This project will examine whether the shift in global economic policymaking from the G7 to the G20 has increased its democratic legitimacy and ability to accommodate discontent with economic globalisation. More specifically, I ask how we can explain the relation between more inclusive inputs to policymaking and its outcomes in terms of global financial governance. Ten years following the shift to the G20 and with a full policy cycle behind us, this question can be answered through a multi-methods approach of semi-structured elite interviews - made possible through my years as an international policymaker at the European Central Bank - and network analysis. The interviews will complement an existing set of over 150 elite interviews, paving the way for longitudinal analysis. With support from the Data Archiving and Networked Services centre, these interviews will form a uniquely comprehensive database durably accessible to researchers. My main proposition is that the dynamics of ‘club governance’ hamper substantive change as new members are socialized into conforming to patterns of groupthink. Nevertheless, policy changes can materialize if new topics enter the agenda framed within the boundaries of the existing ideational consensus. The strength of the existing consensus on any given subject should therefore predict to what extent the more democratic policymaking process is reflected in policy outputs. The Sheffield Methods Institute will provide expert training in qualitative analysis. The host, SPERI, is home to established academics working on similar topics, while supervisor Professor Andrew Baker has unique expertise on G-group policy forums. This institutional fit will ensure my further development as a scholar. This policy-relevant project will contribute to International Economics, International Relations, International Political Economy, and Political Science. The dissemination strategy will address scholars, policymakers and the general public.

Sustaining a cohort of new entrants is crucial to the ongoing vitality, resilience and competitiveness of the agricultural sector and rural regions in Europe. New entrants bring with them innovation and entrepreneurialism, as well as practical skills and networks developed on farms and through off-farm employment. However, new entrants face considerable challenges in entering the sector, particularly access to land, capital, labour and markets, but also business skills and knowledge development on both applied and theoretical levels. Analysis of Eurostat figures suggests that there is not an adequate replacement rate of young farmers in many European countries, although there is evidence of considerable innovation and comparatively high rates of new entrants in others (Zagata and Sutherland, 2015). The NEWBIE Network (New Entrant netWork: Business models for Innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience in European agriculture) has been designed to address the significant challenge of enabling new entrants to successfully establish sustainable farm businesses in Europe. The NEWBIE network will facilitate the development and dissemination of new business models, including new entry models, to the full range of new entrants - from successors to complete newcomers to the agricultural sector. This will be achieved by a transdisciplinary network of farming organisations, educators, advisors, researchers and industry stakeholders, who will assemble, assess and exchange the state of the art on new entrant farming enterprises, and establish national and European new entrant support networks. NEWBIE will focus particularly on enabling innovative business models developed by new entrants to be integrated into academic research and educational curricula, and broadly disseminated to new entrants across Europe.

The PERFORCE3 European Training Network (ETN) is a multi-partner joint doctoral student research training network with the overall aims of educating 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and improving the understanding of, and eliminating the risks associated with, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). PFASs comprise more than 4700 substances and are of high global concern due to poorly defined risks to the environment and human health. PERFORCE3 brings together world leaders in a range of disciplines (physical, synthetic, environmental and analytical chemistry, pharmacokinetics, epidemiology, toxicology, remediation science and chemical policy) with state-of-the-art technologies, to provide high quality training and research environments. ESRs will undertake individual, personalized, yet interlinked research projects, which combine training in both academic and nonacademic sectors in order to provide them with a comprehensive set of transferable skills. To meet the aims of the network, PERFORCE3 uses a supra-disciplinary approach outlined in seven work packages (WPs). Each ESR will gain deep-learning through their individual research projects within the areas of analytical tools and exposure science (WP1), toxicology and epidemiology (WP2), as well as green chemistry, remediation and policy in a WP focusing on solutions to PFAS contamination problems (WP3). As well as the in-depth knowledge gained in their own research areas, ESRs will benefit greatly from the orthogonal and complementary training opportunities within the ETN. All ESRs will gain training in translation of research results for regulatory and/or stakeholder uses (WP4) and theoretical training in their respective disciplines (WP5). Management and communication for the network will be facilitated through WPs 6 and 7. The results of PERFORCE3 will greatly improve the understanding of a globally ubiquitous contaminant class, leading to improved environmental and human health risk assessments.

ENTRAP is multidisciplinary research project aimed at developing an Energy Harvesting (EH) device which will convert the locomotion of domestic animals, i.e. animal kinetic energy, into electrical power. This device would then supply autonomous power to a wide range of wireless sensing Precision Agriculture applications. Precision Livestock Farming is used to monitor individual animals' health, behavior, location and more so as to increase the efficiency and sustainability of food production. Millions of battery powered smart collar devices used in Precision Livestock Farming are being marketed today in the EU and through ENTRAP these devices will become powered by the animals themselves. In fact, the locomotion of domestic animals hasn't been characterized as a power source at all and to develop an EH device designed specifically for free grazing animals, extensive field experiments are necessary. Experiments are designed in cooperation with the Faculties of Agriculture in Zagreb and Helsinki, and will be performed at their respective experimental farms. The host beneficiary, Tampere University of Technology, is providing supervision in electromagnetic EH device design through mentorship by asst. prof. Paavo Rasilo, an expert in modeling of electromechanical systems. To enhance the projects prospects of success and to gain knowledge necessary for the development of my future career I will be seconded to an industry leader in the EH field, ReVibe Energy(SWE). The device will be integrated at Nofence(NOR), the world's first producer of a cloud based Virtual Fencing system (a Precision Livestock Farming application). The motivation for the restart of my career arose from an academic break and subsequent 6 months spent as a goat herder which allowed for this novel research idea to develop based on my previous research in the EH field. Through the implementation of this project I will have restarted my career with a fresh incentive and thus far unperformed research.

pHioniC brings together highly synergistic expertise, research and training facilities to investigate pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a frequent and aggressive cancer that is still incurable. The programme’s central hypothesis has a strong grounding in the physiology of the exocrine pancreas. Secretion of the alkaline pancreatic juice, normally associated with digestion, leads to acidifications of the pancreas stroma resulting in an acid adaptation of pancreatic cells. We are first to propose that this adaptation facilitates PDAC initiation and progression by selecting for more aggressive phenotypes in interplay with PDAC driver mutations. pHioniC will: (i) develop models (e.g. pancreas-/PDAC-specific pH-indicator mouse) to map the pH landscape in the normal and diseased pancreas, (ii) characterize the impact of the acidic microenvironment in PDAC development and (iii) design bespoke approaches to the treatment of PDAC that exploit the unique physiology of the pancreas and utilize a combination of nanocarrier and antibody technology for targeting. Thereby, pHioniC provides an innovative interdisciplinary and intersectoral training for ESRs at the forefront of oncological research. pHioniC comprises excellent complementary basic-research, clinical, and in silico laboratories that provided the seed discoveries for this novel concept, and industrial partners with a track record in therapeutic and diagnostic development in oncology. This highly synergistic team combines the state-of-the-art research tools and translational opportunities needed to meet the most ambitious doctoral programmes. pHioniC training for ESRs covers the fields of ion transport, oncology, imaging, bioinformatics and antibody technology, and is complemented by extensive transferable skills and personalised training elements. pHioniC will establish a lasting contribution towards European doctoral training beyond the lifetime of the project.

The human body is host to a huge number of bacteria. While bacteria were first detected in human tumors over 150 years ago, our knowledge about their number, identity or effects in different human tumor types is still mostly rudimentary. Over the last few years we focused on studying the tumor microbiome. We developed multiple methods to characterize and visualize intra-tumor bacteria, taking special measures to tell apart true tumor-bacteria from contamination. Profiling over 1,800 human tumors and normal adjacent tissues demostrated that bacteria are prevalent in many tumor types and that each tumor type has a unique microbial signature. This application aims to capitalize on our cutting-edge research tools, vast experience and comprehensive preliminary data to shed light on the uncharted field of the tumor microbiome. We plan to: (1) Characterize the different microbial communities (bacteria, fungi, others) and their dynamics in human tumors. We strive to provide a near complete narrative of how bacteria are distributed in the tumor, their association with immune cells and their dynamic changes with tumor development, metastasis and drug treatments. (2) Study the effects that microbial communities may have on tumor biology, focusing primarily on tumor microbiome-mediated drug resistance and on tumor microbiome effects on tumor-associated macrophages. (3) Exploit intra-tumor microbial communities for translational opportunities and novel therapeutics, in particular as an adjunct to current mainstay therapy or delivering innovative therapeutics via live bacteria. Thus, this project will transform our understanding of the structure and function of intra-tumor microbial communities and will pave the way for us, as well as many others, to translate our findings into novel therapeutic options for cancer patients.

TECHNOCAP project is based on the industrialisation and commercialisation of a cutting-edge technology for capsule filling machines capable to significantly improve productivity, flexibility and quality of production for pharmaceutical companies. The pioneer of this disruptive project is MG2 S.r.l., industrial company specialized in the design, manufacturing and marketing of automatic machines for pharmaceuticals. Capsules are the most versatile of all dosage forms, in which one or more medicinal and inert ingredients are enclosed in a small shell or container usually made of gelatine. Nowadays, the regulatory authorities (EMA, FDA) are increasing exponentially their demand in terms of quality and dosage accuracy of the finished product. In fact, current technological solutions are reaching their limits, directly affecting the small, medium and large size pharmaceutical companies and their derived supply chain (i.e. pharmacies and consumer patients). Working in close collaboration with our customers in the pharmaceutical sector to response to inefficient methods present in the market, MG2 conceives TECHNOCAP, an innovative technology for capsule filling machines to boost the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. This technolog is able, under production rate, to control 100% of the weight/presence of all filled capsules to guarantee optimum end product quality, while enabling in real-time continuous data collection, analysis and interpretation to be used in production and quality control activities. As this project addresses MG2 commercial and technical strategies, we strongly believe that it will contribute to boost the growth of our company achieving, after 5 years of exploitation, 11% of market penetration, 28M€ of accumulated gross profit translated into a ROI ≥ 8.18 (with 70 sold machines) and a company growth of 55 new people.

The JET – Job market and Employment Transparency – project aims to increase job market and employment transparency with a unique tool allowing companies to cross-post their job advertisements all over the Internet (job boards, schools & universities, social networks) and giving them helpful analytics on the outcome of their recruitment strategy. For this matter, Multiposting can build on its notable success on the French market: since 2008, its eponymous tool has helped recruiters cross-post more than 20 million job ads on the Internet and the company has become a partner of Pôle Emploi, the French governmental agency for employment. The tool also has helped more than 15,000 recruiters monitor their recruitment strategy so far and the company is producing detailed studies on the French job market for its clients and national competitive clusters. The JET project aims to replicate the French success by setting up the product to international standards and bringing Job market and Employment Transparency to the world, beginning with Europe and targeting three pilot markets: Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

An ambitious and rich project is proposed to advance knowledge in the field of soft condensed matter Physics, and more particularly in the area of colloids and complex fluid interfaces. The main task of this proposal of fundamental nature is to investigate the physical properties of colloidal particles evolving in elasto-capillary fields, i.e. particles attached to liquid crystal interfaces. Such systems remain largely unexplored today and represent a new type of material whose properties are anticipated to be mainly governed by the coupling between capillary and elastic phenomena. Such couplings may lead to novel colloidal interactions and the subsequent discovery of new collective properties which could be exploited for designing materials with yet unknown important functions. In “CoPEC”, we will tackle the subject by using numerical simulations based on continuum theories. The objectives are to gain knowledge on (i) the behaviour of a single particle, (ii) pair interaction potentials, and (iii) self-assembly properties. We will consider solid micron-sized particles attached to both planar and curved nematic liquid crystal interfaces and vary the numerous system parameters (e.g., boundary conditions) in a systematic way. Both static and dynamic simulations will be carried out. The salient novelty of “CoPEC” is to bring together two different fields, namely the so-called (bulk) liquid crystal colloids and colloids at fluid interfaces, which have been extensively but rather independently studied so far. Capillarity, elasticity, topological defects, flow field, nematic field, interfacial deformations and interfacial curvature will be all entangled in our studies and potential breakthroughs can be reasonably expected. This innovative project will make use of the candidate’s well-recognized expertise in the above fields combined with the state-of-the-art large-scale numerical simulations on complex fluids flows of Prof. J.J. Feng at the host institution.
