In industrial and service sectors, energy efficiency investments are often not implemented due to combination of factors and barriers faced by the actor involved. Even for enterprises that are subject to mandatory audits, the recommendations are often not implemented due to those factors and barriers. The IMPAWATT project aims creating a staff trainings and capacity building programmes to enhance corporate policy towards energy efficiency, energy culture and sustainable supply-chain initiatives. All actors will be targeted. This program will be developed as an online toolbox with resources for capacity building and staff training. The toolbox targets in priority the energy manager of the company. He will use it for its own training but also as a resource for training the other actors of the company. For small companies without energy manager, the auditor can take the role of the energy manager and organise trainings for company staff. The resources will be available in several formats as for example webinars, factsheets and energy efficiency measures database. The platform will also allow companies to exchange energy efficiency related experiences and to benchmark their energy efficiency. Finally, the platform will also give access to an energy monitoring portal where companies can enter and follow their main energy consumptions and energy efficiency measures.

With modern data demands and computational burdens rapidly expanding, technology must quickly move beyond the traditional von Neumann architecture that has driven computational advances since the 20th century. Taking its inspiration from the remarkable plasticity and power efficiency of the human brain, neuromorphic computing offers a promising approach to overcome the fundamental limitations imposed by the von Neumann architecture and the imminent demise of Moore’s Law. One notable formulation of neuromorphic hardware relies on analog memory elements called memristors (resistive switching devices). While resistive switching is a well-known phenomenon, its implementation in neuromorphic computing currently suffers from several serious issues, including significant device-to-device variations, binary (as opposed to analog) switching and cycle-to-cycle variability. In COFFEE (Controlling and Observing Filaments For Enhanced memristive Elements), we seek to overcome these shortcomings by studying the fundamental materials physics of conductive filaments as well as through iterative and targeted device optimization efforts. We will utilize novel experimental techniques, including in operando transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning thermal microscopy (SThM), to visualize the formation and behavior of conductive filaments in practical devices. Insights gained from filament visualization experiments will be used to modify device design through geometric, chemical, and electrode engineering in the hopes of improving device performance. Improved memristors will be used for the fabrication of cross-bar arrays to perform benchmark computational tasks in neural network hardware and for neural network simulations. Through the study of conductive filaments and targeted engineering efforts, the performance of filamentary memristors can likely be dramatically improved and their implementation in viable neuromorphic technologies can move closer to reality.

What were the communication systems of ancient societies without writing? Is it possible to use the decorations and symbols painted on the vases like a new Rosetta Stone? Is it possible to reconstruct the language of archaic communities that have disappeared? Objects convey ideas, memories and messages, and the ceramic decorations are certainly one of these vectors, of conservation but also dissemination of identity and cultural messages. Although it has all the potential to represent a privileged means of knowledge, most of its meanings still elude us. The objective of project SandMan (Shapes and Meaning) is to understand the ways of communication between the archaic communities of southern Italy, free of conventional forms of writing, between the end of Iron Age and the Archaic Period (mid-7th/mid-5th cent. BC). To achieve this goal, the project will use three different approaches: semiotic, archaeometric, and typological. The research aims to conduct a holistic, thus innovative, study of the symbols of ceramics in order to understand the meanings of this symbolic "lexicon", better understand how they were important for gender identification/distinction, how they were used as a way to communicate and how that knowledge was passed on to others. SandMan also proposes a systematic study of the matt-painted vases of southern Italy (to create a precise and reliable typology) and a chemical-physical analyzes, will investigate the fabric of vases with matt-painted decorations for to create a reference database of local workshops. In general, the studies have always focused on Greek (or Greek-colonial) objects present in the indigenous contexts, relegating the discovery of indigenous ceramics to a secondary position. This research, instead, using a post-colonial approach, will shift the perspective onto the indigenous material culture, for the understanding of certain bidirectional dynamics of exchange and acculturation between Locals and the "Others".

Particle accelerators are a key asset of the European Research Area. Their use spans from the large installations devoted to fundamental science to a wealth of facilities providing X-ray or neutron beams to a wide range of scientific disciplines. Beyond scientific laboratories, their use in medicine and industry is rapidly growing. Notwithstanding their high level of maturity, particle accelerators are now facing critical challenges related to the size and performance of the facilities envisaged for the next step of particle physics research, to the increasing demands to accelerators for applied science, and to the specific needs of societal applications. In this crucial moment for accelerator evolution, I.FAST aims at enhancing innovation in and from accelerator-based Research Infrastructures (RI) by developing innovative breakthrough technologies common to multiple accelerator platforms, and by defining strategic roadmaps for future developments. I.FAST will focus the technological R&D on long-term sustainability of accelerator-based research, with the goal of developing more performant and affordable technologies, and of reducing power consumption and impact of accelerator facilities, thus paving the way to a sustainable next-generation of accelerators. By involving industry as a co-innovation partner via the 17 industrial companies in the Consortium, 12 of which SME’s, I.FASTwill generate and maintain an innovation ecosystem around the accelerator-based RIs that will sustain the long-term evolution of accelerator technologies in Europe. To achieve its goals, I.FAST will explore new alternative accelerator concepts and promote advanced prototyping of key technologies. These include, among others, techniques to increase brightness and reduce dimensions of synchrotron light sources, advanced superconducting technologies to produce higher fields with lower consumption, and strategies and technologies to improve energy efficiency.

The Internet is made up of dozens of thousands of smaller networks, called Autonomous Systems (ASes), ranging from multinational corporations to small businesses and schools, e.g., Google, Deutsche Telekom, AT&T, and Hebrew U. Routing between ASes is handled by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is the glue that holds the Internet together. Alarmingly, despite the Internet's critical societal and economic role, BGP routing is dangerously vulnerable to configuration errors and attacks, and, consequently, every year or so a major Internet outage makes the news. To remedy BGP’s many security vulnerabilities, researchers and practitioners have invested much effort into designing security solutions for BGP routing. Yet, despite over a decade of Herculean efforts, many technological, political, and economic hurdles hinder, and possibly even prevent, deployment. I argue that the reasons for this are deeply rooted in today’s centralized, top-down, hierarchical paradigm for securing Internet routing. The aim of the planned research project is to put forth and explore a radically new paradigm for securing routing on the Internet. The proposed alternative roadmap for securing the Internet consists of two steps: 1) Jumpstarting BGP security: A novel approach to routing security that bypasses the obstacles facing today’s agenda. Specifically, the proposed design will be flat, decentralized, fully automated, avoid dependency on a single root-of-trust, and not require modifying/replacing legacy BGP routers. 2) A long-term vision for Internet routing: Leveraging the vast computational resources in modern datacenters, and research on Secure Multi-Party Computation, to outsource routing to a small number of entities while retaining flexibility, autonomy and privacy. I believe that, put together, these can lead to a more secure Internet in the short-run, and outline a promising, yet uncharted, new direction for the future of Internet routing.

Despite their many successes and great computational power and speed, why are machines still so blatantly outperformed by humans in uncertain environments that require flexible sensorimotor behavior like playing football or navigating a disaster zone? Answering this question requires understanding the mathematical principles of biological sensorimotor control and learning. Over the recent years Bayes-optimal actor models have widely become the gold standard in the mathematical understanding of sensorimotor processing in well-controlled laboratory tasks. However, these models quickly become intractable for real-world problems because they ignore the computational effort required to search for the Bayes-optimum. What is therefore needed is a framework of sensorimotor processing that takes the limited information-processing capacity of bounded rational actors into account and that explains their robust real-world performance. It is the aim of BRISC to establish such a framework by drawing out theoretical predictions and gathering experimental evidence in human motor control, in particular to understand (i) how single bounded rational actors deviate from Bayes-optimal behavior in motor tasks, (ii) how multiple bounded rational actors organize themselves to solve motor tasks that no individual can solve by themselves and (iii) how this drives the emergence of hierarchical control structures that simultaneously process multiple degrees of abstraction at different time scales. Understanding how abstract concepts are formed autonomously from the sensorimotor stream based on resource allocation principles will establish an essential missing link between high-level symbolic and low-level perceptual processing. These advances will provide a decisive step towards a framework for robust and flexible sensorimotor processing, which is not only essential for understanding the fundamental principles of intelligent behavior, but it is also of potentially great technological value.

The presence of a supermassive black hole (BH) in almost all galaxies in the Universe is an accepted paradigm in astronomy. How these BHs form and how they co-evolve with the host galaxy is one of the most intriguing unanswered problems in modern Cosmology and of extreme relevance to understand the issue of galaxy formation. Clustering measurements can powerfully test theoretical model predictions of BH triggering scenarios and put constraints on the typical environment where AGN live in, through the connection with their host dark matter halos. This project wants to probe the clustering properties of X-ray AGN from both an observational and theoretical point of view, using the new catalog of AGN detected by Chandra in COSMOS and semiempirical models. The Chandra COSMOS-Legacy (CCL) catalog is the largest available sample of X-ray AGN for clustering studies, allowing clustering measurements as a function of obscuration, luminosity and AGN host galaxy properties for the first time up to z~3-4 and with the accuracy needed to model the AGN halo occupation. We also propose to generate mock catalogs of galaxies and BHs assigned via semi-empirical relations to large samples of dark matter halos. Via detailed comparisons of the predictions from the mocks with the AGN clustering at different scales, redshifts and obscuration cuts, we will set unique constraints on the BH/galaxy properties driving the clustering measurements of CCL AGN, especially of obscured sources. This in turn is crucial to understand the AGN/galaxy co-evolution and to test different BH triggering scenarios at different epochs. SNS will constitute for the Applicant an invaluable and unique environment at the European level, where she will achieve extreme competence in both theory and observations. Her profile will become extremely relevant with the advent of large dedicated extra-galactic European missions such as EUCLID, eRosita, Athena.
