The future of the Internet-of-things (IoT) will consist of billions of interconnected devices and networks interacting, resulting in an ultra-dense heterogeneous IoT network (IoTN). Such IoTNs, even supported by new cutting-edge technologies, suffer from high interference, high latency, and low reliabilities. Hence, it is imperative to mitigate these issues with the design, optimization, and evaluation of IoTNs to attain a symbiotic relationship among devices within a IoTN. Motivated by these concerns, this fellowship aims to provide algorithms/protocols and medium access design for efficient and effective resource allocation, interference management, lower latency, and higher reliability to achieve a symbiotic IoTN. Dr. Derek Asiedu will as a MSCA fellow receive crucial training at Mid Sweden University, including a five-month secondment at IMT-Atlantique, France, to develop and transfer his unique skills to the research centers.

Floating PV, if it is to aid the transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society and contribute towards the EU policy goals, must overcome 3 challenges that are also high-lighted in the Work Programme. FPV must prove its sustainability, by demonstrating low impact on biodiversity and satisfy end-of-life requirements, its longevity and reliability by demonstrating system components that satisfy structural and functional requirements for the entire lifecycle, and its affordability, by reducing the LCOE from FPV power plants. These are the challenges that the objectives of SuRE seek to overcome. Activities are structured into 3 generalizable topics, SUstainability, Reliability, and Efficiency, which gives SuRE FPV its name, and are designed to advance the entire FPV industry. We will further work with concrete technology developments for 3 leading European FPV technologies to improve their design, sustainability, cost-competitiveness and application range. The three FPV technology providers are Ciel et Terre (CTI), who have installed 650 MW globally, Zimmermann PV-Steel Group (ZIM), who is dominating the European FPV market, and Sunlit Sea (Sunlit) who is providing a innovative FPV solution for off-shore deployment. CTI has recently prototyped a new floater design, which will be developed and tested in SuRE, first 50 kW, then on 5 MW scale. ZIM aims to expand their technology to higher sea states, and will build a 5 MW based on the developments in floater-, connection- and anchoring- technology in SuRE. Sunlit are about to scale up their FPV technology and see potential for large reductions in cost and CO2 footprint through the activities planned in SuRE. They will build a smaller, but still commercially relevant, pilot of 100 on the Norwegian cost. Ultimately, SuRE will provide both cost-efficient and sustainable new FPV technologies and generalizable knowledge, thereby expanding the potential application areas without environmental sacrifices.

Thought to possess a greater trait redundancy across species, more biodiverse systems are considered better able to maintain their stability following disturbances. However, despite ranking amongst the planets most biodiverse ecoregions, tropical rainforests and coral reefs are highly vulnerable to ongoing global change. Meanwhile, the localised arrangement of species assemblages impacts the relative resilience of systems with comparable diversity, such that similar systems exhibit differing responses to the same disturbances. Consequently, predicting the viability of natural systems and implementing effective conservation action, requires a more nuanced understanding of how the local configuration of species traits mediates the effects of diversity on population-, community- and ecosystem-level stability. Through the proposed research project, ReefCoRe, I will evaluate how the spatial arrangement of functional diversity within ecological communities refines population resilience and, therefore, mediates ecosystem stability. I will firstly utilise comparative modelling approaches to explore how the spatial context of trait diversity influences the survival, growth, and recruitment of individuals across the tree of life. Next, I will scale-up these assessments to evaluate how coexistence between functional groups impacts upon measures of population performance and resilience. Finally, I will develop tools aimed at uniting measures of demographic performance and resilience with more established measures of coral reef health, providing a platform for continued research linking the dynamics of coral populations with the wider functioning of their reef environments. By distilling the association between the functional composition of natural communities and measures of population performance and resilience, ReefCoRe will contribute the necessary insight required to forecast the effects of biodiversity change on the future stability and functioning of global ecosystems.

While today’s political map divides the globe into about 200 sovereign states, there were hundreds more in the 18th and 19th centuries. Although most of these “historical states” no longer appear on modern maps, they have left behind institutions, symbols, and elite networks. What are the legacies of these “historical states”? We propose a new theoretical framework to unpack the impacts of historical states on patterns of conflict and democracy in the modern world and a powerful new method capable of generating high-resolution data on the topographies of statehood, globally, between 1750-1920. Our method overcomes major limitations and obstacles in current practices of studying the legacies of historical states and enables us to transcend 2D Cartesian mapping assumptions that are poorly equipped to render statehood in what were often decentralized international systems. Drawing on our new theoretical framework, we use the high-resolution LEGACIES data to estimate how historical statehood has shaped contemporary patterns of dissent and democracy. Our project has the potential to transform the way international relations scholars see and understand the international system(s) of the 18th and 19th centuries and how these legacies have shaped the political contours of the modern world.

Different from the well-established theories based on through-bond conjugation, through-space interaction (TSI) has been proved to be another essential electronic interaction. However, it is still challenging to manipulate TSI and utilize it to develop organic functional materials due to the difficulties in conformational manipulation and the lack of structure-property relationships of TSI. Hence, this proposal aims to study the photophysical and electronic properties, dynamic behaviors, and working mechanisms of noncovalent TSI with the help of light-driven molecular motors. Herein, three objectives will be mainly investigated: i) a new type of molecular motor driven by the noncovalent conformational lock; ii) dynamic through-space charge transfer and multistate luminescent switches; iii) single-molecular junctions with dynamic TSI. These objectives will be realized using experimental and theoretical combined strategies which broadly interconnect multidisciplinary techniques and knowledge. The exploitation and dissemination are also involved in enhancing the expected outcomes and impacts of this proposal. Besides, the experienced researcher (ER) bears a strong background in photophysical chemistry, TSI, luminescent materials, and theoretical calculation, which is recognized by many awards and good publications. The host lab and supervisor have been renowned for molecular motor, photochemistry, and dynamic chemistry for 30 years, which has built a great experimental platform and scientific prestige, including Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Hence, the two-way transfer of knowledge will be smoothly launched based on the complementary experience between the two sides. In addition, a series of training plans and public activities are proposed to promote the ER's academic development, career perspectives, and employability. A detailed work plan and risk management are also reasonably discussed to guarantee the feasibility and high coherence of the proposed work packages.

PRISMA is a revolutionary thin-film micropump realized with novel ceria-based oxides actuating materials in the frame of the FET-OPEN BioWings project, which can be used as an innovative pumping system in wearable insulin delivery devices for the treatment of diabetes. The integration of the PRISMA micropump in insulin patch pumps addresses the 3 most important pain points that still keep the vast majority of diabetic patients away from this life-saving treatment: 1) Size, which is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than state of the art. 2) Higher drug delivery accuracy within the ?5% range ensures the highest therapeutic efficacy. 3) drastic reduction in energy consumption. Besides the short-term vision to realise extremely compact and accurate patch pumps, the long term goal is to allow the realisation of multi-drug delivery systems, making real the much-lauded multi-hormone treatment. The main objective of this project is to validate the pump and its manufacturing process in a real operating environment, proving to system integrators that all specifications are consistently met to pave the way for the post-project system integration and clinical validation. This will pave the way to the launch of a startup company that will take care of the final steps of the development roadmap and will establish long-term cooperation agreements with prominent medical device manufacturers for the integration of PRISMA in next-generation single and multi-hormone smart patches.

Biochips proposes an innovative bottom-up strategy to directly fabricate cell-laden devices that recreate the unique biophysical cues from the native fibrillar ECMs and allow the design of bioengineered microtissues with arbitrary geometries. The proposed platform combines the concepts of matrix-assisted 3D free-form bioprinting with the controlled self-assembly of colloidal cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to fabricate cell-laden constructs embedded within its own fibrillar CNC hydrogel device. The proposed platform can array multiple independent single organ models in a high-throughput manner (number will depend on the desired model complexity and well plate used) or link multiple tissue/organ models together with microfluidic circuits that can be user-defined on their CAD designs. The BioCHIPS system enables high-resolution printing of complex and perfusable multicellular constructs without separating membranes or plastic barriers, where cells can interact through signaling gradients created by compartmentalization in a bioinspired fibrillar matrix, and supporting their long-term culture. In addition to optical transparency for real time monitoring, CNCs hydrogels can be bioorthogonally digested to release the embedded constructs for post-bioprinting analysis and processing, which is a crucial advantage in organ/tissue-on-chip applications. Beyond the fabrication of perfusable microfluidic channels and cell-laden chambers for the development of 3D microphysiological systems as in vitro models, the intrinsic characteristics of this bioinspired platform, further enables its scale up to produce tissue engineered constructs within its own bioreactor for in vitro maturation and biological tests at higher scales.
