Peri-implant disease (Mucositis and peri-implantitis) is a major and growing clinical problem in odontology, affecting 20-40 mill. patients in Europe, and the double worldwide. Labrida has developed, clinically documented and CE marked a novel, patented (pending) maintenance device for non-surgical management of peri-implant disease. It is a revision brush (“BioClean”), with bioresorbable bristles made of mono-filament chitosan fibres (Patented by Medovent, DE). It offers safer, more effective, less painful and faster treatment of peri-implant disease, where currently the clinical community is in search for adequate solutions. The instrument addresses a market in the range of Euro 1-2 billion annual turnover. The device is in small scale production and sold commercially in Scandinavia (TRL 7), with most promising market response. To meet the market opportunity, we will develop up-scaled production processes of advanced chitosan fibres, which is critical to increase overall production requirements. In addition, we have started development with clinical pilot testing of the next generation product, comprising chitosan bristles combined with antibiotics, with interesting clinical results. This may open a broader application field for deployment of these combinations of materials technologies, both within odontology and wider in medicine. The overall planned project (Phase 2) comprises both industrial development of scaled up production technologies for the chitosan fibres of the currently marketed product , as well as development of the next generation product, combining advanced chitosan technologies with bioactive material, e.g. in nanospheres. In phase 1, we intend to refine the development plan of these product(s) for phase 2, including assessing more in detail the business case, and additional application areas, of the 2nd generation product.

Transnational and local im/mobilities affect migrants’ sense of belonging or ‘feeling at home’. Migration continues to dominate political debates in the EU with young male migrants playing centre stage in media representations and policy agendas and often portrayed as incompatible with and a threat to the fabric of European societies. Ireland is experiencing growing immigration (2017-18 net migration n=90,300, the highest since 2008) as well as an increase in the number of international students (10% of current Higher Education population), a number to escalate further after Brexit (March 2019). Despite these rapid changes, research on the experiences of home-making among young male migrants and their sense of belonging to society is consistently underdeveloped. YOUTH-HOME aims to conduct a rigorous comparative multistage study with young male migrants (18-25 year-old refugee youth and non-EU students) to understand the impact of domestic home-making on urban belonging in Cork and integration in Irish society. Using an intersectional feminist analysis, novel research methods and policy analysis, along with intensive training and career development, YOUTH-HOME positions the Researcher to make a unique contribution to knowledge and policy and to achieve professional maturity and independence. Home-making is complex and multi-dimensional. YOUTH-HOME applies innovative mixed methodology to capture migrant youth home-making practices and meaning-making through policy analysis, semi-structured interviews, photo-diaries of domestic spaces, walking interviews and co-creating a mobile ‘app’ about home-making in Cork. This preliminary in-depth study provides a critical understanding into the importance of 'home-making' to inform local, national and European policies on migrant youth integration and delivers a strong basis for larger studies in other European contexts. The extensive dissemination plan (academic, intersectoral, public) will ensure societal and European impact

While it’s widely accepted that energy efficiency investments are not only necessary from an environmental point of view but also convenient in terms of expected return and payback times, it’s still difficult to attract private finance that can boost the energy transition process on a large scale in the retail sector and supermarkets is just a good example of it. Of the total operating costs of a supermarket, which include purchasing merchandise, employee salaries, and more, energy can account for between 10% and 15%, which is huge for a business that operates such tight margins. SUPER-HEERO develops an innovative collaborative and scalable financial scheme based on i) Citizen financing through a crowd-funding/co-operative scheme building upon the loyalty programs in the supermarkets and implementing gamification strategies, ii) Strategic partnerships with ESCOs and utilities to support financially the energy efficiency investments on the basis of the benefits of engaging a large base of energy users through the supermarket co-operative program, iii_ Engagement of technology providers in performance-based schemes that allow them to profit from their products/technologies through innovative circular business models (e.g. leasing, Technology as a service) while making the technology more affordable and accessible for supermarket and similar business. In this way, SUPER-HEERO provides an instrument for supermarkets to access the much-needed funding that allows implementation of energy efficiency strategies and unlocks the potential of energy savings over 40%, which in turn would materialize in economic, social and environmental gains.

DALI aims at validating a virtual testing approach so that design and test loop can be shortened and tests can be partly replaced, applied on the development of future generation of compact heat exchangers, for the engine innovative bleed system; with higher requirements and thus damage probability. DALI proposes a fully integrated modelling platform where damage laws will be integrated relying on a multiphysics and multilevel modelling approach. A robust and reliable solution will be implemented based on an improved understanding of specific phenomena occurring during thermo mechanical ageing of heat exchanger in aircraft. The mainstream will enable to reproduce the thermal cycling ageing and its statistical probability by multiphysics simulations, and a set of master datasheets of fatigue curves and damage laws Manufacturing variability (local deformations, initial stress state), and other design variables will be included. The proposed validation scheme includes a set of details of increasing complexity where the simulation approach and the instrumented physical testing will be compared, and iteratively improved, so that real observations of cracking coming from Aircraft exploitation can be predicted. A representative coupon test plan and an innovative measurement to detect cracks initiation in non visible areas will be included. The prediction capacity will allow mastering the heat exchanger behaviour and the mean-time-between-failures, MTBF, to tailor the heat exchanger design, including sensitivity analysis for potential optimization. DALI stands on members’ skills and their cross advanced FEM knowledge capacities to enable a seamless technical coordination through the combination of customized experimental validation and advanced simulation so that a) an accelerated test approach can be implemented for in service life assurance, b) a degradation law that could be used in combination with a simplified and accurate simulations for future CHX precooler sizing.

The increased demand for drinking water from habited zones combined with continued pollution of freshwater sources due to inadequate collection and treatment of wastewater, is a statement of challenge and also a window of opportunity common to India and Europe. Unlike in Europe, the water and sanitation scenario in developing countries like in India is a matter of serious concern and more challenging. The main aim of this project is to validate, deploy or develop cost-effective & sustainable solutions to tackle water challenges and ensure the provision of safe water reuse, rejuvenate water quality of rivers, and restore ecosystems in India. This will be achieved by deploying & developing water / wastewater technologies, and use of sensors for emerging and traditional contaminants. Further, it also aims to develop new management & planning strategies and enable better monitoring of pollution levels in real-time modes. This will not only contribute to the development of sustainable technologies to cope with water shortages in rural and urbanised areas in India, but also in Europe, where climate change is expected to induce a changing and uncertain precipitation pattern and an enhancement in temperature. It will assess and enhance the potential of natural and technical water treatment systems to suit the local hydro-geological conditions. Moreover, the projects will assess and validate different wastewater and water management plans. Besides the technical aspects, research will also cover financial, environmental and institutional sustainability of those systems in order to develop and bring to the market a cost-efficient multi-barrier water management approach by building capacity.

With over 10M deaths and an annual cost of €199B, cancer poses an immense burden on individuals, healthcare, and society. To reduce cancer deaths, improve patients’ quality of life, and lower the economic cost, both early detection and treatment are key. Current methods for early cancer screening and minimal residual disease (MRD) testing include inconvenient and costly procedures such as mammograms, Pap smears, colonoscopies. Unfortunately, for the majority of cancers, no early detection method exists. Blood-based tests offer an attractive opportunity and receive major interest from the industry. Yet, no FDA-approved test for blood-based early cancer detection and MRD testing exists. The novel tests in development, focus on circulating tumor DNA detection. This is limited by low sensitivity, thus lacking clinical validity and utility. The breakthrough CellMate® innovation, fast-tracked to market entry in this FTI project, will fundamentally transform the standard of care for cancer detection. Incorporating the advanced IsoPic™ universal circulating tumor cell capturing, staining technology, and AI-powered bioinformatics workflow, CellMate® detects multiple types of early-stage cancer and MRD with 90% sensitivity. Additionally, the AI-driven decision support functionality enables informed clinical decisions, including personalized treatment suggestions. Based on only a single blood draw, the molecular details of the cancer are provided in 4 days. Technology partners iCellate and QIAGEN (global leader in bioinformatic analysis) team-up with UKSH, a leading oncology institute in Europe. Together we demonstrate CellMate®’s clinical and economic value in a study with breast, ovarian, and pancreatic patients. The extensive network of our consortium ensures a broad outreach to patients, clinicians, healthcare organizations. CellMate® benefits from a multi-billion-euro (>€2.2B) market opportunity that is growing with the cancer screening market rising to ~9B by 2030.

Among contemporary Sufi orders (mystical Islamic religious movements), a new political and theological tendency has been developed in the last decades: Sufi counter reformism. Which is a Muslim political-theological movement, inscribed by the Islamic tradition, open to democratic values, and in opposition to Islamic reformism and Islamism. My main hypothesis is that some Sufi orders are playing an important role in the expansion of democratic space in Europe and in the Maghreb. In this research, I will investigate the role of Sufi orders as political actors in Belgium, France, Morocco and Algeria. Sufi counter reformism offers new perspectives on the debate on Islam, democracy, and secularism. It will deconstruct the dichotomist perspective, which opposes secular and religious, private and public, and traditional and modern. We need empirical research on Islam, and in particular on Muslim politics, in this period of social and political tensions. Finally, this research will give more visibility to the organisations committed to improve democratic rights, by improving and creating new networks, and raising awareness about the debate on Islam and democracy. It will reduce the gap between institutions and citizens, through a better understanding of Islamic democratic engagement, in order to build a more trustful European society.

It is believed that solid-state perovskite solar cells (PSCs) will be the next generation of power source, contributing for fostering the use of photovoltaics in buildings’ roofs and facades. Actually, their transparency, various possibilities of colors and high kWh/nominal power ratio offer to PSCs an opportunity to conquer markets that are not attainable by traditional silicon solar cells. To turn this ambition to a marketable product several efforts are still needed and this project aims to give relevant answers to those key challenges. GOTSolar proposes disruptive approaches for the development of highly efficient, long-lasting and environmentally safe PSCs. Metal oxide scaffolds employing perovskites and pigment materials with extraordinary high-efficient light harvesters in conjunction with solid-state HTMs will be developed and assembled together. The obtained materials will be characterized to elucidate the interplay of the mesostructure, the perovskite absorber and the HTM layer. These measurements will be used to understand the circumstances electron and/or hole collection is favourable allowing the optimization of the whole device. This understanding and the developed materials will provide the tools to push the PV performance towards 24 % efficiency for lab-size (ca. 25 mm2) and stable for 500 h under 80 °C. In parallel, lead-free light absorbers will be developed aiming a power conversion efficiency of 16 %, also in lab-size cells. These high-efficient devices will be encapsulated using a new hermetically laser assisted glass encapsulation process to enable high-durability and tested under accelerated aging conditions. Following, a device of 10 × 10 cm2 will be built and used for demonstrating the scalability of the developments for producing the first perovskite solar module with potential for 20 years of lifetime.

The European transport manufacturing industries are currently well positioned with competitive products of high quality on the worldwide market. However, global economic shifts, societal trends and environmental challenges may put their leadership role into question. For companies and policy makers to anticipate the challenges, to identify conceivable enablers and hurdles for counteraction, and to conclude on effective push ore pull measures, the current state and the future development paths of the European transport manufacturing industries have to be thoroughly investigated. The Coordination and Support Action “Scoreboard of Competitiveness of the European Transport Manufacturing Industry” (SCORE) will explore, assess and forecast how progress in research and development, new innovative technologies and future demand changes in combination with forthcoming geopolitical and geo-economic developments will affect the global competitive position of the European transport manufacturing industry. The analyses will focus on the four major transport manufacturing industry’s segments automotive, aeronautical, ship-building and rail rolling stock, all for carriage of passengers and freight, and has a time horizon up to 2030 (and partly to 2050). Based on these assessments, several development scenarios will be elaborated in order to compare competitiveness evolution for each of the industry segments. The findings will be summarized and visualized in a so called scoreboard that indicates in an easily accessible way the current and future competitive position of the European transport manufacturing industries compared to their global rivals. Subsequently orientations for adjustments, changes, and expansions of corporate innovation, production and investment strategies, EU industrial competitiveness policies and other measures will be provided. For verification and validation, the SCORE project will seek extensively the assessments from an Industrial Advisory Board.
