As the human population surges towards 10 billion, the production and consumption of aquaculture products such as fish is expanding. Efficient and environmentally sustainable practices are therefore required to ensure long-term food security. To solve these challenges, attractive solutions include developing new feed ingredients and better broodstock genetics to improve fish production and welfare. Intriguingly, it has been shown that both feed and host genetics can modulate the microbiome of animals and thus influence its integral connection to host phenotype. The ambitious aim of ImprovAFish is to decipher the intimate functional coupling along the feedmicrobiome-host axis in an applied context, with the emphasis on a promising ‘next generation’ functional feed ingredient (beta-mannan) that is known to promote beneficial microbiota in production animals, including promising preliminary data in fish.

AquaTime is a new IoT-enabled solution to monitor and motivate elderly people and provide an overview for caretakers of the hydration status of elderly citizens. The solution is aimed at the public healthcare sector. The objective of this project is to define, develop and test a specific version of AquaTime that fulfils most wishes and requirements of the eldercare sector in Extremadura, Spain. The developed solution will be able to assist all types of end-users (elderly citizens, caretakers and public decision makers) to reduce the number of elderly citizens that suffer from dehydration, and thereby provide a sustainable smart solution for aging well. The economic efficacy of the developed solution will be shown via a business case. The project is done in cooperation between two Danish SMEs, one Portuguese SME and one end-user organisation in Spain.

We will develop multiphysics software (SW) for modelling complex dynamic behaviour of advanced nuclear reactors, particularly molten salt reactors (MSRs). The tool will provide high performance computing (HPC) techniques, and regulatory compliance through highly accurate and reliable calculations. The SEALION SW suite will disrupt the current need for regulatory system reformation by allowing licensing of MSRs under current systems, thereby accelerating the commercialisation of MSRs

The project brings together the necessary competences to build high-performing thermoelectric modules based on already developed and patented high-performing thermoelectric materials. To bring these modules to the market it is necessary to develop barrier and sintering layers combined with an understanding of the involved deteriorating mechanisms at the fundamental level. The result will be a production platform capable of producing robust, high-efficient thermoelectric modules to the market. The IPR holding company TEGnology is in a unique situation where a technology push is not needed since there is already a market pull for thermoelectric modules from end-users such as Volvo, marine diesel, combined heat & power, etc. that would like to convert excess heat to electricity. The only thing missing for successfully market introduction is up scaling, development and characterization of barrier layers and a production platform. This can be accomplished through the involved partner

The NORDTREAT project will build on the achievements within recent large-scale European initiatives that includes cross-disciplinary collaborations between academia, hospitals, biomedical companies and patient organisations. The overall aim is to improve Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients' prognosis and quality of life by introducing a novel personalized medicine algorithm that is based on recently generated -omics data. IBD is a disease entity of unknown origin, characterized by a chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is increasing, especially among teenagers, and today 0.5-1% of the Nordic population is affected. The disease course varies from an indolent course to an aggressive, treatment refractory disease, with need of repeated hospital admissions, surgery and increased risk of comorbidity including cancer. Thus, IBD have severe consequences for many affected individuals, including life-long medication, hospitalizations, recurring sick-leaves, and surgic

TOP-UP studies and develops effective ways through which local TOP-down initiated energy projects can function as catalysators for bottom-UP energy initiatives and cooperation within and between local energy communities, as to achieve ambitious regional climate and energy goals. More concretely, TOP-UP will identify and optimize district-specific transformational changes through advanced dynamic modelling of fixed and controllable demand, storage and supply, which considers key characteristics of a district and its people. In addition, to increase acceptability and engage local communities, TOP-UP builds on successful national projects on community initiatives (by project partners), which provide platforms that facilitate active participation and cooperation in the local energy community. TOP-UP specifically aims to identify how the tailoring of top-down initiated transformational changes and creating awareness about these changes being tailor-made for a specific region and

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food sectors in the world. In order to guarantee continuous, efficient and sustainable production and to safeguard the growth of this important sector, its protection from biological threats is crucial. Within the AquaHealth project, an international consortium of highly experienced partners will assemble and apply an advanced meta'omics toolbox on the natural synergy of microalgae and microbial consortia associated with fish to discover and validate novel bioactive and prebiotic candidates for sustainable use in preventing and treating disease in land-based aquaculture systems. Targeted classes include biofilm and microbial pathogens inhibiting enzymes, peptides and small molecules, and antiviral drugs such as reverse-transcriptase inhibitors.

The project aims to co-create an adjuvant rehabilitation self-training to be performed by elderlies between the caregivers’ visits. This improved version of DigiRehab will not only enable caregivers to deliver physical training, but also empowers elderlies to complement the rehabilitation therapy using an intuitive app, promoting their autonomy and motivation, potentiating the rehabilitation results and significantly reducing costs for homecare organisations. The eLIFE project will develop this improved version of DigiRehab platform through the assessment of user and market needs, co-creation of a user interface in workshops and small pilots, and ICT research and prototyping. The co-creation will take place with user-groups in Denmark, Netherlands and Austria. The potential is thus a scalable solution able to reach and extend the footprint of clinical teams and effectively reduce home-care assistance time spent and corresponding associated costs.

Science and lab skills are essential to solve some of the world’s largest problems. However access to performing laboratory exercises is limited, and it is rarely possible for learners to experiment with state-of-the art equipment and learn from mistakes. Our suite of foundational Biology labs in VR will create new immersive virtual lab experiences that will empower learners beyond traditional settings, setting new standards for learning lab practices in a safe, cost-effective and exciting way.

Please see upload Rheumatoid arthritis (RA, life-time risk around 2%) entails a considerable burden for affected individuals (pain, reduced life-span, reduced function, reduced quality of life), for health-care, and for society (reduced work ability, and treatment costs that currently accounts for almost 10% of the total drug expenditure). Delayed or ineffective treatment leads to joint destruction, co-morbidities, and increased mortality. RA demonstrates a striking heterogeneity in terms of clinical presentation, response to treatment, and clinical outcomes. Emerging data suggest that RA is not one disease but comprised by subsets with distinct etiologies, which may explain the difficulties in predicting disease course, treatment response, and long-term outcomes. So far we treat by tradition and try different treatments in a rather random fashion and often too late, despite the increasing number of different, and still expensive, medicines that have become available in rout

The project aims at field evaluation of a flexibility approach, integrating energy in various forms (combined heat, natural gas, district heat) at a community-wide level, including a market mechanism for exchange of grid flexibility beyond the local region, professional grade supervision solutions and cyber-security assessments. Local community stakeholders in Wunsiedel will be involved from the start of the project through co-creation activities, to ensure relevance of the project developments in the local context. Project partners partners from Norway and Denmark are well embedded in local stakeholder networks (DK: iEnergi) and will host workshops aimed at reflecting and adopting experience from national stakeholders as well as enabling later national replication and possible assimilation of project results and insights. We will formulate, assess and demonstrate a real-world sector coupling scenario at SWW via a integrated local and regional flexibility market.
