Between the years 1050 and 1300 the European landscape turned to stone. It was a structural transformation that led to the birth of a new, long-lasting panorama and helped in the creation of individual, collective and regional identities: a landscape epitomising the way we see the space and territory of Europe. Petrifying Wealth seeks to rewrite the social history of the central Middle Ages, emphasizing the need to reassess from an untried perspective an element that has always been present in our vision of the period—the sudden ubiquity of masonry construction—but which has hardly been given the opportunity to provide in-depth explanations for complex social dynamics. This project seeks to offer novel explanations to previously unasked questions about wealth, building, and collective identity. The speed, extent, and systematization of the construction of churches, towers, castle walls, palaces, and houses within castles and cities provide evidence of an underlying, if unaddressed, issue. That is, it is precisely in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that the structural link can most clearly be seen between both private and collective wealth, and the investment in stone structures built to last. Our study of the shift involving new institutional dynamics, but also unprecedented social practices, as well as ideological concepts radically different from those that had prevailed until then, aims to break down assumptions that have naturalized this truly astonishing process while using as case studies the undervalued regions of southern Europe to explore the larger questions. By inverting the standard approach that sees the heart of the former Carolingian empire (present-day France and Germany) as the wellspring from which other “peripheral” territories drank, we bring new light to probe the greater meaning behind the process of masonry building as an investment in social identity in the central Middle Ages.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is one of the most important viral diseases affecting swine, with a serious socio-economic impact. It is present in more than 13 countries in Europe (10 in the EU), 28 sub-Saharan African countries, and 2 Asian countries, China and Mongolia. No vaccine is available and recent incursions in Europe and Asia are jeopardizing the pig industry worldwide. Control of ASF is based on early diagnosis and the implementation of strict sanitary measures. However, measures taken by affected countries have not been sufficient to stop spread. The objective of VACDIVA is to solve the ASF problem in Europe and affected countries through innovation efforts. VACDIVA will provide (1) Three safe and effective pilot vaccines for wild boar and domestic pigs ready for registration; (2) validated companion DIVA tests and 3) cost-benefit and effective surveillance and control-vaccination strategies, with field trials in Lithuania and Kenia. Two world leader companies in vaccine production and ASF diagnostic kits will provide production of the new vaccines and DIVA tests. Epidemiological modelling of worldwide scenarios will be offered in a portfolio of services to help animal health authorities control and eradicate the disease. This project will provide policy makers valuable decision support tools to better prevent and control ASF. VACDIVA counts with the expertise of two world ASF Reference Laboratories (OIE and FAO), the EU reference laboratory (EURL), six EU national Reference Laboratories (of 6 out of the 10 countries currently affected by ASF) and four prestigious ASF research institutions. Participation of Russian, Chinese and African laboratories will provide useful support, increasing acceptance of the vaccines. Active involvement of pig producers, agricultural associations and International agencies like FAO will enlarge the impact of communication, dissemination and training activities.

Context-awareness is essential for many existing and emerging applications. Context information greatly relies on location information of people and things. But, navigation satellite systems are denied in indoor environments, current cellular systems fail to provide high-accuracy localization, other local localization technologies (e.g. WI-FI or BT) imply high deployment/maintenance/integration costs. Raw spatiotemporal data are not sufficient by themselves and need to be integrated with tools for the analysis of the behaviour of physical targets, to extract relevant feature of interests. LOCUS will improve the functionality of 5G infrastructures to: i) provide accurate and ubiquitous location information as a network-native service and ii) derive more complex features and behavioural patterns out of raw location and physical events, and expose them to applications via simple interfaces. Localization, together with analytics, and their combined provision “as a service”, will greatly increase the overall value of the 5G ecosystem, allowing network operators to better manage their networks and to dramatically expand the range of offered applications and services. The current freedom to act on 5G system design and availability of software network paradigms and AI techniques uniquely combine in this historical moment to make it possible to radically improve the future network by endowing it with accurate on-demand localization and analytics. LOCUS will showcase its solutions in three scenarios: Smart Network Management based on Location Information of 5G equipment; Network-assisted Self-driving Objects; People Mobility & Flow Monitoring. The LOCUS consortium gathers a diverse blend of high-profile partners including Operators, Vendors, IT industries and SMEs that can make its vision a reality. LOCUS will be an enabler of a myriad of applications for the 5G ecosystem and beyond, boosting vertical industries and creating new business opportunities also for telcos.

In order to tackle some of the prime societal challenges of this century, science has to urgently provide effective tools addressing the redesign of chemical value chains through the exploitation of novel, bio-based raw materials, and the discovery and implementation of more resource-efficient production platforms. Nature will inevitably play a pivotal role in the imminent transformation of industrial strategies, and the recent bioeconomy approaches can only be regarded as initial step towards a sustainable future. Operating at the interface between chemistry and life sciences, my ABIONYS will fundamentally challenge the widely held distinction separating chemical from biosynthesis, and will deliver the first proof-of-concept where abiotic reactions act as productive puzzle pieces in biosynthetic arrangements. On the basis of our previous ground-breaking discoveries on artificial enzyme functions, I will create a significantly extended toolbox of biocatalysis modules by applying protein-based interpretations of synthetically crucial but non-natural reactions i.e. transformations that are in no way biosynthetically encoded in living organisms. My research will exploit these tools in multi-enzyme cascades for the preparation of complex organic target structures, not only to highlight the great synthetic potential of these approaches, but also to lay the groundwork for in vivo implementations. Eventually, the knowledge gathered from enzyme discovery and cascade design will enable to create an unprecedented class of bioproduction systems, where the genetic incorporation of artificial enzyme functions into recombinant microbial host organisms will yield tailor-made cellular factories. Combining classical organic synthesis strategies with the power of modern biotechnology, ABIONYS is going to transform the way we synthesize complex and functional building blocks by allowing us to encode organic chemistry thinking into living production platforms.

Pressure is an important thermodynamic variable in order to understand the properties of the materials, even at room pressure, because it allows for a precise control over the interatomic distances and hence the atomic interactions. Moreover, the application of high pressure, many times in combination with high temperatures, allows the synthesis of new phases of materials with completely different properties to those from stable materials at room conditions. New phases of materials may be metastable at room conditions and thus lead to new technological advances. Sesquichalcogenides (A2X3 stoichiometry) have been traditionally studied due to their many interesting applications at high pressure. These interesting properties, together with the search for miniaturization, which includes isolating layers to form 2D mono- or bi-layer systems, have motivated an increased interest to explore the properties of the A2X3 compounds in the nanosize regime as well. In this regime, quantum confinement effects could become dominant thus altering the structural, electronic and optical behaviour when compared with the bulk material. In this context, studies of the properties of many bulk and nanocrystalline sesquichalcogenides are still required since their high pressure and high temperature phases have not yet been fully explored. Thus, the goal of this project is to study, from a theoretical perspective by employing ab-initio calculations, the structural, vibrational, elastic, and electronic properties of sesquichalcogenides under extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature and predict stable and metastable phases of these materials under these extreme conditions. The proposed work will complement experimental studies and will provide basic understanding of the physical-chemical properties of these materials, which will be important for respective implementation in technological devices.

The weirdness of quantum physics is among the most counterintuitive properties of nature. It is traced back to the early theoretical discussions on entanglement between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in the 1930s, which was then experimentally observed in the 1980s and became central in quantum information processing, communication and sensing schemes over the past decade. Utilizing the quantum nature of photons has so far been limited to small number of qubits, while being performed on table-top experimental setups composed of a large number of macroscopic components. This sets a limit to the complexity and efficiency of experiments that can be carried out. In HyQuIP, hybrid quantum integrated photonic circuits will be developed to generate, manipulate, and detect photons all on-a-chip to remove the bottlenecks currently limiting scalability of quantum science experiments. Our integrated approach will realize important milestones for fundamental understanding of the quantum nature of photons in addition to on-chip quantum computing to realize the ambitious schemes that have been put forward by theorists over the past decade. We will demonstrate the first fully-integrated, from generation to detection, quantum transceiver with multi-qubit inference on chip. Furthermore, we will explore the exciting regime of reducing the bandwidth of single-photons to zero in a dynamic photonic device. HyQuIP will not only open up new fundamental tests based on the quantum nature of reality and entanglement, it will also open up new applications: In quantum metrology providing superior sensitivity to classical schemes. Also in quantum imaging and lithography where multi-qubit quantum states can achieve super resolution beating the Rayleigh criterion for diffraction limit. The possibility to manipulate and measure quantum states on a single chip beyond two particles is bound to boost the implementation of practical quantum computing schemes.
