This research project endeavours to pioneer a biological solution for mitigating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from effluent gases produced by bioenergy combustion systems. The primary focus is on converting the captured CO2 into carbon-negative energy carriers, specifically emphasizing the photosynthetic conversion of biogenic CO2 into energy-rich biomass. The transformation of this biomass into widely used renewable energy carriers, such as biocrude and biogas, is targeted, with an additional emphasis on enriching these carriers with renewable hydrogen to achieve carbon circularity. The project is structured to address key aspects, including; efficient biogenic CO2 capture from effluent systems, development of resilient microalgae strains to enhance resistance to flue gas toxicity, novel biomass pre-treatment methods for cell disruption and nitrogen removal (concurrent production of biostimulants), and improvements in the efficiency and sustainability of hydrothermal liquefaction (biocrude), anaerobic digestion (biogas) and hydrogenotropic conversion of CO2 to biomethane. The ultimate goal is to validate the viability of the developed direct CO2 fixation methods through integration with effluent systems at a pilot scale, reaching TRL5. This multifaceted approach underscores the project's commitment to advancing sustainable and efficient methods for biogenic CO2 fixation and subsequent conversion into renewable energy carriers. To assess the economic viability, a detailed techno-economic analysis of the proposed carbon capture and use solution will be conducted. Furthermore, sustainability and social impact assessments will be performed, taking into account circular economy principles and addressing social, economic, and environmental aspects in alignment with the priorities outlined in the European Green Deal.

Earthquakes are spectacular natural disasters, as exemplified by the 2004 Sumatra and 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakes. Predicting earthquakes remains one of the biggest societal challenges in natural science. This research project will attempt answering the following question: How predictable are earthquakes? We propose a multidisciplinary approach articulated around three main axes: (i) the deterministic predictability of earthquakes in simple, homogeneous faults, studied by reproducing and understanding earthquake phenomena in the laboratory, (ii) the deterministic predictability of earthquakes in complex, heterogeneous faults, studied by laboratory experiments producing multiple earthquake cycles on faults with controlled heterogeneities and (iii) the statistical predictability of earthquakes, studied by forecasting the spatial distribution of experimental seismicity using machine learning. At the core of this project lies the development of a new dedicated experimental setup to generate multiple earthquake cycles along a fault with prescribed complex geometry and rheology. With this new capability, we will conduct a threefold experimental program to: (i) compute the complete energy budget of laboratory earthquakes, (ii) study the sensitivity of rupture nucleation, propagation and arrest to heterogeneities, and (iii) study the effect of heterogeneities on the relation between fault seismic coupling and seismicity. Our work will provide insights for earthquake hazard mitigation, constrain the physics underlying ubiquitously observed seismological statistical laws (Omori, Gutenberg-Richter) and test seismic slip inversion and dynamic rupture modelling techniques in unprecedented data sets on rock fracture dynamics in experiments that mimic field conditions. The new infrastructure we plan to install will reproduce earthquake rupture processes with a spatio-temporal imaging resolution never achieved before.

Modelling, Mapping, and Monitoring Nature Infrastructure (3M NI) is an evolving land use and management strategy using digital technologies & biodiversity knowledge to achieve sustainable use of resources and promote Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). 3M NI methods, harnessing data from in-situ observations, satellites, Internet of Things (IoT), and technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, can potentially increase the quantity and quality of data products while planning biodiversity and climate actions through NBS. One of the main challenges for NBS in Southeastern Europe is the low adoption rate of 3M NI technologies and practices, especially concerning "big data in natural resources" partly due to the lack of efficient communication skills as well as scientific and technological (S&T) skills for executing multi/cross/interdisciplinary analytics on multi-scale/source environmental data, addressing regional and site level issues, to extract more accurate and impactful actionable information by combining these data with specific user´s needs. SONATA capacity-building strategy builds on the complementary expertise of VITO (Belgium), FIHAC (Spain), NINA (Norway) and UNIOVI (Spain), that will transfer knowledge and skills to BIOS (Serbia) to enhance 1) researchers' S&T capacity for performing multi-scale/source data analyses, 2) researchers and administrative staff’s capability to communicate practical environmental data-related knowledge for NBS planning to stakeholders across the sustainable landscape value chain and to non-scientific local communities and 3) lower the development gap between European regions and create lasting partnerships. IT and Biosystems BIOS centers will be enhanced through SONATA into a NBS Team (NbS-T) concentrating on cross/multi/interdisciplinary innovation-driven R&D within a co-creation environment. Post SONATA BIOS' NBS-T will be nationally competent in the 3M NI and NBS sector and a qualified partner at the European level.

UMBRELLA is a holistic approach to progress, reshape, and benchmark the overall stroke care pathway and set new and improved standards of care in terms of primary and secondary prevention, rapid access to treatments, early accurate diagnosis, stratification, management and real-time monitoring, therapeutic targets identification, and rehabilitation, recurrent stroke and related cardiovascular events. This innovative approach will transform healthcare systems by improving and harmonizing professionals' workflows in a more patient-centred, digitalized, and communicative manner. UMBRELLA aims to revolutionize stroke management by implementing a comprehensive approach that addresses gaps along the whole continuum of the stroke care pathway. The key paradigm in the project is the multicentric, synergistic "umbrella" strategy for local data collection, harmonization, and standardization along the entire pre-, in-, and post-hospitalization pathway. By establishing specific common data models (CMDs) implemented in each of the 7 top-tier European clinical centres, UMBRELLA will create a federated data platform (U-platform) where Real World Data (RWD)-based AI algorithms can be locally created and validated, to advance personalised diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment decisions in the acute and post-acute phases of stroke. The algorithms will be then trained in a decentralized manner through a federated learning infrastructure (FL-platform), which preserve data security and privacy, avoiding data centralization or exchange across centres but fostering collective AI-models training. On the other hand, standardized stroke management protocols and procedures will be created and implemented across the participating centres, including the validated usage of advanced digital technologies as solutions to facilitate data collection, visualization, patient engagement, monitoring, outcomes integration, and decision-making across the whole stroke pathway.

Deprescribing (reducing or stopping unnecessary or harmful medications) is an important strategy to reduce the risk of medication harm – a significant and growing challenge for health systems as acknowledged by the World Health Organization. The aim of HEAD-P is to establish the current evidence base on adverse drug withdrawal events (ADWEs) and explore how this can be enhanced via the pharmacovigilance system. HEAD-P consists of 4 research objectives: to assess the rate of ADWEs in published trials of deprescribing; to examine the incidence of adverse events reporting related to ADWEs; to identify and review all recommendations related to the monitoring, detection, and reporting of ADWEs; and to investigate healthcare professional, patient, and policymaker perspectives on the integration of ADWE reporting in the pharmacovigilance system. The following research approaches will be employed: an umbrella review of systematic reviews, disproportionality analysis of key pharmacovigilance databases, a scoping review of sources of guidance, and qualitative semi-structured interviews. This innovative research will help address the significant gap in our knowledge of ADWE occurrence and will stimulate future studies and innovations. Moreover, this fellowship will provide me with valuable scientific (protocol development, quantitative data analysis relevant to pharmacovigilance data, qualitative research methods, data management, and synthesis skills) and transferrable (grant writing, research communication, and supervision and mentoring skills) skills. It will also provide me with valuable international, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary experience, and allow me to develop leaderships skills. The skills and experience I will gain by completing this Fellowship in the host organisation (RCSI), will help me achieve my ultimate career goal – to become a leader in pharmacovigilance research and development in academia or a medicines regulatory agency.
