AMELI aims to exploit the potential of the layer-by-layer approach of metal powder bed based additive manufacturing to blaze the way to a groundbreaking new design freedom in manufacturing: Voxel based material design. If successful, AMELI will solve one of the most important challenges in metal-based manufacturing of high performance components: Control and adaption of the local material properties. In order to reach this aim, AMELI will amalgamate the potential of powder bed based electron beam additive manufacturing (PBF-EL) with the analytic power of electron scanning microscopy (SEM). AMELI will to push the performance limits of components made of high performance alloys for demanding applications as required e.g. for aviation or power generation. The applications comprise components for aircraft and land-based gas turbines to increase the efficiency and to reduce emissions as well as parts for hydrogen generation for regenerative energy generation. Thus, AMELI will contribute to sustainable energy supply and mobility. Prerequisite to realize voxel based material design is to reach full control of the local thermal conditions during material creation. This requires numerical tools to predict the corresponding digital processes, the possibility to realize these processes and unparalleled process and material analysis for control. We target to accomplish this by combining cutting-edge process technology, forefront process modeling and unprecedented analysis based on electron inspection. AMELI is based on a pioneering PBF-EL technology to realize both, complex and very dynamic heat sources for local material property control and a probe for electron analysis leading to an unmatched depth of process information. Only this combination will eventually enable us to implement cutting-edge digital processes and process monitoring as fundament for closed-loop process control to demonstrate voxel based material design in complex high-performance components.

This project uses algebraic cycles and unramified cohomology to attack fundamental questions about the rationality, stable rationality and unirationality of rationally connected varieties, the integral Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties, as well as the Griffiths-Harris conjecture about curves on three-dimensional hypersurfaces. A breakthrough of Voisin, with improvements by Colliot-Thélène--Pirutka and myself, recently led to tremendous advances in our understanding of (stable) rationality of rationally connected varieties. For instance, this allowed me to solve the rationality problem for hypersurfaces under a logarithmic degree bound, improving previous linear bounds of Kollár and Totaro. This project pushes this circle of ideas further, aiming in particular at a solution of the rationality problem beyond my logarithmic bound. One of the most powerful (stable) birational invariants of smooth projective varieties is unramified cohomology. In general, this invariant is notoriously hard to compute and we aim to develop new tools which allow to compute unramified cohomology more efficiently. We will use this to analyse the third unramified cohomology of abelian varieties and of hypersurfaces in projective 4-space. By a result of Colliot-Thélène and Voisin, this will allow us to attack the integral Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties, and hence, by work of Voisin, the longstanding open problem whether cubic threefolds are stably rational, as well as an old conjecture of Griffiths and Harris concerning curves on three-dimensional hypersurfaces. We also introduce a cycle-theoretic approach, using the torsion order of symmetric products, to construct an obstruction for the unirationality of rationally connected varieties. We aim to use this to show that not every rationally connected variety is unirational, thereby solving a longstanding open problem in the field.

Our senses are gateways to the past. Although museums are slowly discovering the power of multi-sensory presentations, we lack the scientific standards, tools and data to identify, consolidate, and promote the wide-ranging role of scents and smelling in our cultural heritage. In recent years, European cultural heritage institutions have invested heavily in large-scale digitization. A wealth of object, text and image data that can be analysed using computer science techniques now exists. However, the potential olfactory descriptions, experiences, and memories that they contain remain unexplored. We recognize this as both a challenge and an opportunity. Odeuropa will apply state-of-the-art AI techniques to text and image datasets that span four centuries of European history. It will identify the vocabularies, spaces, events, practices, and emotions associated with smells and smelling. The project will curate this multi-modal information, following semantic web standards, and store the enriched data in a ‘European Olfactory Knowledge Graph’ (EOKG). We will use this data to identify ‘storylines’, informed by cultural history and heritage research, and share these with different audiences in different formats: through demonstrators, an online catalogue, toolkits and training documentation describing best-practices in olfactory museology. New, evidence-based methodologies will quantify the impact of multisensory visitor engagement. This data will support the implementation of policy recommendations for recognising, promoting, presenting and digitally preserving olfactory heritage. These activities will realize Odeuropa’s main goal: to show that smells and smelling are important and viable means for consolidating and promoting Europe’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

Web Accessibility Initiative – Communities of Practice (WAI-CooP) provides a unique model to support implementation of the international standards for digital accessibility, including the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the EN 301 549. WAI-CooP objectives are to: • Establish vendor-neutral overview on available training, tools, and resources internationally • Analyse technological advancements and coordinate with relevant research and development • Provide opportunities for key stakeholders to share resources and to exchange best practices WAI-CooP achieves this by building on the existing wealth of authoritative guidance available from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), to provide a one-stop shop for the broad spectrum of key stakeholders involved in the implementation of digital accessibility, including public bodies and private entities; organisations representing people with disabilities; product, service and training providers; researchers; and policy makers. WAI-CooP is uniquely positioned to establish necessary dialogs with key stakeholders to help exchange best practices in the community, provide technical clarification and guidance, and refine the authoritative guidance from W3C. WAI-CooP is also uniquely positioned and qualified to help ensure coordination and harmonisation of accessibility standards and practices, raise awareness and build technical capacities in Europe and internationally. WAI-CooP maximises its impact by utilising transparent and open processes of the W3C to invite all key stakeholders, and by integrating project results into relevant W3C standardisation and EDF networks, to ensure longer-term sustainability beyond the project. WAI-CooP provides direct support for European Union (EU) public bodies in the process of implementing the Web Accessibility Directive (WAD), while using a non-exclusive approach that benefits organisations and governments internationally wanting to implement digital accessibility.

Early diagnosis of diseases, including tumors, is the ultimate goal of biomedical imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique for non-destructive and non-invasive diagnosis of a number of diseases including cancer. Recently, contrast agents bearing 19F have been introduced as an attractive alternative to purely hydrogenated compounds, because of their high signal to noise ratio as result of their unique spectroscopic signature. This project aims to design, synthesize and characterize a series of novel fluorinated amphiphilic structures based on a fluoropolymer and a dendrimer (so called DendriGrafts, DGLs) based on poly-L-lysine. DGLs are a new type of arborescent biosynthetic polymer of regular and controlled structure. They have been shown to be biocompatible and non-immunogenic. It proposed that these DGLs to have potential as a powerful platform for the functionalization of hydrophobic polymers and to afford fluoropolymers for applications in 19F MRI. Combining DGLs and fluoropolymers in a good solvent for one of the blocks, is proposed to enable self-assembly of the amphiphiles into a variety of morphologies and molecular aggregates (including micelles, vesicles or cylinders). Increasing attention has been given to this type of supramolecular organization and to their potential use in applications such as coatings, drug delivery systems, nanoparticles or nanoreactors. Thus, this project will not only study the fundamental phenomena of self-organization of these novel copolymers but will also result in new materials suitable for application as novel agents in 19F MRI. Combining the complementary expertise from the Experienced Researcher in dendritic polymers, the host team in polymerization techniques and polymer self-assembly, a series of novel copolymer systems will be originally created in this project and finally studied by in vitro and in vivo.

Following recent mega-trends in the mobile and sharing economy and thanks to the latest ITS developments, “Mobility as a Service” is conceived as the way people will move themselves and their goods in the future. The “as a service” paradigm can be a real revolution when it is able to ensure higher continuity among the different means of transport, and enable offering combined mobility packages as a viable alternative to fragmented mobility and car ownership. Though some MaaS initiatives have already been tested in Europe, they encountered several obstacles in reaching scale and stable business operation. IMOVE will learn from such initiatives as UBIGO in Gothenburg or Hannovermobil, launched a decade ago in Hannover, and will step forward contributing to radically change mobility paradigms bringing in disruptive elements of mobility services. Innovative business and technology enablers will be investigated able to concretely put into action, accelerate and scale up the MaaS market deployment in Europe, ultimately paving the way for a “roaming” capability for MaaS users at the European level. IMOVE research and innovation action is based on investigation, development and validation of bottom up novel solutions able to define sound MaaS business models, smoothing their efficient and profitable service operation. A suite of ITS elements empowering MaaS schemes will be delivered by IMOVE, including technology components for real-time collection of fine-grained data on mobility user needs, habits and preferences as well as components enabling the exchange of information and enhancing seamless interoperability among different MaaS subsystems and multiple MaaS schemes. IMOVE solutions will be investigated and validated in 5 European Living Labs, currently engaged in or having plans for MaaS development. The participation of UITP will ensure active participation of PTAs as well as key private stakeholders from other sites and will further guarantee a multiplier effect.
