A Spanish research SME, focused on the development of analytical instrumentation in many fields with a large trajectory in security, is working on an Eurostar proposal which aim is to develop a sensor for screening in checkpoints based on a new technology. The technology is already developed, but it has to be adapted to the new requirements. To do this, the main required activities are based on redesigning of electronic modules, automatization of some processes and development new engineering solutions.

An italian research team is active in the areas related to synthesis, properties, characterization of synthetic and biological macromolecules and their applications in life science, rubber technology, advanced texiles, optoelectronics and pac. The team is now working on a new project and it would like to apply it under an H2020-BBI-JTI-2019 call (BBI2019.SO3.R9).

The AIEL-Italian Biomass Association estimates that the average annual demand for single-family heating systems (≤ 40kWt) is more than 50,000 biomass boilers referring to the main EU markets (Germany, Italy, France, Austria).Pellet is now the biomass most widely used having cost about 50-70% lower than that the diesel oil and liquefied petroleugas. Wood chipped is even less expensive: 50% lower than that of pellets and 35% lower than that of wood logs.

A research institute of a German university, which is active in the area of contact mechanics and polymer friction and with experience with H2020-projects, is looking for partners for the above mentioned call. The aim of the proposal is to reduce friction in medical devices under relative motion by altering the surface structure. In this way it is not necessary to alter materials or add lubricants to reduce friction and no authorization process is needed. The key innovation is the surface modification in the mold, hence this process is particularly suitable for mass production items.
