A road toward safe artificial intelligence in mobility – Raimo
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is transforming the transportation sector, with autonomous vehicles representing a major disruptive innovation whose large-scale deployment remains uncertain. Despite ongoing real-world experimentation, broader acceptance and deployment are constraine
Surpass the Virus through Innovations in emergence – SURVIE
The Pandemic COVID-19 has impacted strongly the habitual activities in numerous sectors, such as healthcare, businesses, transportation services and educational institutions. With the end of confinement and the progressive return to professional on-site activity, there is an opportunity to innovate
FrEsh FooD sustainable paKaging in the cIrcular ecOnomy – FEDKITO
Quality and shelf life of fresh food (FF: fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy) are affected by microbial contamination and insect attacks, that may be exacerbated by non-optimal logistics at post-farming and retailer stages. FEDKITO proposes the use of chitosan (CHT) aromatized with essential oils (E
Exploring the P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux transport at the blood-brain barrier as a biomarker of drug-resistance in focal epilepsy – EPIFLUX
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological disorders, affecting approximately 65 million people worldwide. Seizures can be controlled by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in most cases. However, ~30% of patients have drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) and experience debilitating refractory seizures
Smart and innovative packaging, post-harvest rot management and shipping of organic citrus fruit – BiOrangePack
The overall objective of the project is to increase the efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness of the post-farming processing chain of organic citrus fruit, by intervening points of weakness and the unresolved problems of this supply chain. Consistently with the scope, specific objectives in
spreading of granular pastes: from the particle to end use properties – PASTFLOW
The objective should be realized by adequate modelling of the rheology of the granular paste on the basis of rheological tests, particle-based micro-structural experimental as well as simulation-based investigations. The main focus is on the development of microscale-based models, which predict the
Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Na Solid-sTate battERies – Na-MASTER
Limiting global warming requires major discoveries in energy storage technologies, leading to rechargeable batteries. The advanced synthesis and characterization techniques in synergy with modelling have enabled the discovery of materials by design, which we apply here. We will discover nanomaterial
COlloidal nanocrystal Plasmonic detector: a new paradigm for INfrared optoelectronics – COPIN
Colloidal nanocrystals are attracting an increasing interest since their recent introduction as light emitters for the last generation of displays. Their role in optoelectronics is expected to further develop, as several companies are diversifying the use of these nanoparticles for applications in o
Metabolic interactions between adipocytes and trypanosomes, a new paradigm for trypanosomiases – AdipoTryp
Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of HAT, was believed to spread exclusively in the fluids of its mammalian host. Breaking with this dogma, we recently shown that most parasites reside in the extravascular compartment, in particular the skin and adipose tissue, where they are in close contact
Towards a Better INtegration of the Aggressiveness of Road loads experienced bY wearing course – BINARY
The aim of the project is to develop more rational and scientific approaches for assessing the effect of traffic loads on wearing courses and for the design of these layers. To achieve these goals, the main mechanisms of deterioration of wearing courses under traffic loads, such as raveling, strippi
