Expected impacts. North Dakota State University: NDSU transportation and logistics students will continue to infiltrate the transportation workforce bringing excellent data analysis and assessment skills to the organizations. Students continue to present and participate in industry workshops and conferences, and seek top level transportation positions around the world. NDSU researchers continue to disseminate the results of ongoing projects and research to transportation professionals around the state. Expected outcomes will continue to be shared through technology transfer opportunities, webinars, and social media. Wyoming: The MPC funding will continue supporting graduate students who will join the transportation workforce after graduation. The research studies conducted will facilitate selecting maintenance and rehabilitation strategies on local paved roads, reduce crashes on tribal roads, enhance the effectiveness of air quality programs such as the CMAQ program, and reduce truck related crashes in rural areas. Colorado State University: As the findings of our projects are disseminated and make their way into transportation practice we anticipate several impacts. For example, the new model developed in MPC 481 overcomes limitations of existing models and should facilitate better hydrologic design of transportation infrastructure. MPC-485 studies the topic of Transit Oriented Development, which is a very timely topic and thus the project has the potential to help better inform many decision makers and local government agencies considering new XXX projects. MPC-508 should help promote the use of polymer soil amendments in appropriate circumstances. South Dakota State University: The implementation of the SDDOT Base and Subbase Moisture Density Curves may decrease the time required to obtain target density and optimum moisture. This should result in both cost savings to perform the test as well as construction costs by reducing over-compaction. Development of a low-maintenance, low-cost mixed-media filtration system for stormwater treatment. This filtration system can be used to reduce the impact of highway runoff on surface waters and improve the environmental sustainability of transportation. Aqueous waste streams can be produced from many commercial, industrial, and municipal processes or activities. The results of this research could help transform waste streams that are now environmentally and financially expensive to discard into valuable materials for transportation...

Expected impacts.  Contribution to the expected impacts As mentioned in the ESFRI roadmap 2010, “SPIRAL2 is a new European facility to be built at GANIL laboratory in Caen, France. The project aims at delivering stable and rare isotope beams with intensities not yet available with present machines. SPIRAL2 will reinforce the European leadership in the field of nuclear physics based on exotic nuclei.” The IDEAAL Project will explore all possibilities to secure long-term sustainability of GANIL infrastructure. In this way, it will contribute to the first expected impact, providing Europe a sustainable Research Infrastructure and helping to respond to challenges in science, through fundamental and interdisciplinary research with heavy-ion and neutron beams, in industry, via technology transfer and the use of ion beams for industrial applications, and in society, with applied research for medicine. With SPIRAL2, the leadership of the European Research Area in the global research environment will be strengthened through the uniqueness of the beams delivered by its accelerator, the state-of-the-art scientific equipment and high-quality staff. These specific features will attract numerous scientists and industries from outside Europe with an expected increase in the number of users by a factor of two. Industrial applications using radioactive and stable ion beams began at GANIL in 1988 with the first experiments on microporous membrane production by irradiating polymer films with heavy ions, and the first tests of electronic components to study their behaviour and resistance under irradiation. After several years of testing, companies dealing with the aerospace industry have also developed programs of component certification with the use of GANIL beams. A new sample irradiation device funded by GANIL and CNES (with the support of OSEO), including detection and control system, has been fully operational since 2010. As consequence, the period 2011-2015 has been very active in terms of contracts with industrial users, with an average of seven to nine experiments devoted to industrial applications performed every year, corresponding to an average of 300 beam hours. With its scientific and technological expertise, GANIL acts as a relay enhancing the transfer of its employee skills to industrial companies and their applications. In this context, GANIL applies, in conjunction with the CEA and the CNRS, a policy of industrial property, which protects its knowledge and allows transfers of...

Expected impacts. Direct impact from the two actions will be a significantly enhanced growth and profitability of SMEs receiving the services as compared to their initial situation: innovation processes will be conducted more efficient and more effectively. Indirect impact is expected from the introduction of high quality innovation management capacity assessment and support services in all regions across Europe. In an increasing number of regions the initial introduction in the context of the described action will lead to integration of the toolbox in regional innovation support. The services will be provided to a significant but limited number of SMEs: the I-KAM2EU objective is to supply 96 seven-day service packages. But the dissemination and communication activities (provided in close synergy with the SME2EU project) will make aware a greater range of SMEs about the relationship between the innovation management process and the market competitiveness. Specific expected impacts about the two type of services: • At the start of his work, KAM analyses the SME to identificate gaps and coaching needs. At the end of the coaching process, the KAM will conduct the same analysis again for a first evaluation of its impact. Moreover, the KAM services provided to the beneficiaries of the SME Instrument Phase 1, will aim (also) to support a successfully approach to the Phase 2 call. • For EIMC services, a twofold IMP3rove assessment will measure the improvement of the innovation management capacities, between the start and end of the service delivery, although in several cases the completeness of the benefits generated by the action plan will be fully measurable only in a longer period. The real impacts generated by the project will be measurable in the medium period, in terms of improvement of the competitiveness and innovation capacities of SMEs and their ability to better act and evolve in the market. To evaluate these impacts, the participants will ensure a follow-up activities in the years, to take effective feedback by SMEs and to track the impact on the company.

Expected impacts. The ATLAS project aims to develop an open, distributed, and extensible data platform based on a microservice architecture. It will offer innovative, data-driven services in agriculture to help improve the efficiency of farmers in a sustainable way. Through ATLAS and the new level of interoperability resulting from the ATLAS platform technology, it will be easier than ever before to connect to the relevant end-users and to integrate novel services into the workflows of these end users. The formed Innovation Hubs will be also utilised as dissemination points, further enhancing and amplifying the outreach of the project. The ATLAS Innovation hubs are built with a xxxxxxxx xxxx of stakeholders involved, acting as an incubator attracting new companies providing services around data driven agriculture.
