Datafied living develops a communication-centric conceptual and empirical research agenda on the relationship between infrastructures for tracking of the self and forms of agency and meaning in datafied living. It focuses on the mundane experiences and implications of voluntary, pushed, coerced and imposed forms of self-tracking that unfold as we practice ourselves and pursue the good life through digital media. Despite a general, growing scholarly and public concern about the power that big tech companies have amassed in shaping societal developments and individual life possibilities through datafication, we lack knowledge about how exactly datafication is experienced, what it means to ordinary people, and how it shapes diverse contexts of everyday life. Such knowledge is crucial to intervene in tech development and its regulation in support for human flourishing: in facilitating good, safe and meaningful datafied living for all. Datafied Living is groundbreaking in five respects: 1) by framing datafication as conditioned on communication, I develop a novel communicative framework that cuts across domains of application and significantly advances both communication theory and datafication research; 2) I cover uncharted empirical territory of “datafication as viewed from below”, unifying data-driven and classic methods in an ambitious, context-sensitive methodology to study infrastructures and experiences of self-tracking and tracking of the self by others across personal, work and institutional life in the welfare state of Denmark, one of the most digitized and datafied countries in the world; 3) I unify and synthesize infrastructural analyses and experiential perspectives to elicit agentic potentials of mundane self-tracking across contexts; 4) I bring a much needed European, and context-sensitive perspective to an otherwise US-dominated debate; 5) I offer a well-tested methodology, and software, to scale the study of datafied living to cross-national comparison.

In ELICAN, a strong team of complementary European companies with worldwide leading presence in the Wind Energy industry join forces to provide the market with a disruptive high-capacity and cost-reducing integrated substructure system for deep offshore wind energy. The technology is exceptionally fitted to meet the technical and logistical challenges of the sector as it moves into deeper locations with larger turbines, while allowing for drastic cost reduction. This project will design, build, certify and fully demonstrate in operative environment a deep water substructure prototype supporting Adwen’s 5MW offshore wind turbine, the be installed in the Southeast coast of Las Palmas (Canary Islands). It will become the first bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine in all of Southern Europe and the first one worldwide to be installed with no need of heavy-lift vessels. The revolutionary substructure consists in an integrated self-installing precast concrete telescopic tower and foundation that will allow for crane-free offshore installation of the complete substructure and wind turbine, thus overcoming the constraints imposed by the dependence on heavy-lift vessels. It will allow for a full inshore preassembly of the complete system, which is key to generate a highly industrialized low-cost manufacturing process with fast production rates and optimized risk control. The main benefits to be provided by this ground-breaking technology are: • Significant cost reduction (>35%) compared with current solutions. • Direct scalability in terms of turbine size, water depth, infrastructure and installation means. • Complete independence of heavy-lift vessels • Excellently suited for fast industrialized construction. • Robust and durable concrete substructure for reduced OPEX costs and improved asset integrity. • Suitable for most soil conditions, including rocky seabeds. • Enhanced environmental friendliness regarding both impact on sea life and carbon footprint.

PANDORA (Probing safety of nano-objects by defining immune responses of environmental organisms) shall assess the global impact of engineered nanoparticles (NP) on the immune responses of representative organisms covering all evolutionary stages and hierarchical levels from plants to invertebrates and vertebrates. Immunity is a major determinant of the survival and fitness of all living organisms, therefore immunosafety of engineered NP is a key element of environmental nanosafety. PANDORA will tackle the issue of global immunological nanosafety by comparing the impact of widely-used NP (e.g., iron, titanium and cerium oxide) on the human immune response with their effects in representative terrestrial and marine organisms. This comparison will focus on the conserved system of innate immunity/stress response/inflammation, aiming to identify common mechanisms and markers across immune defence evolution shared by plants (Arabidopsis), invertebrate (bivalves, echinoderms, earthworms), and vertebrate (human) species. PANDORA’s objectives are: 1. To identify immunological mechanisms triggered by nano-objects, and predictive markers of risk vs. safety; 2. To do so by a collaborative cross-species comparison, from plants to human, of innate immune defence capacity, using selected, industrially-relevant NP; 3. To design predictive in vitro assays to measure the immuno-risk of NP to the environment and human health, as new approaches to industrial and environmental nanosafety testing. PANDORA will train 11 PhD students in an overarching training programme involving training-by-research, joint courses of technical, scientific and transferrable skills, participation to public scientific events, and an intense intersectoral networking exchange plan. The PANDORA consortium encompasses academic institutions, research centres, and SMEs, all with proven experience in higher education and training, and state-of-the art scientific and technical expertise and infrastructures.

This project is the first comprehensive study of transcultural knowledge production in early modern Europe. Its underpinning idea is that the students who travelled from central-eastern Europe to attend renowned universities were active agents of this transcultural knowledge. During their stays abroad they created personal hand-written notebooks containing lecture notes and any other texts that attracted their interest. Conserved in the archives of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine, these notebooks provide us with unique and first-hand documentary evidence of the impact of multiple cultural stimuli on knowledge. Combining intellectual history, history of migration and physical analysis of documents, the project will consider the period from the rise of this practice among students, due to an unprecedented availability of paper (c. 1470), up to the Thirty Years’ War, which restricted their travels. Its objectives are to analyse: the relationship between academic and non-academic knowledge gathered in the students’ notebooks; the emergence of new forms of self-learning, examining the criteria of text selection; and the contact between humanist culture and the cultures of the countries the students came from. Early modern studies of knowledge production have traditionally focused on academic teaching. Although the cosmopolitan nature of universities is an established fact in these studies, the impact of different cultures (languages, artistic-literary interests, religious practices) on knowledge creation has been neglected, due to lack of evidence. Students’ experience makes it possible to observe links between knowledge and a plurality of languages and traditions which best reflects the European scenario at the time. The project will explore knowledge creation from an unprecedented angle, fostering a rethinking of the notion of centre and peripheries in Renaissance studies and breaking important new ground for research on intellectual history.

Lab-made artificial tissues and organoids promise to revolutionize medicine, tackling transplant shortage, and to innovate biological and pharmaceutical research, introducing accurate in vitro models of human physiology, as potential alternatives to animal experimentation. The functionality of living organs is intimately linked to their complex architecture, from the physicochemical properties of extracellular microenvironment, to tissue-level scale, where multiple cell populations interact in a precisely orchestrated spatial distribution. Advances in key technologies capturing this shape-function relationship in vitro can bring the long-sought goal of real tissue engineering within reach. In VOLUME-BIO I will develop a novel multi-material volumetric bioprinting technology for the precise generation of engineered tissues and organoids exhibiting physiological functions. Inspired by optical tomography, cell-laden hydrogels are sculpted into tissue analogues within seconds, upon exposure to bio-friendly 3D visible light fields. Tuneable light patterns control the local distribution of cells and, through orthogonal photo-chemical reactions, of key factors that guide stem cell fate, namely stiffness of the extracellular matrix and morphogenetic biochemical cues. The unprecedented ability to tune independently such parameters will also permit to build 3D platforms to study how architectural complexity impacts organoid maturation. This will provide a new tool to address the so far unanswered question of how much an engineered tissue needs to mimic Nature’s template to achieve physiological functionality. Bringing together my expertise in engineering, bioprinting, materials design and stem cell biology, I will first test the potential and versatility of this novel volumetric technology by building from anatomical patient-specific images functional and centimetre-scale vascularized bone and bone marrow organoid supporting physiological-like hematopoiesis.

Ongoing digital innovations have changed mindsets and raised expectations. Consumers are no longer interested in simply finding the best price, but they want to have a great experience. ‘Brick and mortar’ stores play an indispensable role in retail; however, they face huge challenges. The rise of ecommerce giants threatens to force retailers to close their stores. Plus, younger generations have higher expectations, which contributes to a higher rate of churn. The Antavo Loyalty Platform with In-store Experience Terminal is a next-generation loyalty program and new paradigm for a “unified user experience” in retail stores, uniting the online and offline shopping worlds. This solution can help businesses stand up against the ecommerce giants and provide better services to their consumers, thus reducing churn. Most current solutions focus on the online space. The few offline solutions available are expensive and difficult to implement. Antavo provides more engagement touchpoints between retailers and their customers. Consumers have a better user experience, personalization and gamification, while also saving 30% of their time. The Platform is currently on level TRL7. Targeted users are Omnichannel brands (B2B2C) and Loyalty Agencies in Europe and the U.S. The key market application will be the SaaS platform, and we’ll also offer licenses for In-store Experience Terminal devices. Loyalty Management represents a high-volume market that’s growing fast. The overall market is estimated to be valued at 8.4 billion Euros in 2024. In Phase 1, we will focus on a technical viability check covering the feasibility of production, maintenance, cost optimization, and lean ‘waste’ reduction. We will conduct market surveys to support our concept and conduct an FTO analysis. We will also formulate the project plan of Phase 2 and a detailed business plan. The TRL-9 level product will be finalized in Phase 2 at an estimated cost of 1.1 million Euros.

The extent to which nuclei can comprise lighter nuclear clusters in low-mass systems directly influences astrophysical production and decay rates. However, the scope of clustering away from stability has yet to be fully investigated. This proposal will address this by implementing novel measurement apparatus for exotic clustering in key short-lived isotopes using resonant elastic scattering and at the same time demonstrate an improved spectroscopic tool that can be applied to a wide range of nuclear structure studies. This is possible because of key charged-particle detector expertise of the ER and the Supervisor complementing both the ER's experience in radioactive ion beams and the MC40 cyclotron facility at Birmingham. Birmingham's world-class leadership in clustering and charged-particle spectroscopy make this location an ideal host. The result is a focused proposal that will lead to a flexible tool for extracting precise structure data from radioactive beam experiments, answering questions at the frontiers of nuclear stability, models and nuclear astrophysics. A significant reduction in beam-time required for such investigations will be achieved making the apparatus practical for use at international user facilities while opening more systems to this technique and reducing background.

For decades, the Standard Model of particle physics has successfully predicted the outcome of experiments probing the laws of nature on the smallest distances. Its last missing ingredient, the Higgs particle, was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in 2012. A vast experimental program is now underway to complete its description of weakly interacting particles called neutrinos. For all its successes, the Standard Model does not provide an explanation for the nature of dark matter, which is thought to account for a quarter of the energy in the universe. This project, based on the `lattice QCD' framework, will enable a more stringent test of the Standard Model, contribute to narrowing down the list of dark-matter candidate particles, and reduce uncertainties in neutrino detection. The strong interaction, which binds protons and neutrons together to form atomic nuclei, is described by the sector of the Standard Model called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The complexity of the strong interaction is often the limiting factor in testing the Standard Model and in searching for new fundamental particles and forces. Strong-interaction matter is also of tremendous intrinsic interest because it exhibits many emerging phenomena such as spontaneous symmetry breaking, quantum-relativistic bound states, and a high-temperature `quark-gluon plasma' phase, to name a few. By replacing space and time by a lattice, QCD becomes amenable to an ab initio treatment via large-scale computer simulations. The subproject of testing `sterile' neutrinos as dark-matter constituents depends on understanding aspects of hot QCD matter, since they would have been produced in the early, hot universe. This goal is thus connected to present-day heavy-ion collision experiments, where tiny droplets of hot QCD matter are produced in the laboratory.
