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

The DESIGN project will conduct sociological study of the relationship between radical ideas, change, and violence in defence organisations based on the ongoing transnational diffusion of second generation design across four NATO member and partner organisations: NATO Defence College, the Royal Danish Defence College, the Design Centre for Excellence (Poland) and Swedish Defence University. Design means the art of transforming reality into a preferred one by opening conceptual possibilities that were unthinkable before. This add-on to defence planning is paradoxical as it seeks to leverage the critical and creative capacities of officers at the expense of the very principles sustaining modern defence organisations. The project will investigate what made this development possible and what differences, if any, design is making to those managing violence and to those being managed by violence? To provide unique answers to these questions, UCPH Centre for Experimental Economics (CEE) will provide training to adapt field experiment methods to sociological approaches to better observe design in practice. Using this new method promises data challenging deeply held assumptions on the relationships between ideas, change and violence in International Relations and Design Studies. A broader impact can also be expected by exposing the promises and dangers of design thinking to both users and stakeholders. I will significantly benefit from undertaking the action at UCPH as it is uniquely equipped to develop the interdisciplinary assemblage required. The project will benefit from being located at the intersection of three leading research centres in the Department of Political Science: the Centre for Military Studies (CMS), the Centre for Advanced Security Theory (CAST) and the Centre for Resolution of International Conflicts (CRIC). Beyond the University, Copenhagen is an ideal location to learn from its avant-garde design movement in private, public and education sectors.

Projet EPIRIDE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : TERMINATED

The EPIRIDE project will use a combination of novel experimental and computational techniques to explore the role of epigenetics in long-term adaptive strategies of large vertebrates in response to rapid climate change. Modern and ancient horse bone samples will be analysed for epigenetic markers using advanced high-throughput sequencing approaches, and the epigenomic landscapes will be contrasted over a 30,000-year record of major climatic and environmental shifts. EPIRIDE has strong potential to reveal key genomic regions for climate adaptation in large herbivores, with considerable implications for conservation genetics and livestock management.

Projet MBM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The ER (Dr Sean Dyde) is a promising early career researcher, having obtained his PhD in 2014 and published 5 articles in top-tier journals and respected edited collections, whose main focus to date has been the history of the biomedical sciences. The PI (Professor Gregory Radick), has published extensively across the history of the human sciences, has experience leading national and international projects, and has engaged in many public engagement activities. The host institution (Leeds) is an internationally renowned centre of research with strengths in the history and philosophy of science. The project's overall objective is to use state of the art research in the history and philosophy of science to reposition current debates over the role of the neurosciences in defining human nature, by placing the relations between the sciences and the humanities into historical perspective. This project builds upon the ER's established research expertise in the history of the biomedical sciences, but with the support of the PI and the host institution, the scope of his work will be extended into the history of the humanities. The ER's 5-10 year career aim is to expand his areas of expertise into the history of the British human sciences and the history of German philosophy and medicine. This project maps a path to achieve this by connecting his existing expertise in the history of the biomedical sciences with the history of the humanities and the reception of German philosophical ideas into Britain during the nineteenth century. Europe remains a world-leader for research into the history and philosophy of science, and this project will allow the ER to progress in his academic career and consolidate links between English- and German-speaking scholars. Work produced by the project will be used by researchers in Europe as it will advance new historiographical positions, develop important connections between different sub-fields, and contribute to current debates.

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

The EU faces the challenge to protect pelagic biodiversity over immense Overseas Countries and Territories. However, cost-efficient, safe and reproducible methods are still missing for assessing the diversity and abundance of pelagic megafauna (marine mammals, sea turtles and sharks). We will adapt image-based surveys and deep learning—a new method based on artificial intelligence—to pelagic megafauna. A Coral Sea Nature Park (CSNP) was recently created in New Caledonia Overseas Territory but this area still lacks reserves in pelagic ecosystems. We will propose a reserve network that optimises the trade-off between critical habitat protection of pelagic megafauna and fisheries economic profitability in this area. This network will directly advise decision makers of the CSNP and help fulfil IUCN target of 30% of oceans protected by reserves by 2030. Our objectives are: RO1—Detect pelagic megafauna, RO2—Predict pelagic megafauna hotspots, and RO3—Protect hotspots in the Coral Sea. To reach RO1, image-based surveys will be conducted and megafauna will be automatically detected on images using deep learning. To reach RO2, habitat models will be used to predict megafauna diversity and abundance as a function of environmental variables. To reach RO3, fisheries economic data will be incorporated to propose a reserve network optimising both conservation and economic needs. This project will be jointly hosted by the Marine Biodiversity Exploitation and Conservation Laboratory (MARBEC) and the Montpellier Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM), both part of the University of Montpellier. Supervised by D. Mouillot (MARBEC) and M. Chaumont (LIRMM), I will receive the best appropriate interdisciplinary training. After an enriching research experience in the U.S, I aim to integrate a long-term research position in Europe. This fellowship would be a superb opportunity to develop an independent and innovative research project in marine numerical ecology.

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

The EU-28’s yearly public Research and Development (R&D) expenditure amounts to more than EUR 100 billion, which must be used in an efficient, impact-driven yet fair way. Funding mechanisms and policies have thus considerably evolved in the last few decades, sometimes with adverse effects. The resulting intense budget scrutiny puts pressure on all categories of actors: at policy (decision makers); implementation (researchers); and receiver (general public) levels, generating category-specific issues and biases that hinder creating optimal funding mechanisms and policies. To provide a solution, this project develops an innovative public engagement approach inspired by participative democracy theory and practices. It will produce for the first time an unbiased mapping of the agendas and needs of all three actor categories and use it to delineate relevant policy recommendations. This ambitious objective will be achieved by focusing on the French system, taking advantage of the research-intensive area of Grenoble where the beneficiary is located. In practice, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will produce a review of the state of the art of public R&D funding mechanisms and policies in France, define the public engagement and debate technique to be used, before implementing it upon 3 separate groups --one for each actor category-- over a period of 1.5 years. This innovative, multi-disciplinary research process and its outcome will be valorised through academic and outreach communications as well as dialogue with relevant national and European stakeholders. This project, marking the return of the ER to a research career in Europe after years working abroad as a practitioner in international relations and research management, features a comprehensive suite of scientific and transversal skills training and knowledge transfer activities that will place the ER as an ideal catalyst for the creation of a local expertise cluster in science policy and the science of science.

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

The Earth’s deep chlorine (Cl) cycle remains poorly understood. A major amount of Cl is brought into the mantle by subduction, but a significant fraction is returned as Cl-rich brines, although high concentrations of Cl in parts of the mantle are attested to by inclusions in diamonds. Cl-rich brines likely play central roles in transporting elements to form magmatic ore deposits. The proposed research will investigate the deep Cl cycle from an experimental perspective, focusing on Cl partitioning and δ37Cl stable isotope fractionation between fluids, melts and relevant mantle phases. The high pressure-temperature experiments will be performed at the Australian National University, Australia and the University of Frankfurt, Germany, with Cl analyses and isotope fractionation enabled by state-of the-art instruments (SHRIMP in Canberra and SIMS in Heidelberg, Germany). These innovative experiments will help quantify the Earth’s deep halogen cycle, while also providing constrains to test hypotheses on magmatic ore deposit formation from a perspective that is significantly different from those currently available. During his Diploma (University of Mainz), PhD, and post doctoral studies (University of Münster; Sorbonne Université Paris) the applicant used a wide range of analytical and experimental methods, while gaining a profound knowledge of halogens, isotope fractionation, and phase equilibria of mantle and crust. He thus brings a wealth of theoretical, experimental and analytical experience to the project, which will compliment the expertise that he aims to acquire in ion microprobe techniques. Both the ANU and the University of Frankfurt would benefit from the applicant’s research experience, which will be applied to a novel research direction. In return the applicant would greatly benefit from gaining ion probe analysis skills and deepening his knowledge about experiment petrology and ore geology at two of the world’s leading institutions in these fields.

Projet ElectroPros (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Doctoral Networks - Industrial Doctorates
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The ElectroPros action aims to optimally prepare young researchers for the evolving technology in the healthcare space, especially related to minimal invasive oncology therapies, by offering a unique set of targeted interdisciplinary training and research assignments in the areas of biophysics modelling and simulation, device physics, optimization algorithms, software integration and experimental validation. Four European Industrial Doctorate positions are offered to Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) for a period of three years. In the training program a combination of industrial, academic and clinical research environments are provided by Philips, the University Clinic Aachen and RWTH Aachen, to explore the field of electroporation, as a new and promising technique for minimal invasive oncology treatment. Based on sound career development plans, and coached by experienced supervisors, the four ESRs involved will develop a competence profile which will springboard their future career in the wide European medical community in the industrial, clinical and academic domain. These researchers have the potential to become pioneers for new minimally-invasive therapies for the oncology domain. During their training, the ESRs will work on electroporation based treatment of cancer. The ESRs address shortcomings of the currently available equipment to enable for the first time ever a reliable patient-specific electroporation based treatment for cancer. With a focus on liver cancer, the ESRs will collectively establish novel insights on the biophysical effects on various tissues, important to understand the treatment effect, and integrate this knowledge in optimal device (needle) design and multi-physics models for treatment outcome prediction and inverse planning algorithms. Furthermore, the developed assets will be integrated in clinical prototype software to support and optimize the clinical workflow.
