The main objective of HIPERMAT is the empowering of future low carbon technologies with new materials and components by their enhanced environmental impact reduction across the value chain. At least two new bulk refractory stainless steels, a high entropy alloy and a ceramic coating will be developed through advanced modelling, hidrosolification, LMD and ceramic coatings in new beam and ring prototypes with embedded sensors in a hot stamping furnace. This objective will be achieved by setting a strong basis gathering all manufacturing conditions across the value chain: from the manufacturing of main components (beams and rings) by sand casting and centrifugal casting, the engineering in the furnace construction and the final use of the equipment in hot stamping companies.These data will be used to develop the strategies for materials selection, embedded sensors development, environmental continuous assessment, advanced modelling, data capture and main tests to be performed for material and component validation. After this, materials will be tested for high temperature performance properties such as thermal fatigue, creep, crack growth rate and wear/corrosion. In parallel, new manufacturing technologies such as hidrosolidification, LMD and ceramic coatings will be developed and tested in component like geometries towards an easier and faster approach to final solutions. All these activities will be supported by advanced modelling architecture based on a combination of thermodynamic, thermokinetics, fluids dynamics, heat interchange and metal solidification physics together with model predictive control tools based on in artificial intelligence. The combined effect of material and technologies will be finally tested in component like geometries and, once validated, transferred to prototype components represented by beams and rings that will be integrated in a real furnace together with embedded sensors for continuous monitoring and comparison with standard components.

The overall objective of the SOLARGE45 project is to accelerate the market introduction of a new Concentration PhotoVoltaic (CPV) technology, called the MF45 System, which yields the highest efficiency all year round, without giving up simplicity, and therefore enables the lowest manufacturing costs. The MF45 System will be capable to convert the equivalent of 45% of the direct sun light into clean electricity at costs equivalent to those of conventional sources (CO2 intensive). This represents conversion efficiency increases of 30% and 60% relative to other commercial CPV systems and FP systems, respectively. As result of the SOLARGE45 project, LPI aims to become a worldwide reference manufacturer and supplier of a novel CPV System able to generate profits in large-scale utility solar plants, and without the support of government policies backing up clean electricity. This will bring a positive impact in the challenge stressed in the 'Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy' Work Programme: low-cost, low carbon electricity supply. Through the Phase 1 of the SME Instrument LPI will be able to assess the industrial and commercial feasibility of the business innovation project proposed for introducing the MF45 System into the market. The specific objectives that must be achieved in the course of the Feasibility Study are the following: - To define the MF45 System specifications needed to assure long-term-performance under real operation conditions to guarantee product bankability and standard certification - To assess different product-development and industrial process pilot plant alternatives with optimal quality within cost and reliability balance - To identify the specific operational and financial resources and/or partners to cover the whole MF45 System manufacturing and commercialisation - To assess the feasibility of the preliminary Market Strategy and Commercialisation Plan, by an in-depth study of the MF45 System market size and barriers.

Donor human milk banks are expanding around the world at an exponential rate, which is directly linked to global increases in premature births. The importance of human milk for prematurely born infants has been extensively identified, even among the recent social scientific work that has questioned the efficacy of human milk and health considerations. In addition, research also shows that a significant percentage of these mothers, at least initially, experience lactation problems. Europe is taking a leadership role in expansion of human milk banks, although issues associated with alcohol consumption and maternal donations are a concern for clinicians and health care staff, given the increasing problems associated with drinking among women of childbearing age. Europe with the highest alcohol per capita consumption rates in the world, makes these issues particularly immediate. The United Kingdom (UK) with its long history and current global leadership role is an ideal place to study these considerations which will inform these larger issues of human milk for the prematurely born infant. A leader in this century old intervention, supporting not only one of the oldest hospital based banks in Europe, but also an important cross-border collaborations on the island of Ireland, along with a research based national bank in Scotland, each representing different cases contributing significantly to the re-birth of the medical control of human milk. The UK is poised to offer the world vital information regarding donor human milk banking, maternal bodies and ‘trust’, an important sociological social theoretical concept which will be used to frame the triangulated data collected for this project (including interviews, archival data, and ethnographic information). Supporting an excellent experienced female researcher to return to the academy following a maternity/career break, this project directly supports women and science in society. MUIMME is an old Irish word for wet-nurse.

As wind energy is considered one of the most promising renewable energy resources, energy production technologies relying on wind energy are currently flourishing under the EU ambitious plan for 2020. Market demands to prepare a generation of researchers within the EU that are able to face the challenge of fulfilling the EU ambitious plan, to sustain the production of wind energy and to innovate and promote wind energy systems (WES) for the future needs, are clearly met in AEOLUS4FUTURE. The primary research aim is to develop a sustainable WES for a variety of EU needs. There are a number of detailed scientific and technical issues that will be addressed by the project starting from identifying the wind energy potential (off-shore and on-shore, including the built environment) to the design of a sustainable and highly efficient WES. Also the new challenging load conditions imposed on wind farms located on places where existing type of wind turbine towers are not suitable require the development of new type of support structures for wind energy converters. This fosters new structural concepts taking advantage of high performance materials e.g. high strength steel and novel maintenance free fasteners. In addition, while most research efforts and practical applications of wind energy have focused on large-scale wind installations in remote offshore or onshore areas, much less attention has been given to wind energy installations near buildings. The project has a major training aim to create technical experts who will be able to lead the necessary industrial developments in the WES, and have a broad overview of a new and emerging multi-disciplinary field. The project will thus enable a number of young scientists and engineers to obtain high level training in various technical aspects of the problem, to gain an overall understanding of how this work fits into the wider EU Directives and plans for the future and in doing so to improve their career prospects.

Founded in 1994 in the province of Brescia, Italy, we, ALPHA-PROGETTI offer our customers in the sectors of industrial automation customized industrial machinery design and development as well as services in the field of new product development, business development and commercialization. Thanks to our 20 years’ experience and on-going development works, we have devised a promising business opportunity in the field of industrial robotics machinery for SMEs that outperforms current limitations. SINNOTECH, is a young technological start-up born in 2008 devoted to the development of automated industrial solutions based on innovative kinematic approaches to solve the problem of the dynamic control of industrial robotic systems, where they hold a number of international patents in the field of Multi- polar Parallel Kinematic (MPK) robotics. Our partnership has led us to SPARK, a new technology to build a full portfolio of cost-effective (25% cost reduction per axis, 30% cost reduction maintenance/processing and production) industrial robotic systems and enhanced productivity (20% productivity increase). Our technology shows improved dynamic behaviour (accurate smooth motion at high G, inertia momentum reduction, reactivity, which translate in excellent metrics, being our goal: accuracy <0,018 mm, repeatability <0,01mm, position velocity up to 6 m/s, and acceleration up to 6G. An important fact is that our solution is specifically designed for SMEs, as we pretend to license our technology in exchange for royalties to SMEs in the automotive, electronics and metal sectors, starting with MPK Fiber-LASE Industrial Cutting Systems, to gradually enhanced our portfolio to other types of torch (plasma, water) and other types of machines (welding, engraving, painting) that share same background technology. With a potential turnover of circa €16M within 3 years, SPARK will allow us to substantially increase our finance figures (current turnover about €2M).

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare, disabling and life-shortening congenital syndrome for which no effective therapies exist. Repurposing of AZD0530 (saracatinib, AstraZeneca) would be an ideal solution for de-risking early clinical studies. Using existing assets and investments, this may allow more affordable pricing once an indication is approved. Ectopic bone is formed in soft tissues due to activating mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor kinase ALK2/ACVR1, leading to progressive contractures and early death. Preclinical studies showed AZD0530, previously unexplored in FOP, to be a potent (5nM) inhibitor of ALK2 kinase and ALK2-R206H-mediated neofunction after activin stimulation. In mice, AZD0530 blocked ectopic bone formation preserving limb movement. Hypothesis: AZD0530 will reduce ectopic bone formation and progressive disability in people with FOP. AIM: to provide proof of concept that AZD0530 is an effective drug in the treatment of patients with FOP. Methods: Based on the rarity of the disease and expected drug efficacy (50% reduction in new bone), a phase 2A proof of concept study including a 6 month randomized placebo controlled study and 12 month open label extension study using historical data, is proposed including 16 adults with active FOP disease. The study will be performed in three European FOP expert Centers (Amsterdam The Netherlands – Lead, London UK, and Garmen Partenkirchen Germany). The study will be performed in collaboration with the expert preclinical teams at the Universities of Oxford and Harvard. FOP expert and patient engagement as well as safety will be ensured by establishing advisory, DSM and stakeholder boards. Early involvement of the regulatory agencies are planned. Expectations: we will develop a roadmap for further studies and regulation of this new treatment option in FOP based on the results.

Fundamentalism harms our societies. It consists of a complex set of actions, sentiments, and attitudes that have all sorts of detrimental effects regarding, for example, the education of fundamentalist minorities, the perception of public safety, and the general image of religions. Scholars in fundamentalism studies have developed various models to better understand fundamentalism, such as the Radicalization Model. Increasingly, though, they are dissatisfied with these models, since they are often unable to explain why some individuals turn to fundamentalism while others do not. This project will provide a new normative-theoretical framework that is needed to better understand and assess one of the main reasons for fundamentalist behaviour: fundamentalist beliefs. In order to do this, I combine influential methods in analytic philosophy, like conceptual analysis and reflective equilibrium, with literature reviews of empirical and historical research and normative-theoretical analysis of case studies. The epistemology and ethics of fundamentalism that I develop addresses five questions. First, what makes extreme beliefs fundamentalist beliefs, and how do they relate to other cognitively detrimental phenomena? Second, how does the social environment affect the rationality of fundamentalist beliefs? Third, what obligations regarding their beliefs do fundamentalists violate? Fourth, which circumstances, like indoctrination, excuse people for violating such obligations? Fifth, how does this epistemology and ethics of fundamentalist belief help to better understand and assess fundamentalism? This project breaks new ground in epistemology and ethics by exploring responsibility for extreme beliefs and fundamentalist beliefs in particular. It is also beneficial to the academics fields involved in fundamentalism studies, because those fields are largely based on historical and empirical work rather than conceptual and ethical analysis.

In recent years the global shift to a more sustainable energy system is becoming a reality. Nevertheless, now more than ever it is necessary to make our best efforts in making this transition as fast as possible, because otherwise the consequences could be dreadful for our climate conditions. This change necessarily comes through a full transformation of the energy sector, which must consider the energy in all its shapes. Specifically, it is required the electric sector to be adapted to the foreseen penetration of renewable power generation by means of increasing the grid flexibility, guaranteeing its stability and supply security and making the energy affordable for all citizens. This transformation passes through taking advantage of the local renewable resources and turn the current power generation model into a more decentralized new one. To meet this purpose, the integration of electric storage batteries along the different stage of the power supply chain is crucial. This element plays a key role when it comes to adjust the variability of the generation coming from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy and the end-users demand, which sometimes responds to some given needs and cannot be shifted along the day, and sometimes it can be adapted to the generation profile. In this context, besides the integration of the proper technology into the grids, it is utterly necessary its correct management and thus, the development of suitable tools to balance the different elements integrated in the grid. TALENT aims a wide and cost-effective integration of batteries in the grid that will lead to an increase of the flexibility in the energy system and will be based on new technological developments in: i) scalable and modular power electronics topologies, ii) power electronics devices, iii) high-voltage batteries and iv) interoperable software as a service for energy resources management.
