In Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country, a so-called mediated “eco-jihad” (Zbidi 2013) has emerged. Today, Islamic ‘green’ pop musicians, eco-YouTube-imams, films, and social media (campaigns) find inspiration in religious scriptures to encourage Muslims to engage in environmental protection. For eco-conscious Muslims, the Qur’an is “the ultimate green-guide”. (Zaufishan 2013) The Qur’an is read by Muslims for spirituality, but the Qur’an also provides countless examples that could be read as “an Islamic call to combat climate change”. (Zaufishan 2013) Indonesian cultural producers are now “acting on these historic edicts with an eye toward the consequences of global warming for the world’s most populous Muslim country”. (Bodetti 2018) Taking Indonesia as a case study and focusing on the main outlets of Islamic eco-cultural discourse (film, TV, popular music, social media), this project aims to investigate an Islamic eco-cultural approach to climate change. EcoIslam asks: What does an Indonesian Islamic eco-cultural approach to climate change entail and how is it developed, negotiated, and contested? Through a multi-method research design and a conceptual approach that draws on an ‘affective eco-governmentality of care’, the project analyzes three levels (institutions, texts, publics) through four work packages. The project analyzes (level 1, work package 1: institutions) how Islamic institutions play a key role in the development of Islamic eco-media; (level 2, work package 2: texts) how subjects are affectively addressed as ‘caring’ eco-conscious Muslim citizens – as khala’ifa of the earth – by these media ‘texts’ (i.e. media products); (level 3, work package 3: publics) how people negotiate specific ‘green’ ‘Islamic’ subject positions through their engagement with media texts; and (synthesis, work package 4: relations) how institutions, texts, and publics relate.

Data is being generated at ever-increasing rates with the widespread digital transformation in businesses and society. The continually increasing demand for affordable data storage puts tremendous pressure on storage technologies. New concepts for low-cost, high-storage-density memories are urgently needed to keep storage capabilities in line with the growing demand. FastComet is a colloidal memory concept in which colloidal nanoparticles are considered data carriers. The memory consists of a large array of nanocapillaries in which two types of nanoparticles with antagonistic electrophoresis (DEP) properties can be selectively inserted into the capillary by DEP forces. Data can be stored as the specific stacking sequence of the different particle types. A CMOS circuit at the periphery of the array addresses and controls the electrodes. The long-term aim is to develop an integrated device that is able to store data using nanoparticles smaller than 15 nm. This would ultimately result in ultra-high bit densities exceeding 100 Gbit per square millimeter and potentially reaching 1 Tbit square millimeter at a lower cost than existing data storage technologies. In the FastComet project, we aim to establish a proof-of-concept for colloidal memory by identifying suitable nanoparticles, developing nanofabricated test structures, using advanced nanoscopy imaging techniques to demonstrate the selective manipulation of nanoparticles into passive nanocapillary arrays, and establishing a modeling framework for future technology development.

ENHANCING R&I SYNERGIES FOR SCHOOLS OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS project, or RIS4SEB, is a proposal for the Pathways to synergies call, selecting the a) Upstream synergy mode (focusing on HR development and internalization). The RIS4SEB project creates a synergy for the widening project partners (Prague University of Economics and Business, Kaunas University of Technology, and Estonian Business School) who were previously successful in obtaining ERDF, Interreg, or similar indirect EU projects in cooperation with a highly experienced non-widening partner, the Bocconi University, building a pathway towards increased success in international research projects such as within the Horizon Europe (HE) programme. To this end, based on an analysis of widening countries low integration into ERA, the consortium chooses to focus on the research areas of economics and business, with the project partners all being either economics and business universities or schools / faculties. The project overall objective is to design and pilot three strategies aiming at enabling and facilitating effective synergies between Horizon Europe and other national/regional funds, by strengthening Internationalization of R&I widening actors, developing Human Resources, and improving Research management capacity and overall competitiveness of the widening partners. RIS4SEB will achieve this objective via supplementary capacity-building activities, such as networks, infrastructures, upskilling of research managers and researchers and research proposal pipelines and clinics, resulting in submitting of at least 4 HE projects.

LEAF (New Farmers Leading Eco-friendly Agricultural Futures) is a research project that explores the motivations, challenges, and enabling factors driving young farmers to adopt agroecological practices. Focusing on Denmark, it aims to understand the barriers young farmers face in generational renewal and the adoption of sustainable farming methods. With only 12% of European farm managers under 40, and a significant gender imbalance, the project also seeks to identify how public policies, particularly the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), can better support this new generation of farmers, with attention to gender-specific needs. LEAF is an interdisciplinary research project combining social science and ecology. It uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to engage directly with young Danish farmers. Through participatory interviews and workshops, the project aims to gather insights into their motivations and obstacles, such as technical knowledge gaps, financial constraints, and limited market access. The findings will be enriched through a review of relevant literature and an analysis of CAP policies. The project will generate practical outputs, including guidelines for young farmers and policy recommendations to foster agroecology and support generational renewal. These insights will help shape more inclusive and effective European agricultural policies, ensuring that both male and female farmers are equipped to transition toward more sustainable, eco-friendly farming practices. Through LEAF, a nuanced understanding of young farmers' socio-economic and policy challenges will emerge, providing valuable guidance for future agricultural strategies. This research has the potential to significantly impact the future of farming, promoting long-term sustainability and gender equity in the agricultural sector.

The TRADES doctoral training network aims to address a skills gap in the photonics sector by training a cohort of 15 doctoral candidates with the advanced skills necessary for the development of innovative and enabling photonics components. The network will deliver a research and training programme focussed on key steps in product development from concept, through sustainable production and precise characterisation, right up to implementation, and will equip the doctoral candidates with the interdisciplinary skills necessary to drive the research forward. The network fellows will design and develop robust dispersive components based on sub-wavelength gratings waveguide structures to produce gratings for both intra-cavity and extra-cavity applications in high power lasers operating in the 1 and 2 µm spectral regions. To do so the fellows will push state of the art deposition, lithographic and etching techniques to their limits, and explore how they can be used to optimise the manufacturability, efficiency (>99.9%) and LIDT > 1J/cm2 for sub-ps pulses, of the final gratings. In parallel the fellows will be provided with non-academic research exposure and training in innovation management, enterprise and entrepreneurship in a highly integrated format beyond the normal generic skills training. This will contribute to producing highly sought after graduates, who are capable of inventing, innovating and converting knowledge into products and services for economic benefit and are fluent in the business planning and innovation management aspects of their research. Preparing them for future careers in photonic technology research and development.

The SALVUS (Ensuring SAfer justice outcomes in onLine and undercoVer child sexUal abuse inveStigations) Project seeks to address the current gaps in knowledge, best practice and legislative frameworks in relation to online, including undercover, CSA investigations and build on this and existing knowledge to develop a holistic suite of innovative, recommendations, best practice guidance and training to remedy regional and national shortcomings. This approach will explore how to harmonise European Law and enable a uniformity of practice for the collection of evidence in CSA online, including undercover investigations, in line with European values and fundamental rights. The European harmonisation of legal approaches and standardisation of best practice for the collection of evidence will ultimately enhance sharing of legally obtained evidence across member states, reducing the reliance on national standards of evidence admissibility and will compliment and strengthen the EU’s approach and strategy for challenging and prosecuting CSA crimes and the new Regulation on production and preservation orders for e-evidence.The over-arching aim of the SALVUS project is to provide research-based knowledge and understanding of CSA online and undercover investigations and their relationship to obligations to ensure the legality of evidence collection, developed from a child-centred and human rights core. The project’s outputs will help responsible agencies to develop regional legislative frameworks for the collection of evidence in these cases and provide a European Guidance of best practice in CSA investigations for the collection of evidence in online and undercover cases; aiding law enforcement authorities, forensic institutes, and policy/law-makers to ensure safer justice outcomes.

Pulsed Fourier-transform (FT) has reigned supreme in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for over 50 years, standing at the core of numerous analytical, pharmaceutical, materials, biophysical and medical applications. However, if spectral information is not a must, FT NMR is not necessarily the optimal way for maximizing sensitivity: when, as often happens, spin relaxation times are long and T1≈T2, steady-state free-precession (SSFP) experiments can provide a higher sensitivity per unit time. SSFP NMR applies a train of closely spaced pulses and works only at suitable offsets, and has therefore been assumed impractical when seeking high resolution among multiple chemical sites. We have recently found a way to break this limitation, enabling SSFP-based schemes to resolve multiple sharp peaks spread over arbitrarily large bandwidths. We have also devised routes that can incorporate J-driven polarization transfers onto these sequences. On the basis of such findings, we propose here a series of SSFP-based developments, that in numerous heteronuclear NMR applications should provide sensitivities exceeding by sizable margins those afforded by FT NMR. SteadyNMR presents preliminary experiments and calculations substantiating such claim (see below an example on a mix of aromatic hydrocarbons in chloroform), and builds on them to: devise optimal spectral reconstruction algorithms translating SSFP’s enhancements into high-resolution methods opening new frontiers in chemical and biomolecular research; exploit these methods potential to monitor dynamics on thermal and on hyperpolarized samples; develop new families of metabolic 13C spectroscopic imaging experiments that are both 1H- and SSFP-enhanced, serving as basis for potentially superior ways of detecting cancer and metabolic abnormalities on widely available MRI platforms; combine these and other principles into new approaches complementing –and eventually improving– existing FT-based 2D NMR schemes.

Black holes are the most extreme and compact objects in the universe. Since their theoretical prediction, scientists have tried to shed light on these objects that swallow everything that comes close to them, including light. This is a fascinating paradox that poses difficult challenges to study black holes in the universe. Fortunately, these objects leave their traces imposing their extreme gravitational pull on the surrounding matter, while it is falling into the black hole. The REWARD project aims to study accreting black holes in order to obtain the most accurate measurements of their two parameters: spin and mass. Such measurements would allow, for the first time, to reconcile the tension from gravitational waves and X-ray models, and build a coherent picture of black hole phenomenology. Recently launched X-ray missions (e.g. NICER, NuSTAR) have provided unprecedented high signal-to-noise energy spectra and fast timing resolution observations, which require a new generation of models for their interpretation. In order to do it, I will combine hydrodynamics simulations with X-ray models. In particular, I will model radiation reflected from the accretion disk, accounting for the simulated 3D density structure of the disk. I will compare these new models with X-ray observations of accreting black holes, and I will provide robust spin and mass measurements of those systems.

Chiral Energies developed a group of materials and coatings that “naturally” reduce resistance and enhance electrochemical reactions by use of a novel physical effect – alignment of electron spin. A nano-coating on electrodes significantly improves capacity and efficiency of Electrolyzers, Batteries and Fuel Cells. Chiral’s technology is based on groundbreaking quantum-chemistry (The CISS effect) discovered by our founders. Our proprietary nano-coatings can be applied in a simple and low-cost process that fits most (if not all) existing technologies, form factors and manufacturing processes. After years of research and development, Chiral was able to achieve a capacity increase of 30-50% and efficiency increase of 10-20% in electrolyzer cells (the focus of this application). We are performing POCs with players such as NREL and expect to launch additional POCs with the French TOTAL Energies and the German BASF. Batteries, electrolyzers and Fuel-cells (respectively >$100B, >$50B and >$30B markets in 2030) play a significant role in the transition to renewables. Yet all of them need to overcome significant challenges in efficiency, costs and more. Chiral’s coatings address these needs with a simple, easy to integrate solution. We expect to start sales with electrolyzers ($12.5B TAM for our electrolyzer coating) and expand into batteries and fuel cells thereafter. We project revenues of $0.8M in the first year (2027) and $125M by year 5 (2031). Chiral’s solution provides more than just capacity increase. It increases efficiency, reduces footprint and weight per kW, reduces operating temperatures (thus increasing safety), allows for faster battery charging and eliminates unwanted by-products. Our vision is that 10 years from now, all electrochemical devices - Electrolyzers, Batteries, Fuel cells and more, will benefit from reduced resistivity driven by Spin-Control by way of nano-coatings. Chiral Energies will lead this revolution.
