Why are sports segregated by gender? Why do women play some sports and not others? What makes gymnastics a feminine sport? Why shouldn’t men compete in synchronised swimming? Why didn’t women compete in Olympic weightlifting before 2000? These questions have gained renewed prominence in the wake of South African athlete Caster Semenya’s legal appeals against the decision by the International Association of Athletics Federations to reduce her testosterone levels, the ‘me too’ movement, revelations of years of abuse in women’s gymnastics, and the controversies around Laurel Hubbard’s transition from male to female and what it meant for her weightlifting career. These issues have cast a fresh spotlight on the gendering of sport which has created barriers to discrimination against women, and a range of psychological and health problems for women, especially young women. This project employs historical sociology to understand how sports’ international governing bodies create, enforce, and dismantle gender segregation. It uses gymnastics, swimming, and weightlifting as case studies to compare how three sports have been engendered through their international federations’ rules and policies. Immersion in historical archives combined with qualitative interviews provide the data for the project, which will be analysed using a gender theory. In doing so, this project aims to provide a critical understanding of the binary gendering of sports as masculine or feminine, and offer new policy recommendations for sports associations to achieve greater inclusivity in sport. It will also expand the scientific skills of the researcher by incorporating sociological theory into history. It thereby broadens her expertise and reinforces a mature research position, improving the fellow’s employability post-project.

The changing climate is disrupting fresh water infrastructures. Dominant technocratic systems of knowledge and practice supporting water infrastructures in Europe are being undermined by rapid changes, which introduce new uncertainties and contest old securities. We need novel ways of mobilising knowledge for water infrastructures that readmits communities’ diverse cultural interactions with water to promote adaptive decision-making. The CANALS project begins from three claims; (i) that current understandings of water, climate and infrastructures struggle to address emerging uncertainties due to climate change; (ii) that a proper regard for water cultures is needed to overcome these obstacles; particularly by (iii) extending the ‘peer communities’ of diverse knowledge-holders. CANALS’ water culture perspective understands cultures as both practices and systems of symbols and meanings. It recognises the hybrid character of water, which exists independently of humans and at the same time is culturally enacted through human practices. It also sees infrastructures as social practices connecting people and objects in the world in socio-material relations. A water-cultural perspective thus better captures the complex processes around water infrastructures in the context of challenges posed by climate change. Adopting an innovative water culture perspective, CANALS will first make visible the spectrum of knowledges and practices used by different social groups for maintaining infrastructures. Going further, the project will develop transdisciplinary ways of convening an ‘extended peer community’ of water stakeholders, to together appraise the quality of their water knowledges for policy-making. CANALS creates the conditions for me to advance the scholarship on water infrastructures; and expand my expertise and experience with the empirical social science concepts and methods crucial for unlocking these insights and developing my future academic career in this field.

The number of people who die from fungal infections is estimated to be equivalent to or greater than the numbers that die from either tuberculosis or malaria. There are only 3 classes of antifungal drugs available to treat these invasive diseases and resistance against these drugs is increasing. In this study I will investigate how antifungal resistance is impacted by cell heterogeneity in the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The main hypothesis that I will test is that fungal cell heterogeneity provides subpopulations of cells with greater fitness to resist antifungal treatment. I will determine: (1) which features of three distinct fungal cell types contribute to cell heterogeneity; (2) which cell types and subpopulations of these cells show highest resistance or survival against antifungals; and (3) the roles of septal plugging and cell ploidy in the mechanistic basis of fungal cell heterogeneity. Cutting edge technologies that will be used in this study will include: (1) flow cytometry and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to identify and select cell subpopulations to test their antifungal resistance, (2) automated, high throughput, high content live cell imaging to analyse the resistance of single cells to antifungals, (3) advanced live-cell imaging techniques including GFP photoactivation and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to identify septal pore plugging; and (4) laser microdissection to further analyse septal pore plugging. With these advanced techniques I will study the mechanistic basis of fungal resistance mediated by cell heterogeneity. My results will ultimately show how fungal cell heterogeneity impacts fitness against antifungal drugs and they will be the starting point for designing novel antifungal therapies that reduce this fitness.

HEATSELF is a Start-up based in Saint-Saëns (Normandy, France). HEATSELF proposes a range of self-regulating electric heating cables used for protection against frost, for multipurpose applications. HEATSELF technology is based on the control of the electrical properties of conductive plastics. These properties allow the creation of temperature-sensitive and self-adaptive heating products. Up to now, the power control of the heating cable is driven by temperature and/or humidity sensors. The heating device is activated when the sensor detects a temperature below 3° C or an exceedingly high level of humidity. However, for defrosting applications, heat activation is only needed when frost has covered the surface to be heated. Without frost, even with a temperature under 3 °C, it is not necessary to start defrosting. Unfortunately, there is no system available on the market to detect the presence of frost. In order to optimise the energy consumption of its products HEATSELF aims to develop an innovative system based on a fine analysis of the ambient conditions of the device to protect against frost. Such a system requires a predictive frost sensor. This predictive sensor aims at saving about 30 % of energy consumption. It will be a word-class innovation. To explore this idea during one year, HEASTESLF need to recruit a highly skilled researcher, specialised in electronic. This is aim of the METEOR project. The mission for the innovation associate will be to explore the idea through a feasibility study covering technical and market aspects. The innovation associate will directly work with the CEO of the company and will be offered a permanent position after the grant period, in case of success of the feasibility survey, as electronic project manager. This idea represents a highly strategic innovation potential for HEATSELF, which could lead to numerous applications in various industries such as railway, aerospace. Potentially, the turnover of HEATSELF could be tripled.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness with a huge burden on society. Consideration for multi-disciplinary and psychological treatments is raising, but a comprehensive evidence base on their efficacy is lacking from the literature. Taking advantage of my background in psychology and mental health research, I will apply an innovative statistical methodology to compare all existing psychological interventions for schizophrenia, called network meta-analysis. I will produce research evidence on the comparative efficacy of treatments even where a direct comparison has never been made, providing practitioners and policy makers with valuable knowledge for making decisions according to an evidence based medicine approach. This addresses several EU programs’ aims. I will be hosted at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of Klinikum rechts der Isar der Technischen Universität München, under the supervision of Professor Stefan Leucht, who has outstanding expertise both in the field of schizophrenia treatment and in the methodology of NMA. A partner organization for highly specialized data analysis will be involved, with a secondment at University of Bern Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, where I will work with Professor Georgia Salanti learning how to analyse collected data. Throughout all the project a transfer of knowledge perspective will be used, producing outputs to be delivered to policy makers (including World Health Organization, with whom I have an established collaboration) and other organizations involved in guideline production, as well as available to the community of European citizens with public outreach activities (the database will be made publicly available on the project’s website). As a result, novel evidence will be produced on this challenging topic. I will gain new skills and I will substantially increase my experience in research project management, networking and teaching, preparing for an independent position in academia.

The market of hydrogen refuelling stations is expected to thrive, with more than 400 stations by 2023 only in Germany. Hydrogen mobility is today the only reliable alternative to electric vehicles since it does not suffer the limits in autonomy and charging time affecting electric vehicles, opening promising perspective to decarbonise the transport mass-market. A widespread geographic coverage of the refuelling infrastructure is an unavoidable step to boost the hydrogen mobility, but the main bottleneck in the realization of this target is currently the high cost of refuelling stations. New cost-effective technologies for development of small-medium refuelling stations are eagerly demanded to give the initiative the proper initial sustainability. HYDRUS aims towards this direction, providing a breakthrough high-performance compressor and a flexible and modular architecture for the refuelling station enabling - to limit the initial costs of investments; - to scale the size of the infrastructure by later addition of new modules; - to increase the resilience, reliability and security of the refuelling infrastructure, by significantly reducing the size (or potentially avoid) of the high-pressure storage. The core of HYDRUS proposal is a "Hydraulic driven intensifier" booster, allowing - Compression capacity above 90 MPa to cope with the new fuelling protocols set by the SAE J2609 guideline; - High flow rate (200-600 Nm3/h) during refilling of vehicles to fulfil the customers’ expectations of fuelling time in 3-5 minutes. Our vision is to introduce a disruptive refuelling technology to make infrastructures more sustainable, safe and adaptable to evolving needs of H2 mobility. The feasibility study aims to assess the opportunities and risk, as well as to plan the activities necessary - To industrialize Hydrus booster - To validate the HYDRUS architecture refuelling infrastructure - To test the potential target market to achieve a successful business exploitation

The project "Incremental Sound Change in Oslo" (ISC-Oslo) will investigate the socio-demographic origins of five ongoing phonetic changes in a post-hoc phonetic analysis of two corpora from the early 2000s. Working-class children and youth have been identified as one of the main sources of language change. Their lexical, syntactic or phonetic innovations are often disregarded by non-linguists as slang, but it has been shown that these innovations can lead to change within pre-existing dialects and even new social dialects. Due to the fact that these innovations often at first escape social monitoring, this process is referred to by Labov as "changes from below" and has been identified in a number of urban studies. The most common – yet, elusive – changes from below are phonetic. These types of changes accumulate generation after generation and result in the evolution of new dialects and languages. What is poorly understood, however, is the role of multiethnolects in this process. These are new varieties formed by the ethnically diverse speakers in Europe’s urban neighborhoods. Like many European cities, Oslo is witnessing the emergence of a new working-class sociolect spoken by the second and third generation descendants of non-western labor and refugee migrants. Multiethnolects have typically been examined within the lens of youth argot or second-language acquisition. ISC-Oslo, however, takes a different point of departure. It seeks to apply Labov’s theory on speakers of multiethnolects, who often have the same socioeconomic profiles as the innovators describes in his studies. The main focus of ISC-Oslo will be twofold. First it would develop an automatic phonetic aligner to phonetically annotate two large corpora collected in the early 2000s. Second, it would analyze the production of five innovative features that are circulating today to identify whether they originated from youth of migrant origin in the early 2000s.

Designating Protected Areas (PAs) is the most important policy tool for biodiversity conservation. Over 100 new PAs have been established in the past 36 months in European Union territory. However, effective management of PAs is often obstructed by conflicts mainly associated with the social impacts (SIs) imposed on local communities by their establishment. Despite the importance of these SIs there are certain aspects in this field that remain significantly under-researched. There is now an increasing need to incorporate SI assessments in decision making processes by providing a clear framework explaining how perceptions of these impacts are created and predicting their change in the future. This will support the achievement of international goals for biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change as well as better accounting for social justice issues for communities dependent on protected natural resources. The aim of FIDELIO is to develop for the first time a new paradigm in order to understand how perceptions of SIs are formulated taking into consideration the dimensions of space and time. FIDELIO will assist in increasing public engagement and the incorporation of local opinions in decision-making. It will also facilitate the process of policy development and a reduction in conflicts between different stakeholders in PAs. FIDELIO will last 5 years and its research objectives will be explored through the application of a mixed-methods approach including the implementation of two rounds of social surveys in 4 PAs across Europe and the testing of the framework in 15 additional PAs. This is an extremely timely project considering the steady increase of new PAs and the re-designation of current ones. FIDELIO will contribute to the better understanding of SIs and facilitate predictions for their change in the future, while assisting in maximizing social benefits for local communities arising from the designation of a PA.
