The MANAQA project is a multidisciplinary approach that combines innovative technologies emerging from different fields including nanotechnology, biochemistry, and nanorobotics. The strategy that will be exploited is based on a recently developed 5-DOF magnetic manipulation system combined with an atomic force microscope (AFM) system and functionalized magnetic nanowires. The fusion of these technologies has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of single-molecule manipulation and measurement. Information related to the structure and physical properties of macromolecules (i.e., proteins, polynucleotides) will be obtained. In a typical experiment, a molecule will be regiospecifically attached between a magnetic nanowire and the tip of an AFM cantilever. The extremely small footprint of the magnetic nanowire and the accuracy of a five degree-of-freedom magnetic manipulation system will allow high-resolution and stable force control on the molecule. The mechanical response of the molecule will be monitored using the AFM cantilever. Moreover, the system will be capable of measuring the electrical parameters of the nanowire-molecule hybrid. The success of this proposal will lead to long time-scale, low drift experiments that will provide invaluable insights on mechanisms governing conformational changes in single macromolecules by elucidating protein folding/unfolding/refolding trajectories at a low-force regime. This will contribute to the long-term vision of MANAQA of establishing a biomolecular measurement platform with extended capabilities. MANAQA opens new avenues in disciplines such as biochemistry, pharmacy, and biomedicine. The development of new miniaturized electronic devices within the scope of MANAQA project with single chemical entities integrated as their components will revolutionize the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

The project propose to analyze four new borate-free agents (cleaners), able to remove any grease or solid soils or contaminants adsorbed or chemically bonded to the surface of the parts from previous operations. Different borate-free formulations will be tested and investigated in a pilot line evaluating the cleaning efficiency compared to formulations containing borates and also evaluating the impact in term of corrosion or damage of these new formulations on two of the most critical aluminium alloys utilized in aeronautics. Together with the identification of the optimal cleaner and its processing window the project will provide indications on the analytics to be performed on the bath and the limiting values for selecting bath maintenance or replacement of the full solution. Finally, an evaluation on small and medium size parts of the whole anodizing sequence will be performed with particular reference the major requirements of the processes, like adhesion, corrosion properties and fatigue life.

The proposal outlines a design process coupled with a full evaluation and testing phase for a fully electric replacement for the current mechanical-hydraulic rotor brake system that exists on most large rotorcraft in production currently allow regenerative capture of the inertial energy stored in the aircraft drivetrain during deceleration. The concept offers further potential alongside other similar projects to downsize and in the long term even remove the hydraulic circuit that exists on aircraft resulting such that the benefits of electrical systems becomes significant. Furthermore, once on the aircraft, installation of the equipment provides potential for several performance and system benefits as there would exist coupled to the rotor a bi-directional power flow controller within an independent energy store. Possible systems would include fast rotor start, auto-gyro assist for safe landing in the event of primary power failure and extra power on-board electrical power generation for redundancy during flight.

The work within BESTT is allocated within seven work packages which lift the current know-how and demands for technological solutions step-by-step to a new innovative level. The consortium, consisting of three experienced companies covers the capabilities of developing and implementing a complex test bench by their experience in the field of manufacturing and standardisation (TEMES), modelling and engineering of complex plants (Modelon) and development and implementation of complex test benches (Streit). The development process will be created by this interdisciplinary experts consortium in an innovative iterative way which means, that short development cycles will go through the evaluation of an industrial manufacturer, a specialist company for test bench construction and a modelling experts company that will be the mathematic backbone on the way to the best solutions. Based on the results of the first work package a detailed planning process will be executed in WP2 “Design”. After the construction of the different custom parts in WP3, the integration of these components into the test facility will be carried out. To guarantee the operational functionality of the test bench, extensive operational tests will be executed by the consortium partners in WP5 “Operational testing". With this consortium three strong expert companies will work together on the development of a step-change test environment for future technologies especially the more-electrical aircraft. The consortium will be managed by STREIT, which is an experienced engineering and plant construction company that already participated successfully in two FP projects.

The idea which should be taken to the proof of concept is the application of nano energy-conversion phosphors in ionic liquids. The energy efficiency and performance of photonic devices such as CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps), LEDs (light emitting diodes) and SCs (solar cells) will be improved by more efficient use of light. For this, special nano energy-conversion phosphors (ecPs) will be coated on the respective device by a new technique relying . As no new development of the devices themselves is required, the invention has a near-market potential. The new technology will allow for a better device performance, higher energy efficiency, safer and greener production, diminish the impacts on health and environment during manufacturing as well as end-of-life. The consumption of rare materials where world-market shortage is observed will be reduced and the economic position of European companies improved.

Biological drugs such as proteins and nucleic acids have poor bioavailability, are subject to degradation and denaturation and need to be delivered to a specific cell type and sometimes even a specific organelle to be active. Therefore, they require a drug delivery system to bring them to the target site. However, the current available drug delivery systems lack efficiency, resulting in poor efficacy of biological drugs particularly of nucleic acids. Consequently, a large number of nucleic acids have had their development discontinued, or have failed as clinical candidates. These bottlenecks pose a serious unmet medical need for pharmaceutical companies for more reliable methods of targeted drug delivery. Based on ERC research, we discovered an innovative drug delivery system based on microvesicles (MVs). We have shown that MVs have superior characteristics over current drug delivery systems for siRNA and are thus a better option for targeted delivery. Therefore, we aim to conduct a PoC study to assess the commercial potential of this proprietary system. The PoC has four goals: -To analyse the market potential of microvesicle drug delivery systems. -To assess the overall IP position on MV based drug delivery systems -To develop a product development plan to identify the commercialisation route -To manage the grant and commercialisation route Together this should lead to a complete package to present to venture capitalists or other strategic partners.

The idea is to bring to pre-commercial stage two marketable versions of the research software that has been built for use in Prof Collins’ ERC Advanced Grant ‘IMGAME’ (ERC-2010-AdG-269463): 1) A new academic IMGAME Research Tool, potentially to be sold under licence to universities and other organisations engaged in social sciences research; and 2) A popular game, with the working name Masquerade, which can be played via the internet, using computers or handheld communication devices. In 1950, the famous computer pioneer, Alan Turing, proposed what became widely known as the ‘Turing Test’ which involved testing a hidden machine’s ‘intelligence’ by comparing its written responses to those of a hidden human and the extent to which one group can pretend to be the other – tested over a series of games and measured by the summary statistic, the ‘Identification Ratio’ (IR) – indicates the extent to which that group understands the other. The IR is a brand new measure of social integration and/or cultural understanding – we think it is the first new kind of quantitative measure in the social sciences since the social survey. The object of this proposal, ‘IMCOM’ (IMGAME Commercial), is to move one of the outputs of the core IMGAME grant, i.e. the game software we have developed, onto a pre-commercialisation stage through two commercial avenues as stated above.

In 2009, under the auspices of the ERC, a four year programme of research was launched to look at the legal shaping of memry after two apposite conflicts, both of which were marked by mass atrocity. One context (the Spanish Civil War) dates back to a 'pre transitional justice' moment. The other (the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990's as they effected Bosnia and Herzegovina - hereafter BiH) is largely understood to have been the laboratory of transitional justice. One of the largest and most complex parts of our work in BiH, one that accounts for approximately 30% of our entire 4 year budget and constitutes our first interim milestone, involves a consummate mapping of ‘transitional justice’ initiatives in BiH. The study is longintudinal, includes a regional purview and aims to chart: i) Flows of funding, personnel and information resources; ii) Target audiences of TJ initiatives; iii) Methodologies involved in research, design and implementation of TJ initiatives; iv) Successes, failures and reduplication of TJ efforts. This ‘map’ already offers an unparalleled resource. However, to expand its utility, this CSA will use social network mapping analysis (through UCINet software) in order to subject the data to a variety of statistical and network-based forms of examination (centrality measures, subgroup identification, role analysis). This will enable us to identify: i) funding gatekeepers and their target audiences/funding priorities; ii) those actors/institutions that are not easily recognised as ‘central’ but act as integral nodes in the TJ network; iii) clusters of implementing agents and their relation to gatekeepers and significant nodes in the network; iv) the role of certain institutions in coordinating TJ initiatives. The project team believe that the proposed collaboration with designated user-beneficiaries will produce a new process and model for coordinating transitional justice initiatives, an output we have named the TJ Mapping Toolkit.

In conformity with the aim of the related ERC project the ERC research group together with MediMass Ltd. have developed both technology and toolkit, to enable the in-vivo in situ differentiation of tissue types. By providing hereto-unavailable information to surgeons about the tissue they are cutting, the product enables better decision-making resulting in more precise operations, higher survival rates, fewer relapses and considerably less extra interventions required. MediMass Ltd – a technology spin off created by the ERC Starting Grant holder to execute the Intelligent Surgical Device (ISD) project – under the current programme proposes to evaluate the business opportunity generated by the joint project with the ERC group, and using that information build a sound business case for potential investors and partners. Based on the research funded by the FP7 ERC Starting Grant and the technology development by MediMass Ltd. we wish to evaluate the market possibility for a proposed application.

There is increasing interest in exploiting enzymes to carry out steps in industrial catalysis. Biocatalysts permit reactions to be carried out under mild conditions and with the exquisite chiral and regio-selectivity demanded of pharmaceutical, food and fine chemical products. A growing number of enzymes are already utilised across these industries. However, the repertoire of enzymes available for industrial redox transformations is greatly limited by the requirement of many oxidoreductase enzymes for supply of the hydride-carrying nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) cofactors at stoichiometric levels. The high cost of these cofactors means that a regeneration system is essential. In this project, we develop towards commercial application, a convenient, cheap, modular regeneration system for the nicotinamide cofactors NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH. Our innovation is likely to have broad applications in facilitating enzyme-catalysed steps in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals, and to offer substantial advantages over currently available cofactor recycling systems. This project builds on ideas and early-stage results that have arisen rapidly out of an ERC Starting Grant-funded project. We now apply for funds to protect our Intellectual Property, explore the surrounding market and patent landscape, and develop our innovation into a robust demonstration.
