The AMBER consortium has been assembled for the exploitation and development of large-scale European infrastructures to address key needs for biological imaging. This covers length scales from molecular, through cellular, to tissue, organ and organism levels of organisation. AMBER brings together four research centres and three large scale research infrastructures with a wide range of competence including clinical practitioners, biological and biomedical scientists, physical scientists, and facility/infrastructure experts. We exploit an ongoing convergence in the scientific landscape in terms of European central facility development, data management, and data analysis and interpretation, coupled with the explosive growth in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches. It is hard to imagine a time for which there has been a bigger need to bring together communities from different fields in an adaptive and progressive way. In addition to the gaps of knowledge that exist between different levels of organisation (e.g., between molecular and cellular levels), there are also major gaps in scientific culture – for example between clinical and fundamental science. AMBER will create fellows with unprecedented medical, biological, and methodological capabilities, with a profound potential impact for Europe’s next generation of research and researchers. This 5-year programme will recruit 42 post-doctoral research fellows, in three calls of 14 fellows each, with each fellowship of 36-month duration. Work will include technique development, particularly in terms of combining imaging techniques and data to provide a more integrated picture of life processes in the context of health & disease. Fellows that have completed this programme will be extraordinarily well equipped to further their career in academia, at infrastructures, in the health and MedTech sectors, and beyond.

“A life free of violence is a basic human right” (WHO 2013). Yet one in three women in the EU has experienced physical and/or sexual violence since age 15, with the perpetrator often her (ex-)partner. Ending gender-based and domestic violence is one of society’s greatest challenges and a top priority of the European Commission as reflected in its Gender Equality Strategy 2020-25. The question is how. WomEmpower is an interdisciplinary study adopting a comprehensive ecological framework (Heise 1998, 2011) to examine the impact of household, community and structural factors on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). WomEmpower will estimate causally the effect of (1) motherhood, (2) gender norms and (3) cash transfers to working women on the risk of victimization of women in the EU by their (ex-)partners and then identify the underlying mechanisms at work. Three challenges emerge: How to measure IPV? How to measure gender norms? How to identify causality? First, WomEmpower utilizes novel and unique “big data” sources and state-of-the-art quantitative methods to provide a radically new perspective on the protective and risk factors for the incidence and severity of IPV by estimating the link between IPV and motherhood and its underlying mechanisms using population-level administrative longitudinal data instead of the small-sample administrative data obtained from hospitals, the police, family counselling or shelters. Second, WomEmpower uses quasi-experimental techniques to estimate causally the role of gender norms on (1) IPV, (2) women’s experiences of gender-based discrimination and (3) women’s and men’s attitudes about hegemonic masculine norms. Third, WomEmpower will determine whether cash transfers to vulnerable women may prevent domestic violence in high-income countries and why. This comprehensive evidence-based research identifying the causal factors of IPV is crucial for the long-term goal of improving the health and well-being of women and their children in Europe.

WEALTHTRAJECT is the first project to comprehensively and systematically examine diversity in long-term trajectories of wealth accumulation within and between social groups. Wealth inequality is on the rise in many affluent societies. It is time to move beyond prevailing static snapshots of average wealth inequality between people to understand this trend. Instead, a dynamic perspective on wealth changes experienced by people over their lifetimes is needed. This dynamic perspective reveals how diverse the trajectories of wealth accumulation are, i.e., the degree of trajectory variability. WEALTHTRAJECT integrates disconnected strands of literature to study how variability in trajectories emerges over time through the interplay of saving and spending of income, receipt of transfers from parents and other family members, and (de-)investment in (un-)profitable assets. WEALTHTRAJECT addresses four main innovative objectives: (i) to document variability in wealth trajectories over people's lives; (ii) to identify intragenerational drivers of variability in wealth trajectories; (iii) to establish the intergenerational relationships between family background and wealth trajectories; (iv) to collect novel life history data on wealth accumulation trajectories. To address these objectives, WEALTHTRAJECT innovates by adopting a novel approach emphasising the diverse patterns of wealth gains and losses in people's lives. The project challenges the prevalent idea of a uniform hump-shaped life cycle accumulation pattern in wealth. WEALTHTRAJECT breaks new ground by combining longitudinal data from surveys and registers and original life history data on wealth that, for the first time, allow the mapping of wealth trajectories over extended periods of people's lives. Advanced quantitative methods are applied to leverage the untapped potential of these data. WEALTHTRAJECT lays the foundations for a new understanding of wealth inequality to inform relevant social policies.

Although silicon has been the defining material of classical information processing, it is currently not the main material advanced for quantum information processing. It would however be very compelling to leverage the existing multibillion euro silicon infrastructure. Silicon spin qubits have already been shown to have excellent single-qubit properties, combining long coherence times with high-fidelity readout and control. The reason silicon qubits are not yet seen as a mainstream platform for quantum computing is mainly due to the lack of convenient coupling and readout mechanisms that could be used to scale-up to practical level. This proposal addresses both deficiencies and aims to enable a long-term future for donor spin qubits in silicon in Europe, for both quantum processing and quantum sensing applications. This project will provide a scalable solution for all the important aspects of a quantum platform: control and readout, spin-spin coupling, and routing quantum information on-chip. In parallel, we will advance the needed material science methods, concentrating especially on deterministic single-ion doping, isotopical purification and strain tuning of silicon. The end product of the project will be a complete quantum information platform including qubits, interconnects and scalable control and readout electronics. The platform will be based on embedded atomic spins as qubits, phonons as interconnects and gate defined quantum dots with on-chip multiplexing and amplification as readout devices. The project will bring together the relevant parties in Europe into a collaboration that will form a new hub for donor spin-based silicon quantum computing. The created network will span focused ion beam based single-ion implantation and isotopic purification facilities, semi-commercial silicon foundries, start-up companies working on silicon quantum dots and research groups researching silicon spin quantum computing and quantum acoustics.

In South America (SA), droughts and heat extremes can have devastating impacts, in particular for agriculture and urban areaIn South America (SA), droughts and heat extremes can have devastating impacts, in particular for agriculture and urban areas. Currently, effective adaptation is yet often not possible because near term (seasonal-to-decadal) predictions produced by climate models are highly uncertain. Achieving progress on these critical time-scales is particularly difficult due to a lack of understanding of the combined role of thermodynamic changes and changes in large-scale circulation which can be forced or due to natural variability. To address this, I will combine storyline approaches with causal inference and climate modeling to provide a comprehensive storyline description of plausible near term changes in the Southern Hemisphere large-scale circulation and the associated regional drought and heat extreme impacts in SA. These storylines will be targeted to inform agriculture and urban adaptation and will be strongly grounded on physical process understanding. Open access data and code to allow flexible adaptation of the methodology to other regions of the SH will be provided. The expected outcomes of this activity include high-impact publications, delivery of policy-relevant information to key stakeholders in South America, open access data and code and educational/computational resources for climate service providers. Throughout this activity, I will broaden my research scope and skills, gain training in leadership roles and strengthen my scientific network. This will make me a very competitive candidate for independent research positions in physical climate science and interdisciplinary climate adaptation initiatives. Overall, the initiative will impact our understanding of the Southern Hemisphere near term changes and regional impacts, which is critical for the socio-ecological adaptation of the Global South thus contributing to climate justice.

Individuals with mental health (MH) conditions and their families, especially those with highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), are exposed to high levels of discrimination and stigma, which significantly affects their physical and mental well-being. Our world-leading collaborative group at the forefront of research in NDDs will launch a new project - ?Risk, Resilience and Developmental Diversity in Mental Health? (R2D2-MH). We propose a double paradigm shift to improve the wellbeing of people with MH conditions and their families. We will move (i) from risk-focused studies towards understanding and promoting resilience, and (ii) from a diagnosis-based approach to a developmental diversity approach that will define wellbeing and functioning across the human lifespan. R2D2-MH aims to identify genetic and environmental protective/resilience factors and how they influence developmental diversity and MH. We will investigate at multiple levels two highly prevalent early risks for MH conditions: prematurity and genetic liability for NDDs. Our project has four main ambitions 1. Provide the largest European multi-scale dataset on early human brain development and MH outcomes; 2 Identify biological mechanisms of resilience to the adverse effects of NDD; 3. Co-develop, with the stakeholders, new digital tools to increase participatory research/medicine and reduce stigma; 4. Establish predictive models to guide personalised interventions. R2D2-MH integrates interdisciplinary and complementary expertise across Europe, Israel, and Australia that covers ethics, epidemiology, sociology, genetics, cell biology, neuroscience, computational modelling, Information Technology, psychology, and psychiatry. Our research is highly engaged: it embeds participant and patient involvement in research to ensure that our expected outcomes are truly translational, and will help to reduce stigma and burden for individuals with MH conditions.

The EU aims to promote common values and beliefs among members. Classic research establishes parents as the main role models for such transmission. However, children today learn values from new role models, such as social media influencers (SMIs), users who share content to acquire followers. The project will construct a comprehensive value transmission theory applicable across contexts and adapted to the digital age. It will define essential value transmission aspects: source, channel, message, receivers. The source studied will be mothers and SMIs. The channel will be conversations and online exchange of content and engagement. The message will be a set of values motivating prosocial behavior, including but not limited to moral values, and the balance among them. Explicit and implicit messages will require varying processing systems. Child and adolescent receivers will be active partners, choosing, negotiating, and transmitting values. I will investigate value transmission practices used by interaction partners to convey messages; I will test the effectiveness of practices in promoting value similarity, moral reasoning and prosocial behavior; Finally, I will examine interactions between mothers’ and SMIs’ value transmission processes. In 7 studies, I will (1) longitudinally study mother-child conversations on prosocial behavior in daily life and in social media. Conversations will be analyzed thematically, longitudinally across 2 years, and moment-to-moment; (2) analyze values in SMI content and investigate their relations with follower engagement, applying manual and artificial intelligence coding; (3) Last, I will experimentally test the effectiveness of value transmission practices, including cases of source disagreement. The project sets the stage for research into value transmission across contexts and cultures, broadens understanding of the role of family and social media in development, and creates a new standard for research methods in child development.
