The “Real Value of Energy Efficiency, REFEREE” project strongly advocates the principle that energy efficiency measures will be key for delivering the European Green Deal, which sets out the roadmap for making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and, in this framework, aims to (1) analyze and quantify the direct and indirect non-energy impacts of energy efficiency investments and to (2) develop easy-to-use tools to support policy makers at the national, regional and local level. REFEREE will help households, businesses, financing institutions, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders to evaluate the multiple impacts of their energy efficiency choices. It will encompass the assessment of energy efficiency investments in a variety of ecosystems, including low income regions and socially imbalanced societies. To fulfil these objectives, the project will design and develop an integrated set of analysis tools from the macro-economic level to the micro level at consumer and firm scale. Through a user-friendly interface, it will then develop a Policy Support System will allow policy makers, businesses, financial institutions and others to better understand the real value of energy efficiency policies and their cost effectiveness. It will also allow them to develop more effective plans, means and measures. To maximise the impact of the REFEREE policy support tool, stakeholders will be involved from the inception of the project, through concrete opportunities for its co-development, pilot studies, and focused dissemination and communication actions. Thanks to a unique consortium structure and strategic partnerships, REFEREE can offer an unprecedented effort of dissemination and exploitation with focus on state, municipal as well as entrepreneurial decision makers in the framework of the multilevel governance approach.

The overall objective of the project is to develop a social networking and awareness platform dedicated to childcare and work life balance. The platform builds on neighbourhood networks enabling citizens to come together and share tasks, time and skills relevant to childcare and after school education/leisure which have become unaffordable in times of stagnation and austerity. To achieve this objective the project borrows and integrates the concepts of time banking with some already developed digital social innovation experiments in the child care field represented in the consortium and seeks to further exploit the potential of ICT networks to increase participatory innovation in the sense of self-organizing neighbourhoods. The specific objectives of the project are: - Exploring new ways for sharing and socializing child care needs and care work in urban communities facilitated by ICT - Supporting families, couples and individuals with care tasks to find flexible solutions in their daily lives to cope with care work and time management needs in more balanced ways - Raising awareness on the importance of overcoming gender biased views of care roles, as well as stereotypes related to intersected social differences (class and economic status, ethnic background, sexual orientation, etc.) Proposed actions: - Needs analysis and residents engagements in 7 Cities in Europe activating 7 Families_Share City Labs where needs analysis, platform co-design, pilot testing and local raising awareness campaigns will integrate. - Co-designing an operational framework and a scalable collective awareness platform engaging existing communities of parents - Pilot the platform in 7 cities - Evaluate the impact of the adopted techno-social solution and the user engagement strategy -Develop a scalable and replicable model for an affordable childcare scheme based on the Families Share Platform that will ensure sustainability and further exploitation in other EU cities.

VegWaMus CirCrop aim to develop commercial mushroom and vegetable production in an integrated food to waste to food biosystem. The project objective is on closing loop between biogas production based on food wastes and reuse of output after anaerobic digestion (AD). Mushroom and plant crop cultivation is usually performed through energy- and resource-intensive process (based on fossil or mineral resources), which generate wastes and the high CO2 footprint. Main emphasis has been on plant crops, but integrated mushroom cultivation has been found to be highly interesting from botCircular approach in which organic wastes are utilized for both energy (renewable biogas) and crop production in a closed system. Foodwaste treated in anaerobic digestion (AD) can be considered as a multicomponent organic fertiliser and byproduct for plant and mushroom cultivation substrate. Sustainable horticulture should reuse organic waste. The objectives of project will be achieved by indicating mushroom species which will be grown commercially on substrate based on digestate and vegetable plant grown rousing spent mushroom substrate (after cultivation). Combined cultivation will be incorporated in sustainable greenhouse environment in food to waste to food biosystem based on crop and substrate circulation. Lindum and associated partners have for several years developed more circular approach in which organic wastes are utilized for both energy(renewable biogas) and crops production in a closed system. Launched in 2016, Grønt Skifte AS, will realize a large R&D greenhouse unit located next to a new large anaerobic digestion (AD) plant. The unit will investigate and demonstrate full utilization of output CO2, heat and organic residue (digestate) from the AD. The large international interest towards the activities of Grønt Skifte is related to project’s potential for helping governments and communities meeting the Paris Agreement. This is the circular and future way of food production.

SURGIS aims at creating a completely new computer-assisted, integrated system to support Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). It is based on a robotics X-ray 2D/3D imaging system. SURGIS is innovative and disruptive in two ways: a) the envisaged product itself: a novel solution that integrates formerly isolated systems providing enhanced and new functionalities, higher accuracy and significantly improved usability. Experienced users are developing it for users. And b) with regard to its technological approach and the corresponding business model: an open source environment, which will provide the ground to nurture the commercial exploitation and further development of applications by 3rd parties. It represents a platform and an ecosystem where developers and users are encouraged and facilitated to boost both the economic and clinical effect of SURGIS itself. Once implemented SURGIS will deliver the following value propositions: 1.Robotic 5-axis C-Arm usable in 2D and 3D mode 2.Integrated Surgical navigation system with automatic continuous calibration 3.Calibrated MIS surgical tools 4)Open software platform for the development of third-part applications A laboratory technology demonstration platform has been built and a preliminary study of existing IP has not discovered significant hurdles: we have strong reasons to believe that the final outcome will be successful despite the challenging goal. The feasibility study of Surgis will be performed along 5 main points: 1.Interviews with 10-20 international leading surgeons(Europe/USA) to assess clinical/technical potential of project and get suggestions for improvement; 2. Assessment of the technical and contractual framework for implementing the open platform and allowing the integration of third-party application. 3.Study to evaluate the market (volume and revenue) of 3D X-Ray surgical navigation devices 4.Study to explore existing IP rights to evaluate patentable features of SURGIS 5.Consolidate all the above in a business

Brain metastases, particularly from breast cancer, are a significant clinical problem. About one fifth of breast cancer patients that develop metastatic disease will experience brain metastases. Survival is extremely poor, with a median survival of approximately three months. One of the main issues with treating brain metastases is the late stage at which the majority of brain metastases are diagnosed and the ineffectiveness of available therapies as a consequence. At this late point, it is often too late for standard therapies to have a meaningful effect on the progression of the tumours. In recent years, the role of the immune system in the progression of systemic metastases has been described, with circulating monocytes being found to play a significant role. However, little is known about the pathogenesis of metastases within the brain. The brain possesses a very different environment to the rest of the body, with the blood brain barrier (BBB) tightly regulating the movement of nutrients, drugs and cells into the brain. Consequently, the processes that modeluate metastasis progression in other organs, such as lung and liver, may not be reflected within the brain owing to its unique environment. The overall goal of this fellowship, therefore, will be to determine the role of circulating monocytes in the development of brain metastases from breast cancer with the aim of identifying potential therapeutic routes. We believe that circulating monocytes may play a significant role in the development and progression of brain metastases as a separate, distinct population from the resident macrophage population (microglia) within the brain. We hypothesize that there is significant circulating monocyte infiltration into brain metastases, which is associated with increased BBB breakdown and disease progression. On this basis, we propose that inhibiting these circulating monocytes will significantly reduce both initiation and progression of brain metastasis.

How did the current biodiversity emerge? How does a single fertilised egg develop into a functioning organism? Which factors govern the spread of a pathogen during an epidemic? The answers to these questions depend on the underlying population dynamic processes, i.e. the replication and change of individuals. I will establish fundamental rules of population dynamic processes within the project PhyCogy. I hypothesize that applying statistical tools to phylogenetic trees uncovers these fundamental rules. Such statistical phylodynamic inference is possible since trees display replication events together with the genotypes and phenotypes of individuals. However, the phylodynamic technique has only been widely applied in the disciplines of macroevolution and epidemiology. In Part I of the PhyCogy project, I will lay generalizable mathematical, statistical, and computational foundations for phylodynamics. In particular, I will formulate, explore, and apply novel phylodynamic models that are appropriate for neutral as well as selective or developmental processes. I will then investigate whether the newly proposed phylodynamic models allow us to reconcile competing theories within macroevolution and real-time epidemiology. In Part II, the proposed phylodynamic models are then used to investigate the development of multicellular organisms. I will quantify brain development based on human stem-cell derived organoids as well as zebrafish using single cell data obtained both via CRISPR-Cas9-based lineage tracing and transcriptome sequencing. The project PhyCogy establishes a phylodynamic foundation, quantifying core population dynamic processes in macroevolution, epidemiology, and development. Importantly, the generalizability of the framework allows for future application across biological scales, leading to the rules of population dynamic processes in disciplines as diverse as microbiology, virology, ecology, immunology, or cancer.

The gearbox is a mechanical method of transferring energy from one device to another and used to increase torque while reducing speed. In some sectors, e.g. pharmaceutical and food & beverage, sensitive and sterile environment conditions apply, as such gearboxes used must comply with very strict sanitary rules. Currently, state-of-the-art gearbox systems work with lubrification to reduce friction, wear & transfer heat to avoid local high temperature areas. Yet, proper lubrification is associated with high costs of labour, downtime, maintenance, disposal and purchase, as well as high risk of atmosphere/product contamination. The latter being extremely damaging in sterile and controlled environment (e.g. pharmaceutical product manufacture). To address these challenges, We, Poggi Trasmissioni Meccaniche, a top EU leader in manufacturing transmission system, has developed P-Gear: our new range of innovative transmission, 100% clean, silent and virtually maintenance-free. It consists of two rotors – the driven one and the driving one – both elements being equipped with a permanent magnet. Thanks to our specific distribution of the magnets, it is possible to obtain speed transmission and speed decrease without contact between the rotors, thus eliminating the need for lubrication. Adaptable in all power transmissions applications by replacing traditional “contact” systems, our technology is set to revolutionize the world of mechanical gear drives. The targeted field is promising: the global industrial gearbox market is expected to grow from €23.6 billion in 2017 to €38.8 billion by 2026, at a 5.9% CAGR. Focusing on the stringent pharmaceutical and food & beverage market niches, using P-Gear will ensure safety by eliminating the lubricant, while providing also a higher efficiency and low wear & tear due to the reduced heat generated. Within 5 years of P-Gear exploitation, we expect to reach revenues of €15M while creating 16 new jobs.

With the CoRoT & Kepler data analysed, the time is optimal to move from observational asteroseismology to innovative stellar modelling of the steal factories of the Universe. With MAMSIE, we follow the footsteps of helioseismologists some 30 years after them, but this time we shall be developing inversion methods for stellar structure based on gravity-mode oscillations that probe the deep stellar interior. MAMSIE will lead to new models for a variety of single and binary stars with masses between 3 and 30 M⊙ whose space photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy reveal sufficient seismic information on their gravity modes to invert the frequencies and compute the stars’ structure. In contrast to the conventional theoretical approach to stellar evolution, the data-driven approach of MAMSIE will allow us to include angular momentum transport due to internal gravity waves, as well as mixing prescriptions for turbulent entrainment, from coupling of the output of 3D hydrodynamical simulations of these phenomena to specialised seismic observables of relevance for massive stars. Our sample includes slow and fast rotators, with and without a magnetic field, with and without a stellar wind. The new models will be placed in an evolutionary context for optimal assessment of the evolution of internal rotation, angular momentum, and chemical mixing throughout stellar life of massive stars. The output of the stellar modelling will provide fundamentals for all topics in modern astrophysics that rely on massive star models. MAMSIE is overarching and will require a multidisciplinary team led by an expert in gravity-mode oscillations working in close collaboration with a 3D hydrodynamics expert; it will offer a highly competitive environment for PhD and postdoctoral research on the astrophysics of massive stars.
