LeADS research and educational program trains a new interdisciplinary professional figure that we call Legality Attentive Data Scientist or LeADS. An expert in data science and law expected to work within and across the two disciplines, a leader in bridging scientific skills with the ethico-legal constraints of their operating environment. LeADS will develop a data science capable of maintaining its innovative solutions within the borders of law - by design and by default - and of helping expand the legal frontiers in line with innovation needs, for instance, preventing the enactments of legal rules technologically unattainable. LeADS research will set the theoretical framework and the practical implementation template of a common language for co-processing and joint-controlling key notions for both data scientists and jurists. Its outcomes will produce also a comparative and interdisciplinary lexicon that draws experts from these fields to define important crossover concepts. Through a broad, interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral network of academic and non-academic partners, LeADS will provide a cross-disciplinary training to ESRs who will work as (e.g.) data scientists or researchers in general, sales managers, project or general managers management at private entities (tech companies, consultancies and legal advisories) and public entities (research centres, universities and administration). LeADS answers to the lack of programs blending experiential learning and research in the area, offers an innovative curriculum linked to pioneering research results. It includes 6 interdisciplinary modules, sectoral courses; joint mentoring on individual research projects; TILL modules and Discussion Games to help ESRs develop pioneering soft skills; challenging secondments. Overall, LeADS research and training aims at changing the regulatory and business approach to information while training the experts able to drive the process that every data driven society needs to employ

Amongst all natural products, polyketides constitute a very important class due to their broad spectrum of biological activities (eg. antibiotic, antitumoral, antifungal, antiparasitic). Many of these compounds are referred to as polypropionates, which are characterized by sequences of methyl- and hydroxy-bearing stereogenic centres, enabling large numbers of possible stereochemical permutations. The importance of these natural products as therapeutic agents and as biomedical tools together with their structural complexity has made these molecules attractive targets for synthetic organic chemistry. The key to construct these systems, which posses a high level of stereochemical information, is the control of the absolute and relative stereochemistry of each centre. Herein we propose the development of a novel and general strategy for the synthesis of any polypropionate-like molecule based on the construction of a building block assembly platform. This process will capitalize on the well-established lithiation-borylation methodology so complete control of both relative and absolute stereochemistry of all chiral centres will be achieved. The power of the strategy will be demonstrated in the synthesis of the polypropionate core of the antibiotic Streptovaricin U. The successful development of this research will shortcut the synthesis of stereochemically defined polypropionates combining building blocks of varying length. Moreover, the possibility to modify the stereochemistry of any centre will allow access to all known natural polypropionate fragments and will permit the preparation of non-natural analogues too. The development of such an ambitious and innovative project in the University of Bristol will be facilitated by generating, transferring, sharing and disseminating knowledge, and will enhance my career development following the training plan envisioned.

Correcting misinformation: The role of source (un)trustworthiness on the effects of repetition and contradiction in judgments of information’s truth-value. (MISTRUST)

Every day a vast amount of misinformation and Fake News are repeated and infinitely shared, reaching millions of people in a short time. The large-scale dissemination of misinformation is one of the major challenges that current societies face, with long-lasting costs to individuals and governments. European Commission’s recent efforts in seeking advice from experts regarding measures to counteract disinformation attest to the urgency of addressing this issue. The fact that people tend to believe in information they repeatedly encounter and to reject claims that contradict what they heard before makes misinformation-correction very difficult. Since most correction strategies entail both a repetition of the false claims and their contradiction, they ironically end up strengthening the validity of the misinformation they attempt to correct. It is thus of the utmost importance to examine the mechanisms that may contribute to the development of effective misinformation-correction actions. This proposal contributes to that goal, addressing a novel variable - source (un)trustworthiness - with the potential to influence the effects of repetition and contradiction on perceived information validity. It is hypothesized that providing information about the untrustworthiness of the source of previous false claims will prompt individuals to scrutinize and analyze information more deeply, counteracting the effects of repetition and contradiction (which rely on superficial information processing). This research program will both advance the knowledge in the field and inform future policies to deal with the increasing amount of misinformation that is spread to the public. The researcher conducting the project has the relevant expertise on both the specific field of research and the appropriate experimental methodologies. Additionally, the Host offers a high-quality research and training environment, and the necessary infrastructure for the successful implementation of the project.

Nickel (Ni) is closely associated with export of carbon (C) from the surface ocean to the deep marine environment, as it acts as a micro-nutrient. This makes Ni a big part of the ocean-atmosphere C cycle. There is currently a major gap in our understanding of the marine cycling of Ni, with key input and output fluxes unaccounted for. The work proposed for this Individual Fellowship will (A) bridge this gap, and (B) utilise the resulting knowledge to reconstruct glacial-interglacial variations in Ni isotopes of seawater. To answer these objectives the project is divided into four sections: (1) estuarine production of desorbed Ni as key input of Ni to the ocean, (2) sediment-pore water redox conditions as major sink of Ni in marine sediments, (3) detailed analysis of sediment-pore water interaction in euxinic and ferruginous salt-marsh cores, and (4) changes in the sources and sinks of Ni on glacial-interglacial time scales. Ni has a short residence time in the ocean and is therefore useful for tracking rapid shifts in surface ocean productivity and export of C to the deep sedimentary archive. A record of temporal evolution of Ni stable isotopes from marine sedimentary archives therefore has the potential to elucidate the forces controlling the Earth’s climate on glacial-interglacial timescales. This will be achieved by a multifaceted approach including archived sample analysis, sample collection during internationally collaborative fieldwork campaigns, cutting-edge high-precision isotope analysis and numerical and analytical modelling. The knowledge gained during the fellowship will be instrumental for the exploitation of Ni isotopes as a tool to trace the feedbacks between past climatic variability, primary production and OC burial and preservation.

MagnEFi is a training network of European experts assembled to provide enhanced training and education to early stage researchers on the topic of electric field effects on nanoscale magnetic structures. The goal is to train the next generation to work in this fast rising and key field of GreenIT. Electric fields may be applied to nanoscale magnetic structures in a variety of ways: either directly as a voltage gate, coupled via a ferroelectric or piezoelectric material that strains the nanomagnet, or using light. Addressing the effect of electric fields on the properties of nanoscale magnetic structures has become increasingly important in the search for efficient methods of manipulating nanomagnetism. Research in this area is expected ultimately to lead to ultralow power devices for computation and communication with new functionalities. The consortium that has come together to deliver this training is uniquely qualified to do so, consisting of world-leading experts in condensed matter physics and leading private companies, along with a range of associated partners spanning basic research, machine tool development, industrial and consumer products. The consortium provides a rich training environment that is both international and intersectoral, where the fellows will both study at the cutting edge of science and technology, and also come to appreciate the breadth of the field in terms of its intellectual challenges, commercial concerns and relationship to society’s need for ever more powerful information technologies with a reduced environmental footprint. This will enable them, in their future careers, to contribute to the strengthening of both the European Research Area and the European Information and Communication industry, particularly GreenIT, an especially important and growing sector for EU economic development.

Political consumerism is a bottom up, grass root engagement of concerned citizens. By uniting their individual selves to a collective, the feeling of individual insignificance is transformed into a non-negligible player on the economic market. The diversification of political interests, the intransparent product interrelationships, however, far too often lead to an evaporation of the collective motion, of the rising up of individually aware citizens. The ASSET project develops and tests a pilot solution to pioneer on a new form of political consumerism aiming at empowering the individual to facilitate and to reinforce sustainable consumerism, through better decision-making and networking effects. Leveraging on the innovative combinations of interests by distilling individual and amplifying collective interests and forming collective political consumerism, it serves as an empowerment for the citizen. This crowd-sourced political consumerism builds upon open data, open source, distributed social networking and open hardware. Seizing the full potential of existing mobile communication, it creates collective awareness for political concerns amongst citizens, via integrating network and online collaboration, and collective awareness on economical demands for producers, visualizing mutual interest for sustainable consumption. The pilot solution includes an individually designed product rating system which is seamlessly integrated into the shopping routines. The pilot solution is developed by a multidisciplinary consortium including retail industry, consumer organization, social sciences and ICT centers, and is tested in fields studies with existing communities of people.

The process of species formation is responsible for the global distribution of biodiversity, from the generation of species in habitats as extreme as the arctic or deep-sea thermal vents, to the generations of crop varieties that are locally adapted to different water regimes. Yet, we still understand very little about which genes drive the formation of new species, and what the nature is of selection acting on these genes. Evolutionary genetic studies have traditionally used either experimental hybrids from species that rarely meet in nature, or hybrid zones in uncontrolled conditions, often leading to conflicting conclusions. Here, we integrate both approaches in a single biological system: two grasshopper subspecies that maintain ecomorphologic differentiation despite ongoing hybridization since the end of the last glaciation. First, we will use experimental hybrids to test which genes are associated with reproductive dysfunction. We then use a hybrid zone as a natural laboratory to test if those phenotypes and genes contribute for stable boundaries between the two species in nature. Finally, we use samples distributed over a time series, to test whether those genetic boundaries are stable over evolutionary time. Rooted sound in my background of field- and lab-based methods, this project brings together state of the art genomic methods championed by the Center for GeoGenetics (Denmark), and the multidisciplinary knowledge on this species accumulated by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). By moving from lab to nature and through time, this integrative framework will not only provide unique insights on the field of speciation, but will provide a transferable framework that is applicable to emergent challenges of the modern society, such as identifying genes associated with human diseases and genes underlying adaptation of crop to stringent environments.

The Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is a world leading research institution in which a number of scientists have gained recognition from international panels, including 4 scientific Nobel Prizes and 23 ERC grants. IF@ULB is a comprehensive fellowship programme providing to experienced researchers the opportunity to conduct frontier research and receive diversified training and career guidance in an environment of scientific excellence with state-of-the-art facilities. Under the supervision of renowned academics, IF@ULB fellows will benefit from an extensive collaboration network with academic and non-academic institutions and the continuous support of the ULB administration. IF@ULB will propose three calls within a five-year programme. To impact the post-doctoral policy as widely as possible in the host institution, the project will be open to all fields of research. The recruitment will be organised through three panels: Social Sciences and Humanities, Physical and Engineering Sciences, and Life Sciences. For each call and each panel, IF@ULB will offer to fund 7 experienced researchers for their two-year projects, which amounts to 126 fellowship-years during the action. The proposed selection will be based on the practices implemented in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships and will comprise the following elements: support from a ULB academic staff member, a three-stage evaluation procedure on the basis of three evaluation criteria (excellence, impact, implementation) and a final ranking by the corresponding thematic panel. Moreover, IF@ULB proposes a comprehensive communication and dissemination plan at programme and project level. IF@ULB’s aim is to reinforce the international character of ULB by building up current experience on international fellowship programmes, to establish its role as a reference in research and training activities in Belgium and Europe, and thereby to strengthen human resources at both national and European levels.
