PolArt intends to rethink the relationship between art and politics: it will answer the questions of what the political dimension of art is and what art can give to society. The general aim of PolArt is to understand how art can play a central role in determining the fundamental ideals of a society, acting as a significant way to know, understand, criticize and transform reality (both epistemically and practically). PolArt will produce a new hermeneutic model to investigate the relationship between art and politics, rethinking a decisive historical moment in its construction, in order to address the current situation. It will explore the origins of the contemporary view on the topic in classical German philosophy, as the first real moment in which this relationship is conceived philosophically. On the one hand, the current debate on the art/politics dichotomy still has as its main frame of reference the 20th century discussions, which remains dominant and obscures the relevance of classical German philosophy on this topic; on the other hand, critical literature on classical German philosophy has not yet explored the topic with a sufficiently unified and comprehensive view. Thanks to a methodology that combines 'distance reading' and 'conceptual history' in an original way, PolArt aims to fill this gap by developing a new interpretive paradigm derived from an innovative interpretation of classical German philosophy, which can genealogically show its fundamental value for subsequent discussions and produce a reflection on the issues of today's debate. In addition to the innovative scientific results expected in the fields of classical German philosophy studies and Aesthetics, from a more general point of view, PolArt will philosophically show how art can be a decisive element for the construction of a political community and for the formation of an active and conscious citizenship for individuals.

The Evolutionary Medical Genomics Doctoral Network (EvoMG-DN) pioneers an integrative approach combining Evolutionary Medicine and Medical Genomics to address critical health challenges. By combining evolutionary insights with state-of-the-art genomic tools, EvoMG-DN seeks to establish EvoMG as a structured and impactful discipline in Europe. The network aims to train the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers to unlock the full potential of evolutionary genomic approaches in healthcare. EvoMG-DN pursues three overarching objectives: (i) foster interdisciplinary synergy by uniting EvoMG researchers from diverse fields to catalyze innovation in methodologies and tools; (ii) create a cohesive training framework, equipping doctoral candidates (DCs) with expertise in EvoMG applications through structured training and collaboration; and (iii) advance evolution-informed clinical applications, such as adaptive cancer therapies. The research program is organized into three scientific work packages: WP1 explores evolutionary insights into ageing and age-related diseases; WP2 focuses on tumor evolution and acquisition of resistance in cancer therapies; and WP3 addresses pathogen evolution, antibiotic resistance and interactions with the immune system. These are underpinned by core methodological pillars, which include comparative functional genomics, genetic diversity analysis, mathematical modeling and machine learning, and the use of unconventional model organisms. Through interdisciplinary secondments, tailored mentoring, and advanced training modules, EvoMG-DN empowers DCs to bridge disciplines and develop actionable solutions to global health challenges. By formalizing EvoMG methodologies and advancing clinical applications, EvoMG-DN aims to solidify Europe’s leadership in biomedical research and deliver long-lasting societal impact.

MicroSOS project aims to enable exchange and mobility between academic and non-academic partners from the agricultural and environmental sectors. All the participants in MicroSOS have a connection to soils and agriculture, which are under stress due to Climate Change impacts while being drivers of Climate Change as well due to the dynamics of the plant microbiome and its relationship to nutrient cycling and GHG emissions. Unlocking the power of the microbiome in agriculture will drive novel approaches for better management and improvements in the sector, making a true connection between fundamental research and applicable developments with societal relevance. The objectives of the MicroSOS project are: 1. To transfer skills, knowledge, and competencies between institutions focused on agricultural topics. 2. to enhance the career prospects of early career researchers by engaging them in multidisciplinary exchanges on plant microbiome and agriculture. 3. To create sustainable collaborations between European and Southeast Asian institutions by converting knowledge and exchange into more ideas for new projects. 4. To create a platform for communicating science to non-academic partners and the general public to ensure the relevance of science in crop management and agricultural development, including the sector's needs in fundamental science. To achieve these objectives, nonacademic firms experts in agricultural interventions and applications will exchange knowledge with academic institutions with expertise in fundamental aspects of the microbiome of the plant and soils. This combination creates an ideal network to enable the co-development and co-creation of knowledge during the staff exchanges that can yield successes in broadening the career prospects of a balanced team of young researchers from Europe and other underrepresented origins by having exposure to this network.

All animals need to sense their environments. The ability to detect light, temperature, chemicals, sound, vibrations and other stimuli depends on an extraordinary range of sensory cell types. The diversity and relationships between these receptor cells across the animal phyla, the ways in which they have been adapted, reused, tweaked and sometimes lost, is little known, but is crucial for understanding how animals survive and thrive in diverse environments. Most sensory cells are characterised by complex shapes and molecular machinery, first discovered by meticulous electron microscopy in the past decades. More recently, this has been complemented by genetic studies of their development and differentiation in various animal models. These two research programmes have, however, largely remained separate, and a unified morphological and molecular understanding of how the diversity of animal sensory cells has evolved is lacking. Our aim in ZooCELL is to create a comprehensive view of sensory cell type evolution based on the discovery of recurrent patterns of genetic and subcellular structure across a wide range of new animal models. To this end, we will combine single-cell genomics, correlative light and electron microscopy, Artificial Intelligence, and reverse genetics approaches in these species. ZooCELL will bring together Europe’s world-leading expertise in these disciplines, and thus contribute to building the field of comparative integrative cell biology in animals. While training the next generation of doctoral students in these novel interdisciplinary techniques, we will develop new tools for combined molecular and morphological comparative analyses of cell types. Our interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international training programme will also include dissemination and public outreach, and the comprehensive training provided will enable our graduate students to assume leadership roles in academia, industry and science outreach.

TabulaRasa takes the use of clay and wax tablets in the Ancient Near East, the Classical world, and Medieval to Early Modern Europe as the centerpiece of a comprehensive exploration of the role of rewritability in manuscript cultures. Across diverse societies, the recycling of written surfaces proves not only desirable but essential in contexts such as education, note-taking, literary creation, economy and administration. Its profound implications range from palaeographic developments to the acquisition of writing, memorization and composition practices, and aspects of data storage, information overload and resource recycling that persist to this day. Throughout history, the challenge of devising techniques for effortless reuse has sparked a wealth of clever solutions. Among these, clay and wax tablets can be considered paradigmatic: they played a key role in the history of writing from the third millennium BCE up to modern times, enabling effortless, unlimited rewriting without the need to add or subtract material. TabulaRasa takes them as a benchmark for an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural exploration of rewritability. It integrates codicology, palaeography and the study of manuscript cultures into a holistic historical framework, combining study of original artifacts, material analysis and experimentation. The primary objectives encompass a codicological understanding of clay and wax tablets as material objects, deciphering the biomechanics of inkless writing on clay and wax and its implications for palaeographic developments in cuneiform and Latin script, and comprehending the role of erasable media in key historical contexts. Complementing these integrated lines of inquiry, TabulaRasa will broaden its gaze to include a comparative analysis of re-writing practices, adding historical depth to ongoing research on e-ink and environmental sustainability, and providing a breakthrough in the understanding of a fundamental aspect of writing practices past and present.

Microbiota medicine is the new frontier in human health. The human gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of microbes. Under normal conditions, these microbial communities drive physiological and homeostatic functions in the host; when altered, they can lead to severe disorders. With an increasingly recognized role in health and disease, the gut microbiota offers promising therapeutic and diagnostic potential to tackle various pathologies (incl. metabolic, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders). Its full clinical potential remains largely unrealized though, mostly due to the lack of critical mass capable of integrating the multiple scientific and translational dimensions of microbiota medicine. Grounded on a team of 180leading researchers and entrepreneurs from across 12 countries and dispersed disciplines (biological big data analytics, systems and synthetic biology, experimental and translational medicine), MiCCrobioTAckle will train 12 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) with the much-needed cross-disciplinary and -sectoral expertise to advance microbiota medicine. As course-setting disease, the DCs will focus on cancer cachexia (CC). CC is an excellent model to study the host-microbiota axis in the context of metabolic diseases and represents the paradigm of a devastating condition in urgent need of new and more efficient means of clinical management. Along MiCCrobioTAckle, the 12 high-calibre DCs will foster new discoveries with impact on CC, while driving scientific and technological progress in microbiota medicine in its broadest scope. By training the next generation of researchers with out-of-the-box thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset in microbiota medicine, MiCCrobioTAckle will safeguard the EU leadership in this vanguard and imperative biotech/pharma segment, while paving the way for the development of novel gut microbiota insights and tools to tackle multiple diseases with foreseeable impact on the well-being of billions of citizens worldwide.

Mobility is crossing a new digital frontier in terms of connectivity, allowing vehicles to communicate to each other, to the infrastructure and to other transport systems users. However, the potential implications and impacts of integration of CCAM solutions into the mobility system are not well understood neither for specific actors nor for the systems level. MOVE2CCAM will: i) explore the impact of CCAM passenger and freight solutions; define use cases, business models and KPIs through co-creation activities with the “Satellites”, and ii) develop a practical system dynamics-based impact assessment tool that will enable the evaluation of CCAM interventions’ impact on mobility-, socio-economic-, public health- and environmental-related aspects considering diverse European region specifics and different actors’ needs, objectives and perceptions. The Satellites is a multi-systems network of actors across the whole CCAM ecosystem consisting of industries, authorities, researchers citizens, and orbits around the project by participating in a series of co-creation activities. Case studies for different types of organisations, dialogues, social simulation experiments, virtual reality games, and AV demonstrations take place in 8 European countries and at a pan-European level to collect data and specify the multi-systems impacts of CCAMs. The impact assessment tool will allow stakeholders to test and evaluate the system-wide impacts of CCAM interventions along with a range of complementary policies providing also a series of KPIs (within the project it is applied for Helmond(NL), GZM(PL), and Aegean Islands(GR). Given these activities, MOVE2CCAM significantly contributes to a well-founded understanding of the impacts of CCAMs. It will deliver impact evaluation frameworks and tools with KPIs covering sectors such as society, economy, and the environment; policy recommendations for CCAM partnerships and large-scale demonstrations; and recommendations for SUMP.

Why do some people make highly flexible approach-avoid decisions under threat, while others can only follow fight-flight impulses? Computational psychiatry has advanced formalizations on how utility functions shape optimal decisions. But decisions are made by embodied agents, equipped with potent and competing autonomic arousal systems: Approach-avoidance conflicts elicit stress and are marked by concurrent sympathetic and parasympathetic arousal. The impact of para- and sympathetic dominance on decisions is very different, but decision science has largely ignored autonomic balance, failing to explain altered decisions in real-life threats and anxiety. Leveraging theoretical innovations that bridge the decision and affective neurosciences, HEART2ADAPT develops a new framework to explain how our brains adapt value-based approach-avoidance decisions under the influence of our autonomic state. It will—for the first time—document the direct impact of autonomic balance on decisions in health and anxiety. HEART2ADAPT tests the hypotheses that: (1) sympathetic overdrive and failure to reach parasympathetic dominance makes anxious individuals misinterpret random environmental changes (noise) as actual threats, causing avoidance biases, while (2) parasympathetic dominance promotes integration of phasic amygdala-signaled changes with longer-term fronto-striatal updating, facilitating flexible decision making. To do so, HEART2ADAPT will (1) leverage groundbreaking innovations in the concurrent, real-time tracking of body-brain states (cardio- & posturography; high resolution MEG; fMRI/MRS); (2) pioneer focused ultrasound stimulation and cholinergic modulation to directly explore causal contributions of deep neural regions on decisions under threat, and (3) test these interventions in clinical proof-of-concept studies. HEART2ADAPT articulates a novel integrated neurocomputational framework that will radically change our understanding of fearful avoidance and its management.

Textile Change is a Danish start-up company developing a promising and patent pending chemical recycling technology for fiber-to-fiber recycling of textile waste. The technology can be used for blended textiles including any combination of polyester, natural fibers (cotton, hemp etc.) and regenerated cellulose fibers (viscose, lyocell, etc.). The new EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles tackles aims to ensure that by 2030 textile products placed on the EU market are made as much as possible of recycled fibers, but to reach this goal scalable recycling solutions for fiber-to-fiber recycling is needed. At Textile Change we are developing a scalable solution that can support the EU strategy and ensure fiber-to-fiber recycling for blended textiles. Two of three founders of Textile Change are women, and our focus in the WomenTech programme will be on market validation and product optimization.
