Jotne’s disruptive innovation, EBIMserver, makes it possible for all stakeholders utilizing the same BIM throughout building life cycle. Full open format ensures that model is usable on all platforms. TRL is 7. The unique solution is the only one available based on full open format. All competing solutions are closed and cannot be exchanged with different BIM software. Beneficiaries of the solution include building sector value chain (architects, engineers, construction managers, owners, authoritative, marketers, etc.). EBIMserver will apply new sets of rules and models for the building sector. The innovation disrupts practices in this vast and global market. The well-primed innovation has a high potential for fast market uptake. The global market for BIM has been estimated to reach 10 billion € by 2022. The market need for the solutions is steadily growing as the benefits of BIM are better and better understood by the stakeholders. The EU Directive 2014/24 is encouraging for the use of BIM, and Jotne’s EBIMserver fully supports the directive.

The project Images in Exile (IMEX) addresses the current refugee crisis and its implications for Syrian Kurdish women in Europe. It challenges images about Muslim women, who are often the subject of debates on the supposed dichotomy between an imagined secular progressive West and religious backwards East. Kurdish women disrupt this dichotomy through an alternative portrayal in global media. Whereas Kurds were previously often pictured as terrorists, backward, and conservative, they are now presented as courageous fighters against, and victims of, Islamic terrorism; and as progressive forces that include women in their ranks. Ideas about progressive, feminist and secular forms of governance are strongly developed in Kurdish political thought, and central in local self-representations. However, media representations and political ideology often differ from social realities on the ground. Going beyond these representations, this study will investigate Kurdish women’s experiences in a rapidly changing socio-political context. It aims at developing better insights into migrant women’s integration and participation in European societies. IMEX thus directly responds to an important policy priority of the H2020 work programme, and targets a better gender and equality balance. Building on extensive research experience in the Middle East and Europe, and the knowledge of Kurdish, IMEX will carry out field research among refugees and migrant organizations in Norway. Methods include narrative interviews with 40 women, focus group interviews, and action research through the set-up of a photo exhibition. The host organization is the Centre for Gender Research at Oslo University, a leading Gender institute in the Nordic region. Dissemination is directed towards high academic quality and policy development. IMEX strongly contributes to the researcher’s career prospects and to the broadening of the Centre’s research agenda, and responds to an urgent societal concern.

The goal of this project is to develop a cost-effective system to provide the aircraft with high-definition vision capabilities in the IR and visual spectra. This vision system combines information from various sources, including a compact camera –consisting of a cost effective, versatile, high-performance and highly-reliable optical system— and external sensors, distributed in the form of LRU modules. This information is then processed by a computer vision and image processing module to infer useful knowledge and event-reaction capabilities, aiding pilots during all phases of flight (taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing). The visual information perceived by the pilot’s natural vision is enhanced (or even replacing, when needed) via an advanced flight vision and awareness system that provides obstacle detection and avoidance, as well as increased visibility for all weather conditions, increasing safety on flight operations. The developed system will be ITAR-free, to avoid delays related to export controls by the US, increasing its versatility and making it more appealing for prospective customers. This, along with the system’s lower cost due to the use of more affordable components, would substantially increase its chances to compete with other similar solutions worldwide. SENSORIANCE system will provide a complete enhance and synthesized images suite and it will allow: • To enhance the field of view. • To reduce the risk of occurrence of an impact. • To Enable air transport system optimization • To ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations. • To use ROHs components • Requiring low investment in devices (COTs) The SENSORIANCE applications span from industrial and vision related applications to aircraft Electro-Optical applications.

Macaronesia is a biogeographical region of five archipelagos in the Atlantic Ocean of which four are inhabited: Azores (Portugal), Canarias (Spain), Madeira (Portugal) and Cape Verde (Cabo Verde). These islands share common geographical traits and similar challenges with regards to climate change, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. The Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores are part of the European Union (EU Outermost Regions). The overall objective of this project is to organise a shared Researchers' Night for the Macaronesia Region for the fourth consecutive year connecting the population of these remote islands under the umbrella of the universal language of science. This new edition, MACARONIGHT 2021 aims at further widening public awareness towards science, research and innovation, especially in areas where the Region faces global challenges, such as those identified in the European Green Deal. The aim is to reach out to the population in general yet keeping specific focus on teenagers and young parents with kids in particular. The project will deploy an enhanced social-media strategy that aims to engage with citizens of different ages in their own words through their daily used channels. Activities will cover 16 islands with the "main" activities organised at 4 locations: Tenerife (La Laguna), Gran Canaria (Las Palmas), Madeira (Funchal), Azores (Ponta Delgada). The programmes will be organised as "hybrid" online/physical events that will attract 30 thousand participants in total. We expect that the introduction of the Green Deal topic for 2021 will be translated into active change in the region's compliance with Green Deal objectives and the overall vision described by Climate KIC's strategy, "Transformation in Time".

The training network NEWFRAC is a leading European research consortium composed by eight top university research teams and five high-tech companies. The high-level doctoral training offered by NEWFRAC to thirteen creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers is focused on new strategies for prediction and analysis of multi-field fracture phenomena in heterogeneous engineering systems at different scales. These researchers are developing new failure-predictive computational tools and apply them to relevant problems in strategic industrial sectors like Energy, Health and Transport. Their individual research projects address most relevant questions of current interest in failure prediction in heterogeneous systems, that will generate high-impact research outputs which go beyond the current state of the art in fracture modelling. To this aim, NEWFRAC integrates two new strategies for computational fracture modelling: Finite Fracture Mechanics and a variational approach to fracture referred to as Phase Field, and solves wide-ranging interconnected fundamental issues of fracture modelling like: fragmentation and dynamic crack propagation, toughening composites by micro- and meso-structural optimization, simultaneous crack initiation and propagation interacting with interfaces in: ultra-thin ply composites, curved laminates, injection molded fibre reinforced plastic, thermoplastics, layered ceramics, photovoltaics, solid oxide fuel cells and human bones, among others. NEWFRAC guarantees the attendance of early-stage researchers to all network-wide training activities, and favours their training through interdisciplinary and intersectoral research, mobility and exposure to industry, aiming at their transfer to industry after the network. These early stage researchers will become experts in fracture prediction in heterogeneous systems and will contribute to reduce the innovation gap by enhancing two ways academia-industry transfer of knowledge.

Visual experience can either be triggered externally, by light entering our eyes during perception, or internally, during mental imagery. Perception and imagery rely on similar neural mechanisms; however, we generally do not mistake our mental imagery for reality. Here I propose to investigate the neural mechanisms responsible for this “reality monitoring” by combining insights from metacognition and visual neuroscience. Specifically, I propose that this function is supported by an evaluation of evidence from specific layers of visual cortex by frontal decision areas. I will test this using a novel experimental paradigm in combination with cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques. I will first investigate the decision process by determining whether frontal cortex carries information about the attributed source (real or imagined) of a visual experience. Then, I will test whether visual cortex could provide this evidence by determining whether layer-specific activation dissociates externally from internally triggered visual experience. Finally, I will investigate how this information is used for source attribution by characterizing the connectivity between visual and frontal areas during perceptual reality monitoring. This research will improve the understanding of the fundamentals of visual experience and will have important implications for perceptual misattributions such as hallucinations.

The ERC-FLOVIST project has focused on advancing Tomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) towards a versatile technique for the non-intrusive diagnostics of aero-acoustic problems. One of the milestones has been the use of Tomo-PIV to infer the instantaneous three dimensional pressure field from the velocity measurement. The use of this laser-based technique for the detection of pressure fluctuations both around and on the surface of aerodynamic models offers the advantage that surface pressure transducers do not need to be installed, along with connecting cables for power supply and data transfer. The technique has demonstrated high scalability and pressure fluctuations were detected from low-speed up to the supersonic flows. This is an important headway from standard technologies (surface pressure transducers and microphone arrays) favouring a broader utilization of PIV in aero-acoustics, flow-induced vibrations and bio-fluid mechanics. The potential of this innovative approach has been recognized in science. However, the industry lags behind with a more conservative position, partly justified by system complexity and the high skills required to perform experiments. Instead, when correctly implemented this method can lead to important economical benefits with saving of costs for the integration of instrumentation. The targeted industrial areas are: aeronautics (aircraft aerodynamics and propulsion), energy systems (turbo machinery and wind energy). In wind-energy, the study of unsteady loads may lead to designs that reduce fatigue loads and increase system durability. Also, growing interest in noise emissions from wind turbines requires increased capabilities for their aero-acoustic analysis. The proposal intends to move forward these capabilities from research labs to industrial facilities. The main task is bringing together the current advances of the Tomo-PIV technique to make it broadly usable by research centres and for industrial innovation.

Inflammation is an integral part of carcinogenesis. Several different cells of myeloid, lymphoid and non-hematopoietic origin contribute to the strong link between cancer and inflammation and maintain a pro-tumoral environment. The complexity of this environment and the diversity of tumours lead to distinct responses during tumour immunotherapies. Nucleic acid-sensing (NAS) TLR ligands are an essential component of anti-tumour strategies to induce efficient tumour-specific adaptive immune responses. NAS TLRs can also detect nucleic acid released during tumour necrosis, thereby modulating the tumour microenvironment. Interestingly, NAS TLR signalling can induce cell death via apoptosis or induce pro-tumoral survival and proliferation of cancer cells. These opposing effects of NAS TLR ligands may be due to the differential response of distinct tumour-associated cells to TLR ligands. Indeed, the individual response of subsets of tumour-associated cells remains unclear, thus making it difficult to predict the outcome of tumour immunotherapies. Furthermore, the expression and regulation of NAS TLRs in tumour-associated cells remains unknown. Using ex vivo cultures from adenocarcinomas and melanomas, we will systematically analyze the expression of all NAS TLRs on sorted cells. Using cutting edge technologies, we will dissect the role of TLRs in modulating the tumour microenvironment, which will provide novel insights into our ability to modulate cellular inflammation in the tumour. This proposal has the potential not only to reveal novel aspects of NAS TLR regulation, but also to provide new targets for the modulation of the tumour stroma and the infiltrating cells during carcinogenesis.
