Title: "Constructing a ‘Eubiosis Reinstatement Therapy’ for Asthma (CURE) - Grant agreement No 767015”
| Description | The long-term vision of CURE is to develop respiratory phage therapies capable of improving clinical outcomes in asthma. Such accomplishment will undoubtedly be paralleled by an enhanced understanding of microbiome variability in asthma, providing an innovative aspect of disease pheno/endotyping and establishing the basis for precision medicine interventions. Furthermore, the developed paradigm could be straightforwardly expanded to other chronic respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our vision requires the capacity to predict with accuracy and repeatability the microbiological, immunological and clinical effects of an ecological intervention in the respiratory niche. We envision this approach as an integral part of phage therapy development, able to support decision making in preparation of phages mixes (‘cocktails’) and bridging the gap between the need for personalized treatment and regulatory demands for standardization. |

Title: "Integrating devices and materials: a challenge for new instrumentation in ICT (IDEM)"
| Description | The Action IC1208 addresses the critical challenge of providing new devices for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applications running from sensors to photonics and optoelectronics. Traditional materials – such as liquid crystals – and devices – such as acoustic resonators -are now showing new and improved functionalities when combined with nanostructured materials. This leads to innovative devices, which broaden the horizon of the applications in many areas, from health (bio- and diagnostic sensors) to optical communications and photonics (reconfigurable optics, displays). Interdisciplinarity and improved use of knowledge are essential for undertaking challenges in the design of new devices derived from new materials. The action will develop new ideas for functional materials and devices in these areas and innovative training curricula for professionals and scientists that encourage an integrated approach to the design and implementation of breaking new devices for photonics, materials engineering (e.g. multiferroic ceramics) and sensor areas. |

Title: "New possibilities for print media and packaging - combining print with digital"
| Description | The goal of this Action is to promote discussion on the benefits that may be achieved from novel combinations of print and digital. It will also be used to enhance innovations that will make use of the benefits of both print and electronic media as well as innovations where print and electronic media are combined. Several examples exist where successful combinations have been achieved e.g. through the use of image recognition, augmented reality or printed electronics to bring interactivity into fiber based products. To give the forest industry a competitive edge this Action will focus on new innovations by combining knowledge of the end users with most recent technological achievements. New models of ongoing change in social interaction and in the cultural products of paper and electronic media will be elaborated and proposed. The results will promote critical and theoretical discussion on the changing meanings of contemporary media culture. The Action will explore new business opportunities for the fiber-based products and the value chains of print media and packaging through novel, innovative uses. It will also serve as a channel for communication between industry and academia, thus contributing to the development of new commercial applications. |
