Seismic changes in global geopolitics, the rapid rise of global production networks, increasing disputes surrounding trade integration initiatives and challenges to ensuring coherence across policy initiatives at EU and Member State level have made the pursuit of EU external policy objectives more complex. The overarching goal of RESPECT is to identify options and opportunities for better realizing the EU’s soft power in achieving its external policy objectives. It does so through rigorous empirical analysis of the effects of trade and trade policy on nontrade policy objectives (NTPOs) and the development of conceptual frameworks to inform the design of a more coherent external policy mix. Four broad objectives are pursued: (i) documenting the prevailing situation – the set of EU and Member State policies that together characterize the EU’s trade and investment-related policy regime; (ii) understanding the factors that influence the ability of different constellations of EU external policies to attain both trade goals and NTPOs; (iii) determining success factors for effective EU external policies; and (iv) developing practical, operationally feasible recommendations to redesign trade policy to promote better overall EU external policy objectives while recognizing the political economy incentives confronting key actors in and outside the EU. The project centres on in-depth, multi-disciplinary analyses based on methodological triangulation of the impacts of EU trade-related policies, broadly defined to include the investment policies and economic diplomacy activities of Member States. Pathways to impact centre on close involvement of policymakers responsible for – and affected by – EU trade in all stages of the project, a focus on the design of institutional arrangements to enhance the coherence of EU external policies, and structured deliberation with key EU institutions, including the European Parliament and stakeholder groups in and outside the EU.

In the railway industry, the average age of active rolling stock fleet worldwide is over 25 years. There are more than 300,000 passenger coaches in the world and over 84,000 in Europe (considering train, metro and light rail vehicles). In addition, train operators need to improve the quality of their services in order to satisfy the increasingly exigent standards and the demands from passengers for advanced travel information and comfort (location, train connections, time to destination, temperature, humidity, etc). These rising requirements are driving to the adoption of advanced Passenger Information Systems (PIS) which require appropriate bandwidth and reliability. Most of current coaches do not have the necessary networking infrastructure to provide modern PIS. On the other hand, current alternatives present significant drawbacks: Ethernet is a time consuming and expensive alternative to install and operate, while Wi-fi is not ready for its deployment due to its technical limitations (low reliability and insufficient bandwidth). NET4TRAIN is a novel communication networking solution for the railway industry that supports advanced PIS and on-board diagnosis specially designed for the revamping of aged trains. We offer a broadband network over existing cabling using Powerline communications and thus avoiding the installation of new cables. Therefore, our solution dramatically reduces costs and installation times compared to existing alternatives. Phase 1 execution will allow us to deepen into the critical data of each target market in order to establish the right entrance strategy, thereby defining our detailed commercialization plan. We will also guarantee the technical and commercial viability of the project in order to enhance European leadership in the railway sector with a very competitive product. NET4TRAIN presents an attractive Return On Investment, 2.97 in our fifth year of commercialization, and it reaches its payback within 16 months.

Crohn's disease is a Chronnic Inflammatory Bowel disease affecting over 1.4 million people worldwide. It is the fourth chronic condition impacting the most severely patients’ quality of life, ahead of cancer, visual impairments, and chronic respiratory conditions. Crohn’s disease is an intestinal disorder causing chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is mainly diagnosed in young people, from 15 to 40 years old. Patients experience excruciating symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, joints pain and swelling. In some cases, it may even be mortal. Besides this tremendous health impacts, the disease is associated with over €30 billion of annual costs. Exeliom Biosciences is an innovative French AME created in 2016 with a mission to bring a new life to Crohn’s Disease patients. The company is developing a game-changing drug, named EXL01, which relies on a unique commensal bacteria Faecalibacterium prausnitzi. Unlike current Crohn’s Disease treatments, EXL01 achieves long-term remission in mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease patients without any side effect. It will decrease the number of existing treatments which present a very bad benefit/risk ratio and strong costs in mild-to-moderate patients. Therefore, besides its tremendous health impact, EXL01 will decrease by several million direct and direct costs related to Crohn’s Disease. Exeliom Bioscience has built a team of 5 operational people, and board of 6 scientific and 5 business advisors. The company has also strong collaborations with key international centres and industrials. The company has its own manufacturing process to produce the drug substance and EXL01 has been tested in preclinical studies. Thanks to the EIC Accelerator, Exeliom will reach phase 2a clinical trial and scale-up its manufacturing process. Eventually, EIC Accelerator would place Exeliom on a trajectory to become a global leader in the treatment of Crohn’s Disease.

Main Purpose The project primary purpose is to prevent extremism, radicalisation and polarisation that can lead to violence through more effective social and education policies and interventions that target at risk groups to be performed through the establishment of a holistic framework and the engagement\involvment of social actors, local communities, civil society, and policymakers. Objectives and expected impact - to develop an holistic multidimensional model based on a participatory fieldwork and a mixed method approach, - analysing and discussing through an action research strategy involving young people in different side of Europe, the socio psychologic mechanisms that lead to extremism, radicalisation and polarisation, - to identify future perspectives and trends of hate speech, extremism and radicalisation, - developing communicative tools, education approaches and community-based strategies, - to improve the awareness of young people and communities as well as the society at whole, - to realize databases and a systematic set of indexes and early-warnings, - developing a set of policies recommendations with the participation of stakeholders, policy-makers and targets, Methodologies PARTICIPATION project starts to the assumption that broken a top-down approach in research and in preventive design is needed. In fact, an holistic approach leads to consider vulnerable people as protagonists of the research processes and as producers of knowledge on themselves, included the way and the strategies for preventing extremism and radicalisation. So, if a mixed method approach that combine qualitative and quantitative data is a fundamental methodological way in order to catch all the complexity of processes at micro, meso and macro levels, it will be linked to an action research approach, based on open discussion focus groups, traffic between researchers, stakeholders, practitioners and social actors (particularly young people for previous reasons).

The objective of the proposal is to form Wroclaw Centre of Excellence (WCE), by a close collaboration of Wroclaw University of Technology with National Centre for Research and Development, and German partners - Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology in Dresden and University of Würzburg, renowned science institutions. The vision of WCE includes innovative technology and device development on the state-of-the-art level, as well as economic activities through interactions with established Polish and European companies and the foundation of new spin-off companies. A special focus will be put on new materials, nanophotonics, additive laser-based technologies and new management organisation systems. Nanophotonics is chosen because it allows a wide variety of novel devices for e.g. sensing or optoelectronic applications. Developed materials allow for producing new products with novel functionalities, very often only possible with additive manufacturing technologies, including laser-assisted processes. Synergy between the nanophotonics and modern manufacturing technologies provides additional opportunities, e.g. for “smart” parts directly manufactured with embedded nanophotonic sensors. The objectives of the proposal will be achieved in two stages, first the detailed and robust Business Plan (BP) will be prepared, based on the expertise of all involved partners. In the second stage, the WCE will be established according to this BP. The Centre will be established in Wroclaw, Poland, eligible for participation in the programme as a low-performing country. The creation of the WCE will significantly enhance the Lower Silesia region in the respective fields of science in order to reach an internationally competitive level in the target areas, reducing research and innovation disparities within the European Union.

The objective of the project is to carry out a feasibility study (including a business plan) concerned with the application of Pre2Pos motors in the Space sector. Pre2Pos technology (precession-based actuators, Pre2Pos in the following) allows the development of a typology of drive mechanisms that overcomes the performance of the existing technical solutions in several sectors. In particular, due to the high torque/mass ratio, the high accuracy and energy efficiency, together with the propensity to be miniaturized, these devices could bring unseen advantages to Space sector through the development of a new generation of positioning systems. In some cases, these positioning systems could substitute pneumatic and hydraulic actuators and the corresponding infrastructure plants. The feasible study is asked to deliver a business plan aimed at quantifying the conditions for the penetration in Space market and elaborating a strategy to introduce Pre2Pos solutions in some fundamental Space applications like: • Lens positioning in optical devices • Small robotic arms • Solar panel orientation (the most promising) • Antennas orientation The feasibility study is also aimed at integrating the above-mentioned preliminary applications by scanning the needs of Space sector related to positioning systems and translating the performance requirements in specification for Pre2Pos solutions. The final business plan will identify the potential Pre2Pos customers, the specific market needs and the partnerships that could provide the commercial channels for a profitable economic exploitation. The market analysis will identify the most important competitors, the size and the revenue expectation. The business plan will have to suggest how much Space sector is an opportunity to be addressed and which are the strategic key points able to maximize the success rate.

Quantum technologies (QT) are at the brink of revolutionising the world in many areas of our everyday lives. With parallels to the replacement of analogue with digital electronics in the late 20th Century, quantum devices will supersede digital in the future, leading to dramatic improvements in the capabilities of key technologies and industries. These include gravimeters (earth observation; military; prospecting), atomic clocks (satellite-free navigation; finance) and computing/secure communications (banking; military). Having played a vital role in shaping the global scientific QT landscape for the last 10 years, M Squared Lasers (MSL) is well placed to lead commercial developments at the heart of a European QT supply chain. Building on a track record of translating novel science into demanding markets, MSL will develop QT components, subsystems and integrated devices that will enable a wide range of applications. Starting with components and subsystem development (in line with the EU Quantum Manifesto), MSL will become increasingly vertically integrated as the QT initiative progresses. MSL have developed a first iteration magneto-optical trap that is ready to be developed into a stable atom interferometer and to conduct gravity measurements. With this project MSL aim to develop an innovation programme on the commercialisation of a gravimeter. To realise these goals MSL needs to recruit a high calibre engineer who has first hand experience in developing quantum technologies and in depth knowledge of cold atom physics and quantum mechanics. MSL has found it hard to recruit the necessary niche specialist skills in quantum technology development required. To meet this innovation opportunity MSL needs to overcome barriers to recruitment by widening its recruitment pool from UK to EU and increasing visibility. This project provides the framework to overcome these barriers and deliver the envisaged project results and impacts.

PASSIM will study the medieval reception of the Latin sermons preached by the Early Church Fathers, using a digital network of manuscripts. The sermons of Augustine, Gregory the Great and other patristic preachers were transmitted throughout medieval Europe in the form of sermon collections, preserved in thousands of manuscripts. Nearly every manuscript contains a new combination of sermons, attesting to a continuous, widespread engagement with the authorities of the Early Church. The dynamic tradition of reorganising and rewriting the patristic heritage is largely overlooked by scholars of medieval religious practices, who concentrate on medieval preachers, and by scholars of Early Christianity, whose focus is the patristic context. Medieval collections of patristic sermons were part of the liturgical life of the monastery, but also of an intellectual tradition. They offer unique insights into medieval attitudes toward authority, techniques of appropriation, church organisation, monastic networks and knowledge exchange. PASSIM will execute the first large-scale analysis of the formation and spread of patristic sermon collections in medieval Europe. The project will develop a digital network of manuscripts, using well-tried principles from the field of textual criticism. Building on this network, PASSIM will pursue three lines of inquiry: the customizing of standard liturgical collections as indicative of individual purposes and contexts, the impact of transmission on the popularity of patristic sermons, and pseudo-epigraphic sermons as revelatory of medieval perceptions of the Church Fathers. PASSIM will bridge two disciplinary divides, between patristic and medieval sermon studies and between textual criticism and reception studies. Developing an interdisciplinary methodology with a wide applicability in the study of intellectual history, this project will introduce patristic preaching as a vibrant strand in the tapestry of the medieval religious tradition.

Many current developments in stable homotopy theory are guided by the ‘chromatic perspective’. One decomposes a spectrum into its monochromatic pieces, each of which is a localization corresponding to one of the prime fields of higher algebra (the Morava K-theories, generalizing the prime fields Q and F_p of ordinary algebra). The goal of this proposal is to study the chromatic decomposition of spaces, as opposed to that of spectra. I will establish structural results for the category of all monochromatic spaces ‘of a given color’ and study the assembly question: how to put the pieces back together to retrieve information about the original space? The techniques are informed by my recent results relating monochromatic spaces to spectral Lie algebras, which generalize Quillen’s rational homotopy theory to all the other relevant chromatic localizations of homotopy theory. More precisely, this research has the following goals. 1. Develop the structure theory of spectral Lie algebras and apply it to monochromatic spaces. This includes understanding Koszul duality between spectral Lie algebras and commutative ring spectra, with applications to a conjecture of Francis-Gaitsgory, and decomposition results for spectral Lie algebras, with applications to torsion exponents of homotopy groups, building on classical work of Cohen-Moore-Neisendorfer. 2. Develop a theory of transchromatic spectral Lie algebras, explaining how the different monochromatic pieces of homotopy theory interact. This connects to my previous work on the Goodwillie tower of homotopy theory and Tate coalgebras.
