Projet RECENT (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Beyond 5G (B5G) wireless networks will undoubtedly have greatly increased density and scale compared to current networks, resulting in massive interaction between nodes. It will be infeasible to provide fixed connections to all access nodes, and hence these networks will evolve towards a heterogeneous, multihop, self-organizing architecture. Moreover, for several significant B5G scenarios (such as vehicular networks in "smart cities") the topology may be a priori unknown and rapidly time-variant: therefore, it will be impractical to provide a global coordinating authority, and hence these networks will be essentially unsupervised. (Security remains paramount, and physical security mechanisms especially appropriate.) The conventional networking paradigm will be severely limited by interference in these scenarios, greatly reducing efficiency. It has already been shown in both theory and practice that wireless physical-layer network coding (WPNC) is nevertheless capable of resolving this situation because it can allow relay nodes to extract useful information from all combined received signals, rather than treating them as deleterious interference. However, previous work on WPNC [1-5] has not addressed the case of large-scale, unsupervised, secure, dynamic networks. RECENT will address such networks starting with fundamental theory and technology, including information theory, network coded modulation (NCM) for WPNC, stochastic network theory, and physical layer security. The developed technologies will be deployed and validated in the system level simulator and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform. Running in parallel to the technical activities, a rigorously crafted innovation management programme will assess business opportunities of RECENT technologies, taking into consideration standards and regulation, and hence ensure that they achieve their full industrial and societal impact.

Projet SmartHELMET (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Bicycle helmets are a tremendously important asset against head injuries during accidents. However, their normal use is often associated with strong thermal discomfort due to the (thermally) insulating nature of the materials used in their structures. This affects directly the willingness to wear helmets, which has direct implications in terms of the risk to which riders are exposed to. However, the capacity and expertise to improve the thermal performance of helmets exist on academic institutions (e.g. expertise in thermal physiology, monitoring of bio-responses, active cooling) but they lack a viable supply chain to go from prototypes to finished products, ready for exploitation. On the other hand, SMEs lack the technical skills and research facilities to perform R&D activities, to solve the mentioned problem. To solve this intersectoral problem, the SmartHELMET project will create a sustainable ecosystem of collaboration and knowledge transfer between academic and industrial partners that will develop the next generation of bicycle helmets with smart thermal management. The project’s innovative aspects in terms of new products, processes and applications are very significant, as the new knowledge has many potential applications in the development of other smart headgear products (e.g. motorcycle helmets, industrial protective headgear, sports related headgear, etc.) as well as smarts products in other sectors where the thermal aspect is crucial (e.g. protective garments, sports clothing and footwear). To achieve its objectives, SmartHELMET will put together research expertise and resources from three large academic partners with market, commercialization and innovation experience from three SMEs, to exchange knowledge through intersectoral staff secondments. The project will bridge research initiatives between the academic and industrial sectors, creating long-term cooperation between them, while raising society awareness about its implications for citizens.

Projet ElectroSAnMBR (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Bilge water is the main pollutant of shipboard wastewater; it can be briefly defined as saline, oily and greasy wastewater with a high COD (> 3-15 g COD L-1). The discharge of oil residue to marine environments is prohibited according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations (MARPOL 73/78) and the European directive 2000/59/EC. However, due to the fact that the major part of the oil in bilge water is emulsified, the physical methods may fail to satisfy the targeted treatment levels and contribute significantly to operational cost. Few studies are so far available for the use of biological methods for real bilge water treatment. Electro-SAnMBR” project will develop an innovative technology consisting of an electrolysis cell (EC) inside a Submerged Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (SAnMBR) for the treatment of real bilge water. The electrochemical system will be consisted by a pair of electrodes (anode and cathode, without an ion exchange membrane) inside a SAnMBR. This e-SAnMBR system will be developed and optimized at a laboratory scale at Environmental Engineering Laboratory (EEL) Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), then it will be operated at pilot scale at Ecofuel Cyprus Ltd and the microbial profile in bioreactors will be examined at Environmental Bioprocessing laboratory (EBL) at CUT. The electrodes will be constructed at the Nano/Micro Mechanics of Materials Lab (NMML) at CUT The research will be mainly implemented by Dr Gatidou and will involve novel aspects from many disciplines such as molecular microbiology, material science, environmental biotechnology, chemical engineering and environmental analysis and will also involve testing of bioreactors at industrial pilot scale level (Ecofuel Ltd). In addition, potential success of the project could lead to immediate application of the research findings by the company (Ecofuel Ltd) but also to future commercialization of the results

Projet Phonetic Processing (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Bilinguals manage sound (phonetic) systems of two languages. This practice might cause some differences in the nature of phonetic processing of bilinguals compared to monolinguals, a difference to be examined in the proposed research. Some recent neuroimaging studies suggest that special neural circuitry is used by bilinguals in non-native speech perception and that this circuitry provides them with more phonetic sensitivity than monolinguals (Arcilla-Suerte et al., 2013; Petitto et al., 2012). However, only the phonetic sensitivity of bilingual babies has been tested so far. The goal of the proposed research is to address this preliminary hypothesis of the bilingual advantage in phonetic processing by looking at the performance of bilingual adults in phonetic processing tasks. In particular, we plan to assess (1) bilinguals’ sensitivity to co-articulatory cues and (2) the effect of auditory cues (foreign accent) on code-switching costs. If the bilingual advantage hypothesis in phonetic processing is indeed correct, then, we should observe an increase in sensitivity of bilinguals to co-articulatory cue violations and to the presence of accented speech compared to monolinguals. These differences are likely to be observed in behavioural, electroencephalographic (EEG) and neuroimaging (fMRI) responses of two groups. The performance of bilinguals in their native (L1) and non-native languages (L2) will be assessed. In addition, the effects of such factors as L2 age of acquisition, L1 and L2 proficiency, and similarity of phonetic systems of L1 and L2 on the magnitude of phonetic sensitivity will be examined. The outcome of the proposed research has inter-disciplinary impact as it will be of scientific value to psychologists, linguists investigating language processing in bilinguals, educators, and speech/language pathologists working with bilingual populations.

Projet CDE4Peace (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

CDE4Peace will explore the potential of Concept Development and Experimentation (CDE) for enhancing the EU’s conflict prevention and peace-building policy. CDE is seen as a promising tool for the transformation of complex security systems - especially in NATO context - but its potential for EU policies hasn’t yet been investigated. The project therefore will assess the applicability and compatibility of the CDE methodology and tools with strategic and operational concepts in the area of EU conflict prevention and peace-building (CPPB). Furthermore, the project will introduce and adapt CDE to EU CPPB by defining the requirements for an innovative CDE tool tailored for this specific policy area. Finally, the project will define actionable policy recommendations for implementing the CDE methodology and tools in the complex EU policy-making process. The project will employ an interdisciplinary methodology for applied policy research which links qualitative research methods from Conflict and Peace studies with quantitative CDE tools. This innovative research methodology follows a four-phase operational logic: 1) Concept review and quantification; 2) Technology assessment of CDE tools; 3) Definition of requirements for an innovative CDE tool; and 4) Policy recommendations for integrating the CDE methodology in the EU decision-making. The project will clearly contribute to the European Research Area by linking the academic and policy analysis on EU conflict prevention and peace-building with experimental research and CDE in particular. As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie action, it will also enhance the potential of the experienced researcher by a carefully-designed international and intersectoral mobility. In general, the project’s research and innovation objectives are highly relevant for the current developments in the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) which forms the political framework of EU conflict prevention and peace-building.

Projet CLIMAPROX (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

CLIMPROX uses a ground breaking multi-proxy methodology integrating isotopic analysis of ungulates and archaeozooological reappraisal with a additional climatic proxies (pollen, sediments, anthracology, and microfauna) to understand human responses to palaeoenvironmental change over 21 to 7 uncal. ka BP, a crucial period in human evolution. CLIMAPROX explores the role of the environment and climate in the migration of people into the refugia of the Cantabrian region, the flourishing of Upper Palaeolithic societies, and in the subsequent dietary diversification at the end of the Last Glacial period that lay the foundation for the origins of farming in Europe. The multiple scientific datasets, regional and temporal scale of the analysis make CLIMAPROX highly innovative, acting as a case method for future research investigating human-environment interactions across the globe. This project will therefore have a high scientific impact not only in Iberian archaeology, but within the field of European Palaeolithic research, and bioarchaeological, contributing to pertinent discourse into human-environment interactions.

Projet 3DPILcat (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : SIGNED

CO2 is the most abundant renewable carbon source in nature and considerate the major greenhouse gas. The development of carbon neutral processes plays a major role against climate change. Despite the large number of recent reports related to CO2 activation strategies, a viable solution with potential industrial applicability is lacking due to the harsh conditions or low productivities. Ideally, the CO2 should be captured and activated under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. The combination of optimal mixing and high throughput offered by flow chemistry and the ability of catalytic structured reactors to transform CO2 under mild conditions, offers great potential to overcome these limitations. Thus, 3D printing (3DP) techniques appears as a versatile method to fabricate catalytic flow devices with scaling up potential, due to their simple, flexible and adaptable features. Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) emerged as an alternative to fabricate 3D multifunctional structures, with unique, synergistic catalytic and adsorbing abilities. The choice of MATERIAL, REACTOR ARCHITECTURE and the NATURE OF THE CATALYSTS plays an essential role in the efficient CO2 capture and utilization (CCU). 3DPILcat will develop an extremely efficient, configurable, green and scalable protocol for the preparation of TAILORED AND STRUCTURED CATALYTIC DEVICES FOR CCU. The catalysts will be based in PIL co-polymers with CO2-philic moieties, which will capture CO2 at near atmospheric pressure and catalyse the conversion into cyclic carbonates from epoxides and olefins. Combined with a designed architecture obtained from 3DP methodology, the device will act as smart flow reactors highly active, selective and recyclable. The whole body of the structured devices will act as both adsorbent and catalytic agents, employing batch and flow conditions. For the 1st time the PIL, 3DP AND REACTOR ENGINEERING combination applied to CCU will be demonstrated, creating an innovative catalytic product.

Projet COASTAL ROUTES (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

COASTAL ROUTES explores the deep history of human-environment relationships along the environmentally fragile Atlantic coasts of Ireland and Scotland through an interdisciplinary analysis of travel writing between 1770 and 1840. Offering the first comparative study of a neglected archive of Irish and Scottish travel texts from the period, COASTAL ROUTES will energise literary criticism beyond a nation-centred and imperial context by remapping the environmental geography of archipelagic Romanticism. It innovatively combines Environmental Humanities, Archipelagic Criticism and Geocriticism in order to contrast and examine the ways in which tourists construct landscape as a resource; consider how they reflect changing attitudes and values; and demonstrate how environmental narratives grew up around particular locations. COASTAL ROUTES makes a timely contribution to the UN’s Agenda 2030 as it sits at the nexus of Goals relating to sustainable economic growth, consumption and production patterns as well as sustainable development of marine resources. Understanding the historical development of culturally-informed values of the environment as developed in Romantic travel writing allows critical reflection on contemporary practices and future directions. As part of the dissemination plan, project findings will be communicated to the public via social media and a virtual exhibition. COASTAL ROUTES aims at intersectoral knowledge transfer by creating two travel e-brochures made freely available to Visit Scotland and Tourism Ireland for wider dissemination. Through the action, the ER will widen her research expertise, establish a new international network, and develop new skills in public engagement and impact to foster interdisciplinary and intersectoral knowledge transfer to strengthen the knowledge-base of the European Research Area.
