Projet REWIND (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Cultural heritage is a sociocultural discursive construction, embedded in power relationships, which tends towards the selective preservation of historical memory and the support of a particular reading of History. However, History is multivocal and to achieve egalitarian societies where identity diversity is respected, it is necessary to deconstruct the hegemonic historical discourse including different narratives from the perspective of otherness. REWIND proposes to study how historical discourses around European Cultural Heritage (ECH) have been constructed using travel literature written by Latin American women authors from the early 20th century. As such, non-European women, committed to feminist movements and who claimed miscegenation, become historical agents and cultural mediators that counteract a Eurocentric and patriarchal historical discourse. Thus, it is not about adding women’s testimony, but about rereading historical narratives about heritage in order to protect and transfer a cultural legacy that reflects the memories and subjectivities of a diverse society. REWIND is based on Foucault’s theories of “discursive formations”, since it analyses the elements of the ECH that authors highlight in their travels and descriptions from both the physical and the emotional point of view. Firstly, using Digital Humanities approaches based on Geographic Information Systems, the project will identify and locate ECH items. Secondly, REWIND will apply sentiment analysis techniques to recognise the impressions that ECH provokes in women travellers. And, finally, the information offered by travel guides and official documentation of cultural institutions will be contrasted with the data of travel literature applying semantic technologies and the decolonial gender theory. So, through this innovative methodology, REWIND will give voice to a silenced testimony, recovering part of the collective memory and offering new ways of interacting with the past in the present.

Projet MESTUM (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : CLOSED

Fossil-free and renewable energy sources are a must for a sustainable society. Pushing the limitation of supercapacitors (SC) beyond their limits by producing metal carbides using as carbon source spent surgical masks, an immense side-product burden of COVID-19 pandemic, MESTUM project aims to tackle the worldwide increasing energy demand with highly efficient, stable, environmentally friendly and low-cost electrode materials (EM). The development of EM by transition metal carbides has attracted significant research attention thanks to its high-temperature stability, conductivity, easy operation in aqueous/organic electrolytes and insignificant electrolyte leaching. Easily accessible and abundant, manganese metal carbides, with multiple electron transfer ability, represent an excellent source possessing the key performance markers for SC: Ground-breaking pseudocapacitance and cyclic stability. By exploring the challenge of also generating a porous structure, MESTUM aims to expand an electrochemically active specific surface area and porosity of transition metal carbide and thus deliver a significant growth of specific capacity performance. During synthesis, the ground-breaking approach of turning the porous carbon from the surgical mask into the transition metal structure will orchestrate a brilliant coupling of increasing the surface area and reducing surgical mask waste. For machine learning prediction of specific capacity and cyclic stability, the two most critical performance-related features of SC, the materials properties (morphology, composition, surface area, etc.) and operational conditions (electrolytes, current density, potential window, etc.), are crucial. To tackle this issue, the project will set the optimized parameters to easily evaluate the prospects of developed materials in SC application. By a pioneering effort toward the significant advancement of SC technologies, the MESTUM project will address a fundamental need for clean energy sources.

Projet GROW (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Cofund Doctoral programme
Statut du projet : SIGNED

GROW – Graduate Research On Worldwide challenges – is an international PhD programme that offers tomorrow’s leaders a unique opportunity to do high quality and novel research with supervision from globally renowned professors on pressing issues affecting the people of Africa, and make a real contribution to understanding and addressing worldwide problems. Research and innovation that is interdisciplinary, international and intersectoral (Triple-I) stands a better chance of understanding wicked challenges and producing creative and effective solutions. Thus, they can play a vital role in meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Currently the African continent has few R&D staff compared to other regions. With GROW we invest in training scholars with an understanding of the continent, while strengthening existing Africa – Netherlands partnerships. Because academic and non-academic stakeholders are involved from the start – collective learning and co-creation makes for deeper understanding of the challenges and their trade-offs, more detailed specs, earlier prototype testing, more opportunities for validation and transforming academic research results into real-world developments. As the science is complex and original, it can also be captured in high quality scientific papers. For GROW, 6 high ranking Dutch universities have joined up with 22 African academic and 16 non-academic partners so that 51 PhD students from anywhere in the world can pursue scientifically challenging research that in some way links LMICs in Africa with Europe. The possibilities are manifold, as fellowships are available in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences & Humanities, and Engineering. The Triple-I design of the GROW programme offers the PhD students the chance to equip themselves with an advanced, future-proof set of scientific and complementary skills that they will take with them as they pursue high-flying careers in a world that is becoming ever more complex and interconnected.

Projet MISCEA (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Cofund Doctoral programme
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Humanity is facing critical challenges due to climate change and the absolute need for rapid ecological and energy transitions is not disputed. To address these challenges, new knowledge to produce cleaner energy, build and adapt our environment in a sustainable manner and evaluate the consequences of extreme meteorological events on populations and constructions is needed. The societal impact of these transitions cannot be overlooked or studied separately from these technological issues.  The objectives of the MISCEA programme are twofold. First, to contribute to these transitions through research and innovation in multiple fields and using interdisciplinary approaches. Second, to train future scientific leaders and decision-makers in an interdisciplinary manner to achieve excellence in the implementation of these ecological and energy transitions. To achieve these goals, the programme will build on the excellence of the research conducted in the 12 laboratories overseen by the Beneficiary, Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. The Institution will also rely on its strong interactions with the private sector to provide the 18 PhD fellows with a fruitful environment to develop their employability skills. A solid participation of industrial partners, as Associated partners, in this research training program as well as the related activities are at the heart of the development of MISCEA Programme and is intended to intensify during the project.  The implementation of the programme will be based on the best practices in terms of open and fair recruitment, with a strong focus on diversity and excellence in the recruited cohorts. The programme will also strive to foster group cohesion among the MISCEA PhD fellows. The membership of Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées of the European University Alliance EELISA will be an asset for the implementation of the programme, in terms of information dissemination, recruitment and secondment opportunities.

The Young International Academics postdoctoral programme (YIA) is a career development program proposed by the University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu) to nurture early-career postdoctoral applicants to gain momentum in interdisciplinary/intersectoral research. YIA applicants are international talents willing to propose and realize their own interdisciplinary research projects through a bottoms-up approach. YIA will welcome, in two calls, a total of 10 postdoctoral fellows with 36-month contracts over 5 years. YIA is open to all disciplines and sectors, involving Uni.lu in the drive towards an increased interdisciplinarity and intersectorality, which are strategic for Uni.lu, for the country and for Europe. A unique aspect of YIA is its integration into Uni.lu’s Institute for Advanced Studies-Luxembourg (IAS) created in 2019 to promote interdisciplinarity and outreach towards the society. This integration provides the YIA fellows with (1) a supervision for interdisciplinary and intersectoral research with more than 350 potential (co)-supervisors, and with about 350 potential public-private partners, (2) peer and cross-generational interactions/mentoring through the IAS fellows, invited distinguished senior scientists, early career researchers, and a mandatory academic or industrial secondment, and (3) a truly international flavour in an environment that cherishes diversity and excellence. YIA fellows recruited at Uni.lu are offered competitive contracts with mobility fellowships and access to excellent research infrastructures. A professor of Uni.lu provides supervision for the primary discipline of the applicant’s project and a co-supervisor covers the complementary discipline/sector. The YIA fellows are offered an “à la carte” training including mandatory courses, to suits the fellow’s career aspirations, increase the fellow’s interdisciplinarity and employability. The YIA programme will support a rapid ramp into a long-term Uni.lu funding of postdoctoral IAS fellows.
