IWG5’s brief is to deliver the Implementation Plan on energy-efficient solutions for buildings, requiring Member States to put in place measures favouring both innovation in building design and energy technologies for buildings, and the uptake of these technologies by builders. EURAC will offer scientific support establish the performance of eco-building technologies today and assist the IWG5 in setting realistic but ambitious performance targets, then monitoring progress towards them. WIP will organise study tours to buildings that set the standard in eco-renovation or construction. These will be opportunities for IWG5 members to meet the actors responsible and the people who live in or near them to collect their views. ECTP and EUREC will focus on informing IWG5 of the latest thinking around eco-buildings coming from lobbies (NGOs, associations, public authorities, leaders of initiatives like the Mission for 100 Climate-neutral Cities by 2030) and building bridges to the thinkers in those lobbies. Digitisation is a major theme coming in the new proposed EPBD. We will align the EPBD’s innovation-related comitology committees with IWG5. Fed with ideas, quantitative analysis and with white papers produced by Task Forces tackling specific innovation-related topics, the IWG5 will update its Implementation Plan. A new release will come every year and be given lots of publicity. The IWG5 members will be invited to promote it within their ministries, in order to deliver it with appropriate national policies. IWG5-CSA will play close attention to the revision of National Energy and Climate Plans in 2023 (a joint activity with ETIPs) and, depending on the final legislated EPBD, National Building Renovation Plans in 2024. These plans are where Member States lay out the policies to reach their targets. We will work for take-up by countries of each other’s good ideas.

The BRIDGITISE doctoral network will focus on the digitalisation of bridge management across the lifecycle through the development of innovative approaches to information management. The basic idea underlying the project is that the achievement of excellence in this field requires the development and validation onsite of innovative technologies for the cost-effective management of bridge information and their use to support decisions relevant to bridge integrity management across the lifecycle. To this aim, a network of 15+1 PhD projects is structured around three main research and training clusters focused on the development and validation of: -innovative low-cost, large scale and automatic technologies, to collect bridge information - Artificial Intelligence and IoT technologies specifically tailored to bridges to process and share information, - digital decision support tools able to manage bridges across their lifecycle The project will combine the expertise of six universities, one research center, and seventeen industrial companies and end-users who will provide case studies to apply and validate the project results thereby fostering the technological transfer of the research findings. This powerful combination of expertise from industry and academia will introduce the DCs to the topics of the project and add to their inter-sectoral employability, enabling Europe to build world-class competitive capacity in a strategic market. Deliverables of the BRIDGITISE DN will be technology-enhanced training and dissemination tools, international workshops, and Training Schools. Furthermore, an Open platform for sharing data related to bridge management will be built to develop collaborative and information-sharing skills of the DCs and to increase the impact of the project.

High-energy physics is headed for an impasse: the next particle collider will cost several billion euros, and while designs have been ready for a decade, they are so expensive that no host country has come forward—a problem that will soon impact progress in the field. Plasma acceleration is a novel technology promising to fix this issue—with accelerating fields 1000 times larger than in conventional machines, the size and cost of future accelerators can be drastically reduced. However, there is a gap between what current plasma accelerators can do and what the next collider requires. Therefore, a recent R&D roadmap (European Strategy for Particle Physics) calls for intensified plasma-accelerator research, as well as an intermediate demonstrator facility. SPARTA tackles two basic problems in plasma acceleration: to reach high energy by connecting multiple accelerator stages without degrading the accelerated beam, and to do so in a stable manner. Access to stable, high-energy electron beams at a fraction of today’s cost will enable ground-breaking advances in strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SFQED), an important near-term experiment that doubles as a demo facility. I have proposed two concepts for overcoming these problems: nonlinear plasma lenses for transport between stages, and a new mechanism for self-stabilization. Can these concepts be realized in practice? Making use of numerical simulations and beam-based experiments at international accelerator labs, this project has 3 objectives: 1. Develop nonlinear plasma lenses experimentally; 2. Investigate self-stabilization, theoretically and experimentally; 3. Design a plasma-accelerator facility for SFQED. Reaching this goal will not only impact high-energy physics, producing advances in SFQED and as a major step toward realizing a collider, but also society at large: applications of high-energy electrons, from bright x-ray beams to advanced cancer treatments, will all become significantly more affordable.

Over half of 6 million global annual pediatric deaths are attributable to low quality care caused by shortage of staff, lack of adequate equipment. Effective and affordable treatments are available but cannot be administered in time because health systems are overstretched and health workers overburdened. To address these challenges, GOAL 3 has developed the IMPALA system. A combination of the IMPALA monitoring device for continuous monitoring of vital signs which is wirelessly connected to the IMPALA software that enables health workers to manage and monitor their patients better in a resource constrained environment. The overall aim of the IMPALA solution is to facilitate a transition from reactive care to proactive care in a technology enabled approach that helps to generate actionable insights at the clinical, facility management and program management level. It is delivered in a strong implementation approach together with local implementing partners. This contributes to: - Improved quality of care by improved patient monitoring and by providing decision support - Reduced mortality through improved risk stratification, early detection and management of life-threatening conditions supported by the app with a central patient overview; - Reduced costs and admission time to the health system and patients by enabling faster recovery through early intervention and discharge; - Reduced workload by a) automation, b) task redistribution, c) improved availability and insights into relevant data and d) lower bed-occupancy rate due to reduced admission time; - Increased availability of management information and quality improvement purposes at facility, regional, national and international level. The system is currently used in 5 facilities. In the first site in Malawi where it is piloted we identified a 59% drop in mortality and a 16% reduction in admission time. Through our blended business model it is financially accessible, sustainable and scalable.

The secco recitative: those moments of sung speech where virtually all of an opera's dialogue and drama occurs and only occasional bass notes are written as accompaniment. Currently, these recitatives are often sped through or eliminated altogether. This research project will bring back the dramatic and artistic importance of the secco recitative genre in operas from a relatively neglected period in operatic performance practice research: 1740 to1840. It proposes a thorough investigation of the historically appropriate acting, declamatory, and gestural techniques which were specific to the genre and much appreciated by audiences of the period. Furthermore, it includes practice-led experimentation where the singer/actors can adopt these techniques and interact with different historically informed continuo-playing instruments and their harmonic improvisations. Previous researchers have investigated historical acting and gesture in baroque opera (Andrew Laurence King, Sigrid T’Hooft, Vincent Dumestre, Drottningholms Slottstheater) but they did not specifically focus on the recitative genre, nor did they deal with opera from later periods. Other researchers have investigated the role of harmonic improvisation in recitative accompaniment by cellists in earlier times (Walden, Whittaker, Bacciagaluppi, Suckling, Metzger) but they did not explore how these improvisations influenced and were influenced by the gestural and acting techniques employed on stage. We are convinced that such historically informed, artistic experimentation will result in new, compelling recitative practice. Such highly improvised and interactive interpretations would vary significantly from performance to performance and would draw in the public through their dramatic novelty and variety. This will not only change the public’s appreciation of the recitative, but also alter their understanding of the aria that follows, enhancing modern appreciation of late classical and early romantic opera.

The ICEBERG project has a two-fold aim: to comprehensively assess sources, types, distributions, and impacts of pollution in combination with chronic climate-induced stressors on ecosystems and communities in the European Arctic's land-ocean continuum using a One Health approach, and to develop strategies for enhancing community-led resilience, as well as pollution-control governance. To this end, the project focusses on three (sub)regional case studies: western Svalbard, southern Greenland, and northern Iceland. ICEBERG investigates known and emerging pollutants, including macro-, micro, nanoplastics, ship emissions, wastewater, persistent organic pollutants (Dioxins, PCBs, PFAS, PAHs, old and new generation pesticides), and terrigenous elements (heavy metals). To assess the effects of pollutant discharges from Arctic ship traffic, freshwater discharge/cryosphere meltwater, wastewater, and land-based atmospheric pollution on the marine food web the project is using model simulations and complementing these with remote sensing, in-situ observations, and measurements. ICEBERG analyses the sanitary quality of the food chain by characterising chemical contaminants using an exposomics approach, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic impacts of Climate Change and pollution on human health. It evaluates toxicological impact of micro- and nano-plastics and POPs on human digestive health. The project develops automatic marine litter detection tools combining use of drones, AI and citizen science. ICEBERG champions multi-stakeholder and gender-based approaches to assess the impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities on Indigenous and local communities and co-create scenarios of change. Scenario modelling is used to co-design local pollution-control strategies, which includes both mitigation (reducing pollution) and adaptation (reducing vulnerability to pollution). ICEBERG creates novel governance approaches pollution-control in the Arctic at multiple scales.

SRDDRM will provide the very first comprehensive, substantive research output on the attribution of state responsibility for the death and disappearance of refugees and migrants. Despite it being a critical question of public international law (“PIL”), international refugee law (“IRL”), international human rights law (“IHRL”), international law on human trafficking, international migration law, and law of diplomatic and consular protection, a singular authoritative legal source on SRDDRM does not currently exist. Though several resources have been published that address SRDDRM directly, none comprehensively map the legal framework relative to it or incorporate extensive case studies. As a result, no single source exists in international law to determine the rules of attribution of international responsibility, relative to deaths and disappearances of refugees and migrants. SRDDRM will fill this gap. It will provide a single comprehensive source of international law, based on extensive original research in critical geographic locations where deaths and disappearances of refugees and migrants occur at an extremely high rate. These include the Darién Gap separating Colombia and Panama, the US-Mexico border, the Channel Crossing between France and the United Kingdom, the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, and the three most common Mediterranean Crossings between Morocco and Spain, Libya and Italy, and Turkey and Greece/Cyprus. Supervised by Professor Siobhán Mullally – Director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights and current UN Special Rapporteur for trafficking in persons – the researcher, a doctor of PIL with specialisation in IRL and state responsibility, will undertake SRDDRM at the host institution, University of Galway, who has successfully hosted 30 Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowships in Horizon 2020 and is currently hosting 9 Horizon Europe fellowships.

Wear and corrosion protection play a crucial role in the effort of European Manufacturing Industries to maximise both efficiency and productivity because they are inherently related to the lifetime of the components and their manufacturing cost. Thermal Spray technologies for the deposition of Hardmetals were developed for this reason, i.e., specifically to provide higher resistance to sliding and abrasive wear, coupled with good corrosion resistance. In this field innovation is based on experimental trial-and-error and operational feedback, because the equations that can model the coating performance have to consider the mechanical properties of the hard phase and those of the metal binder, their microstructure and interaction, and their evolution during the non-equilibrium Thermal Spray process. The final coating properties depend on all these factors and more, and they are too many for a physical modelling workflow to provide reliable results on a time scale that is compliant with industrial responses to fluctuating markets, supply chains and regulations. On the other hand, tools based on experimental data that rely only on final coating macro properties require extensive datasets to be reliable. This again conflicts with the response time required by industrial innovation. Moreover, innovation in coating technology is not just a matter of performance and costs: industrial companies have to consider multiple other factors such as the impact on workers, hidden regulatory costs, environmental protection costs, and also general public opinion. CoBRAIN offers a solution to this need, exploiting the integration of computational and experimental data through semantic interoperability, and developing an intelligent tool that will be able to propose novel materials from the class of High Entropy Hardmetals for direct deposition by HVOF, HVAF and CGS Thermal Spray, and capable to estimate their impact on the economy and the environment.

In UniBoGas my aim is to prove universal expansion formulas for the low energy levels of the dilute Bose gases, showing their dependence on just one parameter, namely the scattering length of the potentials between the particles. I am going to work out to which order of precision of the expansion the universal description still holds, and for which kind of systems. The classification of the systems that satisfy the universality is obtained through studying the expansions in three directions by paradigmatic examples: I am going to evaluate the energy for systems with potentials with repulsive and attractive parts, I am going to approximate the energy of systems composed by two kinds of bosons by the energy of effective non-linear models and I am going to evaluate the low energy levels of the hard-spheres (hard-core potential) system. The methodology used includes both the improvement of pre-existing techniques in the Bogolubov Theory and the introduction of new methods of localization, Semi-Classical Analysis and variational methods. Other than on Mathematical Physics, the results of UniBoGas will have an impact also on disciplines like Functional Analysis, Experimental Physics and Quantum Chemistry for the Bose gases and will contribute to further understand the phenomenon of Bose Einstein Condensation.
