EuroNuNet: Combining forces for a novel European facility for neutrino-antineutrino symmetry-violation discovery The aim of EuroNuNet is to study the possibility of producing a uniquely intense neutrino beam from a 5 MW proton beam generated with a linear, as opposed to circular, accelerator and to direct this neutrino beam to a Megaton size underground water Cherenkov neutrino detector. The outstanding potential of this infrastructure stems from the uniquely high power of the linear accelerator that allows positioning the detector at the second neutrino oscillation maximum, located at some 500 km from the accelerator and neutrino target, where the sensitivity to the CP violation signal is about three times higher as compared to at the first oscillation maximum, where other experiments are planning to measure. The study of this facility will build upon the further exploitation of the experience gained in the EU FP7 Design-Studies EUROnu and LAGUNA-LBNO. |

EURAMED rocc-n-roll: EURopeAn MEDical application and Radiation prOteCtion Concept: strategic research agenda aNd ROadmap interLinking to heaLth and digitisation aspects EURAMED rocc-n-roll aims to propose an integrated and coordinated European approach to research and innovation in medical applications of ionising radiation and related radiation protection based on stakeholder consensus and existing activities in the field. To achieve this, research and radiation protection needs in the clinical disciplines using ionising radiation will be analysed with the aim to generate the largest benefit for the European population in an equal, safe, high-quality way throughout Europe, by fostering clinical translation, while also strengthening economic growth and industrial competitiveness, supported by research and innovation in the field. |

PATRICIA: Partitioning And Transmuter Research Initiative in a Collaborative Innovation Action This project focusses on research on advanced partitioning to efficiently separate Am from spent fuel, on experimental and fuel performance code development work studying the behaviour of Am bearing fuel under irradiation and on the safety related research supporting the licensing process of MYRRHA in its role in the development trajectory for a dedicated accelerator driven transmuter. For first time, the communities working of partitioning, transmutation and the development of MYRRHA are joint in one project.

CROWD4SDG: Citizen Science for Monitoring Climate Impacts and Achieving Climate Resilience In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to be reached via 169 targets and to be measured with 232 indicators. However, collecting such data can be challenging. The EU-funded CROWD4SDG project aims to analyse how citizen science (CS) can be used to measure progresses to achieve the SDGs. Within this scope, the project will explore how CS can monitor the impacts of extreme climate events and strengthen the resilience of communities within the framework of climate-related disasters. The project's methodology will be based on artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as on the use of social media and other non-traditional data sources.

The overall objective of this project is to establish an ISO standard for an ionisation vacuum gauge suitable as a transfer gauge between national metrological institutes themselves, manufacturers and users of vacuum gauges. A target relative uncertainty of the final gauge is 1% within the relevant pressure range from 10-6 Pa to 10-2 Pa and for a selection of different gases. This uncertainty includes long term- and transport stability. The project includes literature and material studies, simulations of various gauge geometries, manufacturing of laboratory - and prototype gauges, as well as their testing. |

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: 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: 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: 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. |
