In her TED Talk 2009 the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie made an argument on „the danger of a single story“. She maintained that only plural narrations do justice to the complexity of humankind: „Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.“ Thus narrations have the power to produce a unifying experience of equal humanity. Minor Universality aims to make a substantial contribution to the debate on the problem of universality after Western universalism. Indeed, the question of how universality can be produced is crucial in times characterised by a double relativistic signature: the necessary critique of Occidental universalism, and identitarian assertions. But how can a shared human horizon be addressed? Here general narratology provides a crucial twist: if it is an anthropological characteristic of the narration to make a claim about the world as a whole starting from a singular setting, narrations create ways of extending concrete contexts towards universality. This can be analyzed in literature, in an epistemic field beyond the book and in social practices being part of global migrations. In contrast to the conceptual debate on World Literature, which addresses the question through canons and legitimacies, this project shifts the debate to narratological problems of world production: with which aesthetic means do contemporary cultural productions such as literatures, films and social media, literary festivals, architectures and museums, open up local settings so as to produce a new sensuous, embodied or intellectual awareness of universality? Re-expanding the material and medial turns to processes of consciousness and agency, the project is set to have a general impact in comparative literature and cultural studies. It will explore new literacies about the role of narration for civil imaginaries of our world and provide ways to address universality in debates about justice and legitimacy within world society.

‘Mind the gap’ is designed to advance our understanding of an important behavioural phenomenon; namely, the frequently observed gap between individuals’ intentions and subsequent behaviours. Such gaps have been widely documented in consumption behaviours and often result in people having a larger negative environmental impact than they themselves want or intend. The fellowship probes the drivers of this phenomenon through in-depth study of two areas of human behaviour, meat consumption and single-use plastics, which have a major impact on our shared environment. Existing research exploring intention-behaviour gaps has largely focused on inter-person variation, examining the influence of individual traits on the likelihood of people reporting these gaps. Far less attention has been paid to the inconsistencies that emerge in a given person’s behaviour over time. In the current work, a novel naturalistic monitoring tool will be designed and employed to examine the time-varying factors interact with individual characteristics in ways that help or hinder people from acting as they intend to. The fellowship will be based at University College Dublin and will involve a secondment to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The applicant will benefit from an extended period of ‘training-through-research’ under the supervision of Professor Liam Delaney – a leading behavioural economist with expertise in naturalistic monitoring – and Mr Faisal Naru – a behavioural public policy expert working at the OECD. This will be complemented by courses designed to develop the applicant’s technical skills, including in multilevel modelling and statistical analysis and programming in R. Widely disseminating the Fellowship’s research output will raise the applicant’s profile as a researcher, allow them to build their academic and policy networks, and significantly enhance the work’s impact on the academy, the world of practice and society more generally.

The digital transformation resulting from the implementation of Industry 4.0 changes the current IP management and understanding of the use of digital data. Data and algorithms using open source code increasingly serve as a foundation for the creation of added value in the digital economy. Data is not only considered a by-product of business activities anymore, but a strategic resource that constitutes the basis for developing and offering novel digital products, services and business models. Many of these business models will be based on the analysis and evaluation of machine generated data. Data can be valuable in economic terms and can assure a competitive advantage to those possessing them. European manufacturing SMEs do not know well how to protect and monetize digital IP and provide added value using their intangible assets such as data, methodologies, configuration of interconnected systems, 3D designs, processing algorithms. Moving towards a data-driven approach, embedded software into hardware, new questions arise concerning data sharing, data driven innovations, legal digital IP protection and data ownership. These new challenges of the European digital economy hamper inbound open innovation/IP sourcing in European manufacturing SMEs. Project Go-DIP will address these challenges with raising awareness of digital data and software IP value and positively impact IP management of up to 100 manufacturing SMEs in three Alpine innovation systems. SMEs will be able to better incorporate the software and data IP management systems into their business strategies and boost digital innovation. Valuating, monetizing data and software IP will be addressed through the use of practical cases of 60 SMEs directly involved. Guidelines, templates and cases will be developed in the Design Option Paper (DOP) using the EASME Twinning plus methodology. Results will be widely communicated and disseminated by partners and organizations supporting project Go-DIP.

This project focuses on Sun-like stars, which possess convective envelopes and universally exhibit magnetic activity (in the mass range 0.1 to 1.3 MSun). The rotation of these stars influences their internal structure, energy and chemical transport, and magnetic field generation, as well as their external magnetic activity and environmental interactions. Due to the huge range of timescales, spatial scales, and physics involved, understanding how each of these processes relate to each other and to the long-term evolution remains an enormous challenge in astrophysics. To face this challenge, the AWESoMeStars project will develop a comprehensive, physical picture of the evolution of stellar rotation, magnetic activity, mass loss, and accretion. In doing so, we will (1) Discover how stars lose the vast majority of their angular momentum, which happens in the accretion phase (2) Explain the observed rotation-activity relationship and saturation in terms of the evolution of magnetic properties & coronal physics (3) Characterize coronal heating and mass loss across the full range of mass & age (4) Explain the Skumanich (1972) relationship and distributions of spin rates observed in young clusters & old field stars (5) Develop physics-based gyrochronology as a tool for using rotation rates to constrain stellar ages. We will accomplish these goals using a fundamentally new and multi-faceted approach, which combines the power of multi-dimensional MHD simulations with long-timescale rotational-evolution models. Specifically, we will develop a next generation of MHD simulations of both star-disk interactions and stellar winds, to model stars over the full range of mass & age, and to characterize how magnetically active stars impact their environments. Simultaneously, we will create a new class of rotational-evolution models that include external torques derived from our simulations, compute the evolution of spin rates of entire star clusters, & compare with observations.

10 years after the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, indigenous stakeholders act as global players in arenas such as the UN Convention on Climate Change, the Dakota Access pipeline in the USA, and the Humboldt-Forum in Berlin. Yet, until the 1960s, anthropological inquiries considered the same people as ‘vanishing’ and doomed to disappear. The so-called Indigenous Renaissance presents a remarkable phenomenon of late (post)modernity. How can this surprising process be understood and explained? The objective of this project is to study how indigenous actors evolved from ‘vanishing people’ to global players. The project is located at the disciplinary intersections between anthropology, art, history, philosophy, and politics; and aims at making a future-oriented contribution to (re)emerging indigeneities and the (re)negotiation of their (post)colonial legacies in and with Europe. While the label ‘indigeneity’ circulates globally, it is also defined as a place-based marker of identity. This project breaks new ground by incorporating both dimensions – global circulation and local experience – in a common framework. It does so by studying entangled indigeneities as transregional and transcultural formations along the transpacific intersections between North and South America, Australia and the South Pacific. By untangling these intersections through museums as research sites and laboratories, the project’s sub-objectives are: 1. to historically identify the moments and processes through which indigenous people became re-ascribed through anthropological discourses and their involvement therein, 2. to ethnographically study the ways and forms in which indigenous people appropriate these external ascriptions for self-insertion into global affairs, 3. to experimentally research, in exhibitionary environments, the layers of indigenous continuity beneath the discursive transformation from ‘vanishing people’ to global players.

The digitalization of the energy sector enables higher levels of operational excellence with the adoption of disrupting technologies. The Energy Big Data framework of the modern smart energy networks provides an ideal ecosystem for knowledge exploitation from data. PLATOON pretends to deploy distributed/edge processing and data analytics technologies for optimized real-time energy system management in a simple way for the energy domain expert. The data governance among the different stakeholders for multi-party data exchange, coordination and cooperation in the energy value chain will be guaranteed through IDS based connectors. The project will develop and use the PLATOON reference architecture, COSMAG-compliant, for building and deploying scalable and replicable energy management solutions that contribute to increased renewable energy consumption, smart grids management, increased energy efficiency and optimised energy asset management. The PLATOON architecture and components are valuable for the different stakeholders of energy sector value chain, starting from electricity supplier, passing through the distributor, the aggregator, the ESCo until the End User. the project will be validated in 7 pilots of 4 countries that provide real Energy Big Data cases. It proposes to build the solution based on existing European standards and initiatives for managing the pilots’ data, for the access, models, interfaces, governance and sovereignty. It also foresees to report back the results to the different standardization working groups. PLATOON will facilitate the technology transfer into the market by a well established tendering process through Open Calls. The project will reinforce the European efforts for modernisation of the European electricity grid, because it focuses the attention to new smart grids services through data knowledge exploitation. Finally, the project will offer access to cheaper and sustainable energy for energy consumers and maximise social welfare.

The overall objective of EXPERT is to create an off-the-shelf mRNA-delivering nanomedicine platform that is manufactured via a quality-by-design (QbD) approach with precise nanoparticle characterization and specifications that meet the requirements for GMP scaling up and clinical translation. As proof-of-concept we will perform a first-in-man clinical study for an intratumorally administered immunostimulatory mRNA-nanomedicine in cancer patients. The work focuses on the three critical elements of the call “Innovation platforms for advanced therapies of the future” 1. EXPERT investigates mRNAs as therapeutics, which are classified as advanced therapies. 2. By showing proof-of-concept in a clinical trial we aim to meet the technical, industrial and regulatory challenges to develop a mRNA-nanomedicine formulation from bench to bedside. This opens up new treatment possibilities for a large group of cancer patients and paves the way for subsequent formulations strengthening the European advanced therapy R&D. 3. mRNA nanomedicines are a true platform technology. mRNAs are composed of four similar building blocks, resulting in a molecule with predictable qualities. This allows for a platform approach to production, purification, formulation and storage which streamlines the drug development process offering important technological progress in this field. We will encapsulate mRNA into nanocarriers. Thereby, the mRNA is protected and the physicochemical characteristics of the mRNA are overruled by the characteristics of the nanoparticle to enable target cell uptake. We have experience in state-of-the art materials to make mRNA nanomedicines. To address their complexity we will optimize nanoparticle design and manufacture via QbD. We will use microfluidic manufacture as a scalable and reproducible production technology. To characterize and manufacture the mRNA nanomedicines under GMP conditions we will use the EU-ecosystem of designated facilities within EUNCL and NANOP
