Assistive technologies (AT) are the products, services, and systems which are used by persons with disabilities to achieve participation in society, and the realization of rights afforded by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. An estimated 1 billion people currently require AT, however only 1 in 10 has access to the appropriate AT to meet their needs. AT is critical to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and recognized by the World Health Organization as a key priority. In particular, the WHO has identified the importance of policies and systems to support AT, with a recent resolution from the World Health Assembly. As an MSCA fellow, Dr. Emma Smith will receive training from Prof. Malcolm MacLachlan, Research and innovation lead for the WHO Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology initiative, and professor of psychology and social inclusion at Maynooth University. A secondment to the European Disability Forum will provide Dr. Smith with training in stakeholder engagement, policy advocacy, and inclusion of persons with disabilities. The Assistive technologies in Resilient and Inclusive Systems and Enabling Environments (ARISE) project will develop and pilot a framework for resilient and inclusive systems to enable persons with disabilities to participate in their communities through the use of AT. ARISE uses a participatory research approach which engages persons with disabilities, academic researchers, and policy makers to understand the critical components of a policy framework. The ARISE Framework will be published in coordination with the European Disability Forum, and used by national and regional governments to craft policies which are resilient to global forces, including crises like COVID-19. This research stems from current evaluation of assistive technology services in light of the global crisis, and an understanding of the need to engage all stakeholders, especially AT users, in policy development

We are entering an era of high-precision neutrino oscillation experiments (T2HK, DUNE), which potentially hold answers to some of the most exciting questions in particle physics. These future scientific discoveries require a precise knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions for a wide range of energies and nuclear targets, mainly medium-mass nuclei like oxygen and argon. Presently, this goal is far from being reached due to the simplistic nuclear models used in experimental analyses performed with the Monte Carlo (MC) event generators. In view of these needs, “NU 4 ν: nuclear ab initio methods for neutrino physics” gives an insight from more fundamental nuclear studies and delivers consistent theoretical predictions. “NU 4 ν” is an interdisciplinary endeavour which pushes nuclear structure calculations towards new applications and higher energy regions. We propose to employ the coupled cluster (CC) framework to deliver and benchmark a set of tools that will be implemented in the MC event generators. For the first time we want to employ a fundamental many-body theory to give results on various steps of simulation done within the MC generators. Not only we encapsulate the physics of the nuclear ground state through an established formalism of spectral functions, but we also account for the effects of nuclear correlations in the intra-nuclear cascade, an integral part of the MC generators, leading to an unprecedented theoretical consistency. The CC theory is perfectly suited to describe systems as large as oxygen and argon, pivotal for the neutrino experiments. Recently it has been combined with Lorentz integral transform (LIT-CC) method opening the door to calculate neutrino-nucleus cross-sections from first principles. The concurrent planned research of the host group using the LIT-CC method will give a unique chance to compare both approaches and perform an analysis of theoretical uncertainties.

SIMUTOOL will develop a simulation platform for the manufacturing of composites through microwave MW heating. The simulation will include the electromagnetic field coupled with heat transfer mechanisms that take place during the production process. It will also include the process control loop which will enable the optimum design of the manufacturing process One of the major outputs of the simulation platform will be the successful design of a ceramic matrix composite tool with a MW absorbing layer in order to maximise the energy saving potential of the MW heating process. The project addresses the manufacturing issues of MW heating of composites which stem from the lack of understanding of the basic physics of the process (the most important item being how carbon fibers interact with the microwave field). The project will increase the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the MW heating of composites process to 6-7 -

This project aims at providing a new quantitative approach to financial regulation, notably in the context of high frequency trading. The key idea of our method is to build relevant statistical models through price and time scales, connecting the microstructure of financial markets to the long term behavior of prices. Doing so, we will be able to understand and quantify the macroscopic consequences of regulatory measures modifying the microscopic design of the market. Succeeding in this modelling task will require to address several intricate statistical problems. In particular new results will be needed in the fields of limit theory for semi-martingales, multifractal processes, rough stochastic differential equations, Hawkes processes and high-dimensional statistics. Hence, through this project, we not only have the hope to provide groundbreaking tools for worldwide regulation of financial markets but, concurrently, to answer important and challenging mathematical problems. In term of analyzing concrete regulatory measures, particular attention will be devoted to the issue of the choice of a proper tick value, that is the minimal price increment allowed on a financial market. Indeed, the tick value is the tool which seems to be favored by most policy makers in order to regulate high frequency trading.

The Automotive HMI (Human Machine Interface) will soon undergo dramatic changes, with large plastic dashboards moving from the ‘push-buttons’ era to the ‘tactile’ era. User demand for aesthetically pleasing and seamless interfaces is ever increasing, with touch sensitive interfaces now commonplace. However, these touch interfaces come at the cost of haptic feedback, which raises concerns regarding the safety of eyeless interact ion during driving. The HAPPINESS project intends to address these concerns through technological solutions, introducing new capabilities for haptic feedback on these interfaces. The main goal of the HAPPINESS project is to develop a smart conformable surface able to offer different tactile sensations via the development of a Haptic Thin and Organic Large Area Electronic technology (TOLAE), integrating sensing and feedback capabilities, focusing on user requirements and ergonomic designs. To this aim, by gathering all the value chain actors (materials, technology manufacturing, OEM integrator) for application within the automotive market, the HAPPINESS project will offer a new haptic Human-Machine Interface technology, integrating touch sensing and disruptive feedback capabilities directly into an automotive dashboard. Based on the consortium skills, the HAPPINESS project will demonstrate the integration of Electro-Active Polymers (EAP) in a matrix of mechanical actuators on plastic foils. The objectives are to fabricate these actuators with large area and cost effective printing technologies and to integrate them through plastic molding injection into a small-scale dashboard prototype. We will design, implement and evaluate new approaches to Human-Computer Interaction on a fully functional prototype that combines in packaging both sensors and actuator foils, driven by custom electronics, and accessible to end-users via software libraries, allowing for the reproduction of common and accepted sensations such as Roughness, Vibration and Relief.

The ability to selectively alter the energies of specific molecular vibrations has enormous consequences for chemical reactivity. Very recently, the groups of Ebbesen (physical chemistry) and Moran (organic chemistry and catalysis) showed that the rates of simple ground state reactions of organic molecules can be modified through Vibrational Strong Coupling (VSC) of a vibrational mode involved in the transition state of the reaction. However, most aspects of the application of VSC to chemical reactions are still in their infancy and many questions remain. The aim of this proposal is to explore how VSC can be used to modulate the selectivity of simple organic reactions, to understand which functional groups and reaction mechanisms are most susceptible to VSC, as well as to explore the effect of VSC on catalysts and catalytic reactions.

The project aims at scaling up high performance, competitive and new green Water Based Inks, which are dissolved in water and eliminate organic solvents, leading consequently to a reduction of inks carbon footprint and toxicity. First trials in SME phase I have proven the ECO-INK inks have high quality performances and enable the production of the polished gres porcelain tiles at an affordable and competitive pricing, suitable for the medium-high level market. Metco srl will bring the ECO-INK Water Based Inks to a ready to market status, by: A) enlarging the gamut of the magenta, cyan and yellow colours (already formulated); B) developing a new printing head and its waveform, suitable for our inks; C) manufacturing the “demo” polished gres porcelain tiles in real production scenario with a selected number of clients and proving their high quality and aesthetics; D) planning and initiating the market commercialization strategy, for the future market take up of the ECO-INK inks. The estimated investments are of about €1.421.375 and the co-financing required for the SME Phase 2 is of about €994.963. After the Phase 2, the commercialization strategy will start through Metco already existing international sales network (in Italy, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, Russia, Korea, China, Brazil, India) by 1st offering the new ECO-INK solution to Metco consolidated portfolio of clients, then reaching new customers in the ceramics sector manufacturing. To pave the way for the ECO-INK inks market uptake and exploitation of the inks, Metco will strongly focus also on dissemination & communication, providing constant and detailed information about the activities and the results achieved, through national and trans-national initiatives: i.e. participation in events\fairs, press releases, flyers\brochures and posters, Web Pages on Metco website, videos.

While an ongoing pandemic outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) is having enormous impact on global societies, a quest for effective vaccination becomes of unprecedented importance to save lives and economies globally. Symptomatic flu, another respiratory RNA viral infection, affects ~10% of global population every year and leads to regular pandemic outbreaks. Existing prophylactic vaccination requires updates each flu season or pandemic outbreak, and has a strikingly limited efficacy (40% on average, as low as 9% in elderly). This is mainly due to a rapid mutation rate of surface viral proteins that are targeted by the current vaccines. Governments, institutions and vaccine community urgently seek for a universal flu vaccine that would provide a multi-season protection against all seasonal and emerging pandemic viral strains. OSIVAX, a French clinical stage innovative biotech, strives to develop vaccines able to prevent respiratory viral infections across multiple seasons and outbreak. OSIVAX has developed OVX836, a best-in-class, game-changing universal flu vaccine candidate. OVX836 is based on oligoDOM®, a proprietary immune-boosting technology that triggers powerful, targeted and durable immune responses involving activation of specific immune response killing infected cells. OVX836 circumvents the need for annual vaccination updates by targeting an intraviral protein that is highly conserved across all influenza strains. OVX836 has a potential to disrupt the flu vaccine market currently dominated by single-season vaccines. The revolutionary universal flu vaccine is predicted to have a blockbuster potential (>€2.5 billion). OSIVAX’s experienced team aims to get OVX836 ready for the clinical proof-of-efficacy milestone (Phase IIb) that will position the company for >€500M licensing deal with a big pharma in 2024. At the moment, OSIVAX leverages this revolutionary clinical-stage technology to initiate the development of a universal vaccine against corona

The centriole is the largest evolutionary conserved macromolecular structure responsible for building centrosomes and cilia or flagella in many eukaryotes. Centrioles are critical for the proper execution of important biological processes ranging from cell division to cell signaling. Moreover, centriolar defects have been associated to several human pathologies including ciliopathies and cancer. This state of facts emphasizes the importance of understanding centriole biogenesis. The study of centriole formation is a deep-rooted question, however our current knowledge on its molecular organization at high resolution remains fragmented and limited. In particular, exquisite details of the overall molecular architecture of the human centriole and in particular of its central core region are lacking to understand the basis of centriole organization and function. Resolving this important question represents a challenge that needs to be undertaken and will undoubtedly lead to groundbreaking advances. Another important question to tackle next is to develop innovative methods to enable the nanometric molecular mapping of centriolar proteins within distinct architectural elements of the centriole. This missing information will be key to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind centriolar organization. This research proposal aims at building a cartography of the human centriole by elucidating its molecular composition and architecture. To this end, we will combine the use of innovative and multidisciplinary techniques encompassing spatial proteomics, cryo-electron tomography, state-of-the-art microscopy and in vitro assays and to achieve a comprehensive molecular and structural view of the human centriole. All together, we expect that these advances will help understand basic principles underlying centriole and cilia formation as well as might have further relevance for human health.
