The objective of the proposal is the design and development of an innovative system for the functional testing of aircraft. The key development and innovation points are: Autonomous working mode, potentially in the absence of the operator, along with the autonomous management of the failures (smart assistance for error management); should a failure be detected, the system will propose the possible causes, also generating a non-compliance form, without the intervention of one operator. Shrink the time needed to produce a complete ATP (Acceptance Test Procedure), along with the necessary reporting. Distributed architecture: the complexity and wired links length is significantly reduced by adopting a multi-function main unit, wireless connected with interchangeable peripherals and thus simply placing a single (small) unit near the device to be monitored. High modularity, achieved by: 1) a variable number of boards that can be plugged on the bus; 2) different peripheral modules that can be included in the architecture. Completeness: the test bench will perform a complete sequence of tests, providing the stimulation signal and verifying the correctness of the results. Logging: the results achieved by each individual test will be recorded, ensuring the future traceability (logging mode active for both the main unit and peripherals). The architecture of the system will consist of: 1) a rugged PC, working as a global controller, connected with the company server. 2) a series of peripheral units, connected with the measurement points and wirelessly linked to the controller.

S2QUIP will introduce a paradigm shift in the development of scalable cost-effective integrated-chip quantum light sources. Scalable quantum light sources are of significant importance for the future quantum photonics technology applications. Current technologies still lack on-chip scalability due to the cumbersome integration of quantum light sources (e.g. quantum dots or crystal defects) that require a high-quality bulk matrix environment to operate. Here, S2QUIP aims to utilize atomically flat two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconductors to provide maximum flexibility for incorporation of quantum light sources into scalable photonic chip architectures using surface processing instead of bulk processing. Single and entangled photons will be deterministically generated using 2D semiconductors and efficiently coupled to on-chip cavities and multiplexed using integrated waveguides, switches, and beam-splitters. This approach will allow the demonstration of useful entangled photon states in a deterministic and scalable fashion that far surpasses the state-of-the-art using bulk semiconductors and optics. S2QUIP’s ambitious goal is to achieve 20 multiplexed quantum light sources that can fulfill the long-awaited expectation of scalable on-chip quantum light sources for numerous quantum technologies (e.g., large-scale quantum computation, communication and sensing).

Aim of the proposed project is a) development and establishment of insect-inspired capillary nanostamping (IICN) as next-generation contact nanolithography, b) replacing state-of-the-art lithographic and synthesis protocols requiring use of sacrificial templates or time-consuming self-assembly steps by IICN and c) significant IICN-driven acceleration and upscaling of the production of extended nanostructured systems. To meet these aims, IICN stamp design will be inspired by insect feet depositing small secretion droplets through arrays of hairy contact elements on counterpart surfaces. Monolithic IICN stamps extending cm2 will consist of spongy ink-filled substrates connected to extended arrays of spongy nanoscale dispensing elements with diameters in the 100 nm range (density up to ~130 dispensing elements per square micron). Ink supplied through the spongy pore systems forms capillary bridges between each dispensing element and counterpart surfaces, thus enabling massively parallel capillary bridge-guided nanorod synthesis. Capillary bridge rupture during stamp retraction leads to massively parallel lithographic deposition of ink nanodroplet arrays (target nanodroplet volume: a few 10 zeptolitres). IICN model applications include production of a) ultrathin nanoporous membranes for separation; b) ordered silicon nanostructures by IICN-supported metal-assisted etching; c) nearly-ergodic arrays of encapsulated liquid nanocontainers for massively parallel ensemble nanochemistry or ensemble tracing of single molecules; d) nearly-ergodic biochips for massively parallel analyte detection with single-molecule resolution. As example for substitution of time-consuming self-assembly in nanomaterial synthesis by IICN, IICN-accelerated production of ordered nanoporous alumina will be studied. To pave the way for upscaling and potential commercialization of IICN, high-throughput IICN devices for automated operation in batch and continuous roller modes will be constructed.

The project aims at an in-depth inquiry into a 17th-century unpublished manuscript bearing the translation of Petronius’ Satyricon into Italian. The translation represents a unique document, not only because it is likely to be the first version of Petronius into a modern language, but also because it proves the diffusion of the Satyricon even within the public of popular readers. The Satyricon - commonly ascribed to Petronius Arbiter (c. 27-66 AD) - is one of the earliest works classifiable as a novel and is considered a masterpiece of the Latin literature, if not of literature itself. Because of its erotic and irreverent contents, in the age of the Counter-Reformation the Satyricon was included in the list of the books forbidden by the Catholic Church. But, for the very same reason, in the 17th Century, Petronius enjoyed great success among French and Italian libertine élites (freethinkers). Surprisingly enough, the Italian translation proves that Petronius’ forbidden novel also reached un-latined readers. In fact, the material features of the manuscript show that the translation was copied by a professional scribe for clandestine diffusion and that it actually circulated across Italy. Moreover, the quality of the translation shows that its anonymous author was not a person of letters or a scholar, since in several passages he completely misunderstands Petronius’ text. Further, the Italian used by the translator displays regional (Venetian) elements that are far from the Italian literary tradition. The research will be conducted by the means of an interdisciplinary approach, combining the research methods of philology, linguistics, history of the book, history of literature and socio-cultural history. The project will bring a substantial contribution in the field of Early Modern History, showing the emergency of the new public of popular readers and concretely tracking down the circulation of heterodox ideas in the Age of the Counter-Reformation.

The Organic-PLUS project has the overall aim of providing high quality, trans-disciplinary, scientifically informed decision support to help all actors in the organic sector, including national and regional policy makers, to reach the next level of the EU’s organic success story. By doing so organic food systems can be more true to organic principles but equally to the EU Bioeconomy agenda. Organic-PLUS objectives are to: 1) identify and valorise contentious inputs currently used in European agriculture 2) provide specific technical solutions to minimise or phase-out their use 3) provide environmental, social and economic assessments of phase-out scenarios 4) disseminate and broker knowledge, ideas and results to maximise impact. We use a trans-disciplinary research approach; the consortium includes 11 universities and 15 multi-actors from 9 EU and 3 associated countries. We combine scientists from many academic disciplines with advisors, farmers and other stakeholders in participatory research design. Organic-PLUS has three large ‘topical’ workpackages called PLANT (researching alternatives to copper and mineral oils), LIVESTOCK (researching alternatives to synthetic vitamins, antibiotics and novel animal bedding) and SOIL (researching alternatives to peat, animal-derived fertilisers and plastic mulch). The topical work is supported by IMPACT (researching consumer conceptions of contentious inputs and disseminating knowledge together with stakeholders) and by MODEL (using sustainability assessment methodology to deliver phasing-out scenarios). The LEAD workpackage is also responsible for managing the International Scientific and the European Industry advisory boards ensuring impact to industry and policy development. The results of the project are disseminated through peer-reviewed and farmer-facing publications, social media, on-farm events and international conferences and we will also ensure impact through citizen juries and engagement with policy makers.

The TGL project questioning the governance of the energy transition in law. It first raises the question of the actor’s energy transition, thus of an energy democracy: should States be the only ones to participate in this transition? International, EU or French Law, enlightening the necessity of all actors, public and private. Then the case of NGO appears clearly as one of most important, as they can act in compliance with law as responsible partner of states and wide public. The TGL project intends to check and verify whether this involvement is lead and be effective through mechanisms putted in place by states. In such a case, how the practice of NGOs in renewable energies system reflects their role. However, the project will consider the ambivalent role of NGOs especially when it comes to lobbies for sensitive issues. First, the project will identify the functions and the role, then this will be examining.

This project will be the first comparative and transnational intellectual history of feminist thought and women’s rights discourses in three East Central European countries: the German Democratic Republic (GDR), Hungary, and Yugoslavia from 1945 until 1956, the early years of de-Stalinisation. Drawing on a wide range of sources in four languages, and integrating the voices of women from ethnic and sexual minorities, this innovative project will trace the circulation and transfer of feminist ideas in the region during the crucial period of ‘building socialism’, when communist regimes were implementing radical policies to achieve the emancipation of women. This project reinterprets the story of feminism in the region in relation to state socialism and the history of state socialism through the lens of feminism. It also refines and challenges both the notion that women’s equality was fulfilled by state socialism and that there was no feminism behind the “Iron Curtain.” Socialist regimes claimed to have solved the ‘women’s question’ and dismissed feminism as outdated and unnecessary. But this project argues that feminist ideas informed a variety of intellectual and political discourses after 1945, including both official discourses of women’s rights, and more critical perspectives on questions such as the limits of political participation, reproductive rights, the uneven and highly gendered division of domestic work and even violence against women. This project will reconstruct the multiplicity of official and unofficial feminist discourses circulating in East Central Europe even during the period of Stalinism. By situating the broad variety of sources in their local, regional and transnational contexts, this project integrates feminist political thought and women’s rights discourses in these three East Central European countries into the broader European intellectual tradition and within a larger intellectual history of global feminisms.

Cancer complicates 1 in 1000 pregnancies representing an important health challenge that affects both mother and child. In a series of breakthrough clinical studies, the hosting lab has shown that chemotherapy given during pregnancy is relatively safe for the infants in the short term. However, children born after in utero exposure to chemotherapy are often small for their gestation age, present with lower IQ scores and have higher risk to wear glasses, suggesting possible long-term health effects. Because chemotherapy elicits (epi)genetic alterations to cancer patients, we hypothesize that chemotherapy-mediated long-term health effects could be due to (epi)genetic changes in the offspring of women treated with chemotherapy during pregnancy. Thus, SCAR aims to determine whether in utero exposure to carboplatin may be linked to DNA damage in the offspring. My objectives are to 1) identify the genetic damage at single cell level and 2) determine epigenetic modifications; in umbilical cord blood cells of children in utero exposed to carboplatin. To this end, I will integrate highly innovative sequencing techniques and the access of the hosting team to a unique registry of pregnant cancer patients. As the phenotypic expression of these genetic alterations could take decades to appear, studying the underlying molecular epi(genetic) changes at birth, will provide more immediate evidence than long-term clinical follow-up, and will be instrumental to define safe and solid treatment guidelines for pregnant cancer patients. Through this work, I aim to broaden my scientific expertise (including technical and transferable skills) and my international network for pursuing an academic career in Europe. The MSCA-IF will be instrumental to actualize many objectives outlined in my career development plan in order to become an independent researcher in the genetic oncology field.

In spite of the expected annual growth rate (47%) of Internet data consumption and speed requirements, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are suffering from the continuous erosion of traditional services revenues (voice & messaging) due to a) the fierce competition between them and b) the irruption of Over-The-Top applications (Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc.). To cope with the growing demand while increasing revenues, ISPs will have to leverage currently deployed infrastructures as much as possible, monetising the Internet consume data. Tessares has developed the Multipath App (MPA), an innovative software which is able to combine all the ISP’s existing access technology investments (4G/5G mobile Internet, WiFi hot-spots and Community WiFi) to better deliver current and emerging internet-based services. The MPA is the first downloadable app to offer higher speed, reliability and on-the-move consistency by enabling smartphones to simultaneously combine WiFi and 4G/5G networks. ISPs are Tessares´ primary target market. Tessares has commercial agreements already with several ISPs that have shown interest in the MPA approach. Moreover, Tessares is in discussion with other ISPs worldwide to establish future commercial agreements. The MPA solution will be sold through software licences, maintenance software and professional services. There are two key aspects that define the entry market strategy of Tessares: 1) Detecting the early adopters, and 2) Speed to market. Based on these aspects and the high scalability of the MPA, the product will be introduced in Europe in 2021 (right after the end of the project), in Asia, North America and Australia in 2022, and in other markets in 2023. The MPA represents a real innovation for the Internet Service Providers´ needs, being capable to create 10 new direct jobs during the project and generating over €144M of revenues during the period 2021-2025. Moreover, another 30 employees will be hired during the same period.
