The WiMUST (Widely scalable Mobile Underwater Sonar Technology) project aims at expanding and improving the functionalities of current cooperative marine robotic systems, effectively enabling distributed acoustic array technologies for geophysical surveying with a view to exploration and geotechnical applications. Recent developments have shown that there is vast potential for groups of marine robots acting in cooperation to drastically improve the methods available for ocean exploration and exploitation. Traditionally, seismic reflection surveying is performed by vessel towed streamers of hydrophones acquiring reflected acoustic signals generated by acoustic sources (either towed or onboard a vessel). In this context, geotechnical surveying for civil and commercial applications (e.g., underwater construction, infrastructure monitoring, mapping for natural hazard assessment, environmental mapping, etc.) aims at seafloor and sub-bottom characterization using towed streamers of fixed length that are extremely cumbersome to operate. The vision underlying the WiMUST proposal is that of developing advanced cooperative and networked control / navigation systems to enable a large number (tens) of marine robots (both on the surface and submerged) to interact by sharing information as a coordinated team (not only in pairs). The WiMUST system may be envisioned as an adaptive variable geometry acoustic array. By allowing the group of surface and submerged vehicles to change their geometrical configuration, an end-user can seamlessly change the geometry of the ”virtual streamer” trailing the emitter, something that has not been achieved in practice and holds potential to drastically improve ocean surveying. The project brings together a group of research institutions, geophysical surveying companies and SMEs with a proven track record in autonomous adaptive and robust systems, communications, networked cooperative control and navigation, and marine robot design and fabrication.

ACCSESS – providing access to cost-efficient, replicable, safe and flexible CCUS. Main objectives: 1)Demonstrate, at TRL7, and integrate cost-efficient CO2 capture and use in industrial installations, to enable permanent Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) 2)Provide access routes for CO2 captured from European industries to the flexible transport and storage infrastructures under development in the North Sea 3)Leverage on CDR to drive societal integration of CCUS towards urban and European sustainability ACCSESS takes a cross-sectorial approach, addressing Pulp and Paper, Cement, Waste to Energy, and Biorefining, that all have the potential to contribute to CDR. ACCSESS will test at TRL7 the combination of an environmentally benign, enzymatic solvent (regenerated at 80oC) and a Rotary Packed Bed (RPB) absorber. Tests at 2 tpd CO2 captured will be done at a pulp and paper mill in Sweden and a cement kiln in Poland. Recarbonation of demolition concrete fines will be demonstrated at TRL7 (CCU). CCUS chains from inland Europe and the Baltics to the North Sea will be developed and optimized, with an open-source tool. Low pressure ship-based CO2 transport (7 bar) for 50% cost cuts is developed, and also safe CO2 loading and offloading. The ACCSESS concept is centred around the project vision to Develop replicable CCUS pathways towards a Climate Neutral Europe in 2050. ACCSESS will improve CO2 capture integration in industrial installations (20-30% cost cuts) as a key element to accelerate CCUS implementation, address the full CCUS chain and the societal integration of CCUS. ACCSESS has the ambition unleash the ability of CCUS to contribute to the ambitious EU Green Deal transformation strategy. The project is dedicated to developing viable industrial CCUS business models. ACCSESS will engage with citizens and citizens, explaining how CCUS can contribute to the production of climate neutral or climate positive end-products in a sustainable cities' context.

The world’s languages differ in how they conceptualize events central to the human experience, such as motion and change of state, by means of constructions. This project investigates the expression of these meanings in four major European languages, English, German, Polish and Spanish. The aim is (i) to identify, through a fine-grained study of corpus data, the language-internal factors (semantic, morpho-syntactic, etc.) underlying cross-linguistic variation, including differences that can be observed in languages considered to be typologically related and (ii) to implement the findings in foreign language acquisition by developing a comprehensive pedagogical grammar of constructions. Consistently, this proposal involves three main phases. The first one consists of data collection and description. The second one is dedicated to data interpretation in the light of the theories concerned with verbal constructions and typological variation, namely Construction Grammar (Goldberg 1995) and Talmy’s (2000) typology of macro-events. In particular, it will be claimed that the typology of languages, as proposed by Talmy (2000), is in fact an epiphenomenon of a typology of constructions whose distribution in the world’s languages is constrained, among others, by the availability of grammatical devices, such as verb prefixes, verb particles, prepositions, etc. The third phase proceeds with translating the theoretical results into a user-friendly multi-lingual grammar of constructions, which permits to elucidate certain high-level morpho-syntactic generalizations, invisible in the prevailing verb-centred teaching materials. Therefore, the findings of this investigation would be an innovative contribution both to the theoretical debate on linguistic diversity and to the cross-linguistic communication in a broad sense, which seems to be especially relevant in the modern world characterized by close relationships between languages and cultures.

3D printing has become a ubiquitous industrial production method, with multiple vertical markets being involved, including healthcare, automotive or aeronautic industries which routinely print a myriad of products, from hearing aids to the engine of a car. The professional desktop 3D printing represents the next printing revolution, as shown by the staggering 50-70% of these printers being sold to companies, especially small businesses run by engineers or designers to get early concept design. The reason is these machines are becoming more reliable, but they ultimately lack the functionality and usability that would be needed to become a real mainstream technology. Plasmics was founded with the sole goal to overcome these limitations, by creating the disruptive Local Production Unit (LPU), from which KOBOLD is the first product we are developing and plan to commercialize. Functionality is achieved thanks to KOBOLD's multi-material versatile printing capability, thanks to our modular cartridge system (patented) allowing printing complex objects using as many materials as cartridges are coupled to the printer. Up to 5 cartridges can be coupled to KOBOLD, with the additional advantage of being able to upgrade KOBOLD with new materials as they become available, instead of having to invest on a new printer or acquiring extra technical capabilities. Usability is achieved because KOBOLD does not require prior expertise in 3D printing to unfold its full potential, thanks to its user-friendly online software platform enabling the user to store, slice their designs and to keep their IP and collected models safe, while allowing object printing from any device and from anywhere. With KOBOLD, we anticipate to grow our company's revenue to €13.8 million by 2025, whilst creating 20 new direct jobs. To this end, we envisage a business model where besides the revenue generated from KOBOLD, cartridge sales will represent an important source of income too.

Navarra is a region with more than 272 municipalities, 640,000 inhabitants and it is member of the Euroregion Aquitaine- Basque Country - Navarra. Navarra has made a great effort to advance in the development of renewable energy in recent years: 20 percent of the energy currently consumed in Navarra comes from renewables. And now Navarra has developed a very ambitious energy plan for the region "Navarra for 2030" which integrates 4 objectives linked with the reduction of CO2 emissions, the increase in percentage of renewables, maintaining security in energy supply and reducing energy poverty. Such objectives are to be achieved through technological innovation, management innovation and innovation in financial models. Our project SustaiNAVility intends to work as a promoter of this plan in the area of energy efficiency, in particular supporting the goal of the plan of "Reducing 30% consumption of primary energy with respect to the figures projected by the EU for 2020 in energy efficiency". This 3-year project has the general objective to promote under the umbrella of the energy plan of Navarra, energy efficiency in the region of Navarra in 3 target groups: public entities (municipalities and public buildings), private buildings (citizens) and enterprises, promoting an investment of 16.3 million euros in renewable and energy efficiency. The concept of SustaiNAVility is the utilisation of the regional grants as boosters or drivers of the energy efficiency related investments, in projects incorporating the state of the art in technology and new funding schemes. The current project will have to face the following four challenges: - Technological innovation. - New services and funding schemes. - Business opportunities. - Citizenship involvement.

The main question that guides this research project is: what can Europe learn about its past and present film archiving and heritage practices through collections kept abroad? Focusing on Latin America, the objective of this Fellowship is to identify how the dissemination of European film heritage informs past and present archival practices, and the understanding of both European identity and its representations. It will analyse a decade (1948–1959) of circulation of films between both continents shaped by the creation of Cinematheques affiliated with the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). It will concentrate, more specifically, on the film exchanges between the Cinémathèque Française and the Cinematheques of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Nowadays, especially for younger generations, it is difficult to imagine the way films travelled in the 1950s. To gain a better understanding of why these four institutions entered this exchange circuit, it is necessary to analyse the actual corpus, especially now that digital technologies are making these films visible again. Adopting an inter-archival and multilingual methodology, which expands cross-continentally, this Fellowship will emphasise the transnational dimensions of film and to highlight the common connections between archival collections around the world. This innovative approach will demonstrate the value of analysing the history of exhibition abroad to review and complement the European film histories written until now. A thorough study of these channels of European film dissemination will also help to understand past European film archiving and heritage practices in order to assist present institutional and policy-making decisions related to film preservation, exhibition and accessibility more broadly.

Singularity AG is a medical device company created in 2012, in Zürich. The inspiration driving the company was to design an advanced unique 2nd generation Supraglottic Airway Device (SAD). The original design of “Singularity SAD” offers an innovative, versatile, cheaper and safer alternative compared to the current static SADs. It avoids unnecessary risks and complications associated to insertion, maintenance and manipulation of patients under anesthesia and can be used in most situations requiring airway management. Two different series of SAD have been developed, the SAD Air and the SAD Compact, different parts of which have been patented for diverse uses and licensed in several countries. All pieces of these devices have been specifically designed to allow for the full mechanization of production, which ensures a competitive price using cost-effective manufacturing technologies. The shareholders of Singularity AG are Mr. Werner Dubach and Mr. Fabio Hausammann, who have an extensive experience in the production of devices and have developed Singularity in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Markus Weiss, who completed the team with his medical expertise. The Singularity project has received the support of relevant companies and institutions for its development, which has motivated the current TRL 6. The “all-in-one functional design” of Singularity SADs makes it a universal tool that covers all the functions offered by the other SADs. The demand for this type of device is estimated at more than 150 million units per year. The wide range of applications and extended use under anesthesia ensure the massive and continuous use of SADs. The functionality of Singularity has been successfully tested using the SAD Air prototype in the prestigious Schulthess Klinik (Zürich), which has an experienced anesthesiology team. The unit at size 4 has been fully produced for validation in clinical tests, showing excellent results in an initial study with 10 patients.

The main expected impact of this proposal is the better understanding of corporate Research & Development (R&D) efforts in relation to the green deal and sustainability objectives, starting from the top R&D investors in their global competitiveness perspective. For this, the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboards will be developed towards a more meaningful tool regarding the directionality of corporate Research & Innovation (R&I), and systematically include additional indicators, triggering change of its use and change in industry, becoming complementary to the sustainable finance taxonomy. A key aspect here is that, under leadership of JRC.B3, the project will exploit JRC-internal synergies (within Directorates B and C) for covering the global R&I competitiveness picture and adding relevant and more specific information regarding energy and transport as key sectors for the new priorities. Policy impact will also benefit from enhanced co-creation between the project partners.

Circulation changes are at the heart of changes in both regional precipitation and temperature and extreme events ranging from heavy precipitation to heat waves or cold spells. Understanding and modelling circulation changes in a warming climate therefore constitutes an emerging challenge for climate science. General circulation models still struggle to represent important features of the large-scale circulation in the present-day climate, which undermines confidence in future projections. The present project is to combine a small-scale process-level with a large-scale dynamical perspective to investigate how drag processes at the Earth's surface associated with boundary-layer turbulence, orography and gravity waves affect large-scale circulation. Our aim is to develop a climatological view of the distribution and variability of individual components of surface drag as represented in general circulation models and to understand which processes or model parametrisations are responsible for current model biases especially in the representation of mid-latitude storm tracks.
