GYNVEPI will lay the foundations of an epidemiology of gynaecological violence (GV). GV refers to sub-optimal experiences of care that can be perceived as abusive or dehumanising (e.g. non-consented medical acts, discrimination). Understood as a structural and gendered form of violence, it is a phenomenon that is yet to be fully defined and investigated: in contrast to the neighbouring field of obstetric violence, it has not been researched. Taking Germany as an exemplary setting, GYNVEPI aims at understanding the who, the when, the how, and the health consequences of women’s experiences of GV. Through an innovative, intersectional, gender-expansive and gender-transformative approach to social epidemiology, it will provide a definition, a framework and a quantitative, validated instrument for the study of GV. The mixed-methods (reviews, workshops, interviews, survey, digital platform) and interdisciplinary approach ensure the depth and strength of the findings. GYNVEPI is important: gynaecological care constitutes in many countries the first point of contact for women’s health. Women are exposed throughout their life to the risk of GV, and its toll is assumed to be large, with consequences in the short- to long-term on mental, physical, social and sexual health. GYNVEPI is timely: the momentum of obstetric violence research provides a good starting point to reflect on GV; testimonies of GV outside the scientific arena urge researchers to grasp the topic; digital tools and participation enable to collect effectively and quickly experiences of care users, including among marginalised groups. GYNVEPI will generate new knowledge on GV and its associations with health. Its gender-transformative component will initiate a transformation of harmful gender norms among the researchers and “researched” through reciprocal empowerment. Lastly, the methodological approach will be applicable in further studies, e.g. longitudinal studies and GV studies in Europe.

BIOMETHAVERSE (Demonstrating and Connecting Production Innovations in the BIOMETHAne uniVERSE) aims to diversify the technology basis for biomethane production in Europe, to increase its cost-effectiveness, and to contribute both to the uptake of biomethane technologies and to the priorities of the SET Plan Action 8. To this aim five innovative biomethane production pathways will be demonstrated in five European countries: France, Greece, Italy, Sweden, and Ukraine. The project is based on the following founding pillars: Demonstration of innovative biomethane pathways; Technology optimisation and upscaling by technoeconomic flowsheeting; Environmental and social sustainability assessment; Replicability, market penetration, support to planning decisions of other investors and project developers, policy recommendations to policy makers; Dissemination, exploitation and communication of project results. BIOMETHAVERSE relates, within the Work Program 2021-2022 on Climate, Energy and Mobility, to the Call “Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply”, specifically to the topic HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-16: Innovative biomethane production as an energy carrier and a fuel. The project production routes cover one or a combination of the following production pathways: thermochemical, biochemical, electrochemical, and biological. As a starting point, four demonstration plants use conventional anaerobic digestion (AD), and one uses conventional gasification. In the BIOMETHAVERSE demonstrators, CO2 effluents from AD or gasification and other intermediate products are combined with renewable hydrogen or renewable electricity directly to increase the overall biomethane yield. All demonstrated production routes go beyond conventional technologies, with a circular approach for energy and material, while aiming at reducing the overall biomethane production costs and increasing the biomethane production. The demonstrated technologies will reach TRL 6-7 at the end of the project.

Exploring Chemistry under Vibration Strong Coupling: In the past several years, it has been shown experimentally that a cavity quantum electrodynamics phenomenon called vibrational strong coupling (VSC) can change chemical reactivity. This includes modification of reaction kinetics, product distributions and binding thermodynamics. VSC relies on the formation of hybrid light-matter states created by coupling molecular vibrations to photonic cavities. VSC utilizes light-matter interactions, without the need for any light as such, to modify the molecular wavefunction. The possibility of modifying chemical reactivity with VSC has generated considerable excitement in both academia and industry around the world. However, nobody is yet able to predict the outcome of chemical reactions under VSC. We lack an established theoretical framework and have only a limited number of experimental studies to rely on. This poses both a fundamental question and an impediment towards any future application. There is now a clear need for a systematic approach to reach a new level of insight and understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play in this phenomenon. This project proposes a systematic approach to study chemical reactivity under VSC in order to establish when and how VSC affects reactions and their mechanism. A single reaction, acyl substitution, which occurs on many structurally different substates will be examined in depth using tools like Hammett mapping and Eyring analysis. Subsequently, different reactions of a single functional group, being the carbonyl group, will be screened for VSC effects. All of this serves to uncover any pattern of effects experimentally and will generate a rich data set which can be used by theory groups construct new models and verify existing ones.

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a major advancement in many fields. It has enabled achieving non-precedent achievements such as human-level image recognition, intelligible language translation, and accurate medical diagnosis. The main research goal of the PI’s ERC-StG SPADE project is to use tools for data modelling to improve our understanding and usage of deep learning (DL) and thus enhance its performance in medical problems and computational imaging [1-4]. One of the fields that could greatly benefit from such progress is sensitive medical treatment, using AI-based medical devices. Such devices can initially assist the physicians with a more accurate diagnosis, and potentially save lives. As such technology matures, the information provided to the physicians will be richer, thus, leading to more accurate diagnoses to the cases at hand. Such advancement will allow high quality and efficient treatment to a much wider public. The scope of this POC is to apply intelligent optical imaging methods developed in the SPADE project, specifically, for introducing reliable 3D and polarization information to medical imaging devices.

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of metallic materials is one of the main challenges for the adoption of green H2 as a clean fuel. Degradation of pipelines and vessels is nowadays avoided by conservative design and material selection, but novel mitigation strategies for hydrogen embrittlement will foster cost-effective technologies. I envisage an Additive Manufacturing strategy to tune hydrogen diffusion as an effective and novel method to mitigate or even supress HE. The success of this framework requires the reconsideration of modelling and experimental techniques to characterise hydrogen transport and embrittlement in metals. My background on computational mechanics, hydrogen diffusion simulation and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) will guide the approach whereas the methodology will be enriched by innovative phase tailoring strategies and advanced computational and optimisation procedures. Tailoring hydrogen diffusion in steels will be accomplished by exploiting the enormous difference in diffusivity between fcc and bcc iron phases. Duplex Stainless Steels (DSS) that combine austenite (fcc) and ferrite (bcc) phases are thus considered as a first option to tune diffusion paths. Additionally, localized nitrogen evaporation to directly control fcc or bcc formation during micro-LPBF of High Nitrogen Steels (HNS) will be achieved by local variation of laser parameters. The main goal is to protect critical regions and therefore to supress hydrogen-assisted cracking. To produce shielding effects around stress concentrators, bcc/fcc “helmets” will be optimised by coupled modelling frameworks including hydrogen transport and fracture. Trapping and multiphase diffusion will be assessed by novel modelling procedures from thermal desorption and permeation experimental results. Finally, the effectiveness of the optimised tailored helmets will be evaluated by in-situ testing in gaseous H2, paving the way for resistant components to transport and store high-pressure hydrogen.

RightFutures inquires into the ways future-oriented activities shape the political experiences of youths (18-35 yo) who identify with the self-defined ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile. RightFutures research question (RQ) asks: “how and why do Youths who identify with the self-defined ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile engage with multiple futural orientations through political performances, events, activities, and materialities?”. RightFutures investigates the RQ through three specific objectives, focusing on security and defence, the (dictatorial) past, and the nation. It uses the method of comparative ethnography (data will be collected through participant observation, extended interviews, participatory mapping, and secondary sources). RightFutures will focus on Youths who identify with groups that have inherited the countries’ dictatorial legacies, acknowledging that the existence and practices of these groups become pivotal points used to renew the dictatorial past’s rightfulness. These groups thus preserve, perpetuate, and renew the dictatorial past’s contemporary relevance and permanency within democratic structures. Its innovative contributions are: i) investigating the ‘Real Right’ using a novel analytical focus through a futural temporal perspective; ii) proposing a novel ethnographic comparison between Italy and Chile to explore the global relevance of this topic; and iii) producing novel understandings of the ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile.

LiveEO will offer a holistic monitoring service for infrastructure networks based on satellite data and machine learning algorithms to identify external threats to the grid and predict future impacts by adding time series analytics to our services. The service will enable rapid change detection (e.g. storm monitoring) to quickly assess the location and extent of damage and slow change detection to facilitate the prediction of potential risks. We will make use of optical and radar data to offer services in real time, regardless of weather. The solution requires the development of AI-based change detection algorithms that evaluate data at different points in time i.e. time-series and are able to detect patterns and abnormalities in the data with high precision. To do this automatically, the development of an automated process chain, able to transform data into actionable insights for our customers is part of the solution. Insights will be made available via mobile and web apps.

With increase of global dental implant industry, perimplantitis became an emerging problem worldwide, affecting up to 43% of the placed implants. Periimplantitis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms,that adhere to the implant surface triggering imflammation and bone destruction, eventally leading to implant loss in half of the cases. The overall aim of periimplantitis treatment is re-osteointegration of implant with surrounding bone, that can be achieved only in case of complete control over infection The existing treatment approaches are not able to provide efficient decontamination of the implant surfaces, while effectiveness of the existing local antibiotic delivery systems is questionable. The aim of this project is to develop biomimetic injectable CaP-based pastes with antibacterial and osteogenic properties for periimplantitis treatment. We will utilize biocompatible materials, such as octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and natural hydrogels (hyaluronic acid and functionalized gelatin) that closely resemble to the composition of inorganic and organic components of the bone extracellular matrix. They will serve as versatile platforms for local delivery of antibiotics such as Metronidazole and Doxyciсline or antimicrobial nanoparticles into the peri-implant pockets after mechanical removal of the bacterial biofilm. We hypothesize that these materials will offer control over infection in peri implant area and subsequent cellular functions and may have a great potential for implant re-osteointegration. To date, antibacterial formulations of bone graft materials, targeting peri-implant oral microflora are not available in the market. The obtained innovational products, designed according to the Principles of Good Manufacturing will have optimized composition and handling properties to be used straightforward at the chairside in dental office, without additional invasive surgical manipulations.
