Public bodies face the lack of appropriate easy-to-use tools to support them in the definition, simulation and evaluation of suitable strategies for sustainable heating and cooling tailored to local conditions for achieving the ambitious targets set-up in their local plans. In light of this, PLANHEAT main objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated and easy-to-use tool which will support local authorities (cities and regions) in selecting, simulating and comparing alternative low carbon and economically sustainable scenarios for heating and cooling that will include the integration of alternative supply solutions (from a panel of advanced key technologies for the new heating and cooling supply) that could balance the forecasted demand. The PLANHEAT integrated tool will be designed to support local authorities in 1) mapping the potential of locally available low carbon energy sources (with specific reference to available RES and waste energy recoverable at urban and industrial level) 2) mapping the forecasted demand for heating and cooling 3) define and simulate alternative environmentally friendly scenarios based on district heating and cooling as well as highly efficient cogeneration systems matching the forecasted demand, levering on the use of RES and waste energy sources and with proven economic viability 4) understanding the interactions of these new scenarios with the existing infrastructures and networks (among which district heating and cooling gas, electricity, sewage, transportation) and identify potential for further extension and upgrade of district heating and cooling networks 5) evaluate the benefits (in terms of energetic, economic and environmental KPIs) that the adoption of the new scenarios will generate against the current situation (i.e., baseline). Moreover sound training and replication strategies involving a number of other public authorities have been set-up towards the empowerment of the expected project impacts.

How do our views on war affect the way we write history? The study of Ancient Greek warfare – and the strong moral judgments that have always been part of it – remains heavily influenced by the pioneering works of Prussian and Imperial German scholars, whose outlook was profoundly nationalist and militarist. The views of these scholars on Greek strategies, tactics and rules of engagement are still perpetuated in modern scholarship. New ideas have only started to gain ground in the last decade. Recent historiographical studies suggest that experts in the field are unaware of its founders’ legacy; the early scholars of Greek warfare have never been studied in their own right. The proposed research is a detailed look at the major German handbooks that appeared between 1852 and 1931 to form the foundation of the academic study of Greek warfare. It will place these works in their intellectual context by examining the life and intellectual environment of their authors. It will analyse the way these scholars’ backgrounds affected their view of history. Finally, it will trace the afterlife of their views as they were transformed from a didactic tool in the instruction of Prussian officers to an ideological weapon in the hands of American neoconservatives. This project will use the development of scholarly interpretations of ancient military methods as a reflection on changing modern attitudes to war. How do our perspectives and those of our predecessors affect our research? The professional militarism of the German scholars shaped their perception of Greek warfare as restricted and primitive; later generations, who found war more abhorrent, adapted these conclusions into an idealised image of the past, giving ideological and political power to the Germans’ harsh and unjustified conclusions.

The recovery of the functional use of the upper limb is a main goal of rehabilitation in stroke survivors. Despite the development of many rehabilitation programs, upper limb paresis following a stroke still results in disability and a great societal cost. Attention deficits are also common in these patients. Here we propose two mixed-reality (MR) interventions to improve functional outcomes of the rehabilitation interventions as compared with classic rehabilitation programs. MR interfaces allow patients to use real world objects while interacting with virtual images, which enhances the use of real world objects. Virtual Reality allows recreating an ecological setting, which is key to the transfer of the rehabilitation outcomes. In the first intervention, patients will be able to train with real and also the same virtual objects and that in an enriched environment. To better understand how MR contributes to the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, in this first experiment, we also seek to compare cinematic measures of object manipulation (virtual vs. real). In the second MR intervention, an avatar will mimic the patient’s gestures and movements with real objects. This will give the patient an allocentric perspective of their movement. Moreover, these interventions will allow us to test the hypothesis that a MR motor training environment might have a beneficial effect on attention. Participants will be recruited from the pool of patients from the stroke outpatient program of NISA Hospital and clinical staff will contribute to data collection. The outcomes of those interventions will be compared with the outcomes of the conventional rehabilitation program (i.e. occupational therapy and physiotherapy without virtual or MR). We will not only assess motor function, but also attention and motivation. We expect to find better outcomes by following the MR interventions.

ACCTING mobilizes research experimentation and innovation to advance an inclusive and socially just European Green Deal, where nobody is left behind. It specifically focuses on inequalities produced and reproduced in the context of Green Deal policy and interventions. The overall objectives are to: - Understand the impact of Green Deal policy initiatives on individual and collective behaviours with specific attention to vulnerable groups. - Provide evidence and empower policymakers and other stakeholders to anticipate policy responses, the potential negative impacts on inequalities, and to mitigate such impacts in Green Deal decision-making; - Co-creatively design and implement pilot actions to be deployed by policymakers and stakeholders in the policy domains of the Green Deal with the ambition to reduce or prevent inequalities and promote participation and social justice. Building on previous research initiatives, ACCTING proposes an interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological framework, inspired by strategic policy design-thinking. It collects new data on Green Deal policy interventions at individual, community, organisational and societal levels. Starting with an extensive mapping and comparative analysis of bottom-up environmental initiatives in 34 countries, including the collection of 410 narratives followed by 41 experimental studies from eight research lines, results are fed into Open Studios to co-create innovative solutions. Results are used for further experimentation, including through pilot actions with mass implementation and high impact potential. ACCTING combines activities devoted to experimental research and innovation, action research, co-creation of sustainable impact, robust impact evaluation and wide disseminations. It relies on its consortium of 13 European partners with an experience of 50+ EU funded projects, multidisciplinary teams, involving experts from multi-sectoral networks and stakeholders.

To handle the stringent performance requirements of future exascale High Performance Computing (HPC) applications, HPC systems need ultra-efficient heterogeneous compute nodes. To reduce power and increase performance, such compute nodes will require reconfiguration as an intrinsic feature, so that specific HPC application features can be optimally accelerated at all times, even if they regularly change over time. In the EXTRA project, we create a new and flexible exploration platform for developing reconfigurable architectures, design tools and HPC applications with run-time reconfiguration built-in from the start. The idea is to enable the efficient co-design and joint optimization of architecture, tools, applications, and reconfiguration technology in order to prepare for the necessary HPC hardware nodes of the future. The project EXTRA covers the complete chain from architecture up to the application: • More coarse-grain reconfigurable architectures that allow reconfiguration on higher functionality levels and therefore provide much faster reconfiguration than at the bit level. • The development of just-in time synthesis tools that are optimized for fast (but still efficient) re-synthesis of application phases to new, specialized implementations through reconfiguration. • The optimization of applications that maximally exploit reconfiguration. • Suggestions for improvements to reconfigurable technologies to enable the proposed reconfiguration of the architectures. In conclusion, EXTRA focuses on the fundamental building blocks for run-time reconfigurable exascale HPC systems: new reconfigurable architectures with very low reconfiguration overhead, new tools that truly take reconfiguration as a design concept, and applications that are tuned to maximally exploit run-time reconfiguration techniques. Our goal is to provide the European platform for run-time reconfiguration to maintain Europe’s competitive edge and leadership in run-time reconfigurable computing.

It is estimated that by 2050, 68% of the world population will live in urban areas, according to the United Nations. With the accelerated rhythm of population growth, the expected number of urban citizens in 2050 is close to 6.5 billion (compared to 4.2 billion nowadays). Uncontrolled urbanization raises a significant problem, the topic of the United Nations Development Programme Goal 11: ensuring sustainable and safe growth of urban areas. This project therefore addresses a global problem. To enable smart urban planning and scalable methods for example to predict the risk of structural degradation or damage to city buildings, it is essential to create efficient tools that can analyse large amounts of data, over time (4D), to create comprehensive global urban maps. The continuous expansion of data sets poses a significant problem for data analytics for global smart urban planning: we currently lack solutions that can generate useful insights from the data. In this PoC project, I aim to extend the AI algorithms and the big Earth observation data management features developed in the ERC Starting grant to very high resolution data for Smart City applications and offer our software as a commercial, integrated service. Within the PoC, a comprehensive business case that will assist us in designing an exploitation strategy will be developed. Achieving these objectives will advance our AI solution for Smart City from a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 to 6. Our value proposition in AI4SmartCities is a set of professional solutions for very high resolution geo-spatial and social-economic indicators for Smart City planning and management by retrieving them from big EO data using AI. For example, high resolution building footprint map, urban building change map, and traffic flow map. Supporting the abovementioned solutions is an easy-to-use, interactive big EO data analysis platform.

The goal of the TECTONIC project is to alleviate the challenging problem of hot-spots in 3D stacked chip-multiprocessors by employing a software-hardware based combined approach. With the stagnation in process technology scaling new emerging memory technologies are investigated. Promise of better scalability with reduced static leakage makes Non-volatile memories (NVM) as the potential candidates to replace conventional SRAM. However, many of the proposed NVM technologies are sensitive to heat, that raised up the issue of reliability. Considering heat dissipation as an exclusive issue of hardware will not be the appropriate approach towards finding out the solutions, as running-application has direct impacts on on-chip thermal imbalance. Hence, TECTONIC will manage the on-chip temperature and eliminate hot-spots by leveraging application specific knowledge extracted at compile time in combination with new hardware mechanisms for distributing computational work and memory accesses for even heat distribution while maintaining high performance.

The last half century has seen a tremendous advancement in adhesives technology and has led to widespread replacement of mechanical fasteners with adhesive bonds (e.g. aircraft, automobile, construction, etc.). Bonding to wet, rough and fouled surfaces, however, remains challenging and adhesive technology is rarely applied for bonding in wet conditions, such as in (orthopaedic) medicine. Therefore, a need exists to educate young researchers in this interdisciplinary research field of controlling adhesion under wet conditions and to bridge the gap between the fundamentals of underwater adhesives and their practice. BioSmartTrainee is set up to provide such training by a combination of three complementary scientific fields: polymer science, adhesion and (fluid)-biomechanics. We aim to (i) extract principles from biological systems and mimic them to design synthetic materials; to (ii) experimentally test their adhesion properties in wet conditions and to (iii) clarify the adhesion mechanisms based on natural examples and theoretical modelling. These innovative adhesives will be useful for reversible attachment to a variety of surfaces in wet environments and, therefore, be highly relevant for products from European industry such as technological adhesives, coatings, tissue adhesives, wound dressings or transdermal delivery devices. This carefully planned research and training program in a network of leading academic and industrial (BASF, AkzoNobel, UGRO) partners will ensure that young researchers are given an excellent training in a pioneering research domain of high scientific and technological relevance, where Europe can take a leading position.
