Currently critical environmental situation is being experienced, since global consumption of plastic is enormous and accelerating year by year. Over half of the plastic production ever manufactured has been produced since 2000 and we are set to double our current global annual production by 2050. Only about an estimated 9% of the plastics ever produced have been recycled and 12% have been incinerated. The remainder is either still in use or has either been disposed of in landfills or released into the environment, including the oceans, generating huge amounts of plastics wastes and consequently environmental pollution. BIOMAT proposes a disruptive technology which allow to increase the market of compostable materials, which are defined as a sustainable and ecofriendly solution to reduce clearly plastics pollution. This technology is based on a biobased and compostable additive (ADBio PLA+), which has been designed to improve the neat PLA properties and industrial performance. The main goal of this technology is to improve properties and industrial behavior of the most cost-effective compostable material (PLA) to enlarge its market, and consequently the biobased and compostable materials market. The current plastic market is enormous (≈ 547 B€), and only considering that a very slight increment of PLA market will be reached through ADBio PLA+, very high demand could be reached. BIOMAT project also contributes to achieve the industrialization of the ADBio PLA+ and consequently the PLA-Premium grades, which act as the vehicle for introducing our innovative technology into the plastics market, demonstrating to the industrial packaging sector that these improved PLA grades are technical and economical competitive with fossil-based plastics.

Despite numerous studies of liquid water, its molecular structure has not yet been fully resolved and understanding of its specific properties remains limited. Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that interfacial water formed on surfaces of various synthetic materials tends to exhibit long-range order. Specifically, water exhibits unique physicochemical properties next to the super hydrophilic Nafion surface such as the exclusion of solutes and microspheres, higher refractive index and viscosity, absorption at 270 nm, and charge separation susceptible to incident electromagnetic energy. Ordered layers of water molecules have been also found next to biomolecules like proteins or DNA suggesting a dynamic interaction between matter and aqueous media based on hydrogen bonding or other electrostatic interactions. Simulation studies have also shown that water adjacent to graphene surfaces could build an extensive hydrogen bond network suggesting that water might be involved in the p–p interactions between aromatic groups. In the ATTIC project, the water layer built in the vicinity of various surfaces will be extensively investigated at a molecular level by employing dielectric, THZ and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic studies will be initially focused on Nafion and other hydrophilic surfaces and subsequently, the interactions of water with the aromatic groups of graphene will be explored. The last part of the project includes spectroscopic studies next to orthogonally synthesized styrene-based polymers that bear different functionalization to explore how alterations in the electronic density of aromatic groups affect the water dynamics and the overall self-assembly state of polymers in water. This project aims to bridge the gap between diverse experimental and theoretical works on unique water properties and to pave the way for the development of innovative water-based technologies.

* Background: Emergency care costs are increasing in developed societies, both in rates of emergency department (ED) visits per person and in costs per visit, and are growing faster than other areas of healthcare spending. With limited and unstructured data, ED staff make quick decisions about probabilities for multiple diagnoses and risks. Both underestimation and overestimation of these probabilities lead to increased costs and patient harm. Hence, there is desperate need for clinical decision-support systems in the ED. * Aim: To develop a clinical decision support system for emergency medicine doctors, using sensor data, health records data and patient-reported data, validated in a randomized clinical trial, in order to improve the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of emergency care. * Objectives: We will: Develop machine learning (ML)-powered diagnosis and risk prediction algorithms for common and dangerous conditions based on age, sex, presenting complaints, previous diagnoses, ECGs, and vital parameters; develop and validate a patient-centred technical platform for collecting, storing and sharing patient-reported data and three-dimensional symptom drawings; develop ML-powered diagnosis and risk prediction algorithms for common and dangerous conditions based on patient-reported data and symptom drawings; conduct a large-scale prospective ED data collection for internal and external validation of ML models using a common format for online applications and for further data collection; develop a Bayesian network-powered ED-based clinical decision support system that generates probabilities for diagnoses and 30-day mortality risks and suggestions for the most valuable next step, from data in multiple formats, with visual representation of probabilities, risks and uncertainties and Bayes factors for potential next steps; and conduct a randomized clinical trial investigating the usefulness, effectiveness and safety of the new decision support system.

In Europe, each year foodborne hazards, including bacteria, parasites, bacterial toxins and allergens, already cause more than 20 million cases of illness and thousands of deaths. Foodborne chemical risk, often associated with occurrence of toxins, are of growing concern. Food safety management systems established over the past decades in our European food businesses, and European food safety governance need to be adapted to make the food system more robust towards multiple stressor coming dynamically up (so as climatic impacts). FoodSafeR aims to design, develop and test the building blocks of an innovative pro-active and holistic food safety warning and management system with a look on the dynamics of emerging risks at its heart. FoodSafeR embodies integrated approaches to hazard characterisation and risk management in a comprehensive suite of future oriented case studies, tools, methods, strategies, models, guidance and training materials. An open and accessible digital hub designed to form a core of a sustaining information system will be set up as a ‘One-Stop-Shop’ vehicle targeted at risk managers and assessors, food safety authorities and the relevant actors and stakeholders operating in the European food system. To reach the ambitious goal, FoodSafeR has united a world-class consortium of 18 organisations from across 14 European countries integrating science, industry, SMEs and policymakers. FoodSafeR will contribute to prevent food safety incidences occuring from biological and chemical hazards in the European food system as well as relevant socio-economic impacts. By bringing this approach to a success, FoodSafeR contributes to ‘sustainable, healthy and inclusive food systems delivering co-benefits for climate mitigation and adaptation, environmental sustainability and circularity, sustainable healthy nutrition, safe food consumption, food poverty reduction, the empowerment of communities, and flourishing food business operations.

MultiSoil’s goal is to co-create, test, and demonstrate agricultural practices that improve soil and plant health factors and thus maintain soil functional biodiversity. This in turn helps control pests with less chemicals, in line with Horizon Europe’s Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” specific objectives to reduce soil pollution, enhance restoration, and improve soil structure to enhance soil biodiversity and crop production. Soil organic amendments, microbial inoculants, and diversified cropping systems are co-developed with local actors into innovations to complement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. Their site-specific effectiveness is analysed, and sustainability is assessed in experimental field trials and demonstration sites covering 6 European pedoclimatic zones (7 countries). Innovations are tested and demonstrated with a range of commercially important crops (potato, sugar beet, maize, winter rye, olives, wheat). This will be supported by existing data, collected from other projects, existing field trials, and ongoing Living Labs, to monitor the long-term effects of the practices. MultiSoil is created with farmers and implements a multi-actor approach to ensure continuation of the good practices after the project timespan. Activities will include sharing knowledge, capacity building and training focusing on the tools and expertise developed by MultiSoil. The project will reach out to relevant R&I initiatives and projects, maximising knowledge exchange, and seeking synergies and collaboration. By the end of the project, local actors will have a Toolbox of tailored best practices, and guidelines on how to improve soil health and support soil biodiversity. Data on the social, economic and environmental impacts as well as the risks of the developed practices will support decision making.
