The AquaticPollutants proposal responds to the Horizon 2020 (H2020) Societal Challenge 5 SC 5 21-2019-2020: Risks posed to human health and the environment by pollutants and pathogens present in water resources. AquaticPollutants aims at pooling resources from the 32 participating national and regional research programme owners / managers of 26 countries to implement a joint call for proposals (with EU co-funding). One of the most serious risks for freshwater and marine ecosystems and consequently human health derives from the occurrence of emerging pollutants and pathogens, especially antimicrobial resistant bacteria, in the environment. To face this challenge in a comprehensive way and to provide multidisciplinary solutions for a safe and clean aquatic ecosystems (freshwater, groundwater, marine) this ERA-NET Cofund is carried out as a collaboration between three Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs): Water JPI “Water Challenges for a Changing World”, JPI Oceans “Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans” and JPI AMR “On Antimicrobial Resistance”. The topic of the ERA-NET Cofund aims to deliver on priorities identified in the Research Agendas of the three JPIs. The overall objective is to strengthen the European Research Area (ERA) in the field of clean and healthy aquatic ecosystems and to leverage untapped potential in the collaboration between the freshwater, marine and health research areas. Moreover, AquaticPollutants includes 9 organizations from associated and third countries in an effort to reinforce and expand international cooperation. With new instruments in the Additional Activities the implementation of the co-funded call will be further supported and the cooperation of Water JPI, JPI Oceans and JPI AMR will be strengthened. It is envisaged to generate an increased visibility of the topic at European and international level and a stronger alignment of the three JPIs.

The approach of BIOVALUE project is to set-up a holistic perspective, under the “multi-actor” approach, to analyse the link between biodiversity, the agro-food value chain agents, the environment, consumer food preferences and health. By employing a bottom-up vertical approach to develop the BIOVALUE TOOL, a dynamic and customizable agri-food value chain vis-a-vis biodiversity analysis tool, the proposal tries to introduce, model, evaluate, breed, produce and spread specifically selected genetically diverse underutilized crops (cereals, legumes, leafy and fruity vegetables) and develop final marketable, certified and labelled culinary products incorporating them (dish recipes and processed foodstuff), that enhance agro-biodiversity to the applied agro-ecosystems and appeal to the consumers, securing their future market performance and concurrently, their cultivation viability. Moreover, in a modelled user-friendly ready-to-work framework, the project will produce a set of key performance indicators destined to measure policy quality and impact, environmental evolution and compliance with regulations of introducing underutilized, genetically diverse crops to the value chain and are by design expandable to further enhance biodiversity in the value chain. Ultimately, this expanding nature, is highlighted by the complimentary effects of BIOVALUE processed and unprocessed final food products and dishes such as low energy consumption, environmental cultivation resiliency to marginal landscapes and future climate, as well as nutritional and health benefits. Incorporating the market power in the whole approach, the proposal can lead towards self-supported sustainability of biodiversity in the future.

How do societies remember? Memory is fragile and volatile and thus people around the world, and through time, have created ways to recall events and to share knowledge. The MEMORISING project will be a training-through-research project aiming to explore the relationships between memory, rock art and acoustics by using case studies from indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds from Europe and America. I will compile and review the related literature on the aforementioned topics, and document the rock art and aural phenomena at rock art sites in both areas. I will record legends and traditions about the sites in Europe as well as stories, ritual activities and people’s perceptions at sites in America. Following the methodology received in my training at the UB, I will test the acoustics of rock art sites in both areas. The importance of sound to present-day local communities in both regions will be explored through ways learned at the UB in the form of interviews, historical and ethnographic accounts. Test areas will be located in the Montes de Prades (Tarragona, Spain) and Oaxaca (Mexico). Results will be disseminated widely in academic venues, and social impact will be sought through activities in local communities and media publications. MEMORISING is a multidisciplinary project integrating perspectives from archaeology, anthropology and acoustics. It aims also at contributing to the pride of place in the areas where the sites to be investigated are located. Reports to heritage managers and local councils will promote the future sustainability use and possible exploitation of the sites.

Audience profiling is one of the key activities for marketers and brands in order to deter-mine interest profiles of their customers and their propensity to click/buy and therefore make smarter business decisions. Profiling is used in many areas, from e-commerce, to customer management and digital advertising (a market that moves over $228 billion worldwide). However, keyword-based current solutions come short in terms of accuracy (only 63% of context understanding the human way), while solutions using third-party data will become obsolete with the GDPR coming in action this May. ADmantX is a smart data provider that facilitates advanced brand planning and targeting within the digital advertising industry. We have 20 years of experience in context analysis for targeted online advertising, using semantic tools and proprietary patented NLP technology that makes our solution the most efficient on the market, understanding and analysing consumer data in a human-like manner. Our AI profiling is using a combination of semantic + keyword based analysis and including an emotional and sentiment module we can obtain 95% accuracy, increase by 200% CTR, and by 300% brand awareness. Furthermore, by basing our solution in first-party customer data only, we are the only EU-company that is fully GDPR compliant. AI Profiling results have been consolidated with initials A/B tests with major companies from our current clients (Sky Italy) and our focus in now on providing better visualization tools, scaling, integrating with major bidding platforms and reach new markets outside EU, getting a €5 million accumulated profit and 2,38 ROI by year 5.

Digital advertising campaigns must manage massive data, impossible to cope effectively manually. This reduces the quality of targeting, the cross-platform Ads and Keyword Management. As a result, diminishes the marketing performance. Current available tools in the market are either expensive, just suitable for small advertising accounts, and don’t use sophisticated algorithms to incorporate artificial intelligence. PTC is the first continuous Keyword-feed methodology -big data in real time- based on Machine Learning algorithms & Nature language processing that is applied to Google AdWords. PTC creates, manages and optimizes thousands of ads automatically and in any language, saving time and money. It can be easy implemented being compatible with existing SEM management tools and it can find new terms that can be included as keywords into SEM strategies. The target market for PTC are the more than 4 million Google advertisers. Our clients will be both companies from any sector –mainly large accounts like banking, tourism brands, marketing agencies- and marketing agencies. Following our business plan, we can reach 270 clients by 2022 including large, medium and small accounts. We believe it is an easy to reach objective since companies and like Telefonica or Cabify and marketing agencies as Nivaria are already interested in PTC and are acting as validators. In order to accomplish our goal, we have planned an investment of € 1.75 Million for the PTC project attainment. We expect to get a cumulative revenue of €17.8 M by the third year, meaning a cumulative EBTDA of € 5.2 M. Considering a 3-years forecast will give us a ROI of 570%.

SellSTEM will train a new generation of early stage researchers (ESR) to bring fresh thinking to the twin issue of low enrolment and gender imbalance in STEM education and careers by addressing deficits in spatial ability among young people across Europe. A key factor of intelligence, spatial ability is strongly related to achievement in and attraction towards STEM learning yet is underdeveloped among many young people in Europe. The large gender gap in spatial ability in favour of males means girls are over-represented in the low spatial ability group and more disadvantaged in STEM learning. ESRs will be trained to collect spatial ability data from children in Europe, measure their relation to academic performance and career choice and analyse interaction by gender, region and socioeconomic status. ESRs will create ways to develop spatial ability among children through online learning, tactile activities, integrated with other subjects and through project-based learning including maker space workshop. ESRs will work with teachers and teacher educators to identify barriers and enablers to developing spatial ability so they can provide sustainable classroom solutions to increase the spatial ability of children beyond existing levels. Education policy and curriculum design will be critiqued against latest research on cognitive development. Improved policies and curricula will be produced along with strategies to change teacher education and teaching practice. Guides for teachers to assessing spatial ability and classroom teaching activities for different age groups will be developed so teachers can assess and promote growth in spatial ability especially among girls. SellSTEM ESRs will produce new knowledge and methods to promote spatial development, increase STEM enrolment and reduce gender imbalance and help to open up an important research topic in Europe. In this way, SellSTEM will and directly support the EU agenda for growth and jobs both now and into the future.

Development and construction of accelerator based scientific Research Infrastructures are going through a deep paradigm change because of the need for large scale Technological Infrastructures at the forefront of technology to master the key accelerator and magnet science and technology needed for several fields. Indeed, because of the high technological level and of the increased size and time scale of projects, development and construction require more and more sophisticated R&D platforms on key accelerator and magnet technologies, large-scale facilities for their assembly, integration and verification, large concentrations of dedicated skilled personnel and long term relationships between laboratories and industry. In response to those challenges, a few large platforms specialized in interdisciplinary technologies and for applications of direct benefit to society are emerging. The emerging Technological Infrastructure is aiming at creating an efficient integrated ecosystem among laboratories focussed on R&D, with a long term vision for the technological needs of future RIs and industry, including SME, motivated by the innovative environment and the market created by the realisation of the technological needs of several RIs. With a timeline of 30 months, involving 10 Consortium partners, the AMICI proposal will ensure that A) a stronger and optimised integration model between the large existing technological infrastructures is developed and agreed upon, B) that this integrated ecosystem is attracting industries and fostering innovation based on accelerator and SC magnets cutting-edge developments, C) that strategy and roadmaps are clearly defined and understood to strongly position European industries and SMEs on the market of the construction of new Research Infrastructures worldwide, and D) that potential societal applications are identified and disseminated to the relevant partners of this ecosystem.

In nature, biological light harvesting complexes use antennas molecules to harvest photons, generate excitons and then funnel them to the reaction centre where their energy is used to drive photosynthesis. Inspired by this paradigm, SOLARX will explore new strategies for photon management in solar energy harvesting, based on the transfer and manipulation of excitons at hybrid interfaces. At the core of SOLARX is our development of a new femtosecond transient absorption imaging technique with sub-10fs time resolution and sub-diffraction limit spatial resolution. This opens completely new possibilities to explore excitonic physics at the nanoscale, directly visualising not just the motion of excitons but understanding how vibronic coupling and local structure affects their dynamics. Building on this platform we will deliver ground-breaking new insights into excitonic process in and at the interfaces between organic semiconductors, quantum dots, 2D monolayer semiconductors and lanthanide doped nanoparticles. We will elucidate the fundamental nanoscale dynamics of: (1) endothermic singlet fission, (2) the injection of triplet excitons into lanthanide doped nanoparticles and (3) the motion of excitons in 2D monolayer semiconductors and how these excitons can be funnelled over µm length scales to be transferred to quantum dots. We will then use these insights to develop proof of concept demonstrations of structures which harvest photons across the visible and NIR, efficiently converting high energy visible photons to two NIR photons and then concentrating these photons within structures with the potential to achieve concentration factors well above 100, thus concentrating light to drastically reduce the number of PV panels and hence dramatically reducing the cost of solar energy. SOLARX will thus explore and elucidate fundamental new excitonic physics and use these insights to bring a paradigm shift to solar energy harvesting technologies.
