Arc magmatism at subduction zones is responsible for much of the mass transfer of chemical elements between the Earth’s lower and upper spheres. Arc magmas are significantly more oxidized and richer in volatile elements than other voluminous magma types on Earth. These characteristics promote the genesis of large magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits and potentially also the build-up of the oxygen budget of the Earth’s atmosphere. Despite its great significance, the origin of the higher oxidation state of arc magmas is still one of the most debated questions in petrology. I will combine high-pressure-temperature experiments, field-based studies and computational simulations to obtain quantitative understanding of redox reactions taking place during magma genesis, differentiation and degassing. Subsequently, I will apply this new knowledge to assess if arc magmatism may have been a key to the oxygenation of the Earth’s atmosphere, and to pinpoint the most prospective regions for the generation of giant ore deposits. Most experiments will rely on revolutionary new instrumentation and methodologies, which I have recently developed or will develop as a part of the project. For example, we will determine for the first time the speciation of sulfur in aqueous fluids in situ at magmatic temperatures and upper crustal pressures by using a prototype spectroscopic cell, so that its critical role in redox transfer and ore genesis can be quantified. Similarly, the field-based studies will employ a new method to constrain the redox evolution of magmas with unparalleled precision, which will be developed experimentally by using a prototype high-pressure apparatus with a unique capability to control redox conditions. In addition, these will also apply a powerful combination of novel and challenging analytical methods including the analysis of Au, Pt, Pd and Re concentrations and S isotope ratios in silicate melt inclusions in minerals to identify the key agents of magma oxidation.

As a leading European research university, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) Muenchen is committed to providing optimal conditions and reliable career paths for early-career researchers. To this end, the University aims to expand its successful LMU Research Fellowship Program, which provides excellent research options and professional training conditions for outstanding international postdoctoral researchers from any field of research. The program gives Research Fellows the opportunity to carry out their own independent research project with the support of an LMU professor. As part of COFUND, the program will be differentiated into an incoming and a new outgoing fellowship scheme and provide additional international and cross-sectoral training opportunities to foster the mobility of Research Fellows. Incoming fellows will be able to undertake secondments of three to six months to international academic partner institutions. Alternatively, they may collaborate with a non-academic partner institution in the Greater Munich area or elsewhere. Outgoing fellowships will be offered to excellent postdocs with a doctorate from LMU in order to promote the scientific exchange with non-EU countries. Fellows will be seconded to an academic partner institution in a Third Country during an outgoing phase of 12 months and will be reintegrated into a department at LMU during their 12-month return phase. As a rule, incoming and outgoing fellowships will be awarded for two years. In exceptional cases, funding for an additional year may be granted for projects whose scope and originality require additional research time as part of 2+1 fellowships. In summary, the expansion of the LMU Research Fellowships will enhance the career development of international postdocs, extend LMU’s regional and international network of collaborations and contribute to the circulation of outstanding researchers and scientific innovations as part of the realisation of the European Research Area.

FlowcusinUP global innovation project aims at designing an innovative Microencapsulation industrial-strength system sufficiently scalable, adaptable and versatile to fulfil new market opportunities. Ingeniatrics is a highly innovative SME with extensive background in micro-and-nanoscale market and technologies, and with an Intellectual Knowledge protected by over 80 national and international patents (and applications). Despite his proven track record, Ingeniatrics’ current laboratory-based manufacturing facility couldn’t afford the increasing demands of the fast-growing microcapsules market. FlowcusinUP industrialization will improve the efficiency in the process of manufacture, driving Ingeniatrics to produce monodisperse particles with a core-shell full protection and sizes below 100-150 microns. At this moment, there is no system capable of producing microcapsules with ultimate features that allow the patented technologies from Ingeniatrics and with efficient quantity/cost ratio to address industry-wide production. The present FlowcusinUP Phase 1 will undertake technical, economical, operational and marketing-related analysis to validate the profitability of the solution and successful access to global market. At the end of phase 2 FlowcusinUP foresees a reduction of production costs of approximately 50 times, and reduction of production time around 150 times compared to current systems. The future commercialization of the FlowcusinUP outcomes will strengthen EU microparticles’ ecosystem and related applications (nutraceuticals, agrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, textiles, paper industry...) and will booster Ingeniatrics to a leading position within the microencapsulation market.

Today’s energy grids are moving from a concentrated model to a distributed model. Renewable energy sources like solar PV and wind power systems are becoming increasingly popular, but also represent a challenge for energy grids. As a result, new more efficient energy structures are emerging, like Smart Grids, Micro Grids and Virtual Power Plants, but inverters on the market are not suitable, since they lack features such as integrated storage capabilities and bidirectional power flow. Ferroamp is proposing the FerroHub, an innovative electronic hub leveraging several patents, which fully supports smart grids. The solution incorporates a PV inverter, energy storage and the necessary hardware and software to handle power flow to and from the network, as well as other innovative technologies developed by Ferroamp that augment the stability of the power network and empower the users to gain control of their energy costs. FerroHub is absolutely scalable and flexible system with only three types of modules required for any installation. The FerroHub project aims to significantly contribute to sustainability, resilience, reliability, security and survivability principles, for both key stakeholders – the end-users and installers. The expected outcome of the project is to start the full commercialization of the Ferroamp’s technology at the end of the PH2 as a reliable innovation validated by the households and facilities operators. Therefore, Ferroamp proposes to update the system requirements and specifications; to upgrade the design and the engineering of the systems already in the TRL6. The main objective of the further product engineering is to raise the TRL level of the EnergyHub system by fully implementing the modular concept, the DC-nanogrid and by industrializing product so it can be a mass-produced. Also to demonstrate the efficiency of FerroHub in buildings and to validate the technology through planned installations in Sweden, Germany and the UK.

Digital communications are a cornerstone of a digitalised and connected society. Both terrestrial and satellite communications systems face increasing demands for higher frequency band, power and efficiency for communications electronics. SweGaN has developed a patent-protected production tool and methodology for producing very high quality GaN material grown on a Silicon Carbide substrate. Implemented as High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs), our devices have of the world’s best performances, particularly at high frequencies. The recent breakthrough CoolHEMT design is the world’s first bufferless GaN HEMT, with superior power and frequency performance. SweGaN materials will enable smaller devices, weighing less, consuming less power, and reducing systems requirements; devices with better cost/benefit ratios. These can a) reduce energy per bit of data: combatting the growing energy/CO2 footprint of digital communications, and b) are more cost-effective: enabling widespread, affordable, sustainable internet for all, a cornerstone of Digital Society and Digital Single Market. CoolHEMT will also complement ongoing European efforts to secure an autonomous source of high quality GaN materials and devices for advanced applications Building on a successful phase 1 activity (ELeGaNS), the CoolHEMT phase 2 project will 1) further improve the performance of its baseline GaN material and devices, 2) scale material production and process into a pilot line, 3) validate material performance in prototype devices developed with commercial partners, including field trials in representative extreme environments, and 4) secure the pre-orders, joint ventures and investment to finance final scaling to market (in Phase 3). SweGaN aim to reach a market share of 10% of GaN devices in Europe, generating 157 direct and 600 indirect jobs and €26.5M in direct revenue by 2023.

Modern systems are increasingly dezentralized and massively distributed computations play a vital role in the systems of the future. This project aims to advance the foundational aspects of distributed computing, particularly MessagePassing algorithms for optimization problems. The strong shift towards distributed systems also lead to a flurry of works on such algorithms -- many optimization problems now have distributed algorithms with optimal worst-case performance guarantees. Generally, these guarantees cannot be improved because they match unconditional impossibility results, which prove severe limitations on the performance of distributed algorithms in some (pathological) network topologies. Real world networks, however, are never worst-case and do not share the limiting bottleneck characteristics of these pathological topologies. In fact, there is no known barrier for ultra-fast polylogarithmic-round distributed algorithms on any network of interest. This leaves an exponential gap between current worst-case-optimal algorithms and what is likely possible in many, if not all, real-world settings. Motivated by this, this project provides a program for a general toolbox and theory for MessagePassing optimization algorithms that go beyond worst-case topologies. The main and guiding high-risk high-gain goal is the development of universally optimal distributed algorithms, which are competitive with the best algorithm on any given topology. This would constitute the strongest possible form of algorithmically adjusting to non-worst-case topologies. A detailed program with many concrete and smaller stepping stones towards this ambitious breakthrough objective is provided. Many of the novel questions stemming from this program and proposal are highly interdisciplinary, crossing boundaries between information theory, distributed computing, topological graph theory, and other parts of theoretical computer science, and are fundamental and interesting in their own right.

The construction industry is critical to innovation and employment in the EU economy, providing 20 million direct jobs and about 10 % of the EU’s GDP. The EU’s Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) has set an ambitious target of at least 70% of construction and demolition waste (CDW) to be reused, recycled or undergo materials recovery by 2020. Coupled with the challenges of depletion of raw materials and demand for low carbon material resources, new eco-innovative building materials (BM) are urgently required. Geopolymers are alternative low-carbon binders and can be produced through the reuse of industrial wastes. Although economically viable, market uptake and widespread application of these new types of synthetic materials is currently hampered by public health concerns related to immobilization of potentially toxic compounds and in particular radiation exposure from natural isotope content. The EU’s Council Directive (2013/59/Euratom) has laid down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation including BMs. The By-BM project will develop innovative, environmentally-safe geopolymer building materials – which integrate waste materials, yet comply with necessary safety standards. Inactive leaching studies will also be carried out to investigate the possibilities of By-BM geopolymers in Radioactive Waste Cementation. The project brings together a leading research group in geopolymer concrete (Host – Queen’s University Belfast) together with secondments to the Nuclear Technological Centre (Hasselt University) and the JRC Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements. The unique skills of the researcher will be required to exploit and innovate upon the research expertise of the participating institutes. The Fellow will extend his radioecology related experience whilst developing new skills in low carbon footprint geopolymers (and their replacement of traditional building materials, especially cements).
