The rising housing cost overburden rate, increasing house prices and rising rents in the EU, and lack of access to affordable/ adequate/ quality housing has increasingly become a major concern for low- and middle-income groups and vulnerable communities. As a response to this on-going crisis, the last two decades have witnessed a shift and re-emergence towards several forms of decentralisation, co-creation, and participative planning in housing in Europe, often referred together as forms of collaborative housing (CoH). Despite these prevalent forms that are typically driven with the need of affordability and social inclusion, the challenges around housing continue to increase (eg. Migration, gentrification, ageing population) leading to greater socio-demographic issues (social exclusion of vulnerable groups, socio-economic segregation, displacement in rental housing markets etc.), and making it a chronic crisis. But, lack of verifiable systematic and quantitative evidence is a major barrier and does little to support the potential of these CoH forms in mitigating the issues. The knowledge around participation in CoH or its impact remains qualitative and fragmented, compromising a comprehensive understanding of the actual social value brought by them in terms of how they are capable to address the changing dynamics of housing in Europe with ongoing and emerging issues. Thereby, SOLVE-H proposes a clear structure to develop an evidence-based index, enabling to map of social value of participation and capture the social impact of ‘collaborative’ trends in housing. The project addresses the social complexity project through mixed-method approaches from interdisciplinary disciplines (eg. sociology, citizen science). The main objectives are to: • understand the social value of participation in CoH • enable evidence-based quantification of social value of participation in CoH • localise the developed social value index and facilitate its application for CoH in Europe

The overall aim of the Ammonia2-4 project is to demonstrate at full scale two types of dual fuel marine engines running on ammonia as main fuel: (i) a four-stroke and (ii) a two-stroke engine. The proposed four-stroke innovation is a newbuild 10MW engine to be demonstrated in lab conditions closely mimicking real-life operations in ambient conditions. The proposed two-stroke innovation is a medium-pressure ammonia fuel injection platform that can be retrofitted onto any two-stroke marine engine available in the market today. It will be demonstrated in the project at two stages: a lab demonstration followed by retrofitting onto a container vessel of the alpha customer MSC. Both engine innovations are expected to result in at least 80% less GHG emissions (including nitrous oxide emissions), NOx emissions below IMO Tier III regulations and a negligible ammonia slip below 10ppm. By demonstrating both engine types at full scale the project partners are aiming for commercial exploitation of the project results towards more than 90% of the maritime intercontinental transport in terms of gross tonnage, including retrofits and newbuilds to enter the fleet within the next ten years. It is expected that both Ammonia2-4 innovations will lead to an annual reduction of CO2 emitted by deep sea vessels calling at EU ports by 2.3 million tons, and reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants such as SOx by 15 tons annually. The project will go beyond purely technological developments and investigate a number of non-technical aspects crucial for a successful uptake of ammonia as marine fuel: health & safety, ammonia supply infrastructure, crew training & acceptance, but also novel standardisation pathways for regulating emissions from ammonia marine engines.

Wheelchair users (WCU) are three to five times more inactive than the general population, leading to a high risk of developing preventable secondary conditions. Although physical activity (PA) guidelines have been specifically developed for WCU, we lack systematic approaches to implement them in practice, as well as valid algorithms to monitor PA change in WCU through sensor-based solutions. Accordingly, the overall scientific aim of the WHeelchair Activity Monitoring project (WHAM) is to advance PA research and practice in WCU by developing valid digital markers for monitoring of and providing feedback on PA, paving the way for implementation and intervention. I will accomplish this through combining the complementary research fields of 1) behavioural intervention studies focusing on increasing PA in WCU (core competence University of British Columbia, UBC; outgoing phase) and 2) sensor-based PA monitoring (core competence Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU; returning phase – consolidated by non-academic placement at Maastricht Instruments, which develop research prototypes including PA monitors). WHAM’s scientific aim is achieved through three objectives: 1) Measure the effect of a pragmatic exercise intervention trial on self-reported physical activity levels and cardio-respiratory fitness, 2) Develop valid algorithms for tracking PA markers in WCU, and 3) Co-create a framework that outlines how PA can be conjointly monitored and provided feedback on in WCU. This fellowship will enable me to become established as an internationally recognized researcher in the field of “physical activity and disability”, while bringing together ongoing national disjointed research activities in this field. Altogether, my overall ambition is to contribute to reducing inequalities in daily-life participation among WCU compared to the rest of the population.

Nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) switches offer 10 to 100 times less power consumption than conventional transistors, but their widespread adoption is hindered by challenges related to adhesion, electrical contact resistance (ECR), and in-operando property evolution. This project aims to address these issues by developing reliable interface coatings capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of NEMS interface, such as high stresses, repetitive cycling, and Joule heating. Oxide formation on metal contacts is unavoidable, unlike tribopolymers. Though they are typically insulators, but can conduct electricity via electron dispersion and are proven effective in harsh environments. Oxides also offer advantages over metals, including high strength, low adhesion, and resistance to creep and fatigue, and can replace metal contacts completely. The proposal turns the liability into an advantage by considering oxides as a potential solution for NEMS switch interface. The project will use a materials genome search to select hard oxides with distinct conduction mechanisms—semimetals (RhO2, RuO2, TiOx), semiconductors (TiO2), and oxides with oxygen vacancies (Ta2Ox). Advanced characterization techniques such as TEM, XRD, and XPS will assess coating quality. To streamline the complex fabrication and testing process, an innovative in-situ AFM method with integrated plasma cleaning (to ensure clean environment), and controlled environment will be developed, enabling real-time monitoring of asperity interactions. This approach will directly link nano-asperity responses to actual NEMS interfaces. MD simulations will guide experiments, provide atomic-level insights, and develop semi-empirical prediction models for further development of NEMS switch architecture. This project aims to revolutionize energy-efficient computing by addressing tribo-chemo-electro-mechanics challenges at the NEMS interface, driving advancements in communication, transportation, sensing, medicine, and defense.

Babbling is a critical milestone of infant speech development. In only 12 months, infants explore how to move their mouth, tongue, and vocal cords to produce increasingly complex sounds before eventually producing their first words. Investigating early vocal development in both typical and atypical infant populations requires meticulous efforts involving the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of manually transcribing children’s linguistic productions. The present action, at the crossroads between speech processing, machine learning, and language acquisition, proposes to 1) build an open-source automatic universal phone recognizer for infant vocalizations to accelerate language acquisition research; 2) design an innovative measure to assess when early vocalizations reflect the infant’s ambient language(s); and 3) apply the developed methodology to the study of typical and atypical infant populations. By combining large-scale multilingual corpora and state-of-the-art automatic speech processing tools, our first objective is to endow researchers with a novel tool to advance our understanding of infants’ early vocal development. Our second objective is to shed new light on the simple yet controversial question: When do infants start exhibiting distinct babbling patterns across different languages? Beyond its theoretical implications, our proposal holds clinical significance as we will apply the developed tools and measures to investigate early vocal markers associated with speech disorders, constituting our third objective.

Energy migration, by which bound electron-hole pairs (i.e. singlet excitons) travel through an organic semiconductor before decaying, is at the heart of functioning optoelectronic devices such as solar cells. Designing materials with large singlet exciton diffusion lengths Ld would strongly benefit the efficiency of such devices. In this context, recent reports in highly ordered polymeric fibers and non-fullerene acceptor thin films of Ld largely exceeding the typical 10-20nm values call for a detailed microscopic picture going beyond the usual (hopping) models. Among others, a key missing ingredient in most modelling studies so far deals with the role of inter-molecular charge-transfer (CT) excitations. These have the potential to magnify the exciton dispersion at the band bottom or act as gateways for long-range energy migration, but could equally be detrimental to transport due to the formation of low-lying energy traps. In TECTESA, we aim at providing an in-depth mechanistic analysis of singlet exciton diffusion in organic molecular semiconductors in presence of CT configurations, highlighting namely their contrasting effects on the shape of the thermally accessible excitonic density of states and the coupling to the nuclear degrees of freedom. To reach this ambitious goal, we will: (i) develop and implement a universal transport formalism based on mixed classical-quantum non-adiabatic molecular dynamic simulations that explicitly accounts for CT excitations; (ii) explore how intermolecular CT configurations affect the nature and dynamics of singlet excitons in reduced models, through a broad range of physical situations (from superexchange to hybridization and trapping); and (iii) apply our newly developed approach to study energy migration in realistic, fully atomistic, models for N-heterotriangulene supramolecular fibers and non-fullerene Y6 molecular acceptors, where preliminary investigations seem to intimate the presence of low-lying CT pairs.

ARTEMIS proposes fundamental research toward the development of integrable single and entangled photon sources based on metallorganic molecular compounds. The project is motivated by the urgent need for novel quantum sources with unprecedented versatility, flexibility and performance. This goal will be pursued by resorting to molecular materials, based on transition metal and/or lanthanide ions with organic moieties, characterized by tunable linear downshifted emission as well as non-linear optical properties enabling on-demand single photons and entangled photon pairs/triplets generation. Such flexible and processable metallorganic materials will replace traditional quantum photon sources based on bulk inorganic crystals allowing for the direct integration of wavelength-tunable quantum sources on current devices. The molecular quantum sources will be combined with suitable designed plasmonic supernanostructured cavities to achieve the highest optical enhancement. The proposed progress will be gained through cutting-edge synthesis techniques and advanced characterization methods integrated with nano-photonics engineering strategies. The devices and methods developed in this project will lead to photon sources with competitive performance in terms of coherence, efficiency, scalability, and cost. This will lead to a fundamental breakthrough in the development of quantum technologies, paving the way to bring them out of the laboratory into the real world. The achievement of the high risk/high gain project goal requires an intensive research activity in different scientific/technological areas, achievable thanks to a multidisciplinary consortium, and the right balance among the competitiveness of the expected results, the degree of the technological innovation, and future development. The outcomes and targets are expected to lead European research at the forefront of the second quantum revolution, thus contributing to Europe’s position as a global leader in the field.

The electron-phonon interaction is ubiquitous in many-particle physics and chemistry. The strength of the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) determines countless physical properties and phenomena. Notably, it gives rise to conventional superconductivity and plays a key role in high-temperature superconductivity. The main goal of RENOIR is to accurately determine the EPC strength in materials that are relevant for technological applications, providing crucial insights into the behaviour of excitons and phonon-driven phenomena. Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectroscopy holds the promise to access phonon excitations with a remarkable high-resolution, thanks to the significant technical advancements achieved in recent years, providing momentum dependence and bulk sensitivity. However, the interpretation of measured signatures remains challenging since different excitations are coupled through interactions. Indeed, although RIXS is used to measure EPC, it primarily reveals exciton-phonon coupling, due to the interaction with a core hole. So far, theoretical approaches mainly rely on oversimplified models that use adjustable parameters to fit experimental results, limiting their applicability. RENOIR aims to convert this challenge into the opportunity to realise the great potential of RIXS to determine EPC in quantum materials. RENOIR will develop a novel parameter-free methodology to calculate RIXS spectra, combining accurate and reliable approaches, such as the Bethe-Salpeter Equation within Green’s functions theory for excitons, and Density Functional Perturbation Theory for phonons. As a primary application, RENOIR will focus on high-temperature superconducting materials and heterostructures, celebrated for their transformative power in electronics and energy applications. Moreover, the resulting software will be made freely available to a very wide community, opening the way for understanding and predicting RIXS measurements of EPC in many other materials.

The ultimate objective of PLAS-PHOLED is to increase tenfold the operational lifetime and luminance of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). I will achieve this by increasing the radiative rate of triplet states through the design and engineering of PHOLEDs that support plasmon–exciton polaritons (PEPs). PEPs were recently introduced by Prof. Forrest's group as a promising technology for increasing Purcell enhancement in the OLED stack . PEPs effectiveness in OLEDs is sensitive to the optical properties of the underlying microcavity effects which I plan to exploit to reduce the probability of forming destructive high-energy states via triplet–polaron and triplet-exciton collisions. PLAS-PHOLED will study OLEDs that emit from visible (blue, green and red) to near-infrared (NIR) regimes. While PLAS-PHOLED kicks off by studying organometallic complexes that will enable me to deeply understand the device parameters that best support PEP, it later extends to purely organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials. The latter is the key novelty of PLAS-PHOLED as it will enable the RTP compounds to reach microsecond radiative rates, matching those to organometallic counterparts, thus introducing the 5th generation of environmentally friendly and inexpensive OLEDs. For the first time, the results of this proposal will define the state-of-the-art in understanding NIR and RTP OLEDs coupled with microcavity to enhance their emission rate, outcoupling, and operational stability.
