The aim of the VIBREAC project is to develop a new computational tool based on a quasi-classical statistical model for the state-to-state treatment of molecular interactions. Recent conferences and commission reports of leading astronomical networks have emphasised that rovibrationally state-resolved collisional data for molecules are essential for future observational astronomy, as the number of detections of new, complex molecules has increased rapidly in recent years. In interstellar environments where local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions are not fulfilled, collisional and radiative processes compete to populate the rovibrational levels, which should be taken into account in proper astrophysical models. The accurate interpretation of the observations, which allows the relative abundance of particular molecules to be inferred, therefore requires a proper knowledge of both their collisional and radiative properties upon their interaction with the most abundant interstellar species such as H2, He or H. In the project, we will develop a significantly improved quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) molecular scattering model that will be reliable for both reactive and inelastic collisions involving polyatomic species, with full a state-selective resolution of the rotational-vibrational levels of the reactants and products, which is currently beyond the state-of-the-art. Although the fellow already has extensive knowledge in this field, the VIBREAC project will provide him with additional training, new skills and expertise in scattering dynamics and statistical modelling at HUN-REN ATOMKI (Debrecen, Hungary), as well as in computational chemistry and automated potential energy surface calculations during secondments to the University of Szeged (Hungary). Overall, this will consolidate his scientific and transferable skills and allow him to become an independent researcher with the aim of obtaining a permanent academic position at a leading European research centre.

Millions of employees around the globe work for an AI manager that structures their tasks and monitors their performance. While companies hope that such AI managers will lead to substantial performance benefits, it is critical that AI transits from a bureaucratic manager to an inspiring, transformational leader if companies want employee performance and satisfaction to peak. To date, however, research on the consequences of AI leadership cannot give relevant insights because scholars have studied employees in hypothetical scenarios or simplistic environments that do not mirror the complex realities of contemporary workplaces. My goal within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship is to tackle these problems by investigating interactions between employees and AI leaders from an interdependence theory view. Across two empirical studies with more than 1,400 employees, I will examine how AI leaders (programmed via a novel natural language processing tool) affect employees’ task performance and satisfaction when they really interact with AI leaders across interdependent tasks, different leadership styles, and work constellations. Given the rise of AI managers within Europe, this research will provide relevant scientific, practice, and policy insights aimed at sustaining a high-performing and satisfied European workforce of the future. I will accomplish these ambitious goals by combining my expertise with the profound knowledge of interdependence theory and longitudinal methods from Maastricht University’s scholars. In sum, this action and the foreseen two top-tier publications will substantially advance my research (both theory and methods) skills and extend my professional and practice network. Maastricht University is an ideal fit for this fellowship that will be a significant boost for my academic career and will provide a cornerstone for becoming a mature and renowned scientist in the field of AI leadership, in particular, and organizational behavior, in particular.

R. Langlands conjectured the existence of a correspondence between automorphic spectrums of Hecke algebras and representations of Galois groups of global fields. The existence of such correspondence is one of the main conjectures in mathematics. Even if not known in full generality it leads to proofs of Ferma and Sato-Tate conjectures. This project is on three aspects of the Langlands correspondence. The first part of this project is a description of the spectrum of Hecke algebras on the space generated by pseudo Eisenstein series of cuspidal automorphic forms of Levi subgroups. In the simplest non-trivial case, the precise description is a conjecture of Langlands. This conjecture is proven in my work with A. Okounkov, by an unexpected topological interpretation. I expect this approach to work in a number of other cases. The second part of this project is an extension of the Langlands correspondence to a completely new area of fields of rational functions on curves over local fields. This extension of the Langlands correspondence to a new area could lead to new interplays between Representation Theory and Number Theory. The third part of the project is on a categorification of the Langlands correspondence necessary for establishing the strong form of this correspondence.

NEUTRALPATH aims at demonstrating that PCEDs designed and implemented under participative and human-center principles are cost-effective and feasible solutions to contribute significantly to the cities’ transformation towards climate-neutrality, allowing to speed up the process even to reach SCOPE 2 emissions reduction in 2030. Dresden (Germany) and Zaragoza (Spain), with strong experience in urban transformation projects and fully committed to be climate neutral in 2030, will demonstrate 2 PCEDs from the design to the implementation and evaluation stages acting as Lighthouse Cities. Both cities also ambition to act as front-runners of this process creating Climate-Neutral LABs conceived as Innovation Hubs with the aim of fostering faster upscaling and replicability at EU level, making three Fellow Cities (Istanbul[Turkey], Ghent [Belgium] and Vantaa[Finland]) through their own CN-Labs direct participants of the processes and later on main protagonists by means of their own PCED design and implementation. NEUTRALPATH will deliver a strong contribution to meet the EU climate targets establishing a collaboration agreement with the Cities Mission Platform focused on exchanging knowledge and experiences, as well as with the main EU initiatives as H2020 SCC Lighthouse projects and SC Marketplace or Covenant of Mayors.

The number and severity of disasters are increasing in Europe, due to climate change, ageing of industrial facilities and infrastructures, geo-political instability, poor knowledge management for critical activities and the vulnerability of the population exposed (density, age, migration…). To face these challenges, firefighters, rescuers, emergency medical responders and civil protection staff, have to implement effective and affordable solutions to support their operations. The DIREKTION project will establish and implement mechanisms and procedures to enhance knowledge sharing by directing the development of innovative technologies answering the needs of practitioners and policymakers. The steering role of international organisations (CTIF, FEU) and end-users will guarantee useful and practical results. The project starts with the deployment of tools assessing the relevance and interoperability of innovative technologies developed by EU Horizon projects. A structured analysis of needs and gaps and the screening of potential solutions will then be undertaken. The procedures will use the outcomes of projects like FIRE-IN, DRIVER+ / CMINE, MEDEA, the pilot for the Network of European Hubs for Civil Protection and Crisis Management and will follow the taxonomy of the EU security market study to ensure a structured use of results. Based on the capability-driven evaluations and a detailed analysis of the opportunities and constraints for the uptake of innovative solutions, DIREKTION will establish priorities for future research programming and capacity building. Moreover, the project will further establish networking and dissemination opportunities of interest for the DRS community in close collaboration with industry, SMEs & start-ups, research organizations and practitioners, at EU and national levels. DIREKTION will strengthen current practice and future research and innovation planning in disaster resilience.

Algorithmic game theory (AGT) lies at the intersection of algorithms and incentives, offering a framework for the design of algorithms that provide incentives for collaboration in computational markets. AGT has played a pivotal role in shaping vital computing platforms. One of the most influential fields within AGT is algorithmic mechanism design, providing incentives for truthful revelation of private information. An equally important intersection of algorithms and incentives arises in the design of algorithms incentivizing self-interested agents to exert costly effort in executing their tasks. Incentivizing effort was studied with great success in the economics field of contract theory. As classic applications of effort incentivization move to computational platforms, including huge computational markets for freelancing services, marketing, and online courses, they grow in scale and complexity and become data-driven. In this evolving landscape, adopting an algorithmic approach to contract design is essential. This includes a language for analyzing the computational complexity of contracts in combinatorial settings, tools for studying simplicity-optimality tradeoffs, and a formalism for analyzing data-driven contracts. In 2006, I co-authored the pioneering paper applying an algorithmic lens to contract design, marking the inception of the field of algorithmic contract theory (ACT) and foreshadowed future developments. However, it is only in recent years that the scientific landscape and computational platforms have matured to a stage where ACT has become a prominent field in AGT. Preliminary research in ACT has been enlightening. However, the state of the art of ACT still lags far behind full applicability in Internet applications, largely due to disregard of crucial real-world aspects. The paramount goal of this project is to establish a foundational theory for algorithmic contract design that will bridge this gap and inform the design of real-world applications.

‘Science for Everyone’ has been perceived as a motto to involve the general public, especially young students, with research activities and scientific knowledge that may answer to concerns related to sustainability, climate neutrality and social inclusion, major world and European challenges. This proposal intends to directly respond to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) goals of the EU framework program by raising the public awareness, also among school communities, about the relevance of science to assure resources preservation, decarbonization and inclusion and by bridging the gap between scientists and society, giving researchers the opportunity to perceive the main concerns of citizens and how those see and understand their work. Schools and their students will be involved in activities during the whole project, in order to ensure the impact in such communities. Thus, by increasing public and students outreach, ‘SCIEVER’ will contribute simultaneously for two main objectives: (i) improving the understanding of the importance of scientific careers development and science investments; (ii) increasing researchers' understanding of the role of society as a whole for sustainable science policies development. The consortium of this project is coordinated by the University of Lisbon through the National Museum of Natural History and Science and combines efforts between researchers of major universities in Portugal, including four urban areas from north to south – the University of Minho, the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, the University of Évora, the University of Coimbra and the Lisbon University Institute for the impact assessment. Nova University in Lisbon will coordinate a special program targeting school communities and the Superior School for Tourism in Estoril will contribute to disseminate food security practices. The Lisbon municipality is a central partner for the engagement of diverse audiences and civil society stakeholders.
