ComMUnion enables productive and cost effective manufacturing of 3D metal/ Carbon Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRT) multi-material components. ComMUnion will develop a novel solution combining tape placement of CFRTs with controlled laser-assisted heating in a multi-stage robot solution. High-speed laser texturing and cleaning will overcome the limitations of current joining technology to provide greatest performance joints. ComMUnion will rely on a robot-based approach enabling on-line inspection for layer-to-layer self-adjustment of the process. Moreover, tools for multi-scale modelling, parametric offline programming, quality diagnosis and decision support will be developed under a cognitive approach to ensure interoperability and usability. ComMUnion will address the following key innovations: - Texturing and cleaning based on high speed laser scanning for surface condition. - High-speed spatially resolved control of surface temperature profile. - Multi-scale metal/CFRP modelling, self-adaptive process control, and quality diagnosis based on multimodal active imaging. ComMUnion approach will decrease by 30% the consumption of titanium and boron steel, (costly alloys requiring critical materials). Besides, reinforcement of textured metallic surfaces with CFRT tapes will increase mechanical performance of multi-material components over 30% without cost increase. Manufacturing of two pilot-cases for automotive and aeronautics will demonstrate the scalability of the joining process. It will be possible trough a consortium with a strong involvement of industrial partners (73% of which 55% are SMEs). The outline of the business plan ensures the exploitation of the project results. With a target market of 2.000 companies and a fair estimate of 2% market penetration (5 years after the commercialization start), ComMUnion will result in 40M€/year incomes.

What is good attention? Much public discussion about social media, public health, and political debates is focused on versions of this question. What deserves our attention and how we should regulate attention in the face of distraction occupies the debate. What is missing is a philosophical investigation of attention norms and a framework for thinking about them. This is what GOODATTENTION provides. While entire fields of philosophy investigate the normative assessment of other aspects of the mind, the normative structure of attention remains largely unstudied. In its ground-breaking and interdisciplinary approach GOODATTENTION connects the study of the nature and the causal role of attention in psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics with the philosophical fields of decision theory, epistemology, and ethics. It develops a unified foundation for the study of attention norms by using a novel conceptual framework based on priority structures that organize the mind. It aims, first, to understand how attention norms emerge within our individual psychology and in the social domain. And it aims, second, to evaluate attention norms by integrating them into normative philosophy. The project's hypothesis is that the fundamental norms of attention concern relevance. GOODATTENTION investigates the biological function of relevance processing and the role of social relevance for how attention is guided by social norms. Building on this investigation, GOODATTENTION considers the role of attention norms for relevance in decision making, and in epistemic and ethical considerations. GOODATTENTION will impact these philosophical fields by showing how they can integrate norms of attention. It unifies research in evolutionary biology, cognitive and social psychology, linguistics, economics, and political theory. Its investigation of the epistemic role of attention and ethical rights and duties regarding attention will provide an analytical framework as input for policy making.

COST-ATP pretends to establish the role of intravesicular ATP in excitatory and inhibitory synapses of the central nervous system (CNS). Although, several laboratories have characterized the crucial interaction between ATP and catecholamines to permit its large accumulation in secretory vesicles of chromaffin cells, this crucial mechanism has not been studied in synaptic vesicles where high concentrations of neurotransmitters are needed for neuronal communication in the CNS. COST-ATP will combine the experience of the host laboratory in ATP as an accumulator of neurotransmitters in chromaffin cells and the TIRFM technology, and the ample experience of the researcher in cutting edge electrophysiological techniques in hippocampal neurons. The project will use electrophysiology, TIRFM, molecular biology and pharmacological tools to first discern the packagingbrole of vesicular ATP from its actions as neurotransmitter in central synapses using autaptic cultures of mouse hippocampal neurons. COST-ATP wants to explain why ATP is present inside of synaptic vesicles of almost all neurons. The main advantage of our approach is that we can modify the vesicular ATP by acting on the specific vesicular nucleotide carrier (VNUT) without affecting its cellular functions as the molecular energy. The consideration of the ATP, by its colligative properties, as a regulator of the neurotransmission, opens a new door in the neuronal communication. Given that its accumulation is mediated by VNUT a regulation of its activity could constitute a new pharmacological target for the treatment of neurological, psychiatric and cardiovascular diseases without involving membrane receptors.

GenALMA aims to offer novel perspectives and invaluable new data on kinship and the development of urban space by examining late medieval Genoa, one of the most socially vibrant cities during the foundational phase of contemporary Europe. It will investigate: 1) why and how aristocratic families chose to unite in a peculiar form of association which had long-lasting repercussions across the city’s social spectrum, eventually involving families and individuals of lesser social standing; 2) the impact of the construction of such solidarities and alliances, and the patrimonial strategies these entailed, on the reconfiguration of the city’s residential and architectural landscape. By tackling these two main questions, GenALMA will address issues related to the development of kinship structures and gender roles, the evolution of patrimonial rights, the networks of socialisation, and the changes in the urban fabric. Employing an innovative interdisciplinary methodology, the project will involve the management (through multiple databases) of large data sets collected from still unexplored and exceptional historical sources (notarial records of Genoa) which will be used to reconstruct kinship ties and to map out residential patterns thanks to cutting edge technology available at the host institution. The digital maps will represent an unprecedented attempt at charting the evolution of the urban fabric over the span of three centuries. The project will be conducted at the CNRS – Centre Roland Mousnier where the candidate will benefit from high level interdisciplinary training offered by the host institution, which will improve her skills in analysing historical data, and from the presence of several specialists with whom to discuss methodological and historiographical approaches. So as to reach the widest audience possible, the results of the project will be disseminated via conferences and workshops, a monograph, publications in high level scholarly journals, and a blog.

The OPTIMIST programme sets the ambitious aim to develop a modular end-to-end service platform tailored to the optimized delivery of personalised video content in 5G mobile networks, providing one of the first world-wide implementations of MEC-enabled service provisioning in 5G networks that is fully compatible with the emerging ETSI/3GPP reference architectures. To achieve this, the OPTIMIST service platform will design and implement different MEC services, which are currently studied in an isolated fashion in current literature, (e.g. edge network caching exploiting edge storage resources, video transcoding and data-driven content popularity prediction exploiting edge processing resources, optimized video content placement and delivery exploiting the new 5G radio capabilities), in the form of virtual network functions (VNFs) that are instantiated and optimized on-the-fly to construct a video service chain that is designed to meet the personalized requirements of 5G mobile video consumers. To formalize the integration of MEC capabilities into the operation of 5G mobile networks, the OPTIMIST service platform will be fully aligned with the existing and forthcoming standardization activities in the areas of MEC and 5G networks (ETSI MEC and 3GPP); thus, maximizing the impact of the project in the long-term both in terms of academic results (new methodological tools and algorithmic innovations) and market products (deliver specific products / services that will enhance the portfolio of industrial partners). To this end, OPTIMIST will leverage state-of-the-art (SotA) technologies in MEC-empowered service provisioning, data-driven service control and automation, QoE-driven dynamic adaptive video streaming over HTTP (DASH), GPS-free localization and machine learning (ML) for wireless communications.

The objective of the PANORAMIX project is the development of a multipurpose infrastructure for privacy-preserving communications based on "mix-networks" (mix-nets) and its integration into high-value applications that can be exploited by European businesses. Mix-nets protect not only the content of communications from third parties, but also obscure the exact identity of the senders or receivers of messages, through the use of cryptographic relays. Mix-nets are absolutely necessary for implementing strong privacy-preserving systems and protocols. This project directly aims to realize, integrate and demonstrate the use of a European infrastructure for mix-nets in the context of three diverse high-value applications that have clear, measurable, realistic, and achievable objectives. Our objectives are as follows. (Objective 1): Building a Mix-Net Infrastructure for Europe, by creating a European mix-network open-source codebase and infrastructure, (Objective 2): apply our infrastructure to private electronic voting protocols, where anonymity is necessary to guarantee ballot secrecy, and verifiability is needed for holding fair, transparent and trustworthy elections; (Objective 3): apply our infrastructure to privacy-aware cloud data-handling, in the context of privacy-friendly surveying, statistics and big data gathering protocols, where protecting the identity of the surveyed users is necessary to elicit truthful answers and incentivize participation; (Objective 4): apply our infrastructure to privacy-preserving messaging, where two or more users may communicate privately without third parties being able to track what is said or who-is-talking-to-whom. PANORAMIX facilitates a genuine collaboration between academia, civil society and industry bringing together a team of researchers from academia with a proven track record on privacy technologies and industry in domains where privacy technologies can have a very high impact.

The overall aim is to create the foundations for commercializing an automotive derivative fuel cell system in the 50 to 100 kW range, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in commercial and industrial buildings. More specifically, the project has the following objectives: • develop system components allowing reduced costs, increased durability and efficiency • build and validate a first 50 kW PEM prototype CHP system • create the required value chain from automotive manufacturers to stationary energy end-users Mass-market production of fuel cells will be a strong factor in reducing first costs. In this respect, joining the forces of two non-competing sectors (automotive and stationary) will bring benefits to both, to increase production volume and ultimately reduce costs to make fuel cells competitive. As a consequence, the project partners have identified a PEM fuel cell based CHP concept to address the stationary power market, primarily for commercial and industrial buildings requiring an installed capacity from about 50 kWe to some hundreds of kWe. The main components of the system have been validated to at least laboratory scale (TRL>4). As a part of the present AutoRE proposal, the overall system will be demonstrated and further validated to increase the technology readiness level to TRL5. In addition, innovative solutions will be demonstrated to continuously improve performance and reduce costs and complexity. The project consortium reflects the full value chain of the fuel cell CHP system which will enhance significantly the route to market for the system/technology. The proposal relates to FCH-02.5-2014: Innovative fuel cell systems at intermediate power range for distributed combined heat and power generation, and it addresses the main specific challenges and scope laid down in the FCH JU AWP2014 to “develop, manufacturing and validation of a new generation of fuel cell systems with properties that significantly improve competitiveness".

According to the European Commission, 70,000 people are hospitalized due to severe injuries caused by fire with an estimated damage of €126.3 billion every year. Highway tunnels are currently protected by passive fire systems such as fire-resistant construction materials that slow down the spread of a fire. However, this can be insufficient during major fires hence need for active fire protection systems. The analysis of fire incidents has indicated that fires in tunnels tend to be hotter with temperatures over 1,000oC, last longer even up to 53 hours making rescue operations and fire extinguishment more difficult. The Fire Protection System Market is growing at a fast pace, expected to grow from €44.36 billion in 2016 to €79.44 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 9.7%. PNR is an Italian company company with 50 years’ experience in the fire protection industry. PNR has developed Nozzle RRZ, a tunnel fire fighting nozzle that can produce a high capacity jet at 130 litres per minute (lpm) with a 6 meters spray coverage operating at normal installation level. Nozzle RRZ will reduce energy consumption in fire fighting in tunnels by ≈1620%, from 1755MJ to 102MJ; reduce operating pressure by ≈3100%, from current 60 -160bars to 2-5 bars; improve water economy and fire delay due to wide drop size range of 50 – 500microns and larger spray area cover. Through this PH1 we seek to validate the technical, commercial and financial feasibility of Nozzle RRZ. Post validation of the project feasibility we will move on to the PH2 through which we seek to finalise the technical developments of Nozzle RRZ, conduct demonstration and validations tests to prompt industry adoption and initiate commercial adoption by players in highway tunnels and rail tunnels. Making use of a PH2 budget of €1.5m and post project investment of €0.5m to bring Nozzle RRZ to market we will boost our turnover and generate €34.44m in our first five years of commercialisation and create 24 new jobs at PNR Italy.
