Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in industry such as ocean engineering, biomedicine, aerospace and a driven idea for hydrokinetic energy conversion. Strong nonlinear interactions between flow and structures, as well as turbulent flow bring a huge challenge for understanding and dynamics prediction of the FSI systems. Facing with this challenge and the rising motivation of harnessing clean energy from natural fluids, SMARTFLUIDS aims to build a framework of developing Reduced Order Models (ROMs) with low complexity but retaining dominant physics for FSI, which will bring a deep understanding and efficient prediction of FSI. A low-dimensional subspace of the FSI will be extracted using modal analysis through Variational Autoencoders (VAE) based on deep learning (DL) of FSI data. The FSI data will be obtained by performing high-fidelity computational fluids dynamics (CFD) simulations of classic FSI problems. The ROMs are developed by both physics-informed mapping of governing equations onto the low-dimensional subspace and data-driven techniques to deal with nonlinear and unresolved parts of the FSI. Physical constrains are incorporated and sparse measurements of the FSI will be used in building the ROMs. Dynamics and future states of the FSI, hydro- or aerodynamic loads on the structures and structural responses can be predicted based on the ROMs. SMARTFLUIDS will provide an innovative and systematic view of FSI by focusing on a few dominant features and enrich the knowledge of FSI physics by adopting latest DL techniques. The project will bring a novel solution to reduce time and cost of CFD and experiments in predicting FSI dynamics and structural responses for engineering design of pipelines, cables, wind turbines blades, airplane wings and promote the renewable energy development.

COOPERATE overall objective is to develop and pilot the ERA Hub concept based on the vision and success stories developed within the EuroTech Universities Alliance and their R&I ecosystems. The overall approach revolves around co-creation Arenas in which ecosystems and a broader community of quadruple helix actors can interact. The piloting phases of the project’s implementation are expected to test the approach and pave the way for its consolidation and replication phase. The approach follows a mechanism in which leverage is sought to engage a broad range of stakeholders, activate cross-fertilization, facilitate mutual understanding, create intertwining cooperation, and jointly develop innovative ideas for shaping the ERA Hub framework model for further piloting and validation. The intended ERA Hub model builds on lines of action (e.g. access to knowledge and talents) which gather a set of initiatives/projects to animate the actors and stakeholders and operate the ecosystem around common priorities (i.e. strategic multi-annual roadmap) which reflect the mission-based approach. In this framework the key exploitable results include: 1) The ERA Hub model and associated PLAYBOOK, TOOLBOX and PLATFORM with compliance criteria to develop the ERA Hubs network; 2); the Policy Recommendations and content from co-creation activities. The consortium is aware that the outcome of the project is supporting the EC roadmap towards the launch of ERA Hubs as flagship initiative in Europe to boost the ERA, beyond the scope of the project. Tailor made communication, dissemination and exploitation actions will therefore create awareness and engagement within regional ecosystems in EU, building consensus in a close dialogue with EU and national/regional institutions. In particular two large events will be organised in Brussels at mid-term and at the end of the project for consensus building on the project findings and policy recommendations.

Understanding the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of many-body quantum systems is one of the main challenges of the Physics of the 21st century. Despite the complexity of the field, significant steps forward have been achieved thanks to the parallel development of advanced theoretical tools, numerical methods and experimental verifications made with ultracold atoms and ions. In this context, Generalised Hydrodynamics (GHD) represented a fundamental breakthrough which permitted the use of new integrability-based techniques to include previously untreatable experimental effects such as spatial inhomogeneities and temperature gradients. But from this milestone, new questions inevitably arise for which the proposed action stands as a targeted plan of investigation. On the one hand, a known weakness of any hydrodynamic approach is the loss of long-range quantum fluctuations. Although a few attempts to include quantum effects in the formulation of GHD are present, a definitive answer to this problem is still far. On the other hand, the advent of GHD indirectly revived the interest in diffusive models, with the ultimate goal of developing a quantum analogue of the celebrated Macroscopic Fluctuations Theory. In detail, by combining analytical and numerical methods, the proposal aims the fulfilment of three objectives within this landscape, consisting of research and training activities dedicated to i) investigating the quantum corrections of GHD and clarifying the connections among the available theories, aiming at a single description of quantum ballistic transport ii) exploit the developments in quantum ballistic transport to describe currently feasible measures of the correlations of quantum gases out-of-equilibrium iii) connect ballistic to diffusive quantum transport, starting from simple settings. Altogether, these packages represent a fundamental step in the understanding of the emergent hydrodynamic descriptions of non-equilibrium quantum systems.

The vision of MultiModX is that of a multimodal European transport system in which air and rail networks are planned and managed in a coordinated manner to maximise the efficiency, predictability, environmental sustainability and resilience of the door-to-door passenger journey. The goal of MultiModX is to develop a set of innovative multimodal solutions and decision support tools for the coordinated planning and management of multimodal transport networks. MultiModX develops a multimodal modelling and evaluation framework, including a set of key performance areas and indicators, that enable a comprehensive characterisation of the impact of multimodal transport sytems and multimodal solutions for a range of stakeholders. It will improve existing indicators and metrics and complements current frameworks by more meaningful passenger-centric metrics for better measures of significant disruption (e.g., longer delays, missed connections, denied boarding, cancellations). This MultiModX Performance Assessment Solution will support the design, implementation and evaluation of these (and other) multimodal solutions by enabling ex-ante assessment and ex-post monitoring of their impact on a comprehensive set of KPIs. A Schedule Design Solution will enable the coordinated design of air and rail schedules according to expected demand behaviour. The Disruption Management Solution will support decision-makers response to disruptive events in real time in order to minimise the impact on the passengers, profiting from the extension of the A-CDM concept to other transport modes. In order to nurture the conditions for the transfer of the MultiModX Solutions to the subsequent stages of the R&I cycle stakeholders are engaged throughout the full project lifecycle for validation and discussion purposes, as well as disseminating the project outcomes to potential adopters and ensuring that the components developed contain a clear definition of integration and datasets requirements.

Illnesses such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer represent significant public health challenges due to their increasing prevalence, mortality rates, and societal impact. Mitochondrial dysfunction, specifically the dysregulation of mitochondrial fission, is implicated in these diseases. Together with mitochondrial fusion, the mitochondrial fission process, or the division of mitochondria, is essential for maintaining cellular health. The effector protein of mitochondrial fission is the dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1). During cell death, mitochondrial fission is elevated and DRP1 interacts with the key apoptotic proteins BAX and BAK. However, the precise role, regulation, and positioning of DRP1 in mitochondrial fission, especially with regards to BAX and BAK during apoptosis remain unclear. The project SuperCut will unravel the molecular architecture of DRP1 as well as its motion pattern during mitochondrial fission in the context of apoptosis by using advanced super-resolution microscopy techniques. Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) will enable the visualization of the spatial organization of DRP1 and its relation to apoptotic pore formed by BAX and BAK. MINFLUX tracking will provide insights into the spatial dynamics of DRP1 and its adaptors in healthy cells and their interaction with BAX and BAK in apoptotic cells. By elucidating these mechanisms, the project will open new avenues for innovative therapeutic strategies targeting dysfunctional mitochondrial fission. The research for SuperCut will be conducted by me, Dr. Sarah Schweighofer at the Max Perutz Laboratories under the supervision of Prof. Jonas Ries, leveraging cutting-edge microscopy techniques to push the boundaries of our understanding of mitochondrial dynamics in health and disease. This deepening of my super-resolution microscopy expertise will enable me to become an independent multidisciplinary scientist with high impact in the life sciences.

SolMates aims to provide a novel industrial, scalable technology for producing flexible, durable, made-to-measure, two-terminal CIGSe/perovskite multijunction thin-film PV modules. By optimized matching of narrow bandgap CIGS bottom cells on flexible substrates (steel, polyimide and flexible glass) with high bandgap perovskite top cells, a conversion efficiency higher than 30% (1cm²) will be reached. The focus on roll-to-roll compatible large-area high-rate deposition techniques for both layer systems in combination with the development of in-line quality control units for defect detection will lead to a minimized cell-to-module gap and full industrial scale-up after the project ends. SolMates will demonstrate a 100 cm² flexible, lightweight, durable, encapsulated monolithic interconnected tandem thin-film module with more than 25%. Due to a unique serial interconnection the made-to-measure production of highly-efficient PV modules in respect to shape, size and output voltage based on multijunction solar cells will become a reality. The developed technologies boost the power output of flexible thin-film PV, paving the way for the uptake of long awaited applications such as integrated PV. By exploiting already existing surfaces for solar energy generation, land-use conflicts will be minimized and the total costs for PV can be reduced. The involved, innovation driven SMEs will cooperate with the research partners to facilitate a pathway to mass production, low-cost, roll-to-roll fabrication of SoleMates’ PV technology and strenghten the EU PV value chain. The environmental footprint of the technology, which is inherently low for thin film devices with thin, flexible, lightweight substrates and encapsulation, will be carefully assessed with respect to SolMates' recycling strategy. Possible end-use applications will be reviewed and a long-term vision, focusing on the environmental, social and economic benefits of utilising PV in our daily lives will be developed.

The commonly accepted reason for the right to punish is the defence of society, or social defence. However, its meaning in Western criminal justice remains unclear. In an increasingly punitive age, punishments have become harsher, irrespective of the seriousness of the crime. It is therefore necessary to scrutinise the episteme behind punishment. In fact, despite its profound impact on individuals’ lives, the penal system lacks an adequate normative foundation because social defence functions as an implicit paradigm without a clear elaboration. P-AGE’s objective is to analyse the long-term discourse on social defence and its current transnational relevance, with the ultimate goal of understanding how and why punishment came to be perceived as an adequate response to various societal issues. More specifically, P-AGE sheds light on the criminological legal debate on the concept of social defence, a debate that has been largely overlooked in scholarly literature. Social defence was first theorised at the turn of the 20th century within the underexplored field of Positivist Criminology. This concept has persisted until today, due to the post-WWII emergence of the New Social Defence (NSD) movement, an association of criminal law reformers who worked in concert with the United Nations Social Defence Research Institute (UNSDRI), now called the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in shaping current crime policy programmes. P-AGE investigates this historical setting and development in order to understand what social defence means and to make the implicit paradigm of the punitive age explicit. P-AGE’s methodology employs the epistemic community model to identify and analyse the transnational network of actors and ideas that substantiate social defence. The project blends critical criminology, intellectual legal history, and policy analysis to rewrite the history of punitive reason by foregrounding the key concept of social defence.

In the automotive and rail domains, vehicles are entering the era of full automation thanks to wireless sensors and communication systems shifting control functions from the human driver to computers. Railways need to increase functionalities of the existing signalling and automation systems and related design and validation processes therefore providing a more competitive, flexible, real-time, intelligent traffic management and decision support system. Those technological innovation will help Railway to answer his ambition to increase rail traffic with the future ATO and FRMCS. The consortium will study the hybridization of terrestrial and satellite communications networks for railway critical applications. The project will last 30 months and is tailored to define and develop an innovative solution for seamless handover between terrestrial and satellite communication networks, to assess cyber-security risks and propose solutions, to propose innovative architecture for Edge computing and finally to provide a proof of concept of all the bricks developed in the project thanks to an original laboratory testing platform. The S5LECT project will directly contribute to the development of solutions for the use of GOVSATCOM satellite communications in the railway domain. It will also contribute to the development and testing activities to deliver more reliable and robust wireless communication prototypes. This should help to enhance the testing activities and minimize time and efforts to deliver the next generation of adaptable wireless communications for all railway segments.

The increase in the number of oncological diseases is one of the main factors contributing to the improvement of scientific, technical, and medical solutions. Every year in Europe, more than a million people die from various types of cancer, so the development and research of modern methods of medical diagnosis, treatment, and technical improvements are an integral part of the work and research of scientists. One of the current technological advances in the surgical removal of tumors is the gamma probe, which provides precise locations of cancer cells in a patient. For the successful implementation of the project, a coordinated exchange of experience and knowledge gained in the field of physics, engineering, and technology will be carried out; by strengthening modern knowledge in the field of optoelectronics and applying modern technological approaches and methods, as well as international cooperation of highly qualified scientists and engineers from Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, and Azerbaijan. The project participants have many years of experience in the development and research of optical detectors, which resulted in the development of high-performance photodetectors with unique structures and parameters that surpass their counterparts. The successful implementation of this project will lead to the scientific development of a new generation of highly sensitive gamma detectors and, as a result, to the creation of an improved detection device. The aim of the project is to develop a high-precision, more compact prototype gamma probe for surgical operations. Within the framework of this project, the collaboration will carry out both, research and technological components using the latest research methods and technical potential and through multi-purpose business trips.
