Every real-world planning problem, especially in governance and policy-making, possesses several objectives that are typically subject to inherent conflicts with underlying tradeoffs to be discovered. Policy makers are in need of proper tools that will utilize an overall analytical process, that is, assist in modelling the real-world planning process, automatically obtain the best attainable tradeoffs, and facilitate efficient exploration in order to reach a final decision on which policy to implement. Consensus will strive to model existing real-world use-cases within the relevant policy-making context, and consequently employ measurable quantifiers in order to investigate how and whether preferable tradeoffs can be identified. Those quantifiers will be sought in multiple realms – such as analytical models, numerical simulations, statistical tools and even public opinion evaluators – in order to link the domain data to the set of objectives, and by that to reflect the expected success-rate of policies and their implementation. Furthermore, Consensus intends to investigate the balance shift of the objectives, in scenarios where certain resources are being deployed to primarily address one of them through EU- or international-level policies. This investigation is meant to cover two important real-world use-cases: the one dealing with Biofuels and Climate Change (EU Renewable Energy Directive), and the other dealing with Transportation Networks (trans-European transport network guidelines). Consensus will also seek the citizens’ involvement in policy making according to this scheme, since their input can potentially become highly valuable in various stages, from gathering the necessary data, through formulating public opinion as one of the objectives in the model, to eventually playing the role of exploring the attained tradeoffs and contributing to their weighing.

Avicenna, an Arabian physician and philosopher (980-1037), in his Canon of Medicine, first gave a formal structure to the process of evaluating the effect of a treatment on a disease. Since then, the fundamental nature of clinical trials has changed surprisingly little. The beginning of the 21st century, however, saw the birth of a completely new way to investigate living organisms through computer simulations, called in silico medicine. It is now time to explore systematically how computer simulations can be used to improve clinical trials of drugs, devices, and biotechnology products. We propose the development of a “coordination and support” action, named after the great physician Avicenna, which will establish, in the span of 24 months, a partnership between biomedical industries and European research organisations, with the purpose of developing the technology, methods, protocols, and standards required in order to make possible the use of computer simulations before real clinical trials. The aim of this will be to reduce the costs and the risks (both clinical and financial) involved in trials, and ultimately increase the rate of innovation in healthcare. This action will be designed around two fundamental assumptions: a) The primary users of in silico clinical trials technologies are the biomedical industries; b) The type of research required to develop the necessary technology, methods, protocols, and standards is pre-competitive in nature, and thus should facilitate multiple biomedical industries competing in the same market to collaborate around their development and use.

Heart failure (HF) is one of the major health issues in Europe affecting 6 million patients and growing substantially because of the ageing population and improving survival following myocardial infarction. The poor short to medium term prognosis of these patients means that, treatments such as cardiac re-synchronisation therapy and mitral valve repair can have substantial impact. However, these therapies, are ineffective in up to 50% of the treated patients and involve significant morbidity and substantial cost. The primary aim of VP2HF is to bring together image and data processing tools with statistical and integrated biophysical models mainly developed in previous VPH projects, into a single clinical workflow to improve therapy selection and treatment optimisation in HF. The tools will be tested and validated in 200 patients (including 50 historical datasets) across 3 clinical sites, including a prospective clinical study in 50 patients in the last year of the project. The key innovations in VP2HF that make it likely that the project results will be commercially exploited and have major clinical impact are; 1) all tools to process images and signals, and obtain the statistical and biophysical models will be integrated into one clinical software platform that can be easily and intuitively used by clinicians and tried out in the prospective clinical study and 2) by utilising a decision tree stratification approach, only the appropriate parts of the tool chain, that will add maximum value to the predictions will be used in individual patients, so that the more resource intensive parts will be used when they will add real value. We expect that the study results of substantial improved efficacy of decision making over current guidelines, and an integrated package that is used as part of clinical workflow will ensure the industrial project partners, in particular Philips, will develop project outputs into dedicated products that will have significant clinical impact.

Over the last few years, the greatest concern of the global political agenda has been to find a way to overcome the crisis and therefore to look for effective policy instruments and even for new theoretical economic frameworks. Some effort has been made in order to respond to this concern, but we still miss adequate tools for exploring and governing the complex global dynamics of our economic and social system. On the top of the urgency to find a way out of the crisis, and to prevent future crises by making the global economy more resilient, we need new tools to explore the possibility of broad societal transitions to sustainable patterns of production and consumption. In particular, it is crucial to explore financial sector regulations and macroeconomic policies that help to trigger these sustainability transitions. SYMPHONY aims at providing a set of innovative ICT tools, integrated in a platform designed to tackle these pressing issues. The work will be developed in strict cooperation with stakeholders and policy-makers, involved in the project to devise appropriate scenarios and modelling requirements. The main objective of the project is to develop a framework for designing and testing policies and regulatory measures regarding: - preventing and mitigating economic and financial crises; - fostering an economically and ecologically sustainable growth path. SYMPHONY’s strategy to successfully accomplish its mission is to orchestrate a set of tools that will be able to: - collect and analyze relevant information by means of social media mining tools and web-based information markets; - simulate the complex economic dynamics by means of an agent based model of the global economy, explicitly designed for policy making; - involve citizens in the decision making process through a serious game interface, and through a set of information markets on the artificial economy that will allow us to overcome the huge economic impasse of properly modeling expectations.

Molecular analysis of exhaled breath is a new frontier in medical testing with an enormous potential for monitoring respiratory disease. Breath tests are non-invasive and require minimal patient effort. This makes them applicable in a wide range of settings varying from the intensive care unit (ICU) to home. Respiratory infections are the primary cause of death in ICU. More than half of the patients in ICUs worldwide suffer from infections, which lengthen their hospital stays and increase their mortality rate. Timely detection and treatment is important and monitoring infection via breath analysis will have a major impact on healthcare. Electronic nose sensor technology is being developed but there is a need for clinical validation. Also it is not always clear to which specific compounds these sensors are sensitive. In this proposal the focus is on developing a sensor technique, where measurements are obtained and processed at the bedside. This solution will be dedicated to the detection of infection from breath. A synergistic approach is proposed between sensor technology development, clinical validation and complex data interpretation. Knowledge will be exchanged between an industrial partner (Philips, NL) strongly involved in the healthcare and well-being markets, two academic partners (University of Manchester, UK, Academic Medical Centre, NL) that have an impressive track record in breath analysis research in a clinical environment and a research institution (University of Twente, NL) that has promising potential on bedside gas sensor technology that can be tailored to compounds of interest. The inter-sectorial knowledge transfers as defined in this proposal are key to the success of this ambitious goal. The project consists of 6 highly multidisciplinary work packages, which involve sensor development, clinical measurements and validation studies and the development of complex data analysis tools.
