The CNRS has a long-term commitment to gender equality. With the creation of a Gender Equality Unit (Mission pour la Place des Femmes) in 2001 and with the endorsement by the CNRS governance of an official Gender Equality Plan (GEP) already in 2014, CNRS was the first organisation in Higher Education and Research in France to commit to structural change. A second GEP has been fully implemented and evaluated during the period 2021-2023. In December 2023, the CNRS validated its new GEP for 2024-2026. By anchoring its gender equality policies in a sustainable contractual framework, by benefiting from dedicated resources and a strong support of the top management, and by developing a network of stakeholders facilitating the implementation of the GEP at all levels, the CNRS has succeeded in creating positive and sustainable institutional change towards gender equality through major achievements. The expertise of the CNRS has also a large impact at the national level. The French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation presented the 2021-2023 GEP of the CNRS as a reference model. CNRS tools, like the e-learning on gender inequalities in research, are being widely disseminated. At the same time, the CNRS Gender Equality Unit strongly contributed to the provision of new knowledge and best practice across Europe by coordinating a Horizon2020 project and participating in two others. In 2022, its GEP was presented as model at a webinar organised by DG Research and Innovation. The expertise of CNRS also serves as an inspirational model at international level. Since a few years specific events and agreements dedicated to gender equality have been set up by CNRS with several third countries, like India, Lebanon, and Japan. In 2022 CNRS organized a high-level conference on “Gender Equality in Higher Education, Research and Innovation: from institutional policies to international cooperation” attended by more than 900 participants from all over the world.

The transformation of the European Process Industry needs to embrace circular economy and restorative feedback loops, as a key pillar of the design of entire value chains. Construction, as a waste-intensive sector, is expected to greatly benefit from the potential impacts of circular economy models, to optimize the use of resources, reduce exploitation of raw materials and costs associated with its supply. In the construction and manufacturing process industries, a key challenge to allow the actual uptake of circular economy models and of upcycled /repurposed and/or recycled materials, lies on the need to guarantee that reclaimed materials can offer the same level of quality, performance, and safety of new secondary products. The aim of CIRCULess, is to contribute to foster circularity in the construction and manufacturing process industries, by minimizing Construction and Demolition waste (C&DW) as well as Manufacturing waste (CDM), with focus on mineral (i.e. concrete) and timber-based material streams, which is aligned with the objectives of the Processes4Planet Partnership, by developing new processes for circularity of secondary materials from wastes/residues for all industrial processes, without compromising quality and performance as well as sustainable-by-design circular products. CIRCULess main objective will be addressed by experimenting new circular products and novel processing techniques to improve the quality and performances of secondary materials up to industry expected standards, improve value chain environmental friendliness, maximize recycled components. These actions will benefit from the support and will provide inputs to a tailored digital platform to orient decision making and operational activities. Finally, to foster uptake by the construction sector, recommendations for standards updates and relevant training material for both upskilling current construction workforce and create new specialized profiles in the sector will be created.

SPACE4Cities will dynamise the uptake of space-based solutions for dynamic use and management of public space. This is an area of smart city development which is currently lagging behind in digital transformation when compared to parallel domains of similar economic and social importance. Cities are at the forefront of fighting today’s grand societal challenges, as they consume 75% of the natural resources, 78% of the world’s energy, produce 50% of the global waste, and emit 60-80% of the greenhouse gases. Yet, they account for less than 2% of the Earth’s surface. Therefore, SPACE4Cities project predominantly targets cities and densely populated regions. Cities face increasing pressure to tackle their climate challenges and to utilise their existing assets more efficiently, while at the same time be more agile in reacting to constant change from climate events and other factors. In effect, cities need to be more dynamic and more resilient. However, currently, cities are not able to manage their public space (on ground and in air) in an agile manner that would adequately support the increasing amount of different types of needs. If the management of areas is to become dynamic, it has to be based on dynamic data assets. This project strives for better, more dynamic management of public spaces, answering a concrete need for cities and regions to be able to adapt to fast-changing requirements for transport infrastructure, open spaces and city maintenance, and to increase their resilience to cope with extreme and disruptive events. Via smart exploitation of space data, the SPACE4Cities project aims to build replicable solutions for the dynamic management of public areas, and a clear roadmap for Europe-wide implementation of such space data-based solutions.
Mitigating Methane Emissions: Quantifying the Impact of EU Methane Regulation on Liquefied Natural Gas and its Pricing (MITIGATE)

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, making its reduction critical for achieving global climate goals. Despite over 150 countries signing the Global Methane Pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030, levels have continued to rise, particularly from the energy sector. In response, the European Union (EU), the world’s largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), implemented the EU Methane Regulation (EU-MER) in 2024 to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector, including imported LNG. However, the effectiveness of these newly enacted regulations, especially when compared to regions with less stringent policies, such as China, remains underexplored. In this context, this project represents a timely interdisciplinary approach that will: 1) conduct a comparative analysis of methane emissions at LNG terminals in Europe and China using field measurements, satellite surveys and advanced data analysis; 2) assess methane emissions from LNG carriers, focusing on factors such as ship age, size and engine type; and 3) evaluate the economic impact of the EU-MER on LNG pricing and market dynamics, while proposing feasible strategies to reduce methane emissions in the LNG sector. Through advanced training, provided by the host, I will deepen my expertise in methane quantification, environmental standards and economic analysis, while developing transferable skills in mentoring, leadership, networking, grant writing and impact development. These skills will be crucial for my growth as an independent and collaborative researcher. By integrating environmental science, engineering and economics, this project will inform policy adjustments, guide industry practices and reinforce the EU’s leadership in climate action, ultimately contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change.

Today, the world’s prisons are home to circa 11.5 million people globally, an increase of more than 27% from 2000. Post-incarceration is a major challenge that reflects and contributes to the broader systemic issues within the criminal justice system, expressed by high recidivism rates. This interdisciplinary project proposes to reframe what spatial assemblies, edifices and policies are necessary on the path from prison, addressing the reentry process using housing as an infrastructure of care, incorporating an abolitionist epistemology. HOUSINGFREEDOM aims to: — Develop an innovative conceptualisation for studying housing in the context of post-incarceration, by conducting a far-reaching study of reentry processes. This approach is designed to overcome limitations in global scholarship on the nexus between post-incarceration life and housing insecurity. — Map and study how can the narratives of the formerly incarcerated people and their housing struggle facing reentry inform practical interventions, shaping more just urban landscapes, under a ‘abolition by design’ approach, also offering incisive policy analysis to informs policy reform. — Provide a solid conceptual, methodological, and empirical foundation for carcerality studies across a vast range of disciplines, through a participatory approach. Methodologically, HOUSINGFREEDOM offers innovative design-based spatial and visual analysis strategies to reimagine spatial justice and decent housing for those who leave incarceration, along mapping and multimodal ethnography. A research-by-design approach to humanize (not criminalize) by design will engage a Community of Practice with those affected by carcerality, centred in Portugal, Belgium and Norway. Radical and ambitious, HOUSINGFREEDOM bridges the gap between these seemingly distinct fields, carcerality and housing instability, by shedding light on the cyclical nature of poverty, crime, and social exclusion.

RNhale aims to establish technical and commercial proof-of-concept for our existing and protected protocols to be transformed into a platform technology with the long-term goal of licensing agreements with large pharmaceutical companies which are equipped for continuous manufacturing of large scales of dry powder RNA formulations. RNhale will assess the commercial positioning of a platform technology for spray-drying RNA nanoparticles (NPs). While RNA medicines have revolutionized how we can address a pandemic, RNA therapeutics have not yet broadly changed patient outcomes but are specifically used for very limited indications due to two main reasons: (i) the high immunogenicity and poor stability of RNA; and (ii) the accumulation of nano-encapsulated RNA in the liver and resulting poor targetability of other organs with RNA-loaded NPs. These shortcomings have been addressed in my current ERC project “Novel Asthma Therapy” by spray-drying polymer-based RNA NPs. RNhale will refine existing protocols for spray-drying RNA NPs made with diverse RNA NPs to overcome current challenges by: 1) improving storage and transport conditions of spray-dried RNA medicines in general; and 2) gaining access to delivery beyond the liver via inhalation delivery to the lung.

LandSeaLot will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation plan. LandSeaLot participants will simultaneously work on improving: in situ and EO capabilities, models to reduce the model/observations gap and the integration of model, in situ and satellite data. Observation capacity will be increased through tested, improved and guided use of low-cost technology by citizens, facilitated by the network of European marinas. The technologies selected will be piloted in Integration Labs (ILs) together with improved and integrated in situ and EO observation techniques and model outputs. LandSeaLot ILs will cover selected areas in the Black, Aegean, Mediterranean, Atlantic, North and Baltic Seas, with a range of catchment, tidal and meteorological regimes. Experts and citizen science leaders will work in the ILs together with JERICO-RI, DANUBIUS-RI and ICOS-ERIC, and with regional policy makers and managers to tailor integrated observations that will provide them with information to manage societal challenges. These will include assessment of the lateral carbon flux and stock, plastics transfer, nutrients impact on primary production and eutrophication, supporting biodiversity conservation, improving modeling capability and supporting climate change adaptation (storm surge, floods, heat waves, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion). Data generated in the ILs will be made FAIR available via EMODnet and interoperability, and semantic solutions for existing, international data flows will be developed. Relevant communities will be engaged by workshops, conferences, training, a high-tech summit and by a communication strategy including videos and policy briefs to ensure LandSeaLot’s legacy.

GEORyder addresses the Space Transportation technologies in support to In-orbit servicing systems subtopic. The geopolitical situation has greatly impacted the ability of Europe to access GEO orbit without Russian Launch. In parallel, smaller newcomers are now proposing services based on microsatellite in GEO. Consequently there is an urgent need to facilitate access to direct GEO for Europe. Additionally, upcoming REACH regulations together with cost constraints will lend weight to the evident necessity for efficient orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs). Space Transportation will find new market & innovation through “In-Space” Logistics. In this context, the GEORyder project proposes a combination of a reusable Kickstage vehicle and OTVs equipped with rendez-vous and refuelling capabilities, allowing cost-effective in-orbit logistics, and providing a greater accessibility and affordability for GEO access for Europe. Notably, it will be using green propellant and will be designed to anticipate future cryogenic storage and transfer logistics. Under the coordination of SME Infinite Orbits (FR) leading the mission design, the vehicle structure and industrialisation will be conducted by Berlin Space Tech. (DE), its propulsion and reusability will be the focus of Dawn Aerospace (NL). Additionally, a cryogenic propellant storage will be developed, with the aim of ensuring a sustainable propellant approach compliant to European Green Deal ambitions and ESA roadmap. Meanwhile, Space Application Services (BE) will manage the refuelling abilities. Deimos (SP) will handle the avionics on agnostic hardware architecture for electronics to ensure the versatility of the vehicle, said-electronics and software will be developed and provided by Skylabs (SL), and Politecnico di Milano (IT) will be focusing on the GNC and Proximity operation for rendez-vous and in-orbit services. Finally, Ariane Space (FR) will ensure the service commercialisation and market analysis.

This project is an anthropological investigation into the division of matrimonial assets in the Malaysian Islamic family law (IFL) from a socio-legal and gendered perspective. The concept of matrimonial assets is not officially recognized in classical Islamic law; rather, it is an adat (customary) tradition long practiced in the Malay Archipelago, where the dominant bilateral system of gender relations accords both spouses mutual access to, and ownership of, the resources jointly acquired during the marriage. This project will first examine the juridical processes and justifications enabling the incorporation of this provision into the IFL, thereby codifying as “Islamic” what actually originated from Malay adat. Second, it will analyze how this provision was translated into practice in the Malaysian Shari’ah judiciary, to understand how it fulfills adat’s original intention to preserve and enhance women’s economic security in precarious marriages such as polygyny. To pursue these lines of inquiry, I will conduct ethnographic and archival fieldwork in a Shari'ah court situated in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan region. The project will include interviews of Malay couples in the process of dividing their matrimonial assets, and archival research into past polygyny applications. The ultimate aim of this research project is to assess whether the Malaysian Shari’ah system is equipped to protect the economic rights of Malay women who earn, own, and add to the acquisition of assets and circulation of resources as an equally important key economic contributor in the marriage.
