OpenSuperQplus100 aims at delivering systems and technology for quantum computers based on superconductors. It thus implements the roadmap of the strategic research agenda for the quantum technology flagship as detailed by the OpenSuperQplus framework partnership from which it emerges. It will deliver integrated demonstrators for research and user purposes, one of which will contain at least 100 high-quality qubits. The center piece is a design and fabrication platform for high-quality quantum chips, their environment for multi-chip-modules, and the immediate surroundings of the processors. OpenSuperQplus100 delivers the necessary components and the enabling hard- and software to achieve that goal. This is completed by a test and benchmarking suite, exploring the potential realization of beyond-classical performance in real-world applications. The agenda of OpenSuperQplus100 is looking ahead in developing, testing, and down-selecting technologies that are needed to reach the 1000 qubit level in a subsequent project. The composition of the project with leading companies, RTOs, and academic groups is closely aligned with national agendas which lay the foundation for the OpenSuperQplus100 results. The project contains structured activities in standardization, education, and ethics that will inform larger European discussions. OpenSuperQplus develops structured IP policies and commercialization strategies of its key exploitable results and will serve as a reliable source of information for European stakeholders in industry, academia, politics, and society at large.

SNIP-AFRICA aims to establish a clinical research network and architecture to implement adaptive platform trials in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), responding to the urgent need for improved treatment of childhood infection in an era of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). SNIP-AFRICA focuses on the high-burden, high-impact group of inpatient neonates and infants with sepsis. This is a group especially affected by escalating rates of AMR in SSA healthcare facilities contributing to much slower than desirable improvements in neonatal mortality across SSA. The project will address all aspects of APTs in neonatal sepsis from defining potential treatments of interest to translation into clinical guidance, and will deliver interventional studies in the two domains of neonatal dose confirmation and drug regimen selection. The network and architecture could be readily extended to include older children in hospital with infections with epidemic potential. SNIP-AFRICA will achieve its aim by bringing together partners from the global North and SSA, including several with experience in designing and running adaptive platform trials and complex randomised controlled trials in SSA. The project therefore builds on existing expertise and capacity to enable an innovative response to the major threat to child health of AMR through a new architecture and extended network. The work plan includes Project Management, Coordination and Communication (WP1), Clinical and Microbiological Surveillance (WP2), Adaptive Platform Core Protocol and Governance (WP3), Pharmacokinetics for Adaptive Platform Trial (WP4), Complex Adaptive Drug Regimen Trial (WP5), Training and Capacity building for Adaptive Trials (WP6) and Stakeholder Engagement and Integration (WP7). SNIP-AFRICA aims to trigger a paradigm shift in interventional research in severe childhood infection and to equip a network of SSA institutions and researchers to conduct innovative, efficient, targeted research in this area.

The RESILIENT project will engineer mechanically durable and optically efficient coatings, which may be facilely applied as a photoluminescent paint useful for in situ detection and non-contact visualization of surface temperature and pressure. This non-invasive remote sensing technology will harness our recently discovered luminescent “Guest@MOF” composite materials, realised through the nanoscale confinement of fluorophores (as guest) incarcerated in the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF as host). The resultant host-guest interactions give rise to high sensitivity, enhanced photostability, and tunable optical response subject to external stimuli. Temperature- and pressure-sensitive paints derived from Guest@MOF composites have many potential technological applications, for example: structural health monitoring, aerospace, automotive, hydrodynamics, biomedicine and consumer products. RESILIENT will de-risk this innovative technology through the construction and testing of proof-of-concept platforms guided by the industrial partners. The project will address the following objectives. (i) To engineer and deploy temperature- and pressure-sensitive paints (TSPs and PSPs) incorporating novel Guest@MOF composite systems coupled with hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Compared with conventional RGB detection of emission, HSI enables higher accuracy detection in real time for objects that are stationary or in motion. (ii) To systematically determine the performance of TSPs and PSPs, with respect to their optical sensitivity, mechanical durability, chemical and environmental stability. (iii) To establish real life functionality of TSP/PSP nanocomposite coatings, to accomplish fast and accurate surface measurements and enhanced photostability geared towards commercial applications.

Mitochondrial research has consistently yielded surprising discoveries, such as the presence of their own DNA, use of a distinct genetic code, and their role in apoptosis. Recently, the proposal of intracellular mitochondrial transfer (ICMT) in vivo has sparked considerable interest, as this process is believed to hold significant therapeutic potential. This has generated growing public and private economical and scientific effort aimed at exploring ICMT as a potential treatment for common and rare diseases (ischemic reperfusion injury in heart, brain, kidney, etc.; mitochondrial diseases; delay in aging among others). However, there are still significant lack of knowledge, particularly regarding the proposed cellular mechanism of action, with insufficient experimental validation. Additionally, there are no studies on the physiological consequences, modulation, and functional roles of ICTM. A largely overlooked aspect is that mitochondria contain their own DNA. Therefore, if biogenetically competent mtDNA is transmitted by ICTM, the recipient cell become genetically modified. Such phenomenon has so far only been demonstrated in cancer. Therefore, any treatment with mitochondria could be classified as a form of genetic therapy. MINTRAF will establish a new strategy to determine the existence, extent and physiological relevance of ICMT. It will also investigate the maintenance of mtDNA biogenetic competence and the context where this process occurs. To achieve this, we will exploit our unique conplastic and heteroplasmic animal models to: (1) determine the extent, relevance and physiological impact of intercellular mitochondrial transfer; (2) decipher the role of ICMT as signalling process in tumour context; and (3) assess the extent, relevance and physiological impact of the horizontal mtDNA transfer in medical interventions.

This project concerns multiplicative number theory and its interplay with the emerging topic of additive combinatorics. Multiplicative number theory is an area of number theory concerned with the study of prime numbers and multiplicative functions. One of the most important unsolved questions in this area and in all of number theory is the twin prime conjecture, asserting that there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers differing by two. In 1965, Chowla formulated an influential conjecture that can be viewed as an approximation to the twin prime conjecture. Chowla’s conjecture predicts that the prime factorisations of consecutive integers behave independently of each other. This conjecture captures the key difficulty in the twin prime conjecture, but yet there has been a lot of recent progress on Chowla’s conjecture by the applicant and others. The aim of this project is to make substantial progress on Chowla’s conjecture, as well as on other key questions in multiplicative number theory, using a mixture of methods from analytic number theory and additive combinatorics, as well as higher order Fourier analysis, a theory recently developed by Green and Tao. Connections between Chowla’s conjecture and questions in additive combinatorics and higher order Fourier analysis have recently been discovered in works of the applicant and others, and the proposed research aims at exploiting these connections to make substantial progress on Chowla’s conjecture. The project also involves several other problems of interest in number theory, such as the Hardy—Littlewood conjecture on average and the Hasse principle for almost all surfaces of a certain type.

What if we could create a revolution in spatial data acquisition, organization and analysis and give forestry operators and enterprises up-to-date, tangible information about the status of their forests down to the individual tree? We believe this would improve their oversight by allowing more accurate growth modelling of forest stands and precise predictions of timber yields. It would remove the uncertainty of when thinning operations are needed or where there are trees which are ready for harvest. It could also enable operators to automatically plan where their staff or equipment should be deployed. With capable (semi-)autonomous harvesting, operators eventually automating the full process. It could also better quantify a forest's carbon sequestration - with low uncertainty per-tree carbon estimates. Precise measures of crown volume and tree diameters would improve the granularity of carbon credit schemes. This could inform national governments and policy makers when deciding policy on initiatives such as carbon offsets and carbon farming. In DIGIFOREST we propose to create such an ecosystem by developing a team of heterogeneous robots to collect and update this raw 3D spatial representations, building large scale forest maps and feeding them to machine learning and spatial AI to semantically segment and label the trees and also the terrain. Our robot team will be diverse: we will use both rugged field robots as well as more experimental vehicles. Most ambitious of all is the intention to (semi-)automate a lightweight harvester for sustainable selective logging. Progress in this project will be demonstrated with an ambitious series of field trials. With the clear engagement of forestry and industrial companies, commercial pathways are readily available.

SafeHorizon offers computer law enforcement agencies (LEAs), emergency response teams (CERTs), and computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) a toolbox with underdevelopment and improved open-source solutions that will be simple to plug-and-play, maintain, and adapt. SaferHorizon aims to disrupt CaaS by harnessing intelligence collected from internet-facing services (the clear, deep, and dark web), public dumps and leaks (from ransomware groups and hacking forums and channels), as well as datasets from LEAs and security providers, and using machine learning (ML) to identify correlations and extract actionable evidence that can be used in court. Beyond crawling for information, SafeHorizon will actively search for possible leaks of information on illegal services, forums, and software that would allow LEAs to track down users, developers, and operators. SafeHorizon will deliver i) a toolkit that is broken down into individual and interoperable easy-to-use tools (in the form of Docker containers), ii) a monitoring platform that integrates the output of these tools, iii) a correlation engine to find the connections among diverse and big datasets, and iv) datasets and notebooks that will be shared with all EU LEAs and vetted organisations and companies to enable the easy uptake and processing of data to deliver tangible results. Moreover, SafeHorizon aims to give cybercriminals a taste of their own medicine by, e.g., spreading disinformation on hacking, carding, forums and channels to dismantle their rings of trust.
