To optimize their products, engineers use computational design tools. If fluid flow is part of the problem, then Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) comes into play. However, real-world fluid dynamics are complex, and computational models may not capture every nuance. CFD nowadays has a problem of scale that clashes with limited computational resources. This is even more critical when the fluid is composed of immiscible phases (e.g. bubbles, drops or particles), or when the fluid mechanically interacts with structures, e.g. inducing vibrations, erosion and other unwanted effects such as cavitation. The latter is known as Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) which, in scientific terms, brings together the fields of structural and fluid mechanics. FSI is a prominent example of a coupled physics problem. It is inseparably connected with other disciplines such as thermodynamics, materials science, chemical engineering, metallurgy, and more. For scientific and technical progress, new methods and knowledge are needed to understand, predict and control the interactions of fluid flow in technical domains. Therefore, COMBINE will create a new research and training agenda to address the following challenges. Challenge 1 is to bridge the gaps between scientific disciplines to solve complex multi-physics problems through shared methods and techniques. Challenge 2 is to develop novel, fast, and robust measurement techniques to improve lab-scale analysis and real-world monitoring of FSI related problems. Challenge 3 is to improve the accuracy of FSI simulations and demands a multi-faceted approach using rigorous physics modeling, high-performance computing, and AI-driven data analysis. Challenge 4 is to develop novel materials and characterize their functionality early. COMBINE unites a shared vision to significantly advance research and training to form a critical mass of researchers that can deliver tomorrows innovations and thrive in a highly competitive world.

In recent years, the study of personality (noncognitive skills) has significantly increased in economics. There has been an explosion of empirical work that shows the promise and relevance of incorporating such factors into the field. But we lack a definition of relevant personality traits in terms of primitive preferences, the way we do with risk and time preferences, for instance. Most studies rely on self-reported surveys, but this is only part of the issue: without a sharp, agreed-upon definition, it is difficult to build models, make predictions or elicit these measures in a way that unambiguously separates the primitives from the outcomes. My aim is to provide these notions. Part 1 focuses on attitudes towards success and failure, and the thresholds that separate one from the other. Such attitudes are not only present in the way we discuss personality (e.g. perseverance and tenacity), they also appear in seemingly distant strands of economics, notably through the widely used notion of gain-loss sensitivity, notions of aspirations, etc. Within a standard decision theoretic setting, we define such attitudes as features of the primitive preferences over lotteries, we characterize the corresponding utility representations, and provide indices of the intensity of each attitude, in a manner analogous to the Arrow-Pratt coefficients for risk-aversion. These notions have crucial implications on two main levels: first, they generate testable predictions for choice under risk, and novel insights about central notions within the established economics toolkit; second, they expand the domain of economics methodology to the study of personality, by providing choice-based measures grounded on preferences, thereby bridging the gap between insightful notions from psychology and the desiderata of rigorous economic analysis. These two aspects are the focus of Parts 2 and 3, respectively, which tackle the problem through a series of large-scale experiments.

Future generations and youth inherit at least two debts (with incoming crises attached). The first incoming crisis results from the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This climate crisis requires taking steps to mitigate it and adapt to its consequences. Those mitigation and adaptation efforts have even been quantified. The global investment gap for climate change mitigation is estimated at $380-680 trillion annually. Moreover, a further $60-100 trillion must be additionally invested into climate change adaptation measures (annually!). Those two investment gaps need to be filled with private and public investments. The second incoming crisis results from the constant accumulation (up to now) of public debt - the sovereign debt crisis. Future generations will live in democratic states overburdened with debt – and current youth already does. Most democratic states already have debts of 60%, 100%, 150%, or even more of their annual gross domestic product (GDP). However, this mixture of those two incoming crises with massive funding needs for climate change mitigation and adaptation measures significantly limits future generations in their activities and their (financial) options. The same limitations affect governments in jurisdictions where future generations will live. Meanwhile, climate change and environmental damage are legacies of our civilisation. Tackling those challenges requires undertaking financial efforts both at a global level and by particular states. ReGreenConstition's objective is to verify whether citizens could help in overcoming this zugzwang through new types of bonds (Green, Social, Sustainability and Sustainability-Linked Bonds). By combining different research disciplines (law, economics) and relying on a deep interdisciplinary methodology, the project will allow designing new policy and legal frameworks facilitating citizens to “vote” with their savings on climate change mitigation and adaptation measures.

The GRASP-SYNERGY proposal is to make an international and inter-sectorial network of organizations working together including scientists and engineers of different background and expertise. The focus is on atmospheric sciences, particularly in addressing the challenges about developing standard techniques that permit atmospheric and surface characterization from different techniques and measurements. The main objective is further develop of the Generalized Retrieval of Aerosol and Surface Properties (GRASP) algorithm for joint inversions of different remote sensing instrumentation that permit advanced synergistic retrievals of atmosphere and surface properties. To fulfil this breakthrough objective GRASP-SYNERGY will address (i) Advanced aerosol parameterizations (modelling) from new developments in multiwavelength polarized polar nephelometry, (ii)New deployments and optimizations in GRASP forward and inversion approaches for advanced retrievals (iii)Synergies of different space instruments to improve spectral, spatial and temporal coverage as well as information content from multi-angular polarimetry and (iv)Synergies of ground-based and space measurements for advanced retrievals and for satellite validations. These objectives try to address challenge that the measurements from single space-borne instrument is always be limited in one or another way. This seriously limits the possibility of advanced atmospheric and surface characterizations from space measurements. In this regard, the synergy of different instrument allows essentially improve information content of measurements and bring the retrieval of atmosphere and surface properties to qualitatively new level. To face all these challenges GRASP-SYNERGY consists of an ambitious consortium, and to favor all these interactions we propose a set of secondments, workshops and training activities that will also foster a shared culture of research and innovation.

iFACT-MP (iodine Fed Advanced Cusp field Thruster for Mid-Power) aims to develop an iodine fed thruster subsystem for the 3-5 kW range. The activity will include work on all the critical building blocks required to enable the realisation of an iodine EP subsystem. This encompasses the upscaling of the Advanced Cusp Field Thruster (ACFT) to that power range at Airbus Friedrichshafen and the development of the fluidic chain at Airbus Toulouse, consisting of the heated iodine reservoir, piping and flow control for the thruster as well as the neutraliser. Further, the necessary verification and formalisation of the fluidic design and iodine handling procedures will be performed to enable the implementation and integration of iodine EP subsystems on platform level. A major building block required to enable a completely iodine based EP chain is an iodine fed neutraliser. For this purpose, further improvements and modifications on C12A7 emitter ceramics will be performed by Fraunhofer IKTS, in close collaboration with the iodine cathode development at Airbus. To validate the necessary control and operational schemes, a breadboard PPU will be developed by Airbus Elancourt that includes all the required supplies, telemetry and functionalities to enable autonomous control of the thruster subsystem. To enable rapid and accurate characterisation of the developed thruster subsystem's performance, an optical iodine flow meter will be developed and integrated by University of Pisa. As currently no test facility exists to perform thruster testing at that power level, a suitable iodine compatible vacuum chamber including a thrust balance and diagnostics will be developed at Aerospazio. This facility will enable full characterisation and 500 h endurance testing of the developed thruster subsystem. To maximise the impact of the project, EASN will coordinate the public presence and communication, dissemination and exploitation activities.

Wound healing is a physiological process leading to the restoration of the skin barrier integrity after injury. A large number of factors (wound size and location, exogenous pathogenic agents, aging, co-morbidities, genetic diseases) can affect wound healing and prevent its normal resolution, leading to wounds that never heal (i.e. chronic wounds) or that heal in an aberrant manner (e.g. with scarring or dermonecrosis). Wound healing disorders affect up to 6% of the adult population in the world and this number is expected to continue to grow due to population aging and increasing incidence of metabolic diseases. In addition, current therapeutic solutions lack efficiency and there is an urgent need for better diagnostic tools to improve wound management. In the REMOD-HEALING project, we propose to tackle the burden of pathological wounds by exploiting the huge reservoir of therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling in cutaneous wounds. Our innovative approach will be to analyse, model and target the aberrant ECM modifications induced by proteolytic enzymes in various healing disorders (chronic ulcers, epidermolysis bullosa, snake bite-induced dermonecrosis) with the hypothesis that the quality of the ECM shaped by proteases dictates the quality of tissue regeneration. We have gathered a team of 14 European and Latin American partners to provide excellent training to 12 doctoral candidates and generate breakthrough research allowing us to (i) gain a deeper understanding of proteolytic networks in normal and pathological wounds in order to identify novel potential biomarkers and protease targets (Objective 1), (ii) obtain biochemical and structural information on specific protease targets, their ECM substrates and their endogenous inhibitors to fuel the discovery of diagnostic tools and anti-protease drugs (Objective 2), (iii) develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools to improve wound management (Objective 3).

Biologicalisation considers the convergence of biology, engineering, and information technologies and offers the prospect of dramatic step-change scenarios for innovative development in many different manufacturing applications. ORGANIC will enable the biological transformation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes integrating bio-inspiration from nature (complex-lattice structures), bio-intelligent technologies and architectures (cognitive and evolutionary capabilities), and biomaterials (fully recyclable biocomposites) into Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF) additive manufacturing technology. Project’s biointelligent architecture consists of: 1) Integrated process-structure-property-performance (PSPP) open optimisation tool; 2) High-precision and digitized FGF equipment; and 3) A novel cognitive control system with self-X capabilities (self-configuration, sel-monitoring, self-optimization and self-healing) for real-time data-driven decision-making that will provide autonomy to the printing process. On top the AI-based gentelligence system enables the long-term AM process evolution as an organism that evolve from generation to generation, thus allowing continuous improvement of the AM process (including hardware and software) and future printed products (lifelong learning), so reliability and sustainability of the production process are guaranteed. ORGANIC technologies will be validated in one manufacturing value chain (wind energy sector) through the first-time-right fabrication of large highly optimized bioinspired products (spar cap or shear web components used on large offshore blades) made of the combination of different fully-recyclable fiber-reinforced biocomposites using FGF additive manufacturing techniques, starting at TRL4 and achieving TRL6 by the end of the project.
