In the EU, buildings are responsible for 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions. By improving the energy efficiency (EE) of buildings, the EU’s total energy consumption could be reduced by 5-6% and CO2 emissions by 5%. Considering that the building stock constitutes the largest single energy consumer in the EU, and that the value of the European mortgage market is equal to 53% of EU’s GDP, there is huge potential to bridge financial innovation and the EE world and to unlock the benefits of mortgage financing to support EE to the benefit of all. The EeMAP Project intends to deliver a standardised framework based on a market benchmark to stimulate EE investment by households in the EU’s housing stock by way of a private banking financing mechanism. Three key outputs will be: a framework for a building energy passport, recording the EE history of a property by recognising the improvements made; a framework that can integrate the “green value” of a property through EE and collected market data; the framework for an EE mortgage product. Accordingly, EE investment will become financially viable, as market transparency will be improved. The Project will create synergies in the mortgage and covered bond value chain, delivering a virtuous circle between lenders, borrowers and investors from the origination of the energy efficient mortgage to the pooling of EE collateral for the purpose of energy efficient covered bonds. EeMAP has long-term potential to drive housing markets across Europe in a sustainable manner and encourage significant energy reductions in line with the EU’s aspirations and global climate change demands. Concretely, issuing 35,000 green mortgages a year can achieve savings of 88 GWh per annum. The EeMAP Project brings together all the necessary competencies (financial, building and EE, property valuation, energy provision and data) to develop a credible, workable and marketable pan-European energy efficient mortgage initiative.

INSUPanel offers non-structural lightweight wall panels of precast concrete adjoined to each other creating a perfect seal of great durability, forming a zero-energy inspired building envelope when insulation materials are faced with the panels. INSUPanel building solution is a 100% thermal bridge free technology (ca. 32% and 94% more energy efficient than current insulated walls and typical brick walls, respectively) capable of eliminating thermal bridges (reaching a very low U-value of 0.121W/m2K vs. 0.18W/m2K of current insulated walls or 2.0W/m2K of typical brick walls), thus, improving energy efficiency, increasing comfort in dwellings, and reducing drastically building construction times and costs. Panels are prefabricated and lightweight so they can be placed directly withouth the use of scaffolding. Our company, Construcciones Zorzano is a renowned construction firm with 25+ year experience in differing areas of construction as a promoter, construction, and real state company (more than 1,000 dwellings built in Spain). Zorzano has developed INSUPanel in response to market feedback to reduce energy consumption in buildings (in EU heating & cooling account for 36% of CO2 emissions and 12% of total energy consumption) and due to stringent EU regulations pushing towards the delivery of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEBs) by 2019 and 2021 for public and private buildings, respectively. We plan to penetrate the energy efficiency building sector for residential and non-residential constructions in EU countries leaders in construction growth output: 1) in early 2020, Spain and France, 2) followed in 2021 by Germany, UK, and Italy, and 3) by 2022 and beyond, expand sales to Belgium, the Netherlands, Eastern Europe, Russia, and the US, beginning with new builds and afterwards for renovation of the building stock. Expected profit amounts to 37.68M€ for the period 2020-2024 with generation of 100 new jobs for qualified personnel.

Pilots4U aims to setup one very visible, easy accessible network of open access pilot and multipurpose demo-infrastructures for the European bio-economy with Europe-wide coverage and protecting IP rights of users. Since pilot- and demo equipment is very expensive and requires specific expertise, open access infrastructures are the most cost-effective manner to support the deployment of industry-driven innovations in the market. To assure that the network meets the needs of the European bio-economy industry (SMEs, start-ups, Large enterprises), current European pilot and demo-capabilities are compared with the needs of the European biobased industry. Up to six business cases of investments in additional equipment, facilities or capabilities will be evaluated, and the first steps will be taken to attract financing. Different cooperation schemes for the open access pilot- and demo-network will be considered. The project consortium has all the required players to succeed: Six partners are coordinating bio-economy pilot or multipurpose demo-infrastructure networks, and therefore assure the involvement of over 40 infrastructures: Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (SmartPilots), VTT (ERIFORE), Royal Institute of Technology KTH (BRISK), Swansea University (Enalgae), Ghent University (Biorefine Cluster Europe) and NNFCC (as secretary of the BioPilotsUK initiative). The cluster organisation CLIC Innovation is representing industry that is contributing in cash to the project. The Europan Regions, research and innovation network with 150 member regions will attract interested European stakeholders (infraststructure owners and users) to get involved in the project, and NNFCC, the bio-economy consultant, is a professional, independent consultant who will lead the study.

As Giorgio Riello claims and Paula Findlen stresses, by ‘connecting objects and narratives, it is possible to write a new history of the early modern’. This project shares the same goal: by investigating the narratives of things, i.e. by investigating their epistemic, cultural, and social lives, by reconstructing their ‘previous lives’ and afterlives, it intends to write a new chapter in the cultural history of science, carry out a reconstruction and visualisation of once lost and so far still unknown part of European scientific heritage. The investigation will focus on American naturalia, i.e. ‘natural things’, kept in yet unexplored collections of a prominent noble family of Rosenberg and in the Jesuit museum in the Clementinum (Musaeum Mathematicum Collegii Clementini). The reconstruction of the memory and experience of these things will be achieved by linking the study of inventories, artefacts, or partial references to items included in those collections with diverse texts and images of institutional and personal character, which bring these things to life from various perspectives and reveal their geographic instability, slipperiness, cultural and gender hybridity, multivalence, and categorical fluidity, especially – but not exclusively – in relation to the specific conditions of Central Europe in the era of first globalisation. The research will be carried out in intensive collaboration with excellent scientists (Spain, Mexico, USA). The main investigation outcome will be 1) a monograph Hidden Spaces of American Natural History in the Early Modern Central Europe presenting the original, hitherto unexplored topics, and 2) a HISPANEMA website that will contain visual reconstructions of the above mentioned collections as well as various other materials thanks to which the ‘Central European americana’ will again come to live in interaction with an audience.

Peripheral and central venous catheters are among the most implanted blood-contacting medical devices for short and long-term clinical applications, respectively. Despite implementations of in-hospital measures, catheters are often subject to infection and thrombotic complications, which result in longer hospitalization stay, higher health care costs, or even death. The CMD-COAT project aims at providing an innovative and rapid solution to this major medical, economical and societal need. The solution comes from our patented technology, referred to as Coatigel, that consists of grafting multilayer cross-linked nanogels with combined antifouling, antimicrobial and antithrombotic properties onto catheter surface. The combination of these properties can guarantee longer catheter clinical performance than any currently available products. Our project includes all the validation steps that will enable us to bring Coatigel on the catheter market. We will assess Coatigel compliance with ISO standards and compile the technical file for CE mark application in accordance with EU directives for class III medical devices. The whole process will be realized under the guidance of a company specialized in quality management to ensure optimal reliability and efficacy. The project also involves setting up partnerships with catheter industries to adjust our technology to manufacturing constraints. Via services of marketing experts, we will take on a competitive market analysis, including geographic segmentation, to position Coatigel in the catheter market. This project will result in the creation of a coating spin-off company with the exclusive right of Coatigel commercial exploitation. The presence of several big catheter manufacturers in Belgium is a main asset for our business success. All this will be achieved thanks to the help of local support in intellectual property management, consolidating industrial partnerships, and in contacts with potential investors.

BISANCE intends at defining a biphasic system integrated into a full composite nacelle and engine air intake. The biphasic system aims at decreasing significantly the weight, the environmatal footprint as well as the space allocated by the current active systems for the cooling of the engine oil and for the energy supply of th ice protection systems. These both active systems (needing external power) will be replaced by a biphasic passive system (autonomous with no need of external power) which will extract the energy from the engine oil and transfer it to the ice protected surfaces. The objective of the project is thus to decrease the weight by 25kg for the two nacelles of a turboprop A/C, to decrease the CO2 emissions by almost 900 000 kg per AC life and to save 200 000$ of operating costs per AC life. The project will be divided into 5 workpackages along 30 months. The first step intends at defining the specifications and the requirements of the product. Based on the requirements, several concepts of system integration into the structure will be proposed and manufactured for selecting the most promising one. Qualification tests are expected for characterizing the structural resistance and stifness of the concept, for verifying the resistance to heat cycles and to impacts. Finally a fulls scale demonstrator will be manufactured for testing it in icing Wind tunnel. The project will be coordinated by Sonaca, also in charge of the structural developments, in association with Calyos, in charge of the system developments and with RTA in charge of performing the icing wind tunnel testing.

Technologies enable unprecedented democratization of cultural practices and the production and use of IP. The creation of an effective system of sustainable norms for digital copyright is a major challenge due to four phenomena: copyright complexity, sidestepping, knowledge gap, and awareness gap. With its multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together researchers, practitioners and stakeholders, reCreating Europe will deliver ground-breaking contributions towards a clear understanding of what makes a regulatory framework that promotes culturally diverse production, and optimizes inclusive access and consumption. First, reCreating Europe yields unprecedented cross-national maps of (i) multi-level regulatory responses that impact access to culture, cultural production, competitiveness of creative industries, and (ii) coping strategies of stakeholders vis-à-vis IPRs pitfalls and constraints. Second, it develops innovative qualitative and quantitative methods to measure the impact of digitization on the production and consumption of cultural goods and services. Changing intermediaries, specific creative communities, micro/SMEs and vulnerable users get special attention. Third, reCreating Europe performs a legal and technological mapping and evaluation of TPMs and content-filtering algorithms, and their impact on cultural diversity, access to culture and the generation of cultural value. Last, it offers policy recommendations and best practices, aimed at democratizing culture while reinforcing the sustainable development of rich and diverse cultural/creative industries. reCreating Europe’s unique comprehensive focus on five key groups of stakeholders -individual authors and performers, creative industries, cultural and heritage institutions, intermediaries, end-users- allows it to assess needs along intertwined research patterns, while its multi-disciplinary innovative approach joins different methodologies within the framework of participatory research strategies.

Halide perovskites are the next big thing in solar energy. State-of-the-art perovskite solar cells outperform established technologies with the advantage of processing from solution. Solution-processed perovskite solar cells are made spraying a precursor ink onto a substrate: the perovskite forms as the chemicals contained in the ink crystallize. This production process makes halide perovskites a valid low-cost alternative established material such as silicon. Furthermore, halide perovskite can work in tandem with silicon to break the theoretical power conversion efficiency limit of 33% according to the Shockley-Queisser model. However, the most effective photovoltaic perovskites contain more than 10% by weight of lead, which overstep the limits adopted in most of the countries to regulate the use of heavy metals in electronics. The FREENERGY project aims at achieving efficient and cost-effective lead-free perovskites replacing lead (Pb) with tin (Sn). We have demonstrated that tin is relatively inert if dispersed in the environment as compared to lead, which is prone to enter into plants and thus into the food chain. This solution does not present any manufacturing issue, as making tin-based perovskite is very similar to make lead-based perovskite. The main obstacle is represented by the low chemical stability of Sn2+, which is very prone to be oxidized to Sn4+. We have identified three key strategies: • Inorganic cations: We found that organic cations comprising perovskite are more prone than inorganic in to activate the Sn oxidation. We have selected a series of inorganic cations comprising Cs and K to replace the organics most commonly used. • Alternative solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide is currently used to synthesize the perovskite, but it contributes to the oxidation. We identified alternative solvents to overcome this issue. • Reducing additives: The perovskite materials are deposited from a solution comprising the precursor of the materials and the solvents.

The arrival of immersive head-mounted displays to the consumer market will create a demand for immersive content of over 2 Billion euros in 2016. However, current audiovisual content is ill-suited for Immersive displays. For example, cuts between shots, which constitute the very basic fabric of traditional cinematic language, do not work well in immersive displays. ImmersiaTV will create a novel form of broadcast omnidirectional video content production and delivery that offers end-users a coherent audiovisual experience across head mounted displays, second screens and the traditional TV set, instead of having their attention divided across them. This novel kind of content will seamlessly integrate with and further augment traditional TV and second display consumer habits. ImmersiaTV will assemble an end-to-end toolset covering the entire audiovisual value chain: immersive production tools, support for omnidirectional cameras, including ultra-high definition and high dynamic range images, and adaptive content coding and delivery, and demonstrate it through 3 pilot demonstrations addressing both on-demand and live content delivery.
