Projet CoBioPovCli (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

CoBioPovCli addresses the question of how to conserve biodiversity, alleviate poverty, and mitigate climate change simultaneously, which are interrelated challenges that threaten human and environmental well-being. The importance of this topic is highlighted by the current context of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, which have exacerbated these problems and their impacts on human and environmental well-being. The main gaps in this topic are: (1) lack of comprehensive data, especially on the dynamics of socio-ecological systems, (2) lack of integrated knowledge, and (3) lack of holistic approaches that consider co-benefits and synergies. CoBioPovCli aims to overcome the limitations and gaps in the current state-of-the-art by developing an integrated spatial planning approach that can achieve win-win synergies between biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation, and climate change mitigation from a social-ecological systems perspective. CoBioPovCli will use literature, models remote sensing data, and other data sources to construct and apply the spatial planning approach, based on case studies, spatial analysis and scenario simulation. CoBioPovCli will generate new knowledge, data and solutions that are conceptually novel, scientifically rigorous and policy-relevant. It will enhance our understanding of the multiple values of biodiversity and its contributions to human well-being under changing climatic conditions. It will provide evidence-based recommendations and best practices for promoting more integrated and sustainable approaches that benefit both people and the planet. CoBioPovCli will also enhance Europe’s scientific and technical capacity and excellence in the field of co-benefits and synergies between biodiversity conservation, poverty alleviation, and climate change mitigation, as well as contribute to Europe’s global leadership and influence in addressing these interlinked challenges.

Projet ECoSync (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The proposed action titled “ECoSync” aims to incorporate computational modelling as a pivotal framework for elucidating the intricate dynamics of social bonding. This new framework is crucial for the European Work Programme in the current global crises. The action perfectly aligns with the Programme's vision of addressing pressing societal challenges for the well-being and stability of European communities. Recognizing the profound impact of emotions on human well-being, this research endeavors to uncover the underlying mechanisms that govern the emergence of social bonding. The action includes training in computational modelling and fundamental research in musical performance. It highlights interpersonal synchronization as a method for cultivating strong interpersonal connections. Understanding the interplay between emotions and interpersonal synchronization in musical interaction opens up new avenues for exploration, supporting resilience and recovery in the context of global adversity through social bonding.  To quantify the processes underlying the formation of social bonds, we will execute a sequence of three work packages (i.e., WP2-WP4). These work packages will synergistically integrate cutting-edge methodologies from nonlinear dynamical systems, social and affective neurosciences, and music psychology. WP2 will focus on the computational mapping of emotional effects on interpersonal coupling. In WP3, we will validate and refine the model through empirical dyadic musical interaction, leveraging advanced motion capture and physiological techniques. In WP4, we will investigate how emotions influence group synchronization and its subsequent impact on social bonding.  Finally, the action’s international mobility and training in research will broaden the applicant's academic portfolio and develop extensive experience as well as professional connections, furthering the advancement of the applicant's career as an independent researcher.

Projet VISADIPLO (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The EU visa policy, also known as the Schengen visa policy, relies on a “positive” list of third-country nationals (TCN) exempted from visas to travel to the EU, and on a “negative” list of TCN subject to visa obligations. Visa requirements play an essential role in international relations but are overlooked in the case of the EU, whose visa policy has mostly been studied as a tool to limit irregular immigration. This project “VISADIPLO: EU visa diplomacy in world politics” consists in an innovative and comprehensive study of the making of the visa requirement lists. It addresses a series of three research objectives. The first objective is to map the priorities linked to EU visa diplomacy, not only border enforcement but also trade, tourism attractiveness, energy supplies or sanctioning foes, as the recent suspension of EU-Russia visa facilitation agreement demonstrates. The second objective is to understand how these priorities are negotiated by the Member States’ representatives, in spite of concurring national interests. The last objective is to question the distributional effects of EU visa diplomacy and bring evidence of the global travel inequalities resulting from EU visa requirements. This project adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing inspiration from Migration Diplomacy and Sociology of the EU. It relies on an original multi-method approach combining a quantitative study of the evolutions of visa requirement lists, qualitative semi-directed interviews with EU decision-makers and geovisualization analysis, since the findings on the unequal distribution of global mobility resulting from EU visa diplomacy will be represented in the form of an interactive map, published and available online. VISADIPLO aims to have a societal impact by bringing awareness and transparency to a policy whose opacity and negative impact on human mobility are often criticized.

Projet SWON (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

This project investigates the similarities between superhero narrative in modern popular culture and medieval Icelandic literature so as to (1) establish a viable theoretical framework based on current research on superheroes and (2) to apply it to a selection of medieval Icelandic texts that feature strong, politically powerful women who do not conform to conventional gender roles. The primary corpus will be drawn from the legendary and the chivalric sagas between ca. 1300 and 1600, which were composed under heavy influence of medieval French romances. Criteria will be established so as to define 'she-wolf' -- a concept drawn from both the Old Norse-Icelandic traditions of shapeshifting and fylgja and later chivalrid literature, and from the symbolism of wolf in European folklore that gave rise to Shakespeare's epithet 'she-wolf'. Based on the criteria, relevant characters will be classified into physical-visual, metaphorical-associative, and behaviourable she-wolves for further case-study based analysis. On the methodological side, this project constructs a spectrum based on character-types in superhero narratives: villain, anti-villain, and anti-hero, into which different categories of she-wolves will be analysed. A selection of post-medieval texts with roots traceable to the medieval materials will also be considered to highlight the motif's continuity and contemporary relevance. Overall, this project aims to bridge three academic fields -- medieval (literary) studies, medievalisms, and popular culture -- and shed lights not only on Old Norse-Icelandic literary motifs (such as the Maiden King and the supernatural elements) but also on the conceptualisation and representation of female, femininity, and issues of gender and ethnicity in the society that produced and enjoyed this literature.

Projet FSTS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project “From Stick to Screen: Digital Editions of Runic Inscriptions as Research Tools” will create a born-digital, interactive and open-access critical corpus edition of the runic inscriptions from the four medieval Norwegian trading towns Bergen, Trondheim, Oslo and Tønsberg. It will address the challenges of proper digital representation of runes from a multidisciplinary perspective, aiming to present a solution to existing challenges.  The main objective of the project is to examine new ways of digitally editing and analysing runic inscriptions with a view to how digital museums/editions can be actively used to conduct research. Two case studies will be undertaken to show how the new digital edition of the runic inscriptions from Bergen, Trondheim, Oslo and Tønsberg can immediately be used as a tool for research. The case studies represent two further research objectives of the project. The first case study focuses on the diachronic and geographical spread of runes and variations of runes within these four towns, and will try to identify regional differences in the use of certain runic characters in the material. The second case study will analyse the diachronic and geographical spread of the names appearing in the runic inscriptions from these four towns with a view to the identity, geographic mobility and gender distribution of the rune-carvers.  The project will rely on the infrastructure at the Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo, to publish and link high-quality photographic documentation of the runic inscriptions to data collected about these inscriptions. Photographs and research data combined will form the new digital edition. This in turn will be made accessible to all interested audiences at the end of the project as an interactive tool. The results of the two case studies will be directly accessible when using the digital edition, furthering understanding and knowledge about medieval runic inscriptions from trading towns.

Projet HIDRA (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Mathematics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The pervasive role of algebraic topology in mathematics is proof of the powerful effects that homological invariants produce in the development of the discipline. Extending these techniques beyond the category of topological spaces, in order to include "quantized" systems arising from dynamical systems and (quantum) groups, is going to be extremely useful to make fast progress in these fields. The framework of operator algebras and noncommutative geometry is extremely well-suited for these developments and has already been applied with some success. The goal of this proposal is to further develop these homological techniques by supporting them with novel methods based on triangulated categories, homotopy theory, and index theory. The research problems tackled in this Action are deeply related to important topics which attracted a great deal of interest in the mathematical community. For example, we study the celebrated Baum-Connes conjecture (for both groupoids and quantum groups) through a relatively unexplored perspective and relate it to the computation of K-theoretic and homological invariants for notable dynamical systems (e.g., Smale's Axiom A diffeomorphisms). This research will provide mathematicians with both conceptually new approaches and powerful computational tools. Some of these results are relevant not only for pure mathematics, but also for solid-state physics and quantum information theory. This Action will take us one step closer to the solution of significant problems or the formulation of more and more refined research questions. This fellowship will allow V. Proietti to work under the supervision of M. Yamashita (a world-class expert on quantum groups) at the University of Oslo (a leading institution in operator algebras). It will expand the fellow's technical expertise and integrate it with essential management, administrative, and dissemination skills which will help V. Proietti reach a position of professional maturity.

Projet Collab4Multi (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The research project ‘Post-Repatriation: Collaborative Methodologies to Enhance Multivocality’ (acronym: Collab4Multi) speaks to the Indigenous research methodologies and partnerships in community-based research in academia and beyond. It strives to explore the recently recovered archaeological material from the Nunalleq site (1400-1675 AD) in southwest Alaska in close collaboration with non-academic research partners, including Indigenous artists and young culture bearers. The pre-colonial history of the Yup'ik is poorly known from the archaeological point of view: most of what we know about it comes from the Nunalleq site. It is therefore important that the interpretations of the Nunalleq collection be multivocal and produced combining the strengths of Western archaeological science with Indigenous knowledge systems and worldviews. Advocating for multivocality and decolonisation of academic research, this project will critically analyse the re-socialisation of cultural heritage in and by the living community. The research programme of the project rests on a series of arts-based workshops to study this world-class collection of Yup’ik people and (re)create the life-stories of its artefacts together with Indigenous research partners. The project will also explore the collaborative ways of knowledge co-production and dissemination by developing and piloting co-writing methods informed by Indigenous epistemologies. The practical outcomes will contribute to the advancement of collaborative methodologies in archaeological and museological research with and for Indigenous communities across the Arctic region.

Projet SAMVIND (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2021)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Decarbonisation of the energy system is key to achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to below 2°C which can be achieved by electrified and interconnected systems with a high share of variable renewables. This transition is shaped by uncertain factors, which include technology innovation, resource availability, and socio-economic variables. Energy system modelling (ESM) has been a key policy tool to study decarbonisation pathways. ESM provides stakeholders in the energy sector with knowledge-based and systematic methods to reach decisions about which technologies to support. However, present day ESM mainly integrates techno-economical input parameters, whereas social factors, such as local responses to new installations, are largely neglected. ESM might therefore produce solutions that are not accepted by communities and as a result, could jeopardize energy transition goals. The main goal of SAMVIND is to develop an innovative and highly interdisciplinary mixed-methods approach to represent community acceptance, stakeholder interests, and well-being variables in ESM. This new methodology will be developed and applied to the case of Norway, a country with excellent wind resources but high local opposition towards their development. The methodology will contribute to elucidate the impacts of community barriers and value the costs and benefits of alternative options on the net zero energy system design in Norway and the effects on long term, whole system decarbonisation in an interconnected Europe. This project will be made possible by combining the applicant’s experience in social acceptance of renewable technologies, and the supervisors and host’s (University of Oslo) expertise in ESM. The methodological and interdisciplinary training-through-research and unique set of skills gained from SAMVIND will position the researcher at the forefront of socio-technical energy transitions modelling.

Projet FERROPLAST (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Organic plastic ferroelectrics with inherent pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties have the potential to outperform traditional ceramic ferroelectrics, particularly in terms of sustainability and large area fabrication as flexible coatings. The latter is highly sought as means to continue the current evolution of humanoid robots by offering touch sensitive electronic skins. FERROPLAST focuses on development of plastic ionic crystals (PICs) as the active sensitive component of such skins. PICs are comprised of globular ions tethered by weak intermolecular forces and demonstrate plastic crystal phase at higher temperatures. The PIC ferroelectrics possess intriguing features as high pyro and piezoelectric coefficients, malleability, and multi-axial polarization suitable to realize multi-sensor property in flexible thin films. FERROPLAST proposes: (1) Rational designing of PICs based on chirality, ionic size and intermolecular interaction strength to have high pyro/piezoelectric coefficients; (2) Fabrication of crystalline and phase pure PIC thin films embedded in elastomer by molecular layer deposition (MLD) for application as flexible electronic skin; (3) Study of crystal phase landscape in thin films under variable temperature and pressure using grazing incidence XRD to estimate multi-sensor ability of PICs; (4) Selection of ions by insight in entropy of phase transitions as calculated by first principle DFT studies. At the core of FERROPLAST is knowledge building and exchange between the experienced researcher’s background in supramolecular chemistry to design and synthesize PIC ferroelectrics and the host’s core focus on MLD thin film engineering and characterization of physical properties in thin film structures, and the secondment on first principle DFT calculation of lattice phonon density of state. FERROPLAST will expand the competence and focus of all parties by mutual aid and competence building to push our respective fields further beyond state of art.
