Recent innovations in family policy extend parental leave benefits to fathers and establish paid family leave to care for non-child relatives, such as spouses and parents. Such policies seek to ease work-life tensions, yet there are considerable cross-country differences in the existence, duration and generosity of paid parental and family leave benefits. While welfare state theories offer several explanations for cross-country differences in family policies, we have few explanations for policy content – who is included and excluded from provisions – and the timing of policy change. ERA will apply a unique, recursive mixed-method approach to understand the nature and extent of interactions between various key actors, such as representatives from government, organized labor, women’s movements and organizations opposed to reform, and how such interactions shape family policies. While my quantitative approach will consider the timing of parental leave policy adoption, my qualitative approach will focus on how specific family members – particularly non-child relatives – become incorporated under leave law. Analysis will combine insights from interdisciplinary fields of social movement outcomes (in sociology) and comparative policy analysis (in sociology and political science) and make theoretical contributions to both fields. ERA is a cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary and gender-mindful project that includes end-users in project implementation and an ambitious dissemination, communication and outreach strategy. I bring close to 10 years of experience working in interdisciplinary research centers, publishing independently and with collaborators and expertise in social movements and mixed methods. Collaboration with researchers at the interdisciplinary Swedish Institute for Social Research promises new competencies in policy research and comparative policy analysis and will result in a new, publicly accessible data module, facilitating future cutting-edge research.

Human polluting activities take many forms but one of the most serious types of pollution is soil contamination. In the EU alone there are an estimated 2.5 million sites with polluted soil. Alpha Cleantec AG has invented a new process for transforming contaminated soil into clean soil. The new process has two main advantages over conventional soil remediation techniques: it is inexpensive and does not cause environmental side-effects. Alpha Cleantec's simple but effective solution is accomplished with the use of commonly available chemical compounds. The solution can be applied in- and ex-situ to clean most of the commonly encountered pollutants such as hydrocarbons, PCBs, dioxins, pesticides etc. With this solution, Alpha Cleantec wants to help clean up the environment and contribute to healthy living.

Objectives 1. Improve the competitiveness of the EU industrial sector by reducing 20% energy costs in industrial water processes. (WP4) A total reduction of 26 GWh/year will be achieved at the end of the project implementing energy efficiency measures in the European manufacturing companies. 2. Identify saving potentials and benchmark energy performance through an Energy Management Self-Assessment (EMSA) collaborative web-tool. (WP1 & WP2) Manufacturing industries can anonymously introduce their data into the EMSA web-tool to know their ranking regarding other industries with the same processes. 3. Strengthen the energy saving market through the creation of an “Energy Angels” network: facilitating contacts with skilled energy managers and auditors and providing access to support for the implementation and financing of water energy efficiency projects. (WP3) The energywater proposal will prepare the ground for investment facilitating information about potential savings and establishing a network of qualified providers (with technical and financial skill). Furthermore the Energy Angels network will implement a training module to improve the availability of skilled energy managers and auditors in which at least 200 people will be trained. 4. Improve energy performance in industrial water processes through benchmarking activities and a best practice guide based on real experience case studies. (WP4) Saving strategies identified in the EMSA web-tool will be implemented in manufacturing industries. The best energy saving strategies to manage industrial water processes will be compiled in a guidance document. 5. Influence energy efficiency regulation through public authorities’ involvement. (WP4) In order to optimise energy efficiency in manufacturing industries both private and public stakeholders have to be aware of their role. We will make public authorities part of the energywater project with the objective to identify and remove regulatory and non-regulatory barr

Over the years, transport of people and goods has become a key part of an increasingly globalised economy, reaching a value of €4.14 Trillion in 2017, a 6% of the Gross World Product. However, this expansion has not been trouble-free, and the infrastructure congestion, pollution or oil dependence have become issues to be solved in order to carried out transport in a sustainable manner. That is why in 2013 the concept of hyperloop has been created, a transport system based on pods that travel inside a tube with close to vacuum conditions; which allows it to reach 1,000 km/h, combining the speed of the plane, the convenience of the train and the periodicity of the metro making far journeys faster and more comfortable. Despite its potential, the development of an Hyperloop system is a long-term project that will require the collaboration of different companies to overcome the various challenges that will arise, especially related to the scalability of their systems, the cost reduction and the operation of Hyperloop at a higher level. These challenges are mostly three: the very high cost of the infrastructure construction, the manufacture of vehicles and the improvement of the internal systems of the vehicle, especially propulsion and levitation, with the aim of optimizing them for the future complete scalability of the Hyperloop concept while ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo. Our solution to ensure this scalability involves an approach to levitation and propulsion subsystems that diverge from the state-of-the-art, thus allowing reduced infrastructure costs, simpler maintenance, safer pressures and reduced energy consumption. Zeleros Global was founded in 2016 by a group of hyperloop experts for the definitive development of the transport system in Europe. Its team has won several prizes in hyperloop design and development competitions. This project is expected to help in the final development of this transport system, also generating €261M revenues

Over the last 25 years poultry farms, and particularly chicken farms, have been industrialised and transformed into efficient operations that can fulfil the demand for meat and eggs with nearly every step along the production process, optimised for speed and quality. Two critical processes, however, that have not yet been effectively developed are: the non-invasive detection of the fertility of eggs before they are moved to incubation and sexing (i.e. gender determination) of eggs before hatching (i.e. before the egg opens). Despite the critical economic implications and the clear benefits of performing pre-incubation fertility detection and sexing before hatching, there is currently no solution on the market that allows it. The ultimate objective for EggDetect’s business project is to bring to the global poultry industry a more efficient, cost-effective, and humane alternative to traditional methods of determining the fertility of avian eggs and the gender of the embryos before hatching to prevent the mass culling of male chickens (mass killing upon hatching by suffocation or maceration) and to increase the economic performance of hatcheries. EDU provides real-time, remote early detection of fertility and sex for a variety of eggs with an accuracy level of over 98% at the standard throughput of at least 50,000 eggs per hour. EDU guarantees substantial cost saving as well as a solution to the ethical and environmental problems associated with culling. EDU can increase annual gross profit of a layer eggs hatchery by up to 60%. EggDetect’s EDUs will be sold directly to the existing manufacturers of candling machines, which will in turn distribute the units directly to their customers, the hatcheries – either as part of newly sold candling machines or as an enhancement to existing machines. Local distributors will serve as main business partners. The machines will be updated when required providing additional market sales.

In Humanities, written correspondence is a fundamental object of study. The current IT revolution provides means for reassembling and disseminating this precious literary heritage for the first time, while at the same time fostering new forms of scholarly cooperation. As letters create links between people, the value of documents and data increases when different corpora of written correspondences are interconnected and linked. Despite the strong need for common standards and common tools to exploit these connections and to reconstruct the discourse of the Republic of Letters, there is still no simple framework in the current panorama for publishing digitized correspondence corpora. The OPenPal project, led by Prof. Ghelardi, aims to develop a prototype system to manage, publish, export and visualise corpora of various types of correspondence in innovative ways: the idea is therefore to move from the EU-funded project EUROCORR (storing and displaying the critical edition of the correspondence to Jacob Burckhardt (1842-1897) – http://fe.burckhardtsource.org/ –) and to generalise both workflow and data model to new correspondence corpora, by refactoring and redesigning the architecture of Burckhardtsource. The expected outcomes of the OPenPal project will be to produce a prototype to publish digital correspondences (i.e. manuscripts, texts and data) and a toolkit to manage these special editions. OPenPal prototype will enable users to browse texts and data through guided paths, infographic visualisations, and will make it possible to browse a unique space of linked knowledge and trigger social mechanisms for discussion and debate on letters, thus opening from a niche of scholarly content to a wider audience. As a whole, this process will identify a sustainable business model for the new tool, based on linked data technologies in correspondence digital editions.

Radioactive gases are key targets for the environment, making gas monitoring an important issue. SPARTE will focus on the detection and activity measurement metrology of tracers related to nuclear activities. In this respect, the detection of 85Kr, 133Xe, 3H, 37Ar, being all emitter or electron capture radionuclides, is targeted. SPARTE will implement and achieve a radically novel radioactive gas detection and radioactivity metrology, by introducing highly porous scintillating aerogels and/or Metal-Organic Frameworks designed to dramatically extend gas-matter interaction for effective detection through scintillation. These materials after development and optimization will combine an efficient, fast and isotropic scintillation ensuring homogeneous 3D response and high sensitivity for metrology. The goal will be to realize functional solid-based sensors generating a close intermixing between the sensor and the analyte and to combine efficiency and homogeneity. Major breakthroughs are foreseen: a calibration method for low activity range of 85Kr and 133Xe, a real time detection system of for some noble gas and 3H with a significantly improved sensitivity in an easy deployable system, a detector for 37Ar. SPARTE consortium proposes a unique combination of competences aimed at succeeding in the difficult task of pioneering a new technology track, from sensor as porous scintillator to critical radioactive gas detection and metrology method development. It covers the six critical skills - i.e. aerogels and MOFs scintillating monolith preparation, structural and scintillation characterization, ionizing radiation detection and its modeling – needed to reach our goals. The consortium combines 4 leading research centers and 2 SMEs around 3 core expertises - processing, characterization and metrology - also encompassing the industrial perspective, in order to create the interdisciplinary “substrate” necessary for a successful outcome of the project.

CloudTeams will be a cloud-based platform transforming software development for cloud services into a much easier, faster and targeted process, by engaging communities of users who will participate in the product life cycle to help software teams develop better solutions for customers’ problems. Main challenges addressed by CloudTeams are first, the fragmented European market that makes adaptation of innovations difficult and expenses for market research extremely high and second, the lack of tools and incentives for users to collaborate with talented software teams around Europe towards developing better solutions. CloudTeams will solve these problems, by bringing end-users into its platform, use existing data to find the proper match with a project, and facilitate the communication between the software team and the users throughout the whole development process. CloudTeams will use endpoints to existing services and tools that are popular in software development, by mashing them up with common practices. It will support developers with a collaborative platform where interaction with customers will feel natural and will validate the final outcome. CloudTeams is the intersection of three important fields: crowdsourcing platforms, collaborative software development tools and trusted cloud services delivery. This innovative combination of different tools and practices under a unique concept will be enhanced with a rewarding system to enable end-users to jump into the platform and support solutions they are interested in. In addition a testing and trust framework will validate the whole process based on proper analytics and qualitative feedback by the prospective customers. The final cloud-based solutions will be validated based on the CloudTeams methodology and thus trusted by the customers, and thus will find the proper market fit in a more quick and efficient way.

The Trafficking Transformations Project will use an innovative, multidisciplinary, object-centred framework to investigate the physical and contextual changes that illicit criminogenic collectables undergo during the trafficking process in three transnational criminal markets: antiquities, rare wildlife, and fossils. It will explore the socio-economic effects of the trafficked objects on participants in international criminal networks. It will transform organised crime research by shifting the focus of trafficking research away from criminals and networks of criminals toward following the objects of desire. Prior approaches to trafficking research cast trafficking as an interface between organised crime (people moving the objects) and white-collar crime (affluent people receiving goods); objects were not considered social agents in these networks. Trafficking Transformations pushes the boundaries of mainstream criminology, proposing an innovative object-centred understanding of trafficking networks, and exploring the ultimate question: How do objects cause crimes? The project will use object biography, a multi-sited ethnography technique, to investigate the influences and transformations of trafficked criminogenic collectables in international illicit markets. Through data collection at multiple sites along trafficking pathways, the transformations of criminogenic collectables, the networks that they create, and the people they influence will form a narrative, a biography of trafficking. This will reveal the hidden lives of illicit commodities prior to their appearance as objects of conspicuous consumption in public markets, and holds the prospect of destabilising existing assumptions about the formulation, maintenance, and disruption of transnational criminal networks, transforming our understanding of organised crime.
