The next generation of networked embedded systems (ES) necessitates rapid prototyping and high performance while maintaining key qualities like trustworthiness and safety. However, deployment of safety-critical ES suffers from complex software (SW) toolchains and engineering processes. Moreover, the current trend in autonomous systems relying on Machine Learning (ML) and AI applications in combination with fail-operational requirements renders the Verification and Validation (V&V) of these new systems a challenging endeavor. Prime examples are autonomous driving cars that are prone to various safety/security vulnerabilities. The XANDAR project is built to exactly match the goals defined within the ICT-50 Software Technologies. XANDAR will deliver a mature SW toolchain (from requirements capture down to the actual code integration on target including V&V) fulfilling the needs of the industry for rapid prototyping of interoperable and autonomous ES. Starting from a model-based system architecture, XANDAR will leverage novel automatic model synthesis and software parallelization techniques to achieve specific non-functional requirements setting the foundation for a novel real-time, safety-, and security-by-Construction (X-by-Construction) paradigm. For the first time, XbC-guided code generation for non-deterministic ML/AI applications will be combined with novel runtime monitors to ensure fail-operation in the presence of runtime faults and security exploitations. The project provides a consortium covering the full spectrum of ES and software engineering. XANDAR will be validated by an automotive OEM (BMW) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Leading European SMEs and enterprises such as Vector, AVN, and fentISS as well as successful academic partners will contribute their diverse knowhow in Model-Driven Engineering, Software Systems and V&V, multicore architectures, code generation, and security enforcements from higher-level behavioral models to actual runnables.

People spend 90% of their time indoors. Indoor air quality can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the outside, caused by factors such as the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Volatile Inorganic Compounds (VIC), airborne microorganism (bacteria, virus, mould, fungi, etc.), particulates by furnishings and building materials, poor ventilation and the presence of tobacco smoke or household fuels. Indoor pollution is responsible for 2.7% of the global diseases. In Europe it causes 4.3% of deaths of children aged 0 to 4 years and has a prevalence on asthmatic symptoms of children up to 37% representing a cost of 152-234 M€. Current technologies focus either on air filtration (mechanical removal of contaminant) or air purification (air treatment using specific treatment). Main solutions currently available are: Mechanical filtration, Ionization, Absorption and Ozone generation. But those technologies are either high energy consuming and noisy, have a limited range of contaminant removal, produce residues or consume chemicals and need usually a heavy installation and maintenance which increase the overall cost of the air treatment service. Our JONIXAirPlasma technology is a unique and complete solution providing both air filtration and purification in a same device which 1) has a high removal rate efficiency (over 95%) on all kind of air contaminants (VOC, VIC, air-born pathogens, odours, etc.), 2) does not produce any residue nor consume any chemicals, 3) is instantaneously installed (stand-alone device) and has convenient maintenance, 4) is logical and Intuitive thanks to its touch screen and App with remote control with cloud-based software. JONIX is an experienced SME, created in 2014 with an annual turnover of 341K€ turnover and 3 full time employees. We have already sold worldwide over 1,000 of our star product: the CUBE.

One can attach certain complex analytic functions to algebraic varieties defined over the rational numbers, called Zeta functions. They are a vast generalization of Riemann’s zeta function. The Hasse-Weil conjecture predicts that these Zeta functions satisfy a functional equation and admit a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. This follows from the conjectural Langlands program, which aims in particular at proving that Zeta functions of algebraic varieties are products of automorphic L-functions. Automorphic forms belong to the representation theory of reductive groups but certain automorphic forms actually appear in the cohomology of locally symmetric spaces, and in particular the cohomology of automorphic vector bundles over Shimura varieties. This is a bridge towards arithmetic geometry. There has been tremendous activity in this subject and the Hasse-Weil conjecture is known for proper smooth algebraic varieties over totally real number fields with regular Hodge numbers. This covers in particular the case of genus one curves. Nevertheless, lots of basic examples fail to have this regularity property : higher genus curves, Artin motives... The project HiCoShiVa is focused on this irregular situation. On the Shimura Variety side we will have to deal with higher cohomology groups and torsion. The main innovation of the project is to construct p-adic variations of the coherent cohomology. We are able to consider higher coherent cohomology classes, while previous works in this area have been concerned with degree 0 cohomology. The applications will be the construction of automorphic Galois representations, the modularity of irregular motives and new cases of the Hasse-Weil conjecture, and the construction of p-adic L-functions.

Europe is vulnerable to climate extremes and climate change, making predictions valuable to political and economic stakeholders. The European winter climate depends a lot on sea level pressure differences between Iceland and the Azores, described by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Thus, many modelling centres working on predictions, focus on improving NAO predictions. Recent studies find the NAO could be highly predictable, much higher than suggested by individual models - calling for a better process understanding to improve models and predictions. The major source of our ability to make predictions for years and beyond are slow ocean processes, e.g. linked to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Both, AMOC and NAO are considered key for North Atlantic decadal variability and predictability. They interact, especially via the NAO driving AMOC, but also vice versa. Consequently, prediction skill is reduced by uncertainties in the NAO-AMOC relationship, but also by severe mean state biases common among models. As of yet, not much effort has been made to understand skill difference across models - motivating the proposed research: The overarching research objective is to understand the causes for inter-model differences in interannual-to-decadal prediction skill - with a focus on the role of the model-dependent NAO-AMOC relationship and mean state biases. Specific objectives are to: (i) identify model differences in the NAO-AMOC interaction and their effect on differences of the potential to predict the North Atlantic; (ii) assess the role of mean state biases for model differences; (iii) link these findings with North Atlantic forecast skill. The proposed research comprises: the novel idea to relate predictability to model biases via NAO-AMOC interaction; and the innovative approach to link findings from long, uninitialised simulations to initialised predictions, enabling new insights valuable to the climate modelling and prediction community.

Wild relatives of domesticated plants have long been recognized as important sources of beneficial traits for crop improvement. Having diverged millions of years ago from the domesticate, they have evolved adaptations to more diverse habitats, potentially representing a much wider genetic diversity than could be captured by intraspecific diversity in a crop and its direct wild progenitor. However, concomitant sequence and karyotype divergence have made crop-wild relatives inaccessible to the cross-and-select cycles of traditional breeding. Thus, the main obstacles to transferring beneficial traits from wild relatives have been the lack of effective methods for gene isolation and fertility barriers. The technological breakthroughs in high-throughput sequencing, genome mapping and genotyping have brought to wild species a full-fledged toolkit for linking genotype and phenotype, namely quantitative trait locus mapping and genome scans in natural population. At the same time, new biotechnological approaches have obliterated the need for overcoming crossing barriers: discrete genetic factors controlling adaptive traits can be isolated in the wild relatives and then transferred into the domesticate by gene editing. Exploiting these innovations, this project aims at understanding speciation and edaphic adaptation in three closely related wild relative of barley from South America. We will elucidate the genetic basis of salt tolerance and transfer it into the domesticate. Our specific aims are to (i) develop a genomics toolbox for a complex of three Hordeum species from Patagonia; (ii) understand the interplay of speciation, adaptation and patterns of sequence diversity by population genomic analyses; and (iii) isolate genes involved in adaptation to saline soils and transform them into domesticated barley.

The terrorism timeline consists of multiple stages. Each stage possesses vulnerabilities that can be used to disrupt a planned attack. Due to the large diversity in precursors, there is no universal approach yet that can be taken to keep a terrorist from using them to make explosives. INHERIT proposes to develop a multi-disciplined approach to intervene across multiple stages of the terrorism timeline. INHERIT has assembled a multi-faceted team with experience of all aspects of four important steps in this timeline. With a focus on explosive precursor chemicals, the team will work to develop technologies directed towards thwarting the ability of terrorists to exploit these materials for production of explosives. Methodologies to render chemicals inert, more readily detectable and capable of yielding greater forensic value will all be pursued. Collaboration between the diverse teams developing these interventions will ensure a coordinated holistic approach across all threat materials identified. This holistic approach will also be applicable in the struggle against emerging and future HME threats. The knowledge and insight resulting from INHERIT testing and analysis will be fed to targeted authorities, legislators, and organisations through a dissemination process which will include meetings, workshops and conferences conducted at appropriate security levels.

InteGrid’s vision is to bridge the gap between citizens, technology and the other players of the energy system. The project will demonstrate how DSOs may enable all stakeholders to actively participate in the energy market and distribution grid management and develop and implement new business models, making use of new data management and consumer involvement approaches. Moreover, the consortium will demonstrate scalable and replicable solutions in an integrated environment that enables DSOs to plan and operate the network with a high share of DRES in a stable, secure and economic way, using flexibility inherently offered by specific technologies and by interaction with different stakeholders. To achieve these objectives, a complementary partnership covering the distribution system value chain has been established. The consortium includes three DSOs from different countries and their retailers, innovative ICT companies and equipment manufacturers as well as customers, a start-up in the area of community engagement and excellent R&D institutions. InteGrid’s concepts and approaches are based on the these two elements: 1. the role of the DSO as system optimiser and as market facilitator and 2. the integration of existing demonstration activities in three different regions allowing to move from single solutions to an integrated management at a higher scale while focusing on the scalability and replicability considering current and evolving market (and regulatory) conditions. The three conceptual pillars – proactive operational planning with DER, business models for flexible DER, information exchange between different power system actors – offer an opportunity to maximize the economic, societal and environmental gains from the combined integration of DRES and flexible DER. A market hub platform coupled with smart grid functions and innovative business models will open opportunities for new services and an effective roll-out of emerging technologies in the short-term.

The vision of PROTECT is to discover ways of further advancing the international protection system within today’s turbulent political context. As a corollary to fluctuations in political cleavage systems of host countries, states’ policy approaches to international protection are drifting away from the humanitarian norms, objectives and methods provided by the current international law. The international refugee regime risks entering an era of decay because of declining citizen support, increasing party populism, growing government opportunism, and the subsequent scapegoating of international organizations. The United Nations’ Global Compact on Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees, which aim to introduce global governance and burden-sharing systems in the areas of migration and international protection, will have to be implemented in a context of international power relations between advocates of different visions of world order and notions international protection associated with them. In order to assess the challenges and opportunities that the Global Compacts pose, PROTECT will organize its research and dissemination efforts around three dimensions of international protection: (a) rights, (b) governance, and (c) public recognition. PROTECT aims to: (1) develop perspectives to international protection that address the challenges posed by the current politically turbulent context (2) assess the impacts of the Global Compacts on the right to international protection, discovering ways of reconstructing their relationships with the pre-existing legal frames that advance international protection (3) assess the impacts of the Global Compacts on the governance of international protection, discovering the most effective modes of global governance (4) assess the impact of the Global Compacts on the public recognition of the right to international protection, identifying the networks and discourses that hinder or facilitate support to international protection.
