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

The project proposes an innovative systems approach to address existing food supply chain waste and shortcomings in food safety, integrity and traceability. FreshProof is a forecast decision support system to deliver accurate, real-time and on demand food product shelf-life prediction along the farm-consumer supply axis. It will exploit a novel monitoring system of multi-sensor units designed to monitor an array of critical environmental conditions when positioned in the field (pre-harvest) and during processing and distribution (postharvest). Each unit will be networked to a cloud based platform receiving an essential flow of real-time data. Advanced chemometrics and data fusion algorithms will be employed to mine and merge this data with data on products multiple quality attributes, nutritional value and safety, (obtained during laboratory simulation). This state-of-the-art system will for the first time employ a holistic approach combining both pre- and postharvest conditions in a single decision support tool and the first to implement prediction models to determine the remaining shelf-life and nutritional value of a product to consumer level. FreshProof is built on the applicant’s existing technical and research competencies in bioprocess engineering, food chemical analysis and chemometrics, enabling her to transfer, develop and apply these skills to food quality, safety, integrity and traceability systems. The applicant will reinforce the international aspect of her career development through training at the University of South Florida (USF) from Prof. Nunes and her research team - pioneers in the application of multi-sensor platforms across supply chains. During the return stage at University College Dublin (UCD) under the guidance of Prof. O’Donnell the researcher will transfer the knowledge gained to the EU whilst validating and promoting FreshProof across EU stakeholders.

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

The project undertakes the first systematic investigation of the vernacular literary texts used for the intellectual education of secular people in north-western Tuscany between the half of the 13th and the first twenty years of the 14th century in order to clarify the cultural context of Dante’s formation in Florence, on which almost nothing is known yet. While the lyrical poetry in late-medieval vernacular has been much studied, the doctrinal literature (both in poetry and prose) flourished in Italy in the same years is often unpublished and almost never made the object of critical studies, nor its function was connected to the formation of secular intellectuals such as Dante. The project aims to define as accurately as possible the vernacular, namely, the non-Latin, cultural context and texts circulation in Florence and north-western Tuscany during the span of about seventy years, between the death of the empereor Frederick II (1250), which ideally marks the end of the Sicilian Poetic School and the displacement of the fulcrum of the Italian vernacular literature in the “municipal” Tuscany, and the death of Dante Alighieri (1321). The chronological limits depend on the crucial role of the Florentine poet, who within this historical context had reached the highest cultural dignity of the vernacular as the literary language of the legal-notary ruling class before Petrarch and Humanism marked a radical return to the Latin, indeed parallel to the decline of the figure of the “municipal intellectual” (Dante himself and other distinguished members of this specific secular and bourgeois environment as the mercant Chiaro Davanzati, the banker Monte Andrea, the judge Bono Giamboni, the notary Brunetto Latini, and the public officials Guido Cavalcanti and Dino Compagni).

Projet upgradeFDM (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project will illuminate implications for cosmic structure formation of the hypothesis that dark matter consists of ultra-light scalar particles, generically labeled as Axion-like particles (ALPs). Described as a continuous field, dark matter in this picture can be described as a self-gravitating superfluid on cosmological scales with distinct phenomenology from standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) due to its coherent nature. The research will extend this new model of Dark Matter to include non-gravitational self-interactions and the effects of a non-condensed corpuscular component and examine their effects on the formation of gravitationally bound cosmological structures as well as the creation of quantum vorticity through numerical simulations. The project will, therefore, merge concepts from Cosmology and Cold Atom Physics to explore a most topical question in modern science. The experienced researcher, Dr I-Kang Liu will move from Taiwan to the UK to join the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at the University of Newcastle as a member of a team of cosmologists with strong links to a team of cold atom physicists. A cold atom physicist by training, with an extended network of European and international collaborators in his research field, he will extend his knowledge to a new field, cosmological structure formation, while bringing in his considerable numerical skills to the existing groups to perform the demanding simulations required to fully understand the process of structure formation in this cosmological model.

Projet SEU-FER (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project will provide a renewed perspective on Southern Europe fertility decline in the second part of the twentieth Century until today. The forces that have driven this epochal change have been broadly identified, with an established correlation between fertility decline and modernization as characterised by industrialization, urbanization, increasing education. However, at the individual level, the mechanisms that have been driving this general process of change are still blurred. In particular, the specific factors that induced women, within few generations, to give birth to fewer children at later ages are insufficiently explored. Recently reproductive behaviour has changed: increase in out-of-wedlock births, large increase in the proportion of childless women and instability of marriages. The project will take into account these profound changes, yielding results able to highlight the key components of this new scenario, stressing the differences with the recent past. European data will be used in order to allow consistent comparisons between Spain and Italy, the first countries to achieve lowest-low fertility levels. The influences on fertility decline at different levels from macro-regional, through community characteristics to individual attributes will be investigated and efficaciously disentangled through careful harmonisation and the use of appropriate statistical methodologies. The project will use macro contextual data (the socio-economic, political, environmental and territorial contexts, but also community access to services and modernization) linked to the micro level individual data (education, SES, family composition, parents' fertility). The project, based on the excellent dataset collected, will provide answers and explanations for many of the open questions on fertility decline as well as providing the first in-depth investigation of the geographic and socio-economic complexities of fertility decline in Southern Europe as a whole.

Projet Transnat_farright (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project will study networks of youth far-right nationalist organizations in East Central Europe, paying particular attention to the developments in Austria, Croatia, Hungary, and Poland. Using historical and anthropological methods, the study explores the transnational dimension of nationalist organizations: the networking of ideologies and tactics. It entails a combination of archival research, interviews, and participant observation during nationalist gatherings. In proposing a historical-ethnographic study of youth far-right nationalist groups, the project aims to fill the gap in existing scholarship, resulting from the lack of interdisciplinary dialogue, negligence of a historical dimension, and macro-perspective predominance. Inspired by the transnational history approach, it foregrounds the complex – synchronic and diachronic - interactions between European nationalisms and studies agents of those exchanges, examining nationalist activists’ motivations and experiences. A combination of anthropological in-depth analysis and historical approach offers an original perspective by drawing parallels between nationalist activities against a multinational federative system, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the EU. It provides a critical tool for challenging unidirectional models of modernity and nationalism and for reflecting on the challenges to the European integration. The project will be undertaken at the Institute for East European History, University of Vienna, under the supervision of Prof. Philipp Ther, a leading specialist in the field of transnational history. During the secondment at the Department of Gender Studies, Central European University in Budapest, I will explore the gender dimension of nationalist activism. The fellowship will constitute a fundamental step in my academic career, enabling me to develop a new field of research and expertise and to gain skills necessary to become an independent researcher and to lead my own research group.

Projet PWP (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project ‘Power and Powerlessness’ (PWP) is a theological study of the concept of power. Many scholars have observed that the concept of power remains contested and often neglected. The absence of a theoretical grasp of the concept is even more striking in Christian theology. Churches in the Global North evidence considerable discomfort over the idea of power: to avoid the charge of colonial imposition of their world-view; due to conflicts over authority within the churches; or to dissociate from the dominant political order. In the Global South, however, the vibrant Neo-Pentecostal and Charismatic movements celebrate the immediacy of the ‘power of the Spirit’. What needs to be better understood are the resources contained within the Christian tradition to make sense of competing claims about the nature and significance of power, particularly given that existing literature does not often address these issues in a sustained manner. The fill this gap, the project is organized into four work packages: WP1: Early, Medieval and Early Modern Christian concepts of power; WP2: contemporary theological treatments of power; WP3: Power in contemporary social theory; WP4: the completion of a monograph entitled 'Power and Powerlessness: a theological analysis'. In addition to this major study, the project will produce: five journal articles, four workshops for church leaders, three columns for church newspapers, three academic conference presentations, a project website, and a new collaborative research grant application with the Scientist in Charge. The Experienced Researcher will not only benefit from training in research project management and grant writing, but will also be mentored in Historical, Systematic and Roman Catholic theology, as well as Philosophy of Religion, and will enhance his existing German language skills. The host institution will benefit particularly from the ER’s highlighting of issues of power as he contributes to its existing research projects.

Projet CRO-EU-REKA (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : European Researchers' Night
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project “CRO-EU-REKA!” will carry out preparations, promotion, organization and impact assessment of the European Researchers' Night events to be organized in Zagreb and Split, the two largest cities in the Republic of Croatia, on 26th September 2014 and 25th September 2015. The main theme of the European Researchers' Nights in 2014 and 2015 in Croatia is "Innovation in Research, Innovation for People". The focus of the events is to highlight to young people, pupils and students the importance of innovation and creativity processes in research for the benefit of the society. The coordinator of the project is Business Innovation Croatian Agency (BICRO), the key governmental agency for innovation in science and SME sector, focusing on high-technology. BICRO, together with three selected partners: Society znanost.org, University of Split, and Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at University of Zagreb will bring successful researchers with high innovation track records closer to the public at large, especially pupils and students in Croatia. The project intends to stimulate student's understanding and interest towards science and research as an attractive career and in general to enhance public recognition of researchers and their work in Croatia. The format of two events to be organized in two largest cities in Croatia (Zagreb and Split) for two consecutive years allows a unique swap of 10 central Eureka modules between the cities: the Modules organized and presented iin Split in 2014 will be moved to Zagreb in 2015, and Zagreb’s events in 2014 will be presented in Split 2015. Various activities during the Nights will be adapted and suited for a wide audience and will include different competitions, many Modules with science shows, scientist animators, exhibitions, projections, stands and many other surprises.

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

The project “Emotions as Practice in the early modern Jesuit missions in the Asia-Pacific” (EMOPractices) approaches the XVI-XVIII-century Asian enterprises of the Society of Jesus through the lens of emotions. Introducing the concept of the “emotional Other” (the emotional dimension of the construct of the Other), it reveals the previously disregarded role of Jesuit emotional practices and their impact on the creation of stereotypes of peoples of the Asia-Pacific region. EMOPractices thus analyses the emotional typologies used by the Jesuits to classify different Asian people; it identifies the emotional practices the missionaries used to bridge cultural divides and, at the same time, establish the domination of Asian people; and it exposes the mechanisms of the discursive creation of the emotional Other, as part of the changes in early modern European understanding of the world and humankind. In this way, EMOPractices addresses the less visible historical roots of racial and ethnic stereotyping connected to discrimination, working within the H2020 Societal Challenge “Europe in a changing world.” Supported by my experience with the early modern history of the Society of Jesus in Asia and in Europe, and with their manuscript, multi-language, ethnographical literature, EMOPractices operates at the junction of history and anthropology and addresses a gap in the historiography of early modern East-West contacts. Its expected outputs consist of two journal articles, a monograph, and a website. It will also support my career, towards a tenured position at a European university, as the MSCA training will increase both my research and my transferable skills, allowing me to engage with wider areas of research and making my profile more competitive. EMOPractices will also create new networks connecting the host and secondment universities (UNIVE, ACU, Tübingen), facilitating the circulation and growth of knowledge on the history of emotions both within Europe and globally.

Projet BioCat (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2018)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The project „BioCat“ investigates electron uptake mechanisms of electroactive bacteria catalyzing reduction processes on biocathodes at the protein membrane level. Thus, the project will significantly contribute to the basic understanding and optimization of microbial electrosynthesis. The driving force for the increasing interest in microbial electrosynthesis is the intriguing capacity of this technology to produce high value chemicals from carbon dioxide and electricity. This conversion addresses carbon capture and storage issues of renewable power sources and will contribute to a carbon neutral economy and society. The project will be conducted at the Inorganic Biochemistry and NMR group (IBN) of the ITQB NOVA in Lisbon with a secondment at the University of Tübingen at the Laboratory of Prof.Dr. Lars Angenent. BioCat is divided into three main objectives. First of all a basic understanding of the role of c-type cytochromes and the indirect or direct nature of the electron transfer will be investigated with Shewanella oneidensis. Subsequently Sporomusa ovata and its membrane proteins carrying out electron transfer are studied, while the production of acetate from CO2 is monitored. Both will be analyzed as a function of operating parameters (electrode potential and pH). To round up the project, an optimized continuous run prototype reactor will be operated and characterized. The project will enable the researcher Joana Madjarov to get trained in the whole chain of basic to applied research. The main focus lies in the fundamental biochemical research, but the project directly links the findings to application relevant acetate production yields and efficiency.
