AT-INSULATE is a project proposed by several European SMEs to contribute with a novel material that will to fulfil the thermal and acoustic requirements by the increasingly demanding national and international regulations on buildings, insuring better energy efficiency and indoor-quality environment. In addition, AT-INSULATE will be applicable as insulating material to the shipbuilding sector as secondary market, by offering enhanced and competitive properties: light and non-asbestos containing material, non-flammable and acoustic insulating properties at low-frequencies, which allow saving costs and health risks associated with ships ´maintenance, repairing and labour actions. The technological approach will consist in obtaining an enhanced foam formulation based in an inorganic material as non-fuel fossil dependent alternative that will reduce the associated cost and the negative impact on the environment, with out-standing insulating properties. It will assure also a better handling for installation due to its foamy nature, making easier its market introduction and applications, not only in new buildings construction but also for old buildings rehabilitation, which is expected to be a main driver for growth of the insulating materials market. The aim of AT-INSULATE is to develop and validate a novel price-competitive and non-fuel fossil dependent insulating foam formulation with enhanced thermal and acoustic performance for applications on wall insulation, to attend the growing demand and comply with the mandatory European building legislations. AT-INSULATE product shows a competitive price advantage position in comparison with the average price per square meter in the market. In the other hand, none of the products in the market offer the outperforming thermal, acoustic and mechanical performances of AT-INSULATE together with a cost-competitive price.

The partners of the project are 3 cities with similar characteristics, experience and policies in specific sustainable use and production of energy and very ambitious carbon and energy reduction targets, aligned with Europe’s targets. In each city, initiatives to reduce energy inefficiency are already in place; however each of them has been aimed at a specific sector objective, while overlooking the impact that may be causing on other sectors. This is why all the stakeholders and city systems are considered so important when undertaking measures aimed at improving sustainability to make this an integral part of their urban planning in order to achieve best results in less time and will less cost. For this reason, these cities have decided to join together to improve efficiency along all the key aspects of their energy value chain, by applying smart city concepts in an integrated manner while learning from each other’s expertise and viewpoint in applying sustainable practices. The partners are experts on Energy (FSS, SANSEBASTIAN, TECNALIA and ACCIONA), ICT (BRISTOL, UNIBRISTOL, ARUP and CSE) and Mobility (FLORENCE, SPES and ATAF). To get the proposed objectives STEEP project will create a process model based on systems thinking for district energy master planning, which will be applied to 3 city districts to better understand the systems impacting upon energy use and interventions which can be taken to meet the ambitious energy and carbon targets. These models will be enriched and validated through open innovation methodologies applied with the stakeholders. The learning obtained from the process model for district energy master planning, then, will be applied at the definition of specific action plan (time line, the costs and pay-back periods) at city level. With the knowledge gathered in this process, it will be developed a replicable open source methodology and Key Performance Indicators for developing and screening integrated Smart City Plans.

This project is aimed to the identification and development of nanostructured electrode and electrolyte materials to promote the practical implementation of the very high energy lithium-sulfur battery. In particular, the project will be directed to the definition and test of a new, lithium metal-free battery configuration based on the use of lithiated silicon as the anode and a nanostructured sulfur-carbon composite as the cathode. It is expected that this battery will offer an energy density at least three times higher than that available from the present lithium battery technology, a comparatively long cycle life, a much lower cost (replacement of cobalt-based with a sulfur-based cathode) and a high safety degree (no use of lithium metal). All the necessary steps for reaching this goal are considered, starting from material synthesis and characterization, exploiting nanotechnology for improving rate capability and fast charging, the fabrication and test of large scale prototypes and to the completion of the cycle by setting the conditions for the recycling process. A team of experts have been selected as partners of the project, including a number of academic laboratories, all with worldwide recognized experience in the lithium battery field, whose task will be that of defining the most appropriate electrode and electrolyte nanostructures. The project will benefit by the support of a laboratory expert in battery modeling to provide the theoretical guidelines for materials’ optimization. Large research laboratories, having advanced and modern battery producing machineries will be involved in the preparation and test of middle size battery prototypes. Finally, chemical and battery manufacturing industries will assure the necessary materials scaling-up and the fabrication and test of large batteries and particular attention will be devoted to the control of the safety and to definition and practical demonstration of its most appropriate recycling process.

Due to the high potential of miniaturization and integration, with regard to the innovation degree, quality and sustainability requirements, the 21st century looks forward to the integration of new functions on plastic parts to produce smart plastic products, as markets are requiring traceability, security, communication as well as ergonomics. So called “Molded Interconnected Devices” (MID) basically combine all the features of molded plastic parts with electrical conductive circuitry and electronics components assembly directly on the plastic packaging. MID lead finally to highly integrated multimaterial and multifunctional 3D compact systems. With a 20% of growth per year since 2008, MID is the tomorrow’s converging technology for electronics and plastics. To achieve advanced high precision and high quality 3D micro systems, the EU industry is facing the following MIDs bottlenecks: - to be able to manufacture high precision 3D micro-parts integration plastics and electronics, including 3D plastic system carrier, 3D-conductive tracks and 3D electronics component assembly - to be able to reduce the manufacturing cost by 50% in order for EU industry to be competitive with low-wage countries, - to provide the industry with reliable, robust and in-line controlled manufacturing processes for plastics and electronics converging technologies. 3D-HiPMAS will overcome these challenges by providing the EU industry with a pilot factory based on 4 key technological building blocks enabling the manufacturing of low costs and high precision 3D multi-materials parts: A. 3D high precision plastics micro-parts B. 3D high definition conductive tracks C. 3D precision electronics components assembly D. 3D reliable and robust online monitoring and quality inspection system E. These 4 technologies will be integrated in order to launch the future EU pilot factory The consortium is composed of all key actors from the value chain, from the material manufacturer to the end-user

The Project aim is to develop and demonstrate an advanced structural surface cooler mounted in an appropriate core fairing composite structure. Currently surface coolers are an integral feature of advanced turbofan engine designs. They contribute to achieving the best engine performance by maintaining oil and fuel temperatures within defined limits and by virtue of their mounting on the inside of the fancase they obviate the need for additional ducting of air and a control valve to switch the air on/off. The lack of ducting and control valve leads to an overall cost and weight reduction. Oil and/or fuel is cooled by the passage of cool engine bypass air flow over the air washed surface of the heat exchanger. Current surface coolers are parasitic to the existing engine structure, and occupy surfaces that can also be used for acoustic treatment to control engine noise. As such the weight, volume and efficiency of the surface cooler are all of great importance. The design and installation of a compact and lightweight structural surface cooler in a core fairing structure will contribute positively to the efficiency of the power-plant by providing the necessary oil cooling at minimum overall weight and hence optimal fuel burn. . Also it is envisaged that surface cooler/composite core fairing designs will evolve that employ novel structural design, advance manufacturing techniques, potentially novel materials and new concepts in utilising air washed surfaces on the engine. The structural integration of the metallic structural surface cooler to a composite core fairing type structure has been identified as an important area for success. The joint must allow a strong load path, handle dissimilar degrees of thermal displacement and provide sealing yet being light and durable. Therefore mounting of such a surface cooler in a composite core fairing structure will also be researched for future engines where composite air washed structures may be used

The trend towards increasing transport demand - prerequisite for economic growth - is still challenging the European transport system. On the other hand Europe aims to reduce emissions dramatically. A crucial measure achieving this ambitious aim is to lower transport emissions by increasing the share of inherently more resource-friendly modes of transport. The “Intelligent Transport System for Innovative Intermodal Freight Transport” (TelliSys) will actively promote the EU’s objective of optimizing the performance of intermodal logistic chains and will provide smooth and cooperative interactions between different modes of transport. Scientific aim is to develop an intelligent transport system that is applicable for road (in line with Directive 96/53/EC), rail, short sea and inland shipping, which consists of a modular set of volume-optimised and traceable MegaSwapBoxes (MSB), an adapted trailer and a tractor for the road transport. Ideas and contributions from the consortium together with the advice of outstanding key players of the transport business guarantee the holistic approach and market acceptance of the project outcomes. TelliSys is the follow-up of the successful TelliBox project and the now modular MSB will be based on the unique selling propositions like stackability, three openable sides, three meters loading height, trimodality, pallet wide and cargo security. In addition, the new developed tractor will provide an extra low fifth wheel height (low deck) designed for volume-optimised road transport and the adapted trailer will be flexible to transport conventional loading units as well as the new MSBs. Within TelliSys an interdisciplinary European consortium of experts in the field of freight forwarding, manufacturing and science will deliver concepts, prototypes and a proof of concepts via extensive test runs. A complementary bundle of scientific evaluation methods, profitability calculations and risk mitigation actions will guarantee the project succes

Productivity improvements have major impact on EU economy and competitiveness. Industrial maintenance contributes largely to this competitiveness through reliability and availability of production equipments. The EU market of industrial maintenance can be estimated at 32 Bn€/year, in which outsourced maintenance represents 1/3. In continuous production industries (energy, chemical, food, cement or paper sectors) the ratio “maintenance costs/added value product” is even higher than 25%. In these industries, default component or process failure stop the whole production, therefore predictive maintenance is a critical issue. The objectives of SUPREME are - to develop and use most advanced signal and data processing dedicated to predictive maintenance and energy consumption reduction - to implement these tools in an industrial demonstrator - to develop, exploit and diffuse new tools for predictive maintenance SUPREME’s main challenging results will be: -Innovative reference models for residual life prediction and optimal predictive maintenance of deteriorating system -Embedded advanced signal acquisition and features extractions for varying operating conditions machines -Real time data fusion (vibrations, acoustic emission, motor current, torque,…) -Off line data mining and self learning failure mode pattern -Automated loop for monitoring optimal machine stabilization -Dynamically updated condition monitoring software module -Specific dissemination tools The project impact will be the proof of predictive maintenance efficiency, reduction of down-time and energy consumption in manufacturing industry, demonstrated in a coated paper mill. To reach excellence on predictive maintenance, SUPREME consortium integrates key technical players on the maintenance added value chain, gathering technology and service providing SMEs. Partners specialised in SME technology transfer will ensure the exploitation of innovative predictive maintenance concepts in EU manufacturing SMEs.

Commercial aircraft have been experiencing in-service events while flying in the vicinity of deep convective clouds since at least the early 1990s. Heated probes and engines are the areas of air-craft most prone to mixed phase and glaciated icing threat. In anticipation of regulation changes regarding mixed phase and glaciated icing conditions, the HAIC project will provide the necessary Acceptable Means of Compliance (numerical and test capabilities) and appropriate ice particle detection/awareness technologies to the European aeronautical industry for use on-board commercial aircraft in order to enhance safety when an aircraft is flying in such weather conditions. HAIC will achieve high Technology Readiness Level (TRL6) for technologies (radar, detector) and capabilities (numerical models and tools, test facilities) developed as part of the project. HAIC is a 4-year integrated project comprising 34 partners representing the European stakeholders of the aeronautical industry from eleven European countries and 5 partners from Australia, Canada and the United States. HAIC will also develop international cooperation and collaboration thanks to the involvement of key international organisations and companies as partners of the project or through the HAIC Advisory Board. Letters of support from organisations who will participate in the HAIC Advisory Board are provided in Annex 4. These have been received from BOEING, EASA, ENVIRONMENT CANADA, EUROCAE, FAA, GE, GOODRICH, HAWKER BEECHCRAFT, ICC, MTU, NASA, and NTI. Finally, HAIC will complement the work performed by part of existing international projects and working groups, notably EASA-HighIWC, HIWC, Engine Icing Working Group and Ice Crystals Consortium, and pave the way towards the ACARE 2020 and Flight Path 2050 safety objectives. This proposal is submitted against the following call line: AAT 2012.3.5.1-1 Integrated approach to safe flights under icing conditions.

AMCOR will develop and demonstrate Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) industrial manufacturing systems for the deposition of functional graded coatings (FGM) and 3D features onto metallic components supplied by industry that are subjected to in-service wear and corrosion. This will be supported by the development, production and testing of mixed powder combinations for coatings suitability. The proposed system will combine LMD, robotic and CNC positioning, modelling, 3D scanning techniques and sensors to give a ‘turn-key’ solution to the deposition of multiple materials for quality controlled FGM coatings and 3D features onto original manufactured components and repair surfaces. The solution will offer a knowledge driven manufacturing process with significant production benefits; automation, self-management and reduced material usage and waste. The integrated system will be assessed for its cost effectiveness, in terms of manufacturing efficiency and consumption of raw materials, but also its application flexibility for exploitation into industry sectors not represented in the consortium. This will be addressed by developing the following topics: • Automation - Intelligible software interface for automated manufacturing by LMD. • Production efficiency - Integrated process incorporating component referencing, in-line monitoring, closed loop control and NDT inspection. • Materials – Intuitive database of material combinations with selection focused on coatings performance. • Qualification - Demonstrator parts from industry (mining, automotive, power generation, tooling, industrial drives) validated by AMCOR end-users. Development of QA/QC deposition procedures. To achieve these key objectives, the consortium consists of 16 organisations who are recognised leaders in various industrial sectors and in the development of LMD processes. We propose to develop the integrated AMCOR system over a period of 36 months with an overall budget of €4.7Million (€3Million EC contribut
