The focus of Primomed is the translational medicinal approach of the SMEs, i.e. developing disease modifying therapeutics for high unmet medical needs in chronic inflammatory and degenerative disorders. The Primomed project utilizes well characterized non-human primate models so that the SMEs can capitalize on subsequent clinical successes of their therapeutic lead compounds. The main objectives of the project are (1) to demonstrate proof of concept that drug compounds of the SME’s are efficacious in primate models relevant for the diseases of interest and (2) to determine the immune responses in biological samples generated by the research activities in the different animal models. The power of the Primomed project is the creation of a consortium bringing together four small and early-stage biotech companies owning innovative and proprietary drugs and two of the most renowned European primate research centres that will perform research activities with the new disease modifying molecules of the SME’s. The disease areas of interest in Primomed are asthma, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease. Amakem’s Localized Drug Action approach would allow the use of ROCK inhibitors for the treatment of respiratory diseases, e.g. asthma, while avoiding the side effects resulting from systemic ROCK inhibition. By selectively targeting IL-23p19, Complix’ Alphabody is an intriguing candidate for therapy development of asthma and MS and may avoid some of the severe side effects of other currently available and tested anti-IL12/IL23p40 therapies. FFP’s PG102 would be a first in class molecule with a novel mechanism of action in treating chronic inflammatory conditions such as MS. sNRG would be a protein drug with disease modifying potential for the treatment of an unmet medical need in Parkinson’s disease. Primomed will result in progressing the compounds to the clinic, maximize the chance at eventual market authorization and answer the unmet medical need of millions of patients.

E-commerce has become a focal point of expansion and growth for the consumer goods industry. This rapidly expanding trend provides an opportunity for childrenswear manufacturers to introduce new commercialization channels, enabling to reach a global audience by selling their products directly to customers and being able to open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the childrenswear sector is not fully taking advantage of e-Commerce, where only 5-7% of all childrenswear is being sold online, compared to clothing in general with 10% or 50% of all computers or 61% of all books. Online apparel retailers have a 40% return rate, the highest return rate in e-commerce, being bad fit the main barrier for the online market, causing 75% of these returns. It is therefore that KIDSIZE project will develop an added value service to overcome size assignment and fitting barrier, facilitating the adequate selection of size when buying both online and in normal shops without the presence of the children. KIDSIZE system will enable to capture the 3D children body shape at home with easy to use, low cost and wide available consumer technology. The optimal size will be proposed according to body shape and growing patterns, being supported by a 3D European children database, covering child measures from 2 to 12 years and pediatric body measures for babies under 2 years, while visualizing fitting. This system, will lead to an increase of the European childrenswear industry competitiveness, withstanding both LLC competition in brick and mortar stores as well as foreign competition on the e-Commerce market. Our consortium is formed by 4 AG´s: CFE, ASEPRI, NOVA CHILD and FINATEX, 3 RTD Performers IBV, ISRI and OZONGO, specialized in anthropometrics, ICT and e-commerce respectively and 2 SMEs TUCTUC and MYLLYMUKSUT Direct exploitation of the results of the project will provide the SME community an expected cost-savings/benefits of €130,5 Million in 5 years after the end of the projec

Biomaterials industry and especially the orthopaedics sector represent a large market globally with growth rates of 7-15%. Unfortunately current biomaterials are not optimal and cause pain and distress to a large number of patients. Particularly their life cycle is very small compared to the average starting age of musculoskeletal disorders. The raw materials used can cause neurological problems as Alzheimer disease due to metal ions released in the body and the stress shielding effect can lead to bone atrophy. Also the structural and mechanical properties of biomaterials used in implants are not optimal, chemical inhomogeneity and large distribution of porous dimensions are common factors in production process. There is a clear need for innovation in biomaterials production in terms of biocompatibility, mechanical, and surface properties. NewBioGen introduces a new biomaterial production process that will solve the current problems and provide a new generation of orthopaedic bio-implants. Beta titanium alloys, containing fully biocompatible elements, will be optimised and validated as raw materials for the biomaterial production. The new production process will be using powder metallurgy technology. Use of powder metallurgy for bio-implants production will allow increased control of the final characteristics and properties of the product. It is expected to significantly reduce the chemical and porous inhomogeneties - a source of stress and cause of mechanical implant failure. The next step in our novel approach is the application of ZrO2/Zr coating on the implant using Laser Engineered Net Shape techniques to give better wear resistance and lower the possibility of interfacial separation under repeated loading condition. NewBioGen is taking a new route to establish methods that yield high precision and quality biomaterials and will validate their increased biocompatibility, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, enhanced mechanical and tribological properties.

This research proposal deals with the development of innovative fully biodegradable and recyclable, multilayer flexible and transparent structure for fresh pasta and different types of cheese that requires customized Modified Atmosphere (MAP) by combining at least two different biodegradable thermoplastic materials, mainly polylactic acid (PLA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). In order to increase/reinforce the barrier against moisture, a biodegradable coating based on natural waxes will cover the inner layer of the multilayer structure. The natural waxes will be extracted from urban sources as well as residues from agriculture. Furthermore, the differences of permeability between traditional plastic packaging materials (polyolefins, EVOH, polyamides) and BIO4MAP’s proposed ones (PLA and PVOH), require optimization and adjustment of the current combination of gases used to obtain fully biodegradable packages that give similar shelf-life for the food products studied. BIO4MAP project aims to achieve the following structure by using: Co-extrusion and coating process: PLA/tie/ PVOH/tie/ PLA/coating To perform the semi-rigid structure, new biodegradable thermoplastic tie-layer (for co-extrusion) will be developed based on the modifications of PLA and PVOH or their copolymers. The biodegradable sheet will be covered by a natural wax based coating, to improve the water vapour permeability of the structure. Moreover, the barrier of the developed packaging needs to be specifically adapted to the modified atmosphere required by the different products (fresh pasta and cheese). BIO4MAP offers low environmental impact solutions: 1) The new packages will allow the easy recyclability of PLA due to the effortless separation between PVOH and the PLA (PVOH is soluble in water), 2) the new packages will be full compostable in conditions according to the standard UNE-EN 13432 and 3) use of agricultural waste (leaves, greenery) as a raw material source for wax based coating production

Within NovEED we will investigate, develop and demonstrate a novel electrocatalytic process based on electrodialysis for the efficient recovery of acids and bases from salt solutions normally discharged at cost. This process is demanded by industrial users of acids and bases, e.g. galvanic industry, metal plating and mining industries, who will be able to regenerate their neutralized solutions to recover fresh acids and bases from their waste rather than through purchase. Through development of a new stack design, process layout and metal foam electrodes with high surface area, plus the inclusion of catalytic coatings, the consortium will demonstrate a process that does not release any gases, unlike SoA electrodialysis processes. With this advantage the NovEED device will avoid all efficiency losses that make SoA processes using external fuel cells expensive and maintenance prone. NovEED will reduce the energy consumption of the electrodialysis process due to the introduction of electrocatalysis to react oxygen generated in the anode to produce water in the cathode. In recovery of sodium hydroxide and sulphuric acid this reaction will result in an energy saving of approximately 800 kWh per tonne of each chemical compared to a SoA three membrane ED stack with bipolar membranes. Efficiency will be 80% or more compared to a maximum 50% in SoA applications. We have identified that a market opportunity exists for a cost efficient electrodialysis device that enables industries to recycle used acids and bases to save money and be more environmental friendly. Additionally, the transport and storage of aggressive acids and bases will be decreased making both our streets and industrial areas safer. We anticipate there will be high uptake of this environmentally beneficial new system in industry as it requires no additional effort, and a small initial investment, to achieve significant savings after only 1 years of operation.

The FEROP project goals are the development and integration of innovative technologies to build a home automation system allowing to remotely control the EnOcean ecosystem. Its functions, in the home environment, consist in controlling heating and air conditioning, giving orders to set comfort point (such as temperature, air quality, presence, etc.), adjusting lighting, shutters and blinds, or/and monitoring all the top-mentioned parameters via a display device. The objective of FEROP is to reach energy efficiency targets by taking into account the behavior of end users. In the house environment as occupants can contribute to the enhancement of the energy saving. They could directly and easily interact with the building using remote, repositionable at will, and battery free panels. This project will be supported by a consortium composed of four SME (2 French, one Italian and one Portuguese) and two RTD Performers (France and Italy). The developed product will be a wireless battery-free touch panel display formed part of seven layers, each one presenting a single function (Photovoltaic, Capacitive touch screen, Bi stable low power flexible screen, Flexible PCB layer with EnOcean radio, Energy storage, Spacer and mechanical, Sticking). The challenges emphasized on this project are related to the product energy consumption (lower than possible) as well as the MMI (simple and intuitive). Eventually, the transparent solar film has to switch from laboratory to production in 2013. This innovative product, targets old buildings that have modernization needs by taking the advantage of tax incentives motivations, and also new buildings that allow the deployment of wireless technology and gateways, in order to manage and control the whole building energy consumption. The estimated market is about 160 000 units a year and could be larger according to Horizon 2020 requirements and the subcontracted production will be managed mutually to improve efficiency and scale factor.

The current research project deals with the environmental impact, economics and social aspects of the recycling of the materials used for aircaft building. As it has been mentioned the first objective of this proposal is the realization of a market survey on the most important a/c and/or materials used in the actual CS EDA. After the definition of the materials together with the topic manager, in a second step, price or revenue expectations (ranges) have to be generated, in order to provide a data base for future economic assessment. In a third step, a methodology proposal should combine the expected market data with the current and expected future steps for a/c dismantling, treatment, and recycling. Regarding dismantling and recycling of aircrafts, their parts and materials, the outcome will be an economic method for decision-making along with an actual a/c industry specific set of data (materials, processes) covering both state of the art processes and those developed in the CleanSky Eco Design project. The new recycling methodology, based on an actualized survey market will open the door to direct business opportunity for scrap recovery companies, and also indirect business with the use of secondary materials (as recovery carbon fibres (rCF)) in new markets. For instance, the automotive sector whose prices are extremely restricted, a traceability and quality secondary material from the aircraft sector could have an important status.

This proposal attacks the four major challenges facing theorists who aim to make accurate predictions for reactions of molecules on metal surfaces. The research is curiosity driven, but also of practical importance to an accurate description of heterogeneous catalysis, which enables the production of > 90% of man made chemicals. The central goal is to enable the ab initio computation of chemically accurate barrier heights for reactions with metal surfaces of catalytic interest. In the first challenge addressed, to establish the accuracy of a new electronic structure method we will test whether specific reaction parameter density functional theory (SRP-DFT) can describe reactions like dissociation of N2 on Ru(0001), CH4 on Pt(111), and H2 on Pt containing surfaces of catalytic interest with chemical accuracy. We will try to put SRP-DFT on a ab initio basis by fitting SRP density functionals to single point Quantum Monte-Carlo calculations. Second, we aim to achieve an accurate description of the effect of surface phonons on reaction through implementing Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics calculations on systems like CHD3 + Pt(111), CH4 + Pt(533), and N2 + Ru(0001). Third, we additionally aim to achieve an accurate description of the effect of electron-hole pair excitation on reaction in systems like N2 + Ru(0001) by implementing a new method called Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics with Electronic Friction, using a novel and efficient way to accurately compute the required friction coefficients. The fourth goal is to achieve an accurate quantum dynamical description of the reaction of hydrogen containing polyatomic molecules at surfaces at incidence energies of catalytic interest (in the quantum regime). The quantum dynamics calculations will treat all molecular degrees of freedom and one surface mode, which will ultimately enable detailed interpretations of recently observed mode-selectivity, bond-selectivity, and steric effects in the reaction of methane with metal surfaces.
