Offshore wind generation is critical to realizing the European Green Deal and the broader EU ambition to reach climate-neutrality by 2050. A third of all the offshore capacity installed could be floating since this technology unlocks wind potential in deeper waters at greater distances offshore. Technological trends have advanced towards high-voltage direct current (HVDC) as a mature solution over long-distance transmission. Dynamic export cables float in the water and carry power from the moving platform to the grid. A key challenge is these cables need to accommodate combined electro-mechanical-thermal stresses. No HVDC dynamic export cables currently exist and industry views this as a critical bottleneck for floating offshore wind development. Therefore, this is a key enabling technology for secure grid integration of large-scale and long-distance floating offshore wind power plants. HVDC dynamic cables for floating offshore applications present unique challenges and risks from technical, environmental, operational, and economical perspectives. To address these complex inter-disciplinary issues, this project brings together a consortium from academic experts, manufacturers, users, and insurance advisors. The project will: (i) validate the insulation reliability of a new dynamic HVDC export cable, (ii) establish fundamental understanding of combined electro-mechanical-thermal aging mechanisms, facilitating the development of test protocols that qualify and verify the integrity of HVDC dynamic cables, (iii) identify routes for material sustainability for the cable to meet the EU’s circular economy ambitions, and (iv) use the underpinning technical knowledge gained to reduce risk and build confidence for deploying the new cable technology and thus enhancing the insurability and financial viability of future floating offshore infrastructure. As a result, a prototype 320 kV dynamic HVDC export cable core will be designed, manufactured, and validated in this project.

Nano-opto-electro-mechanics (NOEMS) is an emerging field with unparalleled prospects for the design of efficient and low-power devices for ICT. However, to capitalize NOEMS potential, a flexible and up-scalable technology platform must be established, preferably based on current microelectronic technology. MAGNIFIC aims at filling this gap focusing on nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si), only recently used in NOEMS with very promising results, and its integration with columnar aluminium nitride. Indeed, while nc-Si is widely used in MEMS production, the dynamics of such an optically and electrically active nanocrystalline material has barely been investigated, leaving fundamental gaps in the understanding of the interplay between electrons, phoTons and phoNons. In this context, we propose an up-scalable, cost efficient, room temperature and Si-compatible nano-opto-electro-mechanical platform for powering efficient communications technologies. The key challenge is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the static and dynamic material properties and their interdependence. In particular, understanding the role of nano-crystallites and grain boundaries in absorption and in dissipation mechanisms at the nanoscale is crucial for energy efficiency and for reliable performance as they are intrinsically linked to losses and variability. The aimed platform will provide a coherent interface between RF electronics and telecom-wavelength optics mediated by phoNons, able to provide different functionalities (local oscillation, frequency conversion, modulation) in highly compact, energy efficient devices. The project starts at TRL3, achieved via two previous EC projects, and brings the system to TRL5 realizing devices and circuits, suitably packaged, and environmentally tested with RF frequencies in the 3-12 GHz range. This will allow to cover a broad variety of ICT applications including pervasive wireless networks (5G and beyond), smart cities, IoT and satellite communications.

The matching of the SMEFT onto the WET, i.e. expressing the WET parameters in terms of the SMEFT Wilson coefficients, is known since recently up to the one-loop level. These matching conditions depend however on unphysical entities and can therefore not be used in a consistent phenomenological analysis. In order to remove this scheme dependence the two-loop renormalization of the WET parameters needs to be taken into account, since it cancels this scheme dependence and therefore makes the results physical again. One objective of the current research project is to compute the full two-loop renormalization of the WET Wilson coefficients and implement the results in the public code wilson. A second objective of the research project is to conduct the full two-loop renormalization for the SMEFT parameters. Performing the two-loop renormalization is motivated by the fact that at this order many more SMEFT Wilson coefficients become phenomenologically accessible through running effects, which therefore allows for a broader and more precise NP search. Another goal of this computation is again to remove unphysical dependencies that are present in the matching conditions. Although the full one-loop matching from general BSM theories onto the SMEFT is currently unknown, it is, however, expected to be available in the very near future. Together with the proposed calculation these matching conditions can then be used to perform a consistent and completely general NLO analysis of SMEFT parameters.

The objective of the ResAlliance is to facilitate information and knowledge flow and increase the awareness, understanding and capacity of farmers and foresters on landscape resilience in Mediterranean countries. More specifically, ResAlliance will gather and assess knowledge and practice needs, gaps, barriers, solutions and good practices to achieve resilient landscapes, with special emphasis on measures against hazards caused by climate change. It will also prepare and facilitate stakeholder engagement through interactive and innovative participation methods. It will finally transfer the knowledge and activate regional landscape resilience governance, with special emphasis in five Mediterranean regions. ResAlliance will create and animate a Mediterranean thematic network on landscape resilience (“LandNet”) for forestry and agriculture. The LandNet will continuously identify, engage and grow new cooperation and networks to access, improve and increase the knowledge of solutions and good practices. The LandNet will prepare the context-specific knowledge and engage and train farmers, foresters and other key stakeholders for knowledge transfer of managerial, technological, financial or governance solutions. The work programme will allow capturing and interpreting most urgent needs while identifying and coupling unknown best practices in research and practice with these needs; compiling a comprehensive description of the state of current farming and forestry practices on landscape resilience to summarise and explain the added-value, the relevance and the cost/benefit aspects of the practices collected, avoiding duplication; delivering an extensive range of useful, applicable, appealing and easy-to-access material in many formats, including EIP-AGRI, EU FarmBook and existing dissemination channels most consulted by farmers and foresters in the countries; and building synergies with OGs and innovation groups from EIP-AGRI, and implement multi-actor approach.

The ICSE Science Factory supports the EU’s endeavor to combat a shortfall of scientists and citizens versed in science. It does so by offering a unique combination of different measures, each of them tackling the issue from a different starting point, thereby leveraging impact. The unique features of the ICSE Science Factory are, in a nutshell: • New high-capacity cross-sectoral partnerships in five partner countries consisting of science researchers, science education researchers and non-formal education providers, supported by attached schools, enterprises and community institutions. • Innovative concept to enlarge the number of scientists and scientific knowledge in the communities: 1.To strengthen the partnerships, we organise local partnership conventions, where we share and apply research findings, and local public fairs to integrate communities in the scientific learning process. 2.With the expertise of the local cross-sectoral partnership, in each country we offer collaborative and interdisciplinary lighthouse activities and open schooling activities for community members (on health, digitalisation, Green Deal), supported by mentoring. 3. All activities are complemented by a series of interactive career talks, focussing especially but not only on female role models in science and on overcoming stereotypes. • An educational, research-backed concept for our lighthouse and open schooling activities which deliberately includes real-life problem-solving on issues relevant to society (including decision-making), and the concept of challenge-driven innovation, which integrates communities in overcoming challenges. •The activities are supplemented by special features: The setting up of stimulating science labs in each country, a threefold system for encouraging mentoring across the partnership and a systematic approach to quality assurance by using design research, which strives for solutions tailored to local communities based on a joint European concept.

Nonlinear vibration theory witnessed extraordinary advances during the 20th century following Poincaré’s seminal work. Since the 1970s, impressive progress has been made in computational nonlinear dynamics with the development of nonlinear finite element methods and numerical continuation. Although not all challenges have been overcome yet, the theoretical understanding of nonlinear dynamical phenomena and their prediction using numerical models have reached a high level of maturity. Surprisingly, this progress has not significantly impacted engineering practice. Specifically, vibration testing in industry remains grounded in the assumption of linearity. Yet, under the rising pressure of high-performance and carbon-neutral designs, aerospace structures exploit advanced materials and are increasingly lighter and more flexible, with the consequence that nonlinearity is now ubiquitous. To fill the existing gap, a vibration testing strategy which can uncover the sometimes dangerous, sometimes beneficial nonlinear dynamics of engineering structures is urgently needed. The ENTIRE project proposes to leverage feedback control to pioneer a novel methodology able to identify experimentally - in a model-free, real-time and stability-guaranteed manner - the entire bifurcation diagram of a nonlinear system. This control-based method will be complemented by a data-driven, machine-learning-based approach. The potential of our developments will be demonstrated using real-life aerospace applications including turbojet engine components and a full-scale aircraft. Given the generic character of our methodology, applications in other areas of science and engineering will also be envisioned, e.g., in microresonators and in dress of physics such as optics. Eventually, ENTIRE will develop the first complete experimental counterpart to numerical continuation, hence leading to full mastery of the three facets of nonlinear vibration analysis, namely theory, simulation and testing.

People with mental illness may suffer a deterioration of their condition and develop a severe mental disorder, alongside other collateral factors such as eating disorders, sleep disturbance, risky sexual behaviours, but also lack of care and support from family and friends, disability employment and financial deficiency. When it comes to creating positive change, relevant health care services should call for better coordinated action. Collaborative care settings imply the coordination of health service providers in creating a holistic plan of care that promotes healthy choices and develop a well-connected support system that incorporate patients’ social and environmental contexts. However, creating synergies towards healthcare integrated solutions among different set of players in healthcare is complex. Community health centres, pro bono clinics, private foundations, not-for-profit organisations, etc., have different needs, capabilities, and priorities that non necessarily converge. Is it possible to predict and facilitate the emergence of partnerships among different mental health services? Which factors nurture trustworthy relationships and sustain collaboration? How their networking performance and collective action can be evaluated? These questions have been insufficiently examined because, the analysis of multilevel collaborative processes (i.e., referrals, resource sharing, joint interventions and campaigns, as well as trust relationships and affiliations between public and private service providers and key personnel) has yet to be undertaken. Using the Catalonia’s example as case study of co-governance approach for mental health, and rooted in network science and multilevel network analysis, this project seeks to understand and map health providers’ partnerships and networking initiatives for integrated mental healthcare, as a way to better tackle health inequalities by promoting mental wellbeing and community-based solutions.

WelFarmers will set up eight national innovation networks and four Europe-wide networks of pig farmers, advisors, veterinarians and researchers to address the challenges of the upcoming change in the European pig welfare legislation. WelFarmers will address four main topics: cage ban; keeping pigs with uncovered tails; avoiding pain during castration and space and flooring. The most urgent innovation needs and challenges will be identified in a bottom up way and the network will collect and evaluate good practices that meet these needs. WelFarmers will also strive to collaborate with existing and new EIP-AGRI operational groups (OGs) and EU research projects focused on pig welfare and to enhance their impact. The selected best practices will be disseminated through a series of communication and dissemination activities to reach most pig farmers in the eight participating countries and in Europe. EIP abstracts, thematic reports videos, brochures, e-news, national workshops, transnational cross-fertilisation events and a multilingual website are some of the dissemination methods planned to communicate and disseminate the best practices.
