BTL-COP will carry out European-UK societal and technological capacity building activities with police authorities, prosecutors, judicial actors, training and academic partners to build trust, in-depth tacit knowledge, face-to-face engagement and leadership. The project develops an innovative Trust in Neighbourhood Groups (TING) community-police engagement, deriving from the Viking word for an early form of a parliament. BTL-COP aims to identify, prevent and investigate major contemporary and emerging criminal activities linked to poverty-fuelled local criminal exploitation and aporophobia in UK/EU neighbourhood communities of practice. The project will demonstrate, test and validate social and technological research solutions, co-creating improved police-community engagement to reduce poverty-related crime, and establish community 'safe spaces'. Together, partners help develop Police Authorities’ cutting-edge capabilities to identify, prevent and investigate criminal activities, developing early warning knowledge, threat detection methods, tools, training curricula and manuals for police authorities, security, prosecutorial and judiciary agencies, improving effectiveness in crime reporting, evidence-building, and investigating criminal activities. As an R&I action, BTL-COP builds on best practice in coactive community-oriented policing, participatory research and communities of practice. BTL-COP draws on 90+ collective police authorities' years of effective community-police engagement, plus current and prior Horizon projects, to develop, promote, and disseminate highly successful COP models. The long term impact of BTL-COP is to recommend widescale future development of EU/UK trustworthy safe, sustainable local TING spaces to bring communities and police authorities together to build trust, enhance shared intelligence, leadership and resilience in the face of potential future catastrophes that may become highly vulnerable to g/local criminal exploitation

Vision enables 70% of our sensorial interactions with the outside world, making blindness a devastating condition with profound impact on quality of life. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness globally after cataracts, affects over 80 million people worldwide, including more than 1 million in France alone. The disease impacts approximately 2% of the population over 40 years old and 10% of those over 70. With an aging global population, these numbers are projected to rise significantly in the coming years. Glaucoma is fundamentally a neurological disorder characterized by optic nerve degeneration and death of Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGC), the crucial neurons that transmit visual information from the eye to the brain. The primary treatment approach focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) through medications like prostaglandins and beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, or through surgical intervention. However, these treatments are purely preventative - they can only protect remaining healthy neurons and slow disease progression. They cannot reverse existing damage to the optic nerve or prevent RGC death in advanced cases. Moreover, not all forms of glaucoma are associated with elevated IOP, leaving some patients without effective treatment options. POPEYE introduces a groundbreaking approach to treating glaucoma that represents a significant departure from existing therapeutic strategies. Our innovation lies in developing a first-in-class therapeutic that directly promotes functional recovery through axon regeneration and proper neural circuit reconstruction. The cornerstone of our innovation is the novel use of synthetic peptides to promote both axon regeneration and precise pathfinding. This dual action mechanism distinguishes our approach from all existing regenerative approaches, which have struggled with axon targeting accuracy.

The objective of the SMARTEDGE project is to enable the dynamic integration of decentralised edge intelligence at runtime while ensuring reliability, security, privacy and scalability. We will achieve this by enabling a semantic-based interplay of the edge devices of such systems via a cross-layer toolchain that facilitates the seamless and real-time discoverability and composability of autonomous intelligence swarm. Hence, an application can be freely built by distributing the processing, data fusion and control across heterogeneous sensors, devices and edges with ubiquitous low-latency connectivity. The goal of this project is to develop a SMARTEDGE solution with a low-code tool programming environment with various tools: (1) Continuous Semantic Integration (CSI); (2) Dynamic Swarm Network (DSW); and (3) Low-code Toolchain for Edge Intelligence. CSI allows the SMARTEDGE solution to interact with devices according to a (i) standardized semantic interface, via a (ii) continuous conversion process based on declarative mappings and scalable from edge to cloud, and (iii) providing a declarative approach for the creation and orchestration of apps based on swarm intelligence. DSW provides (i) automatic discovery and dynamic network swarm formation in near real time, (ii) hardware-accelerated in-network operations for context-aware swarm networking, and (iii) embedded network security. The low-code tool chain provides (i) semantic-driven multimodal stream fusion for Edge devices; (ii) swarm elasticity via Edge-Cloud Interplay; (iii) adaptive coordination and optimization; (iv) cross-layer toolchain for Device-Edge-Cloud Continuum. The SMARTEDGE solution will be comprehensively demonstrated over four application areas: automotive, city, factory and heath via the strong collaboration of eight industrial partners, Dell, Siemens, Bosch, IMC, Conveq, Cefiel and NVIDIA with eight research institutes.

Roots must tightly balance uptake of ions and water from the soil into their vasculature. For this purpose, they developed complex systems of barrier mechanisms. The endodermis layer encircles the vasculature and via the casparian strip (CS) and suberin acts as such a barrier. The CS blocks flux outside of cells (the apoplastic flux), and leaves only the symplastic pathway open for the exchange of molecules. Endodermis cell walls undergo suberisation dependent on phloem pole (PP) or xylem pole (XP) association. The unsuberised XP associated endodermis (XPAE) cells are speculated to fulfil an important role as transport highways. Despite this close association to the underlying vasculature, little is known about the dynamics of endodermal symplastic flux in the different poles. I aim to elucidate differences in the cell-to-cell exchange of the endodermis in relation to barrier status and radial positioning. For this, I will use a photoconvertible fluorophore to quantify symplastic flux by XP versus PP association and suberisation status. Next, I will generate tools to specifically manipulate XPAE cells, by forcing them to close off their symplastic connections by plasmodesmal callose deposition, or to undergo suberisation. I will use these tools to assess phenotypic differences on plant growth under stress conditions that affect endodermal barrier development (e.g. low iron, phosphate, and zinc). Together, this will result in unprecedented insights into how the endodermis achieves the specific transport of water, and ions, and will allow me to update models with radial information on endodermal selectivity and connection to vascular transport.

A temporal Kerr cavity soliton (CS) is an optical pulse that propagates undistributed in a low-loss passive resonator. As part of its energy periodically escapes the resonator at each roundtrip, it forms a pulse train. Owing to their ultra-high stability compared to the pulses generated by mode-locked lasers, CSs are expected to play a crucial role in the future of atomic clocks, frequency combs, and high-precision metrology. Besides their inherent stability, they exhibit particle-like behavior. In particular, a couple of CSs can interact in the resonator and eventually form a bound state. Depending on the interaction, such coupled states can be more robust than the single-CS state itself. The aim of SITES (Solitons in time-multiplexed resonators) is to study, theoretically and experimentally, how temporal couplings within an optical resonator lead to the emergence of dynamic behaviors and cavity solitons that do not occur otherwise. On the applied side, SITES can give rise to a new kind of ultra-stable pulse train. On the fundamental front, SITES aims to investigate how these couplings between CSs can be leveraged for computational purposes and used to simulate specific crystal lattices. Such synthetic lattice combined with particle-like CSs leads to a fertile ground for the investigation of nonlinear effects in bosonic systems. Despite these strong fundamental and applied reasons, versatile couplings between multiple CSs have not been experimentally explored so far, mainly because the significant losses arising from the couplings prohibit reaching the intriguing nonlinear regimes. The experimental approach of SITES will overcome such a challenge and enables the realization of previously inaccessible coupled CSs.

Direct aviation emissions accounted for 3.8% of total CO2 emissions and 13.9% of the emissions from transport in the EU in 2017, making it the second biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions after road transport. In addition, the growing amount of air traffic means that many EU citizens are still exposed to high noise levels. Intensified research and innovation activities are therefore needed to reduce all aviation impacts and emissions (CO2 and non-CO2, noise, manufacturing) for the EU to reach its policy goals towards a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. One of the main levers to decrease CO2 emissions is to reduce the airframe structural weight. As an answer, FALCON’s ambition is to enhance the design capabilities of the European industrial aircraft sector, focusing on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena to improve the aerodynamic performances of aircraft (unsteady loads). Specifically, FALCON aims to develop high-performance, predictive and multi-disciplinary tools for FSI in aeronautics, in order to reduce the aeroacoustics and aeroelastic instabilities using multi-fidelity optimization. This will also benefit to specific noise emissions generated by flexible and mobile airframe structures when exposed to both low and high-speed fluid flows. To achieve its ambitious goal, FALCON assembles a unique interdisciplinary environment of fifteen public and private institutions and their affiliated entities (from renowned research institutions to SMEs and aircraft high-tier suppliers and integrators) to cover all the required scientific and know-how expertise. Building upon three industrial testcases and tight links with key European partnerships such as Clean Aviation, FALCON delineates a high-impact/low-risk proposal that will significantly contribute to the digital transformation of the European aircraft supply chain.

Today's cloud market is dominated by three US hyperscalers, resulting in lock-in, high prices, and limited innovation. The BtrBlocks vision aims to tackle this technological weakness by developing low-level, cloud-independent infrastructure services that can be deployed on any cloud platform. Its first building block, CloudStore, is a next-generation storage service designed from the ground up for modern, high-performance SSDs. Unlike existing solutions, our design will drastically reduce the complexity of building cloud-native applications. By being cloud-independent, CloudStore will foster innovation and reduce reliance on hyperscalers. In the long term, CloudStore will serve as the foundation for a broader suite of BtrBlocks services, designed to simplify development of cloud services. This decoupling of hardware infrastructure from high-level services will significantly lower overall cloud costs, spur new development, and strengthen Europe's strategic autonomy.

Cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, are the leading cause of death in Europe. Cardiac tissue that has been lost by injury cannot be naturally regenerated, which leads to heart failure. To help repair heart, biomaterials-driven approaches, especially hydrogels in combination with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are among the most promising strategies. However, existing CNT- based hydrogels provide a simplistic reflection of structural and functional features of the native cardiac tissue. A solution lies in mimicking the native tissue from multiple angles: bioadhesion, viscoelasticity, mechanical properties, electroconductivity, 3D supramolecular and hierarchically ordered fibrous structure. SupraBioElectris aims to develop novel supramolecular biomimetic and electroconductive nanocomposite hydrogels by exploiting the concept of branching, widely occurring in nature. The key players in this project are thus branched CNTs and supramolecular, biomimetic short peptides-based hydrogels. The union of these contrasting components constitutes an innovative approach, making use of their strengths to reach the required multi-faceted biomimicry. The hypothesis is that the combination of these components will create smart and multifunctional biomaterials, able to boost and support electrical activity of cardiomyocytes and thus aid in heart repair. Furthermore, advanced, state-of-the-art material characterization tools will be used to study nanocomposites with nanoscale spatial resolution, ensuring optimal material design and function. SupraBioElectris project therefore addresses one of the major health challenges and will highlight the importance of using supramolecular structures in the design of biomimetic materials. The project is highly interdisciplinary and international. It will also shape the researcher into a leading expert in hydrogels, by expanding his existing expertise via tailored training and acquisition of new skills.

This proposal systematically addresses the development, provision, and integration of services, across the European Research Infrastructures (RIs) landscape, that the scientific community can use to investigate the effects on health and the environment that artificial materials (including plastics, micro-, nano-, and biotechnological materials) can have. Exposure to such materials may occur as a result of their intended use (e.g., food packaging) or at the end of their lifecycle (e.g. plastic wear). These services, which are relevant to several areas of important societal and economic impact, are expected to span multiple scales and disciplines, including high-quality metrology, structural biology, microbiology, and ecotoxicology. The main output of this proposal will be a thorough overview of extant service offer by European RIs with respect to questions from state-of-the-art of scientific research in the aforementioned domains. FHERITALE will identify common strategies for the coordination and optimization of services at different RIs geared towards increasing the accessibility of relevant technologies. In parallel, it will identifty those service and technology gaps that are hampering high-impact research and preventing a timely assessment of the repercussions of new materials on health and the environment. These gaps constitute high-priority areas for future development. FHERITALE will design a coordination framework for the RIs to drive these key technological developments. The technological focus of this application includes emerging areas of research for which international interest is rapidly growing. The interdisciplinary nature of the cluster of identified technologies will connect health, food, and environment research, constituting one of the first examples of practical application of the “One Health” approach. This coordination effort will also serve as a fertile ground for further interdisciplinary research among RIs from the H&F and other domains.
