We are proposing ERNs for 2016 and 2017 in 12 French cities. Our consortium of 11 partners will organise afternoons for schoolchildren, events in the cities and, above all, evenings where 1000 researchers will meet up to 30,000 people a year. The general public will be able to meet a number of researchers directly and experience something memorable with them. Since 2006, we have acquired a solid knowhow in the “art of interaction”. In 2014-2015, we went one step further by including the public in the actual research experiments, thereby creating scientist-citizen cooperation. We will renew these experiences and go even further: we are encouraging the public and researchers to experience creative moments together! Several creative interactions will be set up, around the “Ideas” theme in 2016 and the “Impossible?” theme in 2017, to allow researchers and the public to interact. The evenings will be full of ideas, challenges, and encounters with diverse individuals. In this way, we will rally European researchers to get involved in each city. Specific strategies will be used (such as public radio recordings) to allow them to share their European experience. These moments of cooperation will without a doubt reinforce the mutual appreciation between researchers and citizens. Our communication strategy (attracting specific audiences through networking, web, partnerships with youth-oriented press, etc.) will be based on the slogan: “General Creativity”. This slogan denotes the interactive nature of the evening and gives us a chance to talk about the richness of European research. To this effect, and for the first time, Cédric Villani, an inspiring and renowned researcher, has accepted to be the ERN’s patron. Lastly, we plan to renew the “Great Participatory Experiment” in 2017. In each city (and perhaps even Italy), the public will contribute to the same playful scientific experiment chosen in 2016 after a challenge involving all our research institutions.

Our aim is to dissect the mechanisms of contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL), a process whereby migrating cells collide and repel each other, as it is now clear that CIL is pivotal to understanding embryogenesis and pathologies such as cancer. We have developed an in vivo model using Drosophila macrophages (hemocytes), along with novel analytical tools, to examine the contact inhibition response in cells during development. We therefore have an unprecedented opportunity to address CIL in a genetically tractable organism within a physiologically relevant setting. This model has revealed that a precisely controlled CIL response is a significant driving force behind the acquisition of embryonic patterns, and recent data show that this precision requires a series of synchronized changes in cytoskeletal dynamics. Our central hypothesis is that key to this cellular ‘dance’ is mechanosensation of the collision, which integrates subsequent signaling mechanisms to choreograph the steps of the contact inhibition process. The first part of this proposal will elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling CIL by exploiting our unique ability to live image and genetically dissect this process in Drosophila. We will also take an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate the mechanical aspects of the response, which will allow us to examine the feedback between signaling pathways and the physical forces of the CIL response. We will subsequently extend our detailed understanding of the CIL process, and our novel set of analytical tools, to mammalian cell types and model systems. This will allow us to develop new assays to directly probe the mechanics of CIL and begin to investigate the function of this underexplored process in other cell types. This in depth knowledge of the response places us in the best position to extend our understanding of CIL to new physiologically relevant scenarios that in the future will impact on human health.

SAPPAN aims to develop a platform for sharing and automation to enable privacy preserving and efficient response and recovery utilizing advanced data analysis and machine learning. SAPPAN will provide a cyber threat intelligence system that decreases the effort required by a security analyst to find optimal responses to and ways to recover from an attack. SAPPAN will enable this within a single organization as well as across organisations through novel models for privacy-preserving data processing and sharing. It will enable utilizing external experts for intrusion detection and sharing of knowledge on response and recovery actions while respecting the privacy and confidentiality requirements of individuals and organizations. SAPPAN will enable a European level perspective on advanced cyber security threats detection, response, and recovery making four key contributions that go beyond existing approaches: (1) privacy-preserving aggregation and data analytics including advanced client-side abstractions; (2) federated threat detection based on sharing of anonymised data and sharing of trained machine learning models; (3) standardisation of knowledge in the context of incident response and recovery to enable reuse and sharing; (4) visual, interactive support for Security Operation Center operators. SAPPAN aims to provide solutions for public international institutions and multinational companies who want to enrich their Situational Awareness by sharing cyber security intelligence as well as solutions for small and midsize companies enabling them to outsource intrusion detection. SAPPAN will be demonstrated in the relevant environments of 2 multinational companies, 1 National Research and Education Network (NREN) and 2 Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT). The consortium consists of 1 NREN, 3 multinational companies, 3 universities and 1 research institute so as to maximise the technical and societal impact, the dissemination and uptake of the results.

Cell migration is a critical process for embryogenesis, immune cell function and wound healing as well as cancer progression. Most normal cells migrate by protruding the plasma membrane forward through actin polymerization. The formation of a protrusion requires activation of the small GTPase Rac1 that in turn activates the WAVE complex, which induces branched actin networks through the Arp2/3 complex. For efficient cell migration, membrane protrusion at the leading edge must be sustained. Conversely, cells need to retract membrane protrusion to stop cell migration or turn. The tight control of protrusion lifetime and directional persistence is thus critical to fine tune cell migration. At the molecular level, persistence is controlled by positive and negative feedback loops. However, only few of these feedback loops have been identified and almost none has been characterized, in particular in vivo. In a joint effort with two other labs, proteomic screens were used to identify proteins that interact with the WAVE complex and whose interaction is modulated by branched actin. Based on different selection criteria such as their role in actin dynamics in vitro, conservation in fish, and absence of in vivo data, I selected three candidates. I will unravel their in vivo function at different scales, from embryonic development, to cell migration, to membrane protrusion and cytoskeleton dynamics. Actin feedback loops regulating cell migration will be specifically dissected. To do so, I will take advantage of two complementary and well characterized cellular models: endodermal cells and prechordal plate cells. Endodermal cells perform a random walk, while prechordal plate cells exhibit a directed collective migration. This project, which relies on validated unbiased screens and well established cellular models and approaches, will provide new insights in our understanding of actin dynamics regulation and mechanisms that fine tune cell migration.

Nowadays any communication barrier is detrimental to society. This project will research and develop the SignON communication service that uses machine translation to translate between Sign and spoken languages. This service will facilitate the exchange of information among deaf and hard of hearing, and hearing individuals. In this user-centric and community-driven project we will tightly collaborate with European deaf and hard of hearing communities to (re)define use-cases, co-design and co-develop the SignON service and application, assess the quality and validate their acceptance. Our ultimate objective is the fair, unbiased and inclusive spread of information and digital content in European society. Our project will develop a free, open application and framework for conversion between video (capturing and understanding Sign language), audio and text and translation between Sign and spoken languages. To facilitate these tasks we propose a common representation for mapping of video, audio and text into a unified space, that will be used for translating into the target modality and language. To ensure wide uptake, improved sign language detection and synthesis, as well as multilingual speech processing on mobile devices for everyone, we will deploy the SignON service as a smart phone application running on standard modern devices. We envisage the application as a light-weight interface. The SignON framework, however, will be distributed on the cloud where the computationally intensive tasks will be executed.The project will be driven by a focused set of use-cases tailored towards the deaf communities. We target the Irish, British, Dutch, Flemish and Spanish Sign and English, Irish, Dutch, Spanish spoken languages. However, SignON will incorporate sophisticated machine learning capabilities that will allow (i) learning new Sign, written and spoken languages; (ii) style-, domain- and user-adaptation and (iii) automatic error correction, based on user feedback

Under pace-of-life syndrome (POLS) hypothesis, physiological, behavioural, and life history traits covary along the slow–fast pace-of-life axis. The POLS concept has been recently applied within species and populations, to studying individual-level variation in physiological, behavioural and life-history strategies. One critical environmental feature that has curiously been completely overlooked in POLS framework is the urbanization gradient (UG). Studies of urban animal ecology have so far concentrated on a few traits at a time, and a systematic approach to urban life-history and physiological adaptations is missing. This project proposes to study individual variation in life-history, physiological and behavioural traits along the UG in two model species of urbanization research, the house finch and the great tit, and to perform an experiment to understand the influence of environment v. genetic background on the development of pace-of-life differences between rural and urban birds. There are a number of avian studies that have assessed differences in traits associated with pace-of-life, such as reproduction, survival, behaviour and personalities, immune responses, and oxidative status along the UG, but so far no studies even consider the possibility of different adaptive pace-of-life strategies between urban and rural populations. Also, relatively little is known about shifts in genetic traits, and there are no studies designed particularly for testing pace-of-life differences between populations of urban and rural birds. The proposed project will use a multidisciplinary approach that involves field study methods for analysing survival, reproduction and behaviour and lab methods for quantifying OS, immune status, and gene expression (transcriptome microarray analysis).
