Projet MARKS-MEDICI (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Economic Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

"Marks and the Medici: Branding and Trademarks in Renaissance Global Business" (MARKS-MEDICI) will explore the role played by branding and trademarks in global business during the Renaissance. The international wool trade in the Renaissance provides an almost unique lens through which to view the creation of the earliest global brands because the provenance and quality of the wool itself, and thus the reputation of its purveyors, were the most crucial factors in the profitability of manufacturing and exporting firms. Florentine merchants played an important role in the global wool trade and in global brand creation from the very beginning. MARKS-MEDICI will study the sixteenth-century woolen cloth trade of Medici family firms with the Near East, where the exploding Turkish demand for luxury cloth and good Turkish-Florentine relations opened up important new markets; it will place this trade in the context of changing English-Florentine commercial relations, since England was the most important supplier of raw wool for luxury production until the late sixteenth century; and, most importantly, it will focus in a ground-breaking way on the role played by trademarks in marketing and exporting luxury goods long before the existence of international intellectual property and trademark protection conventions. Medici entrepreneurs, members of the influential Florentine Wool Guild (Arte della Lana), extensively used trade marks (called segni, “signs”) to identify, protect, and market their firms and their products in a highly-competitive marketplace. A two-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship will uniquely allow the ER to analyse an important and largely unknown collection of Medici account books and, crucially, to contextualize the Medici business in the broader history of the wool trade in England and the Low Countries and in terms of the Turkish demand for luxury cloth.

Projet DryMIN (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

"Mineral weathering in the unsaturated zone from the molecular to macro scale (DryMIN)” Earth’s shallow subsurface, or “critical zone,” is of fundamental importance for supporting terrestrial life and maintaining water quality. Perhaps the most vital part of the critical zone is the unsaturated region located nearest to the surface. It is in the unsaturated zone where most plants acquire their nutrients, and where most organic carbon degrades. This zone is also most likely to be affected by future global change due to altered rainfall patterns and evapotranspiration rates across the globe. In order to predict how long-term variations in the water budget will impact nutrient and carbon cycling it is necessary to evaluate the influence of water saturation on mineral weathering reactions. The objective of the proposed research is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing reaction rates as a function of water availability from the molecular to macro scale. This will be achieved through a combination of three scale-spanning experimental studies: 1) humidity buffer experiments investigating molecular-scale changes to mineral surfaces, 2) pore-scale microfluidic experiments, and 3) macro-scale flow-through column experiments. Experimental results will lead to the development of a mechanistic reactive transport model that can better predict reaction rates as a function of water saturation. This research has significant implications for the maintenance of a sustainable nutrient supply for natural and agricultural vegetation, the carbon cycle, and remediation of groundwater resources, issues critical to the long-term sustainable growth of our society. Through this research programme I will: 1) have opportunities for mobility between multiple institutions in Europe, 2) gain tangible skills in analytical techniques, 3) improve transferable communication and management skills, and 4) establish a lasting multi-disciplinary, collaborative European research network.

Projet R4H2021 (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

"Researchers for Humanity 2021" will continue the work of the series of European Researchers' Night events organized in Romania since 2007. Pursuing the previous editions goals, this event will focus on creating a strong bond between the public and researchers, by carrying on with presenting the audience the importance of science and research work for humanity's daily life and by making the researchers more approachable for the public in general. Year after year, we keep up with promoting the European dimension of the event and it is only natural to emphasis on the public's awareness, which will flag European Researchers' Night 2021 as one of the most important and awaited events, in terms of science, research and education, as it happened in the past years. This year, during 1 day (or 2 days in some places), the public will have the opportunity to better understand science projects and researchers ideas and motivation by taking part in interactive hands-on sessions, learning by doing, education through play, as well as being encouraged to have interesting talks with the researchers themselves. The event will maintain its traditional logo as a clear connection with the European and national dimension of the event. Also, through the platform, we will invite associated events to get enrolled and be supported by us through promotion at the national level. Due to the long lasting relationships, the partnerships will be continued with the main actors from mass-media and most of the important players in private research, universities and non-formal education institutions.

Projet SN1604 (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : SIGNED

"The Ophiucus Supernova: Post-Aristotelian Stargazing in the European Context (1604-1654)" is a research project proposed for a Marie Curie Fellowship by Dr. Matteo Cosci, post-doctoral researcher at the University Ca' Foscari Venice. This research will examine how the unexpected explosion of a supernova in European skies in 1604 (SN 1604 or "Kepler's supernova" as it was called) fundamentally affected the development of Renaissance scientific thought from a historical, philosophical and cultural point of view. In fact, for the five decades after its outburst the interpretation of the new star or stella nova was one of the main speculative battlefields where opposing conceptions of the universe collided. The study will be grounded in an extensive set of primary sources and documents assembled by Dr.Cosci and analysed in their entirety for the first time. The first outgoing phase of research will be conducted at the Department of History of Science at University of Oklahoma under the supervision of Prof. Peter Barker, also consulting Dr. Patrick Boner of the Catholic University, Washington D.C . The return phase will take place at the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage at Ca' Foscari under the supervision of Prof. Marco Sgarbi. Moreover, the research will provide data to, and will be assisted by, the Terra-Astronomy research group, based at the University of Jena, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Ralph Neuhäuser, for assessing the historical supernova's typology and rare features. Results will be presented mainly through a dedicated internet site, a series of peer-reviewed articles in academic journals, and finally a book. The project provides the opportunity to give the proponent additional training for his academic career, to establish collaborations between many research groups working on similar themes in North America and in Europe, and finally to recover and reconsider a neglected chapter of Europen cultural history.

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

"We are running out of time..." SuperScienceMe thought. "The earth cries out for help...we can't just stand there, we must do something and we must do it now...all together.." SuperScienceMe – REsearch is your RE-Generation fully embraces the European Green Deal, to reverse the course and to turn climate and environmental challenges into opportunities. In this historical moment, in which all certainties are falling apart dramatically, SuperScienceMe appeals to all generations and, like a modern Noah, units them around an ideal, calls them to build a symbolic ark, in order to convey the message that “Research can help regenerate the planet and save lives” Due to the recent events, the pandemic, the dramatic climate changes, the severe threats to democracy, our world is telling us something. In these difficult times, it is easy for people to feel disoriented and lose faith in science; the deniers, the conspiracy theorists, the insurrectionists, all of them are the result of this slow but continuous and inexorable drift. Once again, SuperScienceMe leverages the power of research and the enthusiasm of researchers, to enter the hearts and heads of people to slow down this wave until it reverses its path, before it's too late. To achieve this goal, building on the success of the past editions of the project, researchers from universities and institutions of two regions of southern Italy, Calabria and Basilicata, will open the doors of their laboratories; they will bring research to the non-specialized audience and will talk to people of any age, in order to show them the extraordinary normality of their superhero lives. Furthermore, in line with MSCA-NIGHT scope, the project, bringing researchers closer to the general public, will encourage the youth to embark on scientific careers also helping the planet. SuperScienceMe must open people's eyes and minds, to make them believe in science again, to defeat the darkness and restore the earth to its original color..the Green

Projet GOOD OR BAD BUGS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

"What better microbial challenge to unite agricultural and medical microbiologists than a microoorganism that reduces an onion to a macerated pulp, protects crops from diseases, devastates the health and social life of cystic fibrosis patients, and not only is resistant to the most famous antibiotic, penicillin, but can use it as a nutrient!". The genus Burkholderia accommodates around 120 species that colonize a wide range of ecological niches and interact with hosts in different ways such as mutualism, commensalism or pathogenicity. Opportunistic pathogens like B. cenocepacia cause severe infections in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients, and mutualists such as B. phytofirmans are beneficial to plants. Although very promising for agriculture, the use of the latter is severely restrained due to the potential threat that a few opportunistic pathogenic strains pose to human health. In the last years, a lot of effort has been invested into discriminating between the beneficial and the pathogenic strains. However, these studies have been unsuccessful so far and novel approaches are needed to better understand the potential risks/benefits associated to Burkholderia species before these can keep being used in agriculture. Friends or foes? The GOOD OR BAD BUGS project aims to unravel the dissimilarities between the beneficial (the good) and the pathogenic (the bad) Burkholderia species. We hypothesize that differences in the genomes of the Burkholderia species allow them to colonize and interact with their host differently, leading to mutualism, commensalism or pathogenicity. In this project we will employ a cutting-edge high-throughput genetic screening method known as transposon-sequencing to study host colonization by members of the genus Burkholderia. This promising methodology will help to identify genes that provide a fitness in a particular environment. The outcome of the project will be of interest both at the agriculture and the medicine levels.

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

'Science & Nature’ motto, under the International Year of Plant Health and related to the fact that Lisbon is the European Green Capital for 2020, aims to involve the public with research activities and scientific knowledge that are underway to help answering societal concerns about how to face global changes by preserving natural and cultural heritage, ecosystems and resources and to improve quality of life for the next decades. By adopting this vision for the European Researchers' Night, this proposal intends to respond to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and societal goals of the EU framework program. It aims therefore to raise public awareness on the relevance of science to assure quality of life in the future, in the attempt to reach sustainability by preserving natural heritage and to bridge the gap between scientists and society, giving researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of society and how they see and understand their work, while engaging young people with science. The consortium of this project, coordinated by the University of Lisbon through the National Museum of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC-ULisboa), combines efforts between researchers of major universities in Portugal – University of Minho, University of Lisbon, Nova University in Lisbon, University of Évora and the Lisbon University Institute. The Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies in Estoril will contribute to the natural heritage preservation approach while disseminating sustainable tourism and food security practices and the Lisbon municipality will be a central partner for the engagement of diverse audiences and civil society stakeholders while promoting the European Green Capital activities. The project will cover urban areas in Portugal from north to south, bridging the gap between researchers and society and contributing to bring societal actors together for the research and innovation process.

Projet SmartCubes (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

'SmartCubes' are an innovative class of nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of protein therapeutics. The objective is to deliver high levels of membrane proteins to cancer cells to combat disease. I will achieve this by creating novel 'sponge-like' targeted nanoparticles (SmartCubes) to selectively deliver unprecedented levels of a cancer therapeutic protein to colon adenocarcinoma cells. ‘SmartCubes’ are based on a cubic membrane structure. They contain a highly stable lipid bilayer displaying a 'honeycomb-like' construction. This structure has prevented previous applications as the water channels were too small for large proteins to enter and reconstitute into the membrane. I am uniquely able to tune the sizes of the water channels within the 'SmartCubes' to create water networks sufficiently large to house a whole new class of proteins. I will achieve this new class of nanoparticles by creating 'SmartCubes', modifying the outer surface of the 'SmartCubes' with a selective antibody, loading the cubic membrane with a cancer therapeutic protein and delivering them to cancer cells. Protein therapeutics are an exciting alternative to conventional cancer treatments due to reduced side effects and their high target selectivity. I can surpass previous attempts which were limited by rapid protein degradation and the instability of the delivery vehicle. As protein therapeutics increase in complexity, there is a need for stable, high surface area, membrane based delivery systems. This project, hosted in the 2014 European life sciences group of the year, will transform my fundamental research into a platform technology that will revolutionise the field of protein therapeutics.
