The project aims to address key challenges of the pharmaceutical industry related to the consistent supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) which are formed through crystallisation processes. Over 80% of the worlds API’s have crystallisation steps. The current method of determining process performance is a combination of off-line analysis of the quality attributes of the API crystals after the crystallisation process is complete. This methodology does not control the manufacturing process and leads to a variable quality product, variable yields and a large proportion of rework batches, costing the API industry in excess of €10B/year. SmartCrys is an integrated solution for API processing issues of (1) in-line PAT Analysers to measure the critical quality attributes of the crystals, (2) Manufacturing Intelligence to interpret the data and decide whether process adjustments are required, (3) Process Automation which enable the automatic adjustment of the process to take place and (4) Data Analytics which enable visibility of all process data in real-time. SmartCrys enables rapid process development and subsequently self-adjustment of crystallization processes in real time, targeting an addressable market for SmartCrys of €20B. Through engagement with its customer base (8 of the top 10 Pharma companies worldwide) and the regulators, Innopharma have identified a technological gap in in-line process control among API manufacturers. SmartCrys will consolidate Innopharma’s position as one of the world’s leaders in Advanced Analytical Technologies within the pharmaceutical sector, and provide an opportunity to increase company turnover from €8M to €23M over the next 5 years and to grow staff from 45 to 65. It will also contribute to the continued competitiveness of the European API crystallization sector and help retain thousands of high-tech API manufacturing jobs within Europe.

The deployment of IoT systems are increasing worldwide, but so does security incidents like ransomware and cyber-extortion, which are not sufficiently covered by current cybersecurity practices and will proliferate with upcoming technologies like 5G. At the same pace, attacks are becoming more sophisticated, requiring reinforced cybersecurity competencies, as well as more effective mechanisms for detection and mitigation of attacks. ARCADIAN-IoT established the goal to develop and make available an innovative, advanced framework for trust, security and privacy management in IoT systems to promote trustworthy IoT systems. ARCADIAN-IoT will accelerate the development towards decentralized, transparent and user controllable privacy in three real use cases: Emergency and vigilance using drones and IoT; Monitoring of grid infrastructure; and medical IoT devices for telemonitoring and follow-up of cancer patients. ARCADIAN-IoT aims to fill a gap in the IoT threat intelligence landscape by providing a novel IoT- specific Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) approach, which supports integrated, automated and privacy- preserved IoT threat information sharing. ARCADIAN-IoT will research distributed ledger technologies to enable decentralized trust management and will leverage on federated AI for effective cybersecurity solutions complying with privacy regulations. ARCADIAN-IoT will act as an enabler of IoT systems in future networks by including eSIM technology with over the air management support for devices, and to enhance identity management through trusted hardware – Root of Trust (RoT). ARCADIAN-IoT will enable a Chain of Trust (CoT) to address identity, trust and recovery considering the multiple entities in IoT systems: persons, IoT devices/objects and Apps/services. At last, ARCADIAN-IoT will enhance cybersecurity awareness of stakeholders through a cybersecurity training package.

Seagate is developing an innovative collapsible-automatic-retrofittable delta wing sail that can be applied to commercial vessels. Seagate Sail and cruise control aims to provide an adoptable and beneficial solution for commercial ship owners to reduce their fuel bills and cut emissions by 20%. The system is able to offer a solution to both problems whilst at the same time being suited to the needs of commercial ships, which makes the solution unique and highly desirable. The Seagate Sail, installed on the vessel’s deck, will convert wind into driving force. The Seagate Cruise Control will convert the driving force into fuel saving, by proportionally reducing the engine power. With the Seagate solution, the vessel will cruise at the original speed (and therefore keep to the Estimated Time of Arrival) using 20% less fuel. The solution is at a mature stage of development and therefore the feasibility assessment will focus on the development of the industrial chain to set-up and validate the scale-up production of Seagate Sail, a sound IP management strategy, solid financial projections and the sale agreements for the commercialisation. The sails will be developed in Europe involving different industrial partners, managed by a British and Italian team. Once commercialised, Seagate will maintain its headquarters and manufacturing activities in Europe offering new job opportunities across the continent. Seagate aims to set a commercial partnership with a top European engine supplier to speed up the commercial growth of its products in Europe and Worldwide.

It is thought that the Japanese language was brought to Japan in a series of west-to-east migrations from the Korean peninsula in prehistoric times. Through fieldwork on the tone systems of a cluster of outlying and not sufficiently documented dialects in Japan (the so-called Gairin or ‘outer circle’ dialects), a genealogy of the members of this dialect group will be reconstructed. A central question is whether the similarities between the Gairin dialects are the result of parallel developments or a common descent. If these dialects share a common descent, the next question is what the relative timing of the dialect splits is, and the degree to which the different Gairin dialects are related to each other. The outcomes of my research project will answer these questions and put approximate dates to some of the main phonological developments. These outcomes will add unprecedented detail, based on linguistic data, to migrations that so far could only be traced through archaeology: The project will make it possible to reconstruct the prehistoric migration routes that resulted in the present-day scattered geographical distribution of this dialect group. Study of the oldest historical records of the tone systems of this dialect type will add greater detail and time-depth to the analysis.

This project aims to reveal the origin and principal functions of spatiotemporal signalling oscillations in the context of embryonic development. Vertebrate embryo segmentation offers a particularly suitable context to study an assembly of ultradian, genetic oscillators, which in addition, exhibit striking synchronization that generates periodic, wave-like patterns. Using the mouse model, in which three major signalling pathways (Wnt, Notch and Fgf) have been found to oscillate in activity with a period of ~2 hours, we aim to address the following key questions: How do signalling gradients control higher-order, spatiotemporal synchronization of genetic oscillators? What is the role of self-organization? What is the function of spatiotemporal signalling dynamics that are phase-shifted between multiple pathways for developmental patterning? To address these challenging questions, we bring together a unique combination of quantitative real-time imaging, novel ex vivo assays and multi-modal, i.e. genetic, chemical and physical functional perturbations. To this end, we propose to employ customized knock-in reporter mouse lines developed in my lab and cutting edge microscopy for simultaneous quantification of multiple, oscillating signaling pathway activities and protein dynamics. We aim to combine these dynamic quantification with novel functional perturbations which are made possible due to a critical technical breakthrough achieved in my lab: an ex vivo primary cell culture assay that recapitulates mouse mesoderm patterning, including complex oscillatory wave patterns, and segment formation, in a simplified, 2-dimensional (2D) context. This ex vivo assay will allow an unprecedented versatility of (time-resolved) perturbations and simultaneous quantitative, dynamic read-out at both molecular and phenotypic level. Our approach thus has an outstanding potential and is ideally positioned to reveal how temporal order emerges and impacts on developmental patterning.

In contemporary normative political philosophy, questions of distributive justice have focused on meeting minimal needs of persons, prioritizing the worst-off and reducing inequalities. In philosophy, these views are called ‘sufficientarianism’, ‘prioritarianism’ and ‘egalitarianism’. The proposed project —Fair Limits— shifts the focus to ‘limitarianism’, the view that there should be upper limits on the distribution of valuable goods, and will investigate the plausibility of limitarianism in the area of economic and ecological resources. We will analyse whether such a view can be justified, that is, supported by robust philosophical argumentation, and what limitarian institutions could look like. Fair Limits will confront basic assumptions commonly used in liberal political philosophy, including claims about what account of the quality of life our social institutions should protect, which goods are scarce, the insatiability of human wants, the status of ecosystem resources, and the nature of the economic system and its distributive consequences. An important way in which the project examines these assumptions is to study the relevant arguments of non-liberal philosophers. The critiques of non-liberal philosophers on the liberal paradigm, in which Fair Limits is situated, will be actively solicited and will become an integral part of this project. Methodologically, Fair Limits will advance the state of the field by developing methods for applied or non-ideal political philosophy. This emerging paradigm asks not merely what the right normative principles are, but rather (1) what moral duties imply for political duties, (2) questions of transition (how we move to a less unjust world, and what role political philosophy should play in this process) and (3) who, in an unjust world, the agents of justice should be.

Lignocellulosic (LC) feedstock will soon become a key strategic resource in Europe for chemical intermediates and products, boosting the transition from fossil-based to bio-based economy. BIOFOREVER will demonstrate 5 new LC value chains and 3 valorisation routes for co-products utilizing 4 different cascading biorefinery concepts in order to establish optimal combinations of feedstock, biorefinery, end-products and markets that will allow the successful implementation of these value chains in commercial scale as follow-up step. Chemicals, food and specialties will be produced. The project will target spruce, poplar and wood waste but will also assess other LC feedstocks in order to achieve the most commercially viable and sustainable value chains. Using a fast-track (3-year) and open innovation approach, BIOFOREVER teams up 14 leading industrial partners in feedstock supply, pre-treatment, downstream processing and producers of chemicals, food and specialties in order to rapidly progress commercialization of these value chains. Assessment of feedstock sustainability, customer perception and stakeholder engagement for scale up to commercial scale will be integrated in the project. Business cases for the value chains will result in competitive biobased products, matching cost of existing fossil-based products (e.g. at par with current sugars) and improving performance in properties and sustainability. Other impacts of BIOFOREVER are: - Up to 85% reductions in CO2-emissions compared to fossil-based value chains. - About € 400 mln turnover in biorefinery intermediates (lignins and sugars) and € 650 mln in chemical intermediates and products for a 1,5 mln ton/year LC biorefinery. - The number of direct jobs of commercial scale biorefinery would accumulate to about 1200, generating typically 6000-7500 indirect jobs and an additional investment exceeding the 70M euros by the partners

The main objective of PAGITA is to let European customers paying purchases on vending machines by using a virtual wallet, without need of cash. The European Vending Market had a total revenue in 2015 of €14.6 billion Euros , in Europe, vending machines sell over 90 million food and drink items every day. Over 80% of machines are located in the workplace. The automatic vending market has high operating costs due to cash management and theft. A large portion of vending machines are “unintelligent”, they do not communicate any info on current stock and they do not enable optimization for logistics. Vending operators cannot collect any information on their customers and their purchasing patterns. The increasing consumer preference toward cashless payments is a favourable trend observed in the market. The acceptance of payments through technologies, such as Near-field Communication (NFC), is instrumental in driving public interest owing to the easier, faster, and contactless modes of payment Pagita is a mobile commerce platform which allows customers to make quick and easy purchases from vending machines with an user friendly App. The platform is composed of an hardware module to be installed on the existing vending machines, a mobile app for consumers, and a cloud application for service management. After having tested its solution in Italian market (the main European market as per number of Vending machines), PAGITA is now addressing the European market, and it is targeting 23.000.000 turnover by 2020. The SME instrument Phase 1 will have the purpose to provide PAGITA with the knowledge needed to assess the technical and market feasibility of the project and to design a business and marketing plan that may support successful distribution of the service in the addressed markets
