The Master Planning and Monitoring project (so called AMPLE3 ) is to support the SESAR3 Joint Undertaking (S3JU) in planning and reporting on deployment activities in deployment (covering both industrialisation and implementation), and when need be, to contribute to the update the European ATM MP. The project provides Content Integration (CI) service to S3JU in support of the development activities and the delivery of a coherent set of SESAR Solutions aligned at content level with the S3JU MAWP direction and ambitions declined from the European ATM MP. While earlier SESAR Programmes addressed phases A, B and C of the SESAR Vision, the SESAR 3 JU Multi Annual Work Programme (MAWP) presents the strategic Research and Innovation (R&I) roadmaps of the Digital European Sky (DES) Programme to achieve also Phase D of the SESAR Vision. The MAWP identified several Transversal Activities (TA) to make the DES Programme not just a list of disconnected projects but a coherent programme, supporting delivery of SESAR Solutions.

The rail freight sector is facing a multitude of challenges such as lack of network capacity and productivity. Manual processes still entail worker’s safety risks. Rail must adopt the emerging digital technologies to meet the customer needs. FP5-TRANS4M-R brings together 71 partners from end-users, large industry, railway undertakings – operators and wagon keepers, SMEs, academia and research, delivering on the rail freight sector’s commitment to increase of the modal split share to 50% by 2030 revoking the causality between economic growth in Europe and pollution as well as congestions, positively impacting Europe’s citizens quality of life. FP5-TRANS4M-R’s overall goal is to establish rail freight as backbone of the lowest emission and most resilient logistics chain in Europe fulfilling the end customer requirements to their full satisfaction. Two technology clusters “Full Digital Freight Train Operation (FDFTO)” and “Seamless Freight Operation” will develop, validate and demonstrate the FP5-TRANS4M-R technologies following an integrated systemic approach across the sector, in a competitive manner - as only then the expected automation benefits can be fully realised. Integrating DAC-enabled solutions at non- arguable interoperability with software defined systems and digital rail services will lead to increased capacity, higher throughput and shorter transportation duration. It will strengthen the cross-border coordination and cooperation between rail infrastructure managers and finally deliver optimised overall management of the rail network. FP5-TRANS4M-R's credo is: seamless, integrated, interoperable, validated and EU-wide authorised solutions, to achieve a single EU rail freight technology framework with strictly managed interfaces for an effective system integration and seamless operation across countries, actors and modes. These objectives set the foundation, frame, and ambition for the project with an impact on the overall transport and logistics sector in EU.

The RAPTORplus consortium gathers excellent research institutions, academic hospitals and non-academic particle therapy (PT) centres, industrial corporations and public organisations. It offers a platform for intercultural, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training and education of doctoral candidates (DCs) in the field of medical physics focussing on right-time adaptive PT. The assembled infrastructure and expertise from academia, clinic and industry is needed to address the challenges of personalised adaptive PT. PT is a precise form of radiotherapy with a growing number of centres treating patients. It targets localised cancers while sparing healthy tissue, but might deliver suboptimal doses in case of anatomical changes. To exploit the full potential of PT, fast and safe online treatment adaptations must be enabled and performed if beneficial, e.g. indicated by image-based biomarkers, biological models or other response data. The research projects conducted at academic and non-academic facilities will tackle (1) the efficient realisation of online-adaptive PT (OAPT), (2) the technological completion for broad and safe use of OAPT, and (3) a further treatment personalisation by biomarker-based adaptation. The network uses a multi-sectoral approach to ensure that the DCs develop scientific, clinical and practical industry-relevant skills. The holistic training programme includes in-person training camps, online trainings, project-specific secondments, training in tutoring, research communication, entrepreneurship and science policy, and opportunities to participate in international conferences and professional networks. RAPTORplus will train the next generation of research leaders, medical physicists and entrepreneurs to be aware of the necessity of right-time adaptive PT. They will drive innovation in the coming era of adaptive PT and improve cancer care through enduring international and cross-sectoral collaborations based on their transformative thinking.

STRIDE will provide a new, comprehensive and comparative knowledge-base on effective education reforms, policy initiatives and interventions aimed at reducing inequalities in education, training and learning outcomes in Europe. STRIDE will do this through analyses of education reforms in national and regional systems, existing large-scale educational assessment data and existing longitudinal data on the causal link between educational and other social policies and inequalities in educational achievements. In examining the learning progress of students over time, STRIDE will closely examine to the range of intersectional variables such as socio-economic background, gender, (dis)abilities, migration status, home language, early childhood education and care (ECEC) attendance, which may affect learning outcomes in different ways in different contexts. The project will combine diverse methods, data and disciplines (comparative education, political science, education science, sociology) in innovative ways: mapping at national and regional levels on (1) education reforms in the past 25 years by policy analysis, (2) longitudinal trends of inequalities in educational achievement by quasi-experiment analysis of existing large-scale educational assessment data, and (3) effect of education reforms and interventions by analysis existing longitudinal data and registry data following student cohorts over time combined with a qualitative inquiry into policymakers' perspective. Through the involvement of national and European stakeholders, STRIDE will develop methodology and assessment tools for policy learning offering policymakers a toolbox of enhanced knowledge of what shapes educational outcomes over time and demonstrating the usefulness of longitudinal data in policy-making to reduce educational inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

Large parts of sub-Saharan Africa have no or only limited access to the electricity grid. Therefore, many farmers cannot adequately cool their product. This results in an enormous loss and waste of food, which is responsible for more than 10% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Cooling the food by inefficiently using generators on fossil fuels – the most common alternative – is not climate friendly either. AGRI-COOL will address both problems with a containerized solution in which food can be stored and cooled. It combines the use of photovoltaic technology, thermal energy storage by phase change materials, chillers, and smart control strategies to offer an affordable, scalable and climate friendly solution. The AGRI-COOL system will be demonstrated in rural communities in South Africa, Cape Verde, Somalia, and Zimbabwe to showcase its adaptability to different climatic conditions. A life cycle assessment following the cradle-to-grave approach will be conducted to show the system’s impact on environment and Paris targets compared with competing approaches. A comprehensive market and business strategy will be developed for adoption of the system after the project. Training programs for farmers, technicians, and engineers that are tailored to local conditions will ensure that the system can be installed, operated, and maintained locally. Lastly, an advanced course for third party engineers from various African countries will be organized on the design, customization, and broader economic and social aspects of the system. AGRI-COOL is going to empower rural African communities and industries by enhancing food security, reducing waste and fostering economic growth while contributing to achieve the African countries’ targets of the Paris Agreement. A balanced consortium with about the same share of person months and budget for African and European partners ensures that African problems are tackled by solutions tailored to African conditions.

Cholangiocytes are the mCholangiocytes are the main cell type lining the epithelium of the biliary tree, a network of conduits which drain the liver from bile produced by hepatocytes. While the role of cholangiocytes have been broadly studied in the context of cholangiopathies, their role in chronic liver disease affecting hepatocytes is often overlooked despite growing evidence that they play a central role in disease progression, regeneration, and cancer. Thus, understanding the mechanisms controlling the regenerative potential of cholangiocytes is essential to develop new therapies promoting tissue repair or blocking tumour formation. However, the study of these mechanisms has been restricted by technical and conceptual barriers especially in human. Here, we propose to bypass these limitations by developing an innovative program of research combining functional experiments in organoids, single cell analyses on human primary tissue and preclinical studies in animal models. We will use this approach to specifically address the role of cholangiocytes in chronic liver disease. More precisely, we aim to uncover the mechanisms driving cholangiocytes activation, plasticity and transformation. Importantly, we hypothesise that these different processes are interlinked and share common factors. The FunChol program will systematically address these questions in the context of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). This chronic disease and its progressive form Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) represent the most rapidly rising cause of liver cirrhosis worldwide and there is currently no therapy for this major health care challenge. Overall, this multidisciplinary proposal will reveal the molecular interplays by which liver injuries can affect cholangiocytes and how in turn cholangiocytes react to improve tissue repair or to aggravate disease. This research will pave the way for the development of new therapeutics controlling regeneration to limit disease progression.

Current global changes are increasing frequency and intensity of extreme drought events, with severe consequences for ecosystems. Recent evidence of ecological memory formation upon recurrent disturbances — defined as the capacity of past events to influence current ecosystem responses —, challenges our ability to simulate future ecosystem response to drought. Yet an important question remains: is ecological memory a fundamental feature regulating how ecosystem functioning responds to extreme climatic events? EcoMEMO aims at filling this large knowledge gap, with a focus on soil microbial communities, for which I previously showed ecological memory of drought. Soil microbes regulate important biogeochemical processes for carbon and nutrient cycling. They also possess an enormous taxonomic and functional diversity which allows for potential short-term adaptation. By embracing new approaches to study microbial ecology under drought conditions and new experimental facilities targeted to test ecological memory under realistic climate scenarios, I aim to quantify the importance of ecological memory of drought and identify its mechanisms. All this makes EcoMEMO potentially ground-breaking towards our understanding of soil microbial community response to climate change. My overarching hypothesis is that ecological memory is a common phenomenon in soil microbial communities, attenuating negative effects of extreme drought on the processes they mediate. I also hypothesize that microbial community transition to alternative stable states during exposure to extreme drought underpins the positive effect on biogeochemical cycling. Combining soil biogeochemistry, molecular ecology and mathematics I will: - quantify ecological memory across ecosystems and its consequence for soil processes; - assess legacies of previous drought events within soil biotic and abiotic properties; - identify features of soil microbial community dynamics underpinning ecological memory formation.

The communication networks of the future are expected to manage an explosive demand for connectivity and be sufficiently robust to deliver on all the promised benefits of 5G and 6G. A significant challenge to achieving such ambitions is the “energy crunch”: the use of increased power will inevitably create problems for enhancing bandwidth. However, the ICT sector itself has the potential not only to solve the energy crunch in networks but also to deliver significant savings on energy costs. My Fellowship addresses this energy crunch and energy efficiency in future networks. This project will develop a comprehensive design of an energy-efficient communication network that can manage the colossal demands for data. It will combine top-down and bottom-up energy analyses to obtain a comprehensive view of energy use and trends. It shall survey equipment over time and renormalize them based on the latest developments in the field of semiconductor electronics. My work will facilitate building new models for emerging technologies such as 5G/6G core and federated artificial intelligence. By establishing an accurate picture of energy trends, it will establish key benchmarks and challenges for products and emerging technologies related to their energy use and sustainability. It will present strategies for sustainable deployment and operation of technologies and ways to maximize their impact on sustainability across society. Its outcomes will lead to the enhancement of energy efficiency of communication networks and support European Commission’s digital strategies, e.g., to sustain a green, secure and resilient IT infrastructure.

Methodologies for assessing the ambition of national climate pledges are in theory guiding international negotiations processes under the UN. To this end, pledges are compared to national emissions scenarios that represent an equitable share of the global scenarios and of the effort they require to achieve the Paris Agreement goals. These equitable national emissions scenarios do not yet inform how they can be achieved through a combination domestic action and international cooperation though transfers of mitigation outcomes. As discussions move beyond pledges into action, informing subnational emissions objectives and international finance in line with the Paris Agreement and its equity principle can help implement mitigation globally. Internationally, global socio-economic scenarios inform the cost-optimal geographic distribution of mitigation effort, hypothesising sufficient finance. Equity-based scenarios provide the total effort that each actor should provide, possibly through international support. The difference between the scenario sets represents international finance that developed countries can use to fund part of their fair share in developing countries. Subnationally, state and city governments often aspire to deliver mitigation beyond their fair shares of the national targets and align with the Paris Agreement goal. A multilevel quantitative ambition assessment framework can serve as a basis to discuss the respective roles and efforts of subnational governments as part of a country or of subnational alliances. This project seeks to quantify 1) subnational emissions trajectories consistent with the Paris Agreement goals and 2) the international emissions mitigation support that each country can receive or provide to fulfil its equitable emissions scenario cost-optimally. The goal is to provide the most comprehensive and unified peer-reviewed climate ambition assessment framework to inform climate negotiations and IPCC reports.
