Projet FCFP (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) is an internationally renowned university-based institute for advanced studies that offers time-limited fellowship stays for excellent junior and senior researchers from around the world. The Institute is part of the University of Freiburg, one of the leading research universities in Europe. FRIAS is applying for a FRIAS COFUND Fellowship Programme (FCFP, phase 2) which will target experienced researchers at both the junior and senior level and offer them fellowship stays of up to one year to work on their own research project. Over the course of the FCFP (2017-24), 6 yearly calls for the academic years 2018/19 to 2023/24 will be issued, and a total of 804 fellowship months will be awarded, evenly split between Junior and Senior Fellowships. The proposed programme is an optimised continuation of the Institute’s current very successful COFUND project (FCFP, phase 1). If continued, the FCFP will form a central element of the Institute’s activities. The FCFP is open to researchers from all disciplines and nationalities. It features a transparent, merit-based selection process and offers internationally competitive employment conditions. Improvements of the FCFP (phase 2) with respect to phase 1 concern: the selection procedure, employment conditions, intersectoral networking and mobility, outreach activities, career development and alumni activities. The outstanding feature of FRIAS is its internationally diverse community of Junior and Senior Fellows from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Fellows pursue their project within the stimulating atmosphere of permanent academic exchange. Junior Fellows in particular profit from the dedicated support arrangements. The FCFP, phase 2, will continue to attract outstanding researchers from all over the world, thereby making significant contributions to world-class research, to individual researchers’ careers and thus to the European Research Area in general.

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

The GALATEO (Good Attitudes for Life in Assyrian Times: Etiquette and Observance of Norms in Male and Female Groups) project aims to understand anew the importance of etiquette in late Assyrian society (10th–7th century BCE) and to investigate through a multidisciplinary approach the extent to which etiquette influenced the subsequent cultures of the Middle East. As a showcase of the project, the creation of an open source Atlas will be delivered, which is conceived as an open repository, in which the addition of new references to delineate the manners of a given culture can contribute to the understanding of etiquette, from the ancient to the modern Middle East. GALATEO develops and works through an adaptable sociological and anthropological theoretical model for the study of etiquette in the ancient Middle East. To this end, the sociological perspective will explore the way that correct behaviour in Assyrian society was codified and imposed during meetings, both religious and lay, in variously political, economic, and convivial settings. In this way it will be investigated how etiquette becomes a means for both men and women to display their social status and gender balance. The anthropological perspective will examine the etiquette of hygiene, especially concerning the practices of proper handwashing, body washing, facial cleanliness, and bodily purification from a religious point of view, the intention of which was to avoid the transmission of disease, such as sex and bodily pollutions, as well as the admission of evil spirits. This analysis will show how the extent to which hygiene plays a role in assigning order and integrity to a culture or group. Being adaptable, this model will pave the way for emerging new perspectives on understanding the social history of a number of cultures of the ancient Middle East in light of etiquette, to better understand contemporaneous ones.

Projet Global India (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The GLOBAL INDIA ETN will deliver a world-class multi-sectoral doctoral training programme focused on India’s emergence as a global and regional power, and its relationship with the EU. International research on India’s global role has not kept pace with the changes to India’s status as a growing economy and significant international actor. This is reflected in the lack of PhD level training programmes in Europe that have a focus on India. Europe lacks a knowledge base on India, the ETN addresses this by creating a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral network bringing together six leading European universities, with six leading Indian universities, and six non-university partners (one as a beneficiary), all of whom have previously collaborated together. India's actions as a global actor impact on the interests of the EU, and India as a democratic state could potentially be an ally for the EU on international issues that will affect the welfare and security of Europe. The quality of Indian democracy also shapes India’s actions as an international actor and therefore this programme examines the domestic challenges that are shaping Indian democracy and the key international actions of India that are most relevant to its relationship with Europe. The networks training programme is grounded in the academic excellence of the universities and the complimentarily of the strong, diverse range of non-academic partners – a representative business organisation, a consultancy SME; two think-tanks (in Brussels and New Delhi); a human rights organisation and a global company. The training programme requires that all ESRs will attend 9 network training events, providing workshops on skills (academic and practitioner), with inputs from all partners; complete an internship with a non-academic partner; and conduct extended period of field-work based in an Indian University. Key measurable outputs of the network will be 30 journal articles, 60 policy briefs and an active media presence.

Projet GOLDENSENS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The GOLDENSENS project aims at creating a new class of enantiodiscriminating sensors for methamphetamines based on intrinsically chiral Au38(SR)24 nanoclusters. These materials have unique optical properties which make them capable of conferring chirality to thiols protecting their surface, even when ligands themselves are achiral. The result of this chirality transfer is the formation of an asymmetric environment on the cluster surface which will be used for the enantiodiscrimination of D- and L-methamphetamines which can have distinct biological effects (The D-enantiomer is diffuse as psychotropic drug, whereas the L-enantiomer have been applied in medicine as in nasal decongestant). The first objective of GOLDENSENS will be the preparation of functional Au38 clusters. The protecting thiols of these novel clusters will bear specific chemical groups able to increase the enantioselective interactions with methamphetamines. The second objective will be the investigation of chiral properties of these gold nanoclusters by a combined chiroptical techniques and theoretical calculations. Ultimately, GOLDENSENS will investigate the enantiodiscriminating activity of prepared Au38 clusters towards methamphetamines, leading to the development of novel methods for enantiomeric separation. NMR-based techniques will quantify enantioselective interactions and "absolute configuration modulation infrared spectroscopy" will clarify the mechanism of enantiodiscrimination by gold nanoclusters. Results and knowledge generated with GOLDENSENS will impact the understanding of chirality at the nanoscale, contributing to the growth of an emerging and frontier research field. The training provided by the project will help the experienced researcher to refine scientific and soft skills, ultimately acquiring all the abilities and competences necessary to start an independent academic career in nanotechnology.

Projet HAP4MARBLE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The HAP4MARBLE Project is aimed at developing a new multi-functional treatment for conservation of marble artworks in Cultural Heritage (CH) and validating it in the field. Marble has been widely used in architecture and sculpture since antiquity, but it is subject to several weathering processes, predicted to be worsened by future climate change. Because not fully satisfying treatment currently exists against these weathering processes, the project will be aimed at multi-functionalizing a recently proposed biomimetic treatment based on hydroxyapatite (HAP), to make it able to tackle all the main marble degradation processes (sugaring, soiling, dissolution and bowing). This target requires a multi-disciplinary reserach activity, combining materials science, biomaterials, micro-mechanics, petrophysics and CH conservation. Such an approach will be possible by merging competences and laboratory facilities of the 3 involved Organizations: Princeton University (outgoing phase, supervisor Prof. G.W. Scherer and co-supervisor Prof. W.O. Soboyejo, world-renowned experts in materials science and micro-mechanics, respectively), the University of Göttingen (secondment, supervisor Prof. S. Siegesmund, international expert in marble deterioration) and the University of Bologna (return phase, supervisor Dr. E. Franzoni and co-supervisor Prof. N. Roveri, international experts in materials for CH conservation and HAP for bio-medical applications, respectively). Under the guidance of these experts, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will receive high-level training-through-research and will considerably deepen and diversify his knowledge, by also attending academic and training courses, thus developing a multi-disciplinary expertise. This new expertise and the publication of research results in high-level journals will enable the ER to achieve a fundamental advancement towards the fulfilment of his career development objective, which is to become a tenured researcher in EU academia.

Projet PRe-FActo (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The PRE-Facto fellowship aims to develop a new regenerative approach which potentially will promote the revival of the periodontium, while a successful outcome may lead also to the prevention of the disease when intervened early. Within my research I am going to develop a new biomaterial (calcium phosphates doped with ions of say, cerium and erbium oxides, fluoride and aluminum (3+) ions) with antibacterial properties which will be densified and bonded on the tooth surface after the irradiation with an ultrafast pulsed laser (femtosecond laser). In order to promote the attachment of the fibroblasts, the biomaterial will be mixed with collagen gel (or chitosan) while the effect of the surface topology will be also tested. For my research training as a bioengineer within which I aim to solve periodontitis as a global problem I will deal with the following Research Training Activities (RTAs); i) Synthesis, characterization and delivery of the biomaterial; ii) Sintering of the materials with femtosecond laser - characterization of the sintered area; iii) Cell culture and histological studies for exploring the regenerative potential of the material; iv) Toxicology tests and potential risks investigation. This training is not only beneficial for the fellow’s scientific career development, but also for the host institute (the University of Leeds) and the general public health. The above listed training activities will be supplemented by a number of non-Technical skills for my career development. As a result of this cross-disciplinary project the fellow will be a well-rounded bioengineer researcher who in future will be become qualified for pursuing an academic career at the University of Leeds in the area of advanced drug delivery and photo-dynamic therapy using novel femtosecond lasers. Necessary research training and supervision at the UoL will be provided by the Engineering supervisor Prof. Animesh Jha (AJ) and the clinical supervisor Prof . Monty Duggal.

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

The PRINCESS project aims to study the foreign women of the royal entourage during the Late Bronze Age (LBA) in Egypt (1550-1060 BC) through the analysis of diplomatic marriages. These political unions that the Pharaoh contracted with the sisters and daughters of the rulers of the foreign Great Powers (Hatti, Mittani, Assyria and Babylonia) are well attested in the textual documentation of the Ancient Near East (ANE) and Egypt. The originality of this project is based on the fact that it involves the study of both Egyptian and ANE sources (textual, archaeological and iconographic data) with the help of ANE specialists, which allows an interdisciplinary approach. In addition, it combines the study of the funerary practices of these royal women, as well as of their ladies-in-waiting. All the data will be analysed in the light of gender studies and gender archaeology. The aim of the research is to highlight their role and status as well as their degree of acculturation at the Egyptian court. This project is crucial to understand the complexity of alliances in ancient worlds through the study of foreign women. New archaeological data coming from tombs recently discovered in Luxor will be associated with fieldwork on the site of Gurob (Fayum) led by the Experienced Researcher (ER) connected with the remains of a harem-palace and an important foreign population. This project will enable the ER to set up innovative models of reflection, which results will also be rewarding for both the host institution (Centre National de la Recherche scientifique) and the partner institution (Universität Basel). In return, the ER will benefit from the teaching and advice from leading ANE archaeologists and ceramicists, and gender studies specialists. Within the 24 months of the fellowship, the ER will gain new skills and international network, and the results will be disseminated through various channels and audiences (database, child’s book, monograph, symposium, TV documentary).

Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Paris Agreement goal to limit global average temperature increase to 1.5°C cannot be achieved without atmospheric CO2 removal on the order of tens of gigatonnes per year by 2100; a formidable challenge requiring urgent assessment. Further delayed mitigation will have an increasingly damaging effect on the environment. The challenge is pertinent to the mining industry, which produces 1-5 Gt CO2 per year and is susceptible to financial impacts due to nascent carbon taxes worldwide. Enhanced weathering and carbonation strategies in mine wastes, where the natural process of rock weathering and carbonate precipitation is sped up to uptake CO2, is a potentially significant sequestration method, requiring on-site pilot schemes to fully realise the high CO2 storage potential. This project aims to implement new technologies in mine wastes to reduce CO2 emissions. This will be achieved by developing an innovative method to initiate enhanced weathering and carbonation in mine wastes through novel bioreactor technologies. Despite the beneficial conditions at sites, mining companies are not currently equipped for sequestration schemes, meaning new approaches are required to leverage wastes for CO2 uptake. Currently, the state-of-the-art falls short of rigorous industrial-scale testing, neglecting factors such as the geochemical variability of host rocks across sites and the practicality of initiating schemes on a site-scale. This proposal will go beyond the state-of-the-art by focusing on delivering on-site testing on a range of voluminous and suitable materials with industry partners. This new bioreactor system will work to modify pH and harness heat and CO2 point sources at mine sites to facilitate this mine site process stream shift. This fellowship will be carried out at Geosciences Barcelona (CSIC). The applicant will carry out a secondment at Global Ecology Group and work with both academic (Universities of Southampton and Oxford) and industry partners (Rio Tinto).

Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Paris Region Fellowship Programme (ParisRegionFP) aims to foster excellence in research, by training and developing international mobility and careers of outstanding Experienced Researchers (ER) from a large panel of disciplines and of all nationalities. ERs will design and implement their original research project in a first-class research group of his/her choice belonging to one of the 13 “Domain of Major Interest” labels endorsed by the Paris Region. The DIMs are key research sectors on which the Paris Region focuses policy support and investments to strengthen its international attractiveness and inter-sectoral mobility. ParisRegionFP will launch two calls of 2-year postdoctoral fellowships, 26 applications each, in order to recruit a total of 52 ERs. ParisRegionFP will offer a novel international, inter-disciplinary and inter-sectoral training programme for ERs, covering scientific, academic and industrial topics in the identified key sectors (or DIMs scientific themes) as well as hands-on knowledge in non-research oriented transferable skills. For the first time at regional level, such an educational and research program will be implemented by leading universities and 20 extra-academic partner organizations, covering actors from prestigious culture-related organizations and human resource actors to large industries and SMEs in various economic sectors. The scientific actors will ensure infrastructure capacity and high-level environment to conduct excellent research. Extra-academic partners will contribute to the implementation of ParisRegionFP by hosting ERs during secondments or visits and/or by providing training, mentoring or career development opportunities. ParisRegionFP will reinforce network structuration and complete the existing programmes of the Paris Region and its partners for increased impact, by focusing on the recruitment and the training of international emerging leaders to foster research and innovation in the Paris Region.
