Plasmons are oscillations of charge carriers in metallic nanoparticles that confine light in the nanometer length-scale. Translationally symmetric arrays of metallic nanoparticles, termed Plasmonic Super-Crystals (PSCs), can become an integral part of augmented light-harvesting technologies, like plasmonic solar cells and photocatalysts. A current limitation is that plasmons are fragile, short-living excitations, which are highly sensitive to the exact arrangement of matter at the nanoscale. The structural stability of PSCs is prone to multifarious nanomechanical motions such as nanoparticle-vibrations, colloidal phonons, and surface waves on the substrate. With this project, I aim to elucidate the role of nanomechanical motions on the plasmonic properties of PSCs. To achieve this goal I will employ White Light Absorption (WLA) to study plasmonic resonances and Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) to study mechanical resonances. Plasmonically-enhanced BLS and spectroscopic investigation of plasmons in vibrationally-excited PSCs, will be used to reveal cross-talking between the two subsystems. A momentum-resolved view of vibrational waves will be acquired with angle-resolved BLS. The experimental results will be interpreted based on frequency-domain, finite-element simulations of plasmomechanical coupling phenomena. With this approach, I intend to adopt the concept of microscopic couplings from condensed-matter Physics, to a metamaterial and determine the fundamental excitations and interactions of these artificial structures. Understanding the interplay between plasmonic and structural degrees of freedom in PSCs is expected to pave the way for their use in plasmomechanical devices.

The project EURACTE-INNOV proposed by the consortium Enterprise Europe Network EURACTE aims at the establishment, promotion and implementation of two new support services aiming at enhancing the innovation management capacity and projects of SMEs based in the Nord – Pas de Calais region, thus generating growth and competitiveness among local actors : The first service will target successful applicants under the SME instrument scheme, i.e. “SME Instrument beneficiaries”. The aim of this service will be to detect weaknesses in the projects, help the SMEs identify a coach who is competent in the particular field in order to efficiently accompany the SME in finding solutions to the identified challenges, and follow up and facilitate the SME-coach relationship in order to maximize the probability of the project to access the targeted market successfully. The second support service, “Enhancing SME innovation management capacity”, will aim at helping regional SMEs with potential for international growth, to consolidate their innovation strategy and management, in order to generate more structured innovation projects and increase their chances of success on the European market. The overall objective is to allow those SMEs to reach the required capacities to access to funding under Horizon 2020 R&D programmes.

Research towards the development of sustainable energy sources focusses on minimising our negative impact on the Earth. Towards this end investigations into the exploitation of solar power as a clean source of energy are active across multiple scientific disciplines. One approach is to utilise water splitting catalysts to generate oxygen and combustible hydrogen gas from water. This task is often split into the two halves of the problem: the oxygen evolving and hydrogen evolving sides. This project aims at the development of a new class of hydrogen evolving catalysts based on mechanically interlocked rotaxane architectures. The advantages of the proposed catalysts include mechanical protection of the catalytic centre, prevention of ligand dissociation by virtue of mechanical bonding, and assembly of the multi-component architecture in a single, rapid, high-yielding step. Initially rotaxane ligands will be synthesised using the synthetically flexible, convergent, active template (AT) methodology followed by examination of their coordination chemistry with abundant and cheap cobalt. Subsequently these structures will be assessed for their catalytic behaviour using electrochemical techniques, with structural optimisation utilised to improve their activity. We will then append photosensitising units to imbue these systems with photocatalytic activity. This MSCA would allow me to develop my skills as an independent scientist, both in terms of capitalising on the skill set during my studies in New Zealand, combined with gaining new knowledge and practical abilities, as well as enhancing my supervisory, teaching, and project management skills. Furthermore, having obtained my tertiary education (including Ph.D.) overseas, the action would facilitate my reintegration into the European scientific community and provide Europe with a highly skilled, independent scientist ready to take up the challenge of an independent research position.

European colonialism in Muslim societies represented a turning point for the powerful European influence that was widespread throughout the Middle East. With European Jews acquisition of land in Palestine, Arab nationalism started to incorporate antisemitic ideology into their texts and discourses. The creation of the Jewish state in 1948 accelerated this process. Thus, paradoxically, while the presence of antisemitism among European societies has been marginal since the end of World War II, socially and politically discredited, and even prosecuted, antisemitic voices have gained ground in the Middle East. With the immigration of the North African populations (both Jewish and Muslim) from the second half of the twentieth century, some conflicts have arisen in Europe as well, particularly, but not exclusively, in France. Therefore, the colonial period is crucial to understanding not only when, how and why European antisemitism entered northern Africa, and later returned to Europe, but above all how it interacted with the local notions and prejudices about Jews in Muslim societies. Further research is required to analyse in detail what the integration of a foreign ideology means and involves for native popular ideas and local prejudices. In this research project, the researcher will address these issues through historical anthropology and ethnography in the context of inter-religious relations in Spanish Colonial Morocco.

Unfortunately, natural disasters exist and will continue to exist in our environment. Recently, they have occurred in many areas (Sumatra-Andaman 2004 earthquake-tsunami, with 1 million people left homeless; an earthquake in Concepcion, Chile, 2010, with half a million homes destroyed and another million and a half damaged houses or the recent Nepal earthquake of 2015, with more than 130,000 houses destroyed and another 86,000 damaged). In 2015, 60 million people were displaced because of armed conflicts, climate change or natural disasters. Therefore, Huritrabe wants to develop a technology, House Printing (HoP), aimed at the construction of ephemeral houses in disaster areas through additive manufacturing that uses vernacular materials recycled "in situ". The idea arose from reproducing the collaborative work systems that exist in nature itself, such as swarms of bees, or ant colonies. Collaborative work obtains better results and allows the solution of problems of scale, impossible to crack in any other way, like in the cases of the Pyramids, Stonehenge, anthills or hives. The other sources of inspiration have been the primitive and more elemental constructions made by ancient cultures such as the Chilean Mapuche ruca, the Eskimo igloo or the simple but robust rammed earth constructions, resistant to adverse weather, earthquakes, as well as ecological and sustainable.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is very common and affects 1.8 million Europeans seeking medical help each year. TBI is a major challenge for healthcare providers and poses an enormous economic burden. For decades, TBI has been characterized by severity of symptoms for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. However, this classification system is limited since it does not allow to predict long-term outcome after TBI. This state of affairs thus hinders the advancement of TBI research and the development of therapies. The field is thus in dire need of a novel understanding and classification of the individual’s response to brain injury and, most importantly, a fresh perspective on potential targets for effective treatment and prevention of long-term impairment. My main hypothesis is that brain injury leads to a neurosteroid response with inter-individual variability and that this response is associated with the trajectory of recovery. I further hypothesize, that the most vulnerable patient cohorts, such as adolescent girls, show distinct patterns of neurosteroid response associated with an increased risk for persistent symptoms. NEUROPRECISE proposes a longitudinal cohort study 1) to characterize neurosteroid response with respect to age and sex in children and adolescents with TBI, 2) to evaluate the association of the neuroimaging derived individual injury profile with neurosteroid response, and 3) to explore individual differences in neurosteroid response as a potential target for acute therapy and prevention of chronic symptoms with respect to age and sex in a rodent model. NEUROPRECISE will overcome a critical barrier towards the treatment of TBI by establishing a novel, biological-driven way to stratify TBI patients based on inter-individual differences in the response to TBI. By exploring the individual neurosteroid response as potential therapeutic target, NEUROPRECISE will bring the power of precision medicine to neurotrauma research.

In Europe, 70% of commuters drive a car to go to work. In 90% of cases, regardless of the geographical area, the occupation ratio of a car for such commuting trips is 1:1. In the Paris region alone, this means that there are 40M seats that remain unused every day. Whilst, governments are focusing on spelling out policies to develop more sustainable urban mobility grids, the stunning success and strong growth of carpooling service websites, such as BlablaCar, Europe’s leader on long distance carpooling (growing from 3 to 10 millions of users Europe-wide), signals that the sharing-economy heralds a shift in consumer attitudes and could provide a solution to sustainable intra-city mobility. Yet, current solutions to facilitate are pooling are not-adapted to intra-city commutes. They are Geared to the Long-distance, Non-Intelligent/Automated, Inflexible and lacking critical mass: and Non-transparent. KAROS is a smart mobility platform, leveraging big data technologies, Artificial Intelligence and algorithms. The strength of KAROS lies in its commercial approach. Unlike usual B2C carpooling services, KAROS operates in an indirect model to reach its end-users, by striking partnerships with companies (>500 employees), which partly subsidise the service, in order to offer more convenient and comfortable means of transportation to their employees, at lower costs. This in turn, enables KAROS to reach large numbers of users through each partnership, as they act a multipliers and strong communication channels to promote the service. Because of these unique advantages, since January 2016, with no marketing, KAROS now counts over 25K users, 3600 of whom are active on a weekly basis.The objective of the feasibility study is to prove technical and commercial viability, and to assess KAROS expansion in other EU Markets.
