The overall goal of the FOODPathS CSA project is to develop a ‘Prototype Partnership for Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) for people, planet and climate’. It endeavers a systems approach and aims a change of mindsets to accelerate the transition to SFS. The Prototype will serve as the first version of how the future Partnership will function. Hence, it encompasses all its components such as the i) innovative, effective and inclusive governance model and Modus operandi with aligned and committed co-funders, ii) Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) supporting Food2030 priorities including science-to-policy and education programs for FS, iii) European Hub of co-creating local FS Labs following a Code of Conduct and sustainability chart developed by a branded network of exemplary universities, iv) FS Network of local and global players with a toolkit for co-benefits and trade-off’s, v) new co-creation concepts, FS approach and Observatory. FOODPathS will not only present the Prototype in 2023/2024 but also accompany the future Partnership at its start by providing methodologies, (digital) tools, programs, working protocols and a dedicated multi-level, inclusive, governance model. . To accomplish this challenge, FOODPathS brings together 17 partners across Europe from funding organizations, public institutions, academia, research and education organisations, private and farming sectors (including SMEs), philanthropic organisations, NGO, and not-for-profit organisations. They all represent networks of potential co-funders, regional and , local policy makers, universities, private parties and farmers, consumers and civil society. Thanks to appropriate resources and events, all these necessary stakeholders along the food chain will be actively involved to shape the future FS Partnership.

DOSS elaborates a secure-by-design methodology and implements related technology for complex IoT architectures, based on supply chain monitoring, component testing and architecture modelling. The project establishes a “Supply Trust Chain” with integrating key stages of the IoT supply chain into a digital communication loop to facilitate security related information exchange. The technology includes security verification of all hardware and software components of the modelled architecture. A new “Device Security Passport” will be defined for 3rd party hardware and its components. 3rd party software, open-source applications, as well as in-house developments will be tested and assessed. The centrepiece of the proposed solution is a flexibly configurable Digital Cybersecurity Twin, able to simulate diverse IoT architectures. It will employ AI for modelling complex attack scenarios, discovering attack surfaces, and elaborating the necessary protective measures. The digital twin will provide input for a configurable, automated Architecture Security Validator module which will assess and provide pre-certification for the modelled IoT architecture in respect of relevant, selectable security standards and KPIs. To also ensure adequate coverage for the back end of the supply chain the operation of the architecture will also be protected by secure device onboarding, diverse security and monitoring technologies and a feedback loop to the digital twin and actors of the supply chain, sharing security relevant information. The procedures and technology will be validated in three IoT domains: automotive, energy and smart home. This new secure-by-design approach for complex IoT operations will be an early implementation of the concept and requirements of the proposed European Cyber Resilience Act and will provide an operational reference model. Based on our learnings and experiences we will make policy recommendations and will contribute to standardisation.

While the battery-electric technology could serve as a viable option for passengers’ cars and light-duty vehicles, hydrogen, especially in its liquid form (LH2), offers a promising avenue for decarbonizing larger-scale transportation. To answer the projected 10 billion annual passengers of aviation industry, LH2 is poised to play a key role in decarbonizing short and medium-haul flights. However, the current substantial energy and capex investment required for electrolysis, compression, storage, transportation and distribution is a costly energy vector and hampering LH2 replacement of diesel/kerosene 3 times cheaper. VHyTTA seeks to address the obstacles in hydrogen distribution by developing and demonstrating at TRL7 two multipurpose and flexible concepts of HRS: one fixed and one mobile to meet the needs of aviation, maritime and railroad transport sectors and distribute hydrogen to a wide range of vehicles including aircraft, ships (LH2 and GH2), trains, airport fleet, captive fleet and buses. VHyTTA main objectives are: - Develop, build and operate a new concept of fixed cGH2 station - Develop a novel, mobile refuelling solution capable of delivering liquid hydrogen fuel to aircraft & ships in line with customers’ requirements - Develop and validate models to digitalise the refuelling stations - Ensure top HSSE standards of HRS delivering hydrogen for multiple applications - Optimise logistics and value chain integration of a hydrogen hub at airports - Assess economics and environmental impact of the technologies and demonstrators VHYTTA will contribute to reach strategical objective 4GW H2 production and distribution by 2030 with >100 refuelling station of hydrogen. Our forecast estimates 1504 routes within Europe that could adopt the liquid hydrogen powertrain. This would result in saving 33.6 million tCO2 by 2035. VHYTTA will provide the infrastructure needed for Europe to become the world’s first climate neutral continent by 2050.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of cardiomyopathy, affecting 1 in 500 individuals globally. When HCM presents in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood (0-30yo), it carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality, threatening young lives. Notably, HCM is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in adolescents and young adults without prior warning – a devastating condition affecting over 8000 European youths per year. Despite genetic advances, this knowledge has yet to prevent HCM progression or major complications like arrhythmias, stroke, heart failure, or SCD. Early prediction of adverse outcomes is crucial to identify patients who may benefit from advanced therapies like implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and heart transplantation. 5D ULTRAFAST-HCM will develop new biomarkers using advanced ultrasound to address the limitations of 2D ultrafast ultrasound imaging (UUI) in capturing the heart's complex 3D structure over cardiac cycles (4D), emphasizing the need for volumetric imaging. It will develop innovative 5D-UUI technology (4D with real-time AI-driven post-processing) for unprecedented whole-heart imaging, enabling assessment of new biomarkers. Preliminary data show that increased myocardial stiffness, abnormal fiber organization, and reduced microperfusion are key indicators in young HCM patients. We hypothesize that these factors, quantified through 5D-UUI, are directly linked to adverse outcomes. We will (i) refine 5D-UUI for clinical use, automate acquisition and analysis, (ii) validate new biomarkers predicting high-risk cases, and (iii) develop a new risk prediction model for improved ICD indication. 5D ULTRAFAST-HCM will establish this groundbreaking bedside imaging technology and revolutionize patient management. Its success will create a pioneering diagnostic tool that simplifies data collection, enhances patient experience, and offers AI-driven, operator-independent analysis for precise risk assessment.

Classical thermodynamics is a long-standing successful theory using macroscopic average quantities like pressure, volume, and temperature to describe the behaviour of everyday thermal machines. In nanophysics, it is often the case that fluctuations can become dominant over average quantities, which are therefore no longer sufficient for an accurate description of nanoscale and quantum systems. Advances in nanoelectronics have allowed researchers to engineer devices that can turn fluctuations from a nuisance into a resource to power nanoscale quantum machines. However, many questions on these fluctuation harvesting mechanisms are still open. With the theoretical project FLUTE, I will address these questions by investigating the impact of fluctuations on the performance of quantum thermal machines in nano-electronic conductors powered by unconventional resources and exhibiting topological properties. Specifically, I will consider nonthermal resources and exotic quasiparticles, called anyons, hosted in two-dimensional conductors. FLUTE seeks to generate a deeper understanding and provide novel insights on how the efficient harvesting of fluctuations at the nanoscale can be achieved. Crucially, it will bring together in a novel way the physics of anyons found in condensed matter systems with a thermodynamical analysis aimed at exploiting them as fuel for useful machines. This interdisciplinary project will combine techniques from quantum transport and strongly correlated systems, on which I am an expert, to stochastic thermodynamics and open quantum systems, on which I will receive further specific training at the host institution. FLUTE will unveil novel connections between different research fields in quantum physics. The outcomes of the project will be relevant for the design of novel types of quantum devices exploiting unconventional resources, thus contributing to the emerging field of quantum technologies, driven at the European level by the Quantum Flagship.

A rigorous understanding of the role of turbulence, with its wide range of scales and phenomena, on mass transport across a gas-liquid interface (GLI) is one of the remaining challenges in fluid mechanics. Its importance is illustrated by considering that nearly 50% of anthropogenic CO2 is driven into the oceans by a turbulent process we do not fully understand. We know that turbulence modifies the topology of the GLI from both the liquid and gas sides, but due to the complexity of the problem, we do not understand the dominant mechanisms that control this process or how they connect to mass transfer. My previous work has both shown how turbulence can be tailored in the lab and how the parameters of the turbulence influence shear on a surface, making me well placed to tackle this problem. A plethora of models based on limited data exist for mass transfer across a GLI, but they have contrasting backgrounds, parameters, and results. This is indicative that something is missing and that there is a critical need for deeper understanding of the underlying phenomena. GLITR will provide a step change in our understanding of phenomena at the GLI by initiating a paradigm shift in the way lab experiments are conducted, considering the complexity of interacting turbulent gas and liquid flows for the first time. Tailored turbulence with adjustable intensity and length scales will be generated with an active turbulence generator in both the gas and liquid simultaneously to provide new insight not previously accessible. This will result in deformed interfaces that will necessitate the development of new methods to investigate the associated mass transport and fluid mechanics. Correlations between the tailored turbulence in both the gas and liquid, the surface topology, and the mass transport across the GLI will enable the development of data-driven models and breakthroughs in our understanding of interfacial phenomena while initiating a wholly new way of addressing this problem.

EXCENTRIC - Excelling Human-Centric Collaborative Ecosystems for Smart Digital Transition in CCSI – supports the digital transition aimed at sustainable and responsible growth in the European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI). It addresses underutilization of data in the daily operations of specific experience sectors: live music, festivals, theatre, and museums. These sectors are distinguished by their capacity to create value by providing audience-centric intangible cultural experiences. EXCENTRIC develops and implements a Collaborative Data Practice through the execution of four sector-specific and two cross-sectoral pilots under real working conditions. By co-designing, testing, and equipping organizations within experience sectors with operations-centric smart data infrastructure and tools, we can effectively integrate data-driven innovations into their strategic operations in programming, pricing, resource management, and audience engagement. The project applies human-centric principles by actively involving the creative workforce’s needs, skills, and interests of pilot organizations and their extended network in the tools’ development processes. It builds organizational capabilities, data literacy, and skill sets to enable the adoption, diffusion, and customization of digital tools, and supports sustainable innovation beyond the project’s duration. At the policy level, EXCENTRIC will formulate evidence-based recommendations for successful digital transformation by employing innovative practices and identifying relevant metrics based on pilot results. The project’s unique approach pioneers the concept of Collaborative Data Practices in the CCSI, which has proven effectiveness in pharma, energy, and logistics. It aims to break down silos within the CCSI and foster ecosystem thinking. EXCENTRIC's exceptional consortium, with six pilots across six countries, and three Pan-European umbrella organizations broadens its impact and fosters adoption.
