Powerful tools provided by ICT software and hardware have revolutionised and, many would claim, democratised publishing, broadcasting and communications. Now, the same is happening to manufacturing as tangible objects are created and designed as virtual ‘bits’ which can be shared globally, but then reproduced as things which manifest themselves locally. This is the maker movement. MAKE-IT will study maker communities, both through ten different case studies and innovation action research, to enhance their use of Collective Awareness Platforms (CAPs). CAPs support maker communities and networks to innovate, design and make physical products based on peer collaboration and sharing. MAKE-IT, in which key maker platforms, technology firms and citizen communities participate, will focus on three perspectives: organisation and governance of the communities, their peer and collaborative activities and behaviour, and their economic and societal value and impact. Together, the findings will inform recommendations for the maker movement itself, and its implementation through CAPs, and be made assessable to many other CAPs uses, in areas like health, education and transport. MAKE-IT will also offer strategic advice for industry and give recommendations for national-level and European policy makers. A better understanding of how CAPs are central to the maker movement will enable more sustainable production and consumption patterns by generating awareness and by leveraging peer pressure for better lifestyles through behavioural and system change. It will also contribute directly to constructing a more circular economy by stimulating resource efficiency, re-using materials and energy, and re-designing production processes to move towards zero waste. CAPs-supported maker communities can create new types of jobs and new ways of working, both bottom-up and linking to smart industry, which are widely distributed across society both geographically and amongst the population.

The European robotics industry is moving towards a new generation of robots, based on safety in the workplace and the ability to work alongside humans. This new generation is paramount to making the factories of the future more cost-effective and restoring the competitiveness of the European manufacturing industry. However, the European manufacturing industry is facing the following challenges: (1) lack of adaptability, (2) lack of flexibility, and (3) lack of vertical integration. The proposed SYMBIO-TIC project addresses these important issues towards a safe, dynamic, intuitive and cost-effective working environment were immersive and symbiotic collaboration between human workers and robots can take place and bring significant benefits to robot-reluctant industries (where current tasks and processes are thought too complex to be automated). The benefits that the project can bring about include lower costs, increased safety, better working conditions and higher profitability through improved adaptability, flexibility, performance and seamless integration. This project is planned for 48 months with a consortium of 15 partners from 7 EU Member States.

In the future, high-efficiency (low CO2) vehicles will be powered in part by reinvented internal combustion (IC) engines that are “downsized” and operate with new combustion modes. These engine concepts are subject to problems such as increased transient heat transfer and flame quenching in small passages. Near-wall transient heat transfer is not well-understood in engine environments; the gas is not constant in pressure, temperature, or velocity such that physical processes quickly digress from established theory. EPIC is uniquely placed to address these problems. A novel constant-volume chamber, offering realistic engine passages but with optical access, and which emulates the pressure/temperature time curve of a real engine, will be developed. This chamber will make it possible to measure the highly transient and highly variable processes at the gas/wall interface (including a highly dynamic flame front) for single- and two-wall passages. Measurements will be made using a suite of advanced laser diagnostics; a novel aspect of the proposed work as they have not been used in combination to study such a problem before. Hybrid fs/ps rotational coherent Raman (i.e. CARS) in a line format will provide transient gas temperature and species profiles normal to the wall surface in high-risk/high-gain packages. PIV/PTV measurements will further elucidate flow dynamics at the surface. Planar OH-LIF will help interpret CARS measurements and provide necessary details of flame transport and quenching. As the flame approaches the surface, phosphor thermometry will measure wall temperature and heat flux to elucidate the highly dynamic inter-coupling between flame and wall. EPIC will provide substantial breakthroughs in knowledge by measuring unsteady boundary layer development and understanding its influence on flame quenching for single- and two-wall surfaces. As such, EPIC will provide the fundamental knowledge that supports cleaner combustion technology for the future.

KASKO is an innovative insurance technology SME pioneering the concept of “insurance as a service.” It connects digital marketplaces with insurance providers to offer highly tailored policies at the point of demand through easy-to-implement plug-ins. Consumers are increasingly going online to purchase goods and services. At the same time, the demand for insurance products has grown. EU non-life insurance premiums will grow from €455B in 2014 to €487B in 2020. Digital insurance transactions will grow at 10X the rate of standard products. But the EU insurance industry is not prepared for this digital disruption due to inflexible products, legacy IT systems, and inability to integrate with marketplaces. KASKO addresses these challenges by creating a software and business process that disrupts the model of insurance product creation and delivery. Using KASKO, online marketplaces can display a plug-in on their checkout pages with insurance offers from trusted providers generated in real time based on product and user behaviour data. This allows KASKO to offer highly relevant policies at lower costs at the right place and time. KASKO follows a B2B2C approach, targeting marketplaces within motor, e-commerce, banks, property and travel sectors, as well as a B2B model, targeting insurers to provide innovative policies. Marketplaces benefit from new revenue streams, insurers benefit from new sales channels and lower IT costs, and consumers benefit from tailored insurance products. By 2020 it aims to capture 0.045% of the €487B EU market, reaching an audience of 213 million consumers. This will result in €65 million revenues, €13.2 million EBITDA, and a workforce of 256. 4 integrations have already been launched, 25 more are in the pipeline. Proof of concept, demand and willingness to pay have been thoroughly demonstrated. The company was launched in London in 2015 by a team of experienced insurance industry experts. It is now applying for a feasibility study.

Investment into forestry is increasingly being recognised as a stable form of investment that offers guaranteed returns that are not dependent on the state of the economy. Returns from forestry are dependent solely on the growth and quality of the trees thus investors are shielded from economic factors such as inflation. However, the high initial investment capital required, lengthy asset maturity period of between 25 to 60 years and difficulty in converted the forest investment to cash prior to maturity, results in the forestry investment sector being dominated by large organisations and wealthy individuals. Small to medium investors are largely excluded from investment into forestry. Ekofolio is a FinTech company whose goal is to make forestry investment available to a wide variety of investors including the marginalised small and medium investors. Ekofolio is proposing a novel platform in which large forests are divided into small tradable tokens which allow small to medium investors purchasing shares in forests from as little as €50 per token. The token owner can either hold onto or sell the shares long before the trees mature thus introducing the aspect of liquidity which is currently lacking in forestry investment. We are targeting a wide spectrum of investors from small/medium and retail to large institutional and wealthy investors. We expect to reach a turnover of €52 million, with a Return on Investment (ROI) in excess of 10Xper Euro invested by 2024. Through this project, we will create more than 30 jobs within the forestry, Investments and Blockchain industries in addition to to the social benefits associated with the conservation of global natural forests through our sustainable forest investment program. Our forestry creation and management will cover nearly 100 thousand hectares of forest assets under management, enabling the sequestration of more than around 57 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2024.

One of the great challenges of the 21st century is to develop the capacity to prevent and react to outbreaks caused by highly pathogenic human and animal microorganisms, which are generally characterized by a high mortality rate, unavailability of prophylactics or effective therapeutic treatment and high human-to-human transmission. ERINHA AISBL (European Research Infrastructure on Highly Pathogenic Agents), a pan-European Research Infrastructure (RI) dedicated to the study of high-consequence pathogens of Risk Group 4 (RG4), entered into implementation phase in July 2017. It now aims to ensure its long-term sustainability to better answer societal challenges in the field of Science, Health and Security. The overall aim of the ERINHA-Advance project is to implement actions that will contribute to the long-term sustainability of the ERINHA RI, through enlargement of its membership and partnership and strengthening the overall services offer and framework by fostering the innovation potential of the RI. To reach these goals, the RI will focus on the following specific objectives: 1. Enlarge ERINHA’s membership and research capacities (WP2); 2. Improve users services (WP3); 3. Stimulate the innovation potential of ERINHA and identify the co-innovation opportunities with industry (WP4); 4. Strengthen the overall services framework through long-term data-management and data sharing rules, clarification of IPR regimes and definition and implementation of the quality assurance system of the RI and its national nodes (WP5); 5. Reinforce ERINHA’s European and International cooperation with relevant countries, initiatives and networks (WP2 and WP6). By achieving these objectives, ERINHA-Advance will largely contribute to providing access to larger number of high containment facilities to European and international scientists and foster research and innovation in the field of highly infectious diseases.

‘All architecture is political,’ claimed the architect Richard Rogers recently. The late Middle Ages, which witnessed incomparable levels of construction by civic and parochial authorities in towns and villages across Europe during a period of extraordinary social and economic change, provide an exceptional example of the political imperatives that drove architectural patronage. One such ‘building boom’ was in Vienna, where ecclesiastical bodies raised vast sums of money to create lasting monuments to their civic sophistication and religious devotion. These important creations took place, however, against a back drop of declining trade, dynastic violence and economic instability. Yet current scholarly approaches remain bounded by a focus on the archaeology, rather than the economics, of building work and an unwillingness to set local or regional trends in a European context. By contrast, this project will not only place at its centre the the social, economic and political conditions of medieval architectural production but also set it, for the first time, in a comparative transnational context. It will take as its subject the extraordinary surviving medieval building accounts available in Vienna's archives, exploring what they can tell us about the complex systems that directed construction and their interaction with contemporary urban politics and socioeconomic change. Its ambition is to explicate the social and political achievements that underpinned Vienna’s spectacular medieval heritage, to demonstrate, for the first time, how the organisation of construction was shaped by national borders, and to unite cutting-edge research by Austrian, German, British and American scholars.
