The objective of POLIFEMO project is a feasibility study about a new Panoramic Multifunctional Sensor for Small/Micro Satellite, whose intend is to reduce the small satellite design and integration cost, while adding a satellite independent capability to cope with debris and other spacecraft. POLIFEMO provides a new innovative multifunctional space sensor equipment that, replacing many sensors with one single sensor, addresses both the typical microsatellite attitude determination subsystem challenges with the implementation of the star and earth sensor capabilities and the space situational awareness (providing anti-collision, and anti-debris capabilities). This is also due to the use of an innovative “hyper-hemisferic” panoramic lens, which is able to catch a field of view of 360° in azimuth (panorama), and up to 270° in elevation (hyper-hemisphere), that is compact, robust, autonomous and low cost. The effectiveness of POLIFEMO are clearly found in lower integration cost, lower mass and size, better versatility and flexibility compared to the replaced cluster of sensors. The specific objectives of the feasibility study object of this proposal consist of the activities aiming at verifying economic and technological suitability of the POLIFEMO space equipment supporting small/micro satellites implementation. The economic viability includes the market analysis with the specification of the EU and international target market for the POLIFEMO aiming at focusing on product requirements and identifying potential launch customers. Moreover, it includes a strategy plan for commercialization in an international market. The technological suitability includes a study about the integration of the hyper-hemispheric panoramic lens with sensor electronics and the other components needed to realize the multi-functional space sensor equipment.

Meristems are the stem cell reservoirs that enable plants to grow and develop throughout their lifetime. Meristem activities shape a plant’s architecture and phenotype, and enable it to acclimate and respond to its environment. However, little is known of the mechanisms through which meristem maintenance and functions are regulated. The receptor-like kinase (RLK) CLAVATA1 (CLV1) promotes cell differentiation and forms a negative feedback loop with the mobile, stem cell fate-promoting transcription factor WUSCHEL (WUS) in the shoot meristem to balance the generation of new organs with stem cell maintenance. Mutations in the CLV1 pathway are responsible for several advantageous crop traits achieved through selective breeding, such as larger tomato fruit, making meristems the focus of further attempts to improve crop productivity. A similar stem cell control pathway acts in the root meristem, involving the RLKs ARABIDOPSIS CRINKLY 4 (ACR4) and CLV1, which form complexes that preferentially localise to plasmodesmata (PDs). This led to the hypothesis that these complexes control the symplastic exchange of molecules, such as transcription factors that promote stem cell fate, through PDs. Here I will use state-of-the-art proteomics, super-resolution nanoscopy and high-resolution in vivo fluorescence microscopy methods to characterise these PD-localised RLK complexes in Arabidopsis, and identify novel downstream signalling effectors. Using CRISPR knock-out mutants and novel in vivo signalling and transport assays, I will analyse the roles of CLV1/ACR4-signalling in regulating PD signalling and transport, and in controlling meristem maintenance and development. A greater understanding of CLV1/ACR4-signalling functions and the effect of changes in regulatory gene expression will enable the development of synthetic peptides or targeted plant breeding strategies to control plant phenology and architecture, ensuring crops can be adapted to grow in an ever-changing climate.

Clouds may never have had a more important meaning to society as they have today. They regulate the Earth's energy balance and are key drivers of how climate responds to changing greenhouse gas levels. Moreover, they generate precipitation, which has a direct impact on the supply of fresh water on Earth. Clouds however are the most elusive component of the climate system, and the largest source of predictive error in any atmospheric and climate models. Of all cloud types, mixed-phase (consisting of both liquid water and ice) clouds are by far the most uncertain, while they dominate the energy balance and precipitation in many regions of the globe. At the heart of this uncertainty is the inability to capture ice crystal formation and the explosive multiplication that can occur, which in turn fundamentally affect cloud processes. The exact mechanisms involved and their relative importance remain unknown; as a result a description of these processes is currently missing in weather forecast and climate models. Our aim is to resolve this ice formation “paradox”, by quantitatively understanding the mechanisms responsible for enhanced cloud ice levels, and develop parameterizations of these processes for use in numerical models. For this purpose we will use state-of-the-art highresolution models, a unique laboratory dataset and in-situ observations, while our parameterizations will be tested in a weather forecast model. Our initial focus will be in the Arctic, the most climatically sensitive region of the planet, but results have the potential to improve mixed-phase cloud representation at lower latitudes as well. As clouds are a critical component of the climate system, improving cloud-ice representation in models is expected to result in more accurate weather predictions and future climate projections

STARGATE is the response of a consortium of 22 entities led by Brussels Airport committing to create green airports as multimodal hubs for sustainable and smart mobility. STARGATE follows an ambitious strategy to impactfully contribute to the strengthening of the competitiveness of the European air transport ecosystem. The mission of the STARGATE consortium is to develop, test and deploy a set of innovative solutions making the airport ecosystem significantly more sustainable. Our vision is to build with STARGATE a benchmark and be source of inspiration to other airports in Europe and the world. STARGATE is grounded on five main pillars. The first one is the application of a Digital Twin ecosystem for airports and extensive development to model the Lighthouse Airport, its transport flows, airport process, energy production and supply and emissions management. The second pillar is the focus on multimodal, sustainable and smart mobility through an innovative mobility governance practice to create an intermodal hub, and dedi-cated tools to enhance digitalisation and decarbonisation of transport for both people and goods. Third, the opti-misation of terminal operations, including the deployment of a Terminal Command Centre, a novel approach to circular resource management and the minimisation of resources and waste generated. The fourth pillar tackles the investigation in the energy field and production and use of SAF. Finally, the fifth pillar covers cross-cutting aspects such as minimisation of noise and emissions, assessing non-technological framework conditions and promoting new multi-actor governance arrangements. In STARGATE all actions undertaken are widespread as much as possible, not only to create awareness, but also to serve as valuable inputs and groundwork for other initiatives and projects in the sustainability field. Ultimately, this value chain will improve the quality of life of European citizens and provide solid foundations for a sustainable future

The Industrial Revolution is one of the most important events in human history: within a century, some countries multiplied their per capita income while others stagnated, exacerbating international inequality. Reducing this enduring inequality through industrial development has been a crucial policy goal; however, as no precise understanding of industrial development exists, no consistent international policy has been formulated. The understanding of this phenomenon has been hampered by a lack of data, theory, and historical dynamism. Many studies are, due to the lack of data, conducted on the national level, despite the fact that industrialization is ultimately a regional (i.e. intra-national) phenomenon. The basic principle of regional industrialization was investigated until the 1990s, when the focus shifted to other areas. At that time these studies had still been unconnected with economic location theory, as in the 1990s these were still unable to explain the regional spread of industrialization. Yet, more recent location theories have relaxed certain theoretical assumptions, allowing their application to the spread of industrialization as well. However, even these theories often lack historical dynamism, i.e. the capability to predict and explain the considerable changes that industrialization underwent these past 200 years. Using the regional approach, merging it with recent location theory, and creating a systematic regional dataset, this project will fundamentally alter our insights in the spread and development of industrialization. Analysis will focus on four macro regions and their sub-regions: two in Europe (England and the Low Countries) and two in China (the Yangtze delta and the Yungui area). These macro regions cover the timeline of industrialization (England, then the Low Countries, and much later, the Yangtze and finally the Yungui area) which may have caused different patterns of local industrialization within each of these macro regions.

The goal of LINK is to deepen cooperation between two international leading research centres and a research institution of a widening region in the area of intelligent processing to support cardiovascular disease management in PHC. A twofold strategy shall be followed. (i) Using a status assessment of the Portuguese research on PHC and an international research forum, a roadmap for excellence shall be established. From this roadmap, specific cutting edge research tracks shall developed by common workgroups. These will foster knowledge transfer between partners by using a “learn by doing” approach, but also increase the research excellence momentum. These research tracks will support Concept definition activities that will be the basis for new project, network and PhD grant proposals, leading to a continuum of widening. (ii) Existing links to international leading organisations (e.g., IFMBE, IEEE-EMBS) and key actors in PHC (academic, industrial and users) will be exploited to launch a research and innovation forum to define a research agenda and the design of curricula for advanced training. Activities to increase the Consortium members’ involvement in chairing major international events in the field and to link to reputed summer schools. Active involvement of consortium members in existing international working groups in the field will be pursued.

Dendritic cells (DC) are powerful antigen-presenting cells that can induce antigen-specific adaptive immunity to pathogens but also protective immunity against transformed self, i.e. cancer. This crucial role of DC makes them an attractive target in cancer vaccination. However, DC can also negatively regulate immunity by inducing antigen-specific tolerance and are a target in immunomodulatory approaches aimed at dampening autoimmunity or allergy. Given this dual role in immunity and tolerance it is hard to predict what would happen if DC were to become neoplastically transformed. Their immunogenic potential could make transformed DC highly susceptible to control by the immune system, which might explain why DC cancers are rarely observed in humans. In contrast, their tolerogenic potential could make transformed DC especially adept at escaping immunological control. So far, the aetiology of DC cancer and its immunological consequences remain elusive due to the lack of appropriate models to study the disease. In order to investigate the feasibility of DC tumour formation and the immune control of DC tumours, a novel genetically-engineered mouse model of DC cancer has been generated. We will use this model to characterise DC tumour development in vivo and establish which DC subsets contribute to DC cancer. Furthermore, we will adapt this model so that we can control the location and onset of neoplastic transformation of DC in vivo. Both models will then be employed to investigate to which extent DC cancer is recognised and modulated by cells of the immune system. Furthermore, we will assess whether transformed DC exploit tolerogenic mechanisms to progress into tumours. Our proposal will give novel insights into the biology of cancer development and its control by the immune system. We anticipate that understanding these processes will provide important insights into immune surveillance and the role of DC in anti-cancer immunity, helping to improve cancer immunotherapy.
