Differences in how individuals interpret the same information have proven to play an important role in societal decision making. Yet, most economic models assume individuals not only interpret information correctly but fundamentally agree on how information should be interpreted. In ModelMisspec, I will develop a unified framework that links two approaches to modeling information processing biases. I plan to (i) develop a unified framework to model information processing biases, (ii) develop tools, both theoretical and empirical, that can be applied to the analysis of problems this framework, and (iii) bring this framework to bear on applied models to study to the role of biases in price dynamics, learning, reputation and other applications. The proposed project has theoretical, empirical and applied components. In the theory part, I will develop a unified framework that bridges two common approaches to modeling biases. This approach provides a transparent and general framework for modeling information processing biases. I'll then use this framework to explore the implications of information processing biases for decision making. In the second part, I study misspecification empirically. In the first empirical component, I will experimentally elicit a key part of this framework, the forecast. This object is an key piece of decision making, that has gone unstudied. I also will study misspecification in the field, through a survey of Finnish drivers' beliefs about the penalty schedule for speeding. This section will focus on both developing tools for studying misspecification empirically, and its implications for decision making. Finally, I plan to explore the economic applications of this framework, including timing games, social learning, reputation, markets, etc.

DeliSoil will adopt a multi-actor, transdisciplinary approach to co-design processes that minimise food processing waste and valorise its by-products. We will apply a circular bioeconomy approach to the waste hierarchy, creating sustainable soil improvers in support of soil health in Europe. DeliSoil’s 5 regional Living Labs (LLs), with actors along the entire food value chain, will use innovative technologies to convert residues from food processing and production industries into tailored soil improvers. Research partners and companies will evaluate the soil improvers in state-of-the-art laboratories, and landowners will test the project’s solutions. The tailored soil improvers will be tested for stability, biosafety and molecular parameters, and their impacts on soil health, agronomical performance, and environmental risks will be evaluated. Environmental footprints will also be measured for selected products. We will identify technological, legislative, financial, and social barriers and enablers for the conversion of food processing residue streams into organic soil improvers and fertilising products, and use these results to analyse fairness throughout the LL value chains. Together with stakeholders, we will build communities and create networks to facilitate knowledge sharing of DeliSoil’s key exploitable results, empower interdisciplinary design processes to improve soil health through the valorisation of food by-products, and increase societal soil literacy. The Living Labs will share their solutions for using side-streams from vegetable, meat, insect cultivation, mixed food, tomato, olive oil, and wine industry actors. Our proposed Lighthouses will allow inter-European partnering and demonstrate improved waste management sites integrating optimal practices in a circular bioeconomy framework. We will work in close cooperation with other EU projects and the European Soil Observatory (EUSO) to ensure coordinated delivery of Soil Mission goals.

The existence of endogenous electric fields in tissues is a fundamental feature for successful morphogenesis and repair processes, conserved across species. In a regeneration setting, wound electric currents can last hours to days, even after the wound is closed. Altering such currents by perturbing its underlying ion flows has been shown to affect organ growth via an increase in proliferative rates. Therefore, electric field directly takes part in regeneration. However, the relationship between ion flows, membrane potential, and cell proliferation for driving the regeneration response is not well understood. This project aims to uncover the dynamic electrical environmental changes that cells are exposed to upon organ damage, and how these can be coupled with biochemical signalling towards starting proliferation. By using the regenerating zebrafish larval fin as an experimental model, I will establish quantitative and interdisciplinary approaches that bridges injury sensing and regeneration dynamics across length and time scales. By establishing fast in vivo imaging and electrophysiology assays, I will measure the electrical signals in the fin tissue upon injury, providing an in-depth kinetic analysis of the electric spatiotemporal changes occurring within seconds of injury. In parallel, I will establish an analytic electrohydraulics model that connects cell-based ionic flows to tissue-scale electric field and currents, being continuously interwoven with experimental data and the idea of flexoelectricity. Then, I will generate and engineer optogenetic tools to spatiotemporally perturb ionic flows and electrochemical coupling strengths, directly testing the hypothesis of ion flow-derived electric currents as voltage-gated triggers for cell proliferation. This combined strategy will provide a first-of-the-kind quantitative and mechanistic study in the emerging field of bioelectricity.

Phytopathogenic bacteria are of substantial economic importance, threatening the quantity and quality of food production. Reducing crop losses from disease epidemics caused by bacterial pathogens is critical for the supply of agricultural produce. On the other hand, colonisation of plants with beneficial bacteria can stimulate plant growth by increasing the nutrient uptake by roots or prime plants for enhanced defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, which can help to improve (or bring new approaches to) efforts to reach sustainable agriculture. Cell-to-cell communication, which is ubiquitous in all biological systems, plays a critical role in plant-bacteria interaction. Recently it has been considered that one of the significant ways to achieve cell-to-cell communication is through extracellular vesicles (EVs). These cytosol-containing membrane spheres provide selection, storage, and protection against degradation of enclosed cargoes in a highly dynamic and environmental cue-responsive manner. EVs also offer the opportunity for directed cargo delivery to dedicated recipient cells and serve as a quick adaptation strategy to react to a changing environment [1]. This project proposal aims to shed light on the vesiculation process of phytobacteria and the role of EVs in plant-bacteria interactions. The missing detailed understanding of vesiculation and EVs' properties is a critical gap in our complete knowledge of cell-to-cell communication, especially in plant-bacteria interactions. At its completion, this project will lead to new insights into the crucial tool, cell-to-cell communication, contributing to the virulence of pathogenic phytobacteria and the mechanism for how bacterial symbionts promote plant growth and fitness.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the most versatile all-purpose energy storage solution. However, LIB performance is strongly affected by temperature. In particular, at sub-zero temperatures, LIB performance is dramatically reduced. This is detrimental for LIB deployment in cold climates found in Northern Europe or high-altitude mountainous regions and hinders their widespread use in airplanes, high-altitude aerial vehicles and military and aerospace applications. The PLuTO project aims to develop a new viable approach to improve LIB performance at low temperatures. To this end, the PLuTO project will forge a photo-induced heating route for low temperature operation of liquid electrolyte batteries by incorporating in-situ synthesized noble metal nanoparticles suspended in the electrolyte, harnessing the nanoparticles capability to efficiently and quickly heat up when illuminated by light. Moreover, with a proper distribution of nanoparticles, uniform heating will guarantee a safe operation of the cell. The PLuTO project aims at achieving a first-time demonstration of photo-induced heating in a liquid electrolyte battery by using a transparent electrochemical cell with a LiFePO4 cathode (chosen due to its recognized stability at extreme temperatures). A balanced approach between computational modelling, chemical synthesis, fabrication and characterization will be implemented to investigate the influence of photo-induced heating in the electrochemical processes of the LIB cell and identify design rules for a suitable practical implementation in industrial/commercial applications. Finally, the research proposed within PLuTO is strategically positioned at the intersection between the optical-thermal-electrochemical fields and provides an excellent opportunity for the researcher to come out as a leading figure at the forefront of battery research, contributing to European competitiveness in the battery field.

ESOHISTO-HopOn aims to strongly complement the project ESOHISTO into transforming gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy and cancer diagnostics by integrating a new partner BioSense Innovations. ESOHISTO develops the first tri-modal endoscope to offer unprecedented contrast, precision and three-dimensional mapping activity of the gastrointestinal track based on optoacoustic, optical coherence tomography and confocal microscopy scans. BioSense complements this advance by developing a methodology that will enable the combination of the readings of the 3 imaging modes into one single output with clinical impact, a necessary task that was not included in ESOHISTO. Moreover, BioSense will address critical gaps in dissemination and communication, by organizing targeted industrial exhibits and a stakeholder workshop and advances the design and features of the scope developed by carrying out regulatory compliance, usability validation, manufacturability, data analytics, and an exploitation strategy based on stakeholder feedback. Its tasks include structured interviews with clinicians, patients, and stakeholders to guide endoscope design; simulation-based analyses for optimal operating mode combinations; manufacturability and cost-reduction studies; intellectual property and commercialization planning; and enhanced dissemination through workshops, conference exhibits, and stakeholder engagement. The project directly supports the Horizon Europe Widening agenda by strengthening Greece’s R&I capacity, training scientists in medtech regulation and commercialization, upgrading digital infrastructure, and expanding stakeholder networks. By combining advanced imaging technology with regulatory readiness, market analysis, and broad end-user engagement, ESOHISTO-HopOn accelerates clinical adoption and paves the way for early cancer detection, improved patient outcomes, and sustainable European medtech innovation leadership.

In the field of molecular magnetism, research is centered on developing molecule-based systems capable of storing magnetic information at much higher densities than current technologies allow. Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are particularly promising due to their unique properties like large spin in its ground state, strong magnetic anisotropy and the slow relaxation of magnetization that can be tailored for targeted applications. Precise deposition of SMMs on surfaces allow for controlled interactions and the potential to manipulate individual molecules, unlocking their potential for nanotechnological applications. However, this area remains underexplored. SPIDYM will generate for the first time fundamental insights on the properties, magnetic anisotropy, spin dynamics and molecule-surface interactions for carefully selected cobalt-based SMMs deposited on relevant surfaces. This understanding is essential for the development of nanotechnological devices based on SMMs. These goals will be pursued by multidisciplinary advanced measurements approach, synergizing synchrotron based surface sensitive X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism(XMCD), lab-based electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR), infrared spectroscopy(FIR) and magnetic characterization combined with theoretical modeling to exploit electronic and magnetic properties of surface-adsorbed SMMs for potential applications in nanoscale data storage and spintronic devices. SPIDYM exploits the synergy between the applicant's extensive expertise in synchrotron-based x-ray methods and the host's expertise with lab-based spectroscopic techniques, EPR. Therefore, the action provides a unique opportunity for the applicant to strongly expand her skills, and for the host to become acquainted with surface sensitive techniques. The action will equip the applicant with the wide expertise required to start her independent scientific career and to successfully apply for substantial funding.

Europe is facing unprecedented challenges, such as the health, migration, economic, climate, energy, and political crises, leading to a sharp increase in emergency public spending and relaxation of due diligence checks. This has resulted in a rise in corruption and fraudulent activities, which have significant negative impacts on the European economy, society, environment, and democracy. Despite emerging technology’s potential to become a powerful tool in the fight against corruption and fraud, the public sector has been slow to adopt digitalization, resulting in data NOT being shared, harmonized, or properly analysed, making evidence-based decision-making almost impossible. Governments are slowly adopting new approaches to ensure a more data-driven, transparent, and accountable public governance, but several fundamental data-related issues remain unresolved. With a team of 9 excellent research institutions and universities, 12 technology, business, and standards, developing companies, 7 public end users, and 3 domain-relevant, industry-exposed NGOs, CEDAR will: (1) Identify, collect, fuse, harmonise, and protect complex data sources to generate and share 10+ high-quality, high-value datasets relevant for a more transparent and accountable public governance in Europe. (2) Develop interoperable and secure connectors and APIs to utilise and enrich 6+ Common European Data Spaces. (3) Develop innovative and scalable technologies for effective big data management and Machine Learning (ML) operations. (4) Deliver robust big data analytics and ML to facilitate human-centric and evidence-based decision-making in public administration. (4) Validate the new datasets and technologies (TRL5) in the context of fighting corruption, thus aligning with the EU strategic priorities: digitalisation, economy, democracy. (5) Actively promote results across Europe to ensure their adoption and longevity, and to generate positive, direct, tangible, and immediate impacts.

The pursuit of scalable quantum computing requires groundbreaking solutions to overcome noise, high error rates, and the limited qubit counts of existing architectures. The 0-π (zero-pi) qubit, with its intrinsic protection against environmental noise, offers a transformative path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, demonstrating superior coherence times compared to conventional superconducting qubits like the transmon. Despite recent advancements, a fully protected version—the hard 0-π qubit—remains unrealized, and the integration of these qubits into scalable, distributed architectures presents a critical, unresolved challenge. This proposal seeks to experimentally demonstrate the hard 0-π qubit and develop a modular, multi-chip quantum processing unit (QPU) architecture. We will investigate and mitigate the decoherence mechanisms, optimize the qubit’s design for enhanced coherence, and implement a high-fidelity interconnect system to seamlessly link qubits across chips. Utilizing advanced 3D integration and flip-chip technology, our scalable architecture will be engineered to support large quantum systems with unparalleled noise resilience and coherence stability. By combining a novel qubit design with state-of-the-art packaging technology, this project aims to lay the foundation for the first scalable, noise-resilient quantum computing platform powered by 0-π qubits. This breakthrough has the potential to unlock new frontiers in fault-tolerant quantum systems, enabling impactful applications across fields such as quantum chemistry, secure communication, and optimization problems. Ultimately, the project aspires to position Europe at the forefront of global quantum technology development.
