Originally introduced by the Caribbean microstate St. Kitts and Nevis in 1984, the possibility of buying citizenship via citizenship-by-investment (CBI) schemes has more recently spread across the Caribbean and to Europe. This proliferation of CBI, the associated commodification of citizenship and migration, the increase in corporate political power and reworking of social inequality are of fundamental importance to Europe and global society. Yet, CBI has received scant scholarly attention and particularly the ‘Citizenship Industry’ – the corporations and industry bodies driving and profiting from CBI – remains largely unexamined. ‘CitIndus’ addresses these gaps. It will explore how corporations effectively created, skilfully perform and arguably control the global citizenship market; illuminate their role in the proliferation of CBI, in shaping global migration regimes and as increasingly influential intermediaries between governments and citizens. Examining the Citizenship Industry will also further our understandings of how citizenship mediates global and local social inequalities and how its commodification reworks these structures of inequality. CitIndus thus advances interdisciplinary social science on citizenship, migration and social inequality. It also meets growing calls to embed migration research more effectively within social theory and advances the conversation between cutting-edge postcolonial and political economy approaches. Methodologically, CitIndus takes the innovative approach of 'following’ the Citizenship Industry, synthesising complementary qualitative methods, including document analysis, interviews, participant observation and qualitative GIS. CitIndus will be supervised by two world-leading experts: Prof Torpey, an authority on citizenship and the state at CUNY, and Prof Jazeel, an authority on postcolonial geography and migration at UCL and its Migration Research Unit, a European hub for migration research.

Half of known exoplanets orbit close to their star, featuring a desert of hot Neptunes whose origins remain uncertain. These planets may have lost their gas atmosphere, eroding into the dust-rich rocky planets found below the desert. Testing this scenario requires deriving accurate mass losses, but a lack of observational tracers prevented us from validating and refining models of escaping atmospheres. The coupling of atmospheric evolution with orbital migration, which can bring planets close to their star in various ways and delay their erosion, also remains to be explored. My work on infrared spectroscopy recently opened a new window into atmospheric escape, complementing traditional ultraviolet observations. I further brought to light an interplay between escape and migration by discovering that two warm Neptunes survive on the edge of the desert despite strong mass loss. I showed from one of these planets' orbital architecture that it migrated recently, triggering its erosion. These breakthroughs highlight the way to determine the origin of the desert: 1) Gathering UV/IR spectra (gas) and Vis/IR photometry (dust) for a representative sample of planets around the desert 2) Developing a self-consistent model of escaping atmosphere, validated by observations, which accounts for dust and gas physics. Interpreting data from 1) with this cutting-edge model will yield accurate mass loss for both gaseous and rocky planets 3) Measuring the sample orbital architectures, and combining them with mass losses for the first time to constrain population syntheses coupling long-term orbital and atmospheric evolution. This ambitious approach, exploiting advanced modeling informed by the most relevant tracers, will unveil the evolutionary tracks of exoplanets and bring insights into their nature. Challenges lie in developing a versatile atmospheric model and acquiring a sufficient sample. We will build upon existing codes, and exploit surveys led by the PI and his collaborators

Cooperation is essential for the functioning of the economy and society. Thus, with inappropriate mechanisms to harness self-interest by aligning it with the common good, the outcome of social and economic interaction can be bleak and even catastrophic. Recent advances in computer technology lead to radical innovation in market design and trading strategies. This creates both, new challenges and exciting opportunities for “engineering cooperation”. This project uses the economic engineering approach (as advocated by Alvin Roth) to address some of the most pressing cooperation problems of modern markets and societies. I propose three work packages, each using innovative experimental methods and (behavioral) game theory in order to address a specific challenge: The first one studies the design of electronic reputation mechanisms that promote cooperation in the digital world. Previous research has shown that mechanisms to promote trust on the Internet are flawed. Yet, there is little empirical and normative guidance on how to repair these systems, and engineer better ones. The second studies the design of mechanisms that avoid arms races for speed in real-time financial and electricity market trading. Traders use algorithmic sniping strategies, even when they are collectively wasteful and seriously threatening market liquidity and stability. Yet, little is known about the robust properties of alternative market designs to eliminate sniping. The third one studies how to design modern markets that align with ethical considerations. People sometimes have a distaste for certain kinds of modern transactions, such as reciprocal kidney exchange and buying pollution rights. Yet, little is known about the underlying nature and robustness of this distaste. My project will generate important knowledge to improve the functioning of modern markets, and at the same time open new horizons in the sciences of cooperation and of “behavioral economic engineering”.

Football (i.e., soccer) is the most influential sport in the world. In order to interact with the environment properly, a football player needs to track the ball, his/her teammates and opponents, and to build and update the comprehension of the fast changing dynamics. From the perspective of cognitive psychology, football playing is an excellent example of a complex dynamic circumstance with stringent time constraints, which requires dynamic tracking and situation awareness (SA). Virtual reality (VR) can simulate real football scenes with the participant immersing in it and seeing from the egocentric view; and VR allows control over the environment and replication of the scenes for experiment and practice. The objective of the project is twofold: to provide a VR tool for assessing and training SA in football practice, and to create the empirical basis for developing a theoretical framework for investigating dynamic tracking and SA in football. The objective will be achieved through 7 work packages (WPs), including a qualitative study exploring how elites perceive and understand football situations (WP3), an experiment using VR to investigate players’ tracking and SA in football scenes (WP5) and an experiment investigate the difference and transformation between the VR egocentric view and the 2D allocentric view (WP6). The project will bring together an interdisciplinary team across Finland, China and Germany, consisting of psychology researchers, a football coach, and specialists in VR, coordinated by the fellow and the supervisor (WP1). The fellow will receive training (WP2) on developing VR football environments and adapting them to experiments by working with the Mixed Reality group in the host and visiting the Realistic Depictions Lab in Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (the secondment, WP4). The outcome of the project will be disseminated as papers and patents, communicated with football practitioners and audience, and applied to football training (WP7).

Gastrointestinal diseases affect more than 70 M of people only in US and many of them, e.g. biliary/pancreatic disorders, can have as a consequence biliary, pancreatic or other duct's narrowing (stenosis). In these cases, there is an urgent need to restore lumen patency and drainage in order to prevent complications (e.g. jaundice, infections, liver disease), and they are often treated long-term by stent placement with an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography). However, ERCP stenting (specially for multiple stents) still represents many potential complications, associated with extended procedural times and multiple cannulations, which increases the side-effects of the procedure and the ERCP and post-ERCP costs. EndoGI medical has developed the first patented multi-stent delivery system for treatment of biliary, pancreatic and urologic stenosis that allows the safe insertion of multiple plastic stents (MPS) in a controlled, secure and single step. It enables the insertion of 2 or more plastic stents in the bile, hepatic or urinary ducts at 1 endoscope passage and with securing the guidewire throughout the procedure. EndoGI system can reduce up to 50% the cost of hospitalization/day, up to 80% the cost of hospitalization derived from post-ERCP pancreatitis and up to 20% the costs of hospitalizations by ischemia, which represents a 64% of reduction in comparison with common procedure using MPS and 2 delivery systems. We have built-up a first prototype and preliminary tested it with human phantoms and pig models, and now we aim to optimize the device, completely validate it in clinical settings, obtain regulatory certifications and launch it to market. We will initially penetrate the non-vascular stents market and focus in biliary stenting to offer savings of ˞€330 M/year only in EU. During Phase 1, we will carry out a detailed feasibility study to evaluate the opportunities our innovation has to disrupt the field and boost EndoGI company growth.

In the ceramic industry, optimization of ceramic body compositions, that is, the selection of raw materials and additives to provide some desired properties, is key to develop successful new products, ensure profitability and reduce environmental impact. However, the traditional process to carry out this optimization, through trial and error, is widely inefficient. The learning process can take two years or more to define optimal body compositions and very often the optimum is never reached. In a context of increasing global competition, long trial and error optimization processes of ceramic body composition is today a great barrier preventing ceramic companies to remain competitive and innovative. NEOSAWARE is the first software solution applying Artificial Intelligence, computer simulation and mathematical optimization to accelerate by an order of magnitude the learning process which leads to optimal ceramic body compositions. By doing this, NEOSAWARE is capable of performing highly accurate predictions on the behaviour of body compositions on ceramic manufacturing processes and final products. It also enables to identify optimal ceramic body compositions to minimize production costs, ensure quality standards and minimize environmental impacts. NEOSAWARE is aimed to boost profitability of a wide range of players along the value chain of the ceramic industry. We expect to accelerate our implementation and international growth led by the commercialization of NEOSAWARE. We envision to reach a sales forecast of €19 million after 5 years of sales, with a ROI of € 4.8.

Banks’ exposures to similar asset groups could become an important source of contagion when combined with interbank network spillovers. The FINREALNET project aims at elaborating a common portfolio network-based stress-test framework that could find application in regular stress-testing exercises carried out by the regulator. Using an innovative DebtRank-based model FINREALNET suggests identifying Systemically Important Real Sectors (SIRS) at the euro area and test stabilizing effects of sector targeting macro-prudential tools. The Project will comparatively assess the resilience of European Banks to losses on common exposures pre- and post- QE, as the structure of overlapping networks is expected to change after the QE. The FINREALNET project is a perfect springboard for the Principal Investigator (PI) through the possibility to build durable research network, and acquire new skills which are complementary to her current expertise. Those new skills include research skills (theory and methodology), operational skills (algorithm writing), project management skills, language skills (German) and new data treatment skills (during the Secondment at the ECB). Moreover, working papers, presentations and recommendations for the regulator will improve the PI’s visibility as a young researcher and contribute to her research career. FINREALNET also builds a solid foundation for future collaborations. Finally, FINREALNET by its training and research program aims at promoting women’s integration in the domain of Economic research where a traditional gender gap persists.

The ARIADNEplus project is the extension of the previous ARIADNE Integrating Activity, which successfully integrated archaeological data infrastructures in Europe, indexing in its registry about 2.000.000 datasets. ARIADNEplus will build on the ARIADNE results, extending and supporting the research community that the previous project created and further developing the relationships with key stakeholders such as the most important European archaeological associations, researchers, heritage professionals, national heritage agencies and so on. The new enlarged partnership of ARIADNEplus covers all of Europe. It now includes leaders in different archaeological domains like palaeoanthropology, bioarchaeology and environmental archaeology as well as other sectors of archaeological sciences, including all periods of human presence from the appearance of hominids to present times. Transnational Activities together with the planned training will further reinforce the presence of ARIADNEplus as a key actor. The technology underlying the project is state-of-art. The ARIADNEplus data infrastructure will be embedded in a cloud that will offer the availability of Virtual Research Environments where data-based archaeological research may be carried out. The project will furthermore develop a Linked Data approach to data discovery. Innovative services will be made available to users, such as visualization, annotation, text mining and geo-temporal data management. Innovative pilots will be developed to test and demonstrate the innovation potential of the ARIADNEplus approach. Fostering innovation will be a key aspect of the project, with dedicated activities led by the project Innovation Manager.

In a world where your competitors are only a click away, customer loyalty really is the new marketing. Indeed, large organisations like big retailers invest millions of euros into loyalty programs. However, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like the bakery in front of your house or the lifelong toy shop that you already visited as a child, cannot invest that sort of money. So how can these SMEs remain competitive facing the all-powerful big companies? Both from the Business-to-Business (B2B) or the Business-to-Customer (B2C) perspective, a mobile loyalty solution like SME LOYALISER builds not only a new sense of affinity between consumers, brands and merchants, but works in line with consumers’ interests. However, the current solutions in the market offer only isolated applications that are not able of smartly interconnect to acquire broader knowledge about the customers and to allow enhanced services. We, bluesource - mobile solutions GmbH, are developing SME LOYALISER, a retailing-customised platform that brings together all players in the retailing chain and applies the latest advances in customers’ data exploitation (predictive and behavioural analysis) in a holistic hub where any kind of company, especially SMEs in the retailing sector, can leverage the benefits of advanced loyalty programs. SME LOYALISER will facilitate implanting loyalty programs and additional services in SME retailing businesses that enables to identify profitable customer behaviour, increase the customer base and drive wallet and loyalty program profitability. This way, we permit SME retailers provide the features of big Internet retailers, fostering the competition and strengthening the SME industrial tissue. With this project, we estimate €14.4 million revenue by 2022 and the generation of 20 new direct job positions, besides another 20-30 indirect ones throughout sales partners and advertising activities.
