This report presents a preliminary analysis of the three re-use value-chains (battery, metals and techno-polymers) of CarE-Service Project in order to derive specific process requirements to be furtherly implemented and demonstrated.
The main objective is to propose an optimal management of End of Life (EoL) Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (E&HEV), requiring proper technologies and ad hoc processes. The aim is the reduction of wasted materials in landfills or incinerators and the recovery of components with residual properties as re-used products or chemical compounds as secondary raw materials. In particular, the automotive target parts are:
batteries, representing the main innovation in E&HEVs;
techno-polymers, whose amount is increased to reduce the wholeweight of E&HEVs;
and metals.
To properly derive robust requirements addressing real needs for future sustainability, a great effort has been spent involving all relevant actors for the development of innovative technical solutions for future services at all supply chain levels. Therefore, State of Art analysis and in-depth interviews have been carried out with the key-players of the future de-manufacturing value-chains. Once collected all the information, several potential scenarios have been analysed and detailed schemes of the three main value-chains have been defined.
Finally, an in-sight view of the current re-design practices and European laws and directives addressing the EoL of automotive products is drawn to identify the limits concretely bounding the market exploitation of CarE-Service results.

Webinar - Transport and storage economics of CCS in The NetherlandsGlobal CCS Institute
From April 2012 – January 2013, a team from the Rotterdam Climate Initiative, CATO-2 (the Dutch national R&D programme on CCS) and the Clinton Climate Initiative, developed a financial model to assess the economics of alternative CO2 transport and storage options in the North Sea, based on common user infrastructure.
A steering group of major emitters with advanced plans for CCS in the Netherlands and Belgium guided the project and were the primary recipients of the analysis, aiming to support the necessary strategic dialogue between stakeholders developing CCS projects in the region.
Although the work was focused on potential projects in the Netherlands (Rotterdam and Eemshaven) and Belgium (Antwerp) in the short to medium term, the analysis and lessons could be useful to other regions considering CO2 network solutions.
In addition to the knowledge sharing report, a simple financial model based on public data has been made available for use elsewhere in the world.
The Global CCS Institute webinar that was held on Tuesday 4th June examined how the project was set up, the key lessons from the analysis and the steering group’s recommendations for near-term action to address the issues raised by this project. The webinar also provided practical advice for other regions looking to replicate the analysis.

25 pages of information about all the topics covered by our project.
You will find first of all a new episode of the Starty comics! Show it to your kids! :-) 4 pages drawn by J. Mascarenhas, that will explain you about our will to substitute tellurium materials in thermoelectric devices.
In the news, you will find some hints that this objective can be achieved. We are working with our sulphide minerals and in the Technical Pill we also tell you something on how to optimise the composition with modelling. We have interviewed another member of the Scientific Advisory Board, Jean-Yves Escabasse of CEA (France), in addition to the updates on other project activities, on project events (our first Annual Meeting in Madrid!) and other dissemination topics. Finally, we present to you two consortium partners to present: ASGMI and GeniCore!
A key concept in the Semantic Web (SW) initiative of the WWW consortium is the notion of ontologies. In the nanoscience and nanotechnology field, there is still no ontology standard in place. The goal is to automate engineering and maintenance of nano-ontology standards for improved data integration and interoperability in order to advance science & technology and bring big savings for the industry and the public sectors. To achieve this we provide a collaborative environment for research, standardization and innovation in nanotechnology and the integration of advanced techniques of ontology design. The platform and approaches used are general and can be applied in any sector or information system.
This project addresses the problem of building a platform for ontology engineering, evaluation and evolution that facilitates the task of establishing and keeping updated industry-quality ontologies. The platform incorporates a range of interchangeable techniques and theories and is geared towards the needs from the nanoscience and nanotechnology discipline. Project focus is to provide cost-effective practical technologies for producing high-quality relevant ontologies. The project’s technologies and models impact the industry and the research community at different levels:
• Intelligent search & mining: Content-based processing of and reasoning about domain-dependent data sources
• Seamless infrastructure: Open infrastructures for all types of media and equipment as permanent available resources for collaboration and exchange
• Communication: Interactive, value-increasing services and information for collaboration in and across communities and organizations, and for people in roles as citizens and customers.
The deliverables of the project include a platform for semi-automatic learning and evolution of ontologies, logical and statistical techniques for ontology manipulation and refinement, and a full-fledged ontology for searching and mining nanoscience and nanotechnology research papers and electronic media. The platform is realized through an executable model and related tool support, and demonstrated by applications to case studies relevant to nanoscience, nanomaterials and nanotechnology.

Current commercial thermoelectric devices incorporate p-type semiconductor materials that are produced from expensive and rare elements, namely tellurium, which is toxic and predominantly sourced in China. As an alternative approach for the replacement of the tellurium-based p-type semiconductor materials, START proposes a unique technological solution and value-chain based on a “waste material-waste heat to power” methodology. This approach implies the production of sulphide p-type semiconductor materials that will incorporate, amongst others, discarded mining waste sulphides, mainly consisting of the tetrahedrite-tennantite mineral series. Thus, the project concept also includes the stages of material processing, device design and production, testing and validation (Fig. 2). The aim is to produce a TE device reaching TRL6, with the START TE device demonstrated in industrial processes. As a first step, several historical European mining sites have been targeted for collection of tetrahedrite-tennantite minerals, namely: a) Austria: Leogang (Nöckelberg, Barbarastollen) and Schwaz (Sandpocher, Antonihalde, Sigmundhalde), b), Germany: Rammelsberg mine, Bergwerkswohlfahrt mine, c) Portugal: Neves Corvo, Barrigão and Brancanes mines, d) Slovakia: Rožňava mine, e) Spain: La Sierrecilla, El Corriellu, Peña Negra, Torres de Albarracín, Lanteira mines, amongst others. The collected minerals are undergoing processing and will feed the material processing in the upcoming stages.

La corrosión es una reacción química o electroquímica entre un material, generalmente metálico, y su entorno, que produce una pérdida de sus características. En un gran número de aplicaciones industriales cobra especial relevancia la compatibilidad de los materiales, equipos y sistemas con el ambiente en que se van a ubicar y las condiciones de servicio, que se manifiesta habitualmente en los fenómenos de la corrosión.
A través de este curso, impartido en esta segunda edición por reconocidos expertos de TECNALIA y de IR Corrosión, conoceremos con mayor profundidad los fenómenos que originan los procesos de corrosión, deteniéndonos para analizar aspectos específicos de la corrosión en ductos y en uniones soldadas. El curso presentará igualmente métodos para la protección contra la corrosión, así como técnicas para la monitorización o seguimiento de la corrosión.
Habida cuenta de que la protección contra la corrosión comienza por su prevención, a lo largo del curso veremos ensayos para la evaluación de la corrosión de los materiales, así como ensayos acelerados que permiten simular las condiciones que pueden causar los diferentes fenómenos de corrosión. Finalizaremos el curso viendo una serie de casos prácticos de análisis de fallos.
El curso combinará teoría con casos prácticos. Los asistentes recibirán documentación impresa que recogerá toda la información relevante del curso.
El curso está dirigido a todas aquellas personas interesadas en entender los fenómenos de corrosión que tienen lugar en diferentes aplicaciones industriales así como los medios disponibles para preverlos y evitarlos: ingenieros, técnicos, gerentes, responsables de ventas, responsables de mantenimiento, inspectores, etc.
Closing the loop on recycling of rare earth elementsJokin Hidalgo
REE4EU aims to realise a breakthrough in securing the availability of rare earth elements (REE) in Europe. This means providing, for the first time, a cost-effective and efficient REE extraction and direct rare earth alloys (REA) production route from abundantly available in-process and end-of-life REE waste streams. We hope to show that it is possible to maintain the whole value chain during permanent magnet production and electrodes for nickel metal hydride batteries using secondary raw materials, thus avoiding the dependency of importing expensive REE from China. The project might also open up market opportunities to stakeholders seeking sustainable REE recycling technologies.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
