane by combining the two components, i.e., non-mineralized and mineralized hydrogel membranes, and characterization of their physicomechanical properties (WP2); and III. Assessment of the bioactive properties of the multiphase biomembranes in relation to periodontal regeneration (WP3). Finally, a suitable multiphase membrane will be recommended. The outcome of this proposed work not only intends to fill the current gap for the requirement of a suitable cost-effective alternative to the current limited reported materials but also to elaborate the opportunity to increase the knowledge regarding the utilization of biomembrane in dental and maxillofacial tissue regeneration.

The emergence of ESR-STM has recently opened new perspectives on the coherent manipulation of individual spin qubits. However, to date ESR-STM experiments are essentially focused on individual magnetic atoms deposited on MgO/Ag(100). The insulating layer of MgO seems to be an essential ingredient to obtain addressable and functional single atom qubits, e.g. to fix the spin along certain directions and enable ways for its manipulation. The aim of this project is to go beyond the current restriction of ESR-STM on individual atomic qubits on MgO layers and expand its usage towards robust qubits in other environments. This will be done by using metallo-organic complexes whose organic structure is designed in such a way to play the role of the MgO layer. ESR will be performed on individual magnetic molecules and their potential as molecular spin qubits in contact with metals will be probed. The overall methodology of the project is divided into three main objectives: (1) demonstrate ESR-STM on magnetic molecules; (2) demonstrate ESR-STM on magnetic molecules in direct contact with a metallic substrate and use molecules as magnetic sensors; (3) protection of spin coherence by superconductivity. The impact of the project goes beyond the purely scientific interest and it extends to the industrial sectors of technology and telecommunications. This is because it actually opens the possibility of implementing spintronic devices aimed at storage and manipulation of quantum information in which the individual qubits can be concretely addressed thanks to some type of electrode. Moreover, the coherent control of quantum states is currently under large demand in Europe. In this regard, the highly specialized expertise acquired by the researcher thanks to this project will clearly be an added value in the preparation of his future career. In conjunction with its scientific aim, QMOLESR is designed to train an excellent, independent researcher who will develop his research career.

Strained nanomechanical resonators have record-high quality factors at room temperature and state-of-the-art thermal-limited force sensitivities. However, they are typically made of dielectric materials that do not interact strongly with neither sensing targets nor other quantum systems. I propose to functionalize ultracoherent mechanical resonators with a nanomagnet to unleash their potential both for nanoscale magnetic sensing and the creation of hybrid quantum systems. The force sensitivity of the best strained nanomechanical resonators allows sensing of single proton spins when functionalized with a nanomagnet, providing new ways to characterize quantum devices and to investigate the three-dimensional structure of complex molecules such as proteins. Direct coupling of mechanical resonators and a single two-level system is a challenging but attractive route to synthesis of arbitrary quantum motional states in mechanical resonators. The low frequency of strained nanomechanical resonators has made this type of interaction elusive, but recent progress makes it conceivable to coherently couple a single atom and mechanical motion by direct magnetic coupling. I will leverage optical tweezer technology to directly couple the internal quantum states of a single atom to the motion of an ultracoherent mechanical resonator and exploit this interaction to generate quantum states of motion. By combining integrated photonics with ultracoherent nanomechanical resonators, SEQUENCE will develop unprecedently sensitive on-chip force sensors that can be used for characterization of biomolecules and quantum devices. The hybrid atom-mechanical system will realize a new interaction between single quantum systems and mechanical resonators which can be used in tests of fundamental physics, quantum sensing and quantum information processing.

Narwhals are mysterious animals that have fascinated humankind since ancient times. They are known for their unique spiralled tusks, which made people believe in the existence of unicorns for centuries. The up to 3 m long straight tusk displayed by males always has a left-hand spiral macrostructure, making it unique in the animal kingdom. Very little is known about these fascinating animals, and the reason, origin and biological structure of their tusk is a great question mark among marine biologists and bio-material scientists. In the proposed project, we will aim to reveal the hierarchical structure and biomineral characteristics of this unique biological material: their tusk. For that purpose, we will employ a combination of recently developed 3D X-ray imaging techniques in a hierarchical approach, studying their nano, micro and macrostructure with X-ray computed tomography, X-ray diffraction and X-ray small angle X-ray scattering. Novel imaging techniques using synchrotron radiation like tensor tomography will reveal the structural organization and anisotropy of the tusk building blocks, and diffraction computed tomography will provide very valuable information about the biomineral phase in the tusk and teeth. The multi-length scale approach explained in this project will be a pioneer in the field and we expect to establish a new methodology for a more complete structural characterization of biological and composite materials. All that will be implemented and developed in the 24 months of the project, which compiles 4 experiments in large-scale synchrotron facilities, data analysis strategies development and the establishment of a complete multiscale model of the narwhal tusk biological structure.

The digital transformation and the availability of more diverse and cost-effective methods for 3D capture has led to the creation of digitised representations of parts of our public spaces, machinery and processes, so-called Digital Twins. These Digital Twins are an important basis for building advanced XR applications for cityscapes and the industrial environments. These XR applications need high-fidelity models for accurate localization, which are kept in-sync with the real world. However, currently (i) creating high-fidelity Digital Twins is costly, (ii) integrating data from heterogeneous sensors is still challenging and (iii) the update of Digital Twins requires explicit manual intervention. The vision of DIDYMOS-XR is to enable advanced, more realistic and more dynamic extended reality (XR) applications, powered through artificial intelligence. The project thus focuses on advancing technologies for creating large-scale digital twins, synchronised with the real world. DIDYMOS-XR will research and develop methods for reconstruction and mapping from heterogeneous inputs, including static and mobile sensors, AI-based data fusion, scene understanding and rendering. Digtal twin based XR applications also require means of accurately positioning in the environment, aware of the dynamics of the scene, also addresed by the project. The capture of scenes at scale, as well as using cameras and other sensor data for synchronising the digital representation, bears the risk of capturing personal and sensitive data. Hence, the technologies resulting from DIDYMOS-XR must be and will be ethical and privacy-aware by design. In order to demonstrate and validate the enabling technologies researched and developed in DIDYMOS-XR, the project will address use cases of XR applications in two domains that differ in their scale and characteristics. One is urban planning and smart mobility, the other is the collaboration with autonomous mobile robots at an industrial production facility.
