Building on earlier experiences such as LEAP-Agri, Belmont Forum and JPI FACCE, the project will implement a range of joint activities, contributing to the creation of a strong and effective trans-national, European-African-Latin America and the Caribbean research and innovation network and the better coordination and synergising of national, international and EU research programmes relevant to food security under climate change evolution. The joint call will focus on regional food systems within a global perspective and addressing: - Assessing climate change-related risks for food value chains, including impacts on prices, international trade and food security, and resulting changes in consumer behaviours. The three dimensions of sustainability will be adressed: social-cultural, economic, and environmental (including climate change mitigation); - Improving resilience and reducing volatility in agri-food production and food markets to sustainably improve food security in the context of climatic variation; - Reducing food losses under climate change including through novel approaches to valorise side streams and reduce food waste. The first pillar of the proposal relates to the preparation and implementation of a joint call for proposals for collaborative research and innovation projects, funded by European, African and South American national research funding agencies, with additional support from the European Commission. In addition, the call will be co-funded by some Belmont Forum members. These countries does not want to participate to the EU project but will be surely, as Belmont forum, member participating to the call, funding their national teams without any top up from the European Commission. The projects selected through the call will focus on achieving goals of mutual benefit for Member States, Associated Countries and Africa and South America countries, based on a balanced and cooperative approach.

Obesity has already reached epidemic proportions. In 2016 more than 1.9 billion adults worldwide were overweight, thereof 650 million obese. In Europe alone weight problems and obesity are increasing at a rapid rate with over 50% of EU's population overweight in 2014. Alone, adult obesity takes up roughly 7% of national healthcare expenditure of individual countries and is estimated to cost the EU 70 billion euros annually through healthcare costs and lost productivity. Current solutions are not working. This is where Algalif's revolutionary solution - a commercial fucoxanthin production from the microalgae Isochrysis galbana - comes into play. Through current product of astaxanthin, Algalíf Iceland has developed a niche in the global microalgae arena in optimizing cultivation parameters. The in-house designed photo-bio-reactor (PBR) cultivation system, with full contamination control and no supply disruptions, ensures optimal growth of the microalgae. Currently, it delivers the highest industry reported yield of a pure product (7%). This sustainable production method will be adapted to the production of fucoxanthin - a natural antioxidant with unique qualities to modulate specific gene and protein expression which in turn can prevent fat accumulation. The unique qualities of the compound are known but current methods of harvesting fucoxanthin from brown seaweed (macroalgae) hinder market growth due to; 1) concentration of fucoxanthin is significantly lower than in microalgae; 2) harvesting is time-consuming and seasonal; 3) seaweed is foodstuff in many parts of the world; 4) it is not sustainable due to climate change. Algalíf's production has high concentration of fucoxanthin, it is sustainable, cost-effective and easily scalable to meet increasing market needs. If successfully brought to market, it will be the first commercially available fucoxanthin product from Isochrysis microalgae.

The increasingly technology advances in the genetic field and consumer awareness about their health have led to a rising demand for genetic tests during last years. Genetic tests analyse gene variants of the individual genetic code, providing information about their physical characteristics but also about their health. Although currently the market is offering these genetic tests, most of them are not complete, mainly focused on wellness or entertainment and not as a holistic health point of view. 24Genetics has developed the most complete, accurate and affordable health genetic tests (24G) direct-to consumer (DTC). Our tests will allow to identify the genetic predisposition of an individual for common diseases, carrier status for inherited illness, familial traits and efficacy and adverse reactions to common drugs. This will enables customers to gain insight into their health, take preventative action and make proactive decisions. 24Genetics is an innovative fast growing Spanish company established in 2017 specialised on genetic testing for Health, Wellness and Ancestry roots. With this project 24Genetics aims to deploy new set of health genetic tests covering more than 500 diseases, strongly impact in the clinical care. The goal is to provide more targeted and personalised medicine. Currently, we sell in more than 50 countries around the world and we set up sales offices in Spain, USA and Mexico. 24G project will help us to increase our customer base and expand our business in EU and worldwide.

The Venetian humanist Pietro Bembo (1470-1547) played a central role in the European Renaissance. His literary works are widely known and his rich epistolary attests both his contacts with all the most important figures of his time, and the variety of his interests, ranging from literature to arts. However, a missing piece precludes the possibility of grasping Pietro Bembo's multi-faceted figure in its complexity: the sound dimension in which he was immersed has never been adequately investigated so far. This project aims to complete Bembo's portrait by reconstructing the soundscape that surrounded him, and his musical interests and networks. His literary works and letters, together with a few dedications in printed musical volumes and letters written by his friends and acquaintances, offer precious material in order to understand his involvement with music. The research will also explore the reception of his poems by composers who set them to music, investigating the reasons of this choice and evaluating Bembo's role in the dissemination of his texts among musicians. All the collected data, read against previous musicological studies about the cities where Bembo lived and the musicians working there at the same time, will contribute to complete Bembo's image from a musical point of view. The main results of the research will converge in a multimedia database which, combining the images of the very places that Bembo frequented and the music he could have heard, will constitute a visual and aural reconstruction of Bembo’s experiences of five centuries ago.

Two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by water and thus largely inaccessible to modern networks of seismological instruments. The FOCUS project is poised to revolutionize seismic monitoring of the seafloor through a novel use of fiber optic cables to improve hazard assessment and increase early warning capability. Laser reflectometry using BOTDR, commonly used for structural health monitoring of large-scale engineering structures (e.g. - bridges, dams, pipelines, etc.), can measure very small strains (< 1 mm) at very large distances (10 - 200 km). It has never been used to monitor deformation caused by active faults on the seafloor. The objective of the FOCUS project is to demonstrate that this technique can measure small (1 - 2 cm) displacements on a primary test site offshore Sicily where the 28 km long EMSO Catania cable crosses the recently mapped North Alfeo Fault. BOTDR observations must be calibrated by other independent measurements. Therefore, targeted marine geophysical surveys of the seafloor along the trace of the cable and faults are planned, with micro-bathymetry, high-resolution seismics, seafloor seismic stations and use of seafloor geodetic instruments to quantify fault displacement. Once the BOTDR fault-monitoring technique has been tested and calibrated offshore Sicily, the goal is to expand it to other fiber optic cable networks, either existing research networks in earthquake hazard zones (Japan, Cascadia) or to the Mediterranean region through access to retired telecommunication cables, or through the development of dual-use cables with industry partners, (two of the anticipated outcomes of the FOCUS project). The novel secondary use of fiber optic cables as described by FOCUS represents a potentially tremendous breakthrough in seismology, tectonics and natural hazard early warning capability, one that could turn Earth’s future undersea communication infrastructure into a seismological monitoring network of unprecedented scale.

Fossil fuels have been crucial for the prosperity of human society since the industrial revolution, but have also brought about many critical issues, such as global warming. To meet the ambitious goals set out in the Paris Agreement, it is imperative to explore sustainable fuel sources. Liquid fuels produced from renewable-electricity-driven CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are promising candidates because they simultaneously allow for a carbon-neutral energy cycle and the storage of renewable yet intermittent energy. Due to its high energy density and suitable octane number, propanol is one of the most desired products from CO2RR as direct fuels and fuel additives. However, current state-of-the-art catalysts do not exhibit more than 15% selectivity for propanol, which is a huge impediment towards the practical adoption of CO2-to-propanol electrolysis. Raising the selectivity requires intricate knowledge of what catalyst descriptors drive propanol formation, in order to predict and discover ideal catalyst/system combinations, which are the objectives of this proposal. To achieve these goals, the optimum electrode-electrolyte interface will be identified based on well-defined single-crystal-electrode experiments; reaction intermediates and pathways will be identified and studied by in situ spectroscopy methods and DFT calculations; theory-guided-designed nanocatalysts will be synthesized and subsequently integrated into an optimized CO2RR electrolyser to produce propanol at industrially relevant current densities. Through successful completion of the proposed research, an efficient CO2-to-propanol electrolysis system will be developed together with an in-depth understanding of CO2RR mechanism.

Our vision of the European City Facility (EUCF) is one where European cities have their say on how the EUCF financial support will be used to meet their needs and help them overcome barriers they face in financing and implementing their ambitious energy and climate strategies. The ultimate objective of the EUCF is to build a substantial pipeline of sustainable energy investment projects across cities in Europe. This will be achieved by providing targeted financial, technical, legal and capacity building support to overcome critical barriers, develop credible investment packages and mobilise finance. Delivering this will require organisational, technical and financial innovation, in particular to bridge the capacity and capability gap for small and medium-sized municipalities. The specific objectives are to: - Provide hands-on locally rooted technical and financial expertise, inspired by ‘best in class’ European practice, to cities to deliver at least 225 credible and scalable investment concepts (hereafter referred to as IC) which should trigger more than EUR 320 M of public and private investment. - Build the capacity of at least 450 public authority staff to develop substantial project pipelines and provide them with tools, networking and knowledge transfer opportunities which will facilitate and accelerate the IC implementation, including via innovative financing mechanisms and project aggregation. - Facilitate access especially for small and medium-sized municipalities to private finance, EU funding streams and similar facilities (e.g. ESIF, H2020-PDA, Elena-EIB) and advisory services such as the EIB Advisory Hub to realise and amplify the expected investments. - Use the successful IC and knowledge of EUCF beneficiaries to reach out to more than 8,000 cities and communities, encourage replication and catalyse further action across European cities.

The current crisis has indirectly contributed to questioning the efficiency of financial markets and democratic institutions at European and national levels. Recent data from the Eurobarometer (July 2013) shows a continuous decrease in the trust levels that citizens from the European Union have on national governments and parliaments, radically decreasing in more than 25 points in the last six years (European Commission, 2013). This situation is jeopardizing the European project while at the same time a lively public debate about the meaning of European identity is taking place across Europe. Several social scientists have argued that the social and economic inequalities in the new global order are contributing to civil social reactions, based on solidarity, aiming to achieve a better society for all (Touraine, 2007; Wright, 2010). This project aims to analyzing in depth the acts of solidarity which are being developed across Europe, the extent to which they respond to dialogic and inclusive processes, the related outcomes and the policy developments. The project starts from previous findings on successful actions which are combating the crisis – by creating employment or improving access to health – through acts of solidarity. These acts are thus contributing to construct more inclusive and prosperous societies, by influencing at the macro-level (social inequalities) and micro-level (psychological wellbeing). In this regard, the research will identify common elements among these acts in order to examine their transferability to different contexts. To cover this objective, effects of these actions in five social areas will be studied in depth: housing, education, employment, engagement and health. Simultaneously, special attention will be paid on social investment policies which are supporting these initiatives.
