Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (“VCSEL”) drive and enable a number of fast growing markets, such as data transmission, camera surveillance, optical sensors and industrial processes. They are III-V semiconductor components made from GaAs, that can be processed in a way that resembles LED or CMOS processing. Yet, the status of VCSEL manufacturing is still embryonic when compared to LED manufacturing or CMOS silicon manufacturing processes. This VIDaP project will bring VCSEL manufacturing to a level comparable to LED manufacturing. The result will be a pilot line, targeting: • A 50% reduction in the cost of processed GaAs surface • Up to 200% increase of key performance parameters of the VCSEL devices. In order to achieve this result, work has to be done in the following areas: • Defining Epi structures and expected yields. • Install a robust statistical process control system to map control charts, minimize process drift and improve wafer yields. • Upgrading manufacturing capabilities in front- and back-end, and in packaging activity, and tighten process control. • Development of dedicated testing procedures of the VCSEL devices. • Specify and test VCELs for the different applications. The impact of the project is manifold: • The project helps to significantly reduce energy consumption in data centres and in thermal industrial processes. • The project helps to enable radically new solutions (e.g. high speed data communication, 3d recognition) • The project will generate employment at the involved companies, but also at other companies using VCSELs • The project helps to secure the leading European position in this growing segment of opto-electronics. The consortium consists of a two production facilities and four end customers, that will design the VCSELs into their products.

During our life’s, both privately and professionally, we exposed to a multitude of hazardous situations. And most of the time we are not (timely) aware of the dangerous situation. One of these silent killers is definitely carbon monoxide poisoning. There is a direct societal need for home and building automation (HABA) systems equipped with ultra-sensitive, reliable gas sensors (for hazardous gases), which are relatively low cost and low power, and presence detection technology which is able to register remaining occupants in an evacuated building. In addition, fire men and other workers who have to enter confined spaces are exposed to great invisible hazards almost each day, such as the possibility of no oxygen, toxic fumes, etc. Therefore, these workers should be equipped with reliable, wearable personal health monitors, which are able to detect both multiple hazardous gases at low concentrations and the person’s health conditions. The SAFESENS project aims at co-integration of gas sensor and presence detection technologies, which should enable an enhanced safety and security of buildings and its occupants. In order to achieve this, different technological building blocks will be developed and where possible co-integrated at least at system level. The final demonstrators should exceed the performance of state-of-the-art devices at the level of form factor, power consumption and reliability (specificity in case of gas detection).

Title: Deep Submicron System on Chip (SoC) pilot line demonstration for harsh environment applications in Europe 300mm wafers manufacturing and 65nm technology for space developed by STm, are a worldwide leading item. The European Space Community needs high complexity radiation-hardened reprogrammable FPGAs allowing dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) and providing state of the art, tamper proof, security features. These components must be free of export control. A newly available European origin innovative reprogrammable FPGA architecture has been assessed by Atmel and approved by the two main European Primes EADS Astrium and Thales Alenia Space. This technology will be also used for market segment dealing with harsh environment: Avionics, Transport and - Energy. Dynamic partial reconfiguration has been successfully experienced on Xilinx Virtex 4 and 5 families, and tested on Atmel AT280 architecture but where limited by the architecture and tool constraints of existing software. Securing FPGA programming memory has been implemented by Xilinx and Microsemi. Implementation have been broken one way or the other, in particular by RUB, our WP leader for security. Packaging generally used are ceramic hermetic which limits the die size though the overall capability. Organic substrate, silicon interposer should give the solution for high capacity, power dissipation, and high speed signal integrity. Optical links gives the solution to the new challenges of package to package interconnection up to 20GHz. Optical interfaces must be integrated in the package. The DEMETER project will bring unique innovative solutions by integrating all reprogrammable functions and protection through native code, directly on chip and in software. It will offer European autonomy on space FPGAs, with feature of -55°C to +125°C temperature range a lifetime to be extended to 20 years, hardening at least for atmospheric neutron, high speed IOs and long operating lifetime.

The proposed ERA Chair project aims at supporting the on-going structural shift in the culture of the scientific community of Masaryk University by engaging a world-class scientific leader capable of inspiring positive change. Masaryk University has already been deeply involved in this process as the largest contributing member of the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC). CEITEC is a scientific centre in the fields of the life sciences and advanced materials and technologies with the aim of establishing itself as a recognized centre for basic as well as applied research. The CEITEC consortium includes the most prominent universities and research institutes in Brno in the Czech Republic. Thanks to EU Structural Funds, CEITEC is currently in a very rapid stage of development. One of the challenges facing our organization will be to maximize the high potential that CEITEC has at its disposal through cross-disciplinary collaboration. Within this proposal, we outline the intent to recruit an individual with the commitment to act as an agent of transformation to CEITEC and Masaryk University as a whole, and we will provide the eventual incumbent with a position and the means within the organisation to implement a robust cross-disciplinary program aimed at catalysing the creation of an open, dynamic scientific environment. Thus, we believe transformational leaders are an essential asset, not just for what they can achieve scientifically, but also how they can lead by example.

ALMARVI aims at providing cross-domain many-core platform solution, system software stack, tool chain, and adaptive algorithms that will enable massive data-rate image/video processing with high energy efficiency. ALMARVI will provide mechanisms and support for high degree of adaptivity at various system layers that will abstract the variations in the underlying platforms (e.g., due to imperfections in the fabrication process), communication channels (e.g., available bandwidth), application behaviour (dynamic workloads, changing requirements) from the application developer. This is crucial for providing consistent performance efficiency in an interoperable manner when considering heterogeneous platform options and dynamic operating conditions. The key is to leverage image/video content-specific properties, application-specific features, and inherent resilience properties of image/video processing applications. The goal of ALMARVI is to develop: • Adaptive, scalable, and parallelised algorithms for image and video processing • Cross-domain system software stack with adaptive run-time system for efficient resource/power management and improved interoperability • Concepts for continuous hardware and software adaptations • Cross-domain many-core execution platform scalable with off-the-shelf heterogeneous acceleration fabrics like FPGAs, embedded GPUs, DSPs, etc. • Design tools and methods for execution platform • Industrial-grade demonstrators for multiple application use cases to validate the project results.

Food technologists from private companies as well as university researchers are currently investing time and effort in the quest of healthier food systems. One innovative solution may be to provide structured dairy powders allowing stabilization and enhancing the performance of bioactive compounds (flavonoid, vitamins, enzymes…) and cells (bacteria). The present project is focused on probiotics stabilization and particularly on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The design of milk powders in Nancy has already proven to be a valuable vector for enhancing the nutritional profile as demonstrated by preservation and controlled release of probiotics during food processing, shelf-life and gastric transit. Nevertheless, the way the bacteria interact with milk components has never been elucidated in order to improve encapsulation yield or survival rate. In addition, the powder form allows a longer shelf-life of the product before incorporation in food systems. Concurrently with this challenge, the number of researchers acting in powder technology and more particularly dairy powders is very limited and only few universities and research centers (mainly located in Europe and Australia) are specialised in this field. In contradiction with this lack of research institutions involved in dairy powder research, 80% of all dairy products may exist in a dry form at some point in their processing lifetime. The project is thus focused on the development of model powders interconnecting process parameters, LGG location in the powder structure (from atomic-, to micro- and macro-scale) and their functionality. This implies an in-depth study of interactions between milk components and LGG, based on the development of new methodologies to characterize the bacterial location within the structure. The industrial objectives are to optimize and control the processes to suit industrial needs: encapsulation efficiency, stability during processing and storage, gastric resistance, intestinal release.

Finite dimensional approximation phenomenon is laying at the crossroads of graph theory, group theory and operator algebras. It helps to understand constant-time algorithms, von Neumann factors and several interesting conjectures on discrete groups. In a nutshell, finite dimensional approximation means that certain infinite structures, groups, graphs, measurable equivalence relations or algebras can be regarded as limits of finite or finite dimensional objects. Using the limit notions one can prove theorems in the finite world by looking at the limits, or prove theorems about infinite groups or infinite dimensional algebras by investigating the finite objects. The theory (and the proposal itself) is closely related to famous problems such as the Atiyah Conjecture or the Connes Embedding Conjecture. Gabor Elek, the researcher in the proposal is an expert of this area and made successful research on various branches of finite dimensional approximation theory such as sofic groups, L2-invariants, profinite actions and hypergraph limits. He proposes to attack several problems of the area. His ultimate goal is to work out a general theory of the subject and to extend the scope of finite dimensional approximation theory to some new areas of mathematics. Elek currently holds a senior researcher position at the Alfred Renyi Mathematical Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. If funded, he intends to build further connections between the Hungarian combinatorics school and European institutions.

Current debates on the Enlightenment and its influence on present-day society call for an informed scholarly response. What exactly is the Enlightenment? What are its historical roots and how is it being used in current public debate? This project aims to contribute to such a response by introducing a specific tradition of urban lay philosophy—namely ‘vernacular rationalism’ in the Netherlands—as a new factor in our understanding of the rise and meaning of Enlightenment. As a secondary objective, the project aims to assess the relevance of lay philosophy generally for the understanding of early modern society and culture. This is achieved by (1) examining the philosophical and socio-cultural legacy of 16th-century vernacular rationalism and its function in the Dutch Golden Age, (2) using this to enhance our understanding of the Enlightenment as a historical phenomenon and as a historiographic notion, and (3) turning the case of vernacular rationalism into an informed illustration of the relevance of lay philosophy generally for early modern studies. Underpinning these research objectives is the strong conviction that it should be natural for intellectual historians to see philosophical ideas as responses to social, religious, political and other issues. The project will therefore reflect an interdisciplinary approach, seeking to integrate—under close monitoring of highly experienced multi/interdisciplinary supervisors—knowledge and methods from various fields of study. As such, it stands at the crossroads of philosophy, culture history and literary studies. By assessing, refining and correcting our knowledge of the foundations of present-day European society and culture, the project will enhance excellence and increase understanding on a subject directly relevant to the ERA and the EU at large. The mobility is genuine, as its aim is my training in a first-rate US environment and my re-integration into an outstanding multidisciplinary environment in Europe.
