The power dynamics and the effects of gender on social, spatial and political behaviour have regained major interest in public debates in the last years. If media (and new media) play an important role in relaying this debate, it does also in producing and reinforcing normative gendered practices. In response to the incapacity of mainstream media to induce effective change, video and digital artists explore the technological and political possibilities of digital media, video art and virtual reality to transform gendered norms affirmatively; that is creating alternative futures to the status quo rather than lamenting the current situation. Calling for a post-cinematic spectator, both individualised and participative, video and digital artists produce new genres and formats through which they express affirmative responses to gender and power. Building a bridge between film theory, new immersive media and social engagement, this research project will investigate how post-cinematic arts produce micropolitical instances of activism through narrative and aesthetic experiences.

Supramolecular chemistry offers a platform on which it is possible to engineer modular systems to gain further understanding of complex biological phenomena. The goal of this proposal is to bring supramolecular systems to a more advanced level of complexity by merging synthetic supramolecular structures with engineered proteins and oligonucleotides to generate hybrid supramolecular systems. A program based in five stages is described, where all the systems make use of the inherent dynamic nature of hybrid supramolecular wires to dictate control over protein functions. These architectures are based on disc-shaped molecules that self-assemble to form supramolecular wires, while maintaining the ability to exchange monomers after initial assembly. A covalent approach will be established in stage one, engineered proteins will be covalently attached to the discotic building blocks of the supramolecular wire. Their assembly along the supramolecular wire will induce protein activity, e.g. protease activation. In stage two, short oligonucleotides covalently attached to the discotic building blocks and to the proteins, will provide additional control over the final assembly. The topic of stage three is the recruitment of signalling proteins in a reversible manner by displaying short peptide binding motifs for specific protein binding domains. For stage four, supramolecular wires will exhibit small oligonucleotides that will bind reversibly to protein fusion-oligonucleotide hybrid constructs resulting in protein activation and signal transduction. A higher level of complexity will be explored in stage five, by decorating the supramolecular wires with a larger array of responsive peptide and DNA motifs. This work will contribute new concepts, tools, and materials for elucidation and modulation of biochemical pathways in cells and for bioanalyte detection in vitro, that will be of benefit to the biological community.

POSIDON gathers 5 European procurers facing similar problems in the sites they manage, affected by analogous pollutants (2 front-runners-Trieste, IT and Bilbao, ES-and 3 observers - Spaque, BE; Vitoria Gasteiz, ES; Baja do Tejo, PT), leveraging public demand to identify fit-for-purpose and cost-effective innovative and sustainable solutions to soil contamination. The common challenge faced by the buyers’ group is identifying a new, life-cycle cost-effective technology for soil and groundwater remediation, capable of decontaminating heterogeneous anthropic soils in brownfields with a mixture of industrial waste (blast furnace slags, construction & demolition waste, filling soils polluted by petroleum hydrocarbons) and soils consisting of clays and sands of marine origin, highly polluted by petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs and PAHs) and heavy metals (arsenic and lead). Studies on the state of the art, patent analysis, foresight scanning and early market engagement meetings, show that no available technology can meet all identified needs, thus appropriate remediation technologies cannot be acquired through traditional off-the-shelf procurement.With PCP, procurers aim to achieve ambitious improvements in terms of quality and effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of new technology to bring to the market. R&D will be split into three phases: solution design, prototyping, original development and testing of 2 prototypes. Evaluations after each phase progressively identify solutions offering the best value for money. This phased approach allows successful contractors to improve their offers for the next phase based on feedback from procurers. POSIDON intends to create a critical mass through the consolidation of a pan-European network of procurers who, sharing their needs and efforts, can enable the development - through PCP - and subsequent deployment - through a PPI - of novel technologies aimed to cover bigger market challenges in areas of common European interest

DNA methylation is essential for normal mammalian development. While seminal work has provided tremendous insight into the dynamic regulation of DNA methylation throughout embryogenesis, comprehensive understanding of how cell-specific methylation programs are established and maintained, and how they are involved in defining cell states in vivo through regulation of target genes, remains a formidable task. Revolutionary technologies now offer unprecedented opportunities for understanding the function of DNA methylation in specifying, memorizing and modulating embryonic programs. These powerful tools motivate further development of novel experimental systems, to integrate single-cell monitoring with flexible engineering of markers, reporters and perturbations. This will make it possible to precisely target key rare embryonic cell populations for in-depth analysis. Here, combining cutting-edge methods for single cell mapping of DNA methylation and gene expression, and by developing a novel approach for inferring spatial information from single cell genomic data, we propose to comprehensively chart the post-implantation embryo, at unprecedented resolution. To move to functional studies, we will implement our recently established reporter system that enables monitoring and isolation of cells based on endogenous locus-specific changes in DNA methylation. Together with site-specific methylation editing tools, mouse genetics, and in vitro differentiation of pluripotent stem cells, we will study the developmental potential of rare epiblast cells that we identified that exhibit lower-than-expected genome-wide methylation levels. We will further study the effects of cell-specific methylation changes at an imprinted control region on gene dosage by genetic and epigenetic perturbation, during mouse development. Our combined approach will open new avenues for elucidating the contribution of cell-specific DNA methylation changes to cell-state and function following implantation

The main idea of POROUS4APP project is based on the fabrication of functional nanoporous carbonaceous materials at pilot plant scale from natural resources (polysaccharide). The process for nanoporous carbon fabrication is already well known as one of the POROUS4APP partner has developed the STARBON® technology at TRL5 which consist of swelling, drying and pyrolysis of natural resources and in this case Starch. What POROUS4APP project will bring to the European community is the development of new metal/metal-oxide doped-nanoporous carbonaceous materials based on a known technology. This technology needs to be upscaled and modified to enable a full flexibility of the material characteristics to be applied to various industrial applications. The use of abundant renewable resources like starch has been proven to be a low cost and reliable raw material source for industrial production of carbonaceous materials having porosity in the nanometer range. In POROUS4APP it will be intended to produce not only carbonaceous nanoporous materials but carbonaceous material with enhanced functionality by using impregnation and sol/gel strategy. This will allow POROUS4APP materials to reach the challenging requirements of state of the art high added value materials at lower cost for applications in energy storage such as lithium-ion battery and also in chemical catalysis process. These applications need materials with well defined porosity to reach high efficiency level of their functional systems.

LOTER.CO2M aims to develop advanced, low-cost electro-catalysts and membranes for the direct electrochemical reduction of CO2 to methanol by low temperature CO2-H2O co-electrolysis. The materials will be developed using sustainable, non-toxic and non-critical raw materials. They will be scaled-up, integrated into a gas phase electrochemical reactor, and the process validated for technical and economic feasibility under industrially relevant conditions. The produced methanol can be used as a chemical feedstock or for effective chemical storage of renewable energy. The demonstration of the new materials at TRL5 level, and the potential of this technology for market penetration, will be assessed by achieving a target electrochemical performance > 50 A/g at 1.5 V/cell, a CO2 conversion rate > 60%, and a selectivity > 90% towards methanol production with an enthalpy efficiency for the process > 86%. A significant increase in durability under intermittent operation in combination with renewable power sources is also targeted in the project through several stabilization strategies to achieve a degradation rate of < 1%/1000 h at stack level. The developed low-temperature CO2 conversion reactor will offer fast response (frequency > 2-5 Hz) to electrical current fluctuations typical of intermittent power sources and a wide operating range in terms of input power, i.e. from 10% to full power in less than a second. Such aspects are indicative of an excellent dynamic behaviour as necessary to operate with renewable power sources. A life cycle assessment of the CO2 electrolysis system, which will compile information at different levels from materials up to the CO2 electrolysis system including processing resources, will complete the assessment of this technology for large-scale application. Field testing of the co-electrolysis system in an industrial relevant environment will enable to evaluate the commercial competitiveness and the development of a forward exploitation plan.

Our waste water consists of many dissolved and undissolved substances from industrial, commercial and domestic waste water. This results in a special environmental problem within the sewer: hydrogen sulphide (H2S). The effects of H2S are drastic. Economically very high infrastructure costs arise in our sewage system resulting from sulphuric acid corrosion (investment needs Europe > 250 bn €). Ecologically it is proven that an increasing bulking sludge formation results which is fatal for the microbiology in a sewage plant. In order to eliminate H2S, high amounts of chemicals are currently pumped through the European sewage system. But the use of chemicals could be drastically reduced when measures would be taken already at the point of origin in the waste water collection point, which prevent the H2S formation selectively. For this purpose, a measurement procedure is necessary that can register on-site and online the H2S concentration. We, the ECH, have successfully managed to develop a new measurement method that is solving this problem. Objective of the SME Phase 1 is a feasibility study for an H2S analyzing device (TRL 6). Target customers are municipal and private companies of the waste water industry, industrial sewage treatment plants, contract laboratories (market volume 200-500 m €). The advantages of the H2S-Analyzer are: Technology: - Measurement of smallest H2S incidences from 0,01 ppm - Fast measurements (<10 min) - automatized online measurement Ecologically: - Proofed reduction of chemicals use for the treatment of H2S at least 40-50% Economically: - Reduction of expenditures for replacement investments in the waste water infrastructure - Cost savings of at least 40 % due to the low use of chemicals The H2S-Analyzer is as a key factor of the ECH and will lead to significant increases in the company´s turnover, increase of employees and in the long-term to a lower use of chemicals in the sewer industry. H2S-Analyzer – Good for you and the environment!

One of the main socioeconomics challenges to be faced in the next decades will be the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) due to population ageing. Today, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of such illness is complex, a laborious process completed by a limited set of Neurologist experts who need to manually process and compare images from multiple Brain medical imaging systems (MRI, PET and SPECT). While early detection is the key to reduce costs and impact of the diseases, they are routinely under-diagnosed by up to 60-80% in the very early stages. One of the main weaknesses of the diagnostic process is the physician’s visual assessment due to the current subjective interpretation of complex images. Qubiotech was created in 2014, with a mission to radically speed-up and improve brain diseases diagnostic work flow. Spun off from the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela and based on a novel algorithm for fast composite multimodal and quantitative analysis of medical images. We have a product that can forge a new way to do things. Rapidly increasing diagnosis speeds whilst lowering costs, our aim is to overhaul patient treatment in this critical sector. We now want to finalise the feasibility assessment for our entire product roadmap whilst confirming that we have everything in place to achieve the detected opportunity. Aside from helping to alleviate the incoming ageing societal challenge, we aim to plant our company as the European leader of a new sector and drive revenues of 15.5M€ by 2022.
