"Wind power has established itself in recent years as a clean alternative to conventional sources of electrical generation. Reduced costs and further technical development led to the deployment in the sea over the past decade. Offhsore, the wind resource is higher and more constant, allowing higher unitary power turbines operate a higher yield. However, the marine environment also imposes a number of constraints and challenges. Current technologies are fixed to the seabed, using different types of foundations, howere most of wind resources are located in deeper waters, where floating solutions are needed. Because of their initial higher costs, these solutions are still under development, with only a few prototypes installed worldwide. Nowadays, the challenge is to reduce the costs of floating wind turbine structures which enable the access to a much larger energy potential that the one available in land and more easily manageable. The aim of the SATH project is the demonstration in real conditions of a floating structure for offshore wind which will allow a reduction in LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Energy) over the current floating technology. The SATH solution is a platform that consists of two cylindrical floats (of prestressed reinforced concrete) which can be manufactured onshore and transported and positioned at the final location in a single mooring point allowing the rotation of the platform on itself, self-aligning with the wind direction."

R4D will tackle urgent sustai 2021nability challenges faced by dairy producers by bringing together dairy farmers, farmers’ organisations, advisors, researchers and all relevant actors across 15 countries to close the divide between research and innovation within and across Europe. There were around 1.485 million farms at the last official census in 2013 (Eurostat) in the EU bovine dairy sector, yet no network focused solely on their needs has been established to date. Coordinated by Idele (F), R4D is built around the multi-actor approach to implement more intense cooperation between researchers, advisors, farmers and relevant actors to facilitate greater exchange and acceptance of co-created solutions. Following H2020 Eurodairy project, R4D draws on the EU, national and regional connections of the 17 consortium members to appropriate networks, on the three related key themes of economic and social resilience, technical efficiency and environment, animal welfare and society friendly production systems. Using the multi-actor approach, R4D will (i) capture and share innovative ideas and methods from practice across Europe and (ii) identify and conserve research findings that have not yet been widely adopted, enhancing their potential for integration into practice by assessing feasibility at demonstration farms. R4D’s strategic and targeted dissemination and communication actions are designed to raise awareness of the project’s innovation potential, and deliver engagement with farmers, their intermediaries and knowledge providers. Through driving effective cooperation between dairy producers, advisors and researchers, and utilising trusted gatekeepers, R4D will form a transnational ecosystem to stimulate knowledge exchange at international level in order to boost the economic viability and sustainability of the European dairy-producing sector while helping to inform policy of the needs of industry.

NextLand (Next Generation Land Management services for Agriculture and Forestry) aims to develop a set of 15 operational commercial midstream agriculture and forestry EO based services under a common service delivery platform, leveraging on GEOSS and Copernicus data and products and complemented by the assimilation of other very high resolution EO and in-situ data streams. This set of services will be co-designed together with downstream service providers, such as agronomy or forestry consultancy companies, and farmers and forest producers interface institutions, in the scope of 7 use cases. This will create an ecosystem that demonstrates the strengths of European service providers throughout the whole value chain of the hi-tech agroforestry sector. The codesigning approach aims to break the cycle of developing services only with a limited group of end-users from the same region, often leading to solutions tailored to the needs of one specific downstream service provider, usually with a strong regional bias and therefore less easily scalable to other regions. This approach will ensure the scalability of the services at a more global scale, and consequently it is expected that it will increase substantially the uptake of EO based midstream services by downstream providers. The involvement of the alpha and beta users in the service design is key to enhance the applicability and the reliability of the services to the potential customers worldwide.

The goal of this Fellowship is to derive quantitative estimates on the computational complexity of spectral problems in quantum mechanics. The theoretical framework for this task is provided by the so-called Solvability Complexity Index, which roughly speaking, is the number of successive limits needed to solve the computational problem. I will approach this task by combining techniques from numerical analysis with modern methods from spectral approximation theory. The project is divided into three concise work projects: WP1: NONRELATIVISTIC QUANTUM SYSTEMS. In this project, the spectral problem for Schrödinger operators with various types of potentials is studied. New sharp estimates on the computational complexity are derived. This will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the nonrelativistic theory. WP2: RESONANCES. In this second project, complexity issues are considered for the computation of scattering resonances in quantum mechanics. I will introduce new mathematical tools, which have not been used in complexity theory before to construct algorithms which compute the set of resonances of Schrödinger operators in one limit. WP3: EXTENSION TO RELATIVISTIC THEORY. The purpose of the final project is to extend the above results to the relativistic setting, in which the Schrödinger operator is replaced by a Dirac operator. This task is far from trivial, as methods from the Schrödinger case are generally not useful for Dirac operators. I also have robust career development and public outreach agendas, to complement the scientific aspects of this proposal. Combined, all these elements will establish me as a prominent research leader upon my return to Germany, with extensive links throughout Europe and the US.

Opto-electronic devices are opening exciting new applications everyday. With new display options using pliable substrates such as plastic and flexible glass, OLEDs manufacturers are bringing a wide range of new applications in lighting (e.g. energy efficient lighting) and different type of displays. Similarly, with the emergence of thin-film technologies in the solar cells market, new applications ranging from installations on curved surfaces to building-integrated PV has become possible. However, to meet the industry requirements for mass production, including low cost, manufacturing volumes and efficiency, many challenges still need to be addressed. These challenges for OPV, OLED and CIGs are scale-up from laboratory to mass production, selection of efficient manufacturing processes, employing inspection, control and measurement techniques to improve yield, quality and time-to-market. OLEDSOLAR aims to tackle these challenges by developinginnovative manufacturing processes for critical steps in the production of opto-electronic devices including OLEDs, OPVs and CIGs solar cells. The proposed activities include reconfigurable high yield (>10% improvement) processes to be scaled up, tested at pilot lines and implemented in production line for validation. A complete system of inspection, quality control, functional testing and measurements using advance system and sensors will be optimised in the project for efficient manufacturing of opto-electronics parts. Recycling and re-use strategies will be developed allowing resource efficiency and reduction of high value product wastes. Automation and advance processing software will be developed for overall control and monitoring of roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) manufacturing process. During 36 months, a multidisciplinary team of leading RTOs and industries in this field will dedicate their resources and effort to perform proposed activities in 8 WPs and guarantee the maximum impact of OLEDSOLAR project.

Increasing energy consumption, the depletion of natural resources, climate change and decreasing air quality are among the biggest economic and social challenges that we face today. At the same time, waste heat energy discharged into the atmosphere is one of the largest sources of clean, fuel-free and inexpensive energies available, with 70 % of all energy generated on a daily basis being lost as waste heat. Although technologies for converting waste heat into electrical energy have been around for a long time, such as thermoelectric and thermo-electrochemical cells, there is still no environmentally sustainable and efficient technology platform available for the viable harvesting of low-grade waste heat. There is therefore a clear need to develop an energy harvesting and conversion technology which has the potential to exceed the efficiency of current state-of-the-art devices whilst also utilising Earth-abundant materials. The central aim of TRANSLATE is therefore to develop a new proof-of-concept nanofluidic platform technology based on the flux of ions in nanochannels; leading to a breakthrough in versatile and sustainable energy harvesting and storage. Three breakthrough science and technology targets have been identified: 1) optimisation of ion movement and ion separation in nanochannels made from Earth-abundant materials, 2) the development of a sustainable and efficient heat-to-electrical energy platform and 3) the creation of a novel continuous operation energy harvesting power source with a high power/energy density and conversion efficiency. Expertise in materials science, nanofluidics, nanofabrication, thermoelectricity and electrochemistry is integrated on a pan-European level to achieve the overall aim of the project. The knowledge developed in TRANSLATE has the potential to reduce energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions on a local and global scale, thus improving citizens' quality of life and benefiting society.

Insect-mediated transmission of viruses is an increasing threat to public health and agricultural productivity in Europe and abroad. New strategies to disrupt transmission of viruses by insects are essential and will be facilitated by knowledge of infection processes and antiviral mechanisms. Most transmission cycles involve oral acquisition of viruses by insects, but knowledge of oral virus infections is limited. Here I propose the DmGAR project (Drosophila melanogaster gut antiviral responses) to provide the first detailed picture of oral virus infection processes in the insect gut. I aim to harness the experimental tractability of D. melanogaster to characterize the dynamics of and genetic responses to oral virus infection and to investigate the interface of viral infection with intestinal physiology. I hypothesize that stem cell-driven gut epithelium renewal is coordinated with immune mechanisms and is crucial for clearance of oral virus infections. To investigate this hypothesis and accomplish the objectives of DmGAR, I will bring my expertise in host-virus interactions to the Saleh laboratory to study oral infections with naturally infecting viruses of D. melanogaster. I will spatially and temporally define the kinetics and outcomes of infection, determine whether the viruses spread beyond the gut, and if escape from the gut influences infection outcome. Informed by these data, I will evaluate if virus infection impacts rates of epithelial cell death and/or proliferation in the gut and if blockage of epithelial cell turnover influences virus titer, infection outcome, or infection kinetics. I will complement these studies by profiling cell-type-specific gene expression and assaying activation of cell signaling pathways to develop a mechanistic model of the response to oral virus infection in the insect gut. Through these approaches, DmGAR will provide robust and biologically relevant data that will enhance understanding of natural virus infection processes
