This project will perform a realist analysis of emergency politics. More specifically, it will give a realist account of what states of emergency reveal about the nature of political legitimacy. This will be achieved through a mixture of history of political theory, critical analysis of competing recent approaches to emergency, and an empirical study of the political crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At present, political realists controversially argue that emergency politics expose how liberal theories of legitimacy are excessively divorced from reality. Their argument, however, remains underdeveloped in three key respects. In the first place, they seek to ground their claims in a broadly Nietzschean worldview, yet they do so in a manner that conspicuously jars with what Nietzsche himself writes about situations of emergency. Second, the realist literature fails to critically engage with recent liberal theories of emergency (and vice versa). Finally, realists neglect a wealth of relevant literature in jurisprudence, which has not yet been brought to bear on the debate in political theory. By addressing each of these lacunae, this interdisciplinary project will formulate a robust realist theory of emergency, one that will then be empirically applied to the states of emergency declared in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the project will be published in the form of a monograph.

GAIN-TMD targets the engineering of pi-magnetic nanostructures on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) via on-surface synthesis (OSS) approaches. Molecular-based qubit systems have immense potential to overcome the problems of decoherence and limited scalability with the present-day solid-state qubits. Realizing π-magnetic molecules and their extended nanostructures through OSS provides the tools to create and control molecular qubits at the atomic level. Among these, atomically precise synthesis of triangulene-based nanostructures is the most successful and has received extensive attention, becoming a model system for studying the exotic electronic and magnetic properties of pi-magnetic nanostructures. However, the limited available chemical reactions and reliance on metal substrates in the current OSS approaches restrict their prototypical studies, raising an urgent demand to develop new reaction strategies and the use of non-metallic substrates for expanding future applications. In this project, I propose engineering pi-magnetic nanostructures on TMDs by designing a new reaction strategy via OSS. By integrating theoretical calculations (Density Functional Theory) and experimental studies (Scanning Probe Microscopy), I will initiate the cycloaddition reaction of alkynyl and methyl groups under mild conditions and reveal the novel properties of synthesized triangulene-based structures on TMDs. These studies will create new opportunities for understanding spin-dependent phenomena in open-shell nanostructures on substrates with versatile electronic properties - facilitating their prototypical studies. This project combines expertise in theoretical computation, surface chemistry, and material physics from the host and the applicant. Moreover, it will allow me to become an independent scientist through the achievement of well-defined scientific objectives and the development of managerial and outreach skills, preparing me for a leading position in academia.

Polymers are one of the most used materials in different applications, especially in consumer goods like electronics, and the consumption is only expected to rise globally. In Europe, 25,8 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated annually and less than 30 % is collected for recycling and significant shares are exported from EU to be treated elsewhere. Landfilling (31 %) and incineration (39 %) of plastics is high (together 70 %), and by these treatment options the valuable materials are lost from circulation. It is estimated that 95 % of the value of plastic packaging material, between 70-105 billion EUR, is lost annually to the economy after a very short first-use cycle. The industry is lacking standards and main barriers for efficient uptake of recyclates are due to safety concerns, low quality, and recycling rates. PRIMUS activities will increase the resilience of EU's plastic value chains by securing supply of waste plastics as feedstock and increasing its availability through connecting value chain actors, developing methods to control quality, sampling, and analysis, and improving upgrading knowhow and characterize suitability towards added-value products. PRIMUS will prove legislative compliant, privacy-preserving, cost-efficient and feasible technological pathways for tapping into non-recycled or underutilized plastic waste streams. Validated business cases will lower the risks of future investments into European manufacturing capacity. PRIMUS will address one of the core challenges identified in the EU Circular Economy Action Plan, the presence of hazardous substances (brominated flame retardants) and how to effectively and safely debrominate the waste streams for new product use. PRIMUS will contribute to circulating underutilised or non-recycled streams and create further impact by supporting additional production of 0,2 Mtonnes of rHIPS, rPC/ABS, rEPDM and rTPE, which is approximately 6 % of the expected growth of European recyclate market 2018-2024.

Water and aqueous solutions release a huge amount of thermal energy during freezing. Accessing energy utilizing the freezing process has never been attempted until today. It is known that orderly freezing of dilute aqueous solutions can result in electrical potentials as great as 230 volts at the ice-solution interface, namely the Workman-Reynolds freezing potential (WRFP), and a maximal electrical current of 1 µA. Based on our newly published results of counter ion separation during icing growth in ionic liquids, this project aims to combine high-throughput computing and nanotechnology for probing the approach of controlling and utilizing stable WRFPs and for the first time to enable energy exploration in the freezing process of aqueous solutions. Specifically, ionic liquids will be screened for maximizing WRFP and electrical energy output via atomistic modeling and multiscale experiments. Critical parameters for WRFP, including ion concentration, temperature and freezing rate, will be investigated for their effects in electrical energy generation. Novel electrical energy output based on WRFP will be constructed and tested, which will seed an entirely new green energy acquisition research and application field. The project, termed Icevoltaics, explores an un-touched energy source and provides highly innovative solutions of the future and clean energy.

The objective of this project is to study energy procurement practices and its relationship with environmental, economic, and social sustainability. To do so, we aim to carry out ethnoarchaeological fieldwork regarding fuel-related practices among the Vedda indigenous communities in Sri Lanka. In parallel, we will develop archaeobotanical research to interrogate these questions in prehistoric and early historical periods of the island. The building of a wood reference collection will be key and will boost the development of proper charcoal analyses. The results of this research will be integrated to create an educational resource for museums, botanical gardens and schools, with the aim to bring the study of humans and plants interactions to the general public. This project requires f different methodologies, whose field of expertise, facilities and knowledge are shared between academic and non-academic organizations in France, Spain, and Sri Lanka. For the successful development of the project, we involve 21 persons with different categories (PhD students, postdoctoral and senior researchers, technicians, and members of non-academic organizations) developing a total of 64 months of secondments in the institutions involved. This project will set up the basis for sustainable collaboration between academic institutions working on archaeological charcoal and ethnoarchaeology of fuel, and non-academic institutions engaged in educational resources on ethnobotany and the diversity of human uses of plants. The project is organized in 5 packages including four objectives and the management and dissemination of the project. The research will be carried out through long-term secondments by PhD students and shorter secondments by senior researchers and non-academic members. This project will provide scientific impact by delivering training and resources for the study of charcoal remains and socio and economic impact throughout the production of an educational resource.

Afro-Baloch (AfB) refers to the people of African origin in Balochistan who were enslaved people and brought as slaves from Eastern Africa. AfB are not officially slaves, but, in practice, they are still treated as enslaved people and they are given away as gifts instead of sold. Lullabies are relevant for the study of AfB communities and particularly in the context of slavery and a society formed on a caste system. AfB adapted the Balochi language- an Iranian language belonging to the Indo-European family. The study and analysis of lullabies will open important perspectives on the linguistic of AfB, the history of the people, their oral traditions of slavery, and the social and culture of the south- eastern Iranian coastal region. The aim of the proposed project is to explore the AfB history, their current status and also the social and cultural conditions that determine their life as manifested in lullabies. Lullabies are used because they represent a special genre which is very different from other text types and understudied. The present project undertakes for the first time a systematic documentation and description of such songs. The proposed project will focus on seven regions along the coast, viz. Pishin, Bahukalat, Sedighzaei, Tis, Konarak, Kahir, and Karevan. In each region, the applicant will record and videotape lullabies of AfB women and document the cultural and social contexts. In the second step, songs will be transcribed and double-checked with the speakers, and translated into English. In the third step, the songs will be annotated and glossed them into morphemes and build online corpora. In the fourth step, the contents of the songs will be analyzed, particularly their forms, functions, themes, and motifs. Finally, the project result will be published and recordings be archived and open access.The project will be implemented in CNRS (The French National Centre for Scientific Research) institution under the supervision of Dr habil.

SETO will deliver an innovative digital solution that will allow authorities to access all information required for the smart enforcement of transport and safety legislation in real-time using the ‘one-click’ principle. This will address the significant challenge of handling unstructured transport data from different streams (paper and digital), sources, and languages, reducing the administrative burden/time while achieving increased control efficiency and consistency. SETO will utilise state-of-the-art information exchange technologies and expand the system to multimodal transport (e.g. port to the inland waterway to the road). The project will validate its comprehensive ecosystem technically and economically in a Pilot Living Lab designed for future pan-European scaling. In particular, SETO will develop innovative technologies for direct enforcement of overloaded road vehicles using weigh-in-motion (WIM) and on-board weighing solutions. The project will also introduce technologies based on enhanced global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to enforce lane positioning and cabotage regulations. Our deployment of the connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) technologies will allow SETO to estimate the carbon footprint of the transported goods, leading to effective policies concerning their import and export. Moreover, the project will explore different business models and build a business case for both the operators and the authorities to utilise SETO's unified system of information exchange. SETO will address the inclusion of different stakeholders and their under-represented groups (e.g. self-employed or foreign drivers, small SME's, women in transportation) in its activities to characterise the social practices emerging from enforcing such digital tracking systems. SETO seeks to foster the collective intelligence of all stakeholders to build a viable system based on "incentives" rather than forcing its adoption.

The rising concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, currently about 420 ppm, is already causing extensive damage globally. Thus, there´s an urgent need to deploy CO2 removal (CDR) at very large scale to help to keep the temperature rise under 2C° (1.5C° would be better). Until recently, apart from academic research into a wide portfolio of approaches, little has been done to launch the necessary exponential growth of CDR over the next few decades. The current self-regulated market relies on an unsatisfactory patchwork of third-party verification of the removals achieved at individual sites. The sector has been negatively influenced by a lack of regulation and high-quality standards. This has allowed low-quality carbon credits to enter the market, lowering credibility and prices to levels at which high-quality permanent removals cannot compete. The Member States need the EC to intervene to kick-start a transparent and properly regulated market for high-grade CDR delivery. The purpose of the C-SINK project is to deliver to the EC a complete package of worked-up proposals to support a new or amended European legal/regulatory framework to bring high quality CDRs into the market. That package will contain pre-standards (in CEN format) covering requirements and methodologies for sampling, testing and QMS (ISO9000) upon which to build monitoring, reporting and verification systems. It will also include proposals to cover (a) environmental, social-impact and governance issues, and (b) the means of building trust in the market. This will encourage entrepreneurs to demonstrate effective and safe CDR projects and to make large investments, thus allowing the market to evolve to tackle the climate crisis. The C-SINK consortium includes organizations from 11 countries with complementary skills and expertise in the different CDR technologies, the writing of CEN and ISO standards, climate law, carbon trading, and in all of the relevant environmental and social issues.
