Muslim societies have been impacted since the 19th century by far-reaching processes of social and economic change as well as the development of an array of both Islamist and counter-Islamist movements. The present research project proposes to focus on Muslims whose ideas of piety are characterized by their private and individualistic character: they maintain that their piety is not subject to scrutiny by Islamist movements which value public religion as a means of societal control. Insistence on privacy (and individuality) may appear as rather a-political stance, yet, forms an eminently political position as it challenges claims to hegemony of interpretation of both established religious (and political) authorities as well as the leaders of Islamist movements. The present project asks which social and political consequences the movement towards private piety has and what private piety actually means for the social development of Muslim societies, for the development of Islamist movements and their ability to mobilize Muslims for political aims: what happens to politics in such a case? How do Islamist groups react that have to fear most from such a social movement? How also can we assess the role of women in patriarchal societies who appear to gain most from the move towards private piety? The project will approach these questions in the form of a comparative study of social and political contexts in Senegal, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan as well as Muslim (Senegalese, Tunisian, Egyptian, etc.) diasporic communities in Europe. Our trans-regional comparative perspective will enable us to identify the social dynamics linked with the movement towards private piety and will be central to respond to the question whether such dynamics of change impact on processes of democratization in the countries chosen as case studies by our research group.

Entocycle produce insect-based protein to sustainably supply feed to the aquaculture and livestock industries, replacing environmentally destructive fish and soya meals. Diet shifts and rising populations to 9.5 billion, by 2050, will see meat and fish demand increase by over 70% globally. Agri-food industries need a new sustainable source of protein as current methods of protein feed production will fall short by 60 million tonnes by 2030. Technology for automation of insect-protein production is a key industry priority as current rearing methods are not conducive to industrial scale production. Entocycle combines 150 million years of natural R&D perfection with high tech engineering to mass produce H. illucens, revolutionising the industrial production of insect-protein. Entocycle is building on expertise in H. illucens life cycle optimisation, developing the proprietary technology to efficiently breed and raise the insects in automated modular units, utilising Machine Learning and AI capabilities through partnerships with IBM and the European Space Agency. Entocycle will provide a high quality insect-protein feed to the aquaculture and livestock sector through the bioconversion of organic waste from agri-food industries, 88 million tonnes of which are created annually in Europe alone. Entocycle’s technology converts waste treatment costs into new revenue streams, producing lipids, chitin and fertilizer as by-products. Having partnered with Tesco, Entocycle has secured a direct route to market within their supply chain. During the Phase 1 feasibility study Entocycle will 1) Optimise breeding chamber production efficiency with IBM’s I.o.T, machine learning and AI platforms 2) Develop an IP portfolio, commercialisation and marketing strategies 3) Recruit further industry partners and strengthen strategic relationships 4) Further business plan and industrial feasibility. These are the key steps needed to progress Entocycle to the its next stage of industrialisation.

The Palaeogene period in the early Cenozoic (66 – 23 million year ago) saw the transition of the Earth’s climate state from Greenhouse (with no polar ice-caps, as characterised the entire Mesozoic) to Icehouse (as we see today with Polar ice caps). Understanding the dynamics in climate during such an unstable period of Earth’s climatic history is crucial for accurate forecasting of future climate change under anthropogenically-elevated atmospheric CO2. Whilst many studies have looked at particular episodes during this period (focusing on hyperthermals or the descent to icehouse in the Oligocene), there is a lack of studies which look holistically at the entire period. Furthermore, sedimentological evidence that suggests transient cool periods (local or global in scale) may have punctuated the long-term warmth of the early part of the Palaeogene have been largely overlooked as this appears to disagree with published geochemical proxy studies. This project proposes to Investigate Climatic Events, relating Cooling and Ash in the Palaeogene period (ICECAP), by generating a high resolution, multi-proxy temperature reconstruction for the exceptionally well-preserved, continuous Palaeogene succession from northern Denmark, which contain numerous thick ash horizons and enigmatic deposits associated with cold water (“glendonites”). Geochemical analysis and temperature reconstructions for other Palaeogene sites containing cold-water indicators will be undertaken in order to understand the global palaeoclimatic significance of the Danish glendonites.

Optical fiber networks is one of the major drivers of our societal progress and a key enabler of the global telecommunication infrastructure. Optical networks underwent considerable changes over the past decade, as consequence of a continuous growth (exceeding 20% per year) of bandwidth demand. The current growth sets strong requirements in terms of capacity and costs for the operators, which seek to decrease the cost per transmitted bit. Several solutions have been proposed, and among them wide-band is more favourable to network operators, compared to more/or novel fibers. However, wide-band optical system presents new major challenges: optical components must guarantee similar performance over a broad spectrum, network optimization is carried out on a non-flat spectrum and with a much larger number of channels making design, optimization and control a complex problem. Therefore, application of machine learning (ML) techniques is of the growing importance for high-capacity multi-band (MB) optical systems. ML is becoming the technique of choice to solve complex nonlinear technical problems, such as, advance component design and management of wide-band networks. The European Industrial Doctorate MENTOR presents a timely proposal to train 6 ESRs in the interdisciplinary field of high industrial importance: ML applications in multi-band optical communications. As ML can properly works only when a large amount of real data is available, it is crucial to bring together academic partners and the industry that provide access to the data. MENTOR consortium offers the strong industrial commitment of four large companies (CORIANT Germany and Portugal, ORANGE Labs and TELECOM ITALIA MOBILE) that significantly contributed in defining the research and training topics to be studied together with the world-leading academic partners in MENTOR. MENTOR will contribute to the European economy by design of the next generation of high-capacity optical networks.

Hydraredox Iberia S.L. is a Spanish SME formed as a joint venture between Hydraredox Europe Ltd and Kern Strategies & Developments, S.L. combining their skills and resources to develop and commercialize large-scale Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems (EESS). Our EESS are based on our patented vanadium-redox battery technology, which is the result of extensive research performed in the field over many years. Hydraredox has developed the only system on the market which overcomes all the major problems currently affecting large-scale electrochemical energy storage. Hydraredox’s high efficiency, long-duration storage-, long life, high operational safety and environmental performance, and commercially viable costs make it optimal for the integration of renewable energy in the electric grid. Hydraredox has successfully performed all the basic research and has already brought the technology to a demonstration scale: a 5 kW demonstration plant is installed and operated at our facilities in northern Spain. At a TRL7, our system has proved 100% reliable, high global energy efficiency (>80%), total suitability for large scale energy storage for renewables and for the electricity grid, cost efficiency (price of <580€/kWh compared to other ES systems >1.000€/kWh), no safety/environmental issues, and very long life of 30 years, twice that of other systems currently on the market. In order to move forward with our roadmap towards the commercialization of our EESS for large scale energy storage, in the VR-Energy project, we aim to further scale up our vanadium-redox battery system to 500 kW power with an energy storage capacity of 4 MWh for its actual implementation in the renewable electricity grid. The ultimate goal of our participation in the project is to become a worldwide leader in the large scale energy storage market, which is predicted to grow from €675 million in 2014 to €15.6 billion in 2024, and represents a huge business opportunity.

ANTHUSIA is a multi-disciplinary EJD in the Anthropology of Human Security in Africa proposed by a consortium of four universities in Aarhus, Edinburgh, Leuven and Oslo. Combining competences from Anthropology, Human Security and African Studies It aims to foster talent relevant to current challenges and potentials of developing safe societies in Africa. By exploring different areas from a human security perspective, the research will provide insights into problems such as expanding young populations, accelerated urbanisation, unequally distributed growth, recurring conflicts, persistent health problems, and refugee insecurity. A human security perspective shifts the focus from the security of nation states to the safety and well-being of humans in their everyday lives. Human security problems, as well as growth rates in Africa have obvious ramifications for European home security and economy. Refugee crises due to human insecurity in the African continent are likely to continue evolving in the future. We propose 15 ESR projects converging in a comprehensive understanding of human security. These address epidemics, borderlands, infrastructure, economic/livelihood security, environmental/climate change, land and resource issues, and political security – and the inter-linkages between them. To enhance the research findings’ policy impact, ANTHUSIA has partnered with organizations offering secondments, and will train them to do innovative dissemination. ANTHUSIA’s central African hub is the British Institute of East Africa, which will host workshops and summer schools. Each ESR is supervised by two senior researchers from two universities, will do one year of empirical research in Africa, including 3-5 months of secondment, participate in PhD courses and disseminate research in a thesis as well as articles, presentations, and policy briefs using visual media. The ESRs will be awarded a joint doctoral degree from the two universities, where the supervisors are based.
