Projet SCI-ALL (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Europe has been witnessing a rapid increase of scientific developments, innovation and creation in the 21st century and transforming into one of the largest and leading scientific hubs of the world in terms of the scientific production and activities. However, the pace of science and technology production is not equally distributed all over the Europe and there are still serious gaps among countries concerning to the rate of scientific research and development activities. Moreover, all outcomes of this excellence and developments in science still cannot be instrumentalised enough to totally eliminate some serious social problems in the European societies. While this proposal pursues the general philosophy and goal of the European Researchers’ Night scheme as to provide a platform for bringing researchers and public together and motivate young people for a scientific career pathways, it also aims to emphasize on how scientific activities and developments can contribute for uniting European society at national and international level by raising awareness on the power of the science for social cohesion, dialogue and also individual development. Stemming from this general rationale, all activities of the “Science Unites All” (SCI-ALL) Researchers’ Night are constructed on the four main themes. These are: (i) Science unites generations, (elderly people, young people and all adult groups); (ii) science unites cultures; (iii) science unites genders; (iv) science unites stakeholders (research institutions and academia, research and development units of the companies, non-governmental organizations working on scientific development and social media settings that disseminate the scientific knowledge).

Projet RESEARCH (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Europe has rich and diverse cultural heritage resources, which include urban and rural landscapes, comprising standing monuments and archaeological remains. Nowadays Europe’s Cultural Heritage (CH) is at risk, endangered by environmental processes and anthropogenic pressures. Physical and chemical destruction and degradation of structures and artefacts amplify the natural deterioration and reduce the ability of the soil to preserve CH. In addition to physical damages, the intensive human activities and the effects of climate changes are responsible of the increase of soil erosion affecting structure stability and producing significant negative consequences on the conservation of the archaeological artefacts. In this scenario, authorities in charge to CH preservation have a strong requirement for systematic, effective, usable and affordable tools and services to monitor the degradation process to enable preventive maintenance and to reduce the cost of the restoration. The broad spectra of Satellite Earth Observations (EO) provide the ideal platform to undertake a wide range of effective, cost-efficient and up-to-date programmable analysis, as a support to traditional tools. RESEARCH addresses the design and development of a multi-task platform, combining advanced remote sensing technologies with GIS application for mapping and long term monitoring of archaeological CH in order to identify changes due to climate changes and anthropic pressures. The EO processing chain will address the major risks affecting CH including the degradation due to soil erosion, land movement and vegetation as well as risks due to anthropic pressure. RESEARCH will coordinate the existing expertise and research efforts of seven beneficiaries into a synergetic plan of collaborations and exchanges of personnel to offer a comprehensive transfer of knowledge and training environment for the researchers in the specific area.

Projet visuAAL (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Europe is facing crucial health and social care challenges due to the demographic shift towards an ageing population and related economic impact from increased provision of care. Innovation in Active and Assisted Living (AAL) solutions has the potential to address these healthcare and social demands while profiting from the economic opportunities driven by the Silver Economy. Advances in computer vision have given video cameras the ability of ‘seeing’, evolving their functionality to become ‘smart cameras’. However, the monitoring using cameras can be seen as intrusive and violating rights to privacy, because of the concern that raw video images could be observed by unauthorised viewers or stored for inappropriate use. Acceptance of such technologies is also low because they create a sense of Orwellian “Big Brother” surveillance. The aim of VISUAAL is to bridge the knowledge gap between users’ requirements and the appropriate and secure use of video-based AAL technologies to deliver effective and supportive care to older adults managing their health and wellbeing. VISUAAL will seek to increase awareness and understanding of the context-specific ethical, legal, privacy and societal issues necessary to implement visual system across hospital, home and community settings, in a manner that protects and reassures users; outputs will stimulate the development of a new research perspective for constructively addressing privacy-aware video-based working solutions for assisted living. This aim will be achieved by providing a transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral combination of training, non-academic placements, courses and workshops on scientific and complementary skills. This holistic training to high achieving early stage researchers will be facilitated by the consortium, a community of researchers and industrial partners from different fields (computer science, engineering, healthcare, law, business, sociology) and other stakeholders (users, policy makers, public services

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

Europe is greying. This has enormous economic and social costs for the entire society, through greater numbers of healthy older adults with cognitive decline, and of people with neurodegenerative disorders that can lead to dementia, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). MOTIVAGEING aims to address this issue by proposing a new approach for the enhancement of working memory (WM) capacity, in order to improve cognitive function, quality of life and wellbeing of healthy older adults and PD patients. In fact, there is no current effective treatment for age-related WM decline or WM deficits and related behavioural and affective problems in PD patients. Based on a promising new theory of cognitive neuroscience, the Motivation-Cognition Interaction (MoCoInt) framework, the present plan employs an interdisciplinary approach: in Study 1, an innovative multimodal functional neuroimaging method is proposed to analyse for the first time the neural mechanisms of MoCoInt in healthy ageing. The new evidence will provide a foundation for Study 2, in which the efficacy of a novel WM training procedure, based on MoCoInt, will be tested in healthy older adults in order to improve their WM capacity. Finally, to understand if this new training procedure can be employed to treat WM deficits in PD, Study 3 investigates for the first time MoCoInt mechanisms in PD patients in relation to pharmacological treatment, through the conduct of a randomised controlled drug trial. Results will enable to extend MoCoInt to healthy and pathological ageing, and to develop a new framework that will be available as a new theoretical model for both researchers and clinicians. MOTIVAGEING will therefore have both a significant scientific multidisciplinary impact, filling several gaps in knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive and clinical neuropsychology, and a valuable social and economic impact in the European Union, helping to address the crucial issues posed by the ageing population.

Projet INHALE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Europe is one of the largest markets for fasteners and automotive sector in the world. About 4% of the gross national product of the EU is destroyed by corrosion. About 25% of this could be avoided by protecting the surface. Typically, pure zinc or zinc alloys are used as cathodic corrosion protection layers due to its sacrificial property. INHALE project will focus on the development of efficient, low toxicity and environmentally friendly halide-free ionic liquids as electrolytes for the electrodeposition of zinc and zinc alloys, used for corrosion resistant coatings applications and address the problem of reducing the material usage by employing light weight structures. The aspects investigated are the electrochemical behaviour of the metals ions, the coating properties (thickness, morphology, quality, corrosion resistance), the effect of the electrolyte conditions (pH, concentration, temperature, conductivity, viscosity ), electrolyte components (cations, anions, metal salts, water content) on the electrodeposition of zinc and zinc-based alloys (containing Ni, Co, Fe etc.). The conductivity of plating bath will be correlated with the current eciency, deposition rate and morphology of the coatings. Influence of the water content on the Ni, Co, Fe content, current eciency, surface morphology, phase structure and corrosion resistance of Zn alloy coating shall be investigated in detail. The effects of viscosity, conductivity and electrochemical window of the ionic liquids (ILs) will be studied in relation to the water content in ILs and nucleation, growth process of the electrodeposited Zn, Zn based alloys. Finally the performance and stability of the halide-free ionic liquid based electrolyte towards improving the plating efficiency shall be validated by carrying out the throughput studies of zinc-based coatings in a 25-30 L plating bath (prepared using the novel, halide-free ionic liquid) and compared with aqueous solution based system.

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

Europe-wide, both Muslim and non-Islamic (policy) actors express the need for domestic ‘imam-education programs’. In most cases, however, a top-down approach is applied in thinking about its implementation; preferably in Western, formal institutes (whether it be universities, private institutions or seminaries) based upon an officially recognized curriculum of ‘descriptive’, ‘Islamic’ and ‘secular’ sciences, which ought to prepare candidates for future religious and civic leadership. However, one of the major challenges of these educational programs is the acquisition of sufficient legitimacy in the Muslim communities concerned. Therefore, bottom-up research is needed in order to understand the internal processes of legitimate and trustworthy authority formation oriented around knowledge. This constitutes the object of the proposed research project, which seeks to understand these topical concerns from an anthropological perspective in Brussels and Den Haag; with a focus on the needs, aims and desires of the people and communities concerned. Through interviews with students and teachers, as well as the organization of workshops and focus groups, I try to answer the following three research questions: (1) What is/are the kind(s) of authority figure(s) at stake? What are the constructed, presumed or perceived differences between 'traditional' and 'academized' forms of authority? (2) What kind of knowledge allows for which kind of legitimacy? More specifically, how is 'sacred' knowledge envisioned or conceptualized by both Muslim students and teachers? Who is able to grasp and transmit it, and how does it differ from, what is called, ‘profane knowledge’? (3) What allows for a sense of trustworthiness or certainty in a context of internal divergence? How is legitimacy attained in a reality of far-reaching internal divergence, for instance, regarding the different madhāhib (juridical schools)? How do students negotiate or deal with this pluralism?

Projet ERN 2021 SVK (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

European Researchers Night is the biggest science festival for broad public organised in Slovakia. Every year, it gathers researchers from all over the country who meet with people and science enthusiasts in unusual places outside of laboratories and universities. The whole-day program of the ERN is organised in shopping malls and in an Old Market Hall that is accessible and available for free to all citizens. Festival attracts visitors of all age categories and provides varied program from different fields of science and innovation. Science and the work of researchers is presented through interactive formats, activities, competitions, quizzes, discussions, and presentations. Thousands of visitors attend the ERN in Slovakia every year including the whole classes of students that engage in various program activities. Thanks to informal atmosphere and interactive formats, visitors have a unique opportunity to approach scientists, ask them questions and experience science. The ERN also brings science to schools via Scientific Courier that will consist of scientific kits for teachers and pupils. The science festival aims to be inclusive, providing equal opportunities to citizens and students all over the country to participate in the program. The main motto - Try it! It is science! - calls visitors and students to action aiming to engage them in hands-on science and experiments. It will instigate their interest in exploring and further knowledge seeking. Experience based on demonstrations and direct interaction is crucial in the dominant world of online information and digital communication. The ERN traditionally reflects the current topics so the 2021 edition will include topic of post-COVID society and recovery and the importance of science and innovation in this process. Environmental topics and climate-related challenges will also be important part of the science festival and they will also be present in the eco-friendly organisation of the science festival.

Projet SOCIETY (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

European Researchers' Night (ERN) events promoted by the SOCIETY Consortium will take place in 5 cities (Bologna, Forlì, Cesena, Ravenna and Rimini), with a program extended to both 2018 and 2019, for a total project duration of 18 months. SOCIETY aims to present research as the best tool to sort out the Societal Challenges that human beings face. SOCIETY will rely on interactivity and engagement at large: the project will aim to produce a Night co-design approach, in which researchers together with society will conceive the event programme. After the success of the previous ERN edition, the Consortium comes with a new proposal, inspired by the EU Year of Cultural Heritage. This is reflected by the new concept pointed out in the new title and acronym, where SOCIETY now stands for words that can be used to define our cultural heritage: Science, histOry, Culture, musIc, Environment, arT, technologY. The proposal stands at the intersection between these concepts. We’ll try to identify the features that shape and define our perception of ourselves and how we perceive who lives near and far from us. What is it that defines our culture? How and when is it that what we know, what we do, where we are, how we speak and move, and eat, and wear become culture? And finally, can our cultural heritage help us look ahead, understand the present, and to imagine the future? ERN events will explore the many ways in which research may help us understand, sustain, preserve, and develop our cultural heritage, in all its various shades and declinations.They will be designed in order to attract different kinds of publics. However, secondary school students, who are about to make their choice in terms of career, will be a privileged target, also through the involvement of Eu and MSCA researchers. Specific effort will be devoted to involve female young researchers and students in the activities, to stress that research needs increasing contribution from women to reach its goals.
