FreeWheel promotes social inclusion of disabled and elderly people through a urban mobility solution consisting of a unit integrating an autonomous “smart active” module, multiple custom interfaces and an app. Such a solution can be either rented (a sharing service available at in-door and out-door urban facilities), or sold; in the latter case the unit includes a fully personalized wheelchair. FreeWheel satisfies the need for customization, both on the user and on the vehicle side, through the implementation of a modular concept based on standard reconfigurable, low-cost modules (e.g. engine, gears, control unit, HMI, etc.) and on ultra-customized interfaces (e.g. body-to-vehicle, engine-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, etc.), produced via additive manufacturing. Re-configurability is achieved through an easy exchange of standard modules in different products. A further objective is making affordable the lifecycle cost of the above-mentioned mobility service (and/or product) through an innovative business model that offers mobility as a service (independent of vehicle ownership) and by leveraging dematerialization (reduction of manufacturing lead times and investment costs) and product re-configurability. The expected impact is: - Social inclusion of elderly and disabled citizens: the project will demonstrate affordability and safety in accessing public spaces in urban areas; - Short time-to-market: 70% less than the conventional approach. - Significant cost reduction in the manufacturing of a personalised wheelchair unit as a result of the re-usability and adaptability of personalised products components; - Ultra-low environmental impact: re-usability of modules and efficient manufacturing leading to more than 70% in environmental impact reduction regarding primary resources consumed while offering this mobility service.

The Project “Excellence in science and innovation for Europe by adopting the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (NewHoRRIzon)” sets out to promote the acceptance of RRI in Horizon 2020 (H2020) and beyond. It will work out the conceptual and operational basis to fully integrate RRI into European and national research and innovation (R&I) practice and funding. In order to accomplish this goal, NewHoRRIzon will establish altogether 18 Social Labs that cover all sections of H2020. Together with a wide-ranging group of R&I stakeholders, in these Social Labs, NewHoRRIzon will co-create tailor-made pilot actions that will stimulate an increased use and acceptance of RRI across H2020 and each of its parts. These pilot actions will address a variety of R&I actors such as academia, business, non-university research institutes, research funding organisations, policy-makers on European, Member State and global level, civil society organisations (CSOs) and the general and specific public(s) as they arise from technological controversies. Ultimately, the pilot actions to be developed and tested in the Social Labs will contribute to R&I projects that fully recognise the significance of RRI. NewHoRRIzon will stimulate learning about how to accomplish RRI in H2020 and beyond in its Social Labs, in two cross-sectional workshops and two transdisciplinary conferences. It will conceptualise and operationalise a Society Readiness Level (SRL) for R&I that focuses on the alignment between the processes and products of R&I on the one hand, and broader societal demands and expectations on the other. Finally, NewHoRRIzon will use a variety of target-group specific strategies to disseminate best practises to promote acceptance of RRI across H2020 and generate long-term impact. For that it will use existing spaces and networks as well as create new ones.

Subject of the T-Sense project, the irreversible temperature indicator for detection of temperature volatility outside tolerance use irreversible temperature-sensitive printing ink, which changes colour permanently when heated over TA. Ink is developed solely by MyCol, as it is currently unavailable on the market. Irreversible printing inks, are applied as certain design of print on a suitable substrate (paper, foil, packaging). The speed of the used screen-printing is as high as 100 m/min, which enable mass production and a low price per piece. Thus, temperature indicators are feasible for each individual product / package in the cold supply chain with almost negligible investment for a customer. Also subject of the feasibility study, the time temperature indicator (TTI) is the active material used in Cold chain is temperature-controlled supply chain for products, such as fresh and frozen food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Why is T-Sense important? Because each producer that enters cold chain should count at least 10% of the turnover as a waste due to lack of control in the chain! Here we are dividing the responsibility among all actors across the supply chain and empower producers to increase the level of control in production. This problem is our business opportunity. University of Ljubljana recognized the innovation potential by awarding the Innovation of the Year to the authors, who are also MyCol founders. We (4 female scientists-entrepreneurs) have started MyCol company as a spin-off from National Institute of Chemistry, second-ranking scientific institution in Slovenia. We produce innovative labels, new at the global level, applicable to any reasonably smooth surface, low-cost, needing no energy supply, which show temperature changes in the cold chain with the naked eye (or by video camera). Launching this product portfolio on the market, we strongly believe it can benefit to individual links in the cold supply chain, mostly on producer side.

With the proliferation of multi-core processors, concurrent programming regularly appears at the core of heavily relied-upon systems, where both performance and correctness are of paramount importance. The canonical concurrency model is sequential consistency-identifying concurrent programs with all possible interleavings of operations of their constitute threads. It is a simple model for programmers, but unsatisfactory as a programming language concurrency semantics. First, performance-wise, it is too costly to implement. In fact, no commodity hardware provides sequential consistency. Second, the number of interleavings is often so large, posing the infamous "state explosion problem" as the utmost obstacle to any verification attempt. Our overarching goal is to develop a novel concurrency semantics for programming languages that will: allow efficient implementation; provide easily usable guarantees, sufficiently strong for concurrent algorithms; and be amenable to scalable verification. To achieve this, we will leverage our recent advances in addressing the flaws in the C/C++ and Java specifications and in model checking under certain weak concurrency semantics. Moreover, we will develop practical verification methods to facilitate the task of concurrent programming. This proposal makes a conceptual leap beyond the state-of-the-art, by identifying the development of a weak concurrency semantics not only as an unfortunate necessity, but also as an opportunity to revolutionize software verification. It is high-risk: it tackles a longstanding open problem in programming languages. It is also high-gain: it will significantly increase the applicability of verification, bridge a major gap between verification research and practical concurrent programming, and shed light on the role of the underlying semantics. I aim for the proposed concurrency semantics to provide new foundations for the specifications of mainstream and emerging programming languages.

Type I interferonopathies (T1IFNs) are rare genetic diseases associated with an inappropriate upregulation of type I interferon (IFN) signalling. IFNs represent the first line of defence against viruses, and are induced by sensing of viral nucleic acids. Definition of the genetic basis of the T1IFNs has led to a coherent understanding of underlying pathology, involving previously unappreciated pathways of nucleic acid metabolism, and enabled the introduction of rational therapy targeted at blocking IFN signalling. Thus, it is important to identify new T1IFNs and determine their molecular and cellular basis. Beyond their role in energy metabolism, mitochondria are also recognised to play a role in the immune response to infection. Interestingly, both mitochondrial (mt) DNA and mtRNA have the potential to trigger IFN. Indeed, loss of mt integrity promoting pathogenic IFN induction, through mt nucleic acids released into the cytosol, is a novel topic of high clinical and scientific interest. We have identified patients with mutations in a gene encoding a mt protein, in which we consider the observed enhanced IFN signalling directly relevant to the associated neuropathology. My project aims to better understand the link between mt homeostasis and IFN induction, thereby defining novel pathways relating to mt integrity, mt nucleic acids and innate immune surveillance. Specifically, I will study these relationships in the context of human disease, and I will search for further novel determinants of mt function linked to innate immune homeostasis using our unique clinical screening protocol. I will bring my expertise in mt biology to the host laboratory. At the same time, this project will place me at the leading edge of clinically-directed research on nucleic acid sensing and autoinflammation. Thus, this training opportunity is designed to lead me towards independence through the acquisition of new skills and the discovery of novel research paths for my future career.

The NanoScent core technology is based on proprietary and patent-protected nano sensors coupled with machine learning algorithms. At the heart of the solution is the ability of sensing and recognizing scents. Combining novel chemical nano sensors with advanced machine learning techniques, NanoScent technology tackles the challenging tasks of VOCs detection faced by the industry, organizations, authorities and individuals. NanoScent scent recognition system consists of low-cost, easy-to-use, fast-responding, high-sensitive Chemiresistor Sensors; Scent Recorder; and Scent Recognition Software. There is no effective method for early stage screening COVID-19, for the purpose of effective virus spread prevention. For example, gold standard -PCR method has €100s cost, intended for use by professionals at qualified laboratories, and has 1-2 days result delivery time, in contrast real-time and low-cost thermometer method has very low sensitivity and specificity, meaning that many people infected in COVID-19 may not be identified on time and immediately be isolated from healthy people. We truly believe that our technology could serve to help in the global effort of effective prevention of the spread of viruses. We are already commercializing our application for different industries. The COVID-19 and a long list of potential clients contacting us for a solution made us prioritize the detection of COVID-19. Founded in 2017 by two experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts, NanoScent Ltd. is developing a scent recognition technology for the aims of people safety, personal wellbeing, environmental protection and energy efficiency. NanoScent offers a system to visualize scent – scientifically referred to as a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in order to let industry, organizations, authorities and individuals make better decisions based on a new set of ‘eyes’ on everyday processes with an aim to protect the community from dangerous compounds.

AURORA is a cross-disciplinary project aiming at linking aeronautical, smart mobility, intelligent systems, urban planning, and citizens’ engagement with industry, authorities and citizens perspectives to foster the adoption of urban air mobility. AURORA primary focuses on emergency-related applications, such as medical emergency services and/or critical mobility infrastructure-related services, where urban air mobility can extend and complement current mobility systems. We believe that applications, where urban air mobility brings added value on top of the existing solutions, have a clear value proposition for the end-user and represent a fruitful path for early urban air mobility services acceptance. However, to get there technological, regulatory, economic, environmental and social challenges still need to be addressed and related gaps bridged. AURORA focuses on bridging these gaps and facilitating the integration of urban air mobility in a safe, secure, quiet and green manner. In more depth, AURORA research and innovation activities aim at implementing the enablers of intelligent urban air mobility for multitude of safety-critical applications in the urban environment. One of the key enablers of the urban air mobility is an intelligent and autonomous self-piloted or UAV capable of autonomous trajectory generation while detecting and avoiding obstacles (both aerial and ground objects) in normal and abnormal conditions. AURORA will focus on the development of intelligent and fail-safe guidance-navigation-control features of unmanned aerial system and augmented manned platform operating in urban environment. This includes, among others, an autonomous and continuous selection of emergency landing sites and automated landing in case of fatal malfunctioning of the unmanned aerial vehicle itself. The use-cases include decision making support to emergency services and insertion and extraction of life support items or victims/first responders at location of incident.

The project aims at distributing ultra-accurate and traceable timing through optical fibres. The goal is to provide traceable, accurate and cost-effective timing information for the Galileo Time System and for customers requiring highly dependable distributed synchronization applications. The target customers include government authorities as European Galileo Agency (for the Galileo surface segment) and customers in Telecom, Smart-Grid, stock market (high frequency trading) and highly accurate positioning markets (conventionally dependent on satellite signals). The use of terrestrial timing distribution allows National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) in charge of Galileo Time Validation Facility to compare their clocks and steer to UTC, maximizing the traceability of Galileo System Time and enhancing its accuracy. In addition, this allows deploying a terrestrial time network for industrial applications, traceable with respect to UTC and Galileo, robust against satellite signal vulnerability problems and providing redundant time services for critical infrastructures. This is possible with the emergent White Rabbit (WR) solution which is a sub-nanosecond accurate timing technology originally born at CERN for scientific facilities. WR is an extension of the standard Ethernet based on time distribution standards. As an extension of Ethernet, it can be easily integrated with existing communication networks at negligible bandwidth cost and can distribute time and frequency signals with 100 ps accuracy over distances longer than 1000 Km. The purpose of this project is to confirm a business plan and develop in detail an appropriate strategy to penetrate the market. This includes a proper market analysis (existing markets and emergent applications), partnership strategies and concrete commercialization plan for those sectors. In phase 1, we will focus on exploring the specific characteristics of different potential customers and final application sectors.
