We have seen a number of AR Glasses introduced in the market in the past 3 to 4 years. Unfortunately these products were the result of a technology push by large players who failed to understand what the customer really requires. During the past 5 years we have developed a technology that will disrupt the AR Glasses market specifically the use of AR in Sports. Current AR Glasses fail in 3 departments: 1) They are bulky, large and cumbersome to wear, 2) they are too expensive (> €1000) and 3) they obstruct the field of view of the user with a bulky prism or monitor. Our competition failed to understand that users want an appealing set of glasses, at a reasonable price and ultimately it should feel comfortable when worn. This is why products such as the Google Glass have been shelved and discontinued. We have been working on our product from 2012 but instead of trying to fit a pair of glasses to a computer we developed and shaped our technology to fit in a pair of glasses. UNO Sport uses our own patented technology which is similar to the technology used in heads up displays for fighter jet pilots. Instead of having a display mounted in front of the lens, our technology ‘projects’ an image on the glass’s lens itself, thereby, the user has 0% obstruction of the real scene. Secondly with our technology we can project the ‘virtual’ image exactly at the centre of the screen instead of having to look at the bottom or side. Finally, we managed to slash the price of our product down to €399. During our feasibility study, we decided to focus our product on one particular sector – Sports. With the advent of many wearable technology and many Apps developed for this particular sector, we identified a very large and lucrative sector which is in dire need for a product that could ‘extend’ the smartphone’s display so they can see information while practicing their sport.

Adaptive behaviour is typically attributed to an executive-control system that allows people to regulate impulsive actions and to fulfil long-term goals instead. Failures to regulate impulsive actions have been associated with a variety of clinical and behavioural disorders. Therefore, establishing a good understanding of impulse-control mechanisms and how to improve them could be hugely beneficial for both individuals and society at large. Yet many fundamental questions remain unanswered. This stems from a narrow focus on reactive inhibitory control and well-practiced actions. To make significant progress, we need to develop new models that integrate different aspects of impulsive action and executive control. The proposed research program aims to answer five fundamental questions. (1) Can novel impulsive actions arise during task-preparation stages?; (2) What is the role of negative emotions in the origin and control of impulsive actions?; (3) How does learning modulate impulsive behaviour?; (4) When are impulsive actions (dys)functional?; and (5) How is variation in state impulsivity associated with trait impulsivity? To answer these questions, we will use carefully designed behavioural paradigms, cognitive neuroscience techniques (TMS & EEG), physiological measures (e.g. facial EMG), and mathematical modelling of decision-making to specify the origin and control of impulsive actions. Our ultimate goal is to transform the impulsive action field by replacing the currently dominant ‘inhibitory control’ models of impulsive action with detailed multifaceted models that can explain impulsivity and control across time and space. Developing a new behavioural model of impulsive action will also contribute to a better understanding of the causes of individual differences in impulsivity and the many disorders associated with impulse-control deficits.

Our programme will develop an innovative in-silico based approach to improve the efficacy and precision of drug repurposing trials. We have chosen drug repurposing as it has the shortest time for clinical validation and translation. Validation of all putatively de novo discovered drug repositionings within the time-frame of this programme would be unrealistic. To improve efficacy and precision, and to adopt our computer simulation parameters and models, we choose a systems medicine based in-silico approach that identifies mechanistically related disease phenotypes and, as a result, a virtual patient cohort. We then validate this in-silico drug repurposing via high precision clinical trials in patients with cerebro-cardiovascular phenotypes stratified using an exclusive mechanistic biomarker panel. We thus innovate two biomedical product classes, drugs and diagnostics. With this we will establish generally applicable in silico trials for other mechanistically related or defined disease phenotypes, for which size, duration, and risks will be reduced and precision increased. This generates rapid patient benefit, reduces drug development costs as well as risks, and enhances industrial competitiveness. Scientifically, we will contribute to reducing the uncertainty and vagueness of many of our current disease definitions that describe a symptom or apparent phenotype in an organ rather than defining diseases mechanistically as disturbance of self-regulation equilibria of biomolecular processes. Finally, we will reduce animal experimentation and animal numbers in general by applying a preclinical randomised confirmatory trial (pRCTs) concept and preclinical systematic reviews and meta-analyses facilitated by our open access pre-clinicaltrials.org platform, a pendant to clinicaltrials.gov.

Caraffee is the first insulated portable coffee maker that brews coffee using the mocha-espresso system at 1-2bars of pressure, resulting in a high-quality coffee. Natural oils are optimally emulsified and flavor is maintained, delivering a great drinking experience to users. The water boils directly inside the recipient by a high-efficient spiro-coiled resistor which minimizes the required energy. This innovative and patented design relies on the fact that the water reservoir encloses the inner coffee chamber, maximizing the space and thus, Caraffee is able to contain 10 times more liquid than other alternatives in the market. The external water reservoir acts as an insulating wall, once it is emptied and replaced by hot steam air. Caraffee is built with Food Grade Materials, following European regulations regarding products in contact with food and beverages. Unlike competitors, it is a versatile device, compatible with all sorts of coffee formats (grounded coffee and capsules) regardless the brand. Caraffee is 100% portable with a battery charged with 5V USB / 12V car charger. It has been carefully designed to solve the need of all coffee drinkers who spend time far from urban centers and coffee shops. It is an ally for all kind of outside professionals, vehicle-related workers, as well as for campers, adventure-sport doers and travelers. In parallel, DIY-consumption trend of millennial generation opens up a new market that can be satisfactorily addressed by Caraffee. We are establishing key synergies with stakeholders as Lavazza, DTL or Volvo-Ford to give Caraffee’ supply chain a robust commercialization strategy, selling it both as a stand-alone product and as added-value complement with their own products. Additionally, a variety of coffee blends as monthly supply for subscribers generates a loyalty relationship with customers and a recurring extra income. Caraffee trail-blazes the current coffee market, starting a new way coffee is consumed worldwide.

Urban and peri-urban agriculture (UA) has emerged as a more sustainable alternative to produce food. UA has several types of emerging systems (ES) that are exponentially growing from an experimental to an industrial scale of development. UA-ES include vertical farming, integrated greenhouse rooftops in buildings, local woodsheds, etc. UA-ES are expected to reach mature levels of development in the mid to long-term future and are being designed to recirculate and minimise the use of resources (e.g. nutrients, water, substrates and CO2) for production of low carbon intensity food in cities, among other benefits. Therefore, it is expected that UA-ES will provide more sustainable food production compared to rural, more-traditional agriculture systems in terms of energy and water use as well as benefits for air quality and biodiversity in cities. Understanding and quantifying the effective contribution that UA-ES will make to the environmental sustainability of cities requires the ability to both evaluate UA-ES environmental impacts in the future and to compare them to the impacts of traditional agriculture in the same future context. The project PROspecTive Environmental AssessmeNt of Urban Agriculture-Emerging Systems (PROTEAN) will focus on developing temporally-explicit environmental impact assessment models for both UA-ES and traditional agriculture to determine the extent to which UA-ES may contribute to the sustainability of future food production. These ex-ante, temporally-explicit environmental impact assessments will also help to flag influenceable system parameters that can make UA-ES more environmentally sustainable in the future. Thus, future undesired environmental impacts, costs, and effects may be more easily avoided for UA-ES than for mature agriculture systems. Providing assertive guidance on how to improve UA-ES depends on our current capacity to understand the key leavers of change that may drive the future impacts of these systems.

Stretchable electronics are highly attractive in various applications including wearable medical devices. However, most of the existing conducting materials used in electronics lack either high stretchability or high conductivity, largely limiting their applications. Inspired by the self-healing ability of skins, this project aims to develop next-generation conducting materials with combined high stretchability, high conductivity and intrinsic self-healing ability, based on novel graphene-supramolecular elastomer hybrids. The graphene-elastomer hybrids will be synthesised and investigated in depth for formulating the materials and obtaining a deep understanding of their mechanical, electrical and self-healing behaviour. Their application as stretchable electronics will be demonstrated by inkjet printing of the optimal material to form printed electrical circuits for wearable medical devices. These novel nanomaterials will significantly enhance the performance and lifetime of stretchable electronics as well as the design flexibility of future devices, whilst also facilitating the low-cost fabrication of electrical circuits through printing technologies.

CROSSCULT aims to make reflective history a reality in the European cultural context, by enabling the re-interpretation of European (hi)stories through cross-border interconnections among cultural digital resources, citizen viewpoints and physical venues. The project has two main goals. The first goal is to lower cultural EU barriers and create unique cross-border perspectives, by connecting existing digital historical resources and by creating new ones through the participation of the public. The second goal is to provide long-lasting experiences of social learning and entertainment that will help towards the better understanding and re-interpretation of European history. To achieve these goals, CROSSCULT will use cutting-edge technology to connect existing digital cultural assets and to combine them with interactive experiences that all together are intended to increase retention, stimulate reflection and help European citizens appreciate their past and present in a holistic manner. CROSSCULT will be implemented on 4 real-world flagship pilots involving a total of 8 sites across Europe. It will be realized through the participation of 11 partners and 14 associate partners including computer scientists, social sciences and humanity researchers, historians and private companies, from 7 European countries. The project will ensure continuous stakeholder involvement through a Living Lab and it will be supported by a concrete business plan. CROSSCULT is directly related to the work program since, on the one hand it re-purposes the use of digital cultural assets to stimulate a new shared culture of European history, one that moves from silos to unification, and on the other hand it boosts the development of new businesses that exploit the rich European digital cultural heritage.
