SATELLITE will function as anchor for the entire CIVITAS Network, coordinating and supporting ongoing and future CIVITAS2020 projects. SATELLITE will address the MG5.5b call topic by helping cities gain better access to innovative solutions to properly address transport challenges they are facing. SATELLITE will make sure the latest innovations resulting from European urban mobility research reach cities through adequate cross-project coordination and exchange mechanisms. For innovations to be properly scaled up, sufficient information on their actual impact is required. SATELLITE will further elaborate the CIVITAS Impact and Process Evaluation Framework and provide IA projects with support mechanisms to implement and apply this framework. Through capacity-building, SATELLITE will provide city practitioners with the necessary skills to apply innovations in their own context, while additional exchange activities will prepare for the actual transfer and take-up of these solutions through community building approaches where cities can learn from their peers. Moreover, the project enhances the direct exchange and cooperation between the public and private sector, offering a dedicated online marketplace for urban transport innovations. SATELLITE dissemination activities will promote CIVITAS successes and improve access to available solutions through a varied range of communication tools and activities. Structured networking among all CIVITAS Forum members, with the annual conference as main highlight and with strong links to CIVINETs will encourage lasting capitalisation of activities. Unique selling points include: functioning as bridge between past and future of CIVITAS; bringing research tools to a marketplace for improved application and accessibility; gathering leading European and international urban transport networks in one CIVITAS CSA for the first time; reaching beyond Europe to widen the impact of CIVITAS; preparing for a lasting legacy of CIVITAS innovations

With the term symbiosis, biologists describe any type of close and long-term interaction between different organisms. Life diversity and ecosystems completely rely on such interactions therefore, especially in such rapid change environment, it is of utmost importance to understand their complexity and resilience. Within this proposal, I aim to develop a new platforms to study these interactions in a spatially and chemically-controlled environment and manufacture a new class of hybrid materials: sym-BIonic matTEr. In specific, with the focus of light-matter interaction and I aim to (1) create controllable platforms where symbiosis with different organisms can be systematically supported and studied (2) develop and “evolve” new hybrid-symbiotic relationships where one of the organisms is replaced by an artificial material (3) exploit the newly created relationships in real application. I envision that such systems will be capable to combine functionalities from the living words (such as sensing and autonomous response) that otherwise are very challenging to achieve only with artificial materials. As an example, I foresee to obtain novel pigments capable to sense the environment by encapsulating in symbiotic-hydrogels bacteria colonies capable of making structural colours, or to achieve novel bio-photovoltaic and bio-photoreactors by optimising light delivery in the photosynthetic living elements and to expand their life by optimising the matrix that host them.

The global Oil and Gas Industry operates more than 7000 platforms worldwide. Almost all of them have already passed their design life and require condition assessment for the justification of extension of life. In addition floating equipment using mooring lines has faced considerable problems in the past 10 years. Over 185 mooring lines have been lost in this period creating a damage of over 1 million Euro each. The offshore wind industry has started to install thousands of structures offshore and require condition monitoring by law (i.e. HSB requirements in Germany). Condition monitoring using ambient vibrations has a good reputation onshore already. VCE has been one of the leading suppliers of these services for 20 years. A major opportunity, but also challenge, is to develop an autonomous, robust monitoring unit for offshore application. VCE is determined to develop such a device based on previous developments and experience.

Every year, 1.3 million Europeans have a stroke and one million ultimately die of stroke. One third of stroke patients remain dependent on the help of others. The annual costs for stroke care in Europe are estimated at € 64.1 billion. Stroke incidence increases almost exponentially with age, and the personal, societal, and economic burden of stroke is therefore largely driven by its frequent occurrence in the elderly. The elderly have been strongly underrepresented in previous stroke trials and treatment guidelines have no recommendations specific to this important group. Elderly patients are at the highest risk of complications after stroke, such as infections, fever, and dysphagia. These complications are strongly and independently associated with a higher risk of death or dependency. We will perform a pragmatic, randomised, open clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment in at least 2500 patients with acute stroke aged 66 years or older, to assess whether pharmacological prevention of infections and fever, and early management of dysphagia, will reduce the risk of death, poor functional outcome, and poor quality of life, and lead to reductions in the costs of stroke care throughout Europe. Patients will be randomised using a factorial design to preventive treatment for 4 days with ceftriaxone, paracetamol, and/or metoclopramide, or to ‘standard care’ alone. The primary outcome is functional outcome at 3 months, assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and analysed with ordinal logistic regression. The study will have 80% power to detect a statistically significant shift towards a favourable outcome, assuming a 5% absolute increase in the proportion of patients with a good outcome (mRS 0 to 2) in the intervention group, compared with controls. This simple, safe, and generally available treatment strategy has the potential to lead to an annual reduction of over 25 000 elderly Europeans being dead or dependent as a result of stroke, at very low costs.

Within the European Research Area (ERA), the ERA4CS Consortium is aiming to boost, research for Climate Services (CS), including climate adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk management, allowing regions, cities and key economic sectors to develop opportunities and strengthen Europe’s leadership. CS are seen by this consortium as driven by user demands to provide knowledge to face impacts of climate variability and change, as well as guidance both to researchers and decision‐makers in policy and business. ERA4CS will focus on the development of a “climate information translation” layer bridging “user communities” and “climate system sciences”. It implies the development of tools, methods, standards and quality control for reliable, qualified and tailored information required by the various field actors for smart decisions. ERA4CS will boost the JPI Climate initiative by mobilizing more countries, within EU Member States and Associated Countries, by involving both the research performing organizations (RPOs) and the research funding organizations (RFOs), the distinct national climate services and the various disciplines of academia, including Social Sciences and Humanities. ERA4CS will launch a joint transnational co-funded call, with over 16 countries and up to 75M€, with two complementary topics: (i) a “cash” topic, supported by 12 RFOs, on co-development for user needs and action-oriented projects; (ii) an “in-kind” topic, supported by 28 RPOs, on institutional integration of the research components of national CS. Finally, ERA4CS additional activities will initiate a strong partnership between JPI Climate and others key European and international initiatives (as Copernicus, KIC-Climate, JPIs, WMO/GFCS, Future Earth, Belmont Forum…) in order to work towards a common vision and a multiyear implementation strategy, including better co-alignment of national programs and activities up to 2020 and beyond.

All organisms in nature are targets for parasite attack. Over a century ago, it was first observed that symbiotic species living in hosts can provide a strong barrier against infection, beyond the host’s own defence responses. We now know that ‘protective’ microbial symbiont species are key components of plant, animal, and human microbiota, shaping host health in the face of parasite infection. I have shown that microbes can evolve within days to protect, providing the possibility that microbe-mediated defences can take-over from hosts in fighting with parasites over evolutionary time. This new discovery of an evolvable microbe-mediated defence challenges our fundamental understanding of the host-parasite relationship. Here, I will use a novel nematode-microbe interaction, an experimental evolution approach, and assays of phenotypic and genomic changes (the latter using state-of-the-art sequencing and CRISPR-Cas9 technologies) to generate new insights into the drivers and consequences of coevolving protective symbioses. Specifically, the objectives are to test: (i) the ability of microbe-mediated protection to evolve more rapidly than host-encoded resistance, (ii) the impacts of evolvable protective microbes on host-parasite coevolution, and the effect of community complexity, in the form of (iii) parasite and (iv) within-host microbial heterogeneity, in shaping host-protective microbe coevolution from scratch. Together, these objectives will generate a new, synthetic understanding of how protective symbioses evolve and influence host resistance and parasite infectivity, with far-reaching implications for tackling coevolution in communities.

Corrosion of transported goods causes economic damage of more than 3% of the world’s gross domestic product according to the World Corrosion Organization. During transport and storage cargo is prone to temperature fluctuations, humidity and oxygen yielding the risk of corrosion. Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) protect goods from corrosion. Nowadays VCI substances are based on hazardous amines, nitrites, benzotriazol or tolyltriazol forming nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Concurrently legal environmental protection standards and the consumer and producer awareness for a sustainable environment increase. Another disadvantage of today’s VCI-active substances is, that they have to be applied on the corrosion protection paper after the paper production instead of being incorporated during the production process. In addition for each metal class, i.e. cast iron, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, a special VCI blend is necessary. Applying the wrong paper for the product to be protected represents a deleterious corrosion surface and causes damage. Manufacturers and logistics companies aim for a reliable, sustainable and all-for-one anti-corrosion packaging paper at cost-efficient prices. Corrolytic’s innovation, the novel VCI paper COPROcell, is the first green corrosion protection paper doing without toxic substances unifying corrosion protection of all metal classes in one product. In Phase 1 Corrolytic explores the technical and commercial feasibility and compatibility of COPROcell. In the project the basis is set to bring COPROcell to the market. Focus will lie on the IP assessment and management. We intend to conduct market studies and technological improvements. Corrolytic is a pioneer in green VCI technology with outstanding technological and commercial experience and an extensive stakeholder network. The ambitious start-up developed six products in the past two years and holds several utility models.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a heterogeneous set of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication and reciprocal interactions, as well as stereotypic behaviours. Although early diagnosis followed by appropriate intervention appears to offer the best chance for significant health improvement and economic gain, diagnosis of autism remains complex and often difficult to obtain. Recent identification of atypical kinematic patterns in children and infants at increased risk for ASDs provides new insights into autism diagnostic and objective profiling. KiD intends to help move these insights into the development of a low cost, easy-to-use, yet reliable wearable tracking system, designed to assist detection and classification of ASDs. The novelty of KiD is to combine informed development of machine learning methods to classify kinematic data with a co-design human factor engineering. KiD holds great potential for translational possibilities into autism clinical practice. The main use of the device will be to assist clinicians to achieve expedited diagnosis, ensuring early and timely access of children at risk of autism to evidence-based intervention programs. Another use will be to examine the quantitative nature of autistic traits, enabling new forms of precision-phenotyping, which is potentially useful for stratifying patients with ASD and developing individualized treatment approaches.

Today globalization, the integration of the world's economies, is blamed for crises of corporate excess, gaping economic inequality and revived populist nationalisms; to understand its complex history is more pressing than ever. ECOINT advances an innovative approach to the study of the struggles over economic ideas that have fashioned the paths to globalization. It shifts our focus from international economic thought as an unanchored field of ideas, to ‘international economic thinking’, generated in and through institutional sites distinctive to the 20th century: intergovernmental organisations and associated international non-governmental organisations. ECOINT adds to the history of globalization important but understudied economic thinkers, namely mid-level and ‘non-intellectual’ intellectuals, many of them women, working with and in these organizations, from 1919 until 2001. Hence, ECOINT provides a nuanced history of twentieth century international economic thinking and imaginaries, while making a unique contribution to understanding of the international 20th century. Above and beyond, ECOINT will ask: What difference did women economic thinkers make in the course of globalization? And what was the role of business, operating through INGOs? Using largely neglected private and public archives, ECOINT will produce a capstone global history of international economic thinking, and social history of women economic thinkers in international institutions. It will capture the extent and breadth of international economic thinking at major IGOs— particularly the UN Regional Economic Commissions in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific, and Africa—and the INGOs the International Federation of Business and Professional Women and International Chamber of Commerce. Within five years, ECOINT will have mapped the range of international economic thinking, the impact of women and business in the complex history of globalization.
