Interdisciplinary research shows that our lineage survived while all other human species went extinct because our ancestors used their creative capacity to reshape the threats and opportunities of their environments, in turn reshaping themselves. As our world and working environments become increasingly dynamic, uncertain, and knowledge based, organizations and social challenges depend on creative ideas and creative resilience from employees, young people and entrepreneurs. As Teressa Amabile posits “only by using multiple lenses simultaneously, looking across levels, and thinking about creativity systematically, will we be able to unlock and use its secrets. What we need now….is to tie together and make sense of the diversity of perspectives found in the literature – from the innermost neurological level to the outermost cultural level”. A growing body of empirical work suggests that giving to others and perceiving that we, as humans, have positive impact though our work is beneficial for own resilience, well-being and creative nature (Martela & Ryan, 2016, Eshel et al., 2017). MUSES is aiming to moving away from the cognitive-behavioral dichotomy and by adopting a more systemic approach focus on the rewarding/motivational effect of perceived social impact and aims at capturing patterns of proactive & creatively resilient behavior of different samples where rewards are not absolutely institutionalized and thus are of lower importance whereas motivation is the key & dominant element. Thus, MUSE aims to research the relationship between prosocial & autonomous motivation (perceived social impact & affective commitment to the welfare of the beneficiaries), and resilience creativity in different contexts (employees, students, doctors, artists & volunteers). Our research aims at offering insights and important practical implications on how contextual factors can boost autonomous and prosocial motivation and thus lead to a more creatively reliant workforce/organisation

The previous decade witnessed a wave of innovative approaches to democratic public ownership at the municipal scale. Rather than a paternalistic provider of services, such approaches – diverse in both form and application – variously recast the (local) state in a more facilitatory or partnership role, promoting participatory co-governance and/or co-ownership of resources and assets. This research aims to establish whether such innovations embody a new form of 'prefigurative state thinking' that is fundamentally reworking, and requires new theories of, the relationship between civil society and the state. The objectives of the research include: 1. To develop an evidence-led typology of municipalist innovations in democratic public ownership 2. To determine (if and) how innovations in public ownership contribute to a ‘feminisation’ and ‘democratisation’ of urban life 3. To provide theoretical understandings of the changing relationship between civil society and the state 4. To identify and elaborate upon evidence-led design principles for feminised and democratised public ownership 5. To return and disseminate results to stakeholders and policy-makers, and pursue policy orientated impact The project will utilise a qualitative comparative research approach across two phases. The first phase is a secondary analysis of the Transnational Institute's (TNI) 'International Database of De-privatised Public Services', with a focus on developing a) a propositional typology of democratic municipal innovations; and b) identifying exemplar cases for primary research. The second phase will include primary research of exemplar cases, including co-identified cases in the host city. The fellowship includes a 6-month secondment at TNI as an integral part of the research. The fellowship will deliver policy impact in-line with the European Commission’s 2019-2024 priority areas and the UN’s New Urban Agenda commitment to expanding ‘meaningful participation in decision-making'.

The PNOWWA project will produce methods for the probabilistic short-term forecasting of winter weather and enable the assessment of the uncertainty in the ground part of 4D trajectories. 4D trajectory management is a necessary concept to meet future growth in air traffic; probabilistic forecasts will be used in ATM applications to support operational planning in surface management and ATM decision making, thereby increasing airport capacity, shortening delays and promoting safety. PNOWWA will demonstrate very short-term (0-3h, "nowcast") probabilistic winter weather forecasts in 15min time resolution based on an extrapolation of movement of weather radar echoes and improve predictability of changes in snowfall intensity caused by underlying terrain (such as mountains and seas). Research demonstrations are conducted both offline and online at the Operative User Environment (OUE) site representing influence of the underlying terrain to forecast accuracy. An extensive user consultation will analyze needs to ensure products are suitable to be integrated in various applications on the ATM side. The adjustment to user needs will cover the most relevant parameters (visibility, intensity and snow depth) and operationally important thresholds of the selected parameters (e.g. heavy snowfall). The PNOWWA project has linkages to completed work in ongoing EU SESAR1 program, where FMI developed Step 1 (Time Based Operations) winter weather solutions based on deterministic forecasts to local OUE. The initial concept of short-range snowfall forecasts improvement with usage of weather radar has been validated in that context, and the second phase solutions (Step 2: Trajectory-based Operations) will be developed in EU SESAR 2020 program. The proposed PNOWWA project will develop the methods for deducing probability forecasts of winter weather required by SESAR 2020. PNOWWA project will also deliver a roadmap towards implementation with connection points in future SESAR projects.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a widely studied inorganic compound very abundant in nature as a mineral and a biomineral. It is an important building block of biological bodies, making up the structure of invertebrate organisms. CaCO3 is also a key compound for CO2 sequestration strategies. Recent investigations have reported a so-called non-classical pathway for CaCO3 formation, which involves the formation of an amorphous precursor: amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which acts as an intermediate in the formation of the final CaCO3 crystalline polymorphs (calcite and aragonite). This has been reported for biominerals such as the sea urchin spicules, which are made of calcite and the shells of Haliotis tuberculata made of aragonite. However, despite these advances on the characterization of the amorphous precursor, little is known about the polymorph selection mechanism. Amorphous carbonates have also been discovered in several strains of cyanobacteria some of these cyanobacteria mineralize CaCO3 internally even in solutions that are under-saturated with respect to all CaCO3 polymorphs. These cyanobacteria have the ability of concentrating elements from the culture medium in the amorphous carbonates. They have also shown chemical selectivity, and interesting core-shell chemical distributions of some ions such as Ba2+, Ca2+ and Sr2+. These carbonates may serve as a storage reservoir of Ca and inorganic C for the cells if they can be stable on one hand under certain conditions but easily remobilizable as well on the other hand. However, the structural characteristics of these carbonate formations inclusions and their impact on the crystallization pathway are poorly known. Therefore, the goal of this project is to shed light into the role of the AAC in the (bio)mineralization process. This aim will be tackled under two approaches abiotic and biogenic induced conditions, which correspond to the two different parts proposed for the development of this project.

A critical need in cancer care is the possibility to monitor tumour progression, through non-invasive techniques, to recognize relapses and/or metastases at a very early stage. The measurement of tumour biomarkers circulating into the bloodstream is a feasible way, as it can give indications also on patients’ response to therapeutic treatments, thus enabling the oncologist to pursue a precision-medicine strategy. In patients affected by breast and colon cancer, most serum biomarkers employed in the clinical practice have poor specificity and sensitivity to be used as monitoring tool of the cancer progression. Oncoxx Biotech has collected strong experimental data demonstrating that the transmembrane receptor Trop-2 drives progression of several tumour types. It has also been shown that Trop-2 is a determinant of breast cancer survival, and it is released in the bloodstream in patients with breast and colorectal cancer. In this respect, the results achieved in a preliminary clinical study have shown that all higher-than-baseline levels of circulating Trop-2 identify breast cancers with 100% specificity and 80% sensitivity and colon cancer with 100% of specificity and 74% of sensitivity. Therefore, scope of the ThruBlood project is to validate Trop-2 as a serum biomarker for monitoring disease-course in patients with breast and colon cancer. During Phase 1 we will: 1) assess the scientific feasibility of the proposed biomarker by extending the population of serum samples to analyse; 2) design the Clinical Validation Study to pursue in Phase2; 3) validate a standardized procedure for accurate measurement of the serum Trop-2 levels using a proprietary device (ICONA, patented by the applicant) with aim of providing high-throughput procedures for serum biomarker detection; 4) analyse and validate the business opportunity represented by the introduction of the ThruBlood assay in the current procedure adopted for surveillance of cancer diagnosed and treated patients.

The joint Exchange programme is based on a research proposal finalized at strengthening the regional capabilities in triggering, implementing and managing Transition Management (TM) strategies towards driving “resilience-building” processes. The main aim is to combine Transition with Resilience for Evolutionary Development (TREND) of different territorial contexts. It is expected to produce a novel concept encompassing “resilience-building” processes and Transition Management strategies based on the Evolutionary Economy’s assumptions. The TREND analysis will draft from the preceding MAPS-LED project, which pointed out the territorial dimension of the innovation. As an outcome, three levels of spatial investigation are distinguished within the EU-US broader contexts: I) Internal areas, II) Leading regions, III) Regions in transition. Moreover, the diagnosis will assess the potential drivers of TM strategies including: I) territorial milieu, as successful factor assessed in preceding MAPS-LED and CLUDS projects; ii) resilience, conceived as the ability of systems –people, communities, ecosystems, nations – to generate new ways of operating new systemic relationships; iii) crisis, which hit local defined areas, conceived as opportunities, including: migration flows and economic crisis. Relying on the strong existing CLUDs research network and its International Doctorate URED, the TREND project is expected to add value to the current knowledge about regional economic diversification. By moving forward the MAPS-LED project’s outcomes concerning the Entrepreneurial Discovery Process (EDP) and the Knowledge Based Urban Regeneration (KBUR), the TREND will provide the Open Access Toolkit: a web platform accessible by community users, policy makers, investors and financial stakeholders. The Open Access Toolkit will provide a set of indicators regarding 1) context, 2) result, 3) performance as metrics of resilience-building process within TM strategies.

LightMe project targets on the setting up of a self-sustainable open innovation ecosystem for the upscaling of industrial processes concerning lightweight metal alloys (aluminum, magnesium and titanium) composites. It is evident that although the last two decades a high number of research projects has been dedicated in the development of new composite lightweight metals for industrial applications (e.g. according to Scopus, more than 1000 publications concerns this field in the last 5 years), only a very limited number of such cases has been finally commercialized and reached the market end users. There are many reasons that these technologies have not been adopted by the market (e.g. lack of funding for further development and upscaling and the unwillingness of end users to adopt in their processes non-validated and non-standardized technologies) and this phenomenon is usually described as ‘valley of death’. LightMe project aspires to overcome these barriers by offering an open innovation ecosystem, in which technologies that have been developed up to TRL4-5 will be able to be upscaled and validated up to TRL 7.

The EU-28 total waste generation in 2014 was 2598M tones, the highest since 2004, 33.5% of which was from the construction sector, being also one of the larger consumers of inorganic raw materials. Construction activities are mainly localized in urban areas where by 2050 about 86% of the developed world is expected to live. CINDERELLA project aims to develop a new Circular Economy Business Model (CEBM) for use of secondary raw materials (SRM) in urban areas, connecting different industries, the construction sector and municipal services, decision makers and the general public with the support of CinderOSS, a “One-Stop-Shop” service, articulated in (i) an on-line ICT platform for tracking and modelling the urban waste-to-product flows, on-line marketing and sharing knowledge and information along the value chain (ii) production and marketing of (SRM) based construction products and (iii) building with SRM based construction products supported by building information modelling (BIM). Different streams of waste will be exploited in the project, i.e. construction and demolition waste, industrial wastes, heavy fraction from municipal solid waste and sewage sludge, mostly of them currently landfilled and/or incinerated. Their suitability for use for building materials will be demonstrated through large scale demonstration activities in Slovenia, Croatia and Spain while the ICT platform will be demonstrated in Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Poland, Italy and The Netherlands. The project will contribute to 20% reduction of environmental impacts along the value and supply chain, reducing virgin material exploitation and converting wastes to products. Sustainability of CEBM will be proven with the environmental, economic and social assessment through whole life (LCA, LCC and S-LCA). The pre-feasibility analysis of the proposed CEBM indicates an increase of recycling by 30% of CDW, 13% of industrial waste, 100% of heavy fraction and 25% of sewage sludge with a net profit of 18%.

INTAKE (integrated nanocomposites for thermal and kinetic energy harvesting) is an inter/multidisciplinary research focused exchange and training programme that brings together researchers from various disciplines (engineering, physics and social science) with expertise spanning across energy harvesting, nanomaterials, micro/nanotechnology, functional composites, manufacturing and socioeconomic development. The network is specifically designed to foster an inter/multidisciplinary outlook in order to embed socioeconomic awareness and sustainability considerations within the research culture. INTAKE’s innovation vision aims to achieve a step change towards the next generation of hybrid energy harvesting nanocomposites, which can be integrated into lightweight and ultra-strong structural composites at the nanoscopic level. This would infuse composite laminates with inherent intelligent functionalities (such as energy harvesting, sensing and wireless communication), without noticeable alterations or adverse effects to the macroscopic structural properties. The resulting smart multifunctional composite material will have immense socioeconomic benefits to Europe and the world, as it can help to improve productivity and safety, while reducing operating costs and carbon footprint. This can then serve as a fundamental building block for numerous future engineering systems across the transport, energy, medical, space, utilities and infrastructure sectors. INTAKE consists of 4 European partners (in the UK, Hungary and Poland) and 4 Asian partners (in China and Japan). The network will help nurture the next generation of creative, highly skilled and socially responsible young researchers for the European innovation sectors. INTAKE will forge a mutually beneficial collaboration platform for energy harvesting, composites and nanotechnology researchers between Europe and Asia, which can be morphed into a worldwide network in the long-term.
