Projet TranSMKnow (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Economic Sciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

As EU environmental regulation tightens, many European electronics firms have prioritised sustainable manufacturing not just in their own products and processes, but increasingly for standard parts and components sourced from developing countries. Sourcing sustainable electronics from these nations, while hugely economically attractive, can be challenging. Small and medium-sized enterprises(SME’s) typically encounter constraints to accessing knowledge and information if they are distanced from an OEM or final manufacturer, and are unlikely to gain valuable sustainable manufacturing knowledge they can apply. In addition, many SME's producing standard electronics products, either lack incentive to move away from a ‘cost-effective products approach’, or simply do not possess the skills, resources or mindset to produce environmentally sustainable products. TranSMKnow seeks to address this by developing and exploiting a novel ground-up approach to incentivising distant suppliers in Vietnam's growing electronics sector, to learn and adopt ‘sustainable’ practices via informal 'downstream' knowledge transfer. To achieve this, TranSMKnow develops and facilitates a holistic approach including 'learning by doing' sustainable design and manufacturing practices relating to products and/or production processes, but also building mindset change. We focus our training around a few typical electronics parts, destined for the EU, with the idea that the worker can initially build skills around these products, and then apply their new knowledge, and develop confidence to transfer this training to other products that use similar machinery and technology. This project utilises AI to chart both the supply path and the environmental 'profile' of these typical products (i.e. repeated quality, repair and recyclability issues) identified downstream, to develop a package of tailored sustainable learning processes and tools. TranSMKnow training will be validated in a few Vietnamese SME's.

Projet C-NET (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The successful implementation of CO2 capture and valorization technologies is a key step within the European Green Deal, and requires the joint development of innovative processes and materials (possibly non-CRMs) to comply with the EU decarbonization timeline (55% less net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030). Nowadays, this goal can only be achieved by a collaborative effort of researchers belonging to different disciplines and bringing together different expertise. Aim of the C-NET proposal is to build a network of experts working in complementary scientific areas in order to promote advancements in the wide “net zero carbon” field. C-NET is conceived as a nurturing environment where researchers can take advantage of facilities and know-how of the partner units, involving both thermochemical and electrochemical CO2 conversion processes. The synergistic collaboration will triangulate people, materials and knowledge between UniUD (green, solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of non-CRM catalysts and electrocatalysts), Surrey (combined capture and catalytic conversion processes), Sevilla (structured catalytic reactors development for process intensification), Treibacher (materials design, development and scale-up) and China (electro-conversion of CO2). The joint research efforts will be supported and fostered by process modeling (VirtualMech) and advanced material characterization carried out by operando synchrotron light-based techniques (NTNU-ESRF) and in-situ DRIFT experiments (Sabana, Bogota, COL). C-NET, exploiting the planned secondments and the organization of workshops and conferences to promote knowledge-sharing and new skills acquisition, will provide an exhaustive toolkit aimed at overcoming the current state-of-the-art in the field of CO2 valorization processes.

Projet ExPliCit (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Circular Economy (CE) represents a new paradigm that is capable of pushing the frontiers of sustainable development by transforming the relationships between ecological systems and economic activities. Such a new paradigm is expected to repair economy-society-nature interactions, replacing the current linear economic model with a new one that is restorative and regenerative by intention and design. However, while there is common agreement that the transition towards a CE could foster more sustainable futures, there is a lack of discussion about how a truly circular economic system should be organised. Most of the current literature on CE fails to recognise this, presenting the transition towards a CE as a straightforward, neutral, and apolitical process, implicitly characterised by a techno-optimistic and eco-modernist stance. Within this context, this project calls for opening up a debate to deconstruct the increasingly hegemonic discourse of CE based on a technocratic approach and reconstruct it by embedding normative and political dimensions, looking at a plurality of plausible CE futures, and discussing their implications in terms of the organisation of production and distribution networks, also involving a wide set of stakeholders. As such, the project will involve a plurality of disciplinary perspectives, in order to devise future supply chain configurations that could be implemented in specific industrial sectors under specific CE scenarios. A wide array of non-academic beneficiaries ensures that the project will be capable of realising relevant knowledge transfer through secondment mechanisms.

Statut du projet : SIGNED

The objective of this project is to study energy procurement practices and its relationship with environmental, economic, and social sustainability. To do so, we aim to carry out ethnoarchaeological fieldwork regarding fuel-related practices among the Vedda indigenous communities in Sri Lanka. In parallel, we will develop archaeobotanical research to interrogate these questions in prehistoric and early historical periods of the island. The building of a wood reference collection will be key and will boost the development of proper charcoal analyses. The results of this research will be integrated to create an educational resource for museums, botanical gardens and schools, with the aim to bring the study of humans and plants interactions to the general public. This project requires f different methodologies, whose field of expertise, facilities and knowledge are shared between academic and non-academic organizations in France, Spain, and Sri Lanka. For the successful development of the project, we involve 21 persons with different categories (PhD students, postdoctoral and senior researchers, technicians, and members of non-academic organizations) developing a total of 64 months of secondments in the institutions involved. This project will set up the basis for sustainable collaboration between academic institutions working on archaeological charcoal and ethnoarchaeology of fuel, and non-academic institutions engaged in educational resources on ethnobotany and the diversity of human uses of plants. The project is organized in 5 packages including four objectives and the management and dissemination of the project. The research will be carried out through long-term secondments by PhD students and shorter secondments by senior researchers and non-academic members. This project will provide scientific impact by delivering training and resources for the study of charcoal remains and socio and economic impact throughout the production of an educational resource.

Projet ACCESS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The vision of ACCESS is to create an integrated framework for remote attendance of (live streamed) performing arts that offers a stronger feeling of presence compared to existing live video streaming products. To this end, we will radically extend the latest advances in Deep Learning (DL)/Artificial Intelligence (AI), we will build upon leading industrial DL capacities, and we will integrate these into mature virtual reality (VR) technologies in a unique and innovative way. Specifically, ACCESS will develop a virtual environment, wherein users: 1) Will be able to watch live-streamed video of performing arts, processed in real-time so that the video appears more focused on areas of the video that the viewer looks at. For instance, a TV director usually points the camera to the person speaking; however, a viewer may want to look at the reactions of another actor. 2) Will be embodied into virtual avatars and be able to interact with a virtual companion. The companion will support short discussions with the viewer, both chit-chat and provision of information related to the presented arts show. This may be able to happen during the live streaming, while waiting for it to start, or at the end of it. 3) Will be able to interact with the virtual personas of other attendants inside a virtual foyer. These three components offer a stronger feeling of presence when attending a live show online. To achieve this vision, ACCESS pursues an intersectoral secondment program that fosters knowledge exchange between academic experts and industrial partners in the cutting-edge technological fields of AI and VR. Additionally, the participation of an arts organization dedicated to supporting contemporary culture and digital art is crucial for the success of this project, both technically as well as for implementing our communication and dissemination ambition and plans.

Projet EUTWIC (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

"Euopean Travel Writing in Context" investigates the thesis that travel writing is a fundamental medium in the process of the major political and social changes in Europe from the late 18th to the middle of the 19th century. In particular, the processes of the formation of collective national identities and cultures as well as the process of the formation of the middle class with its emphasis on the individual’s identity are implicitly depicted, performed and negotiated in travel writing of the period. The growing popularity of travel writing at the time underlines its increased social and political importance. Furthermore, the socio-political functions of the genre are displayed in its changed form and content: from the late 18th century, travel writing increasingly changes from scientific reports to more entertaining literary forms. What is more, the particular features of the genre with regard to form and content (such as the oscillation between fact and fiction, inter- and meta-textuality and multilingualism) correspond to its multiple functions. It is my main objective to analyse the performative character of travel writing with regard to its social and political importance during the transition period from the late 18th to the middle of the 19th century. In order to do so and for the first time in travel writing studies, I propose a comparative analysis of travelogues by European writers between 1760 and 1850. I aim at identifying the particular structures and characteristics of the texts that make them a fundamental medium of the social, cultural and political developments at the time. Hence, EUTWIC will give a much more detailed understanding of the complex functions and characteristics of the hugely popular genre of travel writing. Furthermore, it will help us to gain a better understanding of the processes of the formation of the nation states in Europe that started in the 18th century and are still going on and the construction of individual identities.
