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

The Science Fiction (SF) of a spatio-temporal location is a window into the soul of a people. It manifests the “cultural unease” that specific identities evoke in the national imagination. SF not only demonstrates how contesting ideologies slug it out within the ring of the popular but also interrogates how metaphorical reimaginings of the ‘other’ are projected on and by a people’s collective psyche. This proposed action maps India’s fictional futures and the state of its religious and political minorities through a study of its (SF) monsters. It explores how India’s popular imagination engages with a ‘Maoist’ China, ‘Islamic’ Pakistan, ‘Western’ transnational capitalism/neo-imperialism and Hindu Nationalism in and via its SF. The action argues that alterity in Indian SF – and hence, in India – is primarily contingent upon the discourses of nationhood (vis-à-vis Pakistan/China/U.S./Europe), religion (e.g. Islam, Christianity) and political orientation (e.g. Islamism, Maoism, Capitalism). It also seeks to comprehend how the ‘others’ of Indian SF (aliens, zombies, clones, mutants, robots, AI and monsters) become referents of religion, ethnicity and political orientation. Appropriating core methods of Science Fiction Studies, Science and Technology Studies, Digital Humanities, Game Studies and Transmedial Narratology, this action delves into the mechanics of otherness and its negotiation with contemporary South Asian geopolitics. Through its emphasis on post-2000 narratives selected from across mediums, the action spans across the extrapolations of tomorrow (e.g. future wars, religious dystopias) and the distortions of the present (e.g. zombie apocalypses, robot uprisings). It hunts for India’s such neoMONSTERS: Mutagenic Ontological Narratives in Space-Time Echoing Realistic Situations.

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

The Science in the City Consortium of Malta intends to engage the public within a framework of the Arts and Science, in 2018 and 2019, as successfully conducted since 2012. In 2018, the theme of the Festival will be Science is Culture, to show the public just how much science affects the way we live our lives and how we, in turn, affect the direction of research. The festival will be held in Valletta, European Capital of Culture 2018 and UNESCO world heritage site. The consortium is working to empower children and youths to consider scientific careers by helping researchers engage with Maltese citizens. The festival will show that researchers come from all backgrounds with valid, exciting and rewarding careers. SitC will make science fun and accessible to all. The idea is to use creativity to capture visitors' interest and encourage a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. For ERN, Valletta will come alive with art, music, hands-on experiments, spectacular science shows, theatre and comedy inspired by scientific concepts, technology or the lives and works of inspirational scientists. This attractive platform will present researchers at every activity to discuss scientific research directly to the public. The aim is to raise the number of visitors to 30,000 by 2019, and reach most of the citizens through our awareness campaign.

Projet SolvoLig2Chem (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The SolvoLig2Chem (solvothermolysis of lignin to chemicals) project deals with development of methods for production of green and sustainable aromatic monomers from extracted lignins (e.g. organosolv and formaldehyde treated lignin) by the means of solvothermolysis, a particularly promising thermochemical conversion technique combining relatively mild reaction conditions (170-250 °C, 1-2 MPa) with high yields of various monomers (e.g. catechols, guaiacols, cresols, alkylphenols, methoxybenzenes). These compounds are high-value products in addition to being the only naturally generated replacement for aromatic monomers used extensively in the chemical industry. The overall aim of this project is to design and test selective solvothermal biphasic depolymerization (SBD) routes by the combination of experimental work, development of innovative analytical techniques, and theoretical studies of the reaction mechanisms. The objectives will be achieved by performing cutting-edge research at Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, one of the leading research institutes within natural sciences in Europe. By combining a vivid research environment, extensive collaboration, excellent laboratory facilities, state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, and large scale facilities (e.g. synchrotron radiation at Swiss Light Source, SLS), both the scientific (designing selective depolymerization routes for lignin) as well as the personal (training and development of the researcher leading to a position of scientific maturity) goals of this action will be reached. The potential benefits of the studied conversion technique are nearly unlimited: replacing petroleum as the main source of polymers and materials, promoting sustainable and green development, and mitigating the human impact on the environment and the climate.

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

The Swedish government has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. But while climate models can suggest future environmental conditions, and while sustainability transitions research can suggest pathways of sociotechnical reconfiguration, little research has yet engaged with the social and cultural meanings of lives to be lived in the climate-changed and decarbonised society described in the policy. In addressing this research gap, this action will pioneer a new paradigm in environmental politics, while breaking down the barriers between research and science communications. By drawing on the worldbuilding techniques of science fiction, it will disseminate cutting-edge futures from climate modelling and sustainability transitions research in an accessible, engaging format. By deploying the practices of creative participatory placemaking, it will enrol citizens from locations around southern Sweden into a process of co-designing and narrating visions of life in a decarbonised sociotechnical regime. And by taking up rhetorical strategies from design fiction and transitions design, it will combine the science-based worldbuilding with the citizen narratives of futurity in order to create an artefact from a co-created future: a speculative travel guide to a decarbonised Skåne. With communication at its core, this action will demonstrate a novel methodology for social engagement with climate policy which can be replicated in other contexts, through an innovative and interdisciplinary combination of theories and methods. Impact is promised through its intervention in the theory and practice of environmental politics, and through an ambitious strategy for communicating and publicising the project both within the academy and without. It also provides a comprehensive package of training and development for the fellow, resulting in a position of maturity, independence and visibility in an emerging field of urgent relevance to science and policymaking alike.

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

The TEX-KR project investigates the history of textiles and clothing in terms of practices and production during the destructive rise and ruling of the Khmer Rouge (KR) regime (1975-1979) in Cambodia. Working in the fields of history and anthropology associated to textiles, I will do so by exploring the textile collections of the country’s two leading cultural institutions: The National Museum of Cambodia (NMC) and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (TSGM). When NMC reopened in 1980 in the aftermath of the dictatorship, most of the staff had disappeared, and two-thirds of its ethnographic collection of silk and dance costumes had been lost to looting and environmental damages. TSGM was established as a memorial site and genocide museum on the secret KR prison site S-21 in Phnom Penh and left with thousands of textile and clothing remains that belonged to the prisoners. Looking at what has been lost and reclaimed in these two archives, as well as visible signs of tears and repairs on artefacts and acquisition histories, will help establish these remaining objects as crucial material embodiments and evidence of Cambodia’s dark heritage. Combining object-based study, archival research, and participatory methodologies, TEX-KR uses textile techniques, objects, and dress practices to provide a sensory material turn on Cambodian genocide studies, an overlooked aspect of scholarship to the present day. I will implement innovative outreach activities incorporating practice and oral history to engage different audiences, including weaving groups in Cambodia and immigrant women communities in Europe to explore the topic of textile making, memory, trauma, and displaced identity. Combining politics, heritage, history, this project is an incentive for memorialisation and transitional justice through textiles with the potential to devise a new research model transferable to other cultures of conflict owning textile collections.

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

The TGL project questioning the governance of the energy transition in law. It first raises the question of the actor’s energy transition, thus of an energy democracy: should States be the only ones to participate in this transition? International, EU or French Law, enlightening the necessity of all actors, public and private. Then the case of NGO appears clearly as one of most important, as they can act in compliance with law as responsible partner of states and wide public. The TGL project intends to check and verify whether this involvement is lead and be effective through mechanisms putted in place by states. In such a case, how the practice of NGOs in renewable energies system reflects their role. However, the project will consider the ambivalent role of NGOs especially when it comes to lobbies for sensitive issues. First, the project will identify the functions and the role, then this will be examining.

Projet TRANS-SENIOR (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Doctoral Networks - Joint Doctorates
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

The TRANS-SENIOR EJD-network builds capacity for tackling a major challenge facing European long-term care systems: the need to improve care for an increasing number of care-dependent senior citizens. Its specific focus is on avoiding care transitions (hospitalisations, nursing home admissions etc.) that are not necessary and on optimising care transitions that are really needed. This is important as research and practice show that unnecessary or poorly managed care transitions in senior citizens lead to negative health and well-being consequences and high costs for society. RESEARCH objectives of TRANS-SENIOR are generate evidence on 1) when and where avoiding care transitions is possible, 2) the benefits of innovative transitional care models, and 3) methods for involving senior citizens and informal caregivers, and sustainable implementation of new care models. TRANS-SENIOR PRODUCTS are: tools to support senior citizens and informal care givers in decision making and preparing for transitions; guidance for professionals' triage, citizen empowerment and decision making; protocols for the effective delivery of transitional care models; a toolbox for the implementation of these care models; an assessment tool for evaluating the financing of long-term care; policy briefs to inform future long-term care policy and processes; and a training syllabus to inform future doctoral training in Europe. TRANS-SENIOR will train HEALTH CARE INNOVATORS. Our multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral team will give the ESRs the knowledge, research expertise and transferable skills needed to lead improvements in real-world care settings. TRANS-SENIOR's health care innovators will be able to operate on the cutting edges of practice, science, policy and innovation.

Projet TLRH-VRF COFUND (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2015)
Action : Cofund Postdoctoral programme
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The Trinity Long Room Hub Visiting Research Fellows Programme will offer opportunities to nine Experienced Researchers from across the spectrum of the Arts and Humanities to spend a fellowship of 12 months duration at Trinity Colleges’ Arts and Humanities Research Institute. This fellowship programme represents a significant enhancement of the offering of the existing fellowship programme operating in the TLRH. The objectives of the programme are to attract high quality international researchers from Europe and all over the world via more attractive employment conditions including an employment contract and via wide and rigorous promotion of the calls while open. The programme will provide fellows with training and networking opportunities that will enhance their career development potential ( via their involvement in the activities of an Interdisciplinary College Research Theme affiliated to the Long Room Hub under which they will be recruited and access to a range of non research related training opportunities via different units in TCD); to identify the relevance of their work for other sectors outside academia including the public ( via the inclusion of a secondment element in the programme and via participation in the public engagement activities of the Long Room Hub) and to provide them with interdisciplinary research opportunities( again via involvement in and exposure to staff active in the Interdisciplinary Research Theme under which they have been recruited). The Interdisciplinary Research Themes involve staff across a TCD schools not only thoseaffiliated to the TLRH (i.e. Computer Science and Statistics, Engineering, Nursing, Social Work and Psychology) that will hopefully stand them in good stead as they seek to expand their academic networks. Finally Trinity College and the Long Room Hub will support the selection of researchers following an open, merit-based and impartial and equitable selection procedure, based on international peer review.

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

The WasteLands project explores the aftermath of medieval disasters in Europe from an archaeological perspective. Using a novel theoretical and research framework to tackle topics such as resilience, memory, power, and identity in the aftermath of destructive catastrophes, WasteLands employs a non-invasive landscape approach to address three iconic disasters across Europe: the Mont Granier megalandslide, 1248 (France); the Carinthia and Friuli earthquake, 1348 (Austria, Italy and Slovenia); the St Elizabeth’s megaflood, 1421 (Netherlands). WasteLands aims to expand the theoretical debate about the concept of resilience by developing a systematic study of natural disasters ‘in the landscape’, posing novel questions addressing under-represented topics through original dialogues between archaeology, cultural anthropology, and disaster studies scholars, and contributing effectively to disaster risk communication in contemporary societies. The project will be developed under the supervision of Prof Andrea Augenti (supervisor at the University of Bologna, Italy) and Prof Matthew Johnson (supervisor at Northwestern University, USA). During the outgoing phase at Northwestern University, the candidate will analyse in depth the archaeology of the selected ‘landscapes of disaster’, apply up-to-date archaeological and anthropological theory and engage with a diverse and multidisciplinary team of scholars from the same university. During the return phase, he will be integrated within the research environment of the University of Bologna where the candidate will complete his research activities, disseminate the scientific results of the project, and develop a cultural heritage and community engagement programme focused on disaster risk communication. The latter activity will be strengthened through two project secondments at the Biesbosch Museum, Netherlands and at the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) in Bologna, Italy.
