Because of high damage caused by corrosion, polymer protective coatings are materials of great importance. There is growing interest to search for high-performance coatings with less toxic anticorrosive additives (pigments) than commonly used chromates. The main obstacle in design of novel systems is the lack of understanding of fundamental transport phenomena of pigments in the coatings. The project MOMIC (Migration Of Molecules In Coatings) aims at investigating the migration mechanism of anticorrosive additives through polymer coatings. Two model systems will be investigated in order to meet this goal, namely isolated particles system, in which the transport phenomena in polymer matrix will be studied and clustered particles system which is a model reflecting commercial coating formulations. In order to evaluate the migration pathways through the coatings two measurement approaches will be employed. The depletion of the pigment particles will be studied with X-ray Computational Tomography (XCT) combined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)-based sectioning technique. The molecular migration will be followed with a combination of chemical imaging techniques such as Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), (Confocal) Raman and Infrared Spectroscopy. The project will result in establishing the mechanisms for model systems which are envisioned to be applied to characterise transport phenomena in commercial coatings. This will allow to design coatings with functional additives as well as improve their anticorrosive performance.

New Additive manufacTuring Heat ExchaNger for Aeronautic Today’s technologies and processes dedicated to the exchangers manufacturing hamper progress on higher performances (mechanical assies of repetitive and regular unitary components like folded sheet metal and/or tubing mostly welded). Traditional manufacturing entails limit for the customization of the inner structure, which have a direct impact on the thermal behavior of the exchanger core. Design and manufacture a complex core structure accordingly and well adapted to the inner thermal phenomenon seems to be a promising way to increase performances. Accordingly, NATHENA project aims at developing new complex inner structures for heat exchangers. NATHENA project will focus on the design development of a complex compact heat exchanger that best addresses thermal performance, made by additive manufacturing. These new compact air-air heat exchangers developed in NATHENA project will provide an efficient thermal management system dedicated to hybrid propulsion system. Two types of material will be studied regarding heat exchanger use: Aluminium for low temperature range and Inconel for high temperature range. The set objectives (see targets below) will be reached using calculation and multi-physical simulation (thermo-mechanical-fluidic) applied to evolutionary latticed and thin-walled structures combined optionally with fins to form a matrix of complex structures. Predictive models and/or laws will be developed for pressure and temperature drop. Topological and parametric optimization will be carried out in an iterative way towards the most efficient model. Through sample tests and final element method, calculation correlations will be carried out to ensure the relevance and validity of the basic structural choices as well as their combinations. Targets: Delta temperature: 200°C to 400°C Flow: 0.01kg/s to 2kg/s Power: 0.5 to 500kW Reynolds number: 400 to 10000 Pressure drop: 100mBar max Size: up to 500x300x300mm

The growth in coastal zone population increases the exposure of large numbers of people and assets to hazards related to climate change. Sea level rise and increased storminess represent major threats to coastal defences preventing the inundation of the hinterlands. This is true especially in low elevation coastal zones (LECZs). Understanding the mechanisms that govern the interaction between overtopping waves and coastal defences to changing climate conditions is of outmost importance to amend the current design criteria of coastal defences. The present project, named “DURCWAVE” (amending the Design criteria of URban defences in LECZs through Composite-modelling of WAVE overtopping under climate change scenarios), aims to identify new design criteria for wave action by modelling wave overtopping and post-overtopping processes of urban defences (storm walls, stilling wave basins, buildings along coastal boulevards). To reach these objectives the project will implement a composite-modelling approach, consisting of both physical and numerical modelling. Physical model tests will be carried out in two different wave flume facilities at the host organization (UPC), meanwhile the numerical modelling will be performed through the secondment at the partner organization (UVigo). The mesh-free DualSPHysics model will be used for the scope. The EPR data-driven technique will be used to find new correlations between wave impacts and overtopping flows. The Action will provide a methodology to help decision-makers to estimate the vulnerability of coastal zones to climate change, by assess the threats for sea frontages and buildings on the coastline. The project outcomes will trace the path at National and European levels for further extensions from urban defences in LECZs to all kind of coastal defences. Furthermore, a unique numerical model technique to simulate post-overtopping processes and estimate wave loadings on coastal defences will be release open-source for public use.

Increasing reduced fertility of men is a globally growing problem. It remains unexplained in several cases. One possible reason, asymptotic anaerobe bacterial infection, which is hardly detectable by currently applied clinical practice. We developed an effective bacterial infection detection method for human semen. Our technology does not require cell culturing, makes possible direct sample analysis without pre-conditioning, and can detect anaerobic bacteria species without anaerobic sampling and processing. We aim to standardise our measurement protocol carry out a detailed clinical validation, to commercialise our technology for medical laboratory service providers and private andrology clinics. In this Phase 1 project we shall prepare for the clinical validation and make a comprehensive business plan to attract investors.

Storytelling applies to nearly everything we do. Everybody uses stories, from educators to marketers and from politicians to journalists to inform, persuade, entertain, motivate or inspire. In the cultural heritage sector, however, narrative tends to be used narrowly, as a method to communicate to the public the findings and research conducted by the domain experts of a cultural site or collection. The principal objective of the EMOTIVE project is to research, design, develop and evaluate methods and tools that can support the cultural and creative industries in creating Virtual Museums which draw on the power of 'emotive storytelling'. This means storytelling that can engage visitors, trigger their emotions, connect them to other people around the world, and enhance their understanding, imagination and, ultimately, their experience of cultural sites and content. EMOTIVE will do this by providing the means to authors of cultural products to create high-quality, interactive, personalized digital stories. The EMOTIVE project targets two main groups of users: 1. Authors: members of the cultural and creative industries in charge of creating interactive cultural experiences (i.e., interactive stories) and making them available to the visitors. 2. Visitors: people experiencing the cultural site through a “World” created with the EMOTIVE Authoring System. They join in the available experiences when entering the site or when remotely connecting to the site’s Virtual Museum. The project results will be evaluated and validated in major cultural sites in Europe through an extensive network of cultural organizations and creative industries that have expressed their interest to the project.

CD4+ T cells are crucial component of our immune system: they support distinct types of proinflammatory responses key for pathogen clearance, maintain tolerance and suppress harmful inflammation. To perform this multitude of functions, naïve CD4+ T cells first undergo activation through direct contact with dendritic cells (DCs), a highly heterogeneous compartment including several populations of migratory and resident cells. These interactions lead to selection of antigen specific T cell clones, followed by their proliferation and differentiation into distinct subsets showing specialized effector programs or polarizations. Despite the essential role of dendritic cells in the activation and polarization of naïve CD4+ T cells, we have limited information available on both the identity of DC involved in priming and the molecular messages exchanged upon DC-CD4+ T cell interaction in different types of response. Recently, I developed an innovative technology that allows us for the first time to label interactions between immune cells in vivo. This method, which we called LIPSTIC, relies on the labeling of genetically engineered receptor–ligand pairs mediated by the enzyme Sortase A. After the enzymatic reaction takes place in vivo, the history of ligand–receptor interactions is revealed by the presence of reporter tags easily detected by flow cytometry. This proposal aims to determine how interactions between dendritic cells and T cells instruct CD4+ T cells toward distinct fates using LIPSTIC and by implementing other technologies designed ad hoc to measure and understand the biological consequences of relevant cell-cell interactions on T cell fate decision. The combined approaches described here will contribute to the characterization of the molecular signals governing CD4+ T cell response in vivo.

Spaceport is a media server capable of capturing and streaming 3D live media. Streaming media is more popular than ever and video streaming registered the highest growth. Until recently the media content, such as sport matches, concerts, live events, has been delivered is in 2D format but as the improvement in the Virtual Reality technology speeds up, 2D contents will be obsolete very soon. There are 2 main techniques in VR technology: First one is the 360°, the method most commonly used today. Second one, which is a very new technology, is 3D Volumetric Video Capturing technique. Our product Spaceport has been developed with this newest technology and it is the only product-to-be, which is very close to the market, that can capture and stream 3D content based on volumetric video capturing technology. 3D Volumetric capture, is expected to surpass 360° solutions very soon. The main advantage Volumetric video differs from traditional VR or 360° video is that it offers a truly three-dimensional viewing experience. With existing 360° videos today, audience’s view is locked to a single vantage point. There is no depth of field. Unlike real-time rendered VR games, spectator can’t walk around inside the video. In 3D format, a spectator in VR is able to physically look and move through the scene. In 360-degree video, audience is stuck with the location. Everything’s fixed. With volumetric everything’s possible. Although our product can be used for various purposes such as trainings, presentations, communication, medical education, and live events, we chose to enter with the media & entertainment sector as it has the highest potential in terms of growth and profitability. The total size of the video market is USD 30.29 Billion in 2016 and this value is expected to reach USD 70.05 Billion in 2020. Our initial growth assumption is to reach a turnover of revenue of 17 million Euro and create additional employment of 50 people by the third year.
