Indian-Atlantic interocean exchange (IAIE), occurring through Agulhas current/leakage, is one of the return flows of global thermohaline circulation that contributes to the temperate climate in Europe. Since IAIE affects the transport of heat and salt to the zone of deep water formation, the variability of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is related to IAIE as shown by instrumental observation and past reconstructions. However, the relationship between the IAIE and AMOC under different climate conditions including distinct atmospheric CO2 concentration is still to be elusive. The INDEXCLIMA (INDian-Atlantic interocean EXchange as modulator of global CLIMAte) project aims to study the deep-water IAIE, Agulhas current/leakage and AMOC evolution over the last 1000 kyr when internal feedback processes have modified climatic cyclicity from 41 kyr to 100 kyr (Mid-Pleistocene transition) and enhanced the amplitude of interglacial periods (Mid-Brunhes event ca. 430 kyr). The study area is the Mozambique Channel (Indian Ocean) and the Cape Basin (SE Atlantic Ocean) where 3 marine sediment cores were drilled and are available at CEREGE, France. The originality of this project resides on the reconstruction of deep water masses (Nd isotopic compositions, benthic foraminifera) and of surface Agulhas current (planktonic foraminifera) from the same cores across an Indian-Atlantic transect. This will allow estimating lead and lag between Agulhas current/leakage and deep water circulation changes. The study period beyond 800 kyr is also in line with the next target of glaciological community. This project is a great opportunity for me to develop new geochemical and technical skills including mastering Nd isotope geochemistry, the application of an innovative instrument that automatically sort foraminiferal tests and a new software for foraminiferal classification. These new skills will complement my previous knowledge improving my career possibilities in academia.

This 21 month MSCA Fellowship will develop a vital evidence base for domestic violence services in the UK and Europe to improve reporting and access to support by Polish migrant women in violent relationships. This will be achieved by conducting the first study of domestic violence amongst Polish migrant women living in the UK or indeed in any EU country. The research will capture the various factors shaping the domestic violence experiences of Polish women and work of practitioners (specialist domestic violence workers, social workers, police officers). The findings will also enhance conceptual understanding of how migration and transnational factors shape domestic violence. The Fellowship will draw on an inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration between Dr Iwona Zielińska (Researcher), Supervisor Celia Madden – the manager of EDAN Lincs (Host organisation) and an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Lincoln (secondment). This will ensure applied, practice-focused research and training with a 6-month inter-sectoral secondment to the UoL for academic input. The Society & Enterprise route of the MSCA scheme serves best to realise the practice-related aim of the research and to advance Dr Zielińska’s career goal of becoming an expert in translating research evidence to practice settings. A combination of qualitative methods from media studies, sociology and organizational studies, and the use of online tool NodeXL,will be used to obtain a holistic picture and in-depth knowledge on the problem from various perspectives. The Fellowship will thus generate the first research findings on this important dimension of vulnerability and harm. The findings and recommendations will be widely disseminated and communicated in UK, Poland and other EU countries to improve help services and to raise awareness of the issue.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires public buildings to be nearly energy neutral in 2018 and commercial buildings are expected to follow in 2020. In the pursuit of these nearly zero-energy buildings, innovative solutions to embed renewable energy supply on the building are sought after. The use of solar panels on large façade’s area is not yet a plausible solution since, with current technologies, it would result in dark closed buildings, while residents and workers seek glass facades to enjoy daylight. The Lumiduct is an innovative solution to generate renewable energy via the façade without having to compromise on transparency and design: a sun shading system made of transparent solar panels integrated into the building façade. The Lumiduct is the next step in making buildings energy-neutral. During the day, the Lumiduct’s transparent solar panels automatically follow the position of the sun and at the same time filter the sunlight, converting the direct, blinding sunlight into energy, but letting diffuse, soft daylight through. During the night, an advanced version integrating LEDs makes it possible to create a beautiful atmosphere and communicate with the community. The Lumiduct creates awareness and makes living in and around the building a great experience. The added value for the indoor climate is remarkable. Compared to a conventional automated sun shading system, the first results show that the Lumiduct system saves 24% on heating every year, 40% on cooling and 36% on lighting. Lumiduct has become a reality, having reached the pilot scale for the first time in a facade of 40 m² at an office building in the Netherlands. The Lumiduct will disrupt the Building Integrated PV (BIPV) market by allowing energy-generating full-glass façades.

Biome Makers is an innovative biotech company founded in 2015 by two well-recognized Spanish entrepreneurs, based in both Spain (14 employees) and U.S. (6 employees). We were named one of the Most Innovative Startups at the AgFunder Innovation Awards and Worldwide Agripreneur of 2019 in the future Agro Challenge. By combining DNA Sequencing technologies to profile the whole spectrum of microbes populating in the soils and proprietary Artificial Intelligence, we are using ecological computing algorithms to understand this complex network of microorganisms. The final goal is to provide insights and innovative metrics measuring soil bioactivity to improve agricultural yields and lower its environmental impact. Biome Makers have developed the first patented smart soil microbiome-based platform with a unique database of more than 5,000 soil samples from 20 different countries worldwide. In this context, BeCrop® rises as an innovative product that will provide a detailed snapshot of the health status of crop soils, by giving metrics about crop diseases risks, general biodiversity, an nutritional shortcomings, through the identification of the whole soil microbiome (the known +67K microbial species but also the unknown) with only a soil sample per ha. BeCrop® is the direct evolution of our system WineSeq®, developed by Biome Makers. WineSeq® is the first and the only intelligent platform designed for the wine sector for the characterization and comparison of the microbial communities that influence the quality and the organoleptic properties of wine, through a genomic NGS tool. In this context, the development of BeCrop® relies on the need to develop a complete soil microbiome diagnosis and microbial interactions understanding to identify potential microbial biomarkers to measure the health and quality of soils and, thus, to predict disease threats, functional bioactivity, as well as providing practical ag-input recommendations into a near future.

‘NOEMIX – New Mobility in Friuli Venezia Giulia’ supports the transition towards e-mobility in public fleets by building integrated technical, economic and legal expertise for the launch of concrete investments. NOEMIX combines public and private organizations with institutional competence (Regional Authority FVG is the leading public administration), technical/technological and economic/financial expertise and securing the involvement of private sector operators. NOEMIX implements a participated approach to involve the main public and private stakeholders, including mobility service providers, the lenders’ community, procurers and final users of the mobility service. The project aims to: - develop an innovative, standardized and easily replicable methodology based on the transition from a ‘fully public-owned fleet’ model to a ‘public-private mobility service partnership’ exploiting regional demand aggregation; - replace a significant share (around 30%) of vehicles owned by public institutions through a mix of rationalization in use and a mobility-as-a-service scheme based on long-term lease and car-sharing of e-vehicles; - trigger e-mobility and RES-plants investments for € 21,4m with a 1:23,7 leverage factor; - build technical economic, legal capacity within public authorities; - support the uptake of the methodology, tools and outcomes developed in NOEMIX by regional authorities in new areas and countries. The work-plan entails 4 main steps for the development of the scheme (participated context analysis, technical feasibility study, financial scheme and business plan, legal/administrative procedures to launch the tender), measures dedicated to dissemination and replication of the scheme (national/international Committee of Observers and replication laboratories). The above combined with experienced management and coordination and supported by a comprehensive communication campaign propping up each individual action for an effective implementation of the work-plan.

The DISTRO network brings together leading laboratories in Visual Computing and 3D Computer Graphics research across Europe with the aim of training a new generation of scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs that will move Europe into a leading role in the scientific and technological innovation in the area of casual, distributed 3d object design and customization. Whilst digital content has certainly grown, the world’s economy is still dominated by manufacturing. A new class of "rapid prototyping" technologies, from 3D printers to laser cutters, are making the process of manufacturing physical objects look increasingly like that of creating digital content. Just as the Web democratised digital innovation, the next ten years will see the application of these lessons to the real world. This new industrial revolution can only occur if it is as simple for real world objects to be captured, and modified as it is for music, text, and images. This is not yet the case, with most professional design software requiring a significant amount of time and investment to master. There is a real need for tools that are focused on making it simple for amateurs to create new products without experience or training – expediting the path from idea to entrepreneurship. Our network proposes a timely and innovative research training programme for the distributed capture, editing, and fabrication of objects - from the real world to digital and back again. We want to enable users to casually capture objects, which can then be easily shared on the Web and customised in simple yet powerful ways. The research training programme will be conducted by our network, consisting of a mix of academic and private partners. Through collaborative research, secondments, and training events, we will educate a new generation of researchers that are able to solve complex research challenges but at the same time acquire transferrable skills.

If the twentieth century was about discovering the basic laws of quantum mechanics, then the twenty first century will be about pushing them to new frontiers and learning how to control them. Condensed matter systems are predicted to host many intriguing and potentially useful quantum phenomena, though materials where they can be realized are rare. This motivates me to seek alternative routes for their realization, and to find new means for controlling quantum many-body systems. In this project I aim to provide a deeper and broader theoretical understanding of quantum dynamics in driven many-body systems, and to expose new routes for experimental investigation. As a major research theme, my team will investigate possibilities for using time-dependent fields to realize topological phenomena through strong driving. The theoretical description and realization of such phenomena is a multifaceted problem that will serve as a vehicle for elucidating many general aspects of driven quantum dynamics that are relevant on an even broader scale. To achieve my broad goals I propose an ambitious work plan, organized into three interrelated work packages focused on: 1) characterizing, 2) realizing, and 3) probing the static, dynamic, and topological properties of driven quantum systems. In some cases we will study conceptually pure, minimal models, designed to illustrate the interplay between driving and interactions. We will also investigate realistic, experimentally-motivated models, seeking to understand the key factors and processes that govern the realization of topological phenomena in driven systems, and how to control them. In addition, we will study non-equilibrium probes of correlated systems, focusing on using the nuclear spin environments of electronic systems to probe and control the systems' magnetic properties. Through each of these tracks we will gain valuable new insight into the nature and dynamics of quantum many-body systems, far from equilibrium.
