Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have an important role in the economy. However in the Republic of Moldova the SMEs still exploit to a limited extent the innovation opportunities and propects available at European level. To link EEN fully with H2020 support to innovation, and future promotion of the SME instrument, research active SMEs and research institutions will also be targeted, together with students and scientists (with special focus a women in science and research). Our approach is designed to ensure, therefore, that Consortium members, reinforce their cooperation with Horizon 2020 National Contact Points and develop their own relations with European specialists in innovation projects management, in preparation for more in-depth support to the SME Instrument (and other relevant Horizon 2020 action) in future. Through this, the project partners would be well positioned in future to facilitate the participation of SMEs in the SME Instrument coaching process by informing and convincing the potential beneficiary on the advantages of participating in the coaching facility, identifying the suitable coach from a central database, supporting the selected SMEs establish contact and develop trust with the selected coach and create conditions for the complete involvement of SMEs in the complete range of innovation support available at national or regional level.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are everywhere: they power smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, hearing aids, and drones, for example. The crucial aspect in Li-ion batteries is their energy density; that is, how much energy a battery of a given volume and weight can store. The denser in energy a battery is, the longer it will last. Global R&D manages to increase the energy density of Li-Ion batteries by about 3% every year. At LeydenJar Technologies, we pioneer a process to increase the energy density by 50% without compromising on costs, safety, and lifetime. The key aspect of our innovation is a novel anode manufactured using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), a technology already established in the photovoltaic industry. Our innovation is at TRL 7 and it has proven performances comparable to state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries and potential to exceed them by far. We have patented the core aspects of our innovation worldwide, built a strong team, and defined a business case with the stakeholders in the value chain. Our anodes will be a breakthrough in the world of Li-ion batteries, allowing portable devices to last 50% longer and electric vehicles to drive 50% more, so the infrastructure of charging stations will need to be much less dense. Our innovation is very important for Europe, since the EC is making a huge effort to build a local battery industry that can compete with the Asian one. The market of Li-ion batteries will exceed €90 billion of turnover in 2025. To become a major player in it, during the Phase 2 project we will finalize our technology and production process, build a demo machine that exceeds in throughput the one we own now, and validate our anodes with an external battery manufacturer. Upon completion of the project, our innovation will have reached TRL 9 and we will have a launching customer among battery manufacturers. Then, the only activity left before commercialization is the setup of a commercial production plant.

Plastic use in agriculture has tremendously increased in the past decades resulting in soil pollution with plastic residues forming besides macroplastics micro (MP) and nanoplastics (NP). MINAGRIS aims to contribute to healthy soils in Europe by providing a deeper understanding and tools to assess the impact of MP and NP in agricultural soil health. To create an overview on the actual situation across Europe, MINAGRIS will assess the use of different plastic polymers in agricultural systems in 11 case study across Europe and identify the resulting types and concentrations of MPs and NPs. Concentrations of other stressors in soils such as pesticides and veterinary drugs will be additionally assessed. MINAGRIS will provide validated analytical tools that allow the quantification and identification of MPs and NPs in soils. Based on the results of the case study sites, controlled experiments will be conducted to analyse the impact of MPs and NPs on physico-chemical soil properties, soil biodiversity, plant productivity, and Ecosystem Services, as well as their potential transfer to other parts of the environment and plants. Furthermore, synergistic effects with other stressors are assessed. Quantification of the impacts of MNP on soil biodiversity and agricultural productivity, their transport and degradation in the environment, their impacts on socio-economic components, and synergies between all of them will make it possible to identify, in a multifactorial vision, the benefits and risks associated with the use of plastics in agriculture. Based on the results, MINAGRIS will quantify the economic, environmental, and social consequences of unsustainable soil management at the field and farm level in different biogeographical regions and, through a Multi-Actor Approach (MAA), develop a practical toolbox for and with farmers for the rapid assessment of soil exposure, at the same time raising relevant stakeholders’ and end-users’ awareness of the issue.

CHEK proposes to reach zero emission shipping by disrupting the way ships are designed and operated today. The project will develop and demonstrate two bespoke vessel designs – a wind energy optimised bulk carrier and a hydrogen powered cruise ship – equipped with an interdisciplinary combination of innovative technologies working in symbiosis to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 99%, achieve at least 50% energy savings and reduce black carbon emissions by over 95%. Rather than “stacking” novel technologies onto existing vessel designs, the consortium is proposing to develop a unique Future-Proof Vessel (FPV) Design Platform to ensure maximised symbiosis between the novel technologies proposed and taking into consideration the vessels’ real operational profiles (rather than just sea-trial performance). The FPV Platform will also serve as a basis for replicating the CHEK approach towards other vessel types such as tankers, container ships, general cargo ships and ferries. These jointly cover over 93% of the global shipping tonnage and are responsible for 85% of global GHG emissions from shipping. In order to achieve real-world impact and the decarbonisation of the global shipping fleet, the consortium will undertake an analysis of framework conditions influencing long-distance shipping today (including infrastructure availability) and propose solutions to ensure the proposed vessel designs can and will be deployed in reality. A Foresight Exercise will simulate the deployment of the CHEK innovations on the global shipping fleet with the aim of reaching the IMO’s goal of halving shipping emissions by 2050 and contributing to turning Europe into the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050 (as stipulated by the European Green Deal). A tailored communication and dissemination strategy led by the IMO-founded partner WMU will ensure appropriate involvement of stakeholders (e.g. MEPC, DG CLIMA, DG MOVE), including the engagement of the general public.

Hyperthermia (HT), heating tumors to temperatures of 40-44°C, is an oncological treatment used in combination with radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy to enhance their efficacy. Clinical effectiveness of HT has been demonstrated in randomised studies and HT is currently applied for many clinical indications, like cervical cancer and recurrent breast cancer. Clinical results can be further improved as application of HT with well-controlled tumor temperatures and optimal timing and sequence realising full synergy of RT+HT is challenging. Optimal HT delivery requires accurate planning, moreover preclinical research has shown that many mechanisms are responsible for the therapeutic effect of HT, all presumably with a different temperature-effect relationship and with different optimal timing between RT and HT. Optimisation of clinical RT+HT treatments therefore requires a quantum leap in understanding and in clinical application. Scientific objective of this multidisciplinary project with contributions from all sectors and disciplines (biology, physics and oncology) is to combine training and research into the synergistic molecular mechanisms responsible for the therapeutic effect of HT on RT with the development of a versatile and innovative planning platform which utilises biological knowledge to achieve optimal patient-specific treatment delivery and ultimately application in a clinical registration study in a network of European centres implementing this treatment planning software to ensure optimal treatment delivery. This ground-breaking and multidisciplinary project with contributions from biology, physics and oncology will create a versatile and innovative planning platform, enhance fundamental knowledge and create practical tools to achieve personalised treatment, thereby augmenting treatment delivery and clinical results. The projects will also educate 15 highly skilled professionals capable of addressing and solving complex oncological issues.

The PROCESS demonstrators will pave the way towards exascale data services that will accelerate innovation and maximise the benefits of these emerging data solutions. The main tangible outputs of PROCESS are five very large data service prototypes, implemented using a mature, modular, generalizable open source solution for user friendly exascale data. The services will be thoroughly validated in real-world settings, both in scientific research and in industry pilot deployments. To achieve these ambitious objectives, the project consortium brings together the key players in the new data-driven ecosystem: top-level HPC and big data centres, communities – such as Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project – with unique data challenges that the current solutions are unable to meet and experienced e-Infrastructure solution providers with an extensive track record of rapid application development. In addition to providing the service prototypes that can cope with very large data, PROCESS addresses the work programme goals by using the tools and services with heterogeneous use cases, including medical informatics, airline revenue management and open data for global disaster risk reduction. This diversity of user communities ensures that in addition to supporting communities that push the envelope, the solutions will also ease the learning curve for broadest possible range of user communities. In addition, the chosen open source strategy maximises the potential for uptake and reuse, together with mature software engineering practices that minimise the efforts needed to set up and maintain services based on the PROCESS software releases.

Preventing dementia and Alzheimer disease (AD) is a global priority. Previous single-intervention failures stress the critical need for a new multimodal preventive approach in these complex multifactorial conditions. The Brain Health Toolbox is designed to create a seamless continuum from accurate dementia prediction to effective prevention by i) developing the missing disease models and prediction tools for multimodal prevention; ii) testing them in actual multimodal prevention trials; and iii) bridging the gap between non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches by designing a combined multimodal prevention trial based on a new European adaptive trial platform. Disease models and prediction tools will be multi-dimensional, i.e. a broad range of risk factors and biomarker types, including novel markers. An innovative machine learning method will be used for pattern identification and risk profiling to highlight most important contributors to an individual’s overall risk level. This is crucial for early identification of individuals with high dementia risk and/or high likelihood of specific brain pathologies, quantifying an individual’s prevention potential, and longitudinal risk and disease monitoring, also beyond trial duration. Three Toolbox test scenarios are considered: use for selecting target populations, assessing heterogeneity of intervention effects, and use as trial outcome. The project is based on a unique set-up aligning several new multimodal lifestyle trials aiming to adapt and test non-pharmacological interventions to different geographic, economic and cultural settings, with two reference libraries (observational - large datasets; and interventional - four recently completed pioneering multimodal lifestyle prevention trials). The Brain Health Toolbox covers the entire continuum from general populations to patients with preclinical/prodromal disease stages, and will provide tools for personalized decision-making for dementia prevention.

This project addresses a frontier of modern quantum physics, entanglement in strongly correlated many-particle systems. At present, despite its importance for fundamental phenomena and potential applications, many-body entanglement is poorly understood theoretically and eludes experimental investigations. Three fundamental challenges are blocking further progress: there are infinitely many classes of many-body entangled states, the calculation of real-time quantum dynamics is inherently difficult, and the quantification of many-particle entanglement remains a hard experimental challenge. StrEnQTh adopts a radically novel approach to force a breakthrough in each of these challenges, concentrating on specific targets motivated by next-generation AMO setups. 1. By designing a dedicated quantum resource theory, I will establish a novel framework for topological long-range entanglement. 2. By implementing crucial improvements on a tensor-network method, thermalization dynamics in gauge theories becomes tractable, especially hydrodynamization after heavy-ion collisions. 3. By exploiting the untapped potentials of time-reversing quantum dynamics and measuring high-order correlations, mixed-state entanglement becomes accessible. Further, by introducing a new paradigm of detection by dissipation, unequal-time correlators become available as a novel toolset for witnessing many-body entanglement. To achieve these goals, StrEnQTh builds on (i) my expertise at the interface of quantum optics and information with quantum many-body theory; (ii) previous works and preliminary results that minimize risks; (iii) fruitful synergies between the goals; (iv) a high versatility of the developed methods. The impact of this project will reach far beyond its immediate field. It will elucidate fundamental theoretical questions of relevance to strongly correlated matter at large, and it will deliver a new generation of detection tools that can find application in other platforms.
