At EIT Urban Mobility (EIT UM), our mission is to accelerate change towards a sustainable mobility model for liveable urban spaces. All our activities serve the three societal impact goals of improving quality of life in cities, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and creating jobs that strengthen the European urban mobility sector. The Business Plan (BP) 2023-2025 is the main tool to drive forward the implementation of our Strategic Agenda 2021-2027. The activities described in this BP are oriented along three intervention areas: bringing talent to business, bringing innovations to the market, and bringing startups to scale. In line with these, this BP aims to leverage on the new partnership model introduced in 2022 which prioritises openness and accessibility of the network to reach impact goals with a strong community of over 200 active partners per year. Nine Challenge Areas stemming from city challenges are prioritized within this BP to provide topical direction and enable the highest innovation potential with maximum societal, ecological, and economic impact. In parallel to delivering on impact, we aim to boost our programme elements towards becoming financially sustainable. After testing various revenue mechanisms in 2021 and 2022, we are putting a stronger focus on equity as a substantive revenue stream. Furthermore, partnership growth will be boosted across all regions and with a focus on a steep growth of participating SMEs. Finally, alternative funding sources such as bidding for EU and national funding will be ramped up, and private sponsors for pilots will be attracted. Overall, the BP2023-2025 takes a substantial step on EIT UM’s path towards becoming a social impact investor. It fosters both – efficiency in the delivery of the Financial Sustainability strategy as well as the creation of social impact through strong efforts in implementing the EIT and KIC Impact Frameworks – and by that guides EIT UM towards achieving our mission.

A thousand years before Europeans arrived in the Americas, a vast region, covering what is now North-western Mexico and the US Southwest, was inhabited by speakers of languages belonging to the Uto-Aztecan language family. Often described as nomads in a hostile periphery between the cultures of Mesoamerica and the Puebloan cultures of the US Southwest, this project puts the speakers of Southern Uto-Aztecan (SUA) languages at the centre, seeking to achieve two objectives: 1. To recover aspects of ancient SUA people's language and world-view 2. To map cultural and linguistic flows moving through the SUA-sphere in the millennia before European colonization. The project brings to bear the full scope of methods of contemporary historical linguistics: It combines qualitative methods of historical linguistics and narratology with quantitative lexicostatistical and phylogeographic methods to analyse the historical relations between SUA languages, and to analyse developments of SUA mythological traditions. Integrating a component of language documentation, the project works with indigenous scholars and communities to contribute to ongoing efforts of indigenous language maintenance. The project will achieve its two objectives, by undertaking research in three workpackages: WP1 Language Documentation documents the lexicon of two underdocumented SUA languages (Náayeri and Wixárika) creating two new dictionaries. WP2 Qualitative Historical Linguistics uses the dictionaries to build an etymological database of SUA languages and an online database of glossed and annotated mythological texts. It also applies historical comparative analyses to both mythical and lexical data to reconstruct aspects of ancient SUA language and culture. WP3 Quantitative Phylogenetics uses the etymological and mythical databases for phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses. It pioneers the use of an innovative method for reconciliation of 'word-trees' to produce new phylogenies.

ANDROMEDA is an unprecedented study regarding the philosophy and epistemology of dark matter and modified gravity. The project will synthesize existing knowledge from cosmology and philosophy of science in order to realize an innovative and original study of the epistemological foundations of the debate between theories of dark matter and theories of modified gravity as competing explanations of specific cosmological observations. The main objectives of ANDROMEDA are (a) to develop a philosophically informed historical narrative of the parallel development of dark matter theory and modified gravity as an alternative, (b) to identify the most appropriate epistemic values by which dark matter and modified gravity theories should be assessed and compared to each other, and (c) to examine the extent to which certain models of dark matter and modified gravity theory should be evaluated as mutually exclusive and competing explanations of certain phenomena. The clear elucidation of these issues will create new avenues for a constructive dialogue between the dark matter and modified gravity communities in physics and will advance the public understanding of theory choice in astrophysics, demonstrating how philosophy can (i) make useful and substantial contributions to an important on-going scientific problem, and (ii) facilitate the communication of scientific challenges to the public.

The CILANTRO technology offers a groundbreaking solution to reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional cement production. CILANTRO introduces non-thermal, Direct Tribochemical Hydrogenolysis (DTCH) of calcium carbonate with silica yielding no CO2 emission and producing solid (CaO)nSiO2 (where n = 1,2,3) - the essential component of Ordinary Portland Cement. This innovative approach significantly deviates from current practices by bypassing the high-temperature steps of the conventional production process, which are fueled by fossil fuels, such as limestone calcination and clinkerization. It also co-produce CO which is the resource of synthetic fuels and offers another benefit to reducing carbon footprint. The key DTCH reaction design utilizes free-radical intermediates generated by rubbing/shearing of limestone and sand without heating, followed by in situ reduction of carbonate with H2. To suppress the competitive reactions which can lead to undesired minor CO2 emission DTCH procedure and parameters will be analyzed by laboratory measurements and computer simulations at different levels. To carry out the DTCH at scale, CILANTRO aims to design a new well-controlled tribo-reactor having a mechanical principle similar to the existing comminution mills in cement plants. It is expected that CILANTRO technology can be easily scaled up and employed as a new asset. By using electricity and H2 from renewable sources, the whole cement production process can be carbon-neutral. Given the natural/accelerated carbonation of concrete fabricated from CILANTRO binders the cement can achieve significant net CO2 sink over the concrete lifecycle. CILANTRO is compatible with other approaches and processes addressed within the portfolio such as combination with supplementary cementitious materials, carbonation curing, and increasing binder efficiency.

6G-SENSES proposes the integration of novel 6G RAN technologies such as Cell-Free (CF) Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) to support the 6G vision that is sustained by the current (and future) architectural framework based on 3GPP and O-RAN. The project considers a multi-technology RAN ecosystem with technologies that are able to offer sensing functionalities. These technologies are Sub-6, Wi-Fi, millimeter wave and 5G NR, which will coexist in a JCAS framework whose goal is to retrieve as much information as possible from the surrounding environment to improve energy efficiency, reduce power consumption and favour communication at high data rates. Additionally, some of these technologies will be amenable to be integrated in the first implementation of a fully distributed CF-mMIMO scheme using mmWave and Sub-6 technologies. WIth the aim to enhance availability and coverage and to improve sensing performance, will leverage Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) making use of the distributed nature of the access points and availability of multiple antennas. An optimization of distributed signal processing and resource allocation schemes tailored for RIS-assisted CF network architecture is proposed. This framework will make use of new PHY technologies to increase the cooperation among access points and their inherent capabilities to improve the precision/accuracy of the sensing capabilities. Sensing information stemming from these technologies will be pushed to the O-RAN framweork for optimization purposes using the Radio Intelligent Controllers (RICs). A total of three Proof-of-Concept demonstrations will be showcased, which encompass the proposed objectives of the project in a single infrastructure.

Our recent discovery of altermagnets has opened science and technology opportunities unparalleled in the two conventional classes of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Moreover, the direct analogy of a d-wave spin-polarization order in altermagnets to the unconventional d-wave superconducting order in cuprates suggests that we now hold a key to a vast uncharted territory of unconventional magnetism. In my project, I will identify unconventional forms of magnetism beyond the d-wave cuprate counterparts, including such prominent examples as magnetic counterparts of s$^\pm$-wave pnictide superconductors or p-wave superfluid He-3. To build a “periodic table” of unconventional even and odd-parity wave magnets, I will develop a generalized symmetry-based methodology, tailored to a variable hierarchy of interactions across this large materials' territory. With the “periodic table” of unconventional magnetism, I will remove fundamental roadblocks in research and applications of relativistic and topological phases based on conventional magnets: the non-conserved spin of relativistic electrons, and the fragility of topological phases with non-dissipative electronic transport. I will demonstrate: (i) Even-parity-wave magnetism with time-reversal-symmetry breaking in the electronic structure accompanied by a vanishing net magnetization, and with conserved spin of relativistic electrons. (ii) Odd-parity-wave magnetism with time-reversal-invariant electronic structure, and with a strong exchange spin-splitting counterpart of the conventional weak relativistic spin splitting. (iii) Robust synergy of unconventional magnetism with topological phases in one common crystal. Armed with (i-iii), I will show the path to spin-conserved and non-dissipative electronic transport at ambient conditions using the unconventional magnets. This can pave the way for future ultra temporally and spatially scalable and energy-efficient spin-based electronics.

Lithium-metal solid-state batteries (LMSSBs) are regarded as highly promising Post-Lithium-Ion Technology due to their high energy density and exceptional safety. However, their practical application remains challenging because of the interfacial issues at the metallic lithium|solid-state electrolyte interface (e.g., contact resistance and dendrite formation). In this regard, interlayer engineering based on carbon materials with different dimensions and fluorination degrees has been proposed to effectively address interfacial issues. Specifically, carbon quantum dots (0D), nanostripes (1D), and nanosheets (2D) will be used to clarify the influence of the geometric structure of carbon on the plating/stripping performance of lithium ions. Also, the fluorination degrees of carbon nanostructures will be precisely regulated to quantitively understand the fluorine chemistry-electrochemical performance relationships. Ultimately, this project will fill the knowledge gap in geometric design and chemical modification of carbon-based interlayer materials for developing safety LMSSBs with energy density > 500 Wh kg-1 and cycling life > 2000 times.

Despite a decrease since the 90s, 3.1M non-fatal accidents still happen at work, with at least four days of absence from work, and around 3 300 fatal accidents in the EU-27. These work-related accidents and illnesses cost the EU economy 460 b€ in 2019, i.e., 3.3% of GDP annually. Production machines are one of the accident causes. In France, 10 to 15% of accidents at work are related to their use, leading to working day lost equivalent to a company of 15000 people that do not work for a whole year. In 2021 the EC proposed a new strategic framework for Health and Safety at Work (HSW) to protect health (incl. mental) and safety of its 170 million workers and achieve sustained decent working conditions for all workers, especially in the new world of work brought about by the digital transitions and industry 5.0. Digital transition is driven by the introduction of robots, AI and remote work that reduce the risks of dangerous tasks and increases productivity. But cognitive overload, digital fatigue, mental exhaustion and various forms of ‘techno-stress’ are also increasing and shall be tackled to ensure HSW. EARASHI will support Start-ups and SMEs in the uptake of advanced digital eco-responsible technologies (in particular AI, data and robotics) to help workers in their daily activities and improve their working conditions (safety, health and well-being) leading to productivity increase. Through open calls, 10 beneficiaries will access to leading edge technologies and test facilities from RTOs and industrial partners, business support, mentoring by industrial pairs, support in Ethics, system integration and user acceptance. Selected projects will focus on improving work conditions and worker trust and acceptance of collaborative embodied AI in robotic systems for the production machine application field. By investing early in and sustaining competitive emerging enabling technologies, EARASHI will contribute to accelerate an eco-responsible digital transition by 2030.
