Strongly interacting electron systems lead to a wealth of competing phases, phase transitions, and quantum critical points. When probed globally, the inherent inhomogeneities, disorder, localization, and mixture with other phases can be a stumbling block in detecting and controlling the various electronic states. Armed with a suitable local probe, however, spatial inhomogeneities turn from a concealing factor into the key to unveil new exotic electronic phases. Our unique tool, the scanning SQUID, is the most suitable probe, as it provides both extremely high magnetic sensitivity - capable of detecting trace amounts of conductivity, superconductivity and magnetism - with a high spatial resolution. We will integrate our state-of-the-art sensor with a set of tuning knobs, to enable simultaneous manipulation and imaging of quantum phase transitions. Our key goal is to provide clear-cut evidence for elusive many-body states that are in the blind spot of global measurements. We will detect hidden phases, such as traces of superconducting islands in an insulator, puddles of strongly correlated electrons at the onset of metallicity, and protected states in topological phases. The spatial distribution of states and disorder-related inhomogeneities will serve as the main tool in our quest. We will elucidate the correlations between emergent states that show non-trivial coexistence, such as magnetism and superconductivity, conductivity in a ferroelectric medium and itinerant ferromagnetism. We will provide clues about the mechanisms that drive fundamental transitions, such as the metal-insulator and the superconductor-insulator transitions. We will track phases and fluctuations near quantum criticality, and use the local information to bridge the gap between the microscopic behavior and the thermodynamic limit, where critical phenomena emerge. We aim to explore fundamental questions like the universality of transitions and assist the development of quantum materials.

The purpose of this project is to study basic questions in algebraic and Kähler geometry. It is well known that the structure of projective or Kähler manifolds is governed by positivity or negativity properties of the curvature tensor. However, many fundamental problems are still wide open. Since the mid 1980's, I have developed a large number of key concepts and results that have led to important progress in transcendental algebraic geometry. Let me mention the discovery of holomorphic Morse inequalities, systematic applications of L² estimates with singular hermitian metrics, and a much improved understanding of Monge-Ampère equations and of singularities of plurisuharmonic functions. My first goal will be to investigate the Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture asserting that an entire curve drawn in a variety of general type is algebraically degenerate. The subject is intimately related to important questions concerning Diophantine equations, especially higher dimensional generalizations of Faltings' theorem - the so-called Vojta program. One can rely here on a breakthrough I made in 2010, showing that all such entire curves must satisfy algebraic differential equations. A second closely related area of research of this project is the analysis of the structure of projective or compact Kähler manifolds. It can be seen as a generalization of the classification theory of surfaces by Kodaira, and of the more recent results for dimension 3 (Kawamata, Kollár, Mori, Shokurov, ...) to other dimensions. My plan is to combine powerful recent results obtained on the duality of positive cohomology cones with an analysis of the instability of the tangent bundle, i.e. of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration. On these ground-breaking questions, I intend to go much further and to enhance my national and international collaborations. These subjects already attract many young researchers and postdocs throughout the world, and the grant could be used to create even stronger interactions.

Over 50 million people in Europe have more than one chronic disease. This number will increase dramatically in the near future. This will increase health care spending to a staggering 20% of GDP. Multi-morbidity becomes the number one threat to population health and economic sustainability of health care systems. New models of care for multi-morbid patients are urgently needed. Given the diversity of Europe’s health and social care systems there is no single model that fits them all. SELFIE aims to improve patient-centred care for patients with multi-morbidity by proposing evidence-based, economically sustainable integrated chronic care (ICC) models that stimulate cooperation across health and social care sectors and are supported by appropriate financing/payment schemes. SELFIE specifically focuses on multi-morbidity, on generating empirical evidence of the impact of ICC and on financing/payment schemes. It is methodologically innovative by applying Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. SELFIE develops 5 end-results that are adjustable to different care systems in Europe, including CEE: 1. A taxonomy of most promising ICC models for patients with multi-morbidity; this taxonomy includes a “toolkit” of interventions that policy makers can use to build an ICC model that best fits into their own health and social care system 2. A detailed list of options for different financing/payment schemes to support the implementation of ICC for multi-morbidity 3. A technical document on price-setting of ICC models for patients with multi-morbidity 4. A performance assessment tool to monitor goal achievement; this tool includes new indicators that specifically address the quality of care for patients with multi-morbidity 5. Strategies for implementation and change management Patients, informal and professional caregivers, payers and policy makers are involved right from the beginning to ensure that SELFIE addresses the right questions and pave the pathway for implementation.

Electronic waste’s rampant growth is globally widespread. Moreover, as recycling is carried out at a low scale and at unprofitable costs, the current trend to deal with this issue is to export this waste to developing nations who have inadequate recycling facilities. We at Guidetti S.r.l, Italian leader in innovative recycling solutions since 1980, are offering our latest technology, called MRP, for the electronic recycling industry offering benefits including: affordability, high production rates, automated processing with 24-hour operational capability and 30% reduction of power consumption. Furthermore, the system recycles a wider scrap profile (including automotive shredder residues) with a 100% recovery rate. No chemicals are used with our system. Our system aims to promote European initiatives on waste management, Waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU and circular economy. The global market is valued at €14.5 billion (Europe accounting for 33.7% of it) and is forecasted to expand to €50 billion by 2021. We have already developed a prototype which produced good preliminary results at our testing facility. With the SME Instrument funding support, we intend to finalized our developments and launch the product to the market ideally by 2020. By exploiting our technology, we reckon to generate a revenue and profit of €12.4million and €5.58million respectively over 5 years.

Indalva S.L. is a Spanish company with more than 50 years’ experience offering turnkey solutions for the agricultural industry. Our major expertise is the formulation and packaging of agricultural nutrients and plant protection products as Water Soluble Granules (WSG) using fluid bed technology, (WSG-FB). The presence of pest in plants is a clear indicator of contamination, creating problems like yield losses or even diseases for consumers. Up to 35% of yield losses result from a pest problem so pest control become a crucial process for agricultural industry. The objective of DISPERzero project is to launch Indalva´s new product lines (fungicides and insecticides) in the Biopesticide market (a €2440 million market with CAGR 2017-2025 of 14.1%), with the key characteristics of being in a granule presentation (0.25-1.18 mm size), natural-based, water soluble, zero residues generator, safer to end users, and environmentally friendly. The granule presentation will guarantee an excellent and quick water dissolution and will be easier and safer to handle by the end-users. DISPERzero will be a game changer, as most related products (powder or liquid pesticides) are not environmentally friendly and have elevated cost and difficulties for handling and transport. DISPERzero products can be applied in a wide range of plantations and agricultural industries, with the highest quality crop demands, reaching high levels of efficiency. To assure fast market uptake of DISPERzero, we will count on our commercial distribution subsidiary companies, Eden Agro and Eden Modern. Additionally, Indalva has a line of products for care and nutrition of plants and will use the same distribution channels to reach national and international markets with DISPERzero products. Upon completion of this project, Indalva will submit a Horizon 2020 SME-Phase II proposal to the industrialization and market launching of DISPERzero products.

Due to their sessile nature, plants have evolved very sophisticated mechanisms to respond and adjust to the changes in environmental conditions. They do so through interconnected signaling pathways that trigger global changes in gene expression. Information about transcriptional regulation in response to different stimuli in plants relies mostly on the identification of the signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in a particular response. Importantly, investigations in yeast and humans indicate that the activity of the RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) complex itself is subjected to a tight regulation by multiple interacting factors that respond to endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Therefore, environment-dependent changes in the activity of this transcriptional machinery seem a plausible new layer of regulation to fine-tune the transcriptional response to external stimuli in plants. In this proposal, we aim to use two complementary approaches based on quantitative mass spectrometry to isolate protein complexes in plant cells at different phases of the transcription cycle and, more important, in response to a major environmental stimulus, light. The first approach relies on the use of deactivated CRISPR/Cas9 to target proximal promoter regions and isolate proteins complexes involved in early events of light-induced transcription. In the second approach, we will identify RNAPII-associated complexes specific of transcription initiation and late elongation/termination. It relies on the use of antibodies that recognize Ser5P and Ser2P marks in the RNAPII, hallmarks of transcription initiation and termination, respectively, to isolate the region-specific RNAPII-associated complexes. Together, these two approaches will allow us i) to identify region-specific transcription machinery components in plants, both conserved and likely plant-specific ii) to study the dynamic composition of these complexes during the response to light.

Europe needs to step up its efforts and strengthen its very own security capacities to secure its digital society, economy, and democracy. It is time to reconquer Europe’s digital sovereignty. The vision for Europe can only be to join forces across Europe’s research, industry and public sector and to include all talents not just those that have representation in the EU mainstream or are within big organizations. Diversity and inclusion are keys for success. Europe has incredible coverage and talent in the area of IT and cybersecurity. The area of cybersecurity is geographically fragmented across Europe for competences, and often also technically fragmented with problem-specific development of security solutions. There is no doubt that excellent research exists in Europe. Nevertheless, it is a fact that this research does not result in IT products and solutions that contribute to the European Single Digital Market. On contrary, a lot of research, also financed by EU ERC grants, is tested on real data in large US companies that cooperate with them. Europe has to and is already rethinking this strategy. CONCORDIA addresses the current fragmentation of security competence by networking diverse competences into a leadership role via a synergistic agglomeration of a pan-European Cybersecurity Center. The vision of CONCORDIA is to build a community a strong cooperation between all stakeholders, understanding that all stakeholders have their KPIs, bridging among them, and fostering the development of IT products and solutions along the whole supply chain. Technologically, it projects a broad and evolvable data-driven and cognitive E2E Security approach for the ever-complex ever-interconnected compositions of emergent data-driven cloud, IoT and edge-assisted ICT ecosystems.

CHPM2030 aims to develop a novel and potentially disruptive technology solution that can help satisfy the European needs for energy and strategic metals in a single interlinked process. Working at the frontiers of geothermal resources development, minerals extraction and electro-metallurgy the project aims at converting ultra-deep metallic mineral formations into an “orebody-EGS” that will serve as a basis for the development of a new type of facility for “Combined Heat, Power and Metal extraction” (CHPM). In the technology envisioned the metal-bearing geological formation will be manipulated in a way that the co-production of energy and metals will be possible, and may be optimised according to the market demands at any given moment in the future. The workplan has been set up in a way to provide proof-of-concept for the following hypotheses: 1. The composition and structure of orebodies have certain advantages that could be used to our advantage when developing an EGS; 2. Metals can be leached from the orebodies in high concentrations over a prolonged period of time and may substantially influence the economics of EGS; 3. The continuous leaching of metals will increase system’s performance over time in a controlled way and without having to use high-pressure reservoir stimulation, minimizing potential detrimental impacts of both heat and metal extraction. As a final outcome the project will deliver blueprints and detailed specifications of a new type of future facility that is designed and operated from the very beginning as a combined heat, power and metal extraction system. The horizontal aim is to provide new impetus to geothermal development in Europe by investigating previously unexplored pathways at low-TRL. This will be achieved by developing a Roadmap in support of the pilot implementation of such system before 2025, and full-scale commercial implementation before 2030

Optimised energy management and use (OPTEMUS) represents an opportunity for overcoming one of the biggest barriers towards large scale adoption of electric and plug-in hybrid cars: range limitation due to limited storage capacity of electric batteries. The OPTEMUS project proposes to tackle this bottleneck by leveraging low energy consumption and energy harvesting through a holistic vehicle-occupant-centred approach, considering space, cost and complexity requirements. Specifically, OPTEMUS intends to develop a number of innovative core technologies (Integrated thermal management system comprising the compact refrigeration unit and the compact HVAC unit, battery housing and insulation as thermal and electric energy storage, thermal energy management control unit, regenerative shock absorbers) and complementary technologies (localised conditioning, comprising the smart seat with implemented TED and the smart cover panels, PV panels) combined with intelligent controls (eco-driving and eco-routing strategies, predictive cabin preconditioning strategy with min. energy consumption, electric management strategy). The combined virtual and real-life prototyping and performance assessment in a state of the art, on-the-market A-segment electric vehicle (Fiat 500e) of this package of technologies will allow demonstrating a minimum of 32% of energy consumption reduction for component cooling and 60% for passenger comfort, as well as an additional 15% being available for traction, leading to an increase of the driving range in extreme weather conditions of at least 44 km (38%) in a hot ambient (+35ºC and 40% rH) and 63 km (70%) in a cold ambient (-10ºC and 90% rH).
