The proposed project “Coherent Support for Mobility.E Strategy” (COSMOS) aims at supporting the ECSEL Lighthouse Initiative Mobility.E in its endeavour to accelerate the deployment of clean and automated road mobility solutions and the realisation of the associated socio-economic benefits. For this purpose, the COSMOS project will assist the Lighthouse Initiative Advisory Service (LIASE) in the continuous identification and prioritisation of research topics and the subsequent translation into an action plan to support roadmap implementation. It will map the Mobility.E ecosystem by comparing the Strategic Research Agendas of ECSEL and of the European Technology Platforms AENEAS, EPoSS and ARTEMIS-IA involved therein with those of stakeholders further down the value chain, such as ERTRAC, EUCAR, CLEPA, and EATA regarding complementarity and coherence, and it will analyse the implementation of these roadmaps into funded projects. This approach shall enable the identification of white spots and gaps and it will reveal the potentials for bridging these with a dedicated implementation plan. This content-related work will be enabled by a set of effective network support measures in terms of stakeholder engagement and collaboration, events and workshops as well as dissemination building an extensive Stakeholder Circle. One of the visible activities supported by COSMOS will be continuation and further development of the ECA 2030 networking events series. The contractual and associated partners of COSMOS are representing the Mobility.E lighthouse projects, the LIASE and the governing board of ECSEL, the editorial team of the “Transport and Smart Mobility” chapter of the ECSEL Joint SRA and further relevant stakeholders. By working together in a coherent manner in processes for strategy development and network support they form a strong backbone of the community to be built for the Mobility.E Lighthouse of ECSEL.

EDIPI (european weather Extremes: DrIvers, Predictability and Impacts) aims to further our holistic understanding of the dynamics, predictability and impacts of temperature, precipitation (including drought) and surface wind extremes over Europe. The three overarching scientific questions we will tackle are: Why does a specific type of weather extreme occur? How can we use this knowledge to better predict it? And finally, what are the likely impacts once it does occur? Excellence in science will be achieved by a truly interdisciplinary approach. EDIPI will combine climate science, statistical mechanics, dynamical systems theory, risk management, agronomy, epidemiology and more to open unexplored avenues in the study of European weather extremes. Examples include the use of concepts from statistical mechanics to generate large datasets of simulated extreme winter storms, or of data from social networks to forecast temperature-attributable mortality. Excellence in training will be expressed by creating a cohort of weather extremes experts, who combine a physical understanding of high-impact weather extremes with a practical knowledge of predictability tools and an appreciation of user-relevant information required by the private sector. EDIPI will further place great emphasis on soft and transferrable skills, such as scientific programming, IPR, communication and stakeholder engagement, and on open science in accordance with the FAIR principle. EDIPI’s scientific and training philosophy will ease the development of the project’s findings into products and services and provide a key contribution to enhancing European innovation capacity. It will further prepare the project’s ESRs for a broad range of careers, from academia to the private sector (e.g. insurers, risk managers, catastrophe modellers, financial institutions dealing with weather derivatives) to public bodies (e.g. national weather services, public health agencies, civil protection services).

FARINA PRESSE, 80 years old Italian SME specialized in High Tonnage Hot Forging Presses (HTHFP: > 25.000 kN) with a solid R&D tradition and a fame of excellence in hot forging sector, aims at developing a UNIVERSAL KIT, suitable to be installed on the most different types of existing HTHFPs, capable to reduce up to 30% their electric energy consumption and increase up to 33% their productivity, so that to address the potential of the European working HTHFPs' fleet and obtain an important energy consumption reduction at system level. The European forging industry, an highly energy intensive sector, is steadly forced to reduce production costs and increase production volumes. The project will allow to meet the forging industry needs and its application on the European market will obtain significant energy saving on European energy networks. We estimate our kit will allow to save about 210 MWh/year for an average HTHFP, actually dissipated as unproductive heat: if extended to the European HTHFP fleet, it means a potential saving of 420 GWh/year, equivalent to a reduction of 210.000 tons CO2 emission per year.

NEFERTITI is a unique project that establishes 10 interactive thematic networks and bring together 45 regional clusters (hubs) of demo-farmers and the involved actors (advisors, NGOs, industry, education, researchers and policy makers) in 17 countries. NEFERTITI focuses on creating added value from the exchange of knowledge, actors, farmers and technical content over the networks in order to boost innovation uptake, to improve peer to peer learning and network connectivity between farms actors across Europe, thus contributing to a more competitive, sustainable and climate-smart agriculture. NEFERTITI address 10 themes that have been chosen based on key concerns of the farming communities of the regional hubs in the project, covering together a balanced range of themes over three main agricultural sectors: animal production, arable farming and horticultural production. The themes have also been chosen regarding their innovation potential, their demonstration potential and the cross-fertilisation potential among the themes, the sectors and the actors. Themes are closely linked to the H2020 Thematic Networks and will connect with other organisational structures at grass root level, like EIP operational groups and study clubs that will confer to the project a key role of accelerator and empowerment of the dissemination and of the uptake of the practical-oriented knowledge delivered by all EIP related projects. A monitoring and learning program supports the systematic extraction of lessons learnt, lessons to be shared with wide audiences including AKIS actors and public authorities. A web based platform unlocks the experience, actors, demo details and the related content for wide spread sharing, enhanced by dedicated production of relevant material (including high-quality professional videos) in each language of the partners. NEFERTITI will engage a policy dialogue with EU Regions to match farmers and policy makers’ interests in view of the networks sustainability.

The Project aim is to develop and demonstrate lighter integrated heat exchanger systems for the turbofan engine. Currently in turbofan engines heat exchangers are used to cool the oil that is supplied to the bearing chambers and generators. They contribute to achieving the best engine performance by maintaining oil and fuel temperatures within defined limits. In the future, extensive use of heat exchangers will be required in order to get the very lowest levels of fuel burn to meet the environmental challenges. Therefore development of compact, lightweight and low cost heat exchanger systems is required. In this context, research and development activities are foreseen, to assess, develop, design and manufacture: High Length to depth ratio Surface Air Cooled Oil Coolers; Utilisation of engine structural components for thermal cooling; Robust mounting systems to integrate the high length to depth Surface Air Cooled Oil Cooler on the turbofan engine; High efficiency Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger; High reliability Modulating Oil Bypass Valve that is integrated within the Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger. The heat exchanger systems will be tested on the rig and Rolls-Royce demonstrator engines to validate their performance and structural capabilities. The integration of the high length to depth ratio Surface Air Cooled Oil Coolers on the engine will require a robust mounting system to tolerate the induced stresses due to thermal and vibrational loads. Advanced manufacturing capability will be developed for the designs of the high length to depth ratio Surface Air Cooled Oil Coolers and the Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger with the integrated Modulating Oil Bypass Valve.

Stroke represents currently one of the largest – if not the largest - unmet medical need: It is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability. In contrast to this high demand for effective treatments, there is only one drug available, a blood-clot dissolving agent. However, this drug is marginally effective has over 30 contra-indications, and bears an extremely high risk of causing fatal bleeding that 85% of all stroke patients are not treated with it. The needed innovation would be a drug which is broadly applicable, i.e. has no contraindication, can be given in all forms of stroke and already in the ambulance, is safe, i.e. bears no risk to cause secondary bleeding, is effective, i.e. reduces the brain infarct, increases survival and improves neurological outcomes for patients, has a different mechanism of action, i.e. is directly neuroprotective. Our therapeutic principle, discovered in the course of the ERC-ADG RadMed fulfils all above criteria and is also commercially an innovative approach because we reduce the risk by developing only a single compound by here combining three compounds that target the same disease mechanism but at different points. We thereby expect to dramatically reduce the likelihood risk of failure in our post-proof of concept (PoC) clinical development and commercialisation process. We here propose to conduct the final step, the PoC, before a first-in-man study in stroke. Our PoC plan has three major objectives: To complete an IPR FTPO and Foreground analysis, to chose the optimal compounds and complete phase III pre-clinical to provide PoC for a first-in-man trial in stroke, to then allow the work-out of a complete business plan including competitive analysis, development strategy, and commercial/business development strategy.

REsiliENCe general objective is to internalize research skills by recruiting a highly qualified specialist – at least Recognised Researcher R2 - whose expertise will be crucial to assess the industrial development of permanent, photocatalyst, superhydrophobic healthy nanocoatings intended for the cooking appliances domain, by means of carrying out (as a continuous circle) development, analysis/test, fine-tuning of formulas. Pramar S.r.l, the beneficiary, is a Medium company specialised in enamelling cast iron parts for domestic applications, that produces top quality and competitive products and gained an important role in the field of supplying parts for cooking and heating electrical appliances, used in the manufacture of hobs and cast iron stoves. The company is one of the major players in the world industry of this domain and steadily invest in technological and aesthetic research on materials. Starting from 2013, Pramar’s competitiveness strategy have been directing towards R&D of new innovative enamels, in the scope of achieving radical innovations on formulas that could lead to substantial competitive advantage in the market field. This strategy has then brought to the decision of entering/investigating the domain of film technologies – that are pervasive in the industry nowadays - with integration of nanocomponents into coating and enamel solutions. At present, the potential opportunity and Pramar’s expected innovation breakthrough is to reach the development of highly-resistant, photocatalyst, superhydrophobic, self-clean, healthy nanocoatings to be applied not only in the domain of cooking and heating electrical appliances (hobs and cast iron stoves) but also to cookware and over racks. The nanocomponents field is a very challenging research domain and Pramar has the capacity and entrepreneurial mindset to innovate but needs to acquire research expertise who can accompany them in a sound path of internal continuous development of the necessary know-how.

A fundamental difference between man-made and living matter is metabolism: the ability to dissipate chemical energy to drive many different chemical processes out of equilibrium. Metabolism endows chemical systems within living organisms with properties that are standard in biology but odd in chemistry: the capability to process information, to move and to react to the external world. My goal is to endow soft materials with dynamic life-like properties. I have chosen four: molecular computation, movement, self-construction and the capacity to entertain complex chemical conversations with living cells. To do so I will embed stimuli-responsive materials with a biocompatible synthetic metabolism capable of sustaining autonomous chemical feedback loops that process information and perform autonomous macroscopic actions. My approach combines concepts from systems chemistry, synthetic biology and DNA molecular programming with soft materials and uses a biochemical system that I have contributed to pioneer: DNA/enzyme active solutions that remain out of equilibrium by consuming a chemical fuel with non-trivial reaction kinetics. This system has three unique properties: programmability, biocompatibility and a long-term metabolic autonomy. Metabolic matter will be assembled in two stages: i) enabling metabolic materials with dynamic chemical, biological and mechanical responses, and ii) creating metabolic materials with unprecedented properties, in particular, the capacity of self-construction, which I will seek by emulating embryogenesis, and the ability to autonomously pattern a community of living cells. By doing this I will create for the first time chemical matter that is both dynamically and structurally complex, thus bringing into the realm of synthetic chemistry behaviors that so far only existed in biological systems. In the long term, metabolic matter could provide revolutionary solutions for soft robotics and tissue engineering

With the technological development and the increasing integration of RES, storage of various energy vectors supported by new organisational measures and business models is used to foster the development of local energy systems and to boost the use of local energy sources. COMPILE project aims to activate and use Local Energy Systems in order to support the fast growth of energy production from RES in constrained networks, and foster the transition from centralized system with passive users into a flexible network of active users featuring energy communities. This transformation aims to enhance RES integration and increase the security of supply, without traditional network reinforcement. COMPILE is uniting the efforts of DSOs, market actors and the communities of active consumers, since increasing decentralization needs more consumer engagement and participation. The project aims to better understand the way emerging decentralized solutions and the existing centralized infrastructure operate together in an economically efficient way. In COMPILE, we focus on showing the benefit of cooperation through energy communities that will solve current grid problems in a coordinated way, avoiding the costly network reinforcement while leading to an increased RES share. The demo cases in COMPILE are positioned along the spectrum of this passive-/active consumer transition and will show different approaches to coordination of consumers, technology and business models. The demos will have different “starting point”: different countries, different technology, organizational levels, community sizes, composition (industry/houses/retail), and regulatory perspective. All COMPILE demos feature a high replicability potential. Our vision is an interplay of flexible energy community-supported networks with current centralized system, increasing societal benefit with optimized planning. This leads to a more economical use of resources, help local businesses and decarbonise local areas.
