The Atmospheric Physics and Turbulence for Wind Energy (AptWind) Doctoral Network provides training for a new creative, entrepreneurial, innovative and resilient industry-oriented academic generation apt to face current and future challenges at the frontier of research within atmospheric flow physics and turbulence for wind energy applications, where the trained Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will be able to convert knowledge and ideas into new products, and services for economic and social benefit. The needs within this field recently became even more urgent by the launch of RePower EU and the Fit-for-55 package. There, the already ambitious climate goals were revised, and the Commission has committed to increasing its renewable energy target from 32% to 40% by 2030. This measure requires the installation of new wind farms with a power capacity of 30 000 MW every year until 2030, which heavily relies on the realization of taller, and therefore more powerful, wind turbine designs reaching into less well understood atmospheric flow regimes. AptWind will not only provide a new generation of professionals equipped with a portfolio of transferable skills that facilitates the transfer of high-level academic research into practical and useful tools and methods in the industry but also will contribute to breaking some major barriers for the ambitious green energy transition. The barriers are both in the domain of measurement technologies and modelling approaches as well as in the training domain as further described in this proposal.

The prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, continues to rise, partly due to increasing life expectancy. The diagnosis of these disorders remains a significant challenge due to overlapping symptoms, delayed recognition of early symptoms often mistaken for normal aging, and variability in symptom presentation across patients. METNEDIA will tackle these challenges by proposing a new framework for the development of a diagnostic tool. METNEDIA will utilize metabolomic analysis and artificial intelligence to develop a diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. A discovery phase will be initially performed using untargeted metabolomic approaches to identify most relevant biomarkers. The project will then develop of a diagnostic kit based on mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of widely diffuse neurodegenerative diseases. A multicenter validation of the kit will be also performed. Neurotoxic evaluation of molecules identified as relevant for each disease will be evaluated in vitro. Finally, bioinformatic and machine learning will be used to gaining insight on the biology of neurodegenerative disorders using in vitro and in vivo data.

The RIVER CLEANING Project aims at introducing a groundbreaking concept for capturing plastic litter from rivers with a 95% of efficiency. Annually, about 1,700,000 tonnes of plastics are dispersed in seas, or even up to 8,000,000 tonnes, according to other estimates. Rivers are therefore acknowledged as responsible for about 80% of the whole ocean pollution. Plastic waste represents a pervasive environmental pollutant since its recalcitrancy and the environmental persistence. Plastic waste can indeed affect the seas and oceans life, until causing up to 100,000 marine mammals death every year, while microplastics contamination is proven to cause several diseases and long-term persistence in living tissues until reaching humans. Despite the wide acknowledgment of this burden, and a generalized pressure to drastically crackdown this, none of the current strategies result cost-effective to allow a large-scale uptake determining massive social and environmental impacts. Objective of RIVER CLEANING is exactly to introduce a cost-effective, flexible and easily maintainable solution for the capturing of plastics based on a series of rotating floating buys which allow the capture of floating waste. This system can capture up to 20kg / day of riverine plastics in standard operative conditions while being suitable for small rivers, urban rivers and even to protect critical industrial assets such as hydroelectric reservoirs. Moreover, this solution has a very low CAPEX and OPEX being suitable for public bodies, privates and NGO. This will allow to compensate for the current gap between plastic reduction policies and waste remediation approaches. Mold S.r.l., owner of RIVER CLEANING technology, expect to deploy up to 744 plants by 2030 thus capturing up to 5.3 million tonnes of plastics while generating €18.3 million of annual revenue turnover.

CONDJUST will create a new research field, Conservation Data Justice, that bridges three distinct areas of enquiry: conservation prioritisation, political ecology and Data Justice. The former uses data which risk marginalising rural peoples. The latter does not yet examine conservation data. Meanwhile political ecologists do not yet consider Data Justice approaches when tackling conservation prioritisation. CONDJUST will interrogate conservation data and models, and explore the epistemic communities producing them, to develop new theories of socially just, data-driven conservation. It will challenge the colonising tendencies of prioritisation work and seek decolonising alternatives. CONDJUST is timely because ambitious new global targets seek to safeguard 30% of the planet for conservation by 2030 (and more afterwards). These plans pose risks for rural people because the data and modelling they use can contain diverse forms of bias, exclusion and omission. These risks will grow as more social media data are used in conservation prioritisation. We need insights from Data Justice to understand these dangers, and how they might be counter-acted. This project has four objectives, each with a corresponding work package. These are: 1. Systematically examine the sources of bias and distortion in conservation data used in global prioritisation work. 2. Use Data Justice thinking in new analyses of biodiversity conservation, and increase our understanding of socially just conservation prioritisation. 3. Critically explore the construction of different epistemic communities in conservation prioritisation, and political ecology, to understand what inhibits and enhances learning between them. 4. Examine how policies responding to prioritisation are shaped by, or resist, the new measures proposed. These work packages will be pursued by an interdisciplinary team led by the PI and composed of three post-doctoral researchers, two PhDs, an administrator and an advisory board.

The ongoing global challenges and the twin transition of sectors results in a profound reshaping of the European labour market, jobs and necessary competencies and is likely to lead to skill mismatches. SkillResilience4EU aims to reframe the concept of resilience of the European labour markets under the fast-paced digital and green changes and related challenges, and to outline actionable pathways to narrow the labour market mismatches that this twin transition triggers, through reskilling and upskilling. SkillResilience4EU's objectives are: (1) The development of a novel conceptual framework to understand the impacts of the twin transition on European labour markets, in particular job creation and job destruction processes, and the interplay between the twin transition and other micro and macro drivers of change. (2) The investigation of the complex mechanisms, dynamics, and challenges that European labour markets undergo through the twin transition, and the delivery of recommendations and practical resources to support decision makers in managing the twin transition, focusing on the inclusion of left behind groups and places. (3) The mapping and evaluation of educational and training programmes for reskilling and upskilling and to deliver recommendations and practical resources to support individuals and employers in managing the twin transition, focusing on career guidance and development. (4) The promotion and facilitation of the further uptake of the project’s Key Exploitable Results and other outputs through active and broad dissemination towards key stakeholder groups. It consists of a consortium with interdisciplinary expertise in social sciences and humanities of 7 universities, 2 VET providers and 1 local authority and 8 work packages. SkillResilience4EU will go beyond the state of the art as it can have significant implications on the twin transition of the European labour markets, and the design of relevant policies and education and training practices.

Electrodynamic Cell Modulation for Accelerated Pathogen Isolation in Sepsis (ECMAPIS)

Infection diagnostics face a huge problem, being human sample complexity. Patient samples are riddled with human cells (background material), among which there are only very few pathogenic cells – and it is exactly the latter that need to be analysed for accurate diagnostics. This makes finding pathogens in patient samples a ‘needle in the haystack’ problem, resulting in long time to result and low sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. The problems that derive from sample complexity are most urgent in sepsis diagnosis, making sepsis the perfect beachhead market for the Cellectric platform. Cellectric uses its electrodynamic cell modulation platform for selective cell lysis to transform a large volume, complex blood sample into a simple, high-purity, transparent and low-volume microbial suspension. This is widely considered to be the key enabling step to realize faster, simpler, and more cost-efficient sepsis diagnosis, by accelerating pathogen detecting from 38h to 4h, facilitating timely life-saving therapy decisions by the attending physician. Our platform applies tightly controlled and regulated electric fields to manipulate the cell’s transmembrane voltage. The basis of this technology stems from the field of electroporation, a biophysical method, used to increase the permeability of cell membranes through electrical pulses. Our platform currently uses irreversible electroporation, which permanently disrupts cell membranes and can be used to kill selectively lyse “background” cells when isolating specific cell types (e.g. pathogens from blood samples). Our platform has no loss of pathogens or viability, is 98% selective, rapid, efficient, easy-to-use and integrate into existing workflows, and it is versatile. Its use will enhance medical treatment by rapidly isolating pathogens, which speeds up diagnosis and treatment for conditions like sepsis, reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.

Currently, every digital and/or IoT device has a power source based on the use of a battery or a wired connection. On one hand, wiring presents obvious problems (limited mobility, time and cost consuming installation/maintenance). On the other hand, batteries represent the biggest bottleneck in IoT sector due to their complicated management from a circuit and environmental point of view. At the same time, lithium batteries are currently the go-to energy storage solution for IoT devices. Lithium is currently sourced mainly from hard rock mines that leave scars in the landscape, it is very time consuming, requires a large amount of water (~2.2 mn lt per ton of lithium) and releases 15 tons of CO2 for every ton of lithium. What is more, the demand for lithium is predicted to grow x40 in the next two decades due to the energy transition to renewable power and EVs. An electrified economy in 2030 will likely up to 450,000 tons, resulting in ~7 mn tons of CO2 and 1 trillion lt of water; this is for the mining ONLY. Arox is poised to fundamentally reshape the operational dynamics of digital and IoT devices, particularly from a power and energy standpoint. The company introduces AX-E0 (Arox Zero Energy), an innovative battery-less Micro Controller Unit (MCU) that incorporates an analog energy-harvesting circuit within a unified System in Package. AX-E0 is engineered to harness energy from electromagnetic waves, which are abundant in urban settings, thereby making it ideally suited for smart city applications such as waste management, smart parking, air quality monitoring, traffic control, and security. AX-E0 has proven to reduce power consumption by x10 compared to SoA CPUs, while it has very few limitations for the number of applications due to the general-purpose MCU. With the growing trend of connected IoT devices, tens of billions of wireless sensors are expected to provide the necessary data making the need for a solution such as AX-E0 more urgent than ever.

Pulsify ambitions to develop the world’s first flexible ultrasound device enabling continuous cardiac monitoring, providing the cornerstone to revolutionize cardiac healthcare and becoming a leader in the blossoming field of wearable ultrasound . In opposition to invasive catheters and other wearable devices, such as ECG patches which only provide information on how frequently your heart is beating, the Pulsify patch will provide in an non-invasive way a direct and quantitatively accurate insight on the actual cardiac performance – i.e. the actual amount of blood being pumped into the body (stroke volume and cardiac output). This represents a disruptive innovation, creating a new product category in the healthcare space that currently does not exist at all – empowering physicians to continuously and accurately monitor the cardiac pumping condition of patients in hospital environments and beyond.
