Social science explanations for rising inequality are incomplete in two significant ways. First, they commonly study income inequality through the narrow prism of earnings, overlooking key sources originating in the labor market, such as employee benefits and corporate profits. Second, and related to the first, research on rising inequality is still frequently conducted at the individual or national levels, neglecting workplaces, and in particular power relations at work. Conflicts arise and compromises are forged not primarily at the national level but within specific institutional settings, including the workplace. As a consequence of these two limitations, social science explanations of rising inequality neglect the complex fabric of workers’ and employers’ relative bargaining power, their multidimensionality and interdependence, and their resulting incomes. I propose to formulate an original account of income inequality that is new in three ways. First, by constructing what I refer to as “distributional workplace accounts” (DIWA), I plan to bring together for the first time all components of income – earnings, fringe benefits, and capital – of both employees and employers, at the workplace level. Second, based on DIWA, I will estimate the first statistics on the scope and dynamics of the division of earnings, fringe benefits, capital, and total workplace income to different social or income classes. Third, I will develop a novel theory explaining the institutional, structural, and status-based mechanisms of workers’ and employers’ relative bargaining power. Based on the new theory and an innovative empirical approach I will analyze the relations between relative bargaining power and the income shares of different social and income classes. The proposed project will make a significant contribution to the social science disciplines debating the upswing in inequality, and to public policy seeking to confront the resurgence of income inequality.

In many scientific disciplines structural symmetry considerations are key. Specifically, mechanisms by which symmetry translates from atomic and molecular building blocks to crystal structures and shapes attract a great deal of attention. A fascinating aspect of this is related to chirality. Louis Pasteur’s monumental work, reported in 1848, on formation of chiral shapes in crystals made from chiral molecules, led to an intuition that chiral building blocks naturally lead to chiral shapes in crystals. Yet, after countless observations ever since of crystals with chiral shapes, mechanisms of their formation are understood to be often more complex and elusive than first imagined. In work proposed here, nanocrystals will serve as convenient model systems for studies of the interplay between crystallization and chiral shape formation. They are beneficial for this purpose as they can mimic “embryonic” stages of crystal growth, exhibiting structural details that can be retrieved at remarkable resolution, that are often hidden in macroscopic crystals. Specifically, I will focus on a universal mechanism by which crystals grow at low concentrations of building blocks, assisted by a common type of imperfections, namely, screw dislocations. I will tackle key unresolved questions on the interplay between chirality, screw dislocations and crystallization. First, how does screw-dislocation-mediated growth proceed in the presence of chiral additives that can bind to growing crystals, and how do these dislocations even come to be? Second, how general is this mechanism, and how often was it overlooked throughout history? The results obtained in this work, on the one hand, will lead to a general design principle to control nano-scale chirality in many inorganic materials, beneficial for novel applications. On the other hand, they have the potential to elucidate a missing piece of crystal growth theory and lead to a paradigm shift in our understanding of shape chirality in crystals.

The overarching goal of the SWITCH proposal is to improve understanding of knowledge, accessibility and facilitation gaps that limit present large scale adoption of sustainable and healthy diets among European citizens and to develop and demonstrate appropriate innovative solutions and tools to facilitate a just transition towards healthy and sustainable dietary behavior at all levels of the multi-actor food system in EU. The transition towards sustainable, safe, healthy and inclusive food systems, from farm to fork has become a key priority for EU policies, in line with the UN goals sustainable development goals (SDGs). The biggest challenge at present is represented by the limited knowledge of influence dietary choices which limits large scale adoption of healthy and sustainable diets. The SWITCH ambition is to accelerate the behavioral shift of European citizens towards more sustainable and healthy patterns, using Research and Innovation (R&I) as a driver to increase knowledge, accessibility and facilitation strategies at all level of the food systems, involving a multi-actor systemic approach and a co-creation strategy to delineate solutions fair to consumers that support virtuous behavior throughout the whole food chain. For a successful large scale adoption of healthy dietary behavior, all the actors of the food systems need to be engaged, connected and valorized. In pursuing its objectives the project aims to go beyond the present state-of-the-art addressing the most relevant points of the program topic "Transition to healthy and sustainable dietary behaviour HORIZON-CL6-2021-FARM2FORK-01-15"

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerosis (AT) as the primary underlying factor. Ageing is the strongest risk factor for both AT and CVD. Emerging evidence indicates that the B cell-mediated immune response plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of AT, although the nature of this response and its triggering antigens are poorly understood. In our prior research, we identified ALDH4A1 as novel AT antigen and showed that anti-ALDH4A1 A12 antibody is atheroprotective in mice. Our recent preliminary data show increased titers of anti-ALDH4A1 antibodies in aged mice as well as a rise in age-associated B cells in AT mice. These findings suggest a strong link between ageing, the B cell immune response, and AT. ANTI-ATHERO aims to functionally dissect the AT antibody response with the ultimate goal of identifying age-associated antigens that can serve as targets for specific immunotherapies. We will pursue the following aims: 1) characterize the early and aged B cell immune response in AT with time-stamping mouse models, 2) generate a single cell clonal atlas of time-stamped AT B cells and identify individual antibodies and antigens associated with the early and the aged AT antibody response, 3) translate our findings to human disease by mapping the B cell response in clinical AT and testing the identified antigens as markers of disease progression and, 4) evaluate the therapeutic potential of the identified antibodies and antigens through passive and active immunization strategies. We anticipate that the ANTI-ATHERO project will generate transformative insights into the interplay between ageing, the immune system, and AT. Our findings have the potential to significantly advance not only cardiovascular research but also contribute to a broader understanding of other age-related diseases and autoimmune disorders.

The challenging EU socio-economic context for the near future (land abandonment, population aging, young farmers, rural low technology access, and entrepreneurs´ migration) imposes the need for developing new Rural Communities Business models (RCBM). These models will improve current rural business allowing to overcome the current situation and adopt innovative and cost-effective agroecological and digital solutions while increasing the environmental ecosystem services delivery, farmers’ quality of life and rural areas revitalization. The GREENCOOP overall objective is to develop a set of 15 (EU) and 2 (China) LL communities to co-create agroecological and digital innovations (ADIs) as 12 demos to promote social economy, enhancing farmers prosperity and rural entrepreneurs by optimizing the use of in-farm resources, reducing environmental damage, improving working conditions, and inclusion (i.e. youth, women.), fostering bioeconomy and circular economy, and increasing the number of high-quality jobs and competences. ADIs will be integrated into relevant types of farming systems (farm ideotypes) selected by GREENCOOP Living Labs (LLs) and the basis for the RCBM by promoting the farmers and rural entrepreneurs’ participation in the food systems. This will contribute to increase ecosystem services delivery and valorisation, improve food security, and mitigate and adapt farming systems to climate change increasing market resilience. GREENCOOP is a 4-year project that aspires to (i) create and evaluate, through a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach, a set of 12 ADIs (ii) analyse the integration of ADIs and industries interactions in EU relevant among rural business by developing RCBM and (iii) benchmark the current business models with the RCBM by assessing their economic, environment and social impacts and (iv) optimize the RCBM to enhance farming systems sustainability , productivity, rural/urban connectivity, and resilience against climate and market.

The recent increase in intergroup conflicts emphasize the importance of finding ways how to reconcile members of adversary groups. Subsequently, social psychologists have developed evidence-based reconciliation interventions aimed at improving intergroup attitudes and behaviours towards outgroups. Even though intervention effectiveness and outcomes depend on the context in which people live, most empirical research on reconciliation interventions has ignored the impact of the social context. The overarching aim of this proposal is to systematically examine the influence of theoretically crucial and pre-existing contextual features on effectiveness, processes and durability of reconciliation interventions: a. degree of conflict and perceived threat, b. degree of integration vs. segregation within communities in which people live, c. ethnic majorities vs. minorities, and d. social norms on outgroup treatment. The project consists of four sequential work-packages. In WP1 and WP2, I will conduct large-scale longitudinal (online) studies in four European countries affected by conflict. These studies will test and compare the effectiveness, processes and durability of established (WP1) and context-adapted (WP2) reconciliation interventions on intergroup attitudes and real-life behaviours of ethnic majorities and minorities living in different social contexts. In WP3 and using field experiments, most effective and context-adapted reconciliation interventions will be incorporated into participants’ real life through intergroup contact and multi-media. After establishing the impact of the social context in realistic settings and using heterogenous representative samples, in WP4, I will develop and empirically evaluate the first theoretical framework for intergroup reconciliation. This project will identify effective reconciliation interventions that fit a variety of social contexts and thus provide concrete and effective tools for peace-building agents.

TRIĒRĒS is a Hydrogen Valley in Greece that brings together business, knowledge and regional interests. The TRIĒRĒS Valley starts as a small scale Valley but has a tremendous upward perspective over a large part of the Balkans, South-Eastern Europe and the wider area of Eastern Mediterranean. The Valley will be built around the nucleus of MOH’s Corinth Refinery complex. From a business perspective the project has strong transeuropean interest as 80% of the refinery sales are generated outside of Greece, rendering it internationally oriented by default. Creating and building a Valley using the refinery as Hydrogen generator accelerates the transition, with an annual production of 2,410 tons of Green Hydrogen that will be utilised in the production of low and no Carbon footprint energy and industrial products and will be injected in the natural gas grid creating a Hydrogen Backbone of full EU interest. High visibility actions in mobility will include one (1) short-sea ferry ship, three (3) public transport buses, and at least (two) 2 cars. Knowledge and innovations are spurred through the intensive collaboration with knowledge institutes and SME’s. The participation of the local and regional governments assures the component of public acceptance, understanding and advocacy, generating interest to many parties supporting regional economic growth. The learnings from HEAVENN and WIGA P&G Valleys will be replicated with the specific knowledge of the Greek and broader connected geographies. TRIĒRĒS entails an investment of 115 mil EUR (initially by project partners) up to 408 million EUR (potential direct/indirect leverage of investments). Several thousand people will be employed during the realisation of the valley project, which will promote new skills development. The consortium partners are creating a true new perspective in the region, transitioning from a traditional refinery complex to a state-of-the art future oriented energy and hydrogen ecosystem in the region.

Research and Innovation Objectives: Objective 1 Engineering and Characterising biomolecular functional condensates and coacervates Objective 2 Understanding the behavior of the bioactive coacervates in cellular environments Objective 3 Application of coacervates in gene editing of recalcitrant plants Towards innovative tools for gene delivery in organisms, BIOCOCOMER is focused on the design and engineering of innovative biomolecular condensates/coacervates using peptides, proteins, polysaccharide and nucleic acids, as innovative tools for gene delivery in mammalian cells and plants. Through a combination of computer-based theoretical design and experimental and characterization approaches BIOCOCOMER is expected to generate a library of well-defined condensates and coacervates by programmed co-assembly and phase separation of mixtures of biomacromolecules, i.e polysaccharide-protein, polysaccharide-polyphenols, peptide-peptide, nucleic acid-protein. The condensates and coacervates will be engineered to readily recruit RNA and DNA molecules during phase separation in aqueous solution and to be stimuli responsive to enable transfection of mammalian cells and plants. Scientific Impact: BIOCOCOMER will ultimately result in significant scientific breakthroughs towards innovative universal transfection tools with widespread biomedical and biotechnological applications. We intend to explore the potential of the developed platforms with the long-term aim of boosting the translational pathway of research in medicine and agriculture.
