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

The Amundsen Sea Low (ASL) is an atmospheric low pressure system that sits over the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Variations in the position and strength of the ASL have a strong influence on Antarctic climate change, controlling both Antarctic sea-ice trends and ocean melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. However, the classical view of the ASL as a large, smooth region of low pressure is misleading. The ASL is an average of many short-lived atmospheric cyclones, and the effect of the ASL on local climate is the highly non-linear net effect of these cyclones. ACES will investigate the role of the individual cyclones and their net effect on the changing climate of West Antarctica by achieving three main objectives: (1) Characterise the physics of cyclones by tracking them with machine learning algorithms in atmospheric re-analysis data and sea ice drift satellite observations. Elucidate cyclone-sea ice-ocean interactions using a model of individual cyclones. (2) Use the new understanding to improve a circum-Antarctic ice-ocean model, determining the effect of cyclone dynamics on hindcasts of ice shelf basal melting in West Antarctica. (3) Assess climate model representations of cyclone-sea ice-ocean interactions, enabling them to better represent past and future sea ice extent and future ice shelf basal melt rates. ACES will be the first attempt to comprehensively characterise the role of individual cyclones over sea ice. It will generate a solid physical understanding of cyclone-sea ice-ocean interactions, as well as improve past estimates of ice shelf basal melt rates and provide important feedback on the capability of climate models to represent Antarctic sea ice trends and ice shelf basal melt rates.

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

The B cell receptor immunoglobulin (BcR IG) is important for the ontogeny and evolution of malignancies of mature B cells (B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, B-NHLs), mediating critical interactions with the microenvironment, including recognition of and selection/activation by antigens. Of note, inhibition of BcR IG-mediated signaling has emerged as a highly efficacious treatment mode for these tumors, highlighting their dependence on extrinsic triggering. Nevertheless, open issues abound regarding the precise role of the BcR IG in lymphomagenesis, particularly regarding the range of interactions with antigens and their functional impact on clonal behaviour and patient outcome. IGpath is an original multidisciplinary project combining innovative methodologies with the aim of dissecting BcR IG-related mechanisms and processes implicated in the pathogenesis of mature B-NHLs. The focus will be on splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and monoclonal B lymphocytosis, a pre-malignant condition that is considered as a potential precursor state to CLL. IGpath is grounded on the combination of the applicant’s scientific background and skills with the expertise and infrastructure of the Host, thus guaranteeing the bidirectional transfer of knowledge. Therefore, it is anticipated to lead to novel insight into the fundamental mechanisms of lymphomagenesis, holding the potential to identify novel actionable targets and novel prognostic/predictive biomarkers. Moreover, thanks to a carefully designed research strategy and implementation plan, the applicant will acquire valuable skills in novel techniques, project management, and networking, thus setting the basis for an independent career in science.

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

The BRIGHT project aims at enhancing the visibility and perception of researchers among the general population in the Tuscany Region, simultaneously with all the European Researchers’ Night (ERN) initiatives. BRIGHT acronym means “Brilliant Researchers Impact on Growth Health and Trust in research”, wishing to underline the positive aspect of the research activity in order to convey a positive message to the general public. BRIGHT is planned in for two years - i.e. two events, one in 2016 and another in 2017 - and livens up not only two “nights” with entertaining and exciting events spread across the main Tuscany cities, but it also creates a lot of initiatives aiming at building permanent “Research Urban Trekking” paths leading towards the complete awareness of the researcher’s role in society. “Researchers make your life better!” is the guiding principle stemming from the passion, the enthusiasm and hard intellectual work of researchers’ daily work and how this contributes to the well-being of the general population. BRIGHT focuses on creating awareness on the important role played by researchers in addressing the great challenges ahead, such as health and wellbeing, new technologies, sustainable development, physical and biological challenges, cultural heritage. BRIGHT will be successful if it will be able to convince the population of the IMPACT of the researchers and the research's products for the development of the society, and to make people TRUST the researchers instead of being driven away by hoaxes with no scientific basis.

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

The BRIGHT project aims at enhancing the visibility and the image of researchers among the general population in the Tuscany Region, simultaneously with all the European Researchers’ Night (ERN) initiatives. BRIGHT acronym means “Brilliant Researchers Impact on Growth Health and Trust in research”, it has been used in the previous editions of the ERN and is intended to underline the involvement of researchers in the enhancement of common people’s everyday life and their wellbeing. The project is planned for the years 2018 and 2019 and will last, each year, from Friday afternoon till Saturday at noon of the ERN scheduled date. In these “nights” are planned hundreds of entertaining and exciting activities that will involve the main Tuscan cities. The activities will be focused around the general theme of the pioneering activity of the researcher and will address some crucial issues such as migration (European Paths), food and climate, Cultural Heritage (European Year in 2018), The fascination of scientific discovery (What a Wonderful World), Public Health (Health 4 All) and New Technologies. Besides the organization of the nights’ events, BRIGHT will involve the population, and particularly young students of primary and secondary schools, all along the two years, through some citizen science’s project - that will have their public and crucial moments of presentation during the two ER Nights -, and through pre-events disseminated all along the period. This long period involvement is intended to create a strong tie among researchers (who will also attend a course on science communication), young students and general population in order to make researchers more “familiar” and to let people better understand how researchers work and live, and so why trust them.

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

The BRIGHT-NIGHT project aims to improve the visibility and image of researchers among the common people in the Tuscany Region, simultaneously with all the initiatives of the European Researchers' Night (ERN). The name BRIGHT, coined in 2013 and used in the subsequent ERN editions, was kept for the 2020 project because it is now established and recognizable throughout the entire academic community, the media and the population of Tuscany at large. Nonetheless, after 6 years it was deemed advisable to refresh the brand for the new edition adding “NIGHT” for playing on the concept that it will be a night in which the future will seem brighter thanks to the outcome of research and the passion of researchers. The project is scheduled for the year 2020 and will last from Friday to Saturday on the date scheduled for ERN. In these two days there will be hundreds of fun and exciting activities that will involve the main Tuscan cities, that will follow on from a set of preparatory events. The 20th anniversary of the European Charter of Rights and the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations constitute the framework within which the topics will be developed and declined in the directions of social and environmental sustainability. BRIGHT-NIGHT will involve the population, and in particular young students from primary and secondary schools, through the project of some scientific citizens and through pre-events spread throughout the period. This long-term involvement aims to create a strong link between researchers (who will also participate in a course on scientific communication), young students and the general population in order to make researchers more "familiar" and better understand to people how researchers work and live and why to trust them. The locations of the activities are: university premises, museums, botanical gardens, institutional buildings and especially streets and squares in the city centres.

Projet CAPTURE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The Biological Carbon Pump (BCP) transfers atmospheric CO2, fixed by phytoplankton in the sun-lit upper ocean, as particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean. The BCP plays a key role in Earth’s climate by removing 10 Pg of carbon from surface waters each year, with the Southern Ocean (SO) pump representing 33% of the global BCP. Carbon export from the BCP has long been solely attributed to the gravitational sinking of large particles following the spring phytoplankton bloom. Conspicuous imbalances in ocean carbon budgets have recently challenged this long-lived paradigm. Several lines of observational evidence have demonstrated the importance of additional export pathways that transfer all classes of particles to depth at different times of the year. Physical transport of organic matter by vertical mixing or active transport by zooplankton vertical migration should now be considered as major components of the BCP. CAPTURE (CArbon PaThways in the soUtheRn ocEan) aims at developing a mechanistic and quantitative understanding of these BCP components using year-round and depth-resolved observations from heavily instrumented Biogeochemical Argo floats. We will address the interlinking of these components over complete annual cycles, introducing the novel concept of BCP seasonality. This multidisciplinary approach, combining physical oceanography, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology and biogeochemistry, will fundamentally change our understanding of key climate-related processes and help close ocean carbon budgets. By providing a synoptic vision of the biogeochemical state of the SO and its capacity to store atmospheric CO2, CAPTURE will address a major societal challenge and assist decision-makers. The transfer of knowledge between all partners of this project, from both academic and industrial sectors, will enhance European scientific excellence and career prospects of the applicant.

Projet BRTE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Building Resilience Through Education (BRTE) Consortium brings together partners from academia, the private sector and the NGO sector to find innovative ways to strengthen the resilience of communities affected by recurring disasters. This project has its origins in an ex-post impact evaluation of Concern Worldwide’s twenty-five year engagement in Wolaita, Ethiopia. Conducted by University College Dublin’s Centre for Humanitarian Action in collaboration with Wolaita Sodo University, the evaluation found that, despite significant improvements in communities’ capacities to both absorb the effects of recurring disasters and to adapt their livelihoods based on experience of recent disasters, they remain extremely vulnerable to their natural and environmental context. As a result there is an urgent need for a novel approach that moves beyond supporting the mere absorption of or adaptation to recurring shocks and that transforms the capacity of exposed communities. The BRTE partnership has identified the importance of education in bringing about this transformative change. It aim is to build the capacity of Wolaita’s educational institution in pursuit of the following objectives: • To build the requisite critical infrastructure to enable resilience education and research; • To establish an educational platform that will build human capital and transform livelihoods; • To develop research and innovation capacity that will radically promote social and economic well-being. The BRTE programme will serve as a model of how education can drive transformative resilience in areas subject to recurring and protracted crises.
