The high current density required for population inversion in organic semiconductors has made the realization of an organic laser diode rather challenging. Here, I propose an organic polariton laser diode (OPLD) in which the threshold is achieved through the mechanism of polariton condensation. This conceptually different lasing mechanism does not require population inversion, suggesting that lasing under electrical injection can be, for the first time, demonstrated in organic semiconductors. To date, most commercial laser diodes are based on inorganic semiconductors, which are expensive materials, require complex fabrication and manufacturing processes, and have a limited range of lasing wavelengths. Organic semiconductors, in contrast, are ideal materials for the industrial production of diode lasers and other optoelectronic devices due to their ease of fabrication and processing, low acquisition-cost, and broad spectrum of emission. The realization of the first OPLD within this fellowship will be tremendously important for the European market. In 2014, diode-laser technology comprised 46% of the total revenue ($9.4 billion) in the global laser market. Moreover, emerging automotive lighting (BMW Laserlight) and high-definition laser display (LG LASER display) technologies could enable diode lasers to overtake the global laser market. Therefore, any steps towards the realization of the first organic laser diode (or organic solid state laser) would represent a significant technological and scientific achievement. Furthermore, the proposed device offers a totally new, due to its electrical pumping, platform for fundamental studies of quantum fluids of light.

The loss of biodiversity and degradation of ecosystems jeopardize the sustainable provision of ecosystem services and are major scientific and societal challenges. Addressing this challenge and providing scientific support to stakeholders and policy makers requires a coherent interdisciplinary research framework, with coordinated strategies and programmes at the national, regional and international levels, which are the relevant scales for many biodiversity issues. By networking 32 funding agencies from 18 countries, BiodivERsA3 aims to strengthen the ERA on biodiversity. Building on the previous experiences of the projects BiodivERsA1&2 and NetBiome, BiodivERsA3 will promote and support coordinated pan-European research on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It will strengthen research and research programmes coordination with the ultimate aim to provide policy makers and other stakeholders with adequate knowledge, tools and practical solutions to address biodiversity and ecosystem degradation. The objectives are to: - Enhance the capacity of the network to coordinate research programmes on biodiversity and ecosystem services more completely in Europe (including overseas territories) and to increase the international dimension of BiodivERsA activities - Develop a strategic, multi-annual vision of the network’s priorities, based on ambitious mapping and foresight activities developed in collaboration with key initiatives in the field - Design and implement a co-funded call and other joint calls to better integrate research on biodiversity and ecosystem services across Europe - Develop a range of other joint activities, in particular alignment of national research programmes for biodiversity and ecosystem services, and activities for promoting mobility and equal opportunities for researchers and reinforcing data sharing - Promote effective science-policy and science-society (including science-business) dialogue during the whole research process

It is widely recognized both in the research literature as well as among policymakers that existing economic statistics are not well suited to measuring work that is transacted entirely digitally via websites and apps (the so-called online gig economy). To address this problem, as part of the ERC-funded research project iLABOUR, we have developed the "Online Labour Index" (OLI), an online gig economy equivalent of conventional labour market statistics. The OLI has already had major international social impact by exposing the geographic and occupational divisions in the otherwise invisible online labour market. But our availability has become a bottleneck for realising its maximum social benefit. Currently, when policy makers, journalists, and other practitioners wish to use the OLI data in their publications, a degree of expert manual work is required to turn the raw data into a suitable form, such as an Excel file comprising easily digestible data on the relevant countries, occupations, and time spans. As a result, in response to the demand from the practitioners, we have ended up performing an unsustainable amount of manual work to help them access the data. Using the resources of the PoC grant, we will: 1) Develop a user-friendly online interface for the OLI that allows practitioners to export Excel files of their desired specification to use in preparing policy reports, journalistic articles, and similar. 2) Establish a partnership with a public organization that will turn the OLI from a research experiment into a public tool that will continue to be available after the end of the iLABOUR research project. 3) Further disseminate the OLI's findings by writing policy reports based on the OLI data in cooperation with selected partners, and 4) Establish a roadmap and funding model for the future development and expansion of the OLI in accordance with practitioner needs.

BonsAPPs will develop a fully functional (TRL-8), scalable AI-as-a-Service layer (AI-aaS) that will interoperate with the AI on demand platform as an external service. The service layer will enhance an existing AI platform (Bonseyes Marketplace) to cover experimentation, benchmarking, deployment and secure licensing of AI solutions at the Deep Edge. Project-funded Use Cases will demonstrate how Bonseyes Marketplace Platform simplifies time-consuming non-functional tasks in AI design, produces AI at a lower cost and offers specific means to scale innovations once put into the market. Two rounds of use cases will drive supply from AI professionals and demand from End Users to explore the potential gains of AI at the Deep Edge. End users, mainly SMEs/non-tech users lacking internal innovation capacities, will receive guidance in launching Industry Challenges fitting their needs. Specialized AI developers and integrators (AI Talents) will engage with them into an open innovation cycle to solve challenges; Edge AI Apps will be developed and integrated in Solutions at the Deep Edge using different deployment platforms. Coordinated by an AI SME-aware of existing barriers to bring AI innovations into the market, eight complementary partners participate: six technology partners in charge of frontend, backend , security and licensing and interoperability with development platforms, (will also provide technical support to the Use Case Owners); a specialist in Open Call Management; a specialist in digital business coordinating communication and dissemination. AI Talents involved will also have the possibility, under specific re-use licensing framework, of commercializing these results (develop new Apps/Solutions for other end users). Engagement of all relevant audiences (AI4EU community, AI researchers/developers, non-tech SMEs, clusters and value-chain leaders) is secured by the outreach capacities of partners to startups, corporate-led/RTO-led AI and Digital Innovation Hubs.

WINBOXTOOL will develop a versatile prototype tooling set (80% of the tooling in common for LH & RH) for the cost efficiency Assembly and Transport of the Morphing Winglet and Multifunctional Outer Flaps of the next generation optimized wing box (reduction of 15% in time and 10% in cost). The proposed innovative approach, based on the utilisation of a fully automated all-in-one machine (Figure 1) and additive manufacturing technologies, eliminates the effect of most of the errors and geometrical deviations in the tooling production and assembling processes due to the implementation of a single and fully controlled working environment. In WINBOXTOOL, a manufacturing and assembling environment (TRL 4) will be validated and demonstrated in a relevant environment (TRL 5-6) for the production of the prototype tooling set. After the end of the project, WINBOXTOOL will be an affordable solution for the versatility and cost efficiency manufacturing (reduction of 10 % in time and 20% in cost) of tooling solutions, which could be applied to new tools, especially for large parts. The success of WINBOXTOOL to obtain finished functional tooling (tolerance under 0.1 mm and Ra = 0.1 µm) direct from CAD, in all-in-one machine combined with additive manufacturing technolodies, pass through overcoming several technological challenges: 1 To establish a high accuracy permanent tracking environment for the manufacturing and assembling processes of the prototype tooling set 2 To enable the all-in-one machine for high accuracy assembling operations for the jibs and other accessories related to the prototype tooling set 3 To improve the ergonomic, accuracy and automation of the human operations associated to the prototype tooling set 4 To design and produce auxiliary tooling by means of novel additive manufacturing technologies 5 To increase the capacities of the simulation and analysis system according to the prototype tooling set requirements and the aeronautical quality standards

This document describes the research to be undertaken by the project OptiFrame – “An Optimization Framework for Trajectory Based Operations” - funded by the EU call “SESAR 2020 Exploratory Research: First Call for Research Project”, research topic “Trajectory Based Operations (TBO)” (ER-09-2015), within the area “ATM Applications-Oriented Research”. The project consortium comprises University of Lancaster (Project Coordinator), the Consorzio Futuro in Ricerca, Eurocontrol and the Stichting Nationaal Lucht- en Ruimtevaartlaboratorium (NLR). OptiFrame is motivated by the need of studying a number of fundamental questions related to TBO, a key element of future ATM operating concepts. The main objective of this research proposal is the application of principles of mathematical modelling and optimization to optimally configure and assess the performance of the TBO concept. This will allow to verify the viability of the TBO concept, to identify the major issues that need to be addressed, and determine whether, under which conditions, and to what extent, the objectives of flexibility of airspace users and predictability of the ATM system, can be achieved. The core activity and focus of this proposal is the development of a framework, which consists of mathematical models and optimization algorithms, “to support the ATFCM decision making process” by suggesting optimal TBO solutions. The framework will be applied in real world instances, and it will be used to perform a wide array of analyses. We will use OptiFrame as a tool to: i) investigate several of the issues and questions arising for the exploitation and deployment of the TBO concept, ii) fully understand the benefits and limitations of the TBO approach, and iii) study the trade-off between different contrasting KPIs relevant for the TBO concept.

This proposal relates to the sustainability of grassroots, collaborative and participative socio-technical communities to the extent that it focuses on the paradigmatic case of playbour: a concept describing “a condition where play is work and work is play“ and referring to those collaborative and participative assemblages where the dimensions of fun and enjoyment, typical of engagement in play, blur and mix with the ones of productivity and professionalization of participation. Overarching goal of this proposal is to develop a set of guidelines and principles which would support practitioners and scholars in nurturing collaborative infrastructures that embed sustainability by (co)design. The research relies on the analytical lens of infrastructure and infrastructural inversion typical of Science and Technology Studies (STS). At the empirical level the research involves a comparative case study approach which will examine socio-technical collectives which are engaged in playbour and are in the maturity stage of their life cycle. Qualitative data gathering (participant observation and interviewing) and inductive analysis techniques (grounded theory) will be adopted for this study. The impact of this study will be relevant to the extent that European Commission is also trying to nurture and steer collaborative, grassroots and innovative initiatives (e.g. "Open and Participative Innovation" and "Collective Awareness Platform for Sustainability and Social Innovation” frames). The result of this research will also provide practical insights for the sustainability of these instances.

The ‘universalization of the Holocaust’ has established the Shoah as an historical reference point legitimizing a global moral imperative to respect human rights. Much has been written about the ostensible ‘globalization of memory’, but as yet no genuinely global comparative study systematically confronting this hypothesis with the actual representations of atrocities exists. GMM breaks new ground by examining memorial museums on four continents, arguing that what is called ‘globalization’ in fact comprises three to some degree contradictory trends: 1) The US Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem are role models for a universal moral orientation that focuses on the individual victim and generates aesthetic ‘standards’ for musealization. 2) The German concept of negative memory, self-critically confronting the crimes committed by her own population, has inspired museums to tackle the question of one’s own complicity in order to challenge collective self-victimization and the externalization of responsibility. 3) The genocides of the 1990s led to a ‘forensic turn’: the investigation of bones & other material evidence of atrocities has changed the way in situ memorial museums deal with material traces of violence. This shift has also impacted ‘old’ memorial sites like Sobibor, which has become a site of archaeological research after 70 years. GMM examines 50 memorial museums dealing with - the WWII period in the US, Israel, Europe, China, and Japan; - recent genocides in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. Scholars claim that ‘globalized’ memorial museums reflect new moral standards and a new language of commemoration, but what is the price of the attendant de-contextualization in the name of moral universals? GMM’s wholly original global typology of memorial museums has the potential to act as a genuine game changer that challenges the concept of ‘universal memory’ and the notion that memorial museums constitute a globalized space of communication and negotiation.
