The overall goal of Cleantech Innovations (CTI) is the upscaling of an innovative photobioreactor (a reactor to grow algae), that exceeds current alternatives on both efficiency and cost of operation, providing a competitive alternative to produce high-end bio-based components for the food industry. By optimizing the light exposure and liquid flow rate, the technology’s efficiency is expected to double its efficiency compared to current solutions. Competing companies producing algae are encountering issues in using the wrong technologies, and producing the wrong output (wrong market). CTI’s revolutionary LAURA platform has proven a solution to the technical and operational disadvantages that are encountered in current production setups, whilst focussing on high value, high margin output products, i.e. for the food and pharma industries. The company’s goal is to offer a commercially viable reactor that can (competitively) grow algae, which can be used as a sustainable resource in the production of valuable, natural ingredients, specifically targeting the production of i.e. special proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, pigments, anti-oxidants, flavour enhancers, and precursors for medicines. The objective for this Phase 1 feasibility study is to assess an EU roll-out plan and business plan determining for what specific end-products the LAURA platform should be launched for optimal scale-up..

The cDAC ERC Advanced project develops and validates a theory of consciousness and its application to the understanding and alleviation of its deficits. cDAC proposes that consciousness is a virtualization memory system that monitors and optimizes the real-time control of perception, cognition and action realized in a multi-layered architecture. Building on cDAC, we have advanced and validated new concepts and methods for the diagnostics and treatment of cognitive and affective deficits post-stroke. The current PoC project will now propel these interventions into the real-world by integrating them with the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS), creating cRGS. cRGS will be built by the integration of several paradigms and principles underlying perception, cognition, and emotion advanced in the cDAC theory of mind. cRGS will be developed to tackle unsolved problems in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cognitive impairments after stroke, dementia and depression that. affect more than 400 million people worldwide creating a severe health-related burden adding up to annual costs that are measured in trillions of euros, with depression being the leading cause of disability worldwide. cRGS taps into the latest technologies such as AI, VR, big data and cloud computing to provide treatment that does not require the presence of a health professional by building on the cDAC architecture for autonomous control. cRGS solves two significant obstacles in providing healthcare namely, the lack of resources and the lack of trained professionals. Concretely, this Proof of Concept will consist of the integration of the treatment paradigms created in cDAC to treat and diagnose aphasia, cognitive impairment, and depression in one platform. This prototype will be tested in terms of usability and adherence as well as its practical use at healthcare centers and at home.

An old question in tumor immunology is whether cancer cells can spontaneously activate T cells that in turn destroy them, termed immunosurveillance. While firmly established for virus-associated tumors, immunosurveillance of spontaneous tumors is still controversial. Intuitively, autochthonous cancer models may be better suited than transplantation model to address this question, yet current models bear pitfalls and do not resemble the sporadic nature of human cancer. Importantly, they are not conclusive. Cancer cell transplantation is artificial and induces acute inflammation, facilitating T cell activation. It may be suited, however, if tumor antigen expression and cell proliferation can be regulated and induced when resting conditions have been re-established. We will investigate, in two novel cancer models, the fate of T cells specific for naturally occurring mouse and human neoantigens under resting conditions, resembling pathophysiologic conditions. We hypothesize that induction of a large foreign antigen harboring several epitopes, but not a mouse point-mutant neoantigen, activate functional T cells under resting conditions, while both will do under acute inflammatory conditions. We further conditionally express human mutations, either proven or predicted neoantigens, in cancer cells syngeneic to mice with a diverse human T cell receptor repertoire restricted to HLA-A2. Our studies will answer the questions, whether the initial antigen encounter induces functional or dysfunctional T cells, what distinguishes antigens that can or cannot induce functional T cells, what is the long-term fate of the T cells, why are spontaneous T cell responses rare relative to mutation load and how precisely can neoantigens be predicted. This project will clarify the role of immunosurveillance and addresses the question whether the best target antigens are retained or lost before cancer becomes clinically apparent, which is of high clinical relevance.

An exponential increase in the use of social media has accelerated information diffusion. Disinformation also spreads, often faster and more widely than true news, posing a risk for democracy, national security, and social fabric, and undermining society’s trust in the information. It is therefore necessary to understand and measure the impacts of disinformation on opinions, culture, policy, and profits, as well as develop specific tools and services to allow citizens and the professional community to understand Social Media correctly. The SOMA (Social Observatory for Disinformation and Social Media Analysis) project aims to provide a springboard for the social media sector to steer an understanding of its dynamics and the relationship between social media and other sectors. SOMA will: map European social media actors by using an open community-based mapping service; establish a European centre for social media stakeholders undertaking research on disinformation; and, develop a Source Transparency Index to immediately verify sources. Key proposed solutions are: (i) a platform for content verification; (ii) fact-checking tools; (iii) social media mapping and visualisation tools for the engagement of European Social Media Innovation initiatives and EU projects. SOMA will also: (iv) develop a methodology for the socio-economic impact assessment of disinformation; (v) provide strategies and actions to increase media literacy, analyse legal roadblocks and community-based self-regulation aspects; (vi) provide policy recommendations based on the analysis of the information collected by the Observatory; (vii) develop tools for community-mapping and an analysis of a future hyper-connected society; (viii) create a repository of disinformation-related knowledge. The overall expected impact by SOMA is the creation of a solid environment to increase awareness among stakeholders on social media topics and develop tools and instruments for the social media community.

Recent reports from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work warn that the use information and communication technology presents important challenges to employee’s well-being and performance. To resolve such challenges, scholars look towards leaders, which play an important role in shaping employees’ experiences at work. However, it remains unclear how leaders can regulate the effects of technology on employees’ well-being and performance. In addition, scholars increasingly question the adequacy of traditional leadership approaches to deal with these challenges and advance digital leadership as a new leadership style. Nevertheless, reliable scales or empirical tests of digital leadership are virtually nonexistent. To that end, the present project (DIGILEAD) wishes to (1) systematize knowledge on leadership as a regulator of technological job characteristics in the workplace (WP1); (2) construct and (3) test a digital leadership inventory to measure digital leadership in organizations (WP2, WP3) and (4) translate this knowledge to the public and professional sphere (WP4). Through a multidisciplinary approach, methodological advancement and public engagement, the present project contributes to our understanding of how leaders within businesses and organizations in Europe can deal with the challenges resulting from the so-called ‘digitalization’ of the workplace.

The PALADIN antenna exploits the electronically reconfigurable features of several plasma discharges along with DSP algorithms to create narrow beamwidth and multi-lobes radiation pattern. These features allows the PALADIN antenna to lock and track up to 4 navigation satellites (each lobe for a distinct satellite) to achieve higher signal to noise ratio, and to create nulls in the directions of electromagnetic interference including jamming, spoofing and multi-path reflections. Such features can be proficiently adopted either on board of an aircraft or on the ground replacing GBAS reference antennas. In the former case, the antenna can be embedded in the wing structure providing a drag-free solution, which can achieve better accuracy in position estimation thanks to the many GNSS satellites being tracked, and can integrate different antenna into one solution thanks to the tuneable properties offered by plasma discharges. In the latter case, the antenna can be used in place of actual landing system reference antennas thanks to its null steering in the directions of interferences and jamming resistant operations. The proposed study project PALADIN has the following high-level objectives: 1) Technical Assessment of the technology addressing antenna design and simulation; 2) Exploitation plan including commercial feasibility, business plan and preparation of Phase 2 activities. Technical assessment will focus in the update of the existing simulation software for plasma antenna performance evaluation and the design of a Smart Plasma Antenna for secure landing and navigation operation. Technical assessment will also include the evaluation of critical technologies required for prototyping and industrialization. Commercial Feasibility and Business Plan will provide a preliminary market assessment and positioning of the expected product with specific regard to aviation and the preparation of phase 2 activities.

Optical quantum technologies are at the forefront of a forthcoming second quantum revolution, where advances in quantum photonics at the single-photon level are enabling new technologies at accelerating pace: from applications for secure quantum communication, to the realization of quantum simulation and quantum computation protocols. The scaling of quantum photonics, however, has long been restrained by low efficiencies in current photon sources, what limits the complexity of the protocols that are being demonstrated. The host team has very recently succeeded in the fabrication of solid-state single-photon sources about 20 times more efficient than current alternatives. These sources have reached the best possible performance in terms of purity and indistinguishability, as required for scalable applications. In this proposal, the high performance of these devices is combined with the expertise in quantum optics of the applicant to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum photonics to the efficient and high-rate manipulation of multiple single-photons. A new era of larger-scale quantum photonics will be attained by enabling the manipulation of multiple photons past the qubyte threshold of 8 photons. The project will include the demonstration of 10-photon sources with sub-Hertz detection rates; the implementation of heralded entangling gates run at unprecedented rates; as well as the demonstration of multi-photon interference with up to 8-photons in a Boson Sampling machine. This project will thus importantly advance upon the complexity of current multi-photon research, opening a new era of solid-state based quantum optics and photonics.
