The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided because it causes stiffness reduction, large deformations, and can result in a catastrophic collapse. Instead, NABUCCO considers buckling no longer as a phenomenon to be avoided, but as a design opportunity to be explored for its ground-breaking potentialities. The idea is to use buckling drawbacks in a positive way, to conceive, design and realize adaptive structures and aircraft morphing wings. These new, lighter, flexible structures will be designed considering all the potentialities offered by composite materials, thanks also to novel manufacturing processes, and modifying the boundary conditions to govern when buckling occurs and to tune multiple non-traditional post-buckling stable configurations. These structures will be able to adapt their shape during different flight conditions, acting on two of the biggest levers for the future of clean aviation: reduced weight and increased efficiency. The concepts proposed in NABUCCO will require a step change for what concerns the design, analysis and optimization methodologies, since the design space will be significantly enlarged and the designer will need the ability to identify, manage and control the buckling phenomena. These solutions can be obtained by adopting an integrated design approach established on a multi-disciplinary thinking. A strongly coupled computational-experimental framework will be developed based on novel analytical formulations, artificial intelligence techniques for large multi-objective optimizations, high-fidelity simulation methodologies and advanced test techniques.

An important element of social cohesion and contact between majorities and sub-state ethnic minorities are intermarriages, which are either welcomed as vehicles easing the tensions between nations and sub-state minorities, or criticized as important drivers of assimilation and the ‘destroyers’ of ethnic minority communities. The social aspects, family dynamics and identity construction of family members in intermarriages were not studied methodically in CEE and the WB. Therefore, the goal of the Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity (IMEI) project is to analyse the social implications of intermarriages between members of ethnic minority communities and the majority nations in Vojvodina, the multiethnic region of Serbia. The IMEI project will contribute to the state-of-the-art by analysing the social impacts of intermarriages on three levels, namely the individual (micro), the family (meso) and the societal (macro) in a significantly multi-ethnic geographic region. On the individual level the project will examine ethnic and cultural identity transformations undergone by partners in intermarriages. On the family level we will explore the processes of intergenerational transfer of ethnic, religious and cultural markers. On the societal level the project will investigate the workings of the relevant and quite modern ethnic minority policies and legal framework of Serbia and their impact on intermarriages. This research is relevant in the wider European context as well, as we will specifically target the Hungarian, Slovak and Romanian ethnic minorities living in Vojvodina, whose kin-states (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania) are members of the European Union, whose members often have dual Serbian and EU citizenship and are therefore subject to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, the European Union’s key policies for the protection of (its) minorities.

Today, in the digital era society is evolving at a rapid pace and investing in education have vast social and economic advantages for it. It is the education that allows people to have access to SDGs 4. It is not argued that a better educated people break away from poverty more easily, help to reduce inequalities and achieve gender equality; they are more tolerant, they contribute to reduce crime, to increase political and civic participation and generally to have more peaceful societies with reduced inequalities and imbalances. Within this context the project brings together European, Asia and African academic and non-academic organizations in a staff exchange program, with the goal to explore, design and deploy innovative and context sensitive solutions for transforming higher education systems. This international and multi-sector consortium is created as a platform for collaboration and is united by the principles of innovation, partnership and solidarity with the purpose to research and identify successful contemporary models and modern instruments that can help higher education transformation and support the sustainable and effective adaptation of the higher education systems of the consortium members to the digital age. The aim of the project is study the process of digitalisation in different organisations and offer solutions concerning the improvement of the digitalisation practices. The project consortium comprises both academic and non-academic partners as well as experts in diverse fields such as, but not limited to, economics, law, management, linguistics. This allows a broad and an in-depth approach to digitalisation. On the basis of the identified gaps in the digitalisation process, the project will propose approaches and methodologies which will be realised as different disciplines for the academic institutions’ partners in order to build sustainable competences for the transfer of knowledge and skills.

Why do government structures change? Traditionally, the answer refers to political parties exercising control over a state bureaucracy. Yet government structures have been changing ever since they emerged alongside the modern state and thus already before parties existed. The recent decline of party government worldwide also begs the question whether other actors and mechanisms matter that have been underestimated so far. Meanwhile, it became a truism that “structure shapes policy”, but existing research focuses on other effects of structural change in government, such as democratic and economic outcomes or cabinet governance. We lack systematic analyses of how structural change affects government policy. To address these gaps, STATE-DNA studies the change of units inside ministries and agencies as the ‘building blocks’ of the modern state. It submits a novel theory of evolutionary government that regards structural change in government as an interplay between a unit’s structural features and its organizational and environmental environment. This notion of multiple levels allows to study more than ‘party-centric’ causes of change and, for the first time, to analyze the effects on government policy explicitly, as evolutionary consequences managed by distinct units. STATE-DNA breaks new ground by applying genetic measures to assess structural change in government, establishing the most comprehensive data set, which begins with the ‘primordial soup’ of the early 19th century when government structures fragmented (~150,000 units, six countries, 1815–2025). For the empirical analyses, existing (historical) data on legislative activity, organizational, and environmental features will be used and extended. STATE-DNA will exploit methodological advancements in biology, such as data assimilation techniques, to analyze the origins and consequences of structural change in government and to forecast such change, thereby injecting a predictive notion into government studies.

Plasma physics has seen a long tradition of deriving simplified models such as magnetohydrodynamics through a process known as closure: starting from computationally demanding kinetics and following various analytical approximate schemes resulting in fluid-type models which are less accurate but more tractable. Due to smaller computational footprint these models have found applications in space weather modelling and fusion. The problem is that in many interesting applications, e.g. where collisions between particles are rare, the analytic closures have limitations. The goal of STRIDE (Systematic Techniques for Robust Inference and Data-driven Explainable closures for plasma) is to use machine learning to construct models with fewer degrees of freedom that describe kinetic processes relevant for Geospace Environmental Modelling (GEM), such as magnetic reconnection. Corrections to fluid-type models will be learned with deep neural networks and equation discovery and tested in numerical simulations. The important challenge involves understanding how such surrogates can be made robust against out-of-distribution shifts (i.e. different physical conditions) and numerical instabilities. Thus the closures will be first trained on data generated by high fidelity physics-based model, e.g. kinetic Particle-in-Cell simulations, for a specific set of parameters and then transfer learning will be applied to a different set of parameters to improve robustness. Uncertainty quantification and the ability to generate extremes will be investigated. The scientific question to be addressed here include: how can we interpret the trained models using explainable AI, what are the optimal ways of performing transfer learning and fine-tuning on the observational data, are there physical considerations (such as conservation laws or symmetries) that can reduce the costs associated with training such machine learning models? Trained models will be made open-source to foster research.

Ribosomes, once considered uniform molecular entities, are now recognized for their compositional heterogeneity, challenging traditional views on their role in gene expression. This has led to the hypothesis of 'specialised' ribosomes that selectively translate specific mRNA subsets, though the extent of this specialisation, particularly in cell fate determination, remains debated. Recent findings suggest that rRNA modifications, such as 2’-O methylation, may drive ribosomal specialisation during cellular differentiation. However, how these modifications translate into specialised functions is still poorly understood. Current methods like ribosome profiling (RiboSeq) offer limited resolution, particularly at the isoform level and in untranslated regions (UTRs), limiting our ability to fully elucidate ribosome specialisation. To address this, I propose NANORIBS, a novel nanopore-based ribosome profiling technique that achieves single-molecule resolution of ribosome footprints on full-length mRNAs. This method leverages long-read sequencing to preserve critical information such as poly-A tail length and UTR sequences, essential for understanding ribosome-mRNA interactions. NANORIBS will investigate the role of specific rRNA methylations, particularly the 18S:355Um modification, in neuronal cell fate commitment. By offering unprecedented insights into the molecular mechanisms governing ribosome-mediated translation regulation during differentiation, NANORIBS could revolutionise our understanding of gene expression control at the translational level. Deciphering the functional consequences of rRNA modifications could lead to new therapeutic targets and strategies for diseases linked to aberrant cell differentiation, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. NANORIBS not only advances ribosome biology but also paves the way for future research into the broader implications of ribosomal specialisation in health and disease.

Marine microbial communities perform critical life sustaining functions on Earth and represent a vast unexploited treasure trove of bioresources that have the potential to strengthen the European blue economy. To unlock this hidden potential, as well as responsibly conduct biodiscovery from marine microbes requires multiple developments. We need to amalgamate and apply advanced technologies to elucidate the composition, interactions and functional repertoire of the marine microbiome, while concomitantly ensuring sustainable and equitable exploitation, maintaining ocean health, and improving ocean literacy through an improved appreciation of ocean microbes. To address these needs, BlueRemediomics will: (1) develop and provide an integrated bioinformatics platform to explore the marine microbiome potential; (2) establish innovative culturomics and high-throughput screening platforms to experimentally exploit consortia of marine microbes; (3) apply the platforms to identify and develop natural products derived from marine microbes; (4) foster aquaculture and ecosystem services that embody the “do no significant harm” principle; (5) maximise equitable access to ocean microbiome resources and increase awareness of the marine microbiome to a diverse range of stakeholders; (6) Provide training, tools and resources to a variety of stakeholders. To achieve these objectives, BlueRemediomics interlinks an advanced “Discovery Platform” with “Applications”, so designed to facilitate cyclical and iterative crosstalk. By federating multiple, currently fragmented key data resources, the Discovery Platform will accelerate new product identification and development, reduce resource dependence, raise consumer benefits and address key societal issues. New modalities in access and benefit sharing will be established that balance sustainable and equitable use of marine genetic resources with intellectual property protection.

A circular bio-based economy is a key element of a European low carbon economy and is projected to increasingly contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, decreased dependence on fossil resources and drive economic growth over the next decades. It can help meet the European Green Deal's goals, including its plan to reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. It also contributes to other EU initiatives, including the Circular Economy Action Plan, the Biodiversity Strategy, Zero Pollution action plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy . EU biorefineries producing bio-based products are expected to be an important part of the circular bio-based economy. Moreover, deployment of biorefineries that utilise EU biomass will increase safe supply of raw materials, decrease emissions, and create jobs and business opportunities, especially in rural areas. Approximately 300 chemical and material driven biorefineries at commercial or demonstration scale are located in the EU . PROMOFER project will address the valorisation of two kinds of feedstock (lignocellulosic biomass and food industry waste) through the improvement of the fermentation processes and downstream purification. It will be produced 3 SSbD, circular bio-based products 1, 2) polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) to be used in geotextile nets applications (agriculture sector) and coated paper packaging applications (packaging sectors); 3) 2,3-Butanediol (2,3-BDO) to produce bio-based PU for the technical textile applications in the fashion industry sector. The integration of these waste streams as biorefinery feedstocks will allow reducing the volumes of landfilled waste, improving competitiveness, resource efficiency and opening new opportunities for the bioplastics production with added advantages of environmental performances and social acceptance.
