MS2DCOFO will offer a highly talented and promising young researcher with a PhD in chemistry and an outstanding track record a world-class training through research in the cross-disciplinary, supra-sectoral and burgeoning field of multifunctional 2D semiconducting covalent organic frameworks (COFs). MS2DCOFO’s overall mission is to coach the fellow to become a mature and independent scientist and to prepare him for a leading position in academia or industry in Europe. Organic field-effect transistors are crucial elements for the fabrication of flexible, wearable, and biocompatible electronic devices. As miniaturization is approaching its limits, bringing an end to Moore’s law, beyond-CMOS devices, “More-than-Moore” technologies aimed at functional diversification are emerging as technologically viable strategy to boost the data storage capacity in tomorrow’s digital electronics. 2D COFs, as crystalline porous organic polymers built by covalently connecting organic building units, represent ideal platforms to incorporate simultaneously different switchable units into a given 2D skeleton with a atomically precise and robust structure. Thus, on the long term, multiresponsive semiconducting 2D COFs can become crucial components in neuromorphic devices and synaptic arrays to meet the present and future requirements of higher computational density that cannot be achieved by scaling down CMOS transistors. In this framework, the making of multiresponsive semiconducting 2D COFs represents a grand challenge that can offer a major technological advancement for next-generation electronic devices. Towards this ambitious goal, we will first design and synthesize multiresponsive 2D COFs, whose switchable properties and stabilities will be carefully characterized. The related high-quality 2D COF films fabricated via interfacial, in-situ solvothermal, or exfoliation methods, will be integrated and tested into multifunctional semiconducting devices for complex logic operations.

In early modern period, the long-lived rift between Catholicism and Orthodoxy was overbridged by the Union of Brest (1596): it established the Uniate Church in the region reaching from Lithuania through Poland and Belarus to Ukraine, and it was the basis for the development of local monastic structures, the Basilians. While the research on Uniate and Basilian literacy, significantly underrepresented in an international discourse on post-Tridentine Christianity and its culture, is interested mostly in Basilian book and printing history, BasInCult pursues for the first time a detailed and qualitative analysis of the writings about the saints and candidates to sanctity (hagiography), who had a programmatic and symbolic meaning, in a wide spectrum of literary forms created and circulated in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is argued that the Uniates and Basilians used hagiographic sources not only to adapt Uniate Church to the framework of the Catholic culture, but especially to include their issues in the mainstream of Catholic discourse. Focusing on the instructive examples of saint figures (e.g. Josaphat Kuntsevych), works (e.g. "Menologium bazyliańskie"), and hagiographers who served also as Order’s officials (Ignacy Kulczyński), the project demonstrates the strategies of such a mutual adaption process (regarded as inculturation) which had a vast impact on shaping the confessional and cultural landscape of today’s central-eastern Europe. The project will be affiliated at Vilnius University, in an exceptional environment of the specialists in Uniate history and Basilian monasticism; in addition, it will be carried out close to the text sources held in a great part in Vilnius, one of the main centres of Basilian activities. The results will be published in an article and a short book monograph which will both aim at popularising the project’s topic and themes.

Project PlaneTS is focused on one of the big questions of science: are we alone in the Universe? At this moment, we are urgently in need of improved models of the planet formation process in order to make reliable theoretical predictions. The needed improvement comes from recent studies that argue that the evolution of life on Earth depended on the presence of seasons and ocean tides, which have so far not been taken into account in astronomy. As these phenomena are caused by the tilt of Earth's rotation axis and our Moon, it is time to include planetary spins and satellite systems to the planet formation model. This big step forwards towards realistic models of habitable planets has been a major challenge, but has recently become feasible with the publication of my unique N-body code TIDYMESS, which solves the orbit, spin and tidal evolution of chaotically interacting planets and moons. With a novel approach for combining direct and secular integration methods, I will be able to obtain complete evolutions of ensembles of planet-moon systems and quantify the likelihood for planetary systems to produce a habitable planet with seasons and tides, i.e. Earth-Moon analogues. Three capture mechanisms will be studied in detail: tidal capture, few-body interactions with in-situ formed moons, and dynamical friction with planetesimals. The demographics of the ensemble will provide new insights into the formation of Earth-Moon analogues, while also quantifying their expected cosmic number density. The results will be used to derive a novel statistical method that can be used by the community to include the effects of planetary spins and satellite systems in other large-scale planet formation models. In conclusion, project PlaneTS represents a large step forwards in our understanding of the habitability of worlds by scrutinising the role played by seasons and tides.

The ability to reliably track 3D human motion in real-time is crucial for a wide range of applications across various fields, such as healthcare, entertainment, industry, and sports. Occupational ergonomics, as the intersection of industry and healthcare, could particularly benefit from such a solution, as recent reports indicate that physical and cognitive ergonomics issues at work contribute to major economic losses in Europe. However, the existing commercial human motion capture (MoCap) systems often exploit multiple markers or inertial measurement units (IMUs), which, in addition to their high costs, suffer from many technical and usability issues. These include lengthy set-up times, compromised user comfort and bothersome wearability needs, and in case of IMU based Mo-Cap systems, large drifts and inaccuracies over time. Some of these issues can be dealt with by using vision-based human skeletal trackers, however, high vulnerability to occlusions, and often, the missing or inaccurate 3D tracking capacity have severely depreciated their reliability-of-use for real-world applications. These leave us with no existing market solutions for marker-less (comfortable), robust, economic, and real-time 3D human motion tracking. Real-Move aims to create such a solution by exploiting multi-camera views and AI algorithms. The system will be capable of tracking multiple people in the scene with high accuracy and, in addition to motion tracking data, be able to provide application-driven data services such as human factors. Real-Move has the highest innovation potential to become a key player in the multi-Billion Euros MoCap and workplace safety markets. In addition, by providing quick and easy access to vision-based risk monitoring tools, it can make a huge socio-economic impact by improving the quality of life of the individuals at work while saving a large amount of money by cutting waste.

With the European Green Deal and its goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions in Europe by 2050, the increased use of the subsurface is inevitable. The large-scale exploitation of the subsurface for storage (e.g., gases) and extraction activities (e.g., geothermal energy) will create large scale perturbations which can destabilize the rock and allow leakage of contaminants into groundwater. Therefore, we need a sound understanding of coupled hydro-geochemical processes arising from such activities, as well as tools to predict these impacts reliably. Reactive Transport Modeling (RTM) has so far proven to be the most powerful tool to track the fate of subsurface contaminants from laboratory up to geological timescales. However, the simplistic approaches to describe the gas-water-mineral interactions in RTM do not accurately capture the complex processes in geological environments, as they do not consider relevant processes that take place at the microscopic scale. These processes need to be upscaled (integrated) into RTM. This requires detailed insights into mineral crystallization processes involving gas in confined porous media, particularly (i) coupled mineral dissolution and precipitation with gas generation and (ii) mineral nucleation at the water-gas interface, since both affect the transport properties and mineralogical reactivity of the rock matrix. Genies will integrate cutting-edge lab-on-a-chip, i.e., miniaturized (microfluidic) experiments with advanced, in operando, micro-analytical techniques and an interdisciplinary environment to provide the insights needed for upscaling. This project will provide high-fidelity experimental datasets that will bring new theoretical insights into hydro-geochemical processes involving gases. The resulting extended RTM will allow reliable modeling of the fate of contaminants and consequently reduce uncertainty when assessing the integrity of subsurface storage and extraction systems.

Historically, one of the biggest challenges in synthetic organic chemistry has always been to synthesize fluoroarenes (Ar-F) and fluoroheteroarenes (Het-F) from cheap, readily available starting materials, as fluorination has always concerned synthetic chemists due to either undesirable safety of reagents, low selectivities or poor reactivities. Since fluoroaryl- (Ar-F) and fluoroheteroaryl- (Het-F) are the most common fluorinated motives among pharmaceuticals development of a completely novel synthetic strategy would be of great importance to the research community. De novo construction of fluorobenzene using C1F1 synthons is an unprecedented process. We foresee that little explored monofluorinated ortoformates (RO)3CF (FOFs) could be a synthetic equivalent to access C1F1 synthon for annulation reactions.

Project 4NGELS was initiated to connect the business angel networks from strong innovation ecosystems - Estonia (EstBAN), Finland (FiBAN) – with the business angel networks from the less advanced innovation territories - Poland (Cobin Angels) and Slovenia (BAS) and startups and other wider innovation ecosystem stakeholders from Europe. The project will be tackling the significant internal disparities existing at territorial level, by opening up and sharing the existing successful initiatives of cross-border investment, carried out between EstBAN and FiBAN over the last 9 years. The project is focused on raising the innovation efficiency within the startup ecosystem. Angel investors have an important part to play in the startup ecosystem financing framework, as they represent the most important source of funding for early-stage startups. If a startup doesn´t receive early-stage funding and fails to scale-up, the whole society is at loss. Startups do not just create new innovative services and products but they also create jobs, new infrasctructure and bring a flow of knowledge and expertise into a country. All these benefits have a bigger impact on the economy on a local and national scale. Throughout the project, the partners will be undertaking collective ambitions to understand how to successfully initiate cross-border angel investing in Europe, and implement this to maximise the impact of the benefits and reduce the innovation divide. In addition, the project will involve different stakeholders from all four ecosystems, creating a flow of connections and knowledge. As an outcome, 4NGELS will create a more interconnected, inclusive and efficient ecosystem benefiting the business angels, startups, other ecosystem stakeholders and society at large.
