Singlet fission is a multiple exciton generation process where a singlet exciton splits into two triplet excitons in adjacent chromophore centers, resulting in generation of two electron-hole pair carriers from each absorbed photon. Molecular systems displaying this phenomenon are very desired because they can, for instance, increase the efficiency of solar cells which must possesses both favorable energetics and appropriate electronic coupling. In this context, intramolecular bi-chromophores are particularly interesting in terms of their singlet fission capabilities. Specifically, these donor-acceptor copolymers have both proper electronic structure characteristics and modular molecular architecture. Nonetheless, no rational design principles exist for designing these systems, with the current state-of-the-art being based, primarily, on trial-and-error strategies. Thus, the field is ripe for the insight that can be brought by theoretical work, which has the potential to discover, in silico, new efficient singlet fission compounds. The objective of the D3AiSF project is to combine state-of-the art computational tools with fundamental concepts of quantum chemistry in order to advance the intramolecular singlet fission field through high-throughput screening of efficient donor-acceptor copolymers and quantum dynamics simulations. The project’s first step involves designing an automated workflow capably of screening large numbers of singlet-fission capable donor-acceptor copolymers based on energy and coupling descriptors. Afterwards, a second stage focuses on the singlet-fission performance of the very best potential candidates, which are evaluated in terms of real time quantum dynamics of the nonadiabatic process, which will ultimately validate their relevance. Overall, this project stimulates both data-based theoretical chemistry and the field of intramolecular singlet fission through the computational design and discovery of novel materials.

Current research efforts on 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) strongly focus on mmWave access to realize enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services. However, there are many unsolved issues to deploy mmW ave 5G RAN. The most critical issue is backhauling since it is infeasible to provide 10 Gigabit Ethernet backhaul everywhere. Meanwhile, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) have obtained much attention in 5G networks as a key technology to enable mission-critical (low latency) applications by allocating storage and computation resources at the edge of the network and circumvent the backhaul networks’ limited capacity. However, in the case of mobile networks, it is not easy to reallocate computational resources on demand, while meeting the strict latency constraints foreseen in 5G networks. In this project, mmWave access and MEC are firstly combined as a perfect couple of technologies compensating each other’s weakness. The new system is called mmWave edge cloud (MiEdge) henceforth. To facilitate MiEdge, the second main goal of the project is to develop a new cellular network control plane in which context information (location, traffic, classes of applications, etc.) of users are collected and processed to forecast traffic and users’ requests, in order to enable a proactive resource allocation. This novel control plane is called liquid RAN C-plane, since the services and connections can follow users like a liquid. Lastly, the users or application providers orchestrate MiEdge to create a user/application centric 5G network that supports both eMBB and mission-critical applications. In summary, MiEdge project will develop a feasible 5G ecosystem by combining MiEdge, liquid RAN C-plane, and user/application centric orchestration. The project will contribute to the standardization of mmWave access and liquid RAN C-plane in 3GPP and IEEE. At the end, the project will demonstrate a joint 5G test-bed in the city of Berlin and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Stadium.

Universal Diagnostics (UDX) is a biomedicine start-up focused on early detection of cancer using leading-edge technologies. Our mission is to make cancer a curable disease by detecting it early through an accurate, simple to use, and cost-effective diagnostic kit. During the last 5 years, UDX has been developing a mass spectrometry (MS) based metabolic analysis that allows very cost-effective and accurate detection of metabolic markers in blood, for early detection of different types of cancer. The first product of the company (the one this proposal is all about) is ColonScan: A simple, noninvasive, accurate (AUC 92%) and inexpensive, blood-based screening test to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenomas (precancerous stages), allowing early detection and cancer prevention. ColonScan will be highly accurate, easily scalable worldwide, simple to use, non-invasive and inexpensive; ColonScan presents all characteristics and requirements to be adopted as CRC screening program for average risk population since, our technology can be included routinely in normal blood tests at annual or biannual medical check-ups. Moreover, the metabolomics platform developed in ColonScan project can be applied and upscaled to other types of cancer with no cost increase. CRC is the third most commonly diagnosed and leading cause of cancer death in the world, despite CRC is considered a completely preventable disease. All CRC guidelines recommends regularly (annual or biannual) screening of average risk population (50-85 years old). This represents a huge market opportunity, which according to our conservative estimations means a target population of 380 Million people and 12 Billion market opportunity. The ultimate objective of ColonScan Phase 1 project is to assess the feasibility of our business innovation project, under a commercial, technical and financial point of view to minimize any potential risk that might endanger our business plan.

Cognitive impairment causes decline in cognitive abilities, including memory and thinking skills. It is fast growing, and affects around 450 million people globally. The major causes of cognitive impairment are Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), stroke, ageing, depression, anxiety and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Cognitive rehabilitation is a program to help brain-injured or otherwise cognitively impaired individuals to restore normal functioning, or to compensate for cognitive deficits. Nevertheless, the overall rehabilitation efficacy is surprisingly low (about 5%), even for patients with mild conditions. Multiple studies indicate that this stems from insufficient recruitment of patients’ brain engagement to the therapy. BE Therapy is a revolutionary digital therapeutics platform for personalised and effective neurocognitive rehabilitation. It consists of a wearable EEG device and a patient management system. During cognitive therapy, BE Therapy proprietary algorithms capture real-time brain engagement from EEG data. The patient management platform then autonomously adjusts the therapy to be most effective to the patient, maximizing brain engagement and dramatically improving cognitive therapy efficacy. This personalisation can be tweaked or supervised by an onsite or remote physician. Digitisation of the platform enables to optimise session frequencies and increase availability to serve more patients, thus maximising public health care system resources. Being a home-point-of-care solution, it reduces the costs and time associated with the rehabilitation. During the phase 1 feasibility study, Brainmarc will establish a sound go-to-market strategy and supply chain, and will outline further development plans. In the second phase of the innovation project, Brainmarc will optimize the device and treatment management system, perform clinical validation with European hospitals and rehabilitation centers, and obtain CE mark for market entry.

Linc’s mission is to make effective energy management accessible to all. Our breakthrough energy management solution uses advanced spectral analysis to monitor energy consumption on an appliance-by-appliance basis. Installed at a single point — without needing sensors across the building — it delivers an energy breakdown accuracy of 95%, and has proven savings of up to 34%. Our hardware and software is installed within 30 minutes by any electrician, in any type of residential, commercial, or industrial building - new or old. It is the first and only energy management solution to be delivered as a low cost service (€9/month), with NO upfront costs. It feature built-in controls for building automation and demand response. It is the first energy management system with a fully-integrated microgrid blockchain to trade clean, renewable energy. Linc answers directly to European challenges of boosting energy efficiency and renewable generation by 27% each by 2030 — as is necessary to prevent the dire consequences of global warming exceeding 1.5C. The EU is not on schedule. 75% of European buildings remain inefficient, and are being renovated at a rate of 1% per year - it will take 100 years to retrofit them. Meanwhile, investment in renewables has stagnated with government subsidies being phased out, and utilities left with no incentive to purchase irregular renewable supplies that destabilise their grid networks. Existing Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) are too costly and complex — suitable only for the most energy-intensive buildings; while smart-meters are not very “smart” after all — saving consumers less than 3%. Linc solves this. We seek H2020 funding to study the technical and commercial feasibility of our solution. We have support from major piloting partners across all target segments, and project a revenue potential of €24 million with €11 million in net profit within five years of commercialisation, creating of 104 direct jobs.

Cultural Tourism (CT) plays a crucial role in today’s economies, representing about 37% of the total tourism sector, with an annual growth of around 15%. This role and impact on the economy can be capitalized by certain regions and sites of EU and beyond having a high cultural, social and environmental potential. This impact does not only depend exclusively on the existence of historical-picturesque heritage, but is also related to other synergistic factors such as know-how, ICTs, gastronomy, identity, local culture, values, intangible heritage or other singularities. TExTOUR mobilizes 18 partners, represented in the quintuple social innovation helix (knowledge, business, society, government and entrepreneurs) to co-design, validate and upscale to various levels, policies and strategies with positive impact on the socio-economic territorial development based on cultural tourism. TExTOUR uses ICTs and social innovation tools to work with 8 Cultural Tourism Pilots in less known areas to conceive and design collaborative work methodologies for the development of CT strategies for their sites. Each pilot sets up Labs Communities, composed of a wide range of stakeholders with a relevant role in the development of CT sector. The stakeholders are guided through the Cultural Tourism-Labs for the implementation, monitoring and validation of the CT ad hoc strategies. The project develops procedures services and tools and carries out activities, proposed in the methodology. Their results are used to prepare a modular and scalable EU Action Plan for Cultural Tourism Development. In parallel, a technological platform is designed and tested to assess CT policies and strategies envisaged by public and private stakeholders. It provides data analytics as a service, together with a catalogue of relevant services representing the assessed CT strategies, and proper content curation and validation processes, apart from assessing the implemented practices and its related impacts.

The REBECCA proposal aspires to tap into the potential of Real-world Data (RWD) for supporting groundbreaking clinical research on complex chronic conditions (CCC) as a complement to Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT). REBECCA moves beyond the analysis of Electronic health records (EHR), by combining it with detailed monitoring data from multiple wearable, online behaviour and registry data to monitor patients’ functional, emotional and Quality of Life trajectories, with high temporal granularity. REBECCA also proposes explainable causal modelling combined with deep learning to account for observed and latent confounders in RWD analysis. The project will focus on the complex array of chronic comorbidities developed during breast cancer recovery, in particular studying the impact of primary and adjuvant cancer treatment on patients’ quality of life and assessing the value of detailed patient monitoring as a means for improved patient care, but will also demonstrate the extensibility of REBECCA to other forms of cancer. To this end, a total of seven studies in Sweden, Norway and Spain will produce new knowledge on clinical management of cancer patients that will shape future guidelines and practices for post-cancer treatments. Best practices resulting from the REBECCA studies will be disseminated to researchers, public health and regulatory bodies throughout Europe to facilitate wider adoption of RWD in clinical research. In addition, the REBECCA platform, capable of detailed monitoring and privacy-preserving federated cross-country data analysis, will provide an infrastructure for continued progress on use of RWD beyond the end of the project. Through these activities, REBECCA aims at the mass adoption of RWD for understanding CCCs and ultimately at establishing RWD as a valuable clinical research and patient management tool.

The use of GNSS in space applications enables the main following applications: (a) navigation in space, (b) timing determination (c) precise orbit determination (d) attitude determination. Most of future space missions (LEO, MEO, GEO/IGSO orbits, interplanetary missions and launchers) are considering to adopt GNSS as baseline requirements for orbit determination or vehicle position and time estimation in space. In parallel, cost/size reduction, flexibility and the need to increase security are key requirements to sustain the evolution of the satellite business towards mega constellations and small satellites. ENSPACE (Enhanced Navigation in Space) captures this needs developing an innovative software application for enhanced space navigation, positioning and time. The aim is to: (a) become a reference product for low cost, secure and flexible space navigation, positioning and time, and (b) enable existing high grade space applications to enhance GNSS security. ENSPACE has the advantage to be multi application and multi mission, low cost, secure and robust, fully Software. The use of Galileo, and particularly the features of authentication, guarantees highly accurate positioning and robust navigation, not feasible so far with current GNSS. ENSPACE will be the future concept of space navigation and will test all possibilities of Galileo beyond the limits of the original service design.

In the last decade, the aircraft industry has been facing fundamental maintenance dilemmas: - Maintenance expertise is missing in more than 21’000 airports worldwide whereas the number of commercial aircrafts on duty is inexorably growing - Aircraft On Ground (AoG) for structural maintenance is a persisting financial burden : it costs 120 000€ per day to airline companies - Today structural repair on AoG is unavoidably lengthy (up to several weeks) because the MRO operator has not been trained to specific non-recurring operations and does not have the proper maintenance equipment in hand. The level of maintenance skills onsite needs to increase dramatically, and rapidly, otherwise the aircraft industry can expect a huge economic loss due to inappropriate structural maintenance on AoG. The issue will be unprecedented in Europe, where 21.5% of the future maintenance workforce will be operating by 2030 (+130,000 technicians), in great need for expert assistance and training. In this context, SUNAERO, the world leader in rapid aircraft repair technologies, has launched the project WISE. WISE is a new approach to remote and real-time aircraft maintenance that combines assistance, training and equipment leasing services in a single offer to MRO organizations. It will become possible to connect any airport (line maintenance) or MRO site to a remote maintenance expert, whenever needed. The WISE experts will be able to guide a repair until it is fixed a few hours later (6 hours on average). The WISE assistance will be certifying and disseminate greener and smarter aircraft maintenance best practices. A new business model will be implemented for the benefit of the user. The feasibility of the WISE concept was completed in 2015, with the support of a SMEI Phase 1 grant. The Phase 2 project will demonstrate and scale-up the WISE approach to bring expert assistance to the airports (on the wing service), wherever located (hubs, airports in urban areas, isolated airports).
