CORE (Colonial Recipes, Then and Now) investigates how domestic colonial food cultures in the Portuguese empire (1450-1600) reflect the mobility, agency, labour, and knowledge of women and enslaved cooks; and how colonial recipes can create space for more nuanced conversations around colonial heritage. The project takes a ‘global history’ approach to the empire, examining the extent to which the mobility of people, foods, labour, and knowledge between key port cities shaped colonial food cultures. By focusing on domestic spaces, it places women and enslaved cooks, who did the labour of food preparation, centre stage. In this way, the project revalorises domestic spaces as sites of global exchange, which have been largely excluded from studies of global history, as well as insisting on the importance of gender to understand the complexities of the relations between mobility, food, and empire. By spotlighting colonial recipes, CORE will spark new scholarly conversations about the insights these texts offer into: ‘subaltern’ mobility, creativity, and adaptability; the intersecting production of gender, race, and class; and colonial households as the centre of social provisioning and wider infrastructures of empire, examining how new colonial cuisines intersect with colonial regimes of trade, agricultural production, and domestic slavery. It makes three historiographical interventions, namely it: (1) responds to calls to write a global history of the early modern Portuguese empire; (2) brings the ‘new imperial history’ further into dialogue with a history of the Portuguese empire by showing how food illuminates colonial politics, especially negotiations around gender, race, and class; and (3) contributes to public debate around the production of heritage about the colonial past, using colonial recipes to interrogate the multiple valences and contradictions of the empire, and its legacies in the present.

Following a summer where parts of Europe flooded while others burned, this research addresses a fundamentally relevant question: what happens to societies when habitable places become uninhabitable? The large scale effects of anthropogenic climate change are new, but divisions of the world into 'habitable' and 'uninhabitable' regions are not, and have long shaped humanity. My project examines a pivotal part of this longer history by showing how between 1815 and 1914, British and French imperial scientists tried to measure the limits of life on earth in new ways (especially via the new sciences of geology, geography and ecology). There is nevertheless a significant research gap in that previous scholars have generally used intellectual history methods to examine theories of environmental change proposed by elite philosophers based in Europe, rather than addressing the imperial contexts in which this knowledge was made. Bringing an innovative combination of global history and history of science methods to archival sources, my project will close this gap by focusing on Central Asia and Mesopotamia, which became key to investigations into the societal consequences of environmental change (e.g. the movement of the Euphrates river causing cities to be abandoned). Examining the origins of these environmentally determinist imperial categories will simultaneously reveal their problematic legacies today (e.g. the idea of Afghanistan having an inherently 'violent geography'). This research thus aims to place scientific and cultural ideas of 'uninhabitability' into their historical contexts and pioneer 'habitability studies' as an essential interdisciplinary methodology for an age of climate crisis. This will also allow me to enhance my research skills (learning cutting-edge material culture and colonial archive methods) and expand my impact and international profile under the expert mentorship of Prof. Roland Wenzlhuemer to secure an academic position at a European university.

Solubility measurement is a standard test that is required for every chemical that is produced or tested. However, measuring solubility is a time/labour-intensive process that requires substantial quantities of chemicals. State-of-the-Art solubility measurements are either fast but inaccurate or slow but accurate and require excess of chemicals. FASS is based on high-efficiency second harmonic scattering that combines the analytical advantages of current solubility measurements, fast and accurate, while achieving cutting edge performance in sensitivity and reliability. FASS saves 90% of cost, 90% of measurement time, 99% of chemicals and 97% of electricity and 80% of compounds compared to the gold standard. As an optical light scattering technique, FASS is non-destructive, and combined with analytical advantages and sustainable use of chemicals and compounds, provides a disruptive innovation in solubility measurement. The consortium is composed of a dedicated startup to bring the instrument to market, a research and technology organization to support technology maturation, a European Research Consortium to enable customer development and instrument demonstration and a center for pharmaceutical research to explore value-added applications of FASS in drug discovery and development. The goals of the project are: 1) to develop a demonstrator with optimized and robust performance suited for instrument demonstration and application exploration. 2) to validate the technology with early adopters in early stage drug discovery and development and chemical synthesis companies. 3) to develop a feasible business model and go-to-market strategy to be implemented by the startup. FASS brings a sustainable solution to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, reduce chemical and electrical consumption, and through a dedicated startup, will create jobs, foster competition and contribute to the growth of the pharmaceutical industry and the European economy.

Nearfield Instruments (NFI) is the only European organization offering advanced metrology and inspection (M&I) solutions for the semiconductor industry. In a nutshell, NFI develops machines used by chip manufacturers to check the quality of their products. Without M&I machines, the whole microelectronics industry would not exist, and society would be very different from as we know it today. During the EIC project, we will mature the most advanced M&I machine worldwide, called AUDIRA. AUDIRA will be the first and only technology that can perform non-destructive subsurface metrology and inspection, which means that is able to measure through and below multiple layers of the wafer without damaging it. The need for revolutionary M&I systems, like AUDIRA, is a direct consequence of the evolution of semiconductor devices to smaller geometries and more complex multi-level circuitry. The construction of an advanced wafer fabrication facility to manufacture these devices can cost over €5 billion, which is substantially more than previous- generation facilities. Therefore, chipmakers need to increase the yield to maximize the returns from their manufacturing equipment. Hence, the need for advanced M&I machines, like AUDIRA. AUDIRA is at TRL 5 and will be taken to TRL 8 during the EIC project. NFI is a reputed organization in this industry, with over 160+ FTEs and an experienced management board. The Chairman of the NFI Supervisory Board is Eric Meurice, former CEO of ASML. NFI has a large IP portfolio (71 patents, 29 owned and 42 licensed by TNO, the research institute from which NFI spun off), three locations worldwide, and existing commercial relationships with the most prestigious semiconductor companies, including Samsung, Intel, and TSMC. Our company will break even in 2026, and thanks to our high margins, we will cumulate over 1 Bn€ in net income in just three years (2026-28) also thanks to the commercialization of a different, yet related, M&I system called QUADRA.

We propose the logical next step to fulfill the NGI vision of re-imagining and re-engineering the internet. Our overarching goal is to contribute to a future technology stack that reinstates humanist values. We believe this to be vital for a healthy democracy, a level playing field for businesses, technological sovereignty and cross-border collaboration. The fund will have have a major beneficial impact on society and economy: we improve security and robustness of the overall technology supply chain, build human and institutional capacity in an inclusive way, make the transition to a greener tech stack, increases European competitiveness and strategic autonomy, and (re)establish a prominent role for the commons in standards development. Through our efforts we structure and grow the commons at global scale, together with like-minded actors, and support more pro-active policy making. We attract, select and support the right people to work on strategic projects – and through that build up and maintain a coherent portfolio aligned with the overall intervention logic of NGI. We continue to operate the agile, effective and low-threshold funding mechanism of NGI0. The past 5 years this has shown to be capable of serving the global talent pool – allowing anyone to contribute to creating and improving digital commons. We provide multi-disciplinary technical and strategic support from leading domain experts - and thus speed up market readiness. We scale up projects, seeking to mainstream the commons approach everywhere we can. We provide mentorship on open source compatible business models, and set up business circles with successful FOSS entrepreneurs. We provide access to reliable legal infrastructure. Our work contributes to strengthening the European techno-social ecosystem of the commons, and creating a healthy economic underpinning for long term sustainability. Together with our community our goal is to steer towards the internet our societies deserve.

Project PRONOUNCE aims at solving the open question about the need of non-Gaussian quantum correlations (nGQCs) for quantum advantage in photonic quantum computing. Through a diversity of techniques, ranging from stellar rank theory to symplectic geometry and distribution theory, the fellow will first characterize nGQCs that are essential for specific tasks and study them in the specific framework of photon-subtracted multimode Gaussian states (PSMG states). The project is articulated in 3 objectives, OI-III, whose purpose is to characterize and understand the problem from all possible aspects: in OI, the fellow will directly address the issue of resourcefulness of nGQCs, with the main goal of finding instances of tasks that require these correlations for a quantum advantage. In OII he will delve deeper into the theoretical link between non-Gaussianity and quantum correlations, particularly to assess if nGQCs are helpful to remotely generate Wigner negativity and if there is a relationship with quantum steering, as there is for Gaussian states. Finally, in OIII, he will explore the applications of these notions to quantum networks. PRONOUNCE will be carried out at Sorbonne Université, specifically in the Multimode Quantum Optics group of Laboratoire Kastler Brossel and the supervision of Dr. Mattia Walschaers; this is a leading equip in the field of multimode quantum optics, with a remarkable number of theoretical and experimental results scored during the last 30 years, ranging from pioneering studies on squeezed light to more recent investigations and generation of entangled quantum networks with more than 20 light modes. The peculiar mathematical background of the fellow, combined with the expertise of the team on quantum non-Gaussianity, will provide an ideal fit to carry out this ambitious project, whose result will entail a significant step forward in the development of photonic quantum computers with current and near-future technologies.
