JUST STREETS is the project proposal from a team of 30 partners from 17 countries, including 12 cities representing more than 4,5m citizens. It aims to transform cities’ car-centered mobility narratives that take for granted that streets are for motorized traffic only, promoting walking, cycling and other active modes of mobility. JUST STREETS will be re-shaping street infrastructure and changing individual mobility behavior in 12 cities, while proactively sharing the generated “how-to-do-it” knowledge with hundreds of cities for rapid replication across Europe. In close collaboration with citizens, policy makers, experts, and interest groups the project will not only develop a new vision of spatial justice where streets become public space for all, but equally important find ways to rapidly implement changes. A strong focus is on displaying how necessary transformations in the face of climate change can (and must) successfully improve social justice, accessibility, inclusivity, and security along the way. Putting marginalized social groups, the most vulnerable mobility users, as well as those citizens at the core of JUST STREETS that have been previously underrepresented in mobility infrastructure decision-making will allow the project to create highly valuable knowhow, critical in creating better, more just, and sustainable cities for all citizens. The unique composition of the JUST STREET consortium is critical in making sure this knowledge is not only created, but subsequently shared with as many urban decision makers as possible from cities across Europe who have the means to initiate transformation in their cities. Top-level research and organizations with vast experience in the fields of mobility, urban planning, climate change, and social transformation are collaborating with the communication and dissemination expert partners who have established channels to reach and interact with tens of thousands urban decision-makers that will shape the future of cities

The MultiX project aims to revolutionize the 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN) design and operation by developing a pioneering MultiX fusion Perceptive 6G-RAN system (MP6R) that will support an integrated multi-sensor, multi-static, multi-band, and multi-technology paradigm to enable multi-sensorial perception for future 6G sensing applications. The MP6R builds on top of three innovation pillars: i) MultiX Perception System (MPS) that introduces 3 levels of sensing functions into the RAN stack to support multi-sensor, multi-band, multi-static, and multi-technology Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), following a streamlined functional split architecture to enable a fully flexible ISAC deployment in 6G-RAN and to facilitate vendors to extend their RAN stack to support sensing in a plug & play manner; ii) MP6R controller (MP6RC) that extends the RAN control plane functionalities to coordinate and control multi-technology integration (including 3GPP, non-3GPP, and other sensor technologies such as Radar, LiDAR, camera, etc.), while considering new connectivity approaches as well as mobility challenges for sensing and localization services; and iii) Data Access and Security Hub (DASH) designed as a novel RAN data plane entity that aggregates multi-sensor data of diverse technologies, providing secure data access, processing, storage, and exposure, ensuring data privacy and trustworthiness, and that can be fully distributed throughout the data plane wherever needed in the 6G-RAN. The proposed MP6R RAN design, and a set of other selected innovations, will be validated and demonstrated in two specific Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) targeting TRL 4-5: PoC#1) Multi-layer Network Digital Twin for Industrial Manufacturing and PoC#2) Contact-free eHealth Monitoring at Home Environment. In addition, MultiX also aims to shape 6G standardization for achieving maximum sustainability and impact by contributing to relevant SDOs, including 3GPP, IEEE, ETSI ISAC.

CHArT aims at investigating how Arabic Christianity living in a predominantly Islamic environment assimilated its own foundational religious heritage through a momentous translation process from Greek into Arabic. The case study is chosen among the unpublished Arabic translations of the mysterious Christian theologian known as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (early 6th century CE), whose entrance in the Arab world in the 10th-11th centuries intertwines with crucial Middle Eastern intellectual milieus. CHArT’s overarching objective consists in charting the assimilation of this author in Arabic, by publishing both the Arabic translations of Pseudo-Dionysius’ influential treatise On Celestial Hierarchy and placing them for the first time into the broader Arabic cultural landscape. The project objectives will be achieved thanks to an interdisciplinary combination of textual criticism, codicology, paleography, as well as disciplines which will shed light on the cultural milieus behind the translations. The project results will open up new fields of research on the Arabic, Byzantine, and Georgian fortune of Pseudo-Dionysius, as well as on possible cross-pollinations between religious cultures within the Islamic world. In turn, this will contribute to the broader goal of reconstructing the history of Christianity in the Middle East and its relationships with Islam.

Artificial intelligence is a pervasive and ubiquitous technology, with fast developments and ever-growing applicative horizons. While achieving outstanding results, estimating the decisions’ reliability is a critical and open problem with strategic outcomes: from estimating uncertainty in numerical simulations to harnessing system reactions in open environments. Uncertainties both in input data and model output should be handled to increase the confidence in AI applications : physics-based models, edge computing, data frugal approaches, interactions with humans, with many applications in energy, climate change adaptation, bioinformatics, engineering, fundamental and material science,… DeMythif.IA is an international doctoral training and career development program driven by UPSaclay, and its 19 research and industrial partners supported by thematic networks to enhance the scientific excellence and career development of 30 PhD fellows in Greater Paris area. The program focuses on 3 interdisciplinary scientific axes 1) handling uncertainties on data and model and quantifying uncertainties on the predictions, 2) managing explainability, so that the trained model outcome can be trusted and explained to a human, and 3) encouraging frugality, both in term of labelled data and energy for training, so that real-life applications (as opposed to proofs-of-concept) emerge. The fellows will benefit from world-class scientific programs, quality supervision and industrial secondments and also from personalized career development activities and transferable skills training (interpersonal, communication, digital, entrepreneurship, open science, gender, ethics). DeMythif.AI’s strength lies in its diversity permitting to fine-tune the content offered to the fellows from a professional perspective. It ultimately allows concretizing dynamic research collaborations and developing strong synergies around the academic and industrial community, opening new perspectives beyond the project.

EvOoC aims at developing smart mechanically active Organs-on-Chip platforms as clinically relevant in vitro setups to unravel mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration and progression of unmet diseases. A decade ago, developmental engineering (DE) proposed to model in vitro clinically relevant tissues replica by recapitulation of embryonic developmental events. Despite physical forces have recently been suggested as main driver of developmental processes, mechanical conditioning never prevailed as key DE strategy. This is related to a lack in current in vitro mechanobiology setups, mainly based on open loop systems, which disregard the fact that native mechanical environment varies in time as function of tissue state itself. EvOoC vision is to elevate mechanobiology as leading DE approach through a ground-breaking paradigm, named mechanical re-evolution, based on the high-risk/high-gain hypothesis that an iterative manipulation of mechanical forces is necessary to guide in vitro adult tissue development at unprecedented levels. Towards this vision, I will deliver a new method (Evolving OoC, EvOoC), integrating three enabling functions: “Move” - to apply native-inspired mechanical forces to tissues in vitro; “Sense” – to monitor their comprehensive effect on tissue development; “Adapt” – to modulate forces as a function of tissue responses through machine learning (ML)-based algorithms, towards an unsupervised tissue evolution. I will take advantages of two paradigmatic test-cases (cartilage and heart) to showcase the power of mechanical re-evolution in guiding in vitro tissue physiological and pathological states, towards the identification of a brand-new class of mechanotherapeutics for unmet pathologies. By combining principles of microfabrication, DE, mechanobiology and ML, EvOoC will revolutionize basic studies in tissue development and disease modeling, facilitating innovative translational strategies to tackle tissue repair in manifold applications.

XTRACT seeks to introduce the novel concept of the Zero Emission Mine of the Future, introducing innovative technologies for sustainable and decarbonised extraction. The XTRACT technological pathways to a lower mining emission future are addressing well-identified emission intensive points of the current mining value chain. XTRACT will add a highly innovative new alternative to the toolbox of how stockpiles and tailings are assessed, relieving the pressure on resources and contributing to the realization of EU Climate Neutrality Goals, with a significant benefit of emission reduction. XTRACT will scale remote sensing systems and analytical resources to allow the systematic and remote monitoring of “hard-to-access” mining sites and waste deposits. XTRACT targets the reduction of ore losses and mining waste, through a novel system for the control of the ore loss and dilution, reducing overall mine emissions and economic loss. The trend towards declining orebody grades and continued development of the pursuit of existing operation to exploit lower grade deposits is likely to continue, in the absence of high-grade project discovery. XTRACT will develop and validate innovative microinvasive technologies and solutions to extract high-tech elements from minerals and wastes, specifically tailored to remote, “hard-to-reach” locations and small quantities, where extraction is unprofitable. The in-situ bioleaching process and membrane treatment will be applied and optimized with the aim to achieve enhanced microbial activity, catalyst production, and therefore, maximum metal recovery from the source. XTRACT will introduce low-TRL green technologies of phytoextraction and phytoremediation, particularly appropriate for mining waste piles and abandoned sites, that represent a solution for mine waste remediation but also for the extraction and recovery of various precious metals. XTRACT will be validated in 5 case studies in Germany, Sweden, Portugal and Greece.

This multidisciplinary project bridges differential geometry, optimal control, and numerical analysis, with practical applications in robotic engineering. It introduces a novel approach to path-planning for dynamical control systems on Riemannian manifolds, simplifying many challenges of modern geometric control methods. The central hypothesis is that, under certain conditions, control forces can be integrated into the geometry of the configuration manifold, enabling the trajectories of double-integrator systems to be interpreted as Riemannian geodesics of a modified Riemannian metric. By introducing Gordonian and conformal transformations, the metric is strategically modified to achieve objectives such as trajectory-tracking and obstacle and region avoidance. B-stable modifications of the implicit geodesic Euler method and symplectic geodesic Euler method are constructed on Riemannian manifolds by strategically modifying the curvature through Gordonian transformations. Applications considered throughout the project include the design of trajectory-tracking control schemes for teams of quadrotor UAVs transporting cargo, as well as region avoidance on Riemannian homogeneous spaces.

Currently within the EU, the construction industry is responsible for 50% of all extracted virgin materials and generates over 35% of the EU’s total waste. Recycling rates for construction and demolition waste (CDW) vary among EU Member States, ranging from 10% to 90%. Despite successful recycling efforts so far, the process Is not 100% effective, and still produces waste as waste filter cake (WFC). This poses ongoing challenges to sustainable construction and waste management. To address these challenges, G & B Finch Ltd proposes an innovative solution to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the construction industry’s waste management practices, converting the current 75% recycling rate to 100%. This proposal involves the development of an economical and eco-friendly technique to repurpose WFC into lightweight aggregate (LWA) using the novel and efficient Trefoil Suffolk Process (TSP) kilns. The LWA produced through this method promises to be a commercially viable solution for both the construction and waste management sectors that will revolutionize CDW recycling. Through a series of experimental and full-scale plant studies, G & B Finch Ltd will optimize the conversion process, ensuring the production of versatile LWA that meets industry standards and can be used to manufacture a range of high-quality construction products. This project will directly support the EU Green Deal, the Waste management and Landfill directives, and foster a circular economy.
