PLANET addresses the challenges of assessing the impact of emerging global trade corridors on the TEN-T network and ensuring effective integration of the European to the Global Network by focusing in two key R&D pillars: • A Geo-economics approach, modelling and specifying the dynamics of new trade routes and its impacts on logistics infrastructure & operations, with specific reference to TEN-T, including peripheral regions and landlocked developing countries; • An EU-Global network enablement through disruptive concepts and technologies (IoT, Blockchain and PI, 5G, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles /automation, hyperloop) which can shape its future and address its shortcomings, aligned to the DTLF concept of a federated network of T&L platforms. PLANET goes beyond strategic transport studies, and ICT for transport research, by rigorously modelling, analysing, demonstrating & assessing their interactions and dynamics thus, providing a more realistic view of the emerging T&L environment. The project employs 3 EU-global real-world corridor Living Labs including sea and rail for intercontinental connection and provides the experimentation environment for designing and exploiting future PI-oriented Integrated Green EU-Global T&L Networks [EGTN]. To facilitate this process, PLANET delivers a Symbiotic Digital Clone for EGTNs, as an open collaborative planning tool for TEN-T Corridor participants, infrastructure planners, and industry/technology strategists. PLANET also delivers an Active Blueprint and Road Map, providing guidance and building public & private actor capacity towards the realisation of EGTNs, and facilitating the development of disadvantaged regions. The project engages major T&L stakeholders, contributing to both strategy and technology and (importantly) has the industry weight and influence to create industry momentum in Federated Logistics and TEN-T’s integration into the Global Network.

Infants reason about their world and social partners in rather sophisticated ways. What underlies this early reasoning capacity? Is it the symbolic representations that support adult abstract combinatorial thought and language? Do infants possess logical operators such as negation and language-like structures such as recursive propositions? This project addresses these questions. In the first line of research, I investigate how infants reason about alternatives. When shown that an alternative is impossible, infants avoid it, pursuing others instead. In Study 1, I ask whether infants’ elimination of alternatives is based on the logical operator negation, which is diagnostic of abstract and symbolic combination in thought. In the second and third lines, I use social contexts to further investigate infant reasoning. Study 2 extends paradigms used to test 1st order attribution of false beliefs about objects. By modifying aspects of the social context, I ask whether infants are able to make 2nd order attributions of false beliefs about beliefs (i.e., she thinks that he thinks…). Importantly, such attributions necessarily take a recursive propositional structure. In Study 3, I ask if social reasoning can be detrimental to infant and even adult logical reasoning. Adults commit reasoning errors and social information (such as inferences about others’ communicative intentions) may give rise to these errors. This study uses communicative and non-communicative contexts to (i) test whether social information gives rise to errors in adults and (ii) determine whether similar errors occur in infancy. Together, these three lines of research illuminate the nature of infant reasoning and its similarity to adult reasoning. Are infants also victim to reasoning errors? Is infant reasoning nevertheless based on symbolic and language-like combinatorial structures? Ultimately, these findings will provide insight into the relationship between infant thought and later language acquisition.

In the aftermath of the recent financial crisis, the European Commission and the Regulatory Authorities have placed significant emphasis on Hybrid Securities as a tool to prevent future bail-outs of banks with taxpayers’ money. The banks have reacted to these requirements and the number as well as the diversity of Hybrid Securities issued is increasing rapidly. For example, the total volume of Conditional Convertible Bonds, known as CoCo Bonds, a type of hybrid security, is expected to reach EUR 200 Billion by the end of 2015. The large majority of financial investors perceive hybrid securities as non-transparent and difficult to risk-manage. For instance, credit ratings from established rating agencies are seen as largely useless for this diverse and very dynamic asset class: • Doubtful quality, moral hazard embedded in the business model of the rating agencies; and • Purely backward-looking, always too late to react on important news and market developments. The Solution TheMarketsTrust is developing a radically new System for Data Management, Valuation, Risk Measurement and Credit Rating of Hybrid Securities. We are combining, in real-time: • Advanced quantitative models applied on market data; and • Algorithmic analysis of news and announcements from the issuers of the securities, the regulatory agencies as well as the financial media. This results in a range of reliable valuation and risk measures, including ratings, for Hybrid Securities, which we deliver through a Public Subscription Service to the global professional investor community. For that project, we are supported by the research team of prof. Wim Schoutens, Leuven University (KUL), Belgium. Professor Schoutens is the leading expert in Europe in the area of valuation and risk measurement of Hybrid Securities. He has co-authored several books on the topic and has worked as an independent advisor to Tier 1 banks as well as to the European Commission.

The main objective of this proposal is to take advantage of the expertise of the host company and the experienced researcher in different fields of ultrashort laser pulses technology, in order to develop new techniques for the measurement of the time-dependent arbitrary polarization of the pulses, simultaneously with their spatiotemporal dependence. It is foreseen that the research will derive into patents, and industry transfer of the products. Within the project, the temporal measurement of pulses in other regions of the spectrum (as near UV, XUV) will also be investigated. The polarization measurement will be based in the measurement of the spectral interferometry between the two polarization components of the pulse, together with a complementary measurement of one component. The spatiotemporal measurement is performed scanning a fibre coupler while also acquiring spectral interferences. It will be investigated the way of combining both techniques to measure the full dependence of vector beams (pulses with arbitrary polarization). In both cases, the expertise of the host in the d-scan technique and industry transfer will be relevant for development of the project. The research will be carried out in excellent infrastructures owned by the host. The experienced researcher will be trained not only in new experimental skills, but also in the process of patenting, project managing, study of market, product development and financial issues. Altogether, it will allow him to boost his career in terms of future opportunities. The host will also benefit from the results of the action and the new products will put the European Photonics Industry in an advantageous position on a global scale in the area of ultrashort laser pulses metrology.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common pediatric cancer, originates in many cases from the malignant transformation of a developing Blymphocyte in the bone marrow. Understanding the mechanisms of B cell maturation and how their perturbation contributes to the onset of this pathology is essential for evolving improved strategies for those patients not responding to current therapies. Importantly, this project aims to discover novel mechanisms of B lymphopoiesis by studying the interplay between SIRT7, a Sirtuin family member critical for genome homeostasis, and PAX5, a transcription factor required for B cell development and to sustain B cell identity. Sirtuins play key roles in the maintenance of genome integrity under stress and their deficiency has been linked to the pathogenesis of cancer. Importantly, SIRT7 is highly expressed in developing lymphocytes yet their role in immune cells and its relationship with leukemia awaits further investigation. With this project, we will define SIRT7-dependent regulatory mechanisms of PAX5 protein turnover, its relationship with PAX5-associated transcriptional programs and how their functional interplay is abnormal in leukemic cells. Because PAX5 is found in haploinsufficiency in most of the cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia of B-cell progenitors, the development of this project is highly significant to the society as it has the potential to generate novel approaches to restore PAX5 protein levels, with important implications for clinical interventions and the cure of this disease.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. It most often gets diagnosed at an advanced stage with a 5-year survival rate as low as 5%. Despite recent advances in development of therapeutics, lack of a comprehensive understanding of the complexity and dynamicity of the tumor microenvironment hinders effective clinical outcome. Tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and subsequent disease progression leading to metastasis as well as resistance to therapeutics. Conventional monolayer culturing of tumor cells fails to recapitulate the essential microenvironmental aspects of native tumors whereas mouse models suffer from limited relevance, high cost and low throughput. A three-dimensional (3D) human in vitro tumor model that faithfully mimics the tumor microenvironment is key to advance the current understanding of biological processes and signaling pathways that govern these complex pathological events. I propose a biomimetic human lung tumor model that allows independent tunability and control of aberrant biochemical and mechanical aspects of the tumor microenvironment to study cellular events that govern tumorigenesis (Objective1), metastasis and drug resistance (Objective2) and patient heterogeneity (Objective3). Following a highly interdisciplinary approach where tissue engineering, material science, medicine and molecular biology converges, the implications of a tunable and biomimetic 3D human tumor model is substantial for the future of precision-medicine and development of patient- specific therapeutic regimens.

An important gap in continued sustainability of fish farming is the lack of a proper understanding on digestive function and aquafeeds utilization. The WiseFeed project will focus on this gap using an integrative approach and considering selected key fish species in culture, the feed composition and feeding protocols. The approach in WiseFeed is based on a collaborative effort for advancing both the fundamental physiological knowledge and practical applicability. WiseFeed will build an integrated network of research groups from the academia and partners in SME and large enterprises where the overall aim is to improve performance and sustainability of aquafeeds for fish production. WiseFeed has the following specific objectives: - Develop model that quantifies digestion, absorption and retention efficiency of selected macro nutrients in key cultured fish species - Develop software package to optimize feeding strategies - Elucidate the role and effects of specific amino acids and dietary supplements for enhancing metabolism, growth and N-retention including effects of elevated temperatures due to climate changes. The research that forms the basis for WifeFeed is funded by on-going national R&D projects that constitute the scientific and technical pillars of the current proposal. The secondments will bring external expertise to each of these R&D projects and coordinate efforts among similar and related activities. The secondments also build the competence of each of the participating researchers The practical benefits of WiseFeed will be improved production yield, reduced feeding cost and reduced N-waste from fish farms. The expected added value will be a faster advance in common objectives by facilitating progress and fulfilment of the R&D objectives for each participant. Furthermore, it is also the aim of WiseFish to establish a consolidated network beyond the framework of this proposal to give response to new challenges of the aquafeed industry.

WHY: 2015 has been named by the United Nations as the International Year of Light (light2015.org). Light has had many obvious benefits for human mankind, but it also poses some relevant threats: the everyday-increasing excess of light thrown by humans to the sky seriously threatens to remove forever one of humanity’s natural wonders, the view of our universe. More importantly, it has also an adverse impact on our environment and economy (energy wasted to the sky costs 2 billion US$ per year in the USA and 6,3 billion € per year in Europe) and on the health of hundreds of species, including pathologies in human beings (e.g., stress, insomnia). Many professional and amateur scientists are already fighting against light pollution. However, it is necessary to increase social awareness about the importance of preserving the darkness of our cities and environment. WHAT: STARS4ALL will create an Light Pollution Initiative (LPI) incubation platform that will allow generating (and maintaining) customizable on-demand domain-focused LPIs (e.g., a light pollution working group in Brussels). The platform will be self-sustainable: it will integrate a crowdfunding tool to obtain funding for the LPIs; it will consider incentives that motivate citizens to participate in LPIs, as well as policies to handle those incentives; and it will provide innovations in data acquisition from sensors deployed by citizens and in games with a purpose. HOW: STARS4ALL will initially deploy 10 LPIs, which will be available by the end of the 1st semester of project execution, and will be operating and creating collective awareness during the rest of the project. At that moment we pave the way the creation of other LPIs by citizens, specially in other disciplines such as Energy Saving, Biodiversity, and Human Health, and will organize open competitions among them.

Several tens of thousands accidents, millions loss due to damaged freight and damaged lorries, and billions of EUR economic loss by traffic congestion resulting from those accidents – a sad and alarming record mainly caused by insufficiently secured freight transportation on Europe’s roads. Therefore the European Commission has passed different norms for load securing – EN 12195-1 to -4 and EN 12640. However, truckers face the problem that there are no adequate means for implementing those norms. Although freight is lashed down by tension belts, it minimally moves during transportation, due to the non-anti-slippery surface of the load bed. This minimal moves lead to the effect that lashing down is during transportation loosened by constant jiggling resulting in insufficiently secured load. Therefore KCN GmbH has developed a novel anti-slippery floor (ASF) for load beds of lorries and trailers. This ASF is by its coating indestructible and by its adhesion and profitability superior to all other ways of load securing. Project output is the ability to produce the current ASF panel prototypes (TRL 7) in a way meeting the identified market requirements, i.e. in homogenous quality at acceptable price to required quantity, by a process innovation. This is to successfully enter key user market of lorries and trailers. Europe’s corresponding high-volume market is valued at EUR 126 bn. for this field of operation, continuously growing. The loadSEC-project is integral part of KCN’s strategy of developing and producing permanently new solutions for different coating applications to make world safer and more efficient.
