MUSDEWAR will investigate the use of music in Greek prison camps in the (post) civil-war era (1947-1957). Despite a recent shift in musicology, which has begun to address music’s potential to damage subjectivity, there are still major gaps in the history of music’s use in mass detention camps. Contributing to the wider history of detention camps in the twentieth century, MUSDEWAR will fill this gap by critically examining: (1) the use of music as a means to ‘re-educate’, punish, humiliate and ‘break’ prisoners; (2) ‘performance under orders’: official camp orchestras and choirs; (3) music compositions, performances, and debates on Greek music by intellectuals-detainees. Analysing these aspects will combine historical and empirical research with a critical and theoretical framework. The project will document and reconstruct the use of music and musical life in the camps through archival and textual research, and interviews with former detainees, composers and intellectuals of the time. An interdisciplinary framework will be developed to analyse and interpret research findings, using tools from musicology, history, social anthropology, philosophy, trauma studies and critical theory. MUSDEWAR will deliver a monograph to a major international academic publisher. Moving beyond the humanistic notion of music as an inherently enlightening art, the monograph will synthesize research into an empirically rich and theoretically grounded account of the multifaceted use of music in the Greek camps. Intermediate aims include a project website and two articles to peer-reviewed journals. Actions for networking and knowledge transfer include research presentations, a workshop, a public outreach event (symposium, exhibition), projects in secondary schools, and a proposal for a European Research Council Starting Grant. Results will contribute directly to trans-national public debates about human rights and current forms of detention, particularly with regard to mass asylum seeking in the European Union.

The project Transcultural Perspectives in Art and Art Education (TPAAE) aims to investigate contemporary art in Europe and East Africa, and forms of art education on both continents in transcultural perspective. Innovative in our approach will be setting up the theoretical and practical dialogue, recognizing mutual artistic and cultural influences between Europe and East Africa since times of Great Avant-garde until contemporary globalization; in the same time valuing cultural heritage and opening it for modern transformations for the sake of community and social development. The profound research in transcultural perspectives on art and art education will be realized within the TPAAE project by the Consortium containing academic and non-academic institutions from Poland, Italy, and Kenya. International and intersectoral mobility guarantees high level and effective sharing of knowledge. All the institutions investigate art, culture and cultural heritage and have various complementing each other competences, allowing for research and implementation of its effects into practice. Transcultural perspective is the response to the three main strategies for the reduction of otherness developed due to globalization: egocentrism, logocentrism and ethnocentrism, and is essential, today more than ever, to persuade individuals to appreciate cultural diversity and to recognize the importance of defending and promoting tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The TPAAE project will develop according to three lines, each having its specific goals: 1) theoretical - researching on relations between East African and European art, 2) academic - elaborating and implementing the programme in Fine Arts and Design at PUC in dialogue with European institutions, and 3) practical - supporting the development of art scene in the region in Kenya.

Within the last years, the consumer’s trends have massively been turning away from artificial and petrochemical additives in favour of natural equivalents considered as healthier and eco-friendlier. In this context, facing traditional methods such as chemical synthesis (requiring toxic products and energy craving) or extraction from natural sources (usually at high cost, with high social/environmental toll), biocatalytic routes are intensively studied as alternative for the synthesis of molecules. Biocatalytic processes, that use natural catalysts such as enzymes or microorganisms, are considered as the most promising way to produce numerous chemicals. Nevertheless, due to several technical and financial intrinsic barriers, biocatalysis struggles to go out from laboratories and conquer the century-old chemical industry outside of the high added-value pharmaceuticals field. Since its creation in 2003, the spirit of NATURAMOLE, technology-driven biotechnology company, has been to address the need for eco-friendly products and processes by the formulation industry. Coupling a R&D platform and a demonstration plant, our project, called the Green Factory, aims at leveraging 15 years of successful R&D on enzymatic esterification and its industrialisation to broaden the scope of application of our novel biotechnologies towards new target markets with higher volumes and lower prices. Through our unique enzymatic technology, we propose to accelerate the industrial transition from polluting chemistry to a more sustainable model conciliating cost-efficiency and environmental performance. Today, NATURAMOLE presents a consolidated commercialisation roadmap to address the needs of the flavours and fragrances industries. With Green Factory, we expect to expand the scope of biocatalytic technologies to other markets, starting with natural cosmetics and ecological lubricants, and reach over a 6-year period a cumulated net income of € 31.7 million.

Metal oxides are a versatile group of semiconductors that are employed in a broad range of applications including micro/nano-electronics, photocatalysis and thin-film devices. The strength of metal oxides for these contemporary applications resides in the diversity of the electronic and optical properties which determine energy-level alignment and consequently dictate device performance. Furthermore, metal oxides exhibit a sensitivity to stoichiometry, unique among semiconductors, that permits fine-tuning of these properties. This feature offers an elegant yet simple method for additional performance optimisation. However, it requires a deep understanding of the relationship between the stoichiometry of metal oxide compounds and the aforementioned properties that is currently lacking. In this proposal we will fabricate metal oxides with a spatial gradient in chemical composition and characterise the optical, electrical and chemical properties with high-throughput scanner, at an unparalleled rate. From these results we will establish the correlation between these properties and the exact chemical composition for a multitude of compounds. In addition, a model to describe the alignment of energy-levels across metal oxide/metal oxides interfaces will be developed. The present proposal will address the disparity of reported information for metal oxide properties arising from poor chemical analysis and greatly advance the engineering capabilities of thin-film technologies. The research described here is designed to integrate seamlessly and strongly support the All Metal-Oxide Photovoltaic project under the Seven Framework Programme.

In recent years the ICT market has evolved toward a cloud-based approach. This shift together with the rapidly changing legal and regulatory landscape has heavily impacted security assurance, governance and compliance. The information security market players have tried to provide suitable solutions to cope with issues such as i) lack of means to provide higher level of assurance (e.g continuous monitoring and auditing), ii) privacy not adequately taken into account, iii) limited transparency and iv) lack of means to streamline risk management and compliance. In the certification space this has resulted in the creation of several schemas creating an additional problem, i.e. the proliferation of certification scheme. The project EU-SEC will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of existing approaches for assurance and compliance. The EU-SEC aims to create a framework under which existing, certification and assurance approaches can co-exist. The three core ideas behind the EU-SEC project are that an effective and efficient approach to trust, assurance and compliance has to: (1) balance the need of nations and business sectors to develop their specific certification schemas with the need of CSPs to reduce compliance costs (2) avoid that humans (auditors) do activities that can be performed by machines (e.g. collecting data) (3) make sure that accurate and reliable evidences/information are provided to relevant people, in a timely fashion, leveraging as much as possible automatic means. The EU-SEC framework will equip stakeholders in the ICT security ecosystem with a validated governance structure, a reference architecture, and the corresponding set of tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their current approach to security governance, risks management, assurance and compliance. The EU-SEC aims to enhancing trustworthiness and transparency in the ICT supply chain through business cases developed and piloted by industrial partners.

Regardless of the initial insult, human Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is characterised by progressive destruction of the renal parenchyma and the loss of functional nephrons. Renal fibrosis is the common end point of CKDs, the hallmark of which is the deposition of pathological matrix by myofibroblasts. The worldwide incidence of CKD has reached epidemic proportions with an estimated 10-14% of the adult population known to have CKD. A key challenge for medical planning is to better understand the mechanisms of CKD progression in order to target pharmaceutical interventions at the early stages of the disease. Semaphorins are guidance proteins which influence cellular morphology and function, and play important roles in organogenesis and disease. We found that the secreted glycoprotein SEMA3C was upregulated in two mouse models of kidney injury and in prealbuminuric stages of paediatric CKD patients. We also found that its receptor NRP1 was expressed in proliferating extracellular matrix-producing cells during CKD progression. We propose to use genetically engineered mice to investigate the function of the SEMA3C/NRP1 signalling pathway in CKD progression with three major objectives: 1. Investigate whether SEMA3C and its receptor NRP1 promote CKD progression by analysing the levels of surgically-induced renal injury in mice deficient for Sema3C and Nrp1. 2. Provide an improved mechanistic understanding of the disease by using cutting-edge technologies to unravel new signalling events promoting myofibroblast production and microvasculature rearrangement during kidney injury. 3. Assay the use of SEMA3C as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of CKD and its progression. This work will substantially contribute to our current understanding of the pathophysiology of CKD and open up new directions for the development of novel treatments targeting this disease spectrum.

The actual demand for phycocyanin is tremendous, especially in the food industry where it is used as a natural food colorant. With a world demand of over 100 metric tons, the global market is expected to continue to grow. As proof of this potential, world leaders in that field are investing several million dollars in production lines. Being authorized under the American Food and Drug administration since 2013, its production remains very artisanal worldwide and important amelioration possibilities exist at several levels. This project aims to build a demonstration plant with a progressive production capacity of 10MT of phycocyanin per year. Successful demonstration is critical in order to ensure a swift transition towards an industrial capacity. For this project, the partners (GREENSEA, MILIS, ALGAIA AND MIAL) have concluded a strategic industrial partnership with the ambition to revisit the sourcing, extraction and co-valorization of the whole algae in the frame of an industrial biorefinery concept and a business model strategy. In complement, UCD will be in charge of the Life Cycle Assessment, to undertake a comprehensive sustainability evaluation of the project. Partners will work over 48 months to find ways to innovate in their own field but always working with a collaborative objective to build a more efficient bio-based full value chain with stable products and valorization of co-products. The consortium gathers all the expertise and an economic analysis will be made as well as a life cycle assessment. A communication and dissemination plan is already established. This project will increase the competitiveness of European biomass producers and industry by supporting new jobs, growth and investment while ensuring environmental sustainability and a low environmental impact.
