IMPACT tackles all the challenges of the call JTI-CS2-2019-CfP10-LPA-01-80, “Rear fuselage and empennage shape optimization including anti-icing technologies” by: • unlocking the capability to perform fast and accurate 3D ice accretion simulation suitable for non-straight leading-edge empennages, accounting for effects of passive anti-ice coatings and devices like leading-edge undulations; • characterising, integrating, and exploiting the passive anti-ice coatings and devices for non-straight leading-edge empennage configurations, reaching TRL 5 at the end of the project; • developing and applying innovative aerostructural optimisation methods for advanced rear ends (ARE), including the effects of the passive anti-ice coatings and devices, to minimise drag and include structural and aeroelastic constraints; • validate the accuracy of the 3D icing accretion simulations and the performance of passive anti-ice coating and devices by means of large scale icing wind tunnel (IWT) experimental tests. To realize its ambition, IMPACT builds on a consortium of nine European partners from Austria, Italy and the UK, multiplying the value of EU-funding with a tenth partner from Canada, who joins the project without EU funding. The results delivered by IMPACT are expected to contribute significantly to the objectives of the CS2 IADP LPA ARE by reducing (i) its weight by 7-to-8%, (ii) its recurring costs by 5-to-6%, (iii) the LPA fuel consumption by 1.7-to-2.9%, and (iv) by favourably contributing to reducing lead time. IMPACT will ultimately support Airbus’ progress with the advanced rear end concept, enhancing the competitiveness of the European LPA industry and value chain.

This project aims to develop a universal approach to angular momentum in quantum many-body systems based on the angulon quasiparticle recently discovered by the PI. We will establish a general theory of angulons in and out of equilibrium, and apply it to a variety of experimentally studied problems, ranging from chemical dynamics in solvents to solid-state systems (e.g. angular momentum transfer in the Einstein-de Haas effect and ultrafast magnetism). The concept of angular momentum is ubiquitous across physics, whether one deals with nuclear collisions, chemical reactions, or formation of galaxies. In the microscopic world, quantum rotations are described by non-commuting operators. This makes the angular momentum theory extremely involved, even for systems consisting of only a few interacting particles, such as gas-phase atoms or molecules. Furthermore, in most experiments the behavior of quantum particles is inevitably altered by a many-body environment of some kind. For example, molecular rotation – and therefore reactivity – depends on the presence of a solvent, electronic angular momentum in solids is coupled to lattice phonons, highly excited atomic levels can be perturbed by a surrounding ultracold gas. If approached in a brute-force fashion, understanding angular momentum in such systems is an impossible task, since a macroscopic number of particles is involved. Recently, the PI and his team have shown that this challenge can be met by introducing a new quasiparticle – the angulon. In 2017, the PI has demonstrated the existence of angulons by comparing his theory with 20 years of measurements on molecules rotating in superfluids. Most importantly, the angulon concept allows one to gain analytical insights inaccessible to the state-of-the-art techniques of condensed matter and chemical physics. The angulon approach holds the promise of opening up a new interdisciplinary research area with applications reaching far beyond what is proposed here.

This innovation project aims to introduce IMERSO: a revolutionary Virtual Reality (VR) system for the enterprise market. VR technology has been used for decades by large firms with well-documented economic benefits, but the required equipment remains too expensive and cumbersome for millions of SME’s and Public Actors. Our unique concept disrupts the established high-price VR market by democratising this technology to organisations of any size. IMERSO enables its customers to drastically reduce product development costs and increase sales through better customer engagement. This project will modernise the multimedia aspects of product design and prototyping, customer engagement, and workforce training. Likewise, it addresses Europe’s objectives of modernising education and training systems, along with boosting industrial competitiveness. The global VR Head-Mounted Display (HMD) market is estimated to grow rapidly to €11,7 billion by 2020, with a CAGR of 74% from 2015 - 2020. In Europe alone a potential customer base of 22 million SME’s can benefit from using IMERSO in their work processes. Initial customer contacts have increased the team’s confidence in the value-proposition of this innovative solution. This Phase-1 study will minimise technical and market acceptance risks by involving customers early in the system design phase and assure a user-driven development process. ODI’s support of this project enables filling a market gap that strengthens Europe’s position on this powerful emerging technology — a market sharply divided between established vendors catering to high-end customers and upcoming consumer VR Gaming devices.

The proposed Innovation Project aims to develop and commercialise the world’s first Self-Guided Fluidised Bed Granulation Solution targeted at the pharmaceutical, food, nutritional and cosmetics industries. The SMART-GRAN solution will incorporate a suite of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) analysers for the in-process monitoring and closed loop control of the Critical Process Parameters (physical, chemical and moisture properties of the granulate) coupled with soft-sensoring, for obtaining consistent product quality and safety. The ability of the system to confirm cleaning process success between batches will reduce equipment downtime, increase product throughput and lead to increased productivity. Through a cloud-based data management platform, the SMART-GRAN solution will enable historical data to be available for Quality-by-Design process optimisation for gaining resource efficiencies for improved competitiveness. This will enable intelligence-based manufacturing (IbM) concepts which focus on harnessing the complementary power of data, modelling, engineering and IT infrastructure by transforming data into knowledge and ultimately intelligence, to equip industry to move to proactive manufacturing strategies that deliver predictable manufacturing performance. The commercialization of the system will help IPL to secure a position as a global PAT-based solutions provider to the pharmaceutical sector, generating > € 34 M in additional turnover for the company by 2022, and leading directly to the creation of ~58 new high-end jobs through the supply of the system. Roll out to other sectors will treble this potential. Moreover, the competitive impacts upstream and downstream will lead to the creation of up to ~1000 new jobs in Europe.

European Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) burden is unsustainable. Better risk stratification tools and personalized care of patients are needed for reducing morbidity and mortality of CHD and the associated economic burden. To this end we have planned to shape and implement a personalized secondary prevention program for patients with established CHD. This precision strategy will be tested in a prospective trial, the CoroPrevention Trial, a central element of our proposal. We aim to significantly reduce the numbers of coronary events by using outcome risk- and patient characteristics- guided prevention in CHD patients. 1. Prospectively evaluate clinical utility of personalized prevention in CHD 2. Evaluate health economic and social benefits of the personalized prevention in CHD 3. Discover predictive markers of drug treatment response in CHD 4. Improve current ESC guidelines based on RCT validated clinical data 5. Disseminate the refined prevention program to the attention of practitioners, patients, health care payers and policy makers This program will establish a new economically sustainable personalized treatment practice applicable throughout Europe particularly to those regions where CHD prevention needs upgrading. The used protocols and technologies will carefully assessed by NICE using their standard evaluation methods that will allow independent expert opinions for different European authorities and decision makers. These opinion statements will further be supported by full Health Economics analyses of CoroPrevention Trial.

The behavior of intelligent systems, both living and artificial, is influenced through the structure of their surrounding environment. In nature, environmental constraints dictate the creation, unfolding, and interaction of living beings. Living systems are prototypes for collective robot behaviors— yet, despite the obvious influence of spatial constraints on interactions, the optimization of mobile robots and their immediate environment has been disjoint. Little thought has been given to what would make an artificial environment conducive to effective and efficient collective robotic mobility. The premise of this project is that the environment is as much a variable as the robot itself. I want to expose the coupling between environmental structure and collective robotic mobility. In pursuit of this goal, I propose a co-optimization scheme that finds the best robot-environment pairs in an automated, scalable manner. The work in this project will (i) optimize control policies that define the behavior of collective mobile robot systems, and (ii) find environments that are more conducive to efficient coordination and cooperation. The developed techniques will allow us to perform first-of-a-kind analyses that would reveal novel environmental paradigms and the collective robot policies optimized around them. Ultimately, this project will spearhead new ways of thinking about transport planning and urban design, in the wake of a new generation of mobile vehicles that are connected and coordinated.

Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic memories (STT-MRAM) are receiving a growing R&D effort within the microelectronic industry aiming at the replacement of DRAM or SRAM at sub-20nm nodes. MAGICAL seeks to significantly innovate through groundbreaking advances in ultra-low power multifunctional systems based on hybrid CMOS/magnetic technology. With the development of portable electronics and of the Internet of Things (IOT), more and more functions must be embedded on chips: logic/memory, sensing, communication, etc. The current hurdles with today's technology are power consumption, communication bandwidth, processing/ packaging costs. MAGICAL will demonstrate that these limitations can be largely overcome through hybrid CMOS/magnetic technology. The project will follow three main goals: - Firstly, we will strengthen the STT-MRAM technology by investigating two novel ideas aiming at solving two remaining difficulties in sub-20nm STT-MRAM development: the nanostructuration of magnetic tunnel junctions and the long-term data retention. This will open the path to high density (>Gbit) STT-MRAM. -Secondly, we will demonstrate that Digital, analog (3D magnetic field sensing for orientation sensor), RF communication functions can be realized with the same baseline technology as the one developed for STT-MRAM. As a result, these three types of functions can be homogeneously integrated in a single chip, a major improvement compared to conventional heterogeneous integration. The prime benefits expected from MAGICAL are: ultralow power thanks to MRAM non volatility and on-chip computation capability, greatly improved communication functionalities (cloud as well as intrachip communication), reduced process/packaging costs. -Thirdly, through various actions, MAGICAL will aim at narrowing the cultural gap that still exists between magnetism and microelectronics communities. The project could definitely help the European microelectronic systems industry improve its leadership position.

Growing numbers of people are renting rather than owning commodities such as music, films, cars and, crucially, housing. The shift from ownership to access in exchange for a fee is occurring in the context of new socio-economic conditions and digital platforms emerging from crisis-ridden landscapes. Homeownership, the social cement of capitalism in past decades, is losing ground to new access economies in housing, featuring transnational landlords and rental platforms. This entails that new profiles of renters and rentiers are gaining centrality in contemporary urban political economies. Novel forms of income generation have developed, but also novel forms of precariety and inequality. The project seeks to engage with these changing urban conditions and analyse emerging strategies to counter associated power and wealth imbalances. To this end, the project involves an intensive analysis of Barcelona, an ‘extreme case’ in two respects; (1) in the significance of the shift from ownership to access economies in housing, and (2) in how related asset-ownership inequalities, as well as asymmetries in the control of data and digital infrastructures, are being addressed in innovative ways. The project will analyse the development of digital counter-infrastructures and legal and policy innovations that are drafting new ‘social contracts’ for post-homeownership societies. Drawing on and contributing to political-economic urban theories and using qualitative as well as quantitative methods, this in-depth and interdisciplinary approach will generate new knowledge, which can inform theory and action on a pressing contemporary challenge.

In MARANDA project an emission-free hydrogen fuelled PEMFC based hybrid powertrain system is developed for marine applications and validated both in test benches and on board the research vessel Aranda, which is one of about 300 research vessels in Europe. Special emphasis is placed on air filtration and development of hydrogen ejector solutions, for both efficiency and durability reasons. In addition, full scale freeze start testing of the system will be conducted. When research vessels are performing measurements, the main engines are turned off to minimize noise, vibration and air pollution causing disturbance in the measurements. The 165 kW (2 x 82.5 kW AC) fuel cell powertrain (hybridized with a battery) will provide power to the vessel's electrical equipment as well as the dynamic positioning during measurements, free from vibration, noise and air pollution. One of the major obstacles for wider implementation of fuel cells in the marine sector is the hydrogen infrastructure. To alleviate this problem, a mobile hydrogen storage container, refillable in any 350 bar hydrogen refuelling station will be developed in this project. This novel solution will increase hydrogen availability to marine sector as well as many other sectors. The consortium of this project contains companies from the whole fuel cell value chain, from balance-of-plant components to system integrator and end user. The fuel cell system will be tested in conditions similar to arctic marine conditions before implementation to the target vessel. In addition, long-term durability testing (6 months, 4380 operating hours) of the system will be conducted at an industrial site. The project will increase the market potential of hydrogen fuel cells in marine sector, which have for long lagged behind road transportation. General business cases for different actors in the marine and harbor or fuel cell business will be created and therefore the impacts in the whole industry will be notable.
