The European Commission’s policy framework (i.e., Clean Energy Package, FiT 55) seeks to decarbonise the energy system, encouraging the electrification of heat and transport, as well as the connection of more clean but intermittent generation. Electricity markets and smart grid digitalization should proceed very fast to enable the fulfillment of these targets, incentivizing energy consumers and maximizing the use of assets from different energy consumption sectors (i.e., electricity, water, heating, cooling, mobility) in order to fully exploit the flexibility services. ENFLATE project will build upon existing solutions on data drivel energy services and non-energy services, and replicate them in different geographies, climate and consumer needs. It will propose applicable consumer-centered flexibility platforms and test them in Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland engaging local consumers, TSOs, DSOs, market operators, regulatory authorities, service providers, manufacturers, academia. It will provide smart grid innovative technologies, peer-to-peer market platforms for consumers, smart building and local community cross vector flexibility services, integration of consumer centered flexibility with pan European spot markets. Efficient business models will be developed and tested, combing energy services with health and mobility services. The developed ENFLATE project will be interoperable with existing data platforms in Horizon 2020, like ONENET, CoordiNET, SmartNet and INTERRFACE, leveraging the benefits of data exchange and adaptive middleware architectures. ENFLATE will evaluate the impact of the proposed multi-vector flexibility services to local, regional and pan European level.

The role of urban forests in local ecosystems has been widely acknowledged with their benefits ranging from leisure to climate change mitigation. However, with the growing intensity of windstorms affecting Europe and the increasing risk of tree fall, afforestation might become a part of the problem it attempts to solve: damage caused by meteorological events. Parallel to this, tree cutting might elicit a mixed response from the public, further exacerbated by misinformation. Hence, the aim of the TREESURE project is to provide decision support system for tree health monitoring, co-created and co-designed by the array of local stakeholders (risk managers, practitioners, local authorities and associations) representing different pedoclimatic zones across Europe for improved coordination and more tailored responses at the local level increasing resilience to natural disasters. To tackle this challenge, the TREESURE project offers the decision-support system, which will combine the satellite data coming from ESA with the data collected by the IoT sensors. Nature based solutions as root-anchoring systems will be its key feature. Deployment of this system in 3 different geographies will be preceded by in-depth case study requirement analysis, involving social, environmental and technical aspects. Key stakeholders will be engaged from the very outset of the project, starting with tabletop games. Their ownership of the TREESURE solutions will be increased by them taking part in assessment of the dashboard and app prototype and co-creating the user guidelines and policy toolbox. Ultimately, the key stakeholders will take part in the scenario testing, highlighting the importance of early warning, damage control and misinformation. This is expected to increase their engagement on par with targeted dissemination activities. The sustainability and economic viability of the TREESURE solution will be ensured by implementing environmental and economic indicators with a LCA approach.

The number of battery-powered electric vehicles is expected to be at 30-40 million by 2030 in the EU. This strong increase of electric vehicles is a big challenge for the energy system in Europe, but at the same time a chance to use V1G/V2G/V2X-technologies. As vehicles are mainly parking, they can be used as energy storage in order to increase grid stability. The overall project objective is to optimize the entire charging chain - from energy provision to the end user - to create a clear benefit for all stakeholders. Therefore, a ubiquitous on-demand charging solution based on an optimized charging network considering human, technical and economic factors along the entire charging chain shall be developed. The investigation of the user behavior as well as the analysis of the energy system and grid will form the basis from a research side, to predict the future behavior of EV owners and fleet operators as well as possible shortcomings in the electric grid and energy system. The development of advanced charging technologies and control mechanisms as well as advanced charging and sector coupling concepts, will form the basis for the virtual and real evalulations/demonstrations conducted in 4 different European countries (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal). In parallel a smart charging simulation environment (digital twin of the charging chain with a holistic simulation environment with multilevel component models and representative information flow between all agents) will be built up. This digital twin will incorporate the results of the demonstration actions and enable an upscaling to show the impact of these technologies. To ensure the interoperability and the optimization along this charging chain, the consortium comprises all relevant partners/stakeholders (energy providers, grid operators, charge point operator, EV equipment providers as well a vehicle manufacturer).

AMBROSIA aims to transform the European approach to food safety in view of the impacts of climate change. It will enable for the first time a holistic systemic approach to food safety risk assessment across the supply chain in view of climate change models with the use of digital technologies including AI. Bridging the knowledge of agrifood and climate modelling and forecasting scientists and experts in food predictive microbiology and risk assessment, AMBROSIA will make possible the modelling of climate change risks (individual and cumulative) and their impact on food safety from farm to fork in 4 major biogeographical regions within Europe (Atlantic, Boreal, Continental and Mediterranean) as well as the prediction of likely novel sources of risk and hazards across key food groups consumed by EU citizens. First the project will develop a tailor made holistic Risk Assessment methodological framework for the study of climate change impact on food safety. The use of spatio-temporal climate model projections will be integrated with models of food safety hazards to enable the development of detailed predictive models. Then a digital platform will be developed and deployed for the integration of climate model projections with food safety data for the purposes of prediction and monitoring of food safety risks and hazards emanating from climate change events or processes, as well as for the communication of mitigation/adaptation measures. Extensive use will be made of a variety of data sources to enable the use of AI techniques (deep learning for predictive modelling) to be fully used in the food safety domain. The project will focus on Fusarium mycotoxins, a recognised hazard from grains (wheat, oat, barley, corn) and derived products, and enteric pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli) in fresh produce (vegetables and salads). Using a multi-actor approach, AMBROSIA will raise awareness, and provide strategic advice on mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Recent years have seen previously largely unnoticed groups—frontline health workers, workers along global supply chains, victims of sexual abuse, people who subscribe to outlandish conspiracy theories—suddenly appearing in the limelight. This project takes a step back and documents the processes through which some people come to be unnoticed in the first place. NOTREALLYTHERE aims to transform sociologist Erving Goffman’s well-known but undertheorized concept of “non-person” into a fresh field of interdisciplinary inquiry. The project will interrogate being NOTREALLYTHERE as a representational effect, an interactional achievement, a particular subject position, and an affordance: a feature of life that facilitates some actions, feelings, thoughts, and identities, and that encumbers or blocks others. It is informed by Foucauldian-inspired theories about how discursive arrangements distribute and influence perception and attention. But it will complicate those theories and bridge a gap in the literature by conducting detailed case studies, comparing people who frequently are rendered NOTREALLYTHERE against their will or desire (such as migrants or refugees), and others (such as simultaneous interpreters, or artists who intentionally hide their identity), who reap professional rewards, or gain greater freedoms, by consciously doing their best to be NOTREALLYTHERE. The project examines the axis of perceptibility/imperceptibility, and will document how it is established and contested, by whom, how it matters, and why. It explores the concrete ways in which being NOTREALLYTHERE can be a strategy of power and a tactic of resistance. But it also will document where and how such perspectives fall short and require revision. Examining willed and unwilled dimensions of being NOTREALLYTHERE in the same framework will lay the foundations for a new field of inquiry that synthesizes research on agnotology (ignorance), visuality, silencing, and social interaction.

Most women will transition to menopause, but no two experiences are the same. While some women embrace the end of their reproductive years, many others struggle with the broad system level changes that first emerge during perimenopause; the years leading up to the final menstrual period. Up to 80% of women will experience debilitating symptoms during perimenopause which are largely neurological in nature, including vasomotor symptoms (i.e., hot flashes and night sweats), as well as mood, sleep, and cognitive disturbances. The presence and severity of perimenopausal symptoms have been proposed as warning signs for an increased risk of neurodegenerative disease later in life. Yet, women’s brain health is historically understudied, and current knowledge about the brain during perimenopause is largely based on animal work or underpowered cross-sectional human studies, often comparing women pre- and post-menopause without capturing the transition period. The objective of MappingPerimenopause is to close this critical knowledge gap by mapping the effects of perimenopause on the female brain in unprecedented detail and in a well-powered sample. I propose a multi-level investigation that will provide a mechanistic understanding of the in-vivo temporal dynamics of the female brain across perimenopause and contributing factors. I will test the main hypothesis that how women experience perimenopause matters for their brain and mental health. This will be achieved by the use of big data and by adopting an accelerated longitudinal multi-modal neuroimaging design, following women during their perimenopausal years, together with the rich assessment of biological measures, cognitive and mood symptom profiles, and psychosocial factors. By combining big data mining and comprehensive phenotyping, MappingPerimenopause is a pioneering effort with the potential to transform our understanding of the well-being and brain health of women navigating this critical transitional phase.

Forests cover a third of the vegetated surface of the Earth and interact with global climate. These interactions are being altered by human activities at an unprecedented scale, both in their rate and in their geographical extent. At present, Earth system models (ESMs) struggle to predict how these climate-vegetation interactions will evolve in the future because of varied responses of the carbon cycle in their Land Surface Models (LSMs). This long-standing issue leads to widely varying atmospheric CO2 concentrations and hence varying climate projections under the same scenarios. LSM projections of forest biomass and carbon balance increasingly diverge over longer periods, thus limiting confidence in future climate projections. The goal of this proposal is to develop a new cross-disciplinary framework to constrain climate projections by jointly improving the simulation of forest growth and water use efficiency (WUE; the ratio of photosynthesis to transpiration) at long time scales (decades to century) using novel observational standards for historical growth and physiology derived from tree-ring data. The following three objectives are addressed: (1) advance the mechanistic representation of tree-ring growth and stable isotopes in the global LSM ORCHIDEE, the terrestrial component of the IPSL ESM; (2) use tree-ring data together with eddy covariance flux measurements to improve the capability of the model to simulate the effects of changing climate, CO2 and nitrogen on forest growth and WUE; (3) provide the first climate simulations until 2100 constrained by historical forest responses. The constrained projections will reduce uncertainties on the feedbacks of altered tree growth and physiology on climate. The proposed work will bring into Earth System modelling decades of advances made by dendrochronologists around the world, providing at last a critical long-term constraint for the land surface modelling community as ice-cores are for global circulation models.
