TURBO-PET

New high-resolution, high-sensitivity dedicated breast positron emission tomography scanner

The project will develop a next-generation nuclear imaging breast Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system with high sensitivity and high resolution based on the integration of cutting edge photonic and nanostructuration techniques enabling the localization of tumours two times faster. The clinical and economic advantages will represent a breakthrough in current standards of diagnosis and treatment through better image quality, faster response, lower tracer dose and lower cost of the exam.

SANDA

SANDA: Supplying Accurate Nuclear Data for energy and non-energy Applications

The project will include experimental measurements of new or improved quality data, evaluation, validation and dissemination of the data to produce libraries that can be used by safety authorities, research institutions, the nuclear energy industry, health organizations, other non-energy applications and the EU society at large. The project will also include in smaller fraction support to detector development, facility setups and samples fabrication to prepare important measurements and validations that are not possible in the time framework of the present projectl but that will be required in near future for the safe and efficient use of nuclear technologies.

MYRTE

MYRTE: MYRRHA Research and Transmutation Endeavour

The goal of MYRTE is to perform the necessary research in order to demonstrate the feasibility of transmutation of high-level waste at industrial scale through the development of the MYRRHA research facility. Within MYRRHA as a large research facility, the demonstration of the technological performance of transmutation will be combined with the use for the production of radio-isotopes and as a material testing for nuclear fission and fusion applications.

ARIEL

ARIEL: Availability and use of nuclear data research infrastructures for education and learning

For the continuing improvement of the safety of current and planned nuclear facilities accurate and precise nuclear data are required to simulate the ongoing processes on the atomic level. In order to maintain the transfer of knowledge to the younger generation and to countries with less advanced nuclear programs the most modern and state of the art neutron beam facilities based on accelerators and research reactors will unite in this project international experts with interested early stage researchers (ESR) and technicians to work on the most challenging problems.

The project will provide at least 3000 additional beam time hours for external users groups at the neutron facilities of the consortium. Up to 90 ESR and technicians will be able to receive full mobility and logistical support to participate in these experiments at 23 different accelerator or reactor based neutron facilities.

IMPACTA

IMPACTA: Innovative Mechanically Pumped loop for ACtive Antennae

The objective of this project is to solve the need of Large Satellites Integrators of telecom satellites to develop bespoke thermal control solutions for Active Antennae.

The consortium will perform research on a two-phase MPL (mechanically pumped fluid loop) for an active antenna, and aims to build a demonstrator with a Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 6. This two-phase MPL will be a key building block in the next generation of telecommunications satellites.

Up2U

Up2U: Up to University

The key objective of the project is to bridge the gap between secondary schools and higher education & research by better integrating formal (academic) and informal, self-learning scenarios. The project will deliver technology and methodology (guidelines) for students in preparation for their university studies and scientific careers. This project will develop an innovative ICT ecosystem - based on the proven experiences in higher education and big research. The goal is to facilitate open, more effective and efficient co-design, co-creation, and use of digital content, tools and services adapted for personalized learning and teaching of high school students preparing for university. This will be driven by institutions providing services with a proven track records in research and higher education. This will create an opportunity for integration and adaption of already existing services to the specific learning context of secondary education.
