Lamberprom is a Spanish company providing Advanced Technology Solutions to the manufacturing industry. Having executed several projects in the manufacturing industry, we know the market and the companies’ needs. We see a business opportunity in addressing the niche market of manufacturing SMEs in the pharmaceutical, fine chemists and food&beverage sector that has – out of financial aspects – no access to existing sophisticated Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). These systems at the moment are tailored to the needs of large enterprises. We aim at developing and commercializing Industrial FW 4.0, which is an open 4.0 Industrial Internet Framework that enables communication between industrial systems (MES) and the Internet (cloud). This solution integrates production systems with Internet (B2B, Social Media, and Digital Marketing) in real-time and allows context aware automated decision making. Our prototype and the first pilot tests have delivered promising technological results. Bringing the solution to the market would provide SMEs with a marketplace, where they can acquire a set of functional modules according to their MES needs, thus keeping the system complexity and the associated costs at the level of their financial capabilities. Furthermore, Industrial FW 4.0 is an open system that allows interoperability between heterogeneous systems, thus giving Independence from developers and integrators. Our concept fits very well in the concept of “Industry 4.0”, a project promotes the computerization of traditional industries such as manufacturing. This has now become a world-wide trend, because the industry could save billions of euros if the Industrial Internet achieved an increase of only 1% annual productivity growth over the next 15 years. We expect that this phase 1 project will bring us closer to commercialization of Industrial FW 4.0 through assessing its feasibility and commercialization potential.

NIMBqUS addresses the need for improving the theoretical understanding of interacting quantum many-body systems caused by recent breakthroughs in the area of quantum simulators. It takes on this challenge on three different levels: 1) It will unleash the power of semidefinite programming for finding ground states of quantum systems by both producing a user friendly open source software library that makes these powerful techniques available to a wide audience of researchers - thereby increasing innovation and productivity - and applying them to gain new insights into quantum phase transitions. 2) It will make new inroads into the description of complex quantum systems with novel analytical results on many-body localization, systems with long-range interactions, and their thermodynamic properties. 3) It will push our understanding of what makes large quantum systems complex to a new level by bridging the gap between the abstract proofs of computational hardness from computer science and state-of-the-art experimental implementations of quantum simulators. All this will be achieved in a multi-disciplinary research action, involving experts from institutions in four European countries, led and coordinated by the fellow. During the project, the fellow will diversify his competences by learning a new programming language and significantly extending his area of expertise to both (quantum) complexity theory and experimental implementations of quantum simulations. He will expand and strengthen his network of scientific contacts, as well as that of the host institute ICFO, and learn from leading experts during secondments. Concrete dissemination events are planned and the fellow will be integrated into the supervision of pre- and postgraduate students. The work plan is designed to bring the researcher into an excellent position to start an independent research group after this fellowship, but also to open up alternative career paths in the high-tech industry.

Livestock dung is commonly found in many human settlements, especially after the domestication of herds. Although receiving increasing attention in archeology, dung materials and secondary products are still routinely overlooked and this area of research is under-developed despite their worldwide importance as suppliers of manure, fuel source, temper and building material. This oversight is due in part to methodological problems in identifying dung during excavation and many bulk analyses, which destroy critical evidence on dung form, content, deposition and preservation in archaeological assemblages. This research will develop new interdisciplinary analytical strategies for microarchaeological study of dung combining geoarchaeology, bioarchaeology and biochemistry and experimental and ethnoarchaeological approaches. This integrated methodology will be applied to examine the context and content of livestock dung from mobile hunting-gathering to more sedentary farming Neolithic case-studies selected on a transect through the Near East, one of the key heartlands in which plants and animals that were later domesticated occur naturally, to the still little investigated northern Africa, a potentially critical area with implications for surrounding areas including the Mediterranean and the Sahara. It will also provide exciting new insight into the role of livestock and livestock dung in the development of more complex urban societies in Eastern Maghreb. These case-studies offer rich dung evidence for tracing human-animal interactions in different regions through time and key episodes of environmental and social change. The proposed project will establish a standard state-of-the-art interdisciplinary methodology for insight into archaeological dung as a valuable source of information on diverse cultural and economic aspects of past life-ways and the developments early farming and complex urban communities more widely.

IPUD – An Implantable Peritoneal Ultrafiltration Device that actively and continuously prevents fluid overload in diuretic resistant heart failure patients. (IPUD)

Framework: Horizon 2020 — Industrial Leadership
Programme: Innovation in SMEs
Action type: SME instrument

Fluid overload (congestion) is a classic clinical symptom and cause of distress among heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Diuretics are currently the gold standard treatment but of the 26 million heart failure patients annually around the world, over one third are diuretic resistant. Current solutions for fluid overload in diuretic resistant patients such as IV diuresis, ultrafiltration therapy and peritoneal dialysis all carry complications and are acute treatments which do not prevent recurrence. IPUD improves the clinical condition of fluid overloaded patients by continuously removing extracellular fluids with a unique implantable peritoneal ultrafiltration device, operating non-aggressively and independently from the kidneys’ function. IPUD is minimally invasive (laparoscopic approach) and the flat absorption device interfaces with the intraperitoneal membrane and applies a hydrostatic pressure gradient. It then continuously (24/7) and slowly absorbs systemic isotonic extracellular fluid and drains it to the urinary system preventing recurred accumulation. The device has a projected service life of 3 years and recharging the device has been made simple for the patients via wireless charging, needed on a weekly basis. The global congestive heart failure treatment device market is worth almost $6 billion and is poised to grow at a CAGR of around 6.4% over the next decade to reach approximately $17.8 billion by 2025. IPUD will be sold directly to hospitals and clinics for approximately €30,000 through collaborations with the major distributors of heart failure devices. Our senior team has over 50 years’ experience in the cardiology and medical device sectors combined with extensive academic education. We have raised €1 million in funding. Our full-time staff headcount is 4. Partnerships have been secured with several manufacturing subcontractors, including Sensirion in Switzerland, Inomec in Israel and Bossert Kast in Germany.

Dyme introduces an application that enables consumers to take complete control over their financial situation. The number of paid subscriptions per person is increasing rapidly. As a result, consumers experience a lack of overview, and find it increasingly difficult to manage their finances. This is evident in the fact that 53% of the people between 18 and 35 forget to cancel at least one unwanted subscription annually (Nibud, 2018). Furthermore, switching an negotiating between providers on a yearly basis is lucrative for consumers, yet perceived to be a substantial effort. It is increasingly difficult to manage expenses. People are trying to save money, while unknowingly paying for subscriptions they do not use. Switching, cancelling or renegotiating contracts on a yearly basis can save customers €720 per year. Dyme introduces an application that enables consumers to take complete control over their recurring expenses. Users connect their bank account, and Dyme uses machine learning techniques to detect their memberships. Thereafter, users can switch or cancel subscriptions with a single click. There is currently no application that provides a complete overview of all recurring expenses and provides its users an instant mechanism to act on this information. Dyme offers a solution that is both innovative and convenient and accessible for all Europeans.

Climate change is shortening the ski season because of less snow precipitation and of a higher average winter temperature. The lack of snow represents a serious threat for the multi-billion-dollar ski tourism industry. Currently, snowmaking techniques require an air temperature below 0°C and low humidity, thus are not applicable for large part of the season. NeveXN developed a technology able to produce high quality snow at temperatures above 0°, in all weather condition and without any chemical additives. SnowRESolution is a green snowmaker that collects the thermal energy required by the compressor by renewable energy sources (either a solar thermal collector or a biomass steam generator). The production of snow is then more environmentally sustainable, cheaper and possible in every season. Winter tourism is very important in all mountain regions, it generates annual revenues for $70 billion, but it is highly dependent on the availability of snow. If slopes are bare in a crucial period, such as Christmas vacations, ski resorts and the whole mountain economy undergo to huge losses. SnowRESolution address the market of ski resorts that want to guarantee the production of snow also when ambient temperature is above 0°C. During phase 1, a feasibility study will be focused on defining the complete supply chain, a sound business model and commercialization strategy, planning of all activities for deploying a field test in ski resorts, as well as the elaboration of an industrialization and marketing plan.

This project proposes an innovative, integrative and data-intensive approach to understand the parameters for long-term sustainable functioning of complex societies under vulnerable conditions. The broad aim of the research is to explore contexts of collapse and resilience in an ancient society with high levels of socio-political complexity and technological ingenuity within a resource-limited environment. It focuses on the Byzantine early Christian urban centres of the Negev Desert (4th-7th cent. AD) disclosing both the triumph of human ingenuity in conquering the desert through large-scale human settlement and agricultural development as well as a striking and as yet ambiguous case of wholesale systemic collapse. To test hypotheses regarding social disintegration, economic stress, environmental degradation due to climatic or anthropogenic causes, and the question of plague the project integrates approaches in the archaeology of households, landscapes and garbage through use of biomolecular, botanical, zoological, geological, chronometric, artifactual and contextual sources of data. Dealing with societal vulnerability in marginal regions is timely and relevant in a world where accelerating development rapidly expands such problems, previously localized, to global levels. Although it is a risky endeavour to engage the record of past societies to inform the present and forecast the future due to the typically underdetermined nature of historical and proxy data, this project offers substantial gain to theoretical and empirical research on societal vulnerability in two main avenues: (1) providing an opportunity to critically re-evaluate the current state of knowledge in the field based on an extensive corpus of new, high-quality data and (2) drawing more nuanced and informed broad generalizations regarding limiting states for human ingenuity in reconciling social and economic development with sustainable management of the environment and its resources.
