The core objective of PREPARED is to support the next generation of experienced disability rights researchers to develop an evidence base for disability-inclusive policy responses. Since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006, there has been a rapid global expansion of legislation and policy on the rights of disabled people. However, in developing policy to respond to the most urgent crises of our time, including climate crises, forced migration, armed conflict, and refugee crises disabled people are often left behind. While the obligations on States under human rights law are clear, most governments are struggling to understand how to implement these obligations in a disability-inclusive manner. PREPARED will recruit 6 Experienced Researchers to complete 36month fellowships. We will run an open, merit-based competition for the applicants from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to design, technology, communications, politics, sociology, economics, and law founded on international peer review. As a world leader in excellent and impactful disability rights scholarship, the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at the University of Galway is uniquely positioned to ensure PREPARED makes lasting contributions to policy development at the national, European and global levels. Experienced researchers will be embedded in our global networks and working directly with civil society leaders in our non-academic partners such as DRF, Inclusion Int., CBM, and EDF. They will also be seconded within government departments and state agencies where they are most needed to design, implement and monitor progress in achieving the goals of disability-responsive laws and policies. This will provide researchers with unique opportunities to influence policy development at the heart of progress, enabling them to further their careers in academia, in Progressive Research to Enable Policy Action to Respond & Educate on Disability

Almost 75% of the EU's existing residential building is energy inefficient. However, currently, only about 1% of the existing residential building is renovated each year. Although some studies have considered using shallow geothermal to provide heating/cooling to promote the deep energy-saving renovation of existing residential buildings, there is still a small-scale and low renovation rate in practice. The main reasons include residents' lack of cooperation, high investment costs, unawareness of technology, low subsidies, ineffective incentives, lack of motivation from technology & services suppliers, low-profit margins, market & institutional barriers, etc. This project aims to develop an efficient incentive mechanism of promoting shallow geothermal heating/cooling for existing residential buildings (SGHCERB) to improve its low energy-saving renovation rate in the EU. First, this project will investigate the potential cooperation willingness, and driving forces of different stakeholders (i.e., governments, technology & services suppliers, and householders) for promoting SGHCERB from a European perspective. Then, this project will develop a novel multi-agent behavioral game model that can satisfy all involved stakeholders to achieve win-win cooperation. This model will form this basis for the efficient incentive mechanisms that can simultaneously promote SGHCERB and achieve the benefits balance for different stakeholders. In addition, this project will provide specific policy optimization suggestions for local governments to improve the overall implementation efficiency of SGHCERB in accordance with local conditions. This project will help to speed up the EU in achieving CO2 emission target proposed in the Climate & Energy Framework for 2030.

Rapid advances in sequencing are making an unprecedented amount of genomic data available from diverse organisms. However, theoretical and statistical frameworks for analysing sequences lag far behind, yet are crucial for identifying functionally important regions of the genome and predicting their contributions to key traits, e.g., disease risk in humans, yield in crops and environmental maladaptation in endangered populations. While numerous tools of genomic prediction, notably Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), have been developed in recent years, a common and unsolved challenge is to disentangle the effects of different evolutionary processes on genomic variation. In particular, genetic differences between groups of individuals may reflect either natural selection (typically on highly polygenic traits) or spatial population structure (i.e., limited exchange of individuals and genes between geographically distant groups) or both. Moreover, both selection and population structure generate correlations along the genome, making it difficult to pinpoint individual genetic variants that affect traits. To address these challenges, we will develop new theory (based on mathematical analysis and computation) to understand polygenic adaptation across space, focusing on how sequence variation is shaped by: (i) the genetic architecture of selected traits i.e., the numbers, effects and genomic distribution of variants influencing a trait (Aim 1), and (ii) and the spatial distribution of populations (Aim 2). We will build upon this to investigate if/how selection and population structure can be disentangled in GWAS, and how selection affects the power of GWAS and the portability of GWAS findings across different populations (Aim 3). Such theory is essential and timely- both for understanding fundamental evolutionary questions as well as harnessing the full potential of genomics and GWAS for personalised medicine, agriculture and conservation.

The SOLAR-MOVE project aims to contribute to the massive adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) minimizing their impact in the power grid by proposing solutions for different Vehicles Integrated Photovoltaic (VIPV) ecosystems: i) VIPV in cities, ii) VIPV in residential and service buildings, iii) VIPV in passenger transportation and iv) VIPV in highways. The SOLAR-MOVE will follow three main targets: i) increase the range of the VIPV in 5 to 10 km/day compared to normal EVs; ii) reduce the dependency on the grid (energy provided by the grid) from 20 to 50 %, depending on the eco-system; and iii) create solutions with positive Net Present Value. To achieve these goals the consortium - comprised by 34 partners across 16 countries - will develop innovative VIPV solutions, including tools to be integrated in VIPV; VIPV prototypes (Heavy-duty vehicles with PV in the trailer, garbage trucks, passenger buses, last-mile delivery and motorhome); VIPV Use Optimisation solutions to maximise the range of the VIPVs; and ePIPV (charging stations with PVs) for diverse applications (in highways, opportunity charging for eBus, ePIPVs at municipality level, public ePIPV in commercial areas and private ePIPVs). The solutions will be demonstrated in six pilots across Denmark (VIPV:heavy Duty vehiles, ePIPV parking lot for trucks in highways), Greece (VIPV: Garbage Truck, ePIPV: Management of ePIPV at municipality level), Turkey (VIPV: Passenger Bus, ePIPV: Management of ePIPV Opportunity charging), Portugal (VIPV: Last mile delivery, ePIPV: Management of public ePIPV), Albania (ePIPV; Management of private ePIPV) and Slovenia (VIPV:Motorhome). The findings will contribute to the elaboration of policy recomendations to support the adoption of VIPV and ePIPV, guidelines for municipalities to simplify the procurement process for VIPS and ePIPVs solutions and regulatory frameworks and incentives to facilitate the mass deployment of these technologies.

The growing interest in marine renewable energy and ocean-related human activities are the main causes of an alarming increase of the noise level in the oceans and seas. Nevertheless, the performance of underwater noise mitigation systems has since long been (and still is) limited by the fact that dissipation in linear systems is inherently poor at the sub-wavelength scale. Consequently, a viable solution to attenuate underwater waves over low, broadband, and multiple frequencies does not exist, yet. POSEIDON aims to tackle the intrinsic reasons for such a scientific / technological delay and declares an ambitious goal: to develop a new class of meta-screens allowing zero-transmission / zero-radiation over low and broadband frequencies exploiting rather than avoiding complexities stemming from heavy-fluid/structure interaction and exhibiting practical structural requirements, such as being compact, lightweight, and efficient under hydrostatic pressure. POSEIDON will take the risk of exploring two unconventional and ground-breaking approaches in the challenging context of extremely sub-wavelength underwater acoustics to design a new class of metamaterials allowing unprecedented low and broadband wave reflectivity and absorption: 1) anti-auxetic underwater metamaterials, exploring the intimate relationship between the micro-structure and the macroscopic vibrational properties of a multi-scale metamaterial immersed in a heavy-fluid and exhibiting Poisson's ratios > 0.5. 2) topologically protected and impedance adapted underwater metamaterials, assigning crystalline properties to non-crystalline materials by breaking precise classes of symmetries over multiple length scales. Both approaches are supported by the innovative assumption that (3) underwater wave control through metamaterials be already exploited by Nature. If successful, POSEIDON will fill the gap in the knowledge of underwater acoustics and significantly advance the frontiers of bottom-up material design.

Quantum information provides a unifying theoretical concept for condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, information processing, cosmology, and other natural sciences. Processing quantum information is an emerging experimental frontier, but decoherence and scale limit our ability to gain a practical quantum advantage (noisy intermediate-scale quantum, 'NISQ' era). Ultracold atoms in optical lattices exhibit excellent prerequisites for building highly coherent and scalable quantum hardware, as evidenced by their use in optical clocks and atom interferometers. Yet, quantum processing in optical lattices has so far been limited by restricted programmability and qubit connectivity. PumpQIN aims at establishing a universal quantum processing architecture based on topological pumping and controlled collisions between ultracold atoms in optical lattices. A topological pump can be considered a bidirectional, dispersionless, and robustly quantised method for programming atomic motion. Collisions between atoms can thus be configured in time and space, realising coherent two-qubit gates. Milestones of this project include 1) local control over topological pump trajectories, 2) the realisation of a universal quantum processor with motionally coherent bosons, as well as 3) fermionic quantum processing. These objectives will be achieved by constructing a novel quantum gas apparatus with rubidium and potassium atoms. The results of PumpQIN will not only redefine how we think about atoms in optical lattices, but also lead the way towards a 'beyond-NISQ' era. Especially the realisation fermionic processing will establish an interdisciplinary frontier in experimental quantum information science with immediate implications for condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry.

Most cases of gastric cancer (GC) are detected at a late stage, when patients have a median life expectancy of about a year. Diagnosing people at risk of developing GC at the pre-symptomatic stage, typically chronic gastric inflammation, could significantly improve the outlook. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help clinicians make sense of their own data by automating much of the treatment and analysis, which require manual work and years of experience. But it can do more: it can bring together available data from various sources into a vast data lake and cross-correlate the data to derive a ‘risk score’ for gastric cancer and shed light on the mechanisms of its evolution. Aida aims to do just that. It helps researchers understand the mechanisms that trigger gastric oncogenesis, helps clinicians diagnose precancerous inflammation at the earliest possible stage, suggests personalised therapeutic strategies for treatment and follow-up, and makes personalised recommendations for monitoring patient health status, thus contributing to gastric cancer prevention. This places Aida squarely on Europe’s agenda of ‘Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society’. Aida unites some of Europe’s leading authorities in the field of gastric inflammation, gastric cancer, leading AI and machine learning experts, experts on data governance and privacy, representatives of the public administration and patient advocates. Aida also has strong ties with the industry. After the project, the results will live on in an association that acts as a transnational focal point for chronic gastric inflammation — and GC in general. We hope that the solid, inclusive design principles of Aida, its societal relevance and its durability will spawn a vigorous ecosystem around chronic gastric inflammation, its understanding and its treatment. And we hope that it will inspire other data collaboratives in health — for other chronic inflammations, other forms of cancer or other ailments altogether.

The aim of this project is to study oneiric sequences in Hispanic theatre of the 16th and 17th centuries as a representative dramatic mechanism of the Early Modern period. Dream and sleeping scenes played a central role in numerous plays of the Spanish Renaissance and Baroque (also known as "Golden Age"), because they enabled the creation of sophisticated plots, complex characters and visually stunning spectacles. Considering this, the project intends to document and theorise this phenomenon by proposing a key concept: the "theatrical dream device". The proposal is based on a novel and interdisciplinary methodological framework, which involves approaches from literary hermeneutics, theatrical semiotics and art history. The study will examine a corpus of plays composed between 1598 and 1693, written by playwrights such as Lope de Vega, the Count of Villamediana and Calderón de la Barca, among others. The project will be working with dramatic texts, but also with archive sources, historical testimonies and graphic works, such as manuscripts, old printed editions, engravings and records of the time. It is planned that the research outputs will be made available in the form of two products. The first will be a monograph to be published in open access, which aims to contribute to the field of Humanities by making a significant advance in the understanding of Early Modern European literature and theatre. The second product will be an online exhibition targeted at a non-specialist audience, mainly EU citizens related to the sectors of culture, education and artistic creation. This exhibition will display texts, images and documentation using a cutting-edge method from the Digital Humanities, which will allow to translate and adapt the scientific research results into an interactive, attractive and 21st century format. The exhibition will contribute to the preservation and awareness of a cultural heritage that is difficult to access and unknown outside specialist circles.
