Neither the promotion of science and research nor innovation are a priority in South Tyrol, a land of around 500,000 inhabitants. Traditions are agriculture, skilled crafts and trades. Only 0.7% of South Tyrol’s gross domestic product is spent on research and development, compared with 1.26% in the whole of Italy and 1.63% within the EU. (Source: Istat 2015, OECD 2015). Those committed to promoting research in the region try to engage both politicians and the general public by means of a wide variety of activities. One particularly important crowd puller is the biennial ‘Long Night of Research’ (Lunga notte della ricerca – Lange Nacht der Forschung) in Bozen-Bolzano. The EURAC – unibz – TIS consortium together with other partners will be opening their doors for the fifth time on September 30th, 2016, allowing visitors the opportunity to have a proper look at the work of the scientists, to enter into discussions and conduct experiments with them, to be amazed and to have fun. The three main venues for events in Bozen-Bolzano will as before be linked by a free shuttle bus service which will also serve the locations of up to 8 further events partners. The Awareness Campaign will target around 300,000 persons. The ever growing visitor numbers of the previous events (in 2014 the record number of almost 16,000 visitors was reached!) suggests that we should expect around 15,000 interested individuals keen on joining us. This year’s theme is “The Big Picture”, and from 17:00 onwards, young and old will be able to see for themselves that South Tyrol’s researchers play their part in contributing important pieces to the jigsaw puzzle which will enable them to anticipate or to influence future developments in the big picture that is Science. Interactive stands, competitions, games, shows and discussions in a relaxed atmosphere will offer something for everyone, and above all provide personal contact with around 300 scientists and technicians.

The SAAFE project, Soil quality Assessment in Agriculture For life cycle assessment-based Eco-design, aims to tackle the lack of accounting for land use impacts on soil quality in environmental footprints. It will provide a turnkey method within Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on a set of models integrating the interdisciplinary research advances. To benefit from this up-to-date research and to learn from renowned researchers, I aim to go to James Cook University, where there are rich knowledge and unique modelling groups on tropical soil processes. I will then bring back operational knowledge to Europe, where the gap in methods is still hampering the development of environmental footprint regulations, which concern a growing number of imported tropical products. Such scientific and operational developments are critical to improve the diagnostic power of LCA and ensure that LCA-based eco-designed practices enable soil functions’ resilience, hence sustainability. I will coordinate the project together with two extraordinary supervisors, A/Prof. Nelson and Dr. Perret, who have remarkable experiences in tropical soil sciences and LCA of agricultural systems, respectively, and are undeniable references in terms of project coordination and student supervision. I will also develop a complete personal career development plan along the project in order to overcome my scientific and skill gaps and surpass me. Rich from these collaborations and the experience gained through this ambitious project, I aim to move to the next stage in my career and become an internationally recognised research director. I will then build an ambitious new research programme in ecosystem services modelling and environmental assessments, combining research projects and an excellence training network to train young researchers and enhance capacity building exchanges. I also hope to become an influential expert providing advices to policy makers and contributing to make an impact for the society.

Action on circularity is not taken when information and evidence is not available across the life cycle chain. The CircThread project's main objective is to unlock access to data now in silo’s, and enhancing it as decision information for actors across and outside the extended product life cycle. To do this CircThread will deliver a Circular Digital Thread methodology, a framework for facilitating information flow exchanges across the extended life cycle chain of Products, Components, their Materials and Chemicals data, and related Circularity, Environmental, Social and Economic Information. The core is to create data linkages between product chain, value chain, asset chain and life cycle chains based on a Product information Catalogue, and enable information exchanges via data contracts governed by secure and reliable management standards. The project will implement the system in Cloud Platforms in 3 demonstration clusters in Italy, Slovenia and Spain rolled-out across the entire extended life cycle chain of home appliances (incl. washing machines and dish washers) and home energy systems (incl. boilers, solar-PV systems and batteries) to test 7 circularity use cases and associated business models. The expected impact for the work programme is to enable improved decision taking accelerating Circularity and Carbon emissions reductions including: i) Enhanced life extensions of products by better understanding of in use failures and maintenance needs, ii) improved understanding of the quality of end-of-life products for spare parts buy-backs to support right to repair, iii) improved assessment of circularity routes by waste management and recycling companies by delivering enhanced product composition data, iv) improved materials and chemicals tracing of products and components for safer products and identifying Critical Raw Materials cycles, v) Empowering decisions by citizens and citizen organisations by providing direct access to product performance information.

Natural mentoring relationships (NMRs) can positively affect children's cognitive and socio-emotional development, well-being, and authentic agency. In addition, NMRs contribute to the intergenerational dialogue and social cohesion in EUs societies, that is, to the current priorities of the EU Council’s youth policy. Though formal youth mentoring interventions (FYM) that aim to foster the benefits of NMRs for socially disadvantaged youths are modelled on NMRs, there is a gap in knowledge on the dynamics and benefits of NMRs experienced in the general population of young adolescents (12-15 years) in the EU. Besides, despite the recognised benefits of NMRs, no mentoring programmes target the empowerment of youths in mentoring skills in the general population. Building on my previous experience and research on youth mentoring, the ENCOUNTER aims to examine the NMRs in experiences of young adolescents in the EU context, using the exploratory qualitative research design that draws on phenomenological interviews and visual participatory methods (PhotoVoice), and focusing on three main objectives: • RO1: To examine the characteristics, dynamics, and perceived benefits of the natural mentoring relationships experienced by young adolescents in an EU context • RO2: To conceptualise the theoretical, interdisciplinary youth-centred framework on natural mentoring phenomena by reviewing the relevant theories on youth’s development across disciplines, and research literature on NMRs. • RO3: To contrast the functions, characteristics, and dynamics of NMRs among gender; and the features of NMRs experienced by young adolescents in the CZ and in an international context. ENCOUNTER will expand research, theory, and practice in the field in EU context by implementing novel methodological approaches in the field, enabling interdisciplinary conceptualization of natural mentoring phenomena, and addressing UN SDG Goals 2030 and EU’s Youth Sector Strategy 2030.

Socialist Medicine: An Alternative Global Health History The project pioneers a new history of global health that, for the first time, incorporates the socialist world - a constellation of countries in a fluctuating political, economic and military nexus distinct from the capitalist West. It identifies the particular health cultures produced by socialism (in all its variety) and explores the impact of socialist internationalism in co-producing global health in the 20th century. The proposed project pioneers a new history that will not only transform our knowledge of historical processes, but will further our understanding of ideas, practices and processes that current global health structures have been built on. Global health histories are framed mainly through American, colonial and liberal perspectives, even as some contributions of the socialist world, e.g. in smallpox eradication, have been acknowledged. The omission of socialist contexts, however, distorts our understanding of what global health is. Many parts of the socialist world, like China or Czechoslovakia, provided different approaches to international and global health, e.g. in rural health or epidemic management. Although there was not one socialist template, diverse framings of socialist medicine played major roles in shaping and contesting global practices. A systematic analysis of socialist medicine and international health through global case studies integrates missing expert networks, political agendas, public health models and diplomatic agreements in global health history. This work, in turn, allows us to rethink concepts such as socialism, medical aid, solidarity, development, socialist medical research and health provision.

Acne and onychomycosis (nail fungal infection) are two of the most common skin diseases, affecting up to 90% of teenagers and 10% of adults, respectively. Acne is estimated to affect 9.4% of the global population, making it the eighth most prevalent disease worldwide. In addition to the health and cosmetic damage, there are psycological consequences for these patients, which have a great negative impact in quality of life. The current treatments for these diseases have limitations in terms of efficiency and side effects as well as containing antibiotics. As a result, there is poor patient adherence to these therapies contributing to increase the microbial resistance, a matter of great concern for global society. In response to this challenge, Mavena has developed innovative medical devices (Green Line) for the treatment of acne and onychomycosis. Green Line uses a novel concentrate of peracids which destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses thorugh a physical process. Green Line’s mayor advantages are its high efficacy compared to current solutions and the absence of antibiotics, improving therapy adherence and reducing the risk of microbial resistance. Green Line will be notfied as class III medical devices, and thus do not need such a long and difficult approval process as for a medicinal product. Moreover, after notification, Green Line medical devices can be sold within the whole European Community and do not require prescription. This reduces the time to the market and opens a large territory at once. Upon completion of the project, this solution will boost the growth of our company generating additional 13 FTEs, revenues of €65.1 M and a ROI of 7.48 by the fourth year after Phase 2 execution. With the help of the SME instrument, Mavena aims to complete the clinical validation of their product so that it can be commercialized across international markets, improving the quality of care of healthcare systems worldwide as well as the patient´s quality of life.

Guided waves are recognized as one of the most promising techniques for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), as they provide reliable, long-range and highly sensitive damage inspection capabilities. Progress in this field would be impactful to EU transportation, aerospace and offshore industries, where safety is crucial given the potential human, economic or environmental consequences of failures. Despite some encouraging applications to lightweight components, the implementation of SHM strategies in advanced structures remains challenging. Indeed, in order to combine high stiffness-to-weight ratio with vibro-acoustic requirements these structures frequently involve composites, dissipative materials or periodic patterns to produce desirable response within targeted bandwidths. These new lightweight designs also produce more complex propagative behaviours, such as mode conversions or Bragg resonances, which result in highly scattering waves and increased noise-to-signal ratios. To overcome these limitations, new studies must exploit the remarkable scattering properties of these waves. In this research, a numerical framework will be developed to predict and explore the physics of guided waves’ interaction with commonly encountered structural damages. These interactions, described by frequency-dependent ‘diffusion properties’ will allow the creation of an innovative feature-based characterization technique exploiting the wave conversion phenomenon. The outcomes of this project will result in a new type of wave-based SHM system able to cover the upcoming generation of lightweight components. Undertaking this research with two high-ranking representatives of their fields, along with formal training and mentoring activities will enhance the researcher’s academic profile and scientific experience. It will also provide him with an outstanding content expertise in wave-based methods, structural health monitoring and modelling of lightweight composites.

RhEoVOLUTION proposes a "revolution" in how we define rheology (the equations relating forces to deformation) in geodynamical models. It aims at predicting the onset and evolution of strain localization. Modeling spontaneous ductile strain localization has been impossible so far, because it depends on processes active at the mm scale, which cannot be explicitly simulated in geodynamical models. The tools we designed and propose to develop in RhEoVOLUTION will make it possible. We will bridge scales and model how heterogeneity and anisotropy in the mechanical behavior of rocks control strain localization from the cm to the tens of km scale in the Earth. To do so, we will: 1. describe the heterogeneity of mechanical behavior of rocks deforming by dislocation creep by stochastic parameterizations of the rheology; 2. constrain these parameterizations by experiments with in-situ follow-up of the strain evolution and mesoscale models; 3. accelerate the calculation of the evolution of anisotropy during deformation by using supervised machine-learning; 4. quantify feedbacks between the main processes producing strain localization by comparing the predictions of models parameterized to simulate these processes to observations in natural shear zones. RhEoVOLUTION will empower the geodynamics community with a predictive tool for strain localization. It will provide explanations for localized deformation in intraplate domains and predictions of the evolution of shear zones in extensional and convergent plate margins, enhancing our understanding of the architecture of passive margins and mountain belts. We postulate it will allow modeling the most evident expression of strain localization on Earth: Plate Tectonics, that is still a challenge >50 years after the scientific revolution that established this paradigm. The tools developed in RhEoVOLUTION will also allow predicting ductile strain localization in ice and metals with possible applications in glaciology and metallurgy.
