    Existing EU policies aiming on strengthening and growth are mainly focused on new developments, omitting investments in inspection and maintenance operations due to traditionally high costs. To overtake this, VORTEX aims to commercialize the Vortex Robot (VR) technology developed in Η2020 FETOPEN CompInnova, which will increase the inspection efficiency in terms of lower execution times, lower operational costs and higher worker safety. VORTEX will focus on the creation of its brand name and expand the dissemination/communication activities implemented in CompInnova to focused industrial events and wider media/press channels, for maximizing societal and market acceptance of autonomous multi-robot systems tackling inspection and maintenance tasks. VORTEX will use as the base the identified aerospace maintenance market and the end-users/customer base formed during CompInnova from within the aerospace industry, to expand on potential stakeholders and customers in wider inspection and maintenance areas. Through the implementation of a commercialization plan, analysis of potential markets, technology assessment and consolidation of intellectual property rights, the envisioned activities will lead to the development of the VORTEX business case. The planned dissemination and exploitation activities will stimulate the formation of an open and proactive mindset towards exploiting innovative tools in infrastructure inspection and maintenance, which are beyond the technical capabilities of existing companies, for addressing the demands for higher human safety and reduced downtime costs.

    The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Green Charter guides all the researchers and the academic community to work towards a greener and better future. Therefore, the current action is appropriate and timely as it is primarily dependent on the reduction of the excessive amount of carbon footprints, generated through the huge number of fossil-based experiments conducted to observe the suitability of structural materials for different applications and denoting fire-ratings. The project will focus on introducing fossil-free electric heating (inductive/resistive) for different structural materials and compare the results to the established fossil-based ones. The aim being to prove that fossil-free methods can also help in providing the required information on different structural materials, resulting in possible standardisation of the same. Acceptance and proper functioning of the method will substantially help in reducing the use of fossils, specifically propane, and in working towards a more sustainable environment. Furthermore, the process will also enable in providing a portable and economical way for research institutes and universities to conduct large-scale experiments on new structural materials. The action will also involve the specification of a method to achieve optimal desired fire-safety in materials, and a renewable wood-based structural composite material that has good mechanical and fire performances. The successful preparation, testing and analysis of the new structural material will further enable the team to file a patent. Additionally, the same material will be used to prepare corrugated and honeycomb sandwiched structures with numerical modelling, that for the first time will capture the influence of the cell sizes on the flammability of the structure.

    The project “Connection of two music world” was a project between Tonlistarskoli Kopavogs Iceland, Conservatorio di Musica “Santa Cecilia” in Rome Italy and The Music department of Lulea Tekniska Universitet in Pitea, Sweden. The projects focus was chamber music from the three countries; Iceland, Italy and Sweden, with the objectives to broaden education at all the participating schools by introducing, educating and training the participating students in different style of music and musical interpretation. The number of participating students from the three partnership schools were all together 141 students during 4 activities from secondary level and above. The activities were based on chamber music studies, first separate preparation and then joint rehearsals and lectures together in the Icelandic and Italian partnership schools and composition and performance of new music from Sweden under direction of conducting students from the Swedish partner. At the end of the second year of preparation, rehearsals and planning, concerts with the material were held in Iceland and Italy at venues like the Dark Music Days Festival in Reykjavik, with qualified performance with interpretation, expression and musicianship, as well as premier performances conducted by master degree students. This qualification gained by the project was passed on to other students and audience and is available on a digital video recording on Youtube giving long term results. The new compositions and other sheet music used in the project is also available at the partnership institutes for future use. All objectives were fulfilled far better than expected and the participates gave performances where they showed magnificent skills of the music performed and new compositions of high quality.
