The EuCARE project gathers a comprehensive multidisciplinary team of clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists, statisticians and top experts in artificial intelligence to unveil the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on key sectors of public health, as addressed by the call. The specific activities include: 1. The assessment of natural and artificial immunity to the different viral variants in health care workers with the aim of defining the cross-immunization patterns and the risk of vaccine escape, informing vaccination strategies for the general population; 2. The analysis of the clinical course and long-term follow-up of hospitalized COVID-19 patients to derive the role of different viral variants in the outcome of the infection, including post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection; 3. The definition of the best strategies to control the spread of different viral variants in schools, by comparing the outcome of diverse containment and prevention measures in relation to the prevalence and dynamics of the variants. To ensure a suitable representativeness of the different variants, vaccines and preventive measures, EuCARE has secured the appropriate cohorts from diverse geographic areas including European countries, Kenya, Mexico, Russia and Vietnam, and will consolidate or expand interactions with other cohorts. To deal with complex interactions among many variables, including large dimensional parameters, EuCARE harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to define the role of viral variants and inform clinical guidelines and prevention measures. In the longer-term, EuCARE is committed to maintain active cooperation beyond the duration of the project with a dedicated task in the project. The solid IT and ethics infrastructure and the harmonised research procedures will make the cohort and laboratory network rapidly available to tackle newly emerging infectious diseases, thus contributing to pandemic preparedness on a global scale.

Materrup developed low-carbon clay-based cement and concrete. Its economic model relies on sobriety thanks to: - A technological platform that uses raw clays to make performant cements. 6 patents protect this breakthrough innovation. - An energy-efficient industrial process that relies on electrical and solar energy. - A local distribution scheme to reduce transport between the extraction of the raw material i.e., clay, and its transformation in to concrete. Since Feb. 2022, Materrup pilot plant has produced 100 Tons of cement for its customers. Materrup will deploy this model in large cities to turn their clay-based waste into a valuable resources. Also, Materrup collaborates with EU universities through an industrial chair. With the EIC support, Materrup will have the necessary financial resources to accelerate its go-to-market, including the deployment of 10+ SMCPs in the EU by 2030, contributing to reducing the CO2 emissions generated by the cement industry by several Mtons/yr.

Since their inception in the early 1970s, radical LGBTIQ movements and scholarship in France have developed a multi-faceted critique of normative psychoanalysis and its role in shaping public debates about gender and sexuality. Today, in light of rampant transphobic ideologies endorsed by leading French psychoanalysts, this research project responds to an urgent need to better understand the historical role of psychoanalysis in the pathologisation of LGBTIQ communities in Europe while shedding light on new approaches that embrace gender and sexual diversity. Through innovative qualitative methodologies, QueerPsych will critically examine the historical relationship between psychoanalysis, queer thought and LGBTIQ politics. Focusing on the French context, it will offer the first comprehensive study of the queer critique of psychoanalysis, bridging existing scholarship on the politics of kinship, the reception of American queer theory in Europe and queer psychoanalytic theory. By doing so, the project will offer a new comparative framework while introducing previously-untranslated French materials to Anglophone scholarship. Under the supervision of leading Gender Studies and Intellectual History scholars Eric Fassin (Université Paris 8) and Emily Apter (New York University), this project will benefit from the dual locations of its hosts to develop a comparative approach that bridges American queer theory and French intellectual history. Thanks to this Fellowship, I will acquire new methodological skills and teaching qualifications while disseminating research findings in both American and European contexts. The project’s publication plan includes four peer-reviewed articles, a monograph and various conference papers. Beyond academia, it will engage with international LGBTIQ communities, archivists, policy makers, clinical practitioners and the general public.

TITAN will develop and validate at TRL5 the direct conversion of biogas (CO2 containing rich-CH4 feedstock) into valuable carbon materials and a H2 rich stream thanks to MW Technology heated reactors. It will also consider further valorisation to power, chemicals and fuels. TITAN has the potential to produce 0.6 Mt of green H2 in 2030 to almost 4 Mt per year from 2045 on, corresponding to the saving of 237 Mt CO2 by 2045. Major innovations are linked to: (1) the efficiency of a scaled-up MW heated fluidised catalytic reactor allowing high CH4 conversion in a single pass thanks due to direct catalyst heating (avoidance of heat transfer limitation) and the avoidance of energy intensive gas separation will make the whole process energy positive, produce H2 and/or power at competitive cost while sequestrating C leading to negative GHG emissions. (2) direct conversion of biogas by simultaneous CH4 cracking and CO2 dry reforming into H2 and solid C materials. Higher H2 yield will be obtained by converting the produced CO into H2 with an additional WGS reactor allowing H2O splitting. Based on circular economy concepts, the valorisation of the C materials will be studied for two applications: 1/ soil amendment to enhance agriculture soil properties and 2/ production of SiC materials. The long-term storage of the carbon species and their microbiological impact when released into soils will be studied. The scalability of the proposed MW heated reactor technology, together with a smart downstream process, will lead to low CAPEX that shall allow the deployment of small, delocalised biogas to power units as well as large biogas to H2 and/or chemicals/fuels units in Europe. The best techno-economic solutions will be identified with respect to plant capacities and available infrastructure. While the scope of the project will focus on the valorisation of biogas, the valorisation of methane-rich mixtures will also be studied for wider impact.

The overarching objective of the SECURE-NET project is to improve the research and innovation capabilities in cybersecurity of four widening countries: Estonia, Czechia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. This objective will be achieved via enhanced cross-sectoral collaboration and the better training of R&I talents. To this end, SECURE-NET brings together 11 partners: eight organizations from widening countries (four academic, three businesses, and one governmental organization) which will be supported by three partners from the Netherlands (two academic and one business entity). SECURE-NET will: i) develop a comprehensive framework for cross-sectoral staff secondments and R&I talents’ skill development; ii) provide 31 R&I talents from partner organizations with domain-specific knowledge and transferable skills in IP and technology transfer (with 27 secondees coming from widening countries and 22 secondees being early-career researchers or in junior positions); iii) strengthen cross-sectoral and cross-border collaboration between partners; and iv) enhance the international profile and visibility of the widening partners. As a result, SECURE-NET will contribute to better employability and career prospects for R&I talents and help overcome a lack of translation of scientific results into innovations. The latter is crucial to ensure that the EU catches up with other regions in terms of innovation output. Moreover, given the significant increase in both the variety and quantity of cyberattacks and their consequences in the European Union as whole, but in Eastern and Eastern Central Europe in particular, SECURE-NET is as timely as ever and will help safeguard the smooth operation of our highly digitized societies.

The ionosphere, a layer of plasma in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, has traditionally been modelled by the International Standards Organization (ISO)-recognized International Reference Ionosphere (IRI); however, this model is made up of several sub-models, many of which have not been updated since the 50s and 70s. Since the creation of those models, our understanding of the ionosphere has evolved considerably, more diverse observations have become available, and many of the drivers, upon which these models rely, are no longer available, forcing the use of stopgap drivers whose temporary application has become more than just temporary. Here we propose to redevelop the IRI using novel empirical methods that can make use of nonlinear and indirect measurements that could not be incorporated in the IRI’s present form. We will, furthermore, include a parameterization of the climate change impacts on the ionosphere, which are now expected to have considerable impacts on the future structure of the ionosphere, and will avoid the explicit dependence of the model on driving indices that are no longer being updated. Using this model, we will here also assess the impacts of lower atmospheric forcing and climate change on the ionosphere on a global scale and characterize the implications of these results for radio and navigation systems that propagate signals through the ionospheric medium. As a member of the IRI Working Group, the PI is well positioned to ensure that the model developed here will have a clear pathway to impact. To further ensure take-up of the model, an advisory committee, made up of leading members of the IRI Working Group, ionospheric lower atmospheric coupling, and ionospheric instrument experts, has been assembled and has agreed to support the project. Furthermore, the developed model will be made Open Source and accessible in multiple coding languages.

The PI has recently developed new techniques to understand the structure of the double ramification cycle, a geometric object playing a central role in the degeneration of curves and jacobians. In this project we will use these tools and results to count algebraic curves in manifolds, and to count solutions in the rational numbers to polynomial equations. Our counts of curves will be algebraic Gromov-Witten invariants, which play a role in diverse areas including physics (where they are one of the two faces of mirror symmetry) and integrable systems (where their generating functions solve important hierarchies of PDEs). The strongest techniques currently available to understand Gromov-Witten invariants are to break the curve into simpler pieces (a cohomological field theory structure), or break the target into simpler pieces (enhancing to logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants). This project will build the theoretical foundations needed to combine these two techniques, and explore the delicate combinatorial structures of the resulting invariants. The rational solutions we count will be torsion points on abelian varieties. Abelian varieties are algebraic analogues of compact Lie groups, and play a pivotal role in diverse areas such as cryptography, coding theory, and modular and automorphic forms. The size of the torsion subgroup is one of the key invariants for the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. We will prove a formal immersion property in dimension 2. This is a major step towards the Torsion Conjecture in dimension 2, which predicts that the number of rational torsion points on abelian surfaces is uniformly bounded.

Interconnected challenges of climate change, food supply resilience, food miles, food waste and supporting the next generation of producers and operators with a fair income are all highlighted in the EU Strategic Plan. Foundational redesign of our food supply systems is required, with urgency, to address these challenges and accelerate the twin green and digital transitions. Current industrial scale food producers and processors lead to complex supply chains that are disconnected from local communities and a rebalancing toward more local supply is sought to address these challenges. The objective of FoodMAPP is to lead this transformation of food supply by enabling and promoting transparent local provision from local producers, including small scale family farmers, and processors direct to consumers. FoodMAPP will, for the first time, gather extensive market intelligence from all stakeholders including producers, processors, consumers to understand market demand and preferences towards localised food supply transparency. This underpinning research will inform the development of a dynamic searchable map-based platform enabling local providers to supply and sell produce directly to consumers. Food supply from small scale family farmers, local processors and food service operators will be included. The platform will be trialled with local communities and refined prior to full exploitation and comprehensive dissemination to stakeholders and policy makers. The project brings together a consortium of leading experts in the fields of agri-food economics, technology development, food supply chains, psychology and consumer behaviour. Four academic beneficiaries will be partnered with four industry partners with extensive networks and experience in food supply systems. Exchange between these partners will be optimised to deliver strong personal development of individuals, collective development of all beneficiaries and capacity building in this critical R&I area.
