Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal of female cancers, often termed a “silent killer”. DISARM’s overall approach to tackle the significant gaps in hereditary OC management lies in tackling both key elements of risk assessment and early detection. The project will investigate multifactorial risk assessment versus standard practices in 4 EU Member States (MS) (Lithuania, Portugal, Czech Republic, and Greece), and will upscale and validate a set of easy-to-use, highly accurate and affordable technologies in five countries (UK, Lithuania, Portugal, Czech Republic, and Greece). Several intelligent digital assets will optimally support and enhance our clinical studies, while a range of multifaceted activities will ensure the future uptake and adoption of DISARM solutions. The project aligns with the Innovation Action character of this topic by focusing on both mature technologies that can be upscaled in routine healthcare and on emerging technologies that have already shown a potential to justify larger scale validation activities. Our ultimate ambition is to holistically investigate the preconditions and set the stage for rolling out proven solutions in routine OC risk assessment, and in parallel to create further evidence for the introduction of novel promising elements in early detection programmes. DISARM gathers 26 partners from 12 countries (10 EU MS, the UK and Canada), thereby exhibiting a significant geographic coverage, strengthening European and international collaboration and ensuring widespread diffusion of the project results. This action is part of the Cancer Mission cluster of projects on ‘Prevention and Early Detection (early detection heritable cancers)

Smart contact lenses have the potential to address multiple medical unmet needs, such as vision correction, diagnosis of eye disorders and monitoring of biomarkers. For instance, liquid crystal (LC) cells controlled by smart electronics and embedded inside contact lenses can autonomously control light intensity and visual acuity for patients suffering iris disorders. However, a couple of technological challenges remain unresolved before patient validation. The properties of LC cells are not optimal when using standard materials such as PEDOT:PSS and ITO. The former reduces the transmittance while the sheet resistance of the latter is greatly affected by thermoforming steps. In addition, LC ionic currents need to be reduced to favour power consumption. The GAIA project will address these limitations by introducing a graphene-based artificial iris. The unique combination of properties of graphene, i.e., mechanical robustness, high transmittance and lower ionic introduction, make it an ideal material for eye-related smart applications. We will combine the artificial iris management technology based on LC cells already developed by Azalea with the graphene microfabrication techniques developed by ICN2 to deliver medical optical systems with ultra-low power consumption, and unprecedented transparency and flexibility. The graphene artificial iris will autonomously change the size of the pupil to control the depth of field, visual acuity and improve the quality of life of millions of people. Our consortium brings together all the key expertise to achieve the project goals. Azalea is an SME with expertise in active light management, stretchable electronics and electronics integration in contact lenses, while ICN2 is a top academic research centre with unique knowledge in flexible graphene electrodes fabrication. Together, we will develop and validate the next generation of smart contact lenses to bring a revolutionary product to the market to solve unmet medical needs.

On May 23, 2014 in California, Elliot Rodger, aged 22 years and self-identifying as a member of the incel community, murdered six women and injured more than ten people by gunshot, stabbing and vehicle ramming, and also shared these acts on social media. Alek Minassian, a known member of the incel community, committed a vehicle-ramming attack on April 23, 2018 in Toronto and killed ten people, injuring more than 15. Rodger and Minassian shared the same motive: revenge for sexual and social rejection by women. Incels are involuntary celibates – a misogynist and antifeminist digital-based community with radical tendencies who commit public shaming of women (slutshaming) or feminicide. Defined as ‘misogynist violent extremism’ by many social scientists, these attacks have not only been observed in the US and Canada, but also in Europe. The social media play a major role for the incel community, helping them find allies or spread their views. Moreover, incels’ digital culture is very influential in broadcasting anti-feminist ideas. In this regard, incel communities create a visual culture in which feminicide and gender-based violence (GBV) are signified by heroic, nationalist, conservative symbols and discourses. In relation to other misogynist, extremist and/or alt-right (alternative-right) mobilizations (e.g. Proud Boys, ‘Unite the Right rally’) that take part in masculinist raising, incels take less violent action. Nonetheless, they are one of the most active communities conveying pro-violence and exclusionary ideas by sacralizing hatred towards women and feminism on a daily basis. Our research ‘Incel Norms and Masculinities’ (INCELNOR-MA) sheds light on how the incels’ anti-feminist and misogynist ideas are displayed via incel artefacts and aesthetics.

Honey bees, Apis mellifera, have experienced the full impacts of globalization, including the recent invasion by the parasite, Varroa destructor. This deadly mite has rapidly become one of the main causes of colony losses worldwide, with a huge economic impact on beekeeping. Despite the lethal effects of varroa, some colonies survive infestation. In such colonies, honey bees are able to work together to selectively remove highly parasitized brood, thereby limiting mite spread. Defensive hygiene plays a role at society level that parallels that of an immune system, and the ‘social immunity’ it confers provides the basis for colony resistance to varroa and other brood diseases. How compromised individuals are accurately diagnosed, and how the collective actions of hygienic bees are regulated at colony level pose central but yet unsolved challenges. The BEE HEALTHY project aims to decipher the mechanisms that underpin collective behavioural defences against unhealthy brood in honey bee colonies. Four key breakthroughs support my high-risk high-gain and wide-scoped approach: (1) a new conceptual framework postulating that bees maintain the integrity of the colony by constantly assessing the wellness of conspecifics; (2) a new hypothesis that considers distinct hygienic behaviours as components of a single suite of defences that must be considered together; (3) a cutting-edge experimental strategy that tightly associates studies at the individual bee and superorganism colony level; (4) an integrative biology approach that combines chemical ecology and neurophysiology. This ambitious project promises an unprecedented journey in the understanding of social immunity. In the face of increasing threats from invasive species events, revealing how hosts adapt to detrimental foes has never been more pressing. This research also opens avenues to deliver tools for a more sustainable beekeeping and agriculture through preserved pollination ecosystem services.

The main objective of Green Marine is to significantly accelerate climate neutrality of water borne transport through retrofitting existing fleets with cost and emission control solutions. To support decision makers retrofitting protocols and a software tool catalogue that gathers knowledge will be developed and validated. We will demonstrate these tools and the innovative solutions aimed at carbon capture mineralization, which also aids in deacidifying our seas; energy savings for HVAC systems through air-reuse; carbon and water capture with membranes, and the use of excess engine heat to produce a syngas to save on fuel consumption. An ultra-sound technology will be tailored to suit vessels allowing air-reuse saving energy for HVAC systems and operated as pre-treatment enhancing a membrane carbon capture process. The Ca/Mg – alkali solvent capture process is capable of removing 75% of the CO2 from flue gases. All solutions will be demonstrated first on a land-based engine followed by the selection of the most suitable solution for a demonstration on a waterborne vessel. The (land-based) demonstrations will represent the operation of a majority of vessel engines. By developing retrofitting protocols, simulations of the solutions, data generated at the demonstrations a software catalogue tool will be developed. Through engagement activities this tool will gain more users and more knowledge, its value and effectiveness will increase for all users. The project aims to bring the different solutions to TRL 8. The demonstrations, the software tool catalogue, and the dissemination and exploitation activities ensure that project results will be replicated globally. The consortium consists of 10 partners from 7 countries with 4 research institute, 1 ship company, which will host a demo as end user and 5 SMEs.
