The environment is one of the most crucial determinants of health. The Global Burden of Disease report estimates an emerging impact in terms of disability and reducing the quality of life worldwide, particularly for the aging populations. One of the root causes of this decline is likely to derive from the interaction of socio-environmental risk factors and sub-clinical conditions and the consequent increase of the primary non-communicable disease (dementia, COPD, cerebrovascular and chronic ischemic heart diseases). The multi-dimensional nature causal pathways of these interactions are still mostly unknown. In this complex scenario, where the relationship between exposure and outcomes is so different and multifaceted, the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) process is the standard tool that provides an overview of the matter, from the screening of health risk factors to the introduction of new health policies and the monitoring of effects. A complete digital approach for HIA that could dynamically adapt to the variability of the determinants and their interaction is still poorly investigated. Artificial Intelligence algorithms offer innovative and high-performance possibilities for HIA implementations, improving elaboration and resizing of complex information and data. This proposal aims to develop a technological toolkit for dynamic, intelligent HIA toolkit to predict the health impact of health-related features, forecasting the trajectories of disability and quality of life reduction. This method will use environmental, socio-economic, geographical, and clinical characteristics, managed and elaborated with a federated learning architecture. The generated models will be adjusted for lifestyle and individual conditions data sourced from large population-based digital surveys. The models will be trained and validated on three different exposures to the steel plants' pollution: Taranto in southern Italy, Rybnik in Poland, and Flanders in Belgium.

The TWINSAFE project is dedicated to advancing road safety research capabilities at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences (FTTS) by collaborating with Lund University (LU) and Hasselt University (HU). The project's overarching goal is to establish FTTS as a center of excellence in multidisciplinary road safety research, education, and innovation. TWINSAFE aims to promote knowledge sharing, best practices, and a multidimensional approach, including joint research, capacity building, internationalization, diversity, and entrepreneurial thinking. Road safety is a global concern, with road accidents causing a substantial loss of life and severe injuries worldwide. The EU has set ambitious targets to reduce road fatalities and injuries by 50% by 2030, emphasizing the Safe System Approach. However, disparities exist among EU member states, including Croatia, where challenges persist despite high-quality road infrastructure. These challenges result from a lack of integration and interdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders. TWINSAFE seeks to address these challenges by fostering cooperation with the newly established Centre of Excellence for Road Traffic Safety (CERTS). CERTS aims to unify experts from academia, industry, and the public sector, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to develop innovative solutions and align research with the Safe System Approach. In summary, the TWINSAFE project's mission is to elevate road safety research and innovation at FTTS, collaborate with leading European institutions, and embrace an interdisciplinary approach through CERTS. The ultimate objective is to make significant strides in addressing the critical issue of road safety and contribute to the EU's ambitious targets for a safer road environment.

MAST3RBoost will bring to the stage of maturation a new generation of ultraporous materials (Activated carbons, ACs, and MOFs) with a 30% increase of the working capacity of H2 at 100 bar (reaching 10 wt% and 44 gH2/lPS), by turning the lab-scale synthesis protocols into industrial-like manufacturing process. Densified prototypes of ACs and MOFs will be produced beyond 10 kg for the first time using pre-industrial facilities already in place. The process will be actively guided by unsupervised Machine Learning, while the foundations for an in-depth supervised learning in the sector of H2 storage will be established with harmonized procedures. Recycled raw materials for the manufacturing of the ultraporous materials will be actively pursued, both from waste agroforestry biomass and from solid urban waste (PET and Al-lined bricks). In parallel, new lightweight Al and Mg-based metal alloys will be adapted to Additive Manufacturing, via the WAAM technology. Databases for mechanical properties relevant to pressure vessel design will be improved, covering gaps for testing under compressed H2. WAAM and engineering capacities (COMSOL numerical calculation) will allow to produce an innovative type I vessel demonstrator including balance of plant and with a dedicated shape to better fit on-board. A unique combination of maximum pressure (up to 100 bar) and carefully selected temperature swing will allow producing a system storage density as high as 33 gH2/lsys. The system will be manufactured to embed 1 kg of H2, becoming a worldwide benchmark for the adsorbed storage at low compression with a highly competitive projected cost of 1,780 ? for the automotive sector. This demonstrator will embody an actual and techno-economically feasible solution for transportations sectors that require storage capacities beyond 60 kg H2 such as trucks, trains and planes. LCA and risk & safety assessment will be performed with high-quality data and shared with stakeholders of the sector.

The proposed project enhances networking activities between research institution in Widening country (Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, IFE SAS) and top-class counterparts at the EU level (Finnish Geospatial Research Institute, The University of Eastern Finland and Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences). The project builds on networking for excellence through knowledge transfer and exchange of best practices between involved institutions. The major result will be raising reputation, research profile and attractiveness of IFE SAS. Project implementation will enhance IFE SAS staff management capacities, administrative skills and scientific capabilities in the use of novel remote sensing technologies (RST) in forest disturbance ecology (FDE). The project proposes establishment of initial network and development of a new joint research project in novel RST applications in FDE. Rigorous analyses of severe insect-induced disturbances using novel RST will be carried out in test areas representing different forest and climate types: mountain forests in Slovakia and boreal forests in Finland and Sweden. We will integrate in situ UAV and drone acquired remotely sensed data, existing multitemporal geospatial information and field data, particularly data on bark beetle population density, visible infestation symptoms linked to outbreak phases, and tree physiology parameters measured using electronic dendrometers or sapflow meters. The combined dataset will be used to develop new tools for landscale-level early bark beetle attack identification and for designing bark beetle infestation risk assessment model. We will draw on the latest advances in drone technologies and image analytical tools, including deep Convolutional Neural Networks based machine learning techniques and Artificial Intelligence algorithms. We expect to obtain important scientific results and contribute new knowledge to this scientific field.

REMoTIon proposes an innovative Compact Resonant Wave Barrier (CRWB) to mitigate railway-induced ground vibrations. Engineering implementation of current pile barriers is limited due to their large dimensions, especially in city centers. Instead, by exploiting the locally resonant metamaterials concept, the proposed research framework allows for designing barriers with practical engineering dimensions. The main research objectives of the project include: (i) analytical design of CRWB guided by dispersion laws by employing Multiple Scattering theory, (ii) numerical design and optimization of CRWB exploiting a mixed wave finite element method and machine learning technique, and (iii) fabrication and testing of CRWB on the field.

The IBC4EU project will develop cost effective and sustainable bifacial interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell and module technology on pilot line level. Based on business cases from the whole value chain – ingot, wafer, cell and module – we will demonstrate that IBC technology is the most promising choice for a fast launch of GW scale PV production in the EU. Cost competitiveness not only against future heterojunction (HJT) and Tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology but also present-day PERC and PERC technology will be demonstrated for the polyZEBRA and POLO IBC cell designs. To reach this goal, cost-effective production equipment will be developed and eco-design approaches will be employed to reduce the need for scarce materials such as silicon metal and silver and to maintain indium-free design. Pilot lines, interlinked on all levels of production, will help to reach GW scale mass production not only on cell but also on ingot, wafer and module level until 2030. The advantage of the chosen IBC technology is that it is based on existing production technology. Thus, the project will focus on improving existing processing steps on already available equipment, introducing some novel equipment to reduce the cost of ownership, and employing Industry 4.0 solutions for predictive maintenance, quality control and traceability. The feasibility of the chosen technologies and the innovative products will be evaluated by business-related parameters as well as performance characteristics which will be tested according to the relevant standards and in demo sites. The environmental impact will be monitored closely and eco-design approaches will be used to reduce the CO2 footprint, increase the resource efficiency and recyclability and improve in terms of circularity potential.

Astrophysical observations of young stellar objects and their disks, as well as studies of the components of primitive meteorites, concur to demonstrate that many of the mineralogical, chemical and isotopic characteristics of the first planetesimals to form in the protosolar nebula (PSN) were established during the first few hundreds of thousands of years of the solar system. However, the chemical and physical processes that transformed the dust and gas of the parent molecular cloud into the dust that formed the bodies of the solar system remain largely unknown. This is exemplified by the fact that all the rocks that are known in the Solar system exhibit, from the micrometer to the bulk scales, isotopic compositions for the major element oxygen that cannot result from the “classical” evaporation, condensation, melting crystallization processes observed in terrestrial rocks and in experiments. The aim of the DUST proposal is to make decisive advances in our understanding of the origin of dust in the PSN by discovering, from experiments in plasmas simulating the PSN, the gas-solid reactions that produced the oxygen isotope anomalies in solids and transferred them to all the precursors of primitive meteorites. This work will be complemented by the development of a new analytical technique to explore the mineralogical and chemical composition of hundreds of thousands of sub-micrometer-sized grains in the matrix of the most primitive chondrites, in search of preserved PSN dust. In addition, systematic isotopic studies of silicon in this matrix will be developed to better constrain the extent of kinetic processes during the so-called condensation sequence of the hot PSN gas. Finally, a condensation code including, for the first time, the various isotopic fractionations and the non-equilibrium effects due to variations in condensation rates, will be developed and used to predict the expected relationships between the mineralogy and isotopic composition of condensed dust.

Anxiety disorders’ diagnosis, decision and treatment processes are still uncertain and inconsistent especially in a fast-evolving real world where stressors affect people in different ways. SMILE aims to improve the quality of mental health management and ensure affordable services by sharing information, providing scalable digital tools, and ensuring personalized decision-making and evidence-based interventions in an effective way. To achieve these goals, SMILE will develop mainly Open Knowledge Platform (OKP) and interactive gamification tools. OKP will bring together healthcare professionals, scientists, policymakers, businesses, and citizens to co-design effective decision strategies and unlock access to meaningful knowledge. Gamification will provide self-assessment, learning, and self-care services for young people to develop thinking, coping, and doing skills. Hence, SMILE will be able to integrate and analysis at least 7 different diagnostic data from clinical data to daily living parameters. Also, SMILE will assist primarily clinicians and help patients through 3 decision-making tools. The analytics and predictive tools will support practitioners in understanding the associations between risk factors, and anxiety, and recommending interventions in a personalized way. The SMILE digital tools and services will be implemented and validated in eight real-life strategic case studies, in 7 different European countries: UK, Germany, Cyprus, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Italy, to reach TRL 7. Also, a systematic upscaling method will be deployed to sustain our program and ensure the continuity in the post-project. SMILE will deliver durable legal, socio-economic, gender and environmental values for the benefit of healthcare professionals, patients, EU SMEs and society at large. Finally, SMILE has strong multidisciplinary skills and is composed of one leading research center, 5 SMEs, 3 pilot centers, 4 public universities, and 1 policymaker from 9 European countries.

This project takes as its starting point the profound crisis that is affecting constitutional democracies all over the world. The crisis is manifested both through a growing lack of confidence in constitutionalism and a dramatic increase in citizen dissatisfaction towards democracy. The project is mainly motivated in that crisis and focuses on one of its causes: the constitutional structure itself. It is grounded on the acknowledgement that our constitutions were written in order to serve societies that no longer exist -an “obsolete political sociology”- and based on theoretical assumptions that we no longer share -an “elitist political philosophy”. This would explain the widespread feelings of civic disengagement that would be distinctive of our time -and of which (“populist”) politics frequently take advantage In the face of the present crises, numerous scholars have proposed weakening even further the democratic elements of our constitutional structure, as if there existed a zero-sum relationship between democracy and constitutional rights. Contrary to such views, this project wants to make constitutionalism more sensitive to the increasing democratic demands upon it. The project aims to offer concrete institutional alternatives devised to channel the demands of democracy, and engage with activists and members of civil society, in order to discuss and disseminate the projects’ outcomes. For that purpose, this project will first gather information on both contemporary constitutional reforms and the recent Citizen Assemblies’ movement; then compare and analyze that information with the help of experts and social activists; and finally evaluate that material from the "regulatory ideal" that guides the project, which is that of democracy as a "conversation among equals." The ultimate goal of the project is to design institutional proposals that are at the same time respectful of individual rights, and respectful of the decisions resulting from democratic dialogue.
