Augmented reality (AR) is set to revolutionize the healthcare sector, especially for medical imaging technology for application in surgeries, radiologic diagnostics and medical practice. However, at the very state-of-the-art, the challenge is to derive a practical near-eye display for AR glasses. The current AR devices cause eye strain, fatigue and sickness due to the ‘vergence–accommodation (VA) conflict’ and are not suited for near-work (crucial for healthcare application) due to focal rivalry of stereoscopic 3D image and the real world. These adverse effects have constrained more rapid expansion of VR/AR 3D display market in spite of huge demand. NGEAR is a state-of-the-art multi-focal accommodating AR headset that eliminates all adverse effects of existing headsets and outputs holographic look 3D images. It completely solves current pains of near-work application with VA conflict for true application of AR in the healthcare sector. The NGEAR3D is compact, lightweight and wearable around the head and fits comfortably to both eyes (binocular vision). It is ideal for healthcare professionals who require 3D glasses for near eye imaging and can be safely used for long hours without discomfort to eyes and mind. The core technology of NGEAR3D is the proprietary liquid-crystal optical switcher elements, that can be electronically switched between transparent and optically diffusive state in <500 microseconds. Several optical diffuser elements are stacked to form a discrete volume - volumetric 3D display. This static volumetric technology provides real 3D volumetric holographic imagery, thus matching it perfectly to the real world. When applied for healthcare applications, it improves efficiency of surgeon & reduces time required, risks and medical complications of operations leading to more patients receiving treatment sooner. NGEAR3D will be a disrupting link for the image guided surgery to really take-off and benefit patients and medical patient & medical personnel.

The 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) builds on the Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm, as it relies upon the scenario of having billions of interconnected autonomous mobile devices, with unprecedented processing power, storage capacity and access to knowledge. While enabling such massive deployment, the 4IR should be increasingly eco-friendly. The 4IR is a disrupting approach that will force companies in almost every domain to re-organize themselves in a more efficient way, by exploiting technological breakthroughs such us artificial intelligence , wireless communication and quantum computing. The integration of these emerging technologies into every day life requires efficient power supply solutions in computing, sensing, memory enlargement and human-machine interaction. One perceived bottleneck for 4IR is that in most situations, IoT devices/networks will be remotely deployed, so that maintenance may be either incovenient or impossible. In particular, this implies that IoT devices either have to embed energy sources consistent with their operative lifespan or that clean and renewable energy convertors, if working off-grid, must sit on board. The significant broadening of the wireless communication spectrum in Europe makes the Radio frequency (RF) energy scavenging a highly desirable way forward for clean powering of the next-generation IoT.NANO-EH has the ambitious vision of creating a pathway for translating forefront knowledge of unique high frequency properties of emerging classes of nanomaterials into advanced device engineering for scalable miniaturized energy harvesting/storage submodules that are tailored for the specific needs of stand-alone, mobile or portable uses. It surpasses the current paradigm of energy harvesting materials by developing non-toxic and rare earth/lead-free materials exhibiting CMOS-compatibility and scalability for low cost and large-scale manufacturing.

One third of the burden of all the diseases in Europe is due to problems caused by diseases affecting brain. Although exceptional progress has been obtained for exploring it during the past decades, the brain is still terra-incognita and calls for specic research efforts to better understand its architecture and functioning. CoBCoM is our response to this great challenge of modern science with the overall goal to develop a joint Dynamical Structural-Functional Brain Connectivity Network (DSF-BCN) solidly grounded on advanced and integrated methods for diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) and Electro & Magneto-Encephalography (EEG & MEG). To take up this grand challenge and achieve new frontiers for brain connectivity mapping, we will develop a new generation of computational models and methods for identifying and characterizing the structural and functional connectivities that will be at the heart of the DSF-BCN. Our strategy is to break with the tradition to incrementally and separately contributing to structure or function and develop a global approach involving strong interactions between structural and functional connectivities. To solve the limited view of the brain provided just by one imaging modality, our models will be developed under a rigorous computational framework integrating complementary non invasive imaging modalities: dMRI, EEG and MEG. CoBCoM will push far forward the state-of-the-art in these modalities, developing innovative models and ground-breaking processing tools to provide in-fine a joint DSF-BCN solidly grounded on a detailed mapping of the brain connectivity, both in space and time. Capitalizing on the strengths of dMRI, MEG & EEG methodologies and building on the bio- physical and mathematical foundations of our new generation of computational models, CoBCoM will be applied to high-impact diseases, and its ground-breaking computational nature and added clinical value will open new perspectives in neuroimaging.

GateOne’s mission is to accelerate smart systems adoption by European SMEs in facilitating their access to advanced technologies for the development of innovative and smart solutions. GateOne offers Innovation as a Service to the benefit of SMEs in structuring a complete and adapted innovation chain to contribute to the Smartization of Europe. The concept is based on an innovative and pragmatic approach to cross the valley of death. Our Innovation Action is designed to enter efficiently into a new management paradigm in implementing critical size mechanisms. We will work on a unique Pan European portfolio of smart systems technologies to make them attractive and available for evaluation by a large panel of European SMEs. 20% of the portfolio will be related to bioelectronics technologies. In implementing the New Product Introduction process, our service will provide a collaboration framework between SMEs and RTOs, to progress from Lab to Market. From a complementary smart systems technologies portfolio we will work on 50 small scale projects to deliver innovation concept in the form of demonstrators. They will be produced at the only condition that an SME expresses interest and engages to enter into a testing phase. Our innovation service will allow low risk evaluation conditions. We will introduce “product concept” designed on a business case to meet SMEs expectations. We will structure, an adapted innovation chain, while validating the cost efficient manufacturability of the solution. A broad diffusion will make GateOne a European entry point of state-of-the-art technology for smart systems. Inherited from COWIN CSA success and commitment of RTOs to further apply and develop the COWIN approach, GateOne will lead to a major breakthrough for European competitiveness in engaging SMEs in the smartization wave. The support of the European Commission will validate the concept and prepare its sustainability with RTOs, industrials and private investors support.

Innovation has been placed at the heart of the Europe 2020 strategy aimed at facing major structural changes, the increase of global competition and the current crisis, and to tackle major societal challenges such as climate change, energy and resource scarcity, health and ageing. The Innovation Union has the main objective to strengthen the European innovative potential, and sets 13 general objectives and 34 specific (policy) commitments associated to the objectives, and aimed at stimulating innovation. The objective of this project is to deliver a system of assessment for the commitments. The approach starts from the evaluation of the state of achievement of the individual commitments, but puts crucial emphasis on their effects in the innovation system as a whole, as well as on the economy-wide effects of innovation. The basic idea is to retrace the entire chain of effects of the commitments, from their implementation to their final impact in terms of competitiveness, growth or employment. The specific tasks that project sets out to undertake to achieve this are: 1) Data collection and identification of mechanisms; 2) Developing theoretical and econometric models in order to estimate the impact of the commitments; 3) Developing a conceptual model of the innovation system, leading to a reference tool on which the impact analysis of the commitments individually and as a whole will be based, and which will also play a role of interface between the assessments of the commitments impact and the macro sectoral econometric work. 4) A quantitative analysis of the commitments by use of the NEMESIS model, which is an existing macro-structural econometric model, but which will be modified and extended for the tasks at hand; 5) An ex-ante and ex-post policy assessment of the economic effects of the Innovation Union at European, national and regional levels; 6) To present policy conclusions and recommendations on the validation or the efficiency of the policies implemented.

The omnipresence of filamentary structures inside nearby molecular clouds observed by the Herschel space observatory challenges our comprehension of the star formation process. We now know that most of the cold dense cores appear to form within those filaments, which suggest a possible link between the characterisation of the filamentary structure of molecular clouds and the core mass function (CMF). Physical processes such as turbulence, gravitational fragmentation and the influence of magnetic field transform the interstellar medium and leave characteristic signatures within the shape of structures. In order to understand the physical processes leading to the formation of filaments and cores in molecular clouds and later to the formation of stars, many statistical tools have been developed to characterise such signatures. Among them there are the probability distribution function (PDF), which form the foundation of many modern theories of star formation, and the power spectrum analysis, which started with the pioneer work of Andrey Kolmogorov and remains our best tool today to analyse and characterise the turbulence. Usually measured independently, I propose in this project to unify both analysis through a multi-scale analysis approach of nearby molecular clouds. In the recent years, I developed wavelet based analysing techniques allowing me to separate the different statistical signatures of physical processes involved in filaments and cores formation. Furthermore, part of these techniques also imply the analysis of linear polarisation allowing a unique multi-scale description of the interstellar magnetic field. The aim of this project is to build a global and coherent picture, based on observations, of how cloud structures and magnetic fields have an impact on the formation of dense cores.

Smart Mature Resilience (SMR) will develop and validate Resilience Management Guidelines, using three pilot projects covering different CI security sectors, as well as climate change and social dynamics. The Resilience Management Guidelines will provide a robust shield against man-made and natural hazards, enabling society to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of essential structures and functions. A set of tools operationalize crucial interdependent supporting structures of the Resilience Management Guidelines: 1) a Resilience Maturity Model defining the trajectory of an entity through measurable resilience levels; 2) a Systemic Risk Assessment Questionnaire that, beyond assessing the entity’s risk, determines its resilience maturity level; 3) a portfolio of Resilience Building Policies that enable the entity’s progression towards higher maturity levels; 4) a System Dynamics Model allowing to diagnose, monitor and explore the entity’s resilience trajectory as determined by resilience building policies, and, 5) a Resilience Engagement and Communication Tool to integrate the wider public in community resilience, including public-private cooperation. Beyond delivering the validated Resilience Management Guidelines and the five supporting tools, the SMR project establishes a European Resilience Backbone consisting of vertebrae (adopters, from fully committed through direct project participation to alerted potential adopters). The SMR project’s powerful impact maximizing measures will assist the implementation of the Resilience Management Guidelines by consolidating the resilience vertebrae as mutually supporting functional units of the European Resilience Backbone. The five tools operationalizing the five crucial interdependent supporting structures of the Resilience Management Guidelines will be commercialized, targeting users in Europe and beyond
