LabAniTrans will detail the emergence and enactment of standard care practices for laboratory-housed animals since WWII. In doing so, it will construct the first comprehensive account of animal transportation care insofar as it relates to biomedical conduct. The project will synthesize two hitherto separate arenas of intellectual inquiry: historical investigation into the practice and development of inter-species care practices, and historical concern with the spatial dynamics of scientific objects of investigation. Whilst both of these themes have found prominence in the emerging field of animal studies, there is as yet little explicit appreciation of how they might productively intersect and/or diverge. In demonstrating ways in which notions of human-animal care alter spatial dynamics and vice versa, LabAniTrans will help set a new agenda within animal studies. This agenda will supplement existing conceptions of scientific infrastructures as co-constituted by objects of science alongside scientists, institutions, and wider economies. Drawing on on archival and published empirical data relating to laboratory animal transportation, LabAniTrans will examine two mid-late twentieth-century trends in laboratory animal science: a) the emergence of laboratory animal science as a key prompt for the articulation and standardization of live animal transportation care practices, and b) the emergence within biomedical science of systematic recognition that shipping conditions and their effects can alter experimental results. These trends will be explored through comparative analysis of state-funded laboratories, infrastructural practices and regional administrative norms in North America and Europe, with a particular focus on three state institutions (in Britain, West Germany, and Iowa (US)) in which they initially emerged. LabAniTrans will thereby begin to unpack the 'black box' of contemporary animal care infrastructures.

Product-service solutions are not a novelty for manufacturing domain, in particular for Europe. Services are becoming more and more not just an optional adjunct to products, but they are integral part of manufacturing industries’ offer, able to differentiate the product value proposition, to take a significant part of the revenue stream and even to substitute the traditional selling of products with more innovative service-oriented business models. There are still 5 main obstacles which are currently preventing service innovation to be pervasively adopted by all EU manufacturing industries, SMEs included: I. Products and Services : How to preserve the specific characteristics of product and services in a value chain, without creating isolated and not interconnected walled gardens? II. Design and Manufacturing: How to reconcile Real World and Digital World in PLM allowing multi-directional interoperability of the digital images of the same product between design-manufacturing? III. Knowledge and Sentiment: How to consider both professional knowledge and crowd sentiments, trying to mediate extreme product-push and market-pull positions? IV. Service-Oriented and Event-Driven: How to create a generic conceptual and implementation framework which could identify and implement the interoperability points between SOA and EDA in PLM value chain systems? V. Business and Innovation: How to reconcile current profitable and competitive product-oriented business models with more intangible, risky, service-oriented and Internet-based businesses? PSYMBIOSYS aims at improving the competitiveness of European Manufacturing industries by developing an innovative product-service engineering environment, symbolized by a five-pointed symbiosis star – design-production, product-service, knowledge-sentiment, EDA-SOA, business-innovation – and able to dramatically reduce the time-to-market of more attractive and sustainable product-service solutions.

Increasing physical activity (PA) is currently widespread among the population. Thus, in addition to the professional, the amateur and the physically inactive persons being engaged for many different reasons, PA is considered a major driver for optimal health achievement throughout life. Many adopters, either at a professional or an amateur level, are able to spend part of non-legible monetary resources looking for maximum performance. It is widely known and scientifically accepted that one of the most influential factors for full achievement of PA benefits, apart from adequate training, is a proper diet. All athletes tend to follow specific diets according to the type of sport performed, but still, not everyone responds the same way to the same type of intake. Interestingly, when consumers are directed to perform PA, either by self-initiative or as directed by providers (health care or recreational), the dietary advice is often misleading, without profound knowledge of general metabolism or adaptation to exercise. Thus, the personalized dietary approaches, followed for weight control, have not been adopted in response to PA. In this framework, the major goal of the present project is to generate scientific evidence for further development of personalized nutrition tools towards PA. For this purpose, we will adopt the following approach: Volunteers will follow an standardized PA(e.g. running, swimming or cycling) and blood sampling will be obtained by minimally invasive systems, both before (pre) and after (post) exercise. Samples thus obtained will be analysed by mass-spectrometry based metabolomic approaches and the expert system to be developed will help to classify changes in each volunteer in any of the metabolomic clusters. A personalized advice towards PA and dietary changes will be recommended to the volunteer, which will adopt it and repeat the analyses, to ascertain whether the expected changes occur.

The aim of STEFY project is to facilitate SMEs and large companies in the food safety testing with a new portable device, particularly effective and economically convenient to regularly self-check food safety. STEFY device main innovation lies on the ability to quickly determine and simultaneously quantify the presence/absence of dozens of molecules for on-site applications. This is due to the newly developed cartridges: glass substrate with advanced anti-reflection coatings combined with functionalized nanoparticles for an optimal signal amplification resulting in a competitive assay. The technology used is based on the Reflective Phantom Interface, an innovative methodology patented by Proxentia, which has been already extensively tested and compared with already existing strategies. The key competitive features of the STEFY tester are several: reduced test duration; simultaneous broad-spectrum monitoring; on-site applicability; versatility; low cost. The outcomes of the STEFY project will: a) facilitate opportune procedures for prevention and/or damage containment; b) reduce risks related to the introduction of potentially dangerous material; c) reduce the use of laboratories to only the most relevant cases; d) reduce the costs while improving quality (lower level of residuals on the product and a reduced environmental impact. With this project the objective is to launch the tester device with customized cartridges in the European market as a fast, reliable and cost-effective way to assess food safety. The current technology readiness level of STEFY project is TRL 7 and it aims at reaching TRL 8-9 by Phase 3. The financing from Phase 2 will provide STEFY with key suggestions on how to upscale and customize the device to best fit different application-fields, insights on the tools for marketing and structuring a sales force.

According to the World Water Council (WWC), by the year 2050, our energy needs will have increased by approximately 60%. Understanding the interactions between water and energy is important to further develop our water security. It is estimated that 15% of world-wide water use is for industrial purpose and industrial water pollution is a major source of damage to ecosystems and human health throughout the world. Sustainable water management is recognised as a priority for several industry sectors and is vital to reduce water and energy use. The development of evaporation technologies together with the use of renewable energies becomes a promising solution to get rid of the fossil dependence and met the European Union combined targets for water and energy sustainably, but additional effort is required from both industries in order to market uptake low cost and energy efficient water treatment solutions in the mid-term. On the other side, the global water and wastewater (W&WW) generation market revenue is estimated in 3.5 Billion Euros by 2017 with a CAGR of 5.6%. The previous scenario have encouraged Hydro Italia SRL, an environmental oriented company with 20 years of experience in the water field, to develop the SolardeSaLt solution. SolardeSalt is a medium size water evaporation system which employs evaporation technology coupled with hybrid PV-Thermal (PVT) panels to produce desalinated water. This technology will significantly improve the present techno-economic efficiency (industrial evaporators efficiency is around 90-95%) of high capacity solar evaporation systems and therefore, reduce the cost of water production from 35 to 40% .SolardeSalt will be focused on the W&WW treatment solutions field, which was represented by a market share of 2 Billion EUR in 2012 . Furthermore, Hydro Italia presents the support of EndeF Engineering, a PVT panel supplier, to provide their PVT hybrid solar panels to test the pilot version of SolardeSaLt.

Continuum mechanics represents one of the most important research fields in applied sciences and engineering. Numerical simulation is increasingly prominent in this field, which forms the natural ground for application of very recent techniques of numerical analysis and scientific computing. In the last decades, the simulation of multiphysics problems, where different models interact to describe a complex phenomenon, has received a lot of interest. The current project is framed in this spirit, with the double aim of advancing in the numerical simulation techniques as well as in the improved understanding of the physics in the application field. As main line of work, we treat mathematical and practical aspects of models for nonlinear poroelasticity, with an emphasis on stable numerical discretizations and the use of fast solvers for the highly efficient solution of the resulting algebraic systems. Regarding the practical aspects, we focus on the simulation of the deformation of reservoirs during the carbon dioxide injection stage. In this innovative proposal, we also develop efficient methods for uncertainty quantification in order to assess the risks involved in such process and to evaluate the impact on the environment. The cooperation between Professors Francisco Gaspar and Cornelis Oosterlee goes back 20 years, when they met (as young and fresh) researchers in FhG SCAI in Germany, and cooperated very successfully on multigrid methods. Then, both researchers went their own way (one in Spain, the other in the Netherlands). Now, both being almost 50 years of age, it is important to cooperate closely again, at Oosterlee’s host institution in the Netherlands. Prof. Gaspar is willing to come over to Amsterdam for two years, to boost the research and open new research directions, such as uncertainty quantification.

Ageing research has primarily focused on somatic deterioration of individuals during their lifetimes; intergenerational effects have been little studied. In this project I address this gap, in the process bringing together currently discrete lines of research from evolutionary ecology and reproductive biology: 1) A large body of research in population biology shows that there can be a negative relationship between parental age at breeding and offspring lifespan. It has been postulated that the magnitude of the effect is exacerbated when offspring experience harsher conditions, particularly in early life. The causes and time-course of this so-called ‘Lansing effect’ are unclear - is it due to higher lifetime frailty of offspring, a faster ageing rate, or both, and how is it affected by the environmental conditions that they face? 2) Telomere loss and mitochondrial dysfunction in somatic cells are two recognised, interconnected, ‘Hallmarks of Ageing’ linked to individual performance and longevity. Experimental work, mostly in fertility research, has shown that the eggs of older mothers frequently have reduced mitochondrial function and shorter average telomere lengths. The life-course outcome of this gametic impairment for the offspring has not been studied. Using the zebra finch, this challenging, high-gain, project tests for the first time the hypothesis that the negative effect of maternal age on offspring performance and ageing rate is due to lifelong, intertwined changes in offspring mitochondrial function and telomere length, and is exacerbated in offspring experiencing increased early life stress. Knowing why, when, and under what conditions maternal age has a negative effect on offspring health and longevity has important implications for our understanding of ageing, life history evolution, reproductive scheduling and mate choice; it also has profound consequences for more applied fields such as reproductive medicine and conservation biology.

The use of light to trigger and control radical polymerisation is a powerful strategy for rational polymer synthesis and advanced materials. Photoinitiated polymerisation is today widely used in industry for several applications. Essential for the continued progress of the field is the discoveries of novel photoinitiators endowed with tailored properties, such as high activity at ambient temperature and the possibility to use visible light instead of UV irradiation to produce radicals in high quantum yields. Using visible light is essential for domestic applications, as there would be no hazards related to exposure to UV light. Light-COAT aims at preparing new visible-light-activated photoinitiators and evaluate their potential for the formulation of domestic coating compositions. As part of the ERC-2015-CoG project CATA-LUX (681840), focused on developing photochemical synthetic methodologies, we recently identified a family of visible-light-absorbing organic compounds with high potential to act as photoinitiators for polymer applications. These photoinitiators can be easily synthesised, are activated by weak light, including solar light or simple light-emitting-diodes, provide access to colourless polymeric materials, and have shown potential for applications in domestic indoor/outdoor coatings. These unique features make this novel family of photoinitiators suitable to enhance convenience in use (reduced drying time and improved weatherproof feature), offering a strong opportunity to improve domestic coating formulations.
