In the LIV:IN project, major industry leaders from the ICT sector join forces to co-create more responsible approaches to innovation for the first time. LIV:IN builds on the premise that recognition of the value of RRI among industry is necessary for achieving the aim of the call “to progress further in integrating RRI in industrial contexts”. The project follows an opportunity oriented approach in order to (1) activate industry leaders, experts and citizens to experiment with responsible ways of co-creating innovations; (2) build capacity for RRI implementation and develop tools that are applicable across industry sectors; and (3) transform attitudes towards RRI from risk to opportunity. LIV:IN will demonstrate the added value of RRI in the area of smart future living. We carefully selected this application area because it directly impacts the lives of citizens (societal relevance) but also constitutes a major emerging market (business opportunity). The project includes four key features that will significantly enhance the quality of the proposed coordination and support activities. First, six LIV:IN Labs and a virtual community of practice will constitute the central spaces for experimentation with integrating RRI in industry, and, consequently, the development of new approaches to innovation. Second, the application and continuous improvement of RRI tools in these spaces will contribute to capacity-building among industry and citizens alike. Third, embedded audio-visual story-telling will be the main vehicle for disseminating results and for shifting attitudes towards RRI from risk to opportunity. Finally, continuous dialogue with earlier and present initiatives in the areas of RRI, CSR and open innovation will ensure the transferability of project results across industry sectors. Ultimately, LIV:IN is guided by its vision to become a flagship initiative for effective integration of RRI in industry.

Current utility PV installations require a large quantity of PV panels (semiconductors), space (land resources) and are consequently very capital intensive. RayGen offers a proprietary breakthrough utility scale solar energy technology that utilises a field of low cost heliostat collectors to concentrate sunlight onto an ultra-efficient multi-junction photovoltaic cell array located in a mast mounted central receiver. The technology combines the benefits of traditional PV with solar thermal energy installations and leverages several patents and trade secrets. The RayGen CSPV offers unique value to Energy Utility Companies and System integrators, such as 40% less collector area than CPV as well as 65% plant mass, performance 2.4x higher than conventional PV plants with only 0.1% of PV cells, cheaper and easier installation and maintenance, high reliability and most importantly capital expenditure 95% less than traditional PV. RayGen’s technology is also the leader in PV performance, since it presently holds (with the University of New South Wales, Australia) the world record solar system efficiency of 40.4%, independently verified by NREL. The technology has been validated with extensive lab tests and the Australian mother company is already testing the design in a pilot plant in Bridgewater Australia, supported by the Australian Government. The Phase 1 project will be focused on establishing a complete supply chain, a sound business model and commercialization strategy and to plan all activities for deploying a large scale pilot supported by a major energy utility company and partnering system integrator SMEs Nur Energie Ltd, Cautha Srl and Renience Srl.

Glaukos will develop innovative textile fibres and textile coatings that reconcile an excellent environmental performance with adequate technical characteristics. The focus lies on two important contributors to the (micro)plastic pollution in our oceans: fishing gear and clothing. The complete life cycle of these textiles will be redesigned: their sustainability performance (i.e. biodegradability and bio-recyclability) will be enhanced significantly, while their technical performance will be matched to end-user requirements. Glaukos builds upon i) triggerable biodegradability as key concept in polymer design to mitigate textile-based microplastics pollution, and ii) bio-recycling as sustainable end-of-life solution. In addition, the supply chain distance is substantially reduced by scaling up a disruptive way of producing the main polymer building block from several bio-based feedstocks. The underlying objective of Glaukos is to reduce the carbon and the plastic footprint of clothing and fishing gear. Stakeholder engagement is an integral part of the project: i) Stakeholder Labs will be set up to involve end-users from the clothing and fishing gear industry (e.g. to match technical requirements), ii) consumer awareness will be raised via e.g. influencer marketing, and iii) the fishing gear industry will be supported as regards to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) on fishing gear litter. New Life Cycle Assessment methods will be developed to better assess the plastic footprint of textile value chains. Finally, integrated methods to assess the biodegradability and ecotoxicity of microplastics in marine environments will be developed and their standardization initiated. (* Glaukos is the Greek sea god of fishermen. He was commonly believed to protect the oceans, as is the ambition of this project by developing innovative alternatives for textiles that are currently polluting our oceans.)

INTERSTRESS aims to design, develop and test an advanced ICT based solution for the assessment and treatment of psychological stress. The system will aim at (1) objective and quantitative assessment of symptoms using biosensors and behavioral analysis; (2) decision support for treatment planning through data fusion and detection algorithms; and (3) provision of warnings and motivating feedback to improve compliance and long-term outcome. To reach its goals the project will use a new concept for e-health - Interreality – integrating assessment and treatment within a hybrid, closed-loop empowering experience, bridging physical and virtual worlds: (a) behavior in the physical world influences the experience in the virtual world; (b) behavior in the virtual world influences the experience in the real world. This is achieved through: 1) 3D Shared Virtual Worlds – immersive (in the health care centre) or non immersive (at home) role-playing experiences in which one or more users interact with one another within a 3D world; 2) Bio and Activity Sensors (From the Real to the Virtual World): to track the emotional/health/activity status of the user and to influence his/her experience in the virtual world (aspect, activity and access); 3) Mobile Internet Appliances (From the Virtual to the Real World): the social and individual user activity in the virtual world has a direct link with the users’ life through a mobile phone/PDA. The clinical use of Interreality is based on a closed-loop concept that involves the use of technology for assessing, adjusting and/or modulating the emotional regulation of the patient, his/her coping skills and appraisal of the environment based upon a comparison of that patient’s behavioural and physiological responses with a training or performance criterion. The project will provide a proof of concept of the proposed system with validation in clinical settings guaranteed by the clinical expertise of the coordinator (HC research centre).

The overall objectives of the AQUTE project are A) To develop quantum technologies based on atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) systems for * scalable quantum computation; * entanglement-enabled technologies like metrology and sensing. B) To establish and exploit new interdisciplinary connections, coming from AMO physics, but also including concepts and experimental settings of solid state systems, in order to * reinforce interdisciplinary links at the frontiers of quantum information science, and other fields of physics or science in general; * conceive and realize novel hybrid systems that couple in a coherent way physically different quantum degrees of freedom. Obj. A will be pursued along two complementary directions: * a bottom-up approach, where individually trapped atomic particles are combined into elementary general-purpose quantum processors including qubit interconnects; * a top-down approach, where many-particle atomic systems are employed to realize special-purpose quantum processors, for instance quantum simulators. Groundbreaking work in qualitatively new directions is also needed to lay the foundations for the future attainment of scalable fault-tolerant architectures. AQUTE will thus also * investigate new experimental systems that have become available in the laboratory and are of direct relevance for QIFT; * optimize existing and develop novel theoretical concepts for quantum processing. Obj. B connects atomic quantum technologies for QIFT to a wider context, by * exploring hybrid approaches to QIFT beyond AMO physics; * improving connections between QIFT and science in general, following the emergence of a new quantum paradigm at the frontier of nanosciences and information sciences. These research lines determine the structuring of the AQUTE workplan into four deeply interrelated Sub-Projects: Entangling gates and quantum processors, Hybrid quantum systems and interconnects, Quantum Simulators and Quantum Technologies.

Mesoscopic description of physical processes in structural materials is one of the most challenging aspects of understanding their behavior as it is the regime where atomic length scales merge with those of the continuum. It is the least understood regime compared to the atomic and continuum scales because the simplifications and advantages of theory in handling small/large length scales and fast/slow time scales no longer apply. One of the most challenging problems that has not been solved to date is how correlated defect domains affect the microstructure on the mesoscale and thus also the physical properties of materials. This problem will be solved by combining the classical Landau theory of phase transitions with the seminal 1958 work of Kröner in which dislocations are viewed as sources of incompatibility of elastic strains. The coupling of the microstructure with the incompatibility of strains will give rise to a new framework for the study of such mesoscale phenomena. In this formalism point defects will reduce to a simpler case as their fields are irrotational and thus do not contribute to the incompatibility of strains. The mesoscopic framework that will be developed in this project will contribute significantly to bridging of the so-called micron gap in the description of physical processes in crystalline materials. The role of defects, interfaces and microstructure is at the heart of understanding materials from nanometers to microns and the unique approach proposed here will address this issue. Implementing this theory will yield a mesoscopic computational tool for solving the inverse problem - designing novel materials with prescribed properties, such as resistance to fatigue and radiation damage.

Visually disabled people have striking needs for trustful navigation systems enabling for efficient mobility services. Existing positioning and navigation technologies fail because they lack accuracy and reliability or rely on costly infrastructures. PERNASVIP aims to develop a GNSS-based mobility service dedicated to visually disabled pedestrians in urban environment, which meets the 4m level of accuracy and reliability they need for improving their day-to-day life autonomy. This 18-month project aims at enhancing an existing prototype of portable guiding device through the integration of EGNOS functionalities in order to increase positioning accuracy and integrity; to reduce the time to first fix; and to develop a multimodal routing travelling assistance tool. It will be implemented with six verifiable objectives: •Users’ requirements definition, with a particular attention to the “accuracy, reliability and service availability” targets •Enhancement of the existing portable device with EGNOS / EDAS data treatment filters and algorithms in order to locate visually disabled pedestrian in urban environments within a 4m accuracy, 95% of time, with less than 15 seconds of time to first fix •Development of multimodal itinerary computation algorithms which take into account walking constraints and optimization parameters of importance for visually impaired pedestrians •Design of the appropriate IT web-based service platform and associated data infrastructure in order to combine the application with multi-layer data content such as public transportation databases, GIS or users’ community geo-referenced information •Validation of the service by 30 users in two pilot cities with an objective of 75% satisfied users •Dissemination of the project results and conditions for a successful business model 10 years of cooperation between PERNASVIP project partners and major associations for visually impaired will provide access to this market of 13 million users.

More than 2,6 million people in Europe have problems with their upper limbs and therefore many of them depend on Assistive Technologies (AT). As the potential of the individual user is very specific, adaptive, ICT-based solutions are needed to let this population group participate in modern society. Such solutions are rarely available on today’s market. AsTeRICS will provide a flexible and affordable construction set for realising user driven AT by combining emerging sensor techniques like Brain-Computer Interfaces and computer vision with basic actuators. People with reduced motor capabilities will get a flexible and adaptable technology at hand which enables them to access the Human-Machine-Interfaces (HMI) at the standard desktop but in particular also of embedded systems like mobile phones or smart home devices. AsTeRICS will implement a set of building blocks for the realisation of AT: • Sensors which allow the individual to exploit any controllable body or mind activity for interacting with HMI • Actuators for interfacing to standard IT, to embedded systems and to interact with the environment • An Embedded Computing Platform that can be configured to combine sensors and actuators to tailored AT-solutions which support the full potential of an individual user The core of the software suite will be provided as Open Source. The complete system will be affordable for many people who cannot benefit from leading edge supportive tools today. AsTeRICS revolutionises the concept of AT: AT today mostly focuses on a certain task or situation. Due to the growing importance of the PC, AT has been oriented towards standard Human-Computer (HCI) or desktop interfaces. AsTeRICS respects the strong need for flexible, adaptable AT functionalities accompanying people with disabilities away from the desktop, enabling them to interact with a divers and fast changing set of deeply embedded devices in our modern environment.

The project aims at developing a European clinically oriented semantic-layered cancer digital model repository from existing EU projects that will be interoperable with the US grid enabled semantic-layered digital model repository platform at CViT.org (Center for the Development of a Virtual Tumor, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, USA) which is NIH/NCI-caGRID compatible. This interoperable, CViT interfaced, environment will offer a range of services to international cancer modelers, bio-researchers and eventually clinicians aimed at supporting both basic cancer quantitative research and individualized optimization of cancer treatment. This ‘Transatlantic’ project will therefore be the starting point for an international validation environment which will support joint applications, verification and validation of the clinical relevance of cancer models. To ensure the clinical relevance of this joint effort, the development of the project will be based upon specific clinical scenarios that will be implemented within an integrated EU-US workflow environment prototype for predictive, In Silico Oncology-guided clinical studies that will be deployed towards the end of the project. As an end result, a specific, clinically relevant workflow involving both EU and CViT models will be demonstrated, which will clearly highlight the need for and added value of interoperability. To achieve these goals, multiscale models/tools developed and data collected within the framework of three ongoing EC funded research projects namely ACGT [Advancing Clinicogenomic Trials on Cancer], ContraCancrum [Clinically Oriented Cancer Multilevel Modeling] and the VPH NoE [Virtual Physiological Human Network of Excellence], in conjunction with models and data from the NIH supported ICBP Program CViT.org will drive the development, optimization and validation of the integrated system. Thus, a new module of the VPH environment will emerge.
