Every year, millions of people become ill and thousands die as a result of eating unsafe food. According to the European Food and Safety Authority more than 320,000 human cases of food-borne diseases caused by pathogenic micro-organisms are reported each year in Europe. For that reason, the European Food Safety Authority is imposing strict food safety regulations specifying the maximum permitted level of any contaminant in food. EFSA has also specified that all food manufacturers are responsible for safety of the food they commercialize. The implementation of these regulations has resulted in the growth of the food safety testing market as well as new innovative technologies for detection of all kinds of pathogens. In this regard, the project QFast2 aims at performing a feasibility study for the market introduction of the first Rapid Multi-Target Pathogen Detection Kit in development by iMICROQ. This is a revolutionary product that will enable the fast (<24h), cost-effective and simultaneous detection of three different pathogens (Salmonella, Listeria Monocytogenes and Staphylococcus) directly on-site for food&feed safety industry by non-specialised personnel, with a platform that allows the user to implement the instrument within its own information technology protocol, with full traceability of the sample through the overall process.

The PROTINUS proposal assembles a multi-disciplinary team to combine advanced, applied and theoretical research to create a new standard in imaging, analysing, modelling and predicting the interactions between soil structure and soil functions. Soil structure impacts a whole range of services soil renders to ecosystems, including for example contaminant filtering, carbon storage, root growth, and microbiological diversity. By using modern imaging, image analysis and modelling techniques, we will develop an integrated approach to perform experiments in soil physics, bio-chemistry, to reconstruct soil structure in 3D and to model soil processes. The evaluated models will be used for predicting the different services soil renders to ecosystems in a dynamic way and for testing classical theory, where soil structure is not directly taken into account. To do so we will bring together the theoretical and practical expertise of the involved researchers, infrastructure of the partnering institutes, soil samples and databases. The first stage will investigate today’s best practise in experimental soil science and imaging, data analysis and modelling. Our findings will enable our second stage approach where synergies between the different disciplines will be explored. The third stage will provide the cornerstone of a new unified methodology meant to modify practise and outcomes of current experimental/imaging, analysis and modelling approaches. Our final stage will look at the changes brought to each of the specific research area’s practises and how it impacts the understanding of soil structure and its functions. It is expected that our proposal will foster bilateral collaborations within Europe and with our overseas partners through local and international funding, shared database and infrastructure management, and lead to the creation of a sustainable international network of researchers, infrastructure and institutes.

Tropospheric ozone is a significant climate gas and has a major influence on air quality, public health, and food security. Ozone is lost to the Earth’s surface directly by “dry deposition”, which is an important loss process for this gas. Since the ocean represents 70% of the surface, uncertainties in the dry deposition to the “sea surface microlayer” (SML) of the ocean translate into large differences in the predicted global ocean dry deposition flux. There has been very limited experimental quantification of ozone deposition over the oceans, because making such measurements is technically very challenging, and estimates of oceanic ozone deposition velocities vary widely. The mechanistic details of the process are incomplete and parameterisations in models are untested against observations. This loss of ozone is acknowledged to be controlled predominantly by chemical reactions in the SML involving iodide and organic material, which not only determine how quickly ozone can be irreversibly taken up at the ocean surface, but may also constitute a source of trace gases to the marine atmosphere. Whilst there is a growing body of work on ozone interactions with oceanic iodide, the nature and reactivity of the organic material in the SML which interacts with ozone is completely unknown. This project will probe both the fundamental mechanisms on and in the SML involved in the loss of ozone and production of atmospherically important trace gases and, in a highly novel and agenda-setting approach, apply this mechanistic information to field observations of oceanic ozone fluxes and the corresponding biogeochemical properties of the SML. This highly interdisciplinary study involves aspects of physical chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, ocean chemistry and physics, and engineering. It transcends conventional boundaries by integrating across atmospheric and ocean science, reflecting the PIs world-leading expertise in field and laboratory science in these fields.

We look for new physics in events with top quarks using LHC proton-proton collisions at the CMS detector. A direct search for top quark partners in the form of vector-like quarks is performed, complemented by an indirect but model-independent search for new physics interacting with top quarks using precision top quark properties measurements. In order to enable these and similar analyses to continue at the future High Luminosity LHC, we study the performance of the upgraded track trigger for events with top quarks, including optimisation of reconstruction algorithms and working points.

The candidate proposes to investigate certain highly symmetric finite partial linear spaces using methods from combinatorics and group theory. A partial linear space consists of a set of points and a set of subsets of points called lines for which each pair of points lies on at most one line, and each line contains at least two points. Both linear spaces and simple undirected graphs are examples of partial linear spaces. For a class of graphs X, a graph G is X-homogeneous if any isomorphism between induced subgraphs of G that are isomorphic to a member of X can be lifted to an automorphism of the entire graph. This definition can naturally be extended to partial linear spaces for any class of partial linear spaces X. The candidate has two long-term research goals. The first is to understand X-homogeneous partial linear spaces S where X is the class of connected partial linear spaces (possibly with bounded size). This leads to two main research objectives. Objective 1 is to focus on the case when S is not a graph or a linear space, where nothing is yet known. Objective 2 is to continue her work on the case when S is a graph and the members of X have bounded size. The second long-term goal of the candidate is to understand partial linear spaces admitting automorphism groups of low rank, which again leads to two main research objectives. Objective 3 is to complete the classification of the primitive permutation groups of rank at most 5. Objective 4 is to use this classification to investigate certain partial linear spaces with rank 4 automorphism groups. These four objectives will enhance the expertise of the mathematical community. They will also lay the foundations for a future programme of research for the candidate and enable her to obtain a permanent academic position.

Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has recently emerged as a key component of health care decision-making, specifically designed to provide evidence of the effectiveness of different health care treatments. The latter are becoming increasingly complex, and there is now intense interest in deploying advanced statistical tools to study and guide the development of such complex systems. Complex interventions might also involve interactions through time, where actions in the past affect the future decision making context. In this case, the temporal dimension should be taken into account into the statistical model, yielding in turn more precise guidelines for health care decision-making. However, current CER methodologies are not well-suited to understand such complex systems or characterise their future behaviour. Statistical methods based on dynamic modelling are therefore needed to advance progress of the state-of-the art of CER research. In particular, this fellowship will tackle the problem by developing novel statistical methodologies for the study of the temporal dynamics of complex health care interventions, both for primary research and evidence synthesis. For primary research, the fellowship will explore the emerging case of pervasive and technology-based interventions, which are by nature dynamic. For evidence synthesis - which is the procedure of summarising evidence from different primary studies of a specific health condition - the innovative tool of network meta-analysis will be deployed and an extension for dynamically monitoring and updating the results of existing network meta-analyses will be developed.

SMEs are the driving force of economic growth and job creation in Europe: 20.7 Million SMEs in the non-financial business economy make up ~99% EU enterprises. 85 % of new jobs in the private sector created by SMEs provide more than two thirds of total jobs (more than 87M). And SMEs account for more than 58% of the total gross-value added in Europe. For SMEs, the backbone of the European Industry, H2020 is looking into completely new funding measures and project types. The new SME instrument, which is used by the various industrial and societal program lines in H2020, offers not only a new 3-phase project development and implementation - from idea validation to market. It also offers those SMEs, which win the race and receive funding, a new form of accompanying support: key account managers and coaches, which are meant to help SME to keep track on their target of growth through innovation. By providing key account management and enhanced innovation services, the overall objective of the BW-KAM project is to enhance the innovation management capacity of SMEs in the geographical area of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which is also the geographical area covered by the EEN –BW. BW-KAM will target SME beneficiaries in the SME Instrument, which are located in Baden-Württemberg as well as high potential SME with strong innovation activities and high potential for internationalization and growth. SEZ will deliver up to 30 service packages.

VEOWARE S.P.R.L is a Belgian SME company, focused on the Space Sector, currently designing and developing Attitude Control Technologies. The technologies being developed are expected to disrupt the market by enhancing the future capabilities of Earth Observation (EO) satellites in combination with reducing the cost of EO imagery. In brief detail the technology being developed allows an EO satellite to rotate faster around it axes quickly enabling up to 10 times more imagery of the planet to be collected compared to traditional solutions. The technology referred to as a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) currently only exists for large and costly satellites weighing from 1 ton to 3 tons. The current goal of VEOWARE is to develop this technology for satellites of a smaller class between 50-500 kg for which there is no similar technology on the market. The goal of this proposed SME Phase-1 activity is to: 1. Develop the business plan with the complete Customer-Supplier chain 2. Identify and review the risks to be mitigated within the technology Supply Chain 3. Work with the Belgian and European Governments/Agencies to understand further the regulatory background of the technology

Despite the huge amount of electrical energy needed to move a ropeway up to a mountain, higher as faster it turns, all around the globe they keep turning at the same nominal speed regardless how many people are waiting for boarding. It would be obvious to adjust the frequency of pass of gondolas, chair lifts or ropeways in general to the number of users that are waiting. In a ski resort, that number uses to be low most of time, workdays. Therefore, a system able to automatically know how long people must wait and able to modify the ropeway speed according to it, could noticeably reduce the energy consumption and would offer a better service during the rush hour. Ropeways have the possibility of manually modifying their speed already, a task that can be performed by the driver. Nevertheless, regarding the experience of ski resorts managers, it is more critical asking him/her to take care of the boarding manoeuvres of users than optimizing the ropeway speed, hence that last uses to turn at its nominal speed. Blue Snow is an integrated system that: 1. Determines the queue waiting-time in the boarding area of a ropeway and informs about it to users and facility managers. This part has been pilot-tested. 2. Automatically optimizes the speed of the ropeway so that it can save energy and it prevents queues. The company has this part patent-pending. Determination of the queue waiting-time is privacy-respectful, thanks to the use of thermal cameras. Without ignoring other applications, like urban transport by cable or leisure parks, the worldwide market of ski-resorts for Blue Snow is estimated to be 500 M€, while European one is 200 M€. This SME Instrument application is to reach that second one as first and highest cost-effective target. Acquiring a better knowledge of the market and its stakeholders, preparing with a ropeway manufacturer a pilot to test the designed speed-modulation system and refining a business plan are the planned activities to carry on with the gran
