Projet REALISE (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Environment and Geosciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

REALISE equips a new generation of Doctoral Candidates (DC) with cutting-edge skills in volcanic hazard assessment and the exploitation of critical raw materials by combining advanced petrological studies with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and workflows. To achieve this goal, REALISE brings together experts in Earth Sciences and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an unprecedented attempt to develop training-to-research paths, i.e., Individual Research Projects (IRP), focusing on four key research objectives: 1) Systematically investigating the use of ML techniques to probe the lifecycle of magmas; 2) Fusing complementary information derived from cutting-edge analytical techniques to gather unprecedented petrologic data; 3) Bridging the gap between physics and ML in petrologic modelling to develop ground-breaking computational flow dynamics and atomistic simulations; 4) Exploring the potential of Generative AI, Hypothesis formulation, and Symbolic Regression in petrological studies. By combining the research activities with comprehensive training on transferable skills, DCs engage with key study cases in either volcanic areas posing significant volcanic risk [e.g., Campi Flegrei and Etna (Italy), Pico (Azores), Fogo (Cape Verde), Mt Pelée (Martinique)] or great potential in critical raw material exploitation [i.e., Beauvoir rare metal granite (Imerys kaolinite and Li deposit; France), mono-mineralic ore layers at Bushveld Igneous Complex (South Africa) and Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum pegmatites at Manono-Kitotolo (Dem. Rep. of Congo)]. Upon completion, REALISE will largely persist by establishing a network that fosters collaborations between academia and industry, enhancing disaster awareness, and contributing to the exploitation of critical raw materials. Overall, REALISE represents a significant step forward in both understanding magmatic systems and managing their associated risks and resources, with far-reaching implications for society and the scientific community.
