Works of art are repositories of environmental knowledge. Paintings, sculptures, and artifacts preserve material evidence of the use of natural resources like mineral pigments, plant-based dyes, and precious metals, and contribute to a visual archive of human interaction with nature by providing pictorial records of mining and deforestation. ECOART aims to rewrite art history as a history of ecological interconnections and prove that aesthetic practices were conditioned by environmental circumstances by examining the artistic use and visual representation of geographical, geological, botanical, zoological, and climatic resources across Eurasia, a space dominated by European and Chinese economic spheres of influence, in an era of early modern globalization from 1500 to 1800. The project investigates six key artistic sites with a focus on the Global South, an area still affected by the colonial exploitation of resources – the Indian region of Gujarat and the port cities of Manila in the Philippines, Jakarta in Indonesia, Guangzhou in China, Yangon in Myanmar, and Amsterdam in the Netherlands – with three objectives: 1. to analyze works of art as early modern repositories of environmental knowledge; 2. to reconstruct local ecologies of art and artisanship in the Global South in relation to trade and colonial exploitation; and 3. to make visible transcultural models of sustainability and creative reuse across early modern Eurasia. Digital mapping will demonstrate linkages between sites of artistic activity, resource extraction, and trade via overland and maritime connections. Through a geographic focus on under-researched regions of the Global South, and its transcultural and comparative methodology, ECOART will contribute to the decolonization of art history, provide theoretical insights into circular economies and the ecology of art, and contribute key historical information to an interdisciplinary understanding of natural resource conflicts during the Anthropocene.

SUPPORTER advances inclusive gender+ equality within the ERA. It supports institutions to develop intersectional, innovative, inclusive and impactful gender equality plans (4I-GEPs), tailored to sports higher education institutions, and explicitly addressing gender-based violence including sexual harassment (GBV). Building on state-of the-art knowledge and the expertise of advanced gender+ equality institutions, SUPPORTER co-creates an innovative capacity-building and mutual learning programme, delivering support and mentoring towards the development of the 4I-GEPs. Guided by inclusive and innovative epistemologies and co-creative methodologies SUPPORTER acts: -horizontally, by fostering institutional capacity and culture based on the principles of Diversity & Inclusion within an intersectional framework, ultimately enhancing the sports institutions’ reputation, attractiveness, inclusiveness and research excellence; -vertically, by triggering a transformative, institutional inclusive and sustainable change to sports institutions to address inequality-driven challenges and advance gender+ equality, focusing on GBV, thus also enhancing the institutions’ efforts towards meeting their gender+ equality objectives in the ERA context. To achieve these objectives SUPPORTER adopts a twinning-inspired approach, methodologically based on 3 interlinked processes (analytical, reflective, implementation), combining 4I learning and mutual learning schemes with co-creation and dissemination activities, engaging a diverse range of stakeholders, and building on knowledge and expertise from previous projects and tools. The multiplier effect of SUPPORTER, starting from the eight partner institutions and gradually reaching the sports ecosystem, has the long-term potential to trigger gender+ institutional change in a variety of further institutions, reaching society more broadly and contributing to wide-range systemic societal changes in line with the Ljubljana Declaration objectives.

Strong light-matter coupling (SC) is increasingly proposed as a powerful tool for post-synthetic control of the optoelectronic properties of organic materials. This technology aims to exploit the easily tuneable polariton states arising from the SC between confined light fields and excitons in organic materials to rewrite molecular energy landscapes and redirect physical pathways. Singlet fission (SF) is a promising technology for improving the efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells beyond their theoretical limit. The SF process consists of the splitting of a singlet excited state into two entangled triplet-triplet states that later become two independent triplets, yielding up to two excited states per absorbed photon –hence, more efficient solar cells. Despite its great potential, SF has been observed only in a limited number of organic compounds and in many cases with a low efficiency, being the synthesis of new derivatives a huge challenge. Recently, some theoretical studies proposed SC as a post-synthesis solution to enhance the SF performance of inefficient materials, by controlling their energy landscape. However, the growing difficulty in reproducing key results in the field of Organic Polaritonics (OP) suggests a poor understanding of the involved phenomena. The major research ambition of this MSCA proposal is to understand the working principles in the OP field and demonstrate that SC can be exploited to enhance the SF efficiency. The implementation of this MSCA proposal will provide a deep knowledge of SC at the molecular scale and how to control it at the macroscale within polaritonic devices, realizing the post-synthetic control of the molecular properties. This achievement will lead to important breakthroughs in Materials Science and Photonics, setting the basis for the OP field. Besides, the proposed research and training activities will expand my experience, research expertise and networks, providing a boost to my career as an independent researcher.

The climate system is changing rapidly and some regions have seen increases in extremes beyond what is expected from climate model simulations. To support targeted climate adaptation strategies, EXPECT will enable trustworthy assessments and predictions of regional climate change including extremes by developing a prototype operational capability for integrated attribution and prediction of climate. This ambitious goal is closely aligned with the WCRP Lighthouse Activity on Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change. EXPECT will identify and quantify the mechanisms by which physical processes govern regional climatic changes, including extremes, on inter-annual to multi-decadal time scales. It will do so by exploiting newly available climate simulations and Earth Observations (EOs), and by combining machine learning (ML) with physical methods. The research will target fundamental knowledge gaps related to atmospheric circulation and land-atmosphere interactions, which represent major limitations in current climate predictions and projections, and in particular in understanding changes in European summer extremes. To underpin the research, and benefitting the wider research community, EXPECT will develop tools to efficiently analyse a variety of large data sets in combination that are hosted in different repositories across institutions. This will facilitate the exploitation of recent investments into high-resolution climate models and EO data. EXPECT will further build data science capacity for the scientifically robust, efficient and reproducible analysis of the massive data assets, including novel ML approaches, and provide training for the climate science community and the next generation of researchers in particular. EXPECT will thus deliver significant scientific and technological advances for society and the climate science community that will last well beyond the project, in support of WCRP’s strategic objectives.

The current food system is insufficient and unsustainable, generating 17% of the total GHG emissions for animal farming while only supplying 18% of the global calories and 37% of the global proteins. The cultured meat (CM) and cultured seafood (CSF) industry is emerging to meet the growing demand of protein with promises of lower environmental footprint. However, the current knowledge on the impact of this sector is limited, based on developments that have not happened yet and lacking important considerations such as its social impact or its adaptability to current and future demand. Current race-to-market pressures, fueled by recent market approvals overseas, highlight the need to define a roadmap that can develop the sector in an ethical, sustainable and cost-competitive way. This is a unique opportunity for an effective reorganisation of the food system to establish resilient value chains in the EU. Gathering a large set of independent food system actors, FEASTS will provide an unprecedented, unbiased and robust knowledge base for the assessment of the sustainability aspects of the CM/CSF sector by actively promoting multistakeholder engagement and co-creation activities grounded on transparent dialogue and open science practices. It will explore different production methods, product types, supply and value chains as well as business models to provide balanced solutions that are not only sustainable by design and cost-efficient, but also ethically responsible, safe and nutritious, fair and inclusive. FEASTS, designed as a think-tank, adopts a Food Systems Thinking approach and a multidimensional impact assessment including not only LCA, TEA and SLCA of CM/CSF products and their comparison to conventional counterparts but also systems dynamic modelling and integrated scenario analysis that will provide a decision support tool for informed policy- and decision-making in the EU.

The objective of the Multilingual Individual Neurocognitive Differences in Middle Age Project (MIND-MAP) is to investigate how variation in multilingual engagement (e.g., context and intensity of L2 use) correlates to individual differences in neurocognitive adaptations in the mid-life age range. This age range is severely understudied in the relevant literatures, yet of critical importance as it is the immediate precursor period to when cognitive ageing (CA) becomes most prevalent. As such, MIND-MAP serves as a bridge between research mapping multilingual experience-related factors and individual differences in neurocognitive outcomes to research on multilingualism effects in CA. Herein we combine behavioral testing with brain recordings via electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is widely used in cognitive neuroscience to assess quality and quantity of overall brain wave oscillatory activity and the degree of communication between brain regions (functional connectivity) in response to stimuli and at rest. Combining behavior and neuroimaging modalities, MIND-MAP will examine specific domains of neurocognition adversely affected by CA that overlap with areas argued to be positively affected by multilingual experience precisely in the age range where revealing and understanding these correlations could be the most helpful, that is just prior to when CA progression is typically noted. Fine-tuning our understanding of the (potential) relationship between specific patterns of multilingualism and resulting neurocognitive adaptations is the first step to unlocking any future potential for capitalizing on it as a health initiative, which would have manifold societal repercussions.

The QPIDControl project will theoretically investigate the use of control schemes known from classical theory, namely proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, to control the state of quantum systems. Over the last decade, interest in applying measurement-based feedback control to quantum systems has increased considerably. Given the versatility of PIDs, it is reasonable to expect that they may be applied to quantum systems, for instance for information processing and feedback control. Most experimental implementations of feedback loops in quantum systems exclusively rely on the proportional action. Despite their relevance in classical control schemes, the integral and derivative actions have not been studied sufficiently in the context of quantum systems. The goal of QPIDControl is to achieve a new level of understanding of feedback loops by studying the combined effect of the proportional, integral and derivative actions, and to demonstrate the applicability PIDs for the generation of quantum states. First, we will theoretically study the use of PIDs for cooling and controlling a mechanical degree of freedom in an optomechanical system. Second, we will study how classical control schemes translate into quantum systems. Third, we will apply PIDs to characterise the generation and stabilisation of the state of an atom coupled to a waveguide. During the project, we will actively collaborate with experimental groups to put the results into practice. The results of the project will be useful, for instance, for enhancing the design of optomechanical gravitational wave detectors, and in quantum computing, where qubits need to be initialised in specific states.
