Projet TheaTheor (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main objective of this project is to reconsider the traditional conception of the individual creation of a theater text and to propose a new theory about the production of 'Comedia Nueva' (1580-1635). This model is going to be established from the information extracted from analyzing a corpus of autograph plays, using palaeographic and codicological knowledge, but also incorporating digital technologies, such as hyperspectral photography. The result will offer a faithful reflection of the production process of Spanish Golden Age Theater, will provide a methodological protocol for the manuscripts analysis through photographic and digital instruments and will allow us to establish active collaboration between playwrights and other agents of the theater system. The project will contribute to research on the formation of European classical theater of the 16th and 17th centuries and will enrich the fields of Modern Literature, History of Theater and Spanish Theater of the Golden Age.

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

The main question that guides this research project is: what can Europe learn about its past and present film archiving and heritage practices through collections kept abroad? Focusing on Latin America, the objective of this Fellowship is to identify how the dissemination of European film heritage informs past and present archival practices, and the understanding of both European identity and its representations. It will analyse a decade (1948–1959) of circulation of films between both continents shaped by the creation of Cinematheques affiliated with the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF). It will concentrate, more specifically, on the film exchanges between the Cinémathèque Française and the Cinematheques of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Nowadays, especially for younger generations, it is difficult to imagine the way films travelled in the 1950s. To gain a better understanding of why these four institutions entered this exchange circuit, it is necessary to analyse the actual corpus, especially now that digital technologies are making these films visible again. Adopting an inter-archival and multilingual methodology, which expands cross-continentally, this Fellowship will emphasise the transnational dimensions of film and to highlight the common connections between archival collections around the world. This innovative approach will demonstrate the value of analysing the history of exhibition abroad to review and complement the European film histories written until now. A thorough study of these channels of European film dissemination will also help to understand past European film archiving and heritage practices in order to assist present institutional and policy-making decisions related to film preservation, exhibition and accessibility more broadly.

Projet SynFoNY (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Doctoral Networks - Industrial Doctorates
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The main research objective is the formulation of new types of multimetaloxide nanocrystals for incorporation as artificial pinning centers in nanocomposite thin films processed using chemical solution deposition. Superconducting coated conductors are chosen as the proof of concept. Innovative chemical deposition methods and the incorporation of preformed and inert multimetaloxide nanocrystals as pinning centres into the superconducting nanocomposite thin film are the innovative aspects compared to ongoing research. A successful realisation of the objectives of this EID proposal will need training of ESRs on different aspects ranging from chemical precursor design, stabilisation of nanocrystals in precursor solutions, continuous deposition of superconducting nanocomposite coatings and optimisation of the superconducting properties in alternating magnetic fields. The main objective of this programme is, in line with the EID scope, to enhance the career perspectives of early stage researchers (ESRs) by providing the unique opportunity to be exposed to research and training in both an academic as well as an industrial environment. This will be facilitated through the partnership between Ghent University and the industrial partner Deutsche Nanoschicht GmbH, bringing together two widely respected research partners, active in the field of inorganic nanomaterials synthesis and coating development for improved superconducting wires for energy applications. The involved partner organisations entered the project for specific added value in terms of industrial scaled synthesis of nanocomposite precursors (hte GmbH: high troughput designs; BASF SE: new formulations and flow chemistry) and Univ. of Turku (physical characterisation).

Projet Tbet ILC JFN (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The maintenance of intestinal homeostasis has local and systemic implications for the host health and depends on a balance regulated by interactions between the immune system and the gut microbiota. Recently, it has become clear that a newly identified group of cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), have a crucial role in intestinal homeostasis and host defence. ILCs respond rapidly to changes in the gut microenvironment and produce several cytokines that regulate intestinal inflammation. Although the pathways responsible for ILCs’ development and differentiation are only starting to be elucidated, the transcription factor T-bet has emerged as a key regulator of these processes. This proposal aims to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in the T-bet-dependent development and function of ILCs and how these processes can be modulated by the intestinal microbiota. First, we propose to use a novel lineage-tracing mouse model that uses dual fluorescence reporters to differentiate between cells that currently express T-bet from cells that used to express T-bet, in order to distinguish between the mechanisms responsible for ILCs development from the mechanisms involved in ILCs function. In addition, we aim to uncover novel T-bet associated pathways that are active on intestinal ILCs, and understand how these pathways are regulated by the gut microbiome. Moreover, we aim to develop a novel in vitro co-culture system of ILCs in intestinal organoids, which will facilitate our studies and benefit future studies investigating the development and functions of intestinal lymphocytes. The detailed study of ILCs development, differentiation and function and the identification of novel T-bet and microbiota associated pathways will open new possibilities in the modulation of ILC’s functions and inform on how to divert these cells away from their pathogenic phenotypes that are responsible for gut inflammation and could have a significant impact on the field of intestinal immunity.

Projet BiCiCle (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The major cause of cancer-associated mortality is tumor metastasis, a complex multistep process where cancer cells spread within the patient’s body. There is an emerging realization that the fearsome vectors of this cancer dissemination are clusters of so-called circulating tumor cells (CTC) that travel together in the bloodstream where they are subjected to important mechanical forces. Nevertheless, the current knowledge of how these cells are held together is extremely limited. This proposal aims at unravelling the biophysical properties of CTCs clusters from the molecular level to the multicellular level. The applicant Dr Valotteau proposes to use her experience in atomic force microscopy (AFM) to carry out this project under the supervision of Dr Rico who has well-established expertise in high speed force spectroscopy (HS-FS), in collaboration with Dr Pannequin who is a specialist of CTC. This project will be hosted by CNRS in the Laboratoire Adhesion & Inflammation (LAI) which is one of a very few laboratories worldwide equipped with HS-FS, enabling to correlate the characterization of the cell-cell adhesion with the study of the viscoelastic properties of single CTC and CTC clusters over a wide dynamic range physiologically relevant. By gathering complementary resources at the crossroad of cell biology, biophysics and nanotechnology, this BiCiCle project will fill an important knowledge gap about CTC cluster and greatly benefit to the career development of Dr Valotteau. Indeed, this fellowship will provide her a stimulating multidisciplinary environment and topic to set the basis of her own independent research project to become an academic researcher leading in the interdisciplinary field of biophysics.

Projet RE-HOUSING (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The ongoing refugee streams that derive mainly from the Middle East and North African conflict areas are a central issue to the growing socio-spatial debate about the different facets of contemporary crisis. The moving populations that cross boundaries heading to the European North, destabilize both territorial certainties and established governance politics. A noticeable body of literature is currently emerging, exploring aspects of social philanthropy, humanitarianism, NGOs’ activities and State immigration policies related to the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe. However, there is little attempt to research how the refugees themselves self-organize, and enact the production of collective housing and shared common spaces based on principles of self-organization and mutual help. The proposed project aims to fill this gap. Following the recent spatial approaches on “commons” and “enclosures” the research project intends to explore forms and modes of refugee led solidarity housing commons, and compare and contrast these with State-run refugee camps. The project focuses empirically on Turkey, Greece and Serbia and in particular, in Istanbul, Athens and Belgrade. These cities are at the epicentre of the refugee crisis. Since, March 2016, when the borders in Balkan countries were closed for all third-country migrants and the EU-Turkey deal was signed, thousands of refugees were trapped in Turkey, Greece and Serbia. It is estimated that there are more than 500 thousand refugees in Istanbul waiting to cross the borders to Europe. Athens is the main refugee transit city in Greece with almost 20 thousand refugees whilst approximately 10 thousand refugees are currently trapped in Belgrade. This project aims to examine the refugees’ right to housing as it is expressed by the Turkish, Greek and Serbian States housing policies and the way these policies relate to the solidarity housing practices in each country.

Projet MECODIHR (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The open ocean is the largest biome on Earth, yet it is the least protected. A major obstacle to its conservation lies in the fine-grained understanding of how marine organisms are affected by the ocean dynamics. In the last decades remote sensing and bio-logging drastically increased our understanding to how phytoplankton (that can be observed from space as ocean color) and large marine animals (that can be followed with sensors directly attached to them) responds to oceanic turbulence down to the mesoscale (few weeks-months, 10-100 km). A major knowledge gap still concerns the so-called "intermediate trophic levels" (ITLs, i.e. zooplankton and micronekton,) and how mesoscale currents (such as fronts and eddies) affect them. This is the focus of the MECODIHR project. The project uses an unprecedented combination of remote-sensing, and modelling on a multi-disciplinary in-situ database collected in the North-West Atlantic to identify patterns in the distribution of ITLs, relate them to physical structures and biogeochemical observations and make hypotheses about why such relationships arise. High-resolution state-of-the-art modelling allows to test the validity of the formulated hypotheses, clarify the mechanisms behind observed co-localisations and expand the extent of findings. High resolution in-situ measurements and modelling allows to approach how submesoscale dynamics (and its inter-seasonal variability) affect the distribution of ITLs. The MECODIHR results, acquired between the two multidisciplinary highly-reknown oceanographic laboratory of the University of Washington (outgoing phase : 2 years) and the Université de Bretagne Occidentale (incoming phase : 1 year), will provide critical information for open ocean conservation. The MECODIHR project will also train Dr. Della Penna with a rare combination of skills (including scientific, communicative, technical and transferable skills) that are fundamental to face the future challenges of marine sciences.

Projet Stable PeLEDs (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The organometal halide perovskites as optoelectronic materials possess numerous advantages of high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies, low cost, low-temperature and large-area solution process, exhibiting great potential in display and lighting applications. Considerable progress has been made in efficiency of perovskite light-emitting diode (PeLED), but the stability issues limit its commercialization. The goal of this project is to achieve stable and efficient PeLEDs based on addressing the root causes of the degradation of device under current stress, which may be related to Auger recombination, ion migration and Joule heating. The plan is to incorporate many of the technologies first developed in the host group at the Cavendish Laboratory and my group at the Nanjing Tech University, which have been global leaders in PeLEDs development over the last few years. This project will evaluate the lifetime of PeLEDs under varying current densities and temperatures. Microscopic post-mortem examination and photophysics characterization of aged devices will be used to determine failure mechanisms. The fundamental physics-based models of degradation will be developed. Finally, the project will achieve high efficiency and long operational lifetime PeLEDs by optimization of materials, deposition process and device structure. This project involves multiple disciplines and complementary expertise. The training will broaden my knowledge on photophysics, device physics and strengthen my transferable skills. Further, it will allow the transfer of my knowledge to the host group and develop a lasting collaboration. It is expected that the implementation of this project will promote the commercialization of PeLEDs, and have long lasting benefits both for fundamental research and industry in Europe.

Projet WEAPON (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The origins of human conflict, up to and including warfare, lie not in historical documents but in the prehistoric archaeological record. While some evidence is ambiguous, injuries to the skeleton are the indisputable result of real incidents. Neolithic (6000-3000 BC) graves of the Mid-Upper Ebro and Mid-Upper Rhine valleys (northern Spain and northeastern France, respectively) contain skeletons with skeletal trauma and/or arrowhead injuries. Some of these may represent massacres involving many individuals. Moreover, emerging isotopic evidence suggests the existence of specialised warriors among them – potentially the first such in Europe. This reflects a rise in social unrest and provides an outstanding opportunity for investigating almost intangible cultural aspects. The WEAPON (Warrior Elites: Assessing their Presence and Organisational identity in Neolithic Europe) project proposes an unprecedented interdisciplinary approach to explore the identity and life-histories of those involved in the violence observed in this pivotal period. A combination of analytical methods will be used to this end, including stable carbon, nitrogen and sulphur analysis of bone collagen and tooth dentine, strontium and oxygen analysis of tooth enamel, and radiocarbon dating. The research aims to confirm the existence of ‘specialised warriors’, as well as to investigate if violence, whether regular or not, may relate to the emergence of inequalities and/or population movements across Neolithic Europe.
