At the time of obtaining fibres for industries as the one of cardboard/paper, Substrates or insulation materials, alarming issues arise regarding its production or extraction. On respect of paper and carboard, this has a Carbon footprint of 1Kg/Kg, on top, carboard intended for packaging contains mineral oils saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons. With respect of insulation materials, polystyrene foam for instance has a CO2 footprint of 7-14 CO2/kg, glasswool and rockwool 1,1-1,5 kg CO2/kg which at the end of their life-span these materials, turn into special treatment waste. Substrate market landscape is not much better: peatlands are dramatically destroyed, impairing their carbon sink function. NewFoss (Uden, The Netherlands) developed a biorefining process, NewFoss ECOFIPS which converts 100% of the residual biomass to ligno-cellulose fibre to make high value products. The patented biorefining process is energy/CO2 and water neutral treating organic residue streams, such that they can be used as raw materials. This way, we will develop the business and value chains for fibre intended for paper and packaging (NFF-Pulp), substrate/potting soil (NFF Substrate), insulation panel material (NFF- Iso), and fertilizer. Many industries/consumers at the EU can benefit from all these advantages incorporating an innovative and competitive process to its production, saving money from a circular economy perspective and a sustainable and non-toxic point of view. Global landscape for molded fibre, has a big CAGR with a 6.8% (2017-2022). On respect to the Insulation Materials Market is supported by a CAGR of 6.2% . The worldwide market for Potting Soil is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly 2.8% over the next five years. ECOFIPS project has a budget of 1.4 M and will need two years to be performed. ECOFIPS will supposed to NewFoss, in five years’ time, a total turnover of 116M with a ROI of 10.

Inventory represents a significant portion of assets in a warehouse business. However, to date, a large proportion of warehousing processes are still being performed manually, resulting in shipping delays, wrong products being picked and additional costs that are eating about at company bottom lines. The changes rifling through the industry from IoT and enabling technologies is creating new waves of thinking with service providers trying to determine best solutions that fit their business strategy. To meet the need for a fast way to find and localize items and keep the inventory up-to-date, Arteries created KYLUS, a fully autonomous real-time inventory management system based on high-tech IT and drone technologies. KYLUS is brand-new solution that can totally change how companies run their warehouses. Our integrated inventory and product validation service with a self-guiding drone-based system is addressing real-life problems: it speeds up the inventory counting process by 20-50 times, lowers the costs of human labor by 5%, and minimizes the risk of workplace injuries by 5-10%. With its exceptional real-time localization and tracing system high-quality performance (close to 100% accuracy) can be achieved. Using novel RFID technology allows KYLUS to find hidden items 500% faster. We put these features in an ecosystem that makes KYLUS scalable and available to customers as a SaaS subscription system, with installation and support services. After four years of research and development, we have a working prototype at hand that has to be validated at pilot scale. In the current project we aim to perform a feasibility study, within which we shall examine if KYLUS could be economically viable at global levels.

Creating environments that foster young people´s wellbeing is one of the current priorities for the European Union. Increasingly such efforts are conceptually framed through a focus on positive paradigms across the life course. Social science evidence indicates that supportive relationships with significant adults are important determinants of young people’s wellbeing and future life chances. Recently the significance of non-parental adults in shaping youth wellbeing has been examined. In this vein, WEY-CRISP focuses on the contribution of teachers to the construction and maintenance of wellbeing. Understanding the significance of teacher connectedness for youth has been constrained by inconsistencies in definitions and measures. Consequently, the character of the contribution of such relationships to wellbeing (from teachers as complementary sources of instrumental support to key mentors for youth) is also unclear. WEY-CRISP will: 1.Investigate the determinants of teacher connectedness and potential for being a protective health factor, including diverse groups of youth (ethnicity, age, gender) and different contexts e.g. low parental support. 2.Clarify on the nature of teacher connectedness and develop an effective measure for its assessment that taps into the main components for wellbeing. 3.Generate synergistic links between approaches in education and health research. The investigation will use a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative), including youth centred participatory research strategies. WEY-CRISP will link with a multidisciplinary, international network of experts on adolescence via the WHO (Europe) cross-national HBSC study, aiding in the maximization of the impact across the European Union and enhancing the European Research Area. The experienced researcher will access significant methodological training and career development opportunities including leadership skills via engagement with policy makers and researchers.

The global aim of PREVENT Pre-Commercial Procurement is to augment the security in public transport through innovative procurement of technology solutions. The proposed technologies will endow Public Transport Operators with solutions enhancing security situational awareness through: i) Timely automatic detection of potentially dangerous unattended items in Public Transport Infrastructure and in public areas in the vicinity; ii) Identification and tracking of perpetrators; and iii) Advanced crisis management system. The PREVENT PCP project builds on the outcomes of its predecessor PREVENT, and it continues the top-down approach that allowed consolidating commonly agreed scenarios, covering the critical security issues down to a detailed identification of the complete set of innovation needs, both at process and technology levels, to ease coordination across the full chain of stakeholders, from transport operators to security forces and public authorities. Therefore, the need for innovative solutions stems from a longer collaboration and is driven by commonly identified internal needs to improve the quality and efficiency of pre-empting terrorist attacks. The project will conduct a phased Pre-Commercial Procurement composed of: Phase 1: To finalise the tendering documents package already prepared under PREVENT CAS; Phase 2: To implement the call for tenders for research and development services; Phase 3: To conduct the competitive development of the prototypes following the PCP principles (design stage, integration & technical verification stage and validation in real environment stage); Phase 4: To consolidate the results of the evaluation of the developed prototypes, extract conclusions and recommendations from the validation process, and to define a clear strategy for the further uptake of solutions. PREVENT PCP involve 13 public buyers coming from 6 different EU countries and will validate 2 different prototypes in 4 pilots: France, Spain, Portugal and Greece.

Panatomy: Revolutionizing radiology through digital diagnoses Panatomy is a breakthrough support software program for medical imaging specialists, providing the first interactive image-based diagnostic reference system for radiology. By increasing diagnosis speed, Panatomy boosts doctors’ capacities and saves lives. Across all medical fields there is an increasing demand for visual diagnostics including CT and MRI scans, resulting in waiting lists for radiologic services. But while most medical professions have a digital reference system, radiology does not. Instead, radiologists must rely on print-based books or text-based web databases to research and diagnose. Panatomy fills this void by providing an interactive viewer software tool connected to a state-of-the-art database with the most extensive library of pathological images to date. Using Panatomy, radiologists can simply compare a patient’s MRI or CT scan against images of anatomical structure and pathological case images. This enables radiologists to make faster and more accurate diagnoses, with an increased capacity of up to 15% in trials. Panatomy has been developed by a highly qualified team that includes medical doctors, lawyers, technologists and business experts based at the renowned Charite University Hospital in Berlin, home to the biggest radiology department in Europe. Panatomy will now undertake a feasibility study to prove the technical and commercial viability of the existing product, verify business assumptions, and plan for pan-European expansion. As a result, Panatomy will be positioned to exploit the full potential of its highly innovative product, and enhance the quality of radiologic health care across Europe and beyond.

Proposal summary (half page) The vision is firstly, to develop correlative tomography to radically increase the nature and level of information (morphological, structural and chemical) that can be obtained for a 3D volume of interest (VoI) deep within a material or component by coupling non-destructive (3D+time) X-ray tomography with destructive (3D) electron tomography and, secondly to exploit this new approach to shed light on damage accumulation processes arising under demanding conditions. Successful completion of this project will provide new 3D & 4D insights across many areas and yield key experimental data for multiscale models. Objective 1: To build the capability of correlative tomography - To connect platforms across scales and modalities in order to track a VoI that may be located deep below the surface and to combine multiple techniques within a single platform. - To add new facets to correlative tomography including + 3D chemical imaging + 3D crystal grain mapping + the local stress distribution + mechanical performance mapping at the VoI scale Objective 2: To apply it to gain new insights into damage accumulation Correlative tomography will provide a much richer multi-faceted hierarchical picture of materials behaviour from life science to food science from geology to cultural heritage. This project will focus specifically on identifying the nucleation, propagation and aggregation of damage processes in engineering materials. - We will identify and track the mechanisms that control the progressive degradation of conventional bulk engineering materials operating under demanding conditions. - We will examine the hierarchical strategies nature uses to control failure in natural materials through heterogeneous chemistry, morphology and properties. Alongside this we will examine the behaviour of man-made nano-structured analogues and whether we can exploit some of these strategies.

Synchrotron instrumentation plays a key role in the discovery of novel high performance materials. However, their application is limited to beam time available at large synchrotron facilities. The transfer of synchrotron based methods to a wider market of laboratory instrumentation poses significant market potential for SMEs and promotes accelerated materials discovery in industry. Responsive porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks are already recognized as highly selective adsorbents suitable to revolutionize separation processes by replacing established cryogenic distillation equipment in terms of enhanced energy efficiency and lower CO2 footprint. To unlock the potential of responsive porous adsorbents, industrial research departments, research institutes and academic institutions require advanced tools for analyzing dynamic solids in situ in the presence of gas mixtures in parallel to measuring mixture adsorption isotherms and diffraction patterns. DYNADIFF focuses on the development of an advanced adsorption chamber for parallelized (in situ) adsorption-diffraction analytics suitable for laboratory diffractometer adaption. The successful project completion will enable the commercialization of an advanced in situ instrument at reduced cost for laboratory use to promote the accelerated discovery and analysis of novel porous materials for highly selective and energy efficient gas separation processes and improved energy storage.

Today’s quantum computers are suffering from a very high error rate due to decoherence (i.e. loss of quantum information) in their qubits fabricated with superconductors junctions or semiconductors quantum dots. The goal of this proposal is to research radically new materials and architectures to build a “fault-tolerant” qubit device on Silicon substrate (i.e. scalable), that will be immune to decoherence problems. In NOTICE, we will design and synthetize novel crystalline perovskite materials, monolithically integrated on a Silicon substrate, with topological insulating properties to enable the generation of Majorana fermions at the heterointerface with a superconductor. The generated Majorana fermions will hold the quantum information in such “Majorana qubit” which will be resistant to noises and fluctuations due to the topology effect if stable and robust materials presenting the desired properties can be obtained. Bismuth-based perovskites were down-selected as topological insulator (BaBi(O,F)3) and superconductor ((Ba,K)BiO3) oxides due to the very strong Spin Orbit Coupling present in Bi which will favorize the efficient generation of Majorana fermions at the perfect (pristine) BaBi(O,F)3/(Ba,K)BiO3 heterointerface. With Molecular Beam Epitaxy growth approach together with advanced characterization techniques such as Angle-Resolved PhotoEmission Spectroscopy measurements and ab-initio simulations on the topological insulating properties of the perovskites, we aim to generate a stable topological interface leading to the efficient generation of Majorana fermions. This breakthrough will enable us to fabricate chiral Majorana devices on a Silicon technology platform, providing both reliability and manufacturing scalability. NOTICE results will pave the way to “fault-tolerant” qubit, bringing a paradigm shift in quantum computing by reducing drastically the gap between logical and physical qubits and the need for quantum error correction algorithms.
