The NGI vision clearly identifies major social and economic challenges that need to be addressed urgently, and articulates a powerful vision for a new phase of the internet. It tries to create an Internet of Human Values, that is resilient, trustworthy and sustainable. The overall mission of the Next Generation Internet initiative is to re-imagine and re-engineer the Internet for the third millennium and beyond. We have an ambitious project in support of that vision that wants to have an actual real-world impact at the system level. We will provide an agile, effective and low-threshold funding mechanism to enable individual researchers and developers as well as small teams to research and develop important new ideas that contribute to the NGI. We build on decades of experience to make this very simple and user-friendly, to allow clueful and committed people to focus on delivering solutions to important problems. Unique to our project is that - built on this experience - we will provide a greenhouse environment for the projects and teams that are funded within NGI. We aim to complement the knowledge and skill set of the project proposers with world class domain experts in various fields, such as accessibility, engineering secure software, localisation, software license compliance, packaging, responsible disclosure, documentation, etc . We provide guidance and mentoring to tackle each of these topics. We have the support of (and are directly engaging with) the major constituencies in the internet area: the European association of research networks (GÉANT), the open source community (FSFE), the digital rights community (EDRi), the regional internet registry (RIPE), the hosting companies (ECO, DHPA), the internet exchanges (EURO-ix), the web standards community (W3C), embedded systems manufacturers for industry (OSADL), open hardware community (FOSSI), and more. Let’s together re-invent Internet to reach the full human potential, for all generations.

The main goals of the e-Airport project are: • The development of an airport operations monitor application based on European GNSS to increase the efficiency, safety and security of aircraft services and cargo processes • Application demonstrations in two European airports using EGNOS and Galileo Early services. Eurocontrol statistics indicates that 70 % of all flight delays in Europe are caused by airlines or their ground handlers, airports or other parties involved in the turn around process which includes cabin service, catering, fuelling, cargo operations, passenger boarding etc. On the other hand, ICAO Annex 14 recommends to provide apron management service to increase airport capacity in low visibility conditions and at complex, high-density aerodromes. To cope with these efficiency and safety goals different R&D projects in Europe have developed applications focused on improving particular aspects of Airport Operations. The e-Airport project aims at: • evolve GPS based solutions developed in previous projects in multicostellation based solutions exploiting GPS, EGNOS/EDAS and Galileo services • integrate the applications developed to monitor aircraft services and cargo processes in a single wider application able to measure the global Airport performance Key Performance Indicators according to the SESAR guidelines Moreover e-Airport project will propose an evolution of the current CEN standard for provision of EGNOS CS/EDAS based services to include the use of Galileo services and it will release the associated client SW tool to the GNSS developer community with free open source license. Airport Operators and one Air Navigation Service Provider are part of the e-Airport project team to drive the application development with actual operational user needs and to validate the application demonstration in: • “Karol Wojtyła” International Airport of Bari-Palese • “Henri Coandă” International Airport of Bucarest

For the past 15 years, European beekeepers have been reporting weakening bee numbers and colony losses. The situation is worsening as according to a recent study of the European Union Reference Laboratory for honeybee health, some countries are losing up to a third of their colonies every year. Honey bees are essential in the pollination of many agricultural crops and concerns have been raised about the ability to maintain the pollination services required to ensure pollinator dependent food production. Nowadays European citizens consider the decline in bee numbers to be the most serious environmental issue – more than climate change. The IoBee consortium wants to disrupt the beekeeping market by reducing colony losses by at least 50%! Through this project, we aim to pilot and commercialise a new Internet of Things (IoT) sensor application that can automatically assess the threat status to a colony. The system will wirelessly transmit results to a cloud server, making field data available for running prediction models, perform risk assessments, issue warnings and make historical analysis using a SDSS- Spatial Decision Support System. This will allow beekeepers to be active participants in colony surveillance programmes with unprecedented accuracy and responsiveness, and as a result, unhealthy or threatened colonies will be remotely detected earlier with greater precision, saving millions of Euros in potential losses. Many systems to monitor beehives already exist in the market. However there are 3 main gaps in the SoA: 1) No solution can i) “fingerprint” individual bees and determine if they are healthy or have a problem (disease, poisoning, etc.), ii) identify bee castes, and iii) identify pest insects that attack hives. 2) No solution offers IoT capability, nor follows standards that could enable establishing the first interoperable surveillance network in Europe. 3) No solution has a SDSS, which is paramount to an advanced EU surveillance system

Drug development for Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and further neurodegenerative diseases is struggling due to high failure rate and high costs. BTech is a new 3D in vitro Brain-on-a-Chip technology that can offer medium-throughput screening of drugs during pre-clinical testing that more accurately reflects the effects of drugs on humans than conventional 2D cell cultures and mouse models. The technology is based on microfluidics where cells are cultured in three dimensional hydrogel environments mimicking the conditions in vivo. BTech provides solutions for pharmaceutical companies, specialised biotech companies and academic researchers to test novel drug compounds with applications in neurodegenerative disorders and for toxicity testing. The business model is based on two applications: • As a Service in it`s own the laboratory, BT cultivates human stem cell derived neurons and midbrain organoids and then evaluates the application of customers’ compounds on them. • As a Product, the company offers ready-made midbrain organoids. These organoids are 3D structures with specialized brain cells that are spatially and functionally organized to mimic the physiological state of the human brain. The organoids are sold and shipped to customers and used directly by them as a research material or a pre-clinical model. During Phase 1, the feasibility assessment will focus on following technical and business objectives during its 6 months, to develop a robust plan for Phase 2, which intend to reach the industrial stage of development and commercialize BTech on the market. It intend to scout and involve companies from the pharma industry, such as Sanofi, Evotec AG, Farcoderm or UCD to validate in Phase 2 the software, platform and processes, by performing 2 test with a total of 20 compounds.

Vaccination is widely considered one of the greatest medical achievements for preventing infectious diseases. The basis for most currently licensed human vaccines relies on the induction of high affinity antibodies by antigen-specific B cells that can neutralise pathogens in case of future exposures. The widespread immunity that vaccination conveys has led to worldwide eradication of smallpox and the elimination of diseases such as polio, diphtheria, and tetanus from most parts of the world. In spite of the worldwide effort to generate a universal flu vaccine, the induction of long-lasting protective immunity has been, so far, unsuccessful owing to the rapid antigenic variation of influenza virus. Due to these limitations, influenza infection remains a serious threat to public health and economy, with 5 to 30% of the world population acquiring seasonal influenza virus every year. Interestingly, it was recently shown that antibodies derived from lung-resident germinal centre B cells, unlike those arising from lymph nodes or spleen, bear the ability to neutralise different strain variants of the virus. These findings not only uncover the physiological advantage of tissue-specific germinal centres but also underscore the potential of targeting B cells directly at the lung mucosa to generate protective vaccines against highly variable viruses. My research plan aims to unveil the early events involved in the induction of B cell immunity at the lung mucosa, with a focus on how respiratory antigens are delivered to B cells at the barrier surface. A precise delineation of the initial steps required for the generation of broadly-neutralising antibodies upon respiratory infection will provide invaluable medical insights towards the development of a universal flu vaccine.

Since the invention of integrated circuits, there has been a persistent incentive towards miniaturization. An indispensable part of every chip is a multi-level wiring system fabricated on top of the semiconductor layer containing the transistors. As transistors get smaller and more densely packed, the complexity and the impact on performance of the on-chip interconnects rises. The non-zero resistance and capacitance associated with the metal wires and the dielectric medium between them induce cross-talk noise between adjacent interconnects, limit the speed of signal propagation and increase the power consumption of a chip. The LO-KMOF project proposes an approach to alleviate these issues by integrating for the first time metal-organic frameworks as an interconnect dielectric. The project will make use of a novel vapour phase deposition approach for these materials, developed in the ERC project VAPORE. If successful, the project will contribute to chips that are not only faster but also consume less power. The proposed technology will be validated in an industrially relevant demonstrator.

This proposal refers to the development of PREFEapp, an innovative mobile application that aims at disrupting the way people consume food by cutting food waste at its roots thanks to the cooperation of final consumers, municipal undertakings and LSRT players. The app will offer final consumers: an automated digital food pantry to recreate the physical pantry on their smartphones, alert notifications sent when any product in the pantry gets closer to its expiry date, a notice board in which every close-to-expiry product is inserted and can be sold to neighbours or donated if it remains unsold, recipes based on users’ tastes and on the close-to-expiry ingredients already in the pantry as well as an inventory check with augmented reality (to use when grocery shopping) to know exactly how many stocks of products are already in the pantry. Municipal undertakings, instead, will access a dashboard to reduce their waste disposal costs by giving specific incentives to consumers to further reduce their waste production and by optimizing the door-to-door waste collection service. Finally, LSRT players will use the same notice board for their close-to-expiry products and would access real time food consumption data from app users. By doing so, PREFEapp will be the first mobile app in the world addressing the causes of food waste generation and not just providing a sub-optimal solution aimed at redistributing products based on the Food Recovery Hierarchy. Indeed, by creating an ecosystem in which the needs of all the actors involved are perfectly addressed – in terms of saving money that would otherwise be wasted, significantly reducing relevant cost items to grant a better service with lower expenses and increasing the customer base to achieve greater profitability – it will be possible to create a new food consumption paradigm allowing every final consumer to really change his consumption habits and to grant the sustainable development of our society.

The WHO has identified neurological disorders as a major burden and emerging challenge to global healthcare systems. These range from causes such as stroke and dementia, to injuries and viral infections. The prevalence of strokes and dementia are strongly linked to increasing age, for example stroke risk more than doubles every decade after 55 . Although, mortality attributable to stroke has decreased over time Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability globally and can cause significant deficits in sensorimotor skills and cognitive abilities. With the increasingly aging populations across the world and particularly in Europe, the burden of care from Neurological disorders is set to continue increasing. BrainQ’s BQ system is a revolutionary Brain Computer Interface-based stimulation device used to enhance neuro-recovery. Our device uses proprietary, artificial intelligence algorithms to identify anomalous spectral patterns in patient's brain waves (“EEG”). These patterns are then translated into a tailored frequency dependent electromagnetic treatment targeting specific impaired functional neural network associated with these frequencies and triggers natural rehabilitation thus promoting neuro recovery process. Device is designed to enable non-invasive treatment for motor impairments following a variety of neurological disorders; help patients get back on their feet and restore their ability to perform activities of daily living. Treatment is tailored to each patient, is patient friendly, non-invasive, cloud connected & scalable, with low Bill of Materials, and operator & indication agnostic. This means it is easily operated and can be used to treat a variety of neurological disorders. Pre-clinical animal trials and first-in-human clinical trials have demonstrated remarkable efficacy, allowing paralysed patients regain sensor and motor abilities.

Among the most important mathematical quantities of interest in high-energy particle physics are the so-called scattering amplitudes, which allow us to make predictions for physical observables. Despite their importance, performing explicit computations of scattering amplitudes is still one of the bottlenecks of high-energy physics, mostly due to the complexity of the integrals involved and a lack of understanding of the underlying mathematics. Over the last couple of years, a deep connection between scattering amplitudes and certain branches of modern mathematics has slowly started to emerge. The goal of MathAm is investigate in detail the relationship between scattering amplitudes, number theory and algebraic geometry, with the final aim of developing novel computational techniques for scattering amplitudes that are beyond reach of conventional state-of-the-art technology. The ultimate goal of MathAm is threefold: By revealing unexpected connections between seemingly disconnected areas of mathematics and physics, MathAm will 1. shed new light on the mathematical underpinnings of the fundamental laws of Nature in general. 2. play a decisive role in testing recent conjectures about the all-loop structure of certain special classes of gauge 3. theories by confronting them to the explicit results for scattering amplitudes, 3. set a new standard for making predictions for collider experiments like the LHC by performing computations that are beyond reach of current technology. To sum up, MathAm has a unique multi-disciplinary character and, by applying novel technology from modern mathematics, its results will have impact in various seemingly disconnected disciplines, ranging from the frontiers of research in pure mathematics over formal aspects of Quantum Field Theory all the way to making the most precise theoretical predictions for the LHC experiments.
