Modern computing devices execute complex software to provide every-day services and applications. The development of such software is challenging, time consuming and costly. It involves writing a program code, testing it and debugging it, namely finding an error in the code and correcting it. It is estimated that debugging costs an estimated 312 billion USD a year. The most successful commercial debugging tools are reversible debuggers. They allow the users to undo an execution of a faulty program, to find and correct errors, and then to run the corrected code forwards again. UndoDB by Undo Software is the top reversible debugger currently on the market. However, even the best reversible debuggers are not suited very well to debugging of concurrent programs. Moreover, it is not universally agreed yet how to reverse the code of concurrent or distributed software. This project aims at addressing these shortcomings by exploiting the promising notion of causally-consistent reversibility as the basis for reversible debugging tools. Novel formal models and new techniques for recording, analysis and replay of concurrent programs will be created. An execution engine for the shared-memory and message-passing styles of programs will be developed in a close collaboration with Undo Software and Erlang Solutions, the leading software companies. The scientific outcomes will be turned into an experimental prototype software, called Reversible CAusally-consistent DEbugger (RCADE), which will extend and enhance commercial debugging tools, especially for concurrency. The Fellow will undertake a world-class programme of research, industrial and academic training and collaboration. He will obtain formal lecturer qualification and deliver an undergraduate module. The knowledge and experience gained on the fellowship will be transferred to academia and industry in Europe. The project will develop his scientific independence, create a new network and enforce a senior academic position.

Access to internet, and thus to information, is a basic human right that empowers individuals and communities to achieve their maximum capacity in promoting sustainable development and improving the quality of life. A European Commission study reveals a large gap between broadband internet speed between urban and rural areas due to the low economic profitability of investments for the telecom operator, which is increasingly becoming a knowledge divide. A promising solution to close the gap is to devise high data rate extensions to the 5G LTE technology to provide fixed wireless broadband access in rural areas. The key challenge in accomplishing the required ten-fold (10X) improvement in data rates while maintaining a low power consumption of the home outdoor modem is the design of high-performance transceiver circuits. As conventional design methodologies proves insufficient, we propose a ground-breaking paradigm shift in the implementation of analog/mixed-mode signal processing circuits to fully exploit the benefits offered by highly miniaturized nanometer-scale semiconductor technologies. The SMArT project has the following aims aligned with the aforementioned goal: (i) develop ground-breaking transceiver technologies for 5G and beyond, with immediate emphasis on energy-efficient 10Gb/s home outdoor modem to provide high-speed fixed wireless internet access to rural areas, and (ii) create a platform to train a new generation of innovative researchers through technology development to address the industrial demand for highly skilled researchers required to shape future communication systems. The active collaboration of academia and industry in training activities as well as in technology development will empower the early stage researchers with a unique mix of highly valued transferable research skills and application-focused industry perspective.

Worlwide, about 60 million people have some kind of difficulty in walking, which is related to some neurological disorder (stroke, dementia, neuromuscular diseases, etc). Roughly 40 million of affected correspond to elders and the % is higher in Europe. The remaining is the sum of physically disabled by cerebral palsy (14 million), neuromuscular diseases (4 million), spinal cord injury (paraplegia and quadriplegia, 3 million) and spina bifida (3 million). Neurological disorders affect the lower motor of the nervous system and share the progressive muscle weakness, which lead to several walk disability, loss of autonomy and psychosocial consequences. Most therapeutic treatments are limited to medicines and musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs, which are very expensive and limited to 15-30 min/week rehabilitation sessions. Active lifestyle is the most effective measure to restore the physical conditions. But the loss of muscle strength impedes the ambulatory function. The need is for a device allowing them walking effortlessly and safely in the everyday life activities. Based on our ARES technology, -the minimal functional unit providing synchronized joints-muscles mobility- Marsi Bionics has developed powered orthoses for in-house rehabilitation of patients affected by muscle weakness disorders, showing a product portfolio that covers the needs of a wide range of Neurological Disorders. Marsi products will be commercialized under renting models allowing patients acquiring it for daily use. This technology will improve these patients life quality and enlarge life expectancy by avoiding critical health complications of losing walking ability. Marsi is strengthened by joining with a leading company in the current industrial market, ESCRIBANO. This alliance in the frame of SME Phase 2 will speed up industrialization, overcome the certification barrier and minimize the time to market. As a result, we expect to reach above 36M€ turnover in 2023 and 81 generated jobs.

Should the movement of people across borders be restricted? Should it be permitted? Should it be promoted? These questions are ubiquitous in daily discourse in our societies, politics and academia, and became subject of an increasing amount of policies regulating movement during the present COVID-19 health crisis. JUSMOVE is a pioneering philosophical project on human movement attempting to answer these fundamental questions, suggesting that a comprehensive study on human movement is highly significant for how we will answer. What is the value of movement for a contemporary person? And according to which conception of just movement should movement be restricted, protected or promoted? JUSMOVE will establish the grounds for a Just Theory of Movement that overcomes the underlined dichotomous view opposing ‘closed’ to ‘open’ borders and, in turn, societal trends, which presently contributes to the highly polarized debate on migration and mobility. JUSMOVE’s potential impact is fourfold: first, it contributes to the scholarly debate with a novel theory; secondly it proposes an experimental methodology, by combining tools from rigorous ethics and philosophy with potent big data, which lays the grounds for novel cross-disciplinary cooperation; thirdly, it informs the debate of the main stakeholders and decision-makers, such as the European Commission (EC); while also lastly aiming at influencing public debates. JUSMOVE aims to propose a paradigmatic conceptual twist to nearly thirty years of contemporary philosophical debate around migration and states borders, with substantial implications for existing views and for policy making.

SafeClouds is a research project supported by EASA and powered by a full spectrum of aviation stakeholders (Airlines, Airports, ANSPs, Eurocontrol, Research Entities, Safety Agencies) that develops cutting-edge technologies for aviation safety assurance in a cost-effective manner. SafeClouds proposes a data-driven approach to achieve a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the system, where risks are pro-actively identified and mitigated in a continuous effort to enhance the already excellent European aviation safety records. SafeClouds develops an innovative aviation safety data analysis approach. Currently each stakeholder owns different isolated datasets and data-sharing paradigms are rare. However, the combination of those datasets is critical in discovering unknown safety hazards and in understanding and defining a performance-based system safety concept. The new data-driven paradigm, capable of extracting safety intelligence in a fast, connected and inexpensive way requires the collaboration of aviation and IT entities sharing their raw datasets, tools, techniques and information. SafeClouds high level objectives are: - To define a user-requirement driven approach for data mining in aviation safety, covering several current safety challenges within airlines and runway operations. - To develop novel data structures and safety intelligence representation. Given the complexity of the datasets, SafeClouds aims to solve their current challenges in data handling and knowledge discovery. - To develop the proof of concept and validate in a laboratory the safety data analysis paradigms, at different levels: historical analysis, predictive analytics, automatic safety data monitoring and unknown hazards identification. - To assemble a group of entities that encompasses the entire data-cycle for a unified, achievable vision for the future of safety analytics in Europe, including: users, data providers, data infrastructure researchers, operators and data scientists.

Quantum enhanced magnetometers (QEM) based on nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond provide nanoscale spatial resolution and single atom sensitivity that can achieve magneto-optical imaging, thermometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of individual molecules. These have implications in various areas of fundamental science, biomedicine and information storage. One goal of QSENS-NMR is to solve the main challenges which prevent diamond to integrate and scale up thousands of QEM's on a single chip. These consider: challenging diamond waveguide fabrication, incompatibility with the Complementary-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) industry, scalability and commercialisation limitation given by the expensive, time consuming material growth and wafer size of diamond. QSENS-NMR aims to solve these issues by utilising Silicon Vacancy (SiV) defects in 4H-Silicon carbide (4H-SiC) material. Thanks to wafer bonding pieces from 6 inch 4H-SiC and Silicon Dioxide on Silicon wafers, QSENS-NMR will demonstrate waveguide fabrication in a CMOS compatible manner where shallow SiV defects will be implanted using scalable Focus Ion Beam. In such configuration, light can be easily coupled to simultaneously excite multiple defects. Additional fabrication of gold contacts will demonstrate the first on chip spin control and photoelectrical spin readout (PDMR) of single colour centers in SiC. The second goal of QSENS-NMR is to utilise the opportunity to manipulate and measure spin states in order to demonstrate the first submiliHertz NMR spectroscopy with SiC colour centres. By integrating simple, microfluidic channels, multiple samples of water can be delivered to various spatial locations of the chip where high resolution NMR measurements will be achieved using the Quantum Homodyne technique. QSENS-NMR thus paves the way to one day possibly scale up to thousands of NMR sensors on a single chip which can be used as a scalable diagnostic tool for cancer or viral research.

This project aims at producing new understandings of the changes in people’s sensory environmental relationships in three European cities during a particular period in history, 1950–2020. It will offer a focused window on cultural transformations of the sensory by introducing a new transgenerational methodology, ethnographic “sensobiography”. Why now? Firstly, innovative and thoroughly researched information about sensory environmental relationships is in great demand. If the findings are successful, their challenge to several conventional dichotomies will provide results whose interdisciplinary impact extends beyond cultural, sound, and music studies to areas of psychology, human geography, environmental aesthetics, and media history and theory. The research is urgent: at present we are still able to study people ethnographically who were born in the 1930s and 1940s,who therefore lived their early years without digital technologies. The moment is also ideally suited for studying generations born straight into the digital world, where there is a need to enable young and older people to maintain a many-faceted relationship with their environments. The project's three research strands are (1) transformations in mediations of sensory experience, (2) embodied remembering and senses, and (3) sensory commons. These strands will be studied via a research strategy linking individuals and groups to broader social, cultural, and political issues in the medium-sized European cities of Brighton (UK), Ljubljana (Slovenia), and Turku (Finland). Temporally and spatially tightly focused dynamic ethnography makes it possible to examine multiple modes of past and present sensory experiencing. The study of artists as “sensewitnesses” will become one of the pivotal endeavours. The project facilitates a significant step from earlier methodologies toward large-scale, multisensory, transgenerational investigation, providing significant insights into culture with a sustainable future.

The aim of the project ‘MultiMind’ is to establish an international, multidisciplinary and multisectorial training network on multilingualism. Given the current migration and refugee crisis in Europe, there is an urgent need to provide an in depth investigation of multilingualism from a multidisciplinary perspective that will bridge the gap between fundamental and applied research and will addresses societal challenges within the education and health sector as well as challenges related to the education of migrants and refugees in Europe. MultiMind addresses the benefits and challenges of multilingualism through an innovative research programme that combines fundamental and applied research across disciplines in a range of different social and educational settings. It investigates the influence of multilingualism on language learning, cognition, creativity, and decision making, on brain function and structure, and its role as a reserve in atypical populations using a combination of cutting edge research methodologies. MultiMind is composed of 9 academic and 2 non-academic organisations as well as 16 partners in leading academic institutions, companies, health organisations and 5 branches of Bilingualism Matters, a leading international network of centres that provide outreach activities on multilingualism. The consortium brings together researchers with complementary expertise within the disciplines of linguistics, psychology, education, neuroscience, and speech & language therapy along with non-academic partners within the education and health sectors, IT and publishing. This will enable to address societal challenges within education and health as well as challenges related to the migration and refugee crisis in Europe whilst training a new generation of researchers in world-leading labs using cutting edge methodologies and allowing them to build the necessary skills fostering their career progress as independent researchers in academic or nonacademic sectors.
