The GLUCOSTAT project will develop a first to the market, fully integrated, biotechnology device that will enable automatic control of blood glucose levels for patients in ICUs. This will improve the clinical outcomes for the patient as their blood glucose concentration will be maintained in the healthy normal concentration range (4-6 mM). Automatic blood glucose control will also decrease the workload on nurses as they no longer need to take frequent blood samples which will allow this valuable resource to be re-directed to more valuable roles within the intensive care wards. A move away from discrete sampling to an automatic control system that maintains low fluctuations will result in a cost reduction of €2,638 per intensive care unit (ICU) patient and hence be more resource and labour efficient. With an estimated 1.25 million sepsis/diabetes patients in the EU who will most benefit from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), the total cost savings of implementing GLUCOSTAT will be in the order of €3.3 billion. The GLUCOSTAT project will optimise FLOW’s existing Diramo system and process used for its manufacture, and integrate the advanced control algorithm from Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to enable FLOW to apply for CE certification. The performance of the optimised CE marked device will then be evaluated by performing a clinical study where we will automatically control the blood glucose level of ICU patients to stay within the normal 4-6 mM range. This will demonstrate the automated blood glucose control system’s effectiveness in terms of delivering good accuracy, usability and robustness, which will enable FLOW to carry out post project commercialisation and market activities. Once the automatic control system has been launched, penetrated the market, and proved itself in patients with sepsis and diabetes, a market potential of €4.5 billion can be achieved for FLOW by implementing the device across all ICU patients in the EU and USA.

Air pollution is the leading avoidable cause of death according to the WHO and a major mobility and smart cities challenge for Europe, causing 600,000 premature deaths in the EU every year. The magnitude of this challenge is exacerbated by the dearth of reliable and readily available data on exposure to pollution: Member States' air pollution monitoring infrastructures, comprising of networks of sparse stations who fail to adequately cover the continent, "often render the data inaccurate and could thus create a public health risk" according to the European Parliament. The Plume Air Cloud is an Internet of Things and data platform for live air pollution exposure forecast which aims at helping consumers track and reduce the impact of air quality on their health and well-being, and supporting policymakers in promoting smarter mobility choices to build cleaner cities. The Plume Air Cloud leverages the latest advances in open data and predictive technologies, atmospheric sciences research, Internet of Things air pollution sensors, and collective awareness platforms to sense, track, map and predict air pollutants across urban areas. It builds upon Plume Labs's revolutionary environmental health sensors for consumers and its successful API (supported by the H2020 Open Data Incubator in Europe programme) to build an open environmental data platform for smart cities. Plume Labs empowers citizens to improve their environmental health. Its connected devices for everyday urban life help consumers track their personal exposure to pollution; its data platform maps live air quality levels and forecasts around the world. Plume has received numerous awards, was featured in major international media, and has helped foster climate action by shining a light on the global air pollution crisis.

Research is now focused on the potential contribution of plant-based proteins to help solve key issues pertaining to global food security. Protein hydrolysates have numerous properties which make them an attractive protein source in human nutrition and are utilized in many commercial food applications. Hydrolysed vegetable proteins (HVP) have demonstrated bioactive and techno-functional properties that can be further exploited for the development of functional-foods. The HVP market is dominated by soy varieties, and there is now a growing demand for alternative plant based sources. However, significant research advances are required in order to increase the direct use of plant protein for human food consumption, with a particular emphasis on extraction and processing technologies used to derive increased nutritional value and improved functional physical properties. From a commercial standpoint, vegetable proteins have taste attributes such as chalkiness and bitterness which present a major challenge in commercialization. This project will address the significant potential for application of superior tasting vegetable protein hydrolysates with improved food use properties for the functional foods market globally; this will be achieved by investigating the efficacy of a range of commercially available proteases in producing HVPs under controlled enzymatic conditions using a variety of vegetable substrates. Degree of hydrolysis, protein recovery, chemical composition and techno-functional properties of HVPs will be compared/contrasted before further optimization of characters, e.g. de-bittering, solubility, necessary for the their implementation in end use markets. Our primary goal is to engineer a clean tasting HVP with improved sensory and techno-functional capacity and an enzyme system suitable for its production.

A free, democratic and open EU provides endless opportunities for its people. However, growth is not without risk, especially in cyberspace, in the ubiquity of connected devices and rapid technological change. Criminality is also adapting, seeking opportunity and taking on new forms. CC-DRIVER will use a multidisciplinary approach from the domains of psychology, criminology, anthropology, neurobiology and cyberpsychology to investigate, identify, understand and explain drivers of new forms of criminality. We will focus on human factors that determine criminal behaviours such as cyber juvenile delinquency and adolescent hacking. Scientific investigation of drivers into cybercrime, impact of online disinhibition and the effect of youth decision-making processes will inform our evidence-based intervention, mitigation and deterrence strategies. Our measures will be designed to educate regarding criminality and to divert youth from crime. Our consortium will investigate “cybercrime-as-a-service”, its modalities, purveyors and trends so that Member States, stakeholders and citizens have a shared view of the dimensions of cybercriminality, its impact on our society and economy and what we, collectively and individually, can do to overcome them. We will produce a youth self-assessment online metric tool designed to help understand cybercriminal behaviour and to prompt positive pathways. We will also develop a self-assessment questionnaire so that SMEs, CSOs and other stakeholders can assess their vulnerability to cybercrime attacks. For LEAs, we will produce tools to gather evidence and investigate and mitigate cybercrime operations. We will produce policy templates for combatting online cybercriminality. We will deliver opportunities for EU LEAs to exchange knowledge and experiences with a view to fostering common European approaches and strengthening the European Security Union as an area of freedom, justice, security and, importantly, opportunity.

In Serbia, as in other parts of the world, small and medium-sized enterprises show comparative advantage due to flexibility, i.e., rapid adaptation to changes in the environment, the entrepreneurship and the innovativeness. On the other hand, this group of enterprises has a problem with providing specific resources underlying the innovations, but also the problem of solvency, i.e., to fund innovative activities. Which is typical for the economies with limited capital and restrictive investment policies, such as Serbia. Taking into account all this, the Enterprise Europe Network could play a crucial role in bridging the gaps of knowledge, resources and skills that could be essential for increasing the innovation capacity of SMEs, especially in experience and knowledge sharing, training and consultation EEN could provide assistance to managers and entrepreneurs in all phases of the development of new products and services, from concept to commercialization. The overall objective of EEN Client Inno Journey is to increase Summary Innovation Index of Serbia providing services that will help to foster innovation and drive a fast growth of Serbian economy.

Ethnic and cultural diversity has sharply increased in modern societies due to migration processes. However, the implication of this for adolescents facing the core task of developing their identities are still mostly unknown. For both adolescents without and with a migrant background (e.g., recent refugees, second-generation immigrants) growing up in societies with increasing levels of diversity can be challenging, as they have to manage their identities acknowledging that how they address the core question “who am I?” could be the result of a dynamic process based on multiple and diverse social interactions. The IDENTITIES project adopts a cross-fertilization approach, integrating developmental and social-psychological models, to provide a ground-breaking knowledge on the processes leading to the well-being of adolescents with and without a migrant background. By proposing a multidimensional ecological developmental intergroup perspective, the project aims to examine: (1) how intergroup experiences in ecological contexts (from parents, friends, school, and leisure microsystems to cultural macrosystems) influence the development of adolescents’ (personal, social, and human) identities; (2) how the interplay of identities affects adolescents’ (physical, psychological, and social) well-being; (3) how intergroup experiences in multiple ecological contexts influence adolescents’ well-being disentangling direct and indirect effects (mediated by identities). To achieve these aims, a longitudinal study with 2,250 adolescents from two cohorts will be conducted, including multiple annual, monthly, and daily assessments and applying a multi-informant design (with quantitative data collected from adolescents, parents, teachers, school principals, municipal administrators, archives, and non-invasive medical devices) and it will be complemented by a case study with a narrative approach conducted with 50 adolescents who have lived abroad for at least three months.

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are two key half-reactions in electrochemical water splitting, which is an eco-friendly technology to produce hydrogen. Both of the half-reactions are limited by high overpotentials and interaction between the reactions. Until now, electrochemical water splitting still relies on some inorganic noble-metal catalysts. Exploiting highly-efficient low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts is a promising method to solve these issues. Thus, CarbonChem project aims at overcoming the limitation of traditional inorganic materials and re-defining the designing concept to construct organic framework electrocatalyst for HER and OER. Owing to the high designability and porous structure, organic frameworks are considered as a reasonable alternative to construct electrocatalysts; but the low conductivity strictly restricts their utilization. Incorporation sp-hybridization of graphdiyne (GDY) into organic frameworks can overcome the bottleneck, which provides the possibility for achieving organic electrocatalysts. As a result of single chemical composition, the active centres of GDY are consisted of unsaturated C and N sites, which are hard to provide high catalytic activities for HER and OER. Focusing on this issue, this project will give new insights on GDYs, providing a design concept for their chemical structure. Employing conjugated porphyrin with four coordinated N sites is a new strategy for introducing metal atoms into GDYs. Constructed metalloporphyrin-based graphdiyne (MPGDY) is fully consistent with the design principle of electrocatalyst: high conductivity, effective active sites and mesoporous structure. This research will develop an efficient bifunctional MPGDY electrocatalyst, for European hydrogen industry. The ER will achieve abundant research experience and scientific skills from the CarbonChem project and the capability to launch his own research group in future.
