MOSES aims to significantly enhance the SSS component MOSES aims to significantly enhance the SSS component of the European container supply chain by addressing the vulnerabilities and strains that relate to the operation of large containerships. MOSES will follow a two-fold strategy for reducing the total time to berth for TEN-T Hub Ports and stimulating the use of SSS feeder services to small ports (hub and spoke traffic) that have limited or no infrastructure. MOSES will achieve its objectives by implementing the following innovations: (i) For the SSS leg, an innovative, hybrid electric feeder vessel designed to match dominant SSS business cases that will increase the utilization rate of small ports. The feeder will be outfitted with a robotic container-handling system that is self-sufficient in terms of (un)loading containerised cargo and will simplify the process at the Hub Ports while improving the operational capacity of small ports; (ii) For DSS ports, the adoption of an autonomous vessel manoeuvring and docking scheme (MOSES AutoDock) that will provide operational independency from the availability of port services. This scheme will be based on the cooperation of (a) a swarm of autonomous tugboats that automates manoeuvring with (b) an automated docking system based on an existing product; (iii) A digital collaboration and matchmaking platform (MOSES platform) aiming to match demand and supply of cargo volumes by logistics stakeholders using Machine Learning (ML) and data driven-based analysis to maximize SSS traffic. MOSES will be validated by pilot demonstrations in relevant testing environments (TRL5), supported by concrete business cases. A sustainability framework will be developed within the project for evaluating the performance and viability of the proposed innovations with sustainability criteria and benchmarking them against alternative transportation modes. This evaluation will also lead to concrete policy recommendations regarding SSS in Europe.

The proposed research project plans to explore the rationale and ramification of sentencing and punishment in contemporary China through investigating cases concerning gender and sexual identity, that is, sexual violence, sexual assault of minors/girls, and domestic violence, as well as the abuse of the criminal law in incriminating acts promoting the rights of sexual minorities. This research will provide a much-needed while still under-studied evidence-base, examining the relationship between gender and sexual identity and the criminal justice system in China, analysing to what extent the criminal law is utilised and/or abused in causing human rights violations. Based on the examination, the project will study civil society activism advocating for gender equality and the rights of sexual minorities in China as a critical bottom-up approach to address rights violations in individual cases as well as to advance the protection of human rights more broadly. This in-depth inquiry into civil society activism in the cases concerning gender and sexual identity will form a crucial basis for raising targeted plans and strategies addressing the potential restraints and strengthening its forces in working out effective social changes. This socio-legal research, drawing upon the qualitative analysis of cases, quantitative analysis of data, desk-based research on multiple disciplines including feminist jurisprudence, criminology, and human rights, and qualitative analysis of primary data obtained through interviews, aims at shedding light on the relationship and interplay between the state and individual citizen, between power and rights, as well as between patriarchy and authoritarianism. It carries a special significance against the current backdrop that democracy and liberalism have been facing intensifying backlash in Europe and also globally.

Founded in 2012, BAT’IPAC is a French company whose vision is to create a construction business good for economy, ecology and society. Our core and innovative product, the IPAC, satisfies precisely the core values of our company. IPAC is a lightweight construction material made of recycled corrugated cardboard sheets presenting exceptional thermal, acoustic and structural properties allowing it to be used for wall/floor/roof construction and insulation. It is made of 95% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable post dismantling. Due to its controlled manufacturing process, it significantly decreases CO2 production, and has a positive impact on the local economy and society by including the disabled and unprivileged groups in its production process. In the rapidly growing housing demand across the globe, IPAC provides a great sustainable alternative to the traditional, highly pollutant construction materials that are concrete, bricks or steel. Our Phase 1 project will be dedicated to craft the most suitable commercialisation, dissemination and international expansion strategy. In Phase 2, aside of the commercial activities, we are planning to concentrate on optimising our technology, obtaining the necessary certificates and gaining reliable test data that would encourage architects and engineers to use our IPAC construction material. IPAC is expected to generate +58.2 million€ revenues (representing > 880,000 IPAC sold) after 5 years of operation.

Magic angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) has proved to be an invaluable tool in the structural and dynamical characterization at atomic resolution of biomolecules that are not suitable for solution NMR or diffraction studies, notably amyloid fibrils. These proteinaceous aggregates are implicated as the cause of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. Due to severe sensitivity limitations and the difficulty in detecting long-distance contacts in uniformly 13C/15N labelled systems, the characterization of these fibrils has been carried out in-vitro using multiple expensive samples with specific isotopic labelling schemes. In addition, it has been demonstrated that fibrils can adopt various, environment-dependent structures, which result in different levels of toxicity. The global objective of this proposal is to develop a new approach for the structural characterization at atomic resolution of biomolecules, which will be compatible in a long-term vision with native in-situ samples, as for example fibrillar plaque obtained from brain tissue. This would be invaluable in understanding the mechanisms of fibril formation in neurodegenerative diseases. The concrete approach will rely on the use of samples at natural isotopic abundance studied with an emerging hyperpolarization technique ULT-MAS-DNP (Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization at Ultra Low Temperature). The sensitivity of the commercially available MAS-DNP technique will be significantly improved by the combined use of a unique closed-loop He cryostat (allowing ULT) with high-spinning NMR probes. This will routinely afford the sensitivity required for 13C/15N 2D NMR measurements on natural isotopic abundance samples, including the facilitated measurement of inter-molecular distances. This methodology will be applied to solve the structure of challenging poly- glutamine (polyQ) fibrils implicated in Huntington’s disease.

In the last years, the need for high power density and efficiency has become a central concern in all industrial sectors. For this reason, the arrival on the market of new power devices based on wide bandgap (SiC and GaN) semiconductors, with extremely short switching times, has raised a relevant interest. Aerospace industry is one of the main areas which can take advantage from these devices. According to the MEA concept, replacing the aircraft’s hydraulic/mechanical actuators with electrical drives yields an improvement in efficiency and power density, which means a reduction in weight, fuel consumption and noise/pollutants emission. However, some reliability issues may arise in this type of electric drives, as devices with higher voltage gradients have a negative impact on the performace of high voltage insulation systems. As such, there is a need to assess if state-of-the-art insulation materials of machines and power electronic components are suitable for future applications using higher supply voltages and higher switching gradients. The proposed project comprehends the analysis and the experimental assessment of state-of-the-art insulation materials and systems used in aircraft applications.

Global challenges require global policy solutions. The Global Programme to Prevent Son Preference and Gender-biased Sex Selection (2017-2019) and the Joint Programme on the Abandonment of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (2018-2021), both co-funded by the European Union (EU) and carried out by the United Nations (UN), are representative of a range of new initiatives that seek to share knowledge and enact policy change across different jurisdictions. Despite the promise of such global programmes, however, the challenges involved in working across different cultures and policy regimes may prevent them from fully achieving their goals. Very little is known about how knowledge is transferred through these programmes and how it translates into concrete policy. GlobalKnoT assesses knowledge transfer in the Global Programmes on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and Gender-biased Sex Selection (GBSS) to inform academics, practitioners and the public about their functioning and efficacy in providing solutions to global public challenges. By applying the Actor-Network Theory to global policy studies and drawing from policy files, participant observation during international conferences, and expert interviews with UN, WHO and EU officials and policy makers, this project provides a detailed map of the actors and networks involved in global policy. It informs us how knowledge diffusion can be optimized to accelerate change towards eliminating two pervasive forms of gender discrimination and advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Air operations largely use weather information (visibility, wind, precipitation) to make the air traffic flow safe, continuous and efficient. Runway choice, arrival and departure routes are all affected by local weather. As climate changes are ongoing, with larger variability in local phenomena, available information on the weather on short and longer notice are increasing and technology is being improved to use this information. CREATE aims to achieve innovative procedures in ATM to reduce climate and environmental impact, while becoming more resilient to weather phenomena. CREATE will (1) study the vulnerability of the ATM system with respect to weather phenomena to improve ATM procedures (2) study the impact of aviation on the environment both short and long term, in order to propose ATM operational changes able to reduce such impact (3) study possible new meteo tools and methodologies to integrate their use in ATM (4) study and propose ATM operational changes to improve efficiency of air traffic management and reduce related environmental impact for both en-route and TMA flight phases, while improving the ATM resilience with respect to weather phenomena (5) validate proposed ATM operational changes to reduce ATM environmental impact and improve ATM resilience with respect to weather. The ATM system will be looked at from the en-route operations and TMA operations perspectives. CREATE will utilize curved trajectories, to be optimized on-board basing on the CREATE optimization tool. Around these tactically modified trajectories, a concept of operation will be developed based on the SESAR principles for TBO and i4D, enabling the Network Manager for more efficient overall flows optimization, strengthen ATM resilience. CREATE will rely on weather ensemble forecasting models, allowing high resolutions and short-range forecasts, thus contribution to the reduction of aviation’s impact on the environment and climate and improve ATM’s resilience to these phenomena.

The rise of the Internet and the ubiquity of electronic devices has deeply changed our way of life. Many face to face and paper transactions have nowadays digital counterparts: home banking, e- commerce, e-voting, etc. The security of such transactions is ensured by the means of cryptographic protocols. While historically the main goals of protocols were to ensure confidentiality and authentication the situation has changed. The ability of people to stay connected constantly combined with ill-conceived systems seriously threatens people’s privacy. E-voting protocols need to guarantee privacy of votes, while ensuring transparency of the voting process; RFID and mobile telephone protocols have to guarantee that people cannot be traced. Moreover due to viruses and malware, personal computers and mobile phones must not be considered anymore to be trustworthy; yet they have to be used to execute protocols that need to achieve security goals. To detect flaws, prove the security of protocols and propose new design principles the Spooc project will develop solid foundations and practical tools to analyze and formally prove security properties that ensure the privacy of users as well as techniques for executing protocols on untrusted platforms. We will - develop foundations and practical tools for specifying and formally verifying new security properties, in particular privacy properties; - develop techniques for the design and automated analysis of protocols that have to be executed on untrusted platforms; - apply these methods in particular to novel e-voting protocols, which aim at guaranteeing strong security guarantees without need to trust the voter client software. The Spooc project will significantly advance formal verification of security protocols and contribute to the development of a rich framework that provides techniques and tools to analyze and design security protocols guaranteeing user’s privacy and relaxing trust assumptions on the execution platforms.
