EOSC Beyond: advancing innovation and collaboration for research

EOSC Beyond overall objective is to advance Open Science and innovation in research in the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) by providing new EOSC Core capabilities allowing scientific applications to find, compose and access multiple Open Science resources and offer them as integrated capabilities to researchers. To do so, EOSC Beyond supports a new concept of EOSC: a federated and integrated network of Nodes operated at different levels, national, regional, international and thematic, to serve the specific scientific missions of their stakeholders. Further specific objectives of the project are to accelerate ‘time to product’ of new scientific applications with software adapters, enable Open Science with machine composability and dynamic deployment of shared resources, support innovation in EOSC with a testing and integration environment, and align the EOSC Core architecture and specifications to integrate with European dataspaces. The project extends the state of the art of the EOSC Core and adopts a co-design methodology, including requirements elicitation, software development and validation in collaboration with different use cases from EOSC national and regional initiatives (e-Infra CZ, Czechia, NFDI, Germany, and NI4OS, South East Europe region), thematic research infrastructures from Social Sciences and Humanities (CESSDA), Life Sciences (CNB-CSIC and Instruct-ERIC), Environmental Science (ENES and LifeWatch), and Health and Food (METROFood-RI). EOSC Beyond builds on the capacities of prospective EOSC Nodes and partners with multi-annual experience in developing solutions for large-scale federated digital infrastructures and aligns with the technical architecture and requirements of data spaces from different business sectors. Ultimately, EOSC Beyond supports Open Science in modern, data-intensive, and multidisciplinary research, facilitating resource discovery, access, and reuse across scientific communities, organisations, and countries. 

CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.   To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.  All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

AQUASERV – RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES FOR SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE, FISHERIES AND THE BLUE ECONOMY

The overarching objectives of AQUASERV are to bring together, enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities (including facilities, instruments and expertise) and through the provision of transnational access (on-site or remote) and/or virtual access, to significantly further scientific advance and promote and facilitate the implementation of European Common Fisheries Policy, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Sustainable Blue Economy and the European Green Deal.   AQUASERV will achieve these objectives by offering scientists from academia and business remote and on-site transnational (TA) and virtual (VA) access to an advanced set of European research infrastructures and its nodes related to research and management of marine and freshwater biological resources, food and biotechnology. These include the European Marine Biological Resource Centre ERIC (EMBRC), the Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems ERIC, The Aquaculture for Excellence for Aquaculture in Fish (Aquaexcel), and the Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition (METROFOOD), as well as the International Council for Exploration of the Sea, both a service provider and stakeholder. It also includes the Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation Policy Studies (RISIS) to bring contributions from the social sciences and to bring results nearer to policy makers ensuring societal impact.   To enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities, collaboration between partners and new pipelines to meet the objectives of the project will be developed during the first 3 years and will make available  to users.  To ensure these capacities will not be lost, a sustainability work package involving stakeholders will address the project legacy.    To maximize impact, AQUASERV will build a communication network among the partnership and develop a dissemination and outreach programme. Furthermore, an advanced training programme will be developed to capture future users and will be updated during the p

Harmonization of Advanced Materials Ecosystems serving strategic Innovation Markets to pave the way to a Digital Materials & Product Passport

The overarching objective of DigiPass is to enhance the digital maturity of the European communities that develop materials and intermediate products. The project will develop recommendations and clear routes toward digitalized circular business models. The overarching key result of DigiPass is to create a sustainable platform which includes support for Digital Materials & Product Passport and for collaborative innovation-by-design processes in a circular economy served by advanced materials. A business model for operating such a platform completes the overarching objective. DigiPass is harmonizing and synergizing collected materials data sources and digital infrastructures. This will enable interoperability of data exchange, and standardization of advanced materials knowledge representation at all maturity levels. Accelerating the design, development, and production of advanced, safe, and sustainable chemicals and materials, as they are necessary for innovative products, calls for a collaborative approach involving different stakeholders to support durability, repair and overhaul, reuse, and recyclability of products. DigiPass project impacts all materials development communities over the whole circular value chain.  

EOSC-ENTRUST: A European Network of TRUSTed research environments

The mission of EOSC-ENTRUST is to create a European network of trusted research environments for sensitive data and to drive European interoperability by joint development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis.  Countries and institutions have made significant investments in secure and trusted data environments to meet the need for research and policy-driven analysis of sensitive datasets such as people's health and socio-economic status, the habitats of vulnerable species and geo-spatial locations of protected sites. There are now a large number of such secure environments in operation - linked to national centres, individual organisations or specific research communities. This fragmented landscape poses challenges for both users and providers: researchers are faced with a large number of different systems and access procedures; providers need to manage federated access across multiple, potentially incompatible, technology and governance frameworks. EOSC-ENTRUST brings together providers of operational Trusted Research Environments from 15 European countries with a shared goal to implement, validate and promote their capabilities through a common European framework using shared standards and common legal, operational and technical language. This blueprint for interoperability is anchored in the EOSC Interoperability Framework spanning the four dimensions of Legal, Organisational, Technical and Semantic interoperability. EOSC-ENTRUST has identified four driver projects covering Genomics, Clinical trials, Social science, and public-private partnerships to benchmark capabilities, inform blueprint design and demonstrate secure  data analysis using federated workflows. Targeted outreach activities will expand this open network with further providers and develop policy papers and guidelines for the full range of stakeholders to create a long-term operational TRE framework within the European Open Science Cloud. 

IMProving User experience, Long-term sustainability and Services of EU-OPENSCREEN

EU-OPENSCREEN (EU-OS), the distributed European Research Infrastructure for Chemical Biology and early drug discovery, provides world-class services in high-throughput compound screening and medicinal chemistry to users from academia and industry. As one of the largest open-access initiative globally, EU-OPENSCREEN plays an increasingly important role in facilitating early stage drug discovery in Europe. It recently integrated fragment-based drug discovery and chemoproteomics as two new services, but the increasing complexity of modern drug discovery projects requires an even more comprehensive portfolio and integration of emerging technologies. To ensure that EU-OS continues to offer a comprehensive suite of relevant services and support a growing user community to conduct forefront research, IMPULSE will develop, validate and integrate new services in AI/ML, new chemical modalities, and innovative disease-relevant cell models combined with CRISPR-Cas9/RNAi-based genetic screening. IMPULSE will work towards the implementation of common operational and data standards to increase data reproducibility and FAIRness. Bespoke outreach and training activities will raise awareness among key user groups of its new services and advance operational excellence and reproducibility in pre-clinical drug discovery. New models for pre-competitive drug discovery with industry or charities, and growing ERIC member community will reinforce the sustainability and accessibility of EU-OPENSCREEN.

Strengthening resilience and mental wellbeing through the Support4Resilience toolbox for leaders in elderly care

European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.  Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care. S4R will identify resilience and mental wellbeing factors among healthcare workers and informal caregivers; explore their perspectives and needs; develop new theory on the relationship between individual and organizational resilience, and mental wellbeing; and develop recommendations and cost-effective interventions. The Toolbox with tailormade resources for policy and practical use will be available through an open access S4R Resource Bank.  The S4R Toolbox includes three main tools: 1) Mapping and identification, 2) Reflection and education, and 3) Reorganization. Measures are initiated at the organizational level and effects on mental wellbeing and resilience transpire at the frontline of elderly care. The Toolbox covers different situational contexts, types of healthcare providers and health system levels. Elderly care settings in six European countries will implement and evaluate the Toolbox through a process evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, and cost-effectiveness evaluation.   S4R provides policymakers, decisions-makers and leaders with solutions for taking action to solve specific risks for healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing. Thus, pertinent to the work programme, S4R will support the development of resilient health systems in European elderly care through improved leadership capabilities, governance structures, and adaptive capacities.

UNIVERSAL SENSOR BASED ON ELECTRICALLY-PUMPED MID-INFRARED SPECTROMETER ON SILICON CHIPS

High resolution optical spectroscopy in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range (3-12 µm wavelength) is an unambiguous way to detect and quantify small traces of greenhouse and toxic gases down to sensitivities of parts-per-billion. Such sensitivities are a prerequisite to safeguard low-pollution and toxic-free environment defined by the EU Action Plan: "Towards a Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil.” However, size, cost, and general complexity of the commercially available instruments limits their use to a small number of highly specialized applications, and prevents their deployment with sufficient coverage e.g. in networks, wearable electronics, etc. Particularly in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, on chip integration of spectroscopic systems would constitute a game changer for mid-IR high-precision and portable sensors. The objective of UNISON is to address this challenge and demonstrate a highly scalable platform for infra-red spectroscopy that has both high-end performance and is compact. UNISON sensing scheme relies on dual comb spectrometers obtained by leveraging on electrically pumped cascade lasers (QCL and ICL) and on silicon-germanium (SiGe) mid-IR photonic circuits to surpass current spectroscopic systems in terms of detection bandwidth, point spacing and system compactness. UNISON is organized around 3 main cornerstones each of them relying on ambitious physical and technological challenges: (i) tunable large bandwidth frequency combs will be generated on SiGe photonics circuits  by combining electro-optical comb generation, non-linear effects and dispersion engineering ; (ii) the comb sources will be pumped by novel electrically-driven cascade laser sources integrated with the SiGe photonics circuits ; (iii) compact, broadband, and sensitive interaction region for trace gas detection, designed and optimized for the SiGe platform, will be integrated with the dual comb source to showcase the sensing capability of the spectrometer. 

Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal.   For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:  i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets;   ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;  iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;  iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;  v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;  vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;  vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs. 

Cooperation and AgReements enhancing Global interOperability for Aerosol, Cloud and Trace gas research infrastructures

The goal of CARGO-ACT is to deliver a clear roadmap for sustainable global cooperation between key ground-based aerosol, cloud and trace gas research infrastructures, each having invested in infrastructure and services to support their observing networks with a long-term perspective, with a view to consolidating into a sustainable global research infrastructure in the future. There is a strong desire for global integration from the research community, including weather, climate, and air quality monitoring and modelling,  and in particular from space agencies, since global networks of ground-based observations are an essential component complementing Earth Observation from space, providing calibration and validation of the remote sensing information collected by current and future satellite missions. The integration of the current ground-based networks, which may have different interests and priorities, requires cooperation and agreements at the global level, including engagement with relevant stakeholders. Their service provision is not limited to data services, but includes access to the measurement facilities, reference instruments, reference standards and laboratories, all of which are topics to be assessed in CARGO-ACT.    The specific objectives of CARGO-ACT are to, develop sustainable partnerships and decision making processes with relevant partners, demonstrate the benefits of converging interoperability and standards to stakeholders and the global research community, establish the mechanisms for providing  international access to distributed research infrastructures and develop a roadmap for upscaling towards an integrated global research infrastructure for aerosol, cloud and trace gases.

The project addresses basic challenges in seamless integration of software solutions for heterogeneous net, by proposing a meta-infrastructure for environment awareness based on a novel notion of Active Behavioral Interfaces.

This notion of active behavi oral interfaces will enable software components without environmental awareness to function seamlessly in different environments.  More specifically, the active behavioral interface of a component will perform filtering, adaptation and conversion of incom ing data, allowing the component to understand inputs intended for other kinds of components, and furthermore, perform adjustment and adaptation of outgoing data, allowing the quantity and quality of outgoing messages and message streams to depend on the environment.  In particular, the capacity and bandwidth of net connections are taken into consideration.

A meta-infrastructure will separate the design of active behavioral interfaces from that of the components themselves, and include a rich language fo r describing networks of different kinds.  The meta-infrastructure will involve monitoring of the network traffic, and thereby provide information about the net to the component interfaces.  The project will focus on the modeling and design level, buildin g a framework for high level programming and analysis of components, interfaces and networks.  The concepts will be explored, formalized, and implemented by tools oriented towards executable specifications, simulation, prototyping, model checking and anal ysis. Components and interfaces are described in an object-oriented manner, designing program structures useful for production level software solutions.

Active Behavioral Interfaces for Seamless Network Integration

Etter en viss tid vil alle oljefelt få en fallende produksjon. For å bremse denne utviklingen kan man pumpe vann ned i noen brønner og skyve oljen mot andre brønner hvor den kan hentes opp. Selv etter dette vil det normalt være en god del restolje (residual oil) igjen i feltet. For å måle gjenværende olje i et reservoar benyttes forskjellige teknikker. En metode som benyttes heter «Single Well Chemical Tracer Test» SWCTT. En annen test er «Partitioning Interwell Tracer Test» PITT. Begge går ut på å måle forskjell i hastigheten to sporingstoffer beveger seg, man tilsetter injeksjonsvannet sporingsstoffer. Navnet kommer av at de partisjoneres (fordeles) mellom den tilnærmet immobile oljen og vannet. Ved å måle hvor fort sporingsstoffene beveger seg i forhold til det injiserte vannet, kan mengden av restolje indirekte bestemmes. Dette er viktig å vite for å kunne planlegge fortsatt oljeproduksjon. Dagens teknologi byr imidlertid på en rekke Helse, miljø og sikkerhets (HMS) utfordringer. Avhengig av forholdene brukes enten svært brennbare væsker som må oppbevares på oljeplattformene eller kjemikaler som er klassifisert som miljømessig røde. 
Hovedmålet i INTER prosjektet er å utvikle grønne intelligente miljøinformanter som kan måle direkte hvor mye restolje som finnes og som ikke minst er miljøvennlige. For å forstå hvordan miljøinformantene kan brukes til å beregne hvor mye olje som finnes i feltet, og ikke minst hvor, vil vi utføre både beregninger i datamaskin og eksperimenter på laboratoriet. Vi vil også utvikle nye analyseteknikker som kan avlese hukommelsen til partiklene, noe de må ha for å kunne huske hvor mye olje de har vært i kontakt med på sin vei gjennom oljefeltet. 
Nanopartiklene syntetisert i prosjektet inneholder luminescerende komponenter som brukes til detektering. Et med grønn emisjon som er oljeløselig og fungerer som tracer probe for hydrokarbon fasen og et med rød emisjon som fungerer som intern standard. Når disse nanopartiklene kommer i kontakt med olje så vil det grønne fargestoffet frigjøres fra partiklene. Dette vil føre til et nedsatt signal fra dette fargestoffet i partiklene. Forskjellen i emisjons ratio mellom fargestoffene før og etter kontakt med olje vil kunne brukes for å estimere olje innhold.
En syntese metode har blitt utarbeidet for innkapsling av 2 luminescerende komponenter i en nanostruktur.  Nanopartiklene er monodisperse og ca. 100 nm i diameter. Disse nanopartiklene har blitt testet for å demonstrere en ny deteksjonsmetode for olje ved ratio-metrisk luminescens.  Det grønne fargestoffet ble frigjort fra nanopartiklene i kontakt med organiske vesker (olje). Frigjøringen var tidsavhengig og dette kan brukes til estimering av residual olje i et reservoir.
Videre førte forskningen i prosjektet til utviklingen av nanokompositt partikler av «carbon nano dots» innkapslet i hule silika-partikler.
Det har også blitt syntetisert karbon-silika hybrid nanopartikler og silika partikler dopet med europium. Disse har fått modifisert overflaten med en polymer. 
Forsøk med minikjerne-oppsett for måling av tracer oppførsel har blitt gjort. Tester har blitt utført med passive tracere som natriumjodid og kjente silika nanopartikler. Videre har XDLVO modellering med Comsol Multiphysics blitt gjennomført med tanke på hvordan nanopartikler med forskjellige egenskaper oppfører seg under varierende betingelser - bergart, formasjonsvann, temperatur osv. Simuleringene tar hensyn til van der Waals krefter, EDL og Born repulsjon samt væskens hastighetsfelt og Brownske bevegelser. 
ILM i Lyon har utført tester på nanopartikler fra NTNU og lignende partikler laget på ILM.
Forskningen fokuserte på 3 hovedpunkter; (i) den kolloidale stabiliteten av nanopartiklene i reservoar forhold, (ii) detekterbarheten av tracerene med portabelt utstyr, (iii) muligheten for for å bestemme residual olje ved analyse av fluorescensen signalet til partiklene. 

NILU har undersøkt eventuell toxicitet av partikler. En batch av silikapartikler i nanostørrelse laget i INTER-prosjektet har blitt testet for deres evne til å skade DNA og om de er kreftfremkallende. Effekten ble testet på en human lungecellelinje, og to forskjellige cellelinjer fra regnbueørret, henholdsvis gjelle og lever. Nanopartiklene hadde ingen signifikante skadeeffekter på DNA, noe som indikerer at partiklene har en lav gentoksisitet. Ikke-gentoksiske stoffer kan imidlertid være kreftfremkallende. Dette kan testes med den såkalte celletransformasjonsmetoden. Ut fra to uavhengige forsøk tyder det på at nanopartiklene kan indusere celletransformasjon noe som kan indikere at de har et potensial til å virke kreftfremkallende. Konsentrasjonen for å oppnå denne effekten var relativt høy (> 10 µg/cm2). Dette indikerer lavt carcinogen potensial.

After primary and secondary production, large volumes of residual oil may still be found near existing oil fields' infrastructures. Knowing the residual oil saturation, Sor, is important to select the proper EOR/IOR methods and for an evaluation of their efficiency. Using oil-water partitioning tracers and measuring their time delay relative to ideal water tracers yields an indirect estimate of Sor. Today's tracer technology raises, however, a number of HSE issues. The main goal of the INTER - Intelligent Environmental Reporters project is develop green nanoparticles that can be used to estimate Sor directly. We will use silica / molybdate or wolframate particles doped with lanthanides as the core of our new environmental reporters. The combination of the intrinsic fluorescence of the molybdate / wolframate lanthanides' fluorescence will allow for highly sensitive detection of the tracers in produced fluids even in extremely low concentrations. Their long-lived luminescence can be used in combination with time-resolved spectroscopy to strongly enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the reporters and thus allow their detection even when the natural fluorescence of the organic compounds (noise) usually prevents such analysis. The particles will be functionalized using various precursors in order to increase their colloidal stability and lower their interaction with the rock surfaces, permitting them to travel easily through the reservoir. Simulating and modelling the transport of the nanoparticles in laboratory synthetic reservoirs with and without oil will be used as guidance in this development. Novel analytical techniques and methods will be developed to quantify Sor and its spatial distribution. Finally, all work will be conducted using the Safe by Design approach. This will ensure that the products, their building blocks and production do not represent any danger to neither human beings nor the environment.
