BIM2TWIN aims to build a Digital Building Twin (DBT) platform for construction management that implements lean principles to reduce operational waste of all kinds, shortening schedules, reducing costs, enhancing quality and safety and reducing carbon footprint. BIM2TWIN proposes a comprehensive, holistic approach. It consists of a (DBT) platform that provides full situational awareness and an extensible set of construction management applications. It supports a closed loop Plan-Do-Check-Act mode of construction. Its key features are: 1> Grounded conceptual analysis of data, information and knowledge in the context of DBTs, which underpins a robust system architecture 2> A common platform for data acquisition and complex event processing to interpret multiple monitored data streams from construction site and supply chain to establish real-time project status in a Project Status Model (PSM) 3> Exposure of the PSM to a suite of construction management applications through an easily accessible application programming interface (API) and directly to users through a visual information dashboard 4> Applications include monitoring of schedule, quantities & budget, quality, safety, and environmental impact. 5> PSM representation based on property graph semanticaly linked to the Building Information Model (BIM) and all project management data. The property graph enables flexible, scalable storage of raw monitoring data in different formats, as well as storage of interpreted information. It enables smooth transition from construction to operation. BIM2TWIN is a broad, multidisciplinary consortium with hand-picked partners who together provide an optimal combination of knowledge, expertise and experience in a variety of monitoring technologies, artificial intelligence, computer vision, information schema and graph databases, construction management, equipment automation and occupational safety. The DBT platform will be experimented on 3 demo sites (SP, FR, FI).

Main objective of this proposal is to launch a novel multifunctional window (MLSYSTEM), which is a glazed insulating glass unit integrated with semi-transparent photovoltaics (panels of all generations) on the EU market. It was developed by a R&D department of ML System. Current available solutions can not be full-competitive to MLSYSTEM. There are PV panels, PV mounting systems, heatable insulated glass units, radiators. The main innovative feature of our technology is a cost-effective integration of properties of all these products. Thanks to 3rd generation solar cells application, higher aesthetic, transparency and better power reduction parameter in relation to any PV technology used so far on Building-Integrated PV sector could be achieved. We intend to contribute to solving one of the European’s main problem, as well as one of the real estate’s market problems. Buildings are the biggest primary energy consumer and Europe’s CO2 emitter. 30% of energy consumed in buildings is used unnecessarily or inefficiently. 30-50% of energy loss is attributed to air leakage and heat transfer. One of the main sources of these losses are windows. Our innovative solution allows for environmental-friendly electrical energy production and thermal energy transfer into a heated room simultaneously manner and is much cheaper than competing solutions. At least 39,000 of tons reduction of CO2 emissions will be achieved every year. Moreover the European efficiency-related construction market is expected to double to €140 billion by 2020 from €70 billion in 2011 - we are ready to exploit this business opportunity. Feasibility study will enable us to verify the technological feasibility and economic viability of launching MLSYSTEM on different EU markets, which will contribute to solving the aforementioned problems. PHASE I is only the beginning and we believe it will lead to PHASE II. This will enable us to identify resources needed for commercial implementation of our technology.

Breast cancer is the most common cause of death among women. For lowering the mortality rates and improving life quality, it would be beneficial to diagnose and treat diseases early. Dedicated Positron Emission Tomography (PET) application Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) has been developed for functional medical imaging of specific breast cancer biomarkers. PEM enables accurate detection of small malignant tumors at an earlier stage. However, it suffers from major limitations on becoming suitable for general screening purposes. One of the limitations is that the process exposes the patients to relatively high ionizing radiation doses causing poor total risk-benefit ratios. The project addresses this challenge and contributes to providing safe oncology screening possibilities available for larger patient-base. This project will demonstrate the proof of concept of a state-of-the-art nuclear imaging innovation, which will enable the detection of energy deposition with significantly improved energy and time resolution levels of a PET application. Our approach features high quality pictures with considerably lower radio-tracer dose levels than the current commercial scanners. This is enabled by an order of a magnitude improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio over the current time-of-flight PET scanners. The innovation comprise a novel combination of scintillating and photonic crystals for an improved light output efficiency and fast electronics. As a complementing technology to PEM imaging system, it contributes to safer cancer scanning modality while shortening the scanning process. This results to improved process throughput and vast socio-economic benefits. Within the project, the imaging system technical performance will be benchmarked to a dedicated medical imaging application, such as PEM. The project also addresses the commercialisation considerations, economical feasibility and assesses the system cost. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with a potential exploitation entity.

The production of the next generation of oxygen-barrier polyolefins materials capable of meeting the current and future demands of society in a sustainable manner will require both new technologies and highly trained scientists. Supramolecular chemistry provides a powerful approach to develop new materials with emerging properties, such as low permeability to oxygen, maintaining easy processing. The SUPRABARRIER EID ITN will train a new generation of European scientists with the skills necessary to overcome such future demands and simultaneously develop new strategies for the production of new polymeric systems, which greatly impact important fields such as food and medical packaging. The EID proponents are experts in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and polymer production. Expertise of the partners encompasses the general areas of supramolecular and polymer chemistry, with individual research competencies focusing on a number of specific themes including non-covalent chemistry, supramolecular interactions, polymer blending, polymer processing, polymer production, and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis and characterisation techniques of complex polymeric and self-assembled materials. The complementarity and diversity realized in synthesis, analysis, development, production and applications is crucial for successful research, innovation and training in this area. The partner from the private sector will extend the fellows’ training beyond that of traditional academic settings, in particular he will have the critical role of bridging fundamental science with application and commercialisation of the results. Our activities will thus possess both breadth and quality that can only be achieved through an interdisciplinary Academy/Industrial European effort.

Multi-IF proposes a fully innovative approach combining nanoscience, fluorescence microscopy and cancer histopathology to achieve optically multiplexed immunofluorescence for cancer diagnostic. At present, when examining cancer tissue, biomarker analyses are sequential and require several biopsy slices implying a lot of (not always available) biological material. Testing several biomarkers on a single tissue biopsy slice in an efficient, quantitative and reproducible way, would be crucial but not currently available at hospital. This project will involve an innovative technology based on single-walled carbon nanotubes to create a library of novel multicolor immuno-labels. More precisely, this will employ sp3 defects implanted fluorescent ultrashort nanotubes together with the development of a dedicated NIR microscope for multiplexed immunofluorescence on a single biopsy and the proof-of-concept on liver cancer tissue. The applicant will bring strong expertise in chemical synthesis, bioprobe spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence microscopy applied to the study of complex and heterogeneous bio-molecular organization (2D/3D cells, proteins and peptides). Concomitantly, he will gain a high-level hands-on training on carbon nanotube optics, near-infrared advanced spectroscopy, custom-built microscopy techniques, cancer tissue model and imaging analysis. To achieve this objective, the project will be performed at one of the leading French research institution, IOGS-LP2N at the CNRS/Univ. Bordeaux, with well-identified work packages to ensure efficient management, career development and training, science development, communication and technology transfer to pathologists. It will allow the applicant to reach high level of professional maturity to develop independent research career. The fellow’s expertise, privileged environment of the hosting lab, the mentoring, the infrastructure & relevant facilities will guarantee the successful execution of Multi-IF goals.

One of the most intriguing, yet controversial findings in neuroscience in the past two decades is the discovery of the mirror neuron system (MNS). These visuo-motor neurons discharge both when a monkey does a particular goal-directed action and also when it observes another individual doing a similar action. The result of this mechanism is thought to be the capacity to recognize that an individual is performing an action, to differentiate this action from others analogous to it, and to use this information in order to act appropriately. This mechanism has been proposed as the basis for social cognition, and deficits in social understanding, such as those seen in autism spectrum disorder, have been linked to deficits in the MNS. Here I propose to use 2 novel approaches to address the neurobiological and behavioral significance of the human mirror neuron system (hMNS). (a) I will use Electrocorticography (ECoG) in neurosurgical patients to assess where, when, and how neurons in the prefrontal, parietal and sensorimotor regions are involved in action recognition. (b) I will employ scalp EEG and behavioral measures in a unique cohort of patients with damage centered in the Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG) or the Inferior Parietal Lobule (IPL). If the IFG and IPL are the core regions of the hMNS, patients with lesions to these regions should show deficits in understanding others’ actions, intentions and emotions (when these are expressed by body motion). This research will further our knowledge on the neural underpinnings of social understanding, and on the consequences of deficits in these neural networks.

To save more lives, civilian rotorcraft operators need to reduce operating time in the Search and Rescue missions or Emergency Medical Services. The primary answer to this time saving challenge is firstly, increase the speed of the rotorcraft and secondly, develop some innovative rotorcraft sub-systems facilitating patients access to the rescuers and the rotorcraft. Coupled to speeder, safer, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-efficient demands for the next generation of rotorcraft, CLEVER project is a perfect response to this challenge. Participating to the LifeRCraft Fast Rotorcraft development lead by Airbus Helicopter, Vision Systems Aeronautics through the CLEVER project will focus on the two main sub-systems development in the rotorcraft access in period of urgency: the emergency exits and the cabin footstep. In addition, acoustical and optical performances enhancements are proactively proposed to reinforce pilot’s safety and passenger’s comfort. Being a recognized EASA Part 21G Tier One System Supplier, Vision Systems Aeronautics proposes to completely develop and produce enhanced lightweight and aerodynamically efficient innovative composite doors and cabin footstep for the Clean Sky 2 FRC program able to be shortly introduced in mass-production. From first concept study at TRL4, up-to final qualification and flight test campaign completion and support at TRL8, Vision Systems Aeronautics will be the Partner expected by the Topic Leader, proposing simultaneously innovations and safe production readiness. A total of three complete high performant doors (left cockpit, right cockpit and cabin) and one cabin footstep demonstrators will be produced to issue required qualification tests, to deliver first functional airworthy prototypes and to equip the flying ITD LifeRCraft demonstrator.

Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) are vital components of communications receivers and remote sensing receivers. Continually evolving applications require continually better LNA performance, at higher frequency and bandwidth, but existing LNA technologies do not deliver low noise performance or high efficiency in a cost-effective manner. As a result, the deployment of some emerging strategic technologies, such as 5G communications or mm-Wave remote sensing, is held up. Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductors have a long history in very low noise performance LNAs, but have to date been very expensive to produce. This has limited their use to niche high-end applications such as radio astronomy. The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, has been producing advanced InP High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) for over a decade. These have been deployed with e.g. the European Space Agency ESTRACK deep space communications network. The technology has a proven track record: a noise figure 58% below the state-of-the-art, and a 60% higher data rate with flagship European deep space probes. Swiss startup Diramics AG was spun off from ETH in 2016, to commercialise a production methodology to bring InP technology to broader markets at a competitive cost. Diramics has raised €722k in funding, and has already sold €220k of its initial pH-100 discrete pHEMT transistors. Now, Diramics is developing higher-value InP products, including Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and LNA Modules to fill the clear gap in higher volume markets. This project is the first step in bringing these products to market, within 4 years. We forecast €27M in revenues by 2024 and 150 FTEs, addressing a €100Ms LNA market.
