HighMag proposes rechargeable magnesium batteries as sustainable, low-cost alternatives to Li-ion batteries using two cathode chemistries: a magnesium sulphur battery with a conversion cathode and a magnesium metal battery with an insertion cathode. HighMag will also develop a powder-based anode using protectively coated, Mg-based powder particles, that is compatible with both cathodes. HighMag will advance developments on the active materials, electrolyte, and components levels, to improve the performance of rechargeable magnesium batteries by incorporating electrocatalysts, stabilising the interphases, and applying protective coatings on the cathode and anode particles. In addition, HighMag will perform advanced characterisation at the bulk, surface, and gas-levels and introduce iterative feedback loops to contribute to the deep understanding of the structure-processing-property relationships for RMBs. HighMag not only focuses on technology development, but also addresses the sustainability and safety of the proposed materials and technologies. Comprehensive SSbD principles will be applied, and recycling strategies will be proposed, including design for recycling, during project implementation. Furthermore, due to the technological and scientific advancements proposed, the reversible magnesium batteries developed in HighMag will achieve an EUCAR level of 3 for mobility applications. HighMag also addresses the manufacturability of the proposed technological solutions by implementing aqueous-based electrode processing, performing compatibility assessments with existing lithium-ion production infrastructure. These procedures will be supplemented by developing business guidelines, that outline the optimal conditions for future scale up, and exploitation of the project results supporting the EU battery industry. Using the approaches and innovations, HighMag will credibly advance the Mg-based, generation 5 technology from TRL2 to TRL4.

One of the central keystones of the digital transformation of society is the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, however recent focus has turned to the energy consumption of the billions of IoT sensor nodes. In order for the realisation of a ‘Green IoT’, low-power sensor nodes are essential, to extend node lifetime, reduce carbon footprint and reduce costs. Spintronics is an emerging technology which has been demonstrated for several key functionalities associated with wireless sensor networks, including sensing, energy harvesting, communication, memories and novel processing paradigms. In SWAN-on-chip a spintronics wireless autonomous node (SWAN) is proposed for low-power edge computing. Three homogeneously CMOS integrated spin-chip modules will be developed and benchmarked in the context of low power IoT nodes (namely magnetic field sensor, wireless power transfer, wake-up receiver) (Objective 1), and these spin-chip modules will be brought together into a SWAN prototype functional demonstrator capable of real world data capture and used for specific end user test cases (i.e. electric vehicles and smart metering) (Objective 2). As well as developing individual spin-chips, a system-on-chip style SWAN-on-chip concept will be validated, with different spintronic functionalities being interconnected via CMOS, either by using multi-functional spintronic stacks or masking techniques to allow multiple spintronics technologies to be processed on a single CMOS wafer (Objective 3). In addition, the SWAN-on-chip concept will be used to validate the ‘spintronics technology accelerator’ platform, where the spintronics equivalent circuit models (Spin-EC) and spintronics multi-project wafer (Spin-MPW) will create a European-level pathway for the fabrication of monolithically integrated Spintronic/CMOS technologies required for boosting devices up the spintronics value chain (Objective 3).

The decarbonization of the energy sector to mitigate climate change is a key challenge for the European Union (EU). This mandates a rapid and widespread implementation of a clean and affordable energy infrastructure in which photovoltaics (PV) will be a main pillar. Currently, PV represents only a small fraction of the global energy supply and PV modules are almost exclusively imported from outside the EU, associated with supply risks and a high CO2-footprint. Emerging perovskite PV has a tremendous potential to overcome these issues and revolutionise the EU energy sector. To unfold this potential, the DIAMOND project joins 6 European leading universities (UGroningen, UUppsala, EPFL, URome-TV, UPorto, UMarburg), 2 research institutes (Fraunhofer ISE, CEA) and 4 industry partners (Dyenamo, BeDimensional, Solaronix, PixelVoltaic) from 7 different countries to develop ultra-stable, highly-efficient and low-cost perovskite PV with minimised environmental impact. To achieve stabilities far beyond all previous achievements of PV solar cells, the project targets to develop novel hermetic encapsulation approaches and highly stable device designs that are evaluated by standardized and novel stability assessment methods. DIAMOND also aims to optimise materials and cell stacks to reach efficiencies exceeding the record values of silicon PV. Fully printable module architectures are targeted for rapid industrial up-scaling, allowing for lowest manufacturing costs and local production in the EU. To minimise the ecological impact, specific device designs that enable lowest CO2-footprint, material criticality and toxicity together with enhanced recyclability are targeted. Combining these ambitions, DIAMOND strives to provide a strong impact on the EU’s future environmental, economic and societal development, paving the way for an EU-made sustainable energy technology with lowest CO2-footprint that ensures a full integration into the circular economy.

Batteries represent the present and future of our electrified society. One of the challenges within this field is ineffective battery thermal management (BTM), leading to device failure, limited performance, and lifetime reduction. BTM require a) effective dissipation of heat in warm environments to avoid thermal runaways, while b) the retention of heat in cold environments to avoid energy drops. This relates to the inevitable compromise of cooling (dissipate heat) and insulating (retain internal heat) in batteries depending on the needs. Current BTM are too bulky and provide mostly cooling capabilities, hampering batteries to perform optimally. Solid-state thermal modulators represent the ultimate solution for regulating batteries’ temperature. However, their performances and sizes are far from sufficient to deploy them for BTM. THERMO2DEAL aims to develop a novel interfacial thermal modulator that enables dynamic heat management in batteries to achieve nearly isothermal performance. We will develop specific types of large area 2D transitional metal carbides materials, i.e. MXenes, that will be tuned electrochemically to modulate their thermal properties. These MXenes will be the essence of a new thermal modulator design for facile integration in batteries. The scalability, its quickly and repeatedly toggle on and off, and its large hot to cold switching contrast makes it pioneer in the field. I will address scientific challenges in the synthesis of scalable and unique MXenes, demonstration of thermal tuning on them and their integration in pouch cells,e.g. basic battery stack units in cars or house appliances,for temperature modulation. Experiments and theory using a nano- to macro-scale approach will be used to overcome these challenges. This proposal will be a key stepping stone in developing advanced BTM for improved battery performance and lifetime. In the long term, this project will be at the frontier of new thermal technology for energy recovery or storage

FUTURAL aims to deliver a set of digital Smart Solutions (SS) under 5 Smart Solution domains to address pressing social and environmental challenges. An integrated metasearch platform providing a one-stop shop for SS will be the gateway to FUTURAL's solutions, enabling search and access to SS developed by similar initiatives. FUTURAL will prototype, test, pilot and demonstrate community-led social, technological and business innovations based on the proposed SS in six rural pilot areas in the EU, representing different geographical and socio-cultural contexts. An interdisciplinary consortium of partners and a multi-actor approach will pave a coherent path towards the FUTURAL innovations through joint actions and governance systems. FUTURAL will engage rural communities and pursue public-private interactions to develop new social practices that enable market adoption and widespread social change. A clearly outlined networking, EU-wide Rural Innovation Forum (EU-RIF), building on links with key organisations, networks, projects and initiatives within the European rural development ecosystem will also be developed. The project's Open Call will fund projects that will develop their own SS, based on the five FUTURAL SS domains, to be applied in other rural areas and be available on the project's metasearch platform. A vibrant and sustainable ecosystem will be created around FUTURAL to maximise the impact of the project. The broad application of the project innovations will be enabled through the creation of business models tailored to the needs of different rural contexts and social groups. Policy recommendations and governance frameworks will be co-created in multi-actor workshops in the project's EU-RIF to support, among others, the European Green Deal, the European Digital Strategy, the European Pillar of Social Rights and the EU's long-term vision for rural areas.

Infections are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Among these, tuberculosis (TB), malaria, HIV/AIDS and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are the main contributors to the global burden of disease, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where these chronic infections predominantly affect impoverished communities. Despite increasing evidence that these diseases affect the same populations and that interactions between them impact disease transmission and control, the complex, non-linear dynamics of co-infections with multiple NTDs, TB, malaria or HIV/AIDS, and the implications of these dynamics for disease control remain unknown. Therefore, in CoCoDyMo, we propose to integrate my deep expertise in data sciences, mathematical modelling of infectious diseases and health economics to gain novel insights into co-infections between NTDs, TB, malaria and HIV/AIDS and optimize the integrated control of these diseases. First, we will map, at a fine geographical scale across Sub-Saharan Africa, where NTDs, TB, malaria, and HIV/AIDS are likely to be co-infectious. Then, we will develop new methods to dynamically model relevant co-infections, to understand the life course history of co-infections, elucidate some of the biological questions surrounding the interactions between different pathogens, and how these influence disease progression and control. Finally, we will forecast future trends in disease transmission and evaluate the likely synergistic impact of different interventions (drug administration, vaccines, and surveys) across multiple diseases, both in terms of health and economic benefits. These efforts, at the frontier of infectious disease research, will provide novel insights into the fundamental biology of co-infections with NTDs, TB, malaria and HIV/AIDS and pave the way for exploring relevant policy questions around the integration of disease-specific programs into unified efforts that can maximize the benefits to vulnerable populations.

SafeHabitus will make farming a safer occupation. Farming is amongst the most dangerous jobs in Europe. European statistics show that the fatality rate in farming is 233% higher than other industries and the accident rate is 18% higher. These figures underestimate the scale of the problem as a significant proportion of farm workplace fatalities, injuries and ill health go unreported, un-investigated, and prevention approaches are not learned. Improving farmers’ and farm workers’ health and safety requires action by a range of stakeholders to empower and support them to change unsafe practices and adopt new, safer and healthier ways of working. SafeHabitus is a multi-actor project that has come together to strengthen Farm Health and Safety Knowledge Innovation Systems (FHS KIS) and support the EU transition to social sustainability in farming. Our premise is that driving health and safety on farms is not about dissemination but changing habitual practices. To achieve this, SafeHabitus applies a range of novel methods; digital story telling methods with people who experienced accidents; application of the multi-actor approach to co-design farm work risk management tools; foresight analysis; analyses of consumer willingness to pay for food production that protects health and safety; bench-marking policies and elite interviews with policy makers. Our consortia include end-users, stakeholders and researchers in case study Member States. These work together in ten national COPs covering a representative variety of countries and sectors. SafeHabitus also engages with European bodies and stakeholders who provide critical bridges between EU and national / regional actors and who can influence EU policy such as the Geopa (Copa-Cogeca), CEJA, EFFAT, Oxfam, SVLFG, and AEIDL. This multi-level and transnational approach will allow SafeHabitus advance safer practices on farms across the EU.

QuantERA III is aimed at strengthening Europe’s leadership in Quantum Technologies (QT) through a highly coordinated transnational approach. Building on the success of its predecessors, QuantERA III will subsidise cutting-edge research by launching a Cofunded Call for Proposals in 2025, backed by over €37 M in national contributions, targeting two critical areas: Quantum Phenomena and Resources and Applied Quantum Science. Additional €15 M of the EU contribution shall be allocated to both the Cofunded Call budget and the project tasks. By supporting projects that lay the foundations for future QT advancements and translating quantum science into practical applications, the Programme will catalyse new directions in the field, ensuring the EU’s leading status in this transformative technology sector. QuantERA III’s objectives align seamlessly with the EC’s Work Programme, as it seeks to address fragmentation in QT research across the European Research Area (ERA) and develop synergy in transnational research efforts. QuantERA III is designed to meet the highest standards of excellence, capitalising on the collective expertise and resources of 40 RFOs from 30 countries (incl. 14 Widening countries) – the Programme will achieve its objectives through a well-structured approach that leverages the unique strengths of each Consortium partner. It will explore further funding opportunities, continue mapping QT policies in Europe, address gender imbalance in QT, and – liaising with the Quantum Flagship and other stakeholders – engage with non-European countries to expand its reach and amplify its impact. The Consortium aims to build a sustainable vision for QuantERA beyond Horizon Europe, benefitting the entire ERA by enhancing Europe’s innovation capacity and maintaining its competitive edge on the global stage. Through its comprehensive framework of six Work Packages, the proposal ensures the realisation of its goals, aligning perfectly with the EC’s priorities for R&I.
