In February 2011, the four-year ERC funded project Forensic Architecture (FASLW) was launched, exploring the role of spatial evidence within the law. In the first 24 months we have collaborated with the world’s foremost organisations in the field of human rights and achieved highly successful results in the production of spatial analysis for the investigation of human rights violations. While the cases we have been engaging with are disparate, our work for each of them has required the creation of composite visualisations (maps, timelines, digital models or a combination of these) which bring together dispersed fragments of information in multiple media formats and translate them into a comprehensible account or narrative, told from different perspectives. Having recognised the efficiency of such innovative visualisations for legal and advocacy purposes, as well as the vivid interest they have provoked among our collaborating institutions and the news media that have published them, we now propose to develop a tool which will make the specific know-how we have acquired through FASLW accessible to a wide range of specialist and non-specialist users. This tool, which we call Media Aggregation and Plotting Platform (MAPP), will be a digital interface specifically designed to source, combine and visualise multiple forms of information into a single interactive display. MAPP will be initially developed for use by human rights organisations, providing them with a highly efficient research and advocacy tool. But its strong features built for specific purposes — including a wiki function allowing remote witnesses/reporters to upload additional data and collaboratively enrich the mapping platform — could then turn MAPP into a valuable tool in a variety of expanded contexts, including research, education, journalism, activism, and public debates. Our experience with FASLW indicates that digital mapping and data visualisation are to become essential media of communication, not only in the specific field of human rights legal and advocacy campaigns, but more generally in addressing the spatially intertwined situations that characterise our globalized world. MAPP will contribute to constructing and disseminating a new language for engaging with such contemporary issues.

Mid-infrared laser sources operating in the 3-10 µm wavelength range are of great interest and importance for a wide range of applications that span laser surgery with minimal peripheral damage; infrared sensing applications based on incredibly sensitive and species-selective vibrational finger-printing of molecules; countermeasures against intelligent homing munitions; etc. Recently, the high-field physics and attosecond science community became strongly interested in intense ultrafast sources operating in this notoriously difficult for lasers spectral range, signaling a big potential scientific market. Because of the absence of lasing materials, such sources are based on nonlinear-optical frequency conversion of near-IR pulsed lasers. To date, narrowband tunable high-energy low-intensity pulses from nanosecond Q-switched lasers and micro-Joule-level femtosecond pulses from cumbersome multistage down-conversion schemes driven by 800-nm Ti:sapphire amplifiers have been demonstrated. Project LUMINOS intends to jump-start the era of compact efficient sources operating in the 5-10 µm with at kHz repetition rates, several milli-Joule pulse energy and pulse duration nearing a single optical cycle. This breakthrough implies the development of an unprecedented femtosecond chirped-pulse laser amplifier at 2.1-µm to solve the problems in mid-IR parametric amplification linked to the pump wavelength, conversion efficiency, and amplified bandwidth. We propose to develop and offer for commercialization the first high-intensity and average power Ho-doped femtosecond solid-state amplifier and demonstrate it as a pump source for a mid-IR parametric amplifier. The technical idea and the feasibility proof behind this project arose during the implementation of the ERC project CyFi, in which a multicolor source was built with the longest wavelength component at >3 µm. The latter can be used as a starting point for a deeper infrared conversion proposed to be explored in the PoC scheme.

In this project a cost-competitive, energy-efficient and durable integrated PEMFC based power system operating on low-grade (crude) bioethanol will be developed for back-up and off-grid power generation. Back-up and off-grid power is one of the strongest early markets for fuel cell technology today. Wireless communication systems are rapidly expanding globally, and the need for reliable, cost-competitive and environmentally sustainable back-up and off-grid power is growing, especially in developing countries. Cost-competitive PEMFC power system compatible with crude bioethanol would allow direct use of easily transported and stored, locally produced sustainable and low-emission fuel also in developing countries, further adding value and increasing the number of potential applications and end-users for fuel cell and hydrogen technology. The PEMBeyond system will basically consist of the following functions integrated as a one complete system: a) Reforming of crude bioethanol, b) H2 purification, c) Power generation in PEMFC system. Optimized overall system design combined to use of improved system components and control strategies will lead to improvements in cost, efficiency and durability throughout the complete system. Latest automotive reformate compatible PEMFC stacks will be used, possessing high potential to reducing stack manufacturing costs. On top of this, the stacks as a part of a low-grade H2 compatible fuel cell system design will allow both FC system simplifications (e.g. no cathode humidifier needed) and complete system simplifications (e.g. higher CO ppm and lower H2% allowed) leading to decreased cost. Optimizing the target H2 quality used will be an important task with the regard to overall system cost, efficiency and durability. An extensive techno-economic analysis will be carried out throughout the project to ensure attractiveness of the concept. A roadmap to volume production will be one of the main deliverables of the project.

The program THINGS2DO is focused on building the Design & Development Ecosystem for FD-SOI-technology. This technology is uniquely positioned to take advantage of some very distinct strengths of the European Semiconductor Industry. The baseline 28nm FD-SOI-technology is available at an inflection point in the semiconductor progression path and offers unique features at this particular point in time. 14nm-FD-SOI will then take the technology’s integration potential to unprecedented levels, utilizing the design/development ecosystem developed here. In this context, the development groundwork needs to be created, in view to enable IC-products and electronic systems to be migrated into the FD-SOI environment and to take advantage of the new possibilities, which FD-SOI offers on the product-and systems-level. A new and game-changing technology such as FD-SOI can only be successful with a rich mix of product-and service-offerings in the development space.

Water electrolysis based on PEM technology has demonstrated its applicability to produce hydrogen and oxygen in a clean and safe way on site and on demand. Systems have been demonstrated in a wide range of niche applications with capacities from << 1 Nl/h to 30 Nm^3/h. PEM electrolysers offer efficiency, safety and compactness benefits over alkaline electrolysers. However, these benefits have not been fully realised in distributed hydrogen generation principally due to high capital costs. In order for PEM electrolysers to fit with the need for large scale on-site production of hydrogen for hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), renewable energy storage, grid balancing and "power to gas" the capacity of PEM electrolysers should be increased to at least 3-4 MW. The main goal of this project will be to develop a suitable stack design for PEM electrolysers in the MW range using large area cells and the necessary CCMs/MEAs, current collectors and seals for the large area cells.

High temperature electrolysers (HTEs) produce H2 efficiently utilising electricity from renewable sources and steam from solar, geothermal, or nuclear plants. CO2 can be co-electrolysed to produce syngas and fuels. The traditional solid oxide electrolyser cell (SOEC) leaves wet H2 at the steam side. ELECTRA in contrast develops a proton ceramic electrolyser cell (PCEC) which pumps out and pressurises dry H2 directly. Delamination of electrodes due to O2 bubbles in SOECs is alleviated in PCECs. The proton conductor is based on state-of-the-art Y:BaZrO3 (BZY) using reactive sintering for dense large-grained films, low grain boundary resistance, and high stability and mechanical strength. A PCEC can favourably reduce CO2 to syngas in co-ionic mode. Existing HTEs utilise the high packing density of planar stacks, but the hot seal and vulnerability to single cell breakdown give high stack rejection rate and questionable durability and lifetime economy. ELECTRA uses instead tubular segmented cells, mounted in a novel module with cold seals that allows monitoring and replacement of individual tubes from the cold side. The tubes are developed along 3 design generations with increasing efforts and rewards towards electrochemical performance and sustainable mass scale production. Electrodes and electrolyte are applied using spraying/dipping and a novel solid state reactive sintering approach, facilitating sintering of BZY materials. ELECTRA emphasises development of H2O-O2 anode and its current collection. It will show a kW-size multi-tube module producing 250 L/h H2 and CO2 to syngas co-electrolysis with DME production. Partners excel in ceramic proton conductors, industry-scale ceramics, tubular electrochemical cells, and integration of these in renewable energy schemes including geothermal, wind and solar power. The project counts 7 partners (4 SMEs/industry), is coordinated by University of Oslo, and runs for 39 months.

The main objective of the present project proposal is to develop uniform and industry wide test procedures for SOC cell/stack assembly. The proposal builds on experiences gained in the FCTESTNET, FCTESQA series of projects taking up the methodology developed there. This project proposal will address new application fields which are based on the operation of the SOFC cell/stack assembly in the fuel cell and in the electrolysis mode. The project partners have long-term experience in the development, testing and harmonization of solid oxide cells/stacks. The project will have a clear structure based on an initial definition phase, the development of generic test modules which will be validated by experimental validation phases. The review of the test procedures will result in modified test modules leading to a subsequent second validation loop. At the end of the project, the final test modules will be confirmed by round robin tests. Moreover, the project will address safety aspects, liaise with standardization organizations and establish contact with industrial practice. This collaborative project will essentially help to accelerate the development and the market penetration of hydrogen and fuel cell (H2&FC) energy systems in Europe.

INCITE aims to develop intelligent catheter technologies and systems that will accelerate the paradigm shift from costly, burdensome surgical treatments to cost-effective and patient-friendly minimally invasive interventions. It will also enable the creation of new advanced treatments for currently complex surgical procedures. This will allow for more individuals to be treated thereby contributing further to the trend of decreasing death rates and improvement in quality of life. The INCITE project will investigate and develop catheter systems based on intrinsically compact and advanced technologies. This will not only allow new functionality but the combination of functionalities. Most importantly, an intelligent catheter platform will allow these functions to be integrated into small devices that can address a wide range of complex interventions in a cost effective and industrially feasible manner while simultaneously improving the therapeutic outcome for the patient. One key platform technology that will advance catheter systems significantly beyond state-of-the-art is that based on integrated circuits and silicon processing. With microelectronics technology, it will be possible to construct many of the key components in the system, including sensors, imagers, electronics and interconnects. Using this technology, the components can be extremely miniaturized, multiplex-capable, and have natural integration interfaces to each other. To complement the microelectronics, optical sensing and communication technology will be incorporated and the opto-electronic interfaces will be developed. To enable the full range of catheter functionality, steering and tracking will be investigated. New miniaturizable steering mechanisms, employing electrically controlled actuators based on smart materials, will be developed.

The modification of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins by covalent attachment of N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to serine or threonine residues is emerging as a crucial regulatory posttranslational modification similar to phosphorylation. O-GlcNAc is essential for cell survival and is implicated in key biological processes (e. g., nutrient sensing, protein regulation and gene expression) and human diseases (e. g., diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer). In contrast to conventional protein glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation is not further elaborated into complex glycans and occurs on intracellular proteins. Despite its biological importance, the functional roles and molecular details of O-GlcNAc modification remain to be elucidated; furthermore, no consensus sequence has been established for the site of glycosylation. With the goal of answering these questions, we propose herein novel chemical and enzymatic strategies to recapitulate and probe O-GlcNAcylation in vitro and in vivo. On the basis of the "tag-and-modify" approach to site-selective protein modification developed in Professor Davis' group, these investigations will be directed to enable the identification of O-GlcNAc-modified proteins and their specific glycosylation sites. Such strategies can be used as a powerful tool for elucidating the, as yet largely unknown, functional significance and molecular mechanisms of this dynamic posttranslational modification. On a professional basis, this multidisciplinary project will surely contribute significantly to the career development of the researcher, by adding different training and research competences along with complementary skills at an advanced level.
