Young researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) - Belgium came up with a paradigm-shifting wavelength conversion mechanism to enable the practical realization of light sources emitting a wide range of colours that are expected to revolutionize point-of-care medical diagnostics, food safety analysis, and data communications.

Being able to very quickly process a huge amount of audio and audiovisual content is a growing issue in digital society. The LST team at the University of Le Mans succeeded in developing a software technology for speech and speaker recognition that reduces drastically the computation time required to process huge amount of audio and video content while maintaining the quality of the output.

Cognitive decline (dementia) currently costs Europe more than €130 billion/year for patient care. Animal models of higher-level cognition are necessary to test theories on the molecular basis of neurological disorders and to test therapies. In SISSA’s planned spinoff, NeuroMicronica, rodents are trained to express superior cognitive capacities – reaching performance levels of primates – as investigators measure and manipulate their brain processing. This custom-built, automated apparatus frees scientists’ curiousity from technical limitations.

MARLO AS's MixMoveMatch.com is the first 'software as a service' solution to support multi-Shipper and multi-Carrier collaboration practices aligned with physical internet principles.This solution brings 35% reductions in transport cost and 50% reductions in carbon footprints.

An automatic software framework brings personalized radiation therapy for prostate cancer to the clinic using medical resonance imaging to guide dose painting decisions.

Langgezond.nl is using ICT supported services to deliver intelligent, personalized and motivational services that aim to prevent frailty and functional decline among citizens. This approach could transform our care system into one that is more sustainable, personalized and proactive.

mHT solutions are based on wearable sensors/smartphones and provide an objective and comprehensive assessment without the need for a movement analysis laboratory or expensive/bulky equipment. The person under examination can perform functional tests while wearing the mHT system and a report characterising the person’s motor status is generated at the end of the test.
