SUSTAINABLE strategic goal is to test and validate new edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems as a Decision Support System, on sound economic and technical basis, for suitable precision agriculture management procedures according to the specific climate, geographical and environment conditions. Having a noSUSTAINABLE strategic goal is to test and validate new edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems as a Decision Support System, on sound economic and technical basis, for suitable precision agriculture management procedures according to the specific climate, geographical and environment conditions. Having a novel tool to face adversities in agriculture, especially in developing countries, will produce positive effects in the global economy (maintaining the cost of agricultural products), will reduce the scale of economic emigration (often due to one or several years of low crop) and will help distribute more evenly richness across the planet. This challenging objective will be obtained through a Transfer of Knowledge plan between experts in biological and biochemical experimental analysis on the one hand, and computational experts on the other hand ( agrofood sensors, edge / fog / mist computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data management, and biochemical/biophysical analysis). The strength of this project is the multidisciplinary integration of competences together with the validation of project result in a real environment, the Rural Living Lab in rural area in Tunisia, that offers a unique playground for agritech actors (researchers, companies and citizens) and new food/agricultural concepts. This Living Lab will create an open space to start competing in the market, test and validate the AI Tool and Technology to receive immediate feedback from the consumers and professionals (ICT, farmers, nutritionists, chefs, supermarket chains, food producers). SUSTAINABLE involves 9 countries (EU and TC) with 14 beneficiaries and 2 non-Eu partners partners.

Acobiom is a French Biotech SME (SAS, 8 employees). Since its foundation, June 1999, Acobiom has always been at the forefront of medical innovation, in particular in biomarker discovery and diagnostic development, thanks to its expertise and knowledge in genomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, and data science. In 2011, Acobiom began working to address the problem of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is currently the 4th leading cause of cancer death in Western Countries. If no action is taken, it will rise to be second in 2020. For nearly 80% of patients (~51K and ~150K in USA and EU patients in 2017), diagnosis occurs at an advanced, non-surgical stage, making them incurable. The high mortality rate, with more than 95% of patients dead at 5 years, versus 13% for breast cancer, is partly due to the difficulty to diagnose, but also because of the lack of stratification of patients and a limited choice for treatments in the current decision-making process. There are currently three major chemotherapy regimens for the pancreatic cancer, and up until now, the decisional algorithm in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) management does not mention pharmacogenomics biomarkers, needed to stratify patient populations and to choose the best treatment with the best clinical effectiveness for a given patient. These regimens have very different toxicities profiles which factors in to which regimen is recommended. Through ImOPac project, Acobiom aims to implement an innovative approach to improve personalized pancreatic cancer management in the decision-making process of PDAC, by using biomarkers to help in the patient stratification. This approach is the GemciTest, a non-invasive test based on an 11-gene blood signature score. Thanks to this innovation, Acobiom has an opportunity to create an EU new market estimated at 360 M€, and leading to a 34 M€ turnover by 2024.

Last time you paid your insurance bill, did you realize that about 25% was to pay for legacy processes that are frozen due to inflexible IT systems setup in the 80s and 90s? You’d be right to expect that a worldwide industry with 32,000 insurers generating over 3% of world’s GDP with a highly immaterial business model would be the first to make effective use of IT. It isn’t. The knowledge needed to run the business has been buried under layers of dated tools, unable to respond to new customer segments or expectations, and leading traditional insurers to the verge of disruption in the next 5 years. One of the main causes is insurers take on average 9 months to launch a new insurance product due to the complexity and number of their legacy systems. As a consequence, they spend 70% of their IT budget just to maintain the status quo. With InsurAgility, using an insurance product editor and generative code, we enable insurers to launch new products in one month, make complex changes in hours and simple ones in minutes. All done by actuaries and insurance business users with no need for IT staff. The result? 90% faster time to market, anticipating sales and lowering operating costs. Why would conservative insurers take such a disruptive approach now? Three reasons: rise of the empowered customer, new nimble players that are responding fast to these customers for a fraction of the price, and the lowest interest rates in recorded history. There is no choice but to act on the operational costs that add no value for customers. With 30+ years of experience in insurance, 50+ customers and 5 world-class partners supporting the sale and implementation of our software, i2S proposes to further develop its disruptive solution to target an addressable market of 1,900 insurers. In 3 years, with just 2% of the addressable market, i2S will achieve a ROI of 3 and 10M€ in accumulated profits.

The Index of Middle English Prose (IMEP) is the most important reference tool for Middle English non-verse texts. It seeks, for the first time, to locate and identify all surviving English prose texts composed between c. 1200 and 1500. In this project I will aim at developing and testing an innovative digital search tool that will greatly facilitate accessing all entries across the different IMEP catalogues and make it possible to search for texts regardless of the wide range of spelling variation. The prototype of the digital search tool will be based on a draft of an IMEP volume for one of the most famous medieval manuscript collections in Britain: the Cotton collection in the British Library. I will, additionally, edit an IMEP volume for print publication. The proposed research action formulates three main objectives. These seek to improve the functionality of the IMEP website, to expand the site with the addition of the Cotton volume and to lay the foundation for expansion of the IMEP by writing guidelines for the digitisation of further volumes. Since I am trained in manuscript studies and Middle English as well as in Digital Humanities and compilation of corpora of historical texts, I possess the necessary expertise to undertake the research action. The action includes research trips to the British Library in London as well as a secondment at the Cambridge Digital Humanities (CDH). The host is the University of Oslo where local expertise is available that is highly pertinent to the research action, including the editor-in-chief of the IMEP and an IMEP advisory board member with complementary expertise in both manuscript studies, Middle English, and natural language processing. The research action will both consolidate and expand my profile to qualify me for an assistant/associate professorship.

Insect resistance to synthetic insecticides and the anti-herbivore defence chemicals produced by many plants is an ongoing challenge to sustainable pest management while also an exceptional model system to study adaptive evolution. The cytochrome P450s are a superfamily of enzymes that are ubiquitous in nature, and one of the most important enzyme families used by insects to defend themselves against natural and synthetic xenobiotics. Insects have been shown to evolve resistance through quantitative changes in P450 expression or via qualitative changes in P450s that alter metabolic activity. Despite their importance in conferring resistance the variety of regulatory changes that modulate P450 expression in resistant insects and their relative frequency/impact is not fully understood. Furthermore, although qualitative changes in insect P450s associated with resistance are relatively rare they represent a unique opportunity to characterise insecticide/toxin binding and identify the critical structure/function determinants of the P450/insect toxin interaction. In this project I will exploit cutting-edge advances in genomics, epigenetics and transgenics to study the insect P450 resistome in three main workpackages: WP-1: Will identify the molecular drivers of quantitative changes to insect P450s. WP-2: Will explore the role of qualitative changes in insect P450s in mediating resistance and identify structure/function determinants of insecticide metabolism. WP-3: Will exploit the knowledge gained in WP1/2 and from previous research to deliver a ‘P450 toolkit’ consisting of in vitro and in vivo screening tools, with which to identify resistance breaking chemistry, and high-throughput diagnostics for use in resistance management. In summary this project will provide novel insights into this important enzyme family and provide tools that can be used to develop new products and strategies that slow, prevent, or overcome resistance and so ensure sustainable crop protection

The GHaNA project aims to explore and characterize a new marine bioresource, for blue biotechnology applications in aquaculture, cosmetics and possibly food and health industry. The project will determine the biological and chemical diversity of Haslea diatoms to develop mass-scale production for viable industrial applications by maximising biomass production and associated high-value compound production, including terpenoids, marennine-like pigments, lipids and silica skeletons. The genus Haslea species type H. ostrearia, produces marennine, a water-soluble blue pigment used for greening oysters in Western France, which is also a bioactive molecule. Haslea diatoms have thus a high potential for use in (1) existing oyster farming, (2) production of pigments and bioactive compounds with natural antibacterial properties, (3) application as a colouring agent within industry, and (4) use of silica skeletons as inorganic “biocharges” in the formulation of new elastomeric materials. This will be achieved through fundamental and applied-oriented research to isolate fast- growing strains of Haslea, optimising their growth environment to increase marennine and other high-value compound productivity; to develop blue biotechnology specifically applied to benthic microalgae (biorefinery approach, processes); and to develop industrial exploitation of colouring and bioactive compounds through commercial activities of aquaculture, food, cosmetics and health.
