Current steady-state energy labels have several shortcomings, but the inherent inability to accurately reflect dynamic and changing conditions is the most impactful one. Steady-state labels result in high discrepancies with post occupancy behaviour - performance gap. This inaccuracy does not allow the building owner to make informed decisions on time, and restricts the potential of economical exploitation of the building. E-DYCE will combine innovative approaches with established and widely available tools to create a methodology capable of implementing scalable and adaptable dynamic energy performance certification (DEPC): - Create a technology neutral methodology for dynamic labelling based on maximizing the free running potential of the building and promoting the use of passive and low cost solutions (e.g. ventilative cooling) instead of constant reliance on mechanical systems. - Communicate clear actions to the user, as well as their positive effects on the energy consumption to motivate and improve energy behavior. - Validate the methodology through implementing DEPC in 39 buildings across 5 locations in 4 countries for a total of 60,000m2 heated area. - Generate energy savings of 1.8 GWh/year, from the first year and aiming to exceed 370GWh and 50million euros in savings by 2028, accounting only for the areas participating in the project. - Strengthen collaboration between energy experts, authorities and building owners to share the benefits of reliable dynamic certification. - Adapt to any level of building typology, climate, smartness and scale through dynamic simulation of performance utilizing resolutions from real time, to minutes, hours or days: from traditional buildings to smart-homes. E-DYCE will be compatible to existing and emerging EPC methods, or can function as a stand-alone DEPC labelling process. The process will not require investment for the user, instead depending on sharing the savings for revenue streams.

This proposal specifically addresses the topic MG.9.6-2014. Strengthening the research and innovation strategies of the transport industries in Europe. The aim of SETRIS is to deliver a cohesive and coordinated approach to research and innovation strategies for all transport modes in Europe. To fulfil the aim of SETRIS, the following objectives are envisaged: 1. To identify synergies between the transport European Technology Platforms (ETPs) strategic and research and innovation agendas (SRIAs) and between these and relevant national platforms; 2. To review and update the existing SRIAs for each of the transport ETPs within a multi-modal and integrated transport system framework; 3. To benchmark past and present research initiatives affecting the achievement of integrated transport SRIAs and market uptake; 4. To define comprehensive, credible and realistic implementation plans for each SRIAs in a coordinated framework of running ETPs; 5. To support, shape and contribute to future TRA events. Objectives 1-4 lead to two integrated agendas highlighting not only innovations or research activities that need to be done but also the changes in governance that are required to facilitate these Agendas. These objectives will be implemented through the involvement, for the first time, of representatives of all relevant transport modes and European Technology Platforms within one single collaborative initiative. The ETPs will develop a framework for long-term cooperation between actors from all transport modes that will support the cohesive and coordinated approaches to research and innovation strategies that will facilitate the delivery of a truly integrated transport system. The potential impact of SETRIS for the transport sector is extremely significant and the successful outcome of SETRIS is essential for Europe’s transport future. SETRIS will impact by defining comprehensive, credible and realistic implementation plans for joint SRIAs in a coordinated framework of running ETPs. This is a leap forward is cooperation between the ETPs and has been fully supported by the ETPs.

Nowadays computers are used to process huge amounts of information, for example a major search engine processes tens of thousands of searches per second. Still the future of the information age is at risk. Computer architectures will not be resilient enough for the next information challenges. It is not only a matter of word size or clock cycles. New DNA sequencing technologies are evolving much faster than Moore's law, this means that they are evolving faster than the amount of transistors that go into CPUs and GPUs. Moreover computer disks are, by far, the slowest part of the architecture and are evolving even slower, therefore widening the relative time that information takes to reach the processor. Processing the amount of information, that will make personalized medicine a reality, requires a new approach. A new class of data structures has recently been developed to address the new challenges in storing, processing, indexing, searching and navigating biological data. Similar tasks have been also tackled by researchers in the information retrieval community: such as designing algorithms for sequence analysis, networks representation or compressing and indexing repetitive data. Synergies of researchers from both fields can lead to new efficient approaches to improve the technology used for analysis of genome-scale data. The overall goal of BIRDS is to establish a long term international network involving leading researchers in bioinformatics and information retrieval from four different continents, to strengthen the partnership through the exchange of knowledge and expertise, and to develop integrated approaches to improve current approaches in both fields. It will be implemented through staff exchanges, in addition to summer schools, workshops and conferences to facilitate knowledge sharing between members of the partnership. We will also bring research results to market, thanks to cooperation with an innovative SME software development company based in Europe.

Walking requires interactions among a central unit (motor system), actuators (musculoskeletal system) and real-time feedback (sensory system). When a brain lesion occurred, such as in cerebral palsy (CP), this is reflected to these systems. With this proposal, I aim to understand how the impaired system interaction affect walk ability. CP is the most predominant childhood disability. This disability is generally defined mainly as motor impairment, but it is known to be associated with somatosensory disorders. The sensory system is composed by sensation and perception. Here the perception will be assessed as cortical proprioceptive processing using MEG. The motor system will be analysed at the spinal level and in terms of resistance to passive ankle movement (neural and non-neural components of spasticity), whilst the lower limb musculoskeletal properties are quantified as morphology, stiffness and composition. I will focus on three objectives: (1) to unveil the interaction between spasticity and cortical proprioceptive processing, (2) to establish methodologies for extracting lower limb musculoskeletal properties and associate them with gait ability; (3) to understand whether is possible to delineate a statistical model that describes how altered motor, musculoskeletal and sensory systems at the ankle joint level affect gait ability. I will quantitatively analyse CP as sensorimotor disorder, thus opening new scientific and clinical frontiers. To successfully perform this project, I established a cooperation between myself and experts in musculoskeletal (my supervisor Prof. Taija Finni) and sensorimotor (Assoc.Prof. Harri Piitulainen) systems at the host institution. Their knowledge, their research teams and the facilities available will allow me to perform the planned study. Moreover, I will exploit the collaboration with KTH Stockholm during my secondment for comprehensively analyse musculoskeletal properties to become an independent professional.

MAREWIND addresses the main aspects related with materials durability and maintenance in offshore structures which consequently suppose failures, misfunctioning, loss of efficiency in energy generation and which have a major repercussion in O&M costs and capital costs. With the combined forces of key-players in the current value chain of wind energy, MAREWIND cover a set of ambitious targets focused on: (1) enhancing corrosion protection systems and durability, (2) effective and durable antifouling solutions without using biocides, (3) erosion protection and mechanical reinforcement in wind blades, (4) predictive modelling and monitoring and (5) increasing recyclability. These objectives will be developed considering three main pillars addressing all those aspects related with (a) Scalable manufacturing technologies, (b) Safer-by-design materials avoiding environmental concerns and (c) standardisation aspects for effective European deployment of marketable and usable technologies. Consortium Partners and core business are one of the strongest points of MAREWIND. Technological and scientific partners (LUREDERRA, TWI, CETMA, INEGI, IDENER and INL) are experts on main areas of materials and technologies to be improved: coatings, concrete, composites, monitoring and predictive methods, thus the initial TRL 4 is assured. Companies involved cover the whole value chain on offshore wind and therefore will validate prototypes, results and costs along the project under accelerated testing and real environment. TECNAN will produce at industrial scale coatings, TSF will produce coated fastening elements, EIRE will produce prototypes of wind blades, ACCIONA will produce concrete prototypes, KOSHKIL will provide validation in maintenance, NAVAL as leading in floating will validate materials and assess repercussions in designs and EDF as operator of offshore renewables will provide data, real offshore locations for testing and costs models for final validation of technologies.

The miniNO project aims to identify the key causative mechanisms of the lifelong multimorbidity associated with preterm birth. Prematurity is associated with alterations in the maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, and specifically with its transient activation during infancy, known as minipuberty. miniNO will study for the first time the association between premature birth and alterations in minipuberty and infantile nitric oxide (NO) signaling in the brain, and comorbidities that appear later on in life. The project is based on robust preclinical data and previous clinical studies, and will exploit data concerning premature birth and minipuberty in existing cohorts as well as newly created cohorts. We will identify the molecular association between NO deficiency, altered minipuberty and multimorbidity combining mental (e.g. autism, social cognition, learning and memory impairments) and non-mental disorders (e.g. anosmia, hearing loss, metabolic abnormalities, cardiovascular impairements and infertility) as well as gender, environmental and lifestyle factors. For this, we have assembled a unique interdisciplinary consortium of renowned basic scientists (neuroscientists) and clinicians (pediatric and adult endocrinologists, psychiatrists, geneticists) and an SME to implement the project results. By validating the causative mechanisms of the multimorbidity related to preterm birth, we will propose and develop novel diagnostic and preventive tools, including screening tests for biomarkers and newly identified genetic factors, for altered minipuberty, thus paving the way to personalized treatment and new therapeutic options very early in life. miniNO is expected to improve the quality of life of millions of prematurely born individuals and reduce the financial and societal burdens they impose.

Ananda Pharma GmbH qualified a plant derived active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for specific heart diseases. In nanomolar doses the substance protects cardiomyocytes by stabilizing the Na+/K+ -ATPase. The API enables ischemic preconditioning and has a balancing effect on the energy metabolism of cardiomyocytes by enhancing the turnover of lactate to ATP. The specific mode of action conveys a larger therapeutic range which means a smaller risk for unwanted side effects compared to similar substances. The API targets mainly on the small vessels and the myocardial cell, rather than on the large vessels, and therefore can be useful to distinguish between relevant obstructive coronary atherosclerosis and the actual ischemia in the microvasculature or in the myocardial cell itself. These properties convey the great potential as a new diagnostic medical device for patients with angina pectoris due to ischemic heart conditions. Therefore Ananda Pharma GmbH developed AnandaCor®, an innovative tablet formulation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Since cardiovascular and ischemic heart conditions are highly prevalent in all industrialized countries, with over 2 million deaths per year and estimated external costs of nearly 110 billion € per annum in the European Union alone, there is an urgent need for effective diagnostic investigation.

EU personal data rules exist to ensure that EU citizens’ online data is awarded the highest possible standard of protection in the EU and abroad. The Privacy Shield, for example, is a US-EU personal data transfer framework that came into effect in mid-2016. But moves by the Trump administration to roll back key Internet privacy rules have already spooked the European Union over the stability of the Privacy Shield agreement. Nowadays, social media sites and search engines based outside of the EU generate massive streams of personal data. Third-party cookies and invisible trackers are used to gather online data for advertising, analytics and more, often without the knowledge or consent of users. A critical structural weakness in the EU’s online privacy and security defense is that US tech companies dominate the market for web browsers. 95% of browsers used in the EU rely on US law to defend online privacy and security. Adaptive Bee’s UR Browser is the only solution based entirely in the European Union, where user privacy is highly protected. UR offers unparalleled features for online security and privacy (anti-tracking and anti-profiling). All our privacy and security features are set by default. The user can only change them through specific opt-out actions. Around 40% of Europeans are willing to pay for security features like VPN, ad blocking, and anti-virus/malware software. UR Browser offers a seamless, all-in-one alternative: a freemium browser designed for security and privacy, which guarantees EU regulation compliance. We have years of experience developing Chromium-based browser tech, and generated €2M in revenue last year alone. The UR minimum viable product browser is already on the market with over 1 million downloads to date. The goal of this project is to confirm the technical and commercial feasibility of our next-generation UR Browser 2.0. We forecast generating over €30M in revenue by Y5 after its global market launch, directly creating 62 jobs.
