The objective of the project is to provide a conceptual basis, evidence, tools and improved incentive and policy options to support the "smart" provision of public goods by the EU agriculture and forestry ecosystems, in the light of trade-offs and conflicts brought about by prospective intensification scenarios, using a transdisciplinary approach. PROVIDE will consider a wide range of public goods, including the scope for intensification to produce negative externalities, in relation with a wide set of legislations. It will address the issue in a multi-scale framework working both at the EU level and at case study level in thirteen Countries of the EU. The practical results of the project will be: a renewed (“un-packed”) conceptualization of the notion of public goods; an operational framework to support the smart provision of public goods; a toolbox putting together an inventory/mapping of options, operational means for valuation and evaluation, and a selection of evaluated policy/sector mechanisms; a consolidated and long-lasting community of knowledge and practice. The project will achieve the above results through a mapping and inventory of public goods and the mechanisms producing such goods, allowing to identify ’hotspots’ for mechanisms and policy development. Around these ’hotspots’, the project will then value different public goods and explore value transferability across several regions and ecosystems. Next, to meet a smart production of public goods, consistent with the current needs of productivity, bioeconomy strategy and rural development, innovative policy tools and mechanisms will be comparatively assessed and evaluated. The outcomes of these activities will feed information into the framework and toolbox. All these processes will be co-developed with stakeholders, so that the framework and toolbox will be a co-constructed product allowing incremental development also beyond the lifetime of the project, maximizing PROVIDE’s impact.

Future smart multi-functional logic devices might combine switchable molecules and two-dimensional layered materials (2D-LMs). Spin crossover (SCO) compounds are a paradigmatic example of molecular switches including cooperative spin-transitions. One of their hallmarks is the huge concomitant strain arising upon SCO up to 13 % responding to numerous external stimuli even above room temperature. Besides, hundreds of 2D-LMs were discovered after the isolation of thin graphene layer(s) from graphite. Such a plethora of diverse atomic layers with distinct properties opened the door to design novel van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) with artificially engineered functionalities. Introducing external interactions or strain can give the ability to tune optical band gaps and electrical properties of 2DLMs-vdWHs. Still in its infancy, this strategy promises new properties and exciting physics seeking thereafter unprecedented device performance and applications. This interdisciplinary project intends at pioneering design, preparation and investigations of the electrical transport and magnetotransport properties of SCO/2D-LMs-vdWHs. Signs of the coexistence, or even synergy, of several physical properties of interest will be painstakingly researched. This quest encompasses manifestations of magnetism, conductivity, and superconductivity influenced by thermal- and light-induced SCO cooperative spin-transitions, pursuing innovative 2D nanoelectronics, energy applications and flexible sensors.

The proposal is to use our great synthetic control to examine the use of heterometallic cyclic coordination compounds (heterometallic rings, HRs) in two distinct application areas. One is of immediate impact: the use of the HRs as resist materials for lithography. This work has already been patented and is being developed as a means to fabricate devices that will be needed at the 7 nm node and smaller. The synthetic control also means we can make resists for extreme UV lithography (13 nm wavelength) which meet the tight specifications needed for industrial application. The second application is more long term, which is the proposal that such rings could be used as qubits in quantum information processing. Here we will build on recent work that has established a diamagnetic matrix in which complex polymetallic assembly could be incorporated. This gives us the opportunity of performing algorithms during the project and hence laying the ground-work for future developments.

The main objective of REP-EAT is to build up a new and innovative research and training doctoral programme (DP) in the interdisciplinary domain of food and healthy diet to deepen the impact of food quality on reproductive Health (REP) and eating disorders (EAT). In compliance with the concept of “One Health”, REP-EAT DP will focus on the effect of diet determinants on both humans and animals thus implying a strict integration amongst food and life science research advances. REP-EAT is aimed at training a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs). The DP will rely on the joint efforts of qualified tutors involved in three pre-existing doctoral courses in Biotechnology, Food Science and Veterinary Medicine of the beneficiary institution, UniTE. REP-EAT is further strengthened by the partnership (9 EU and 2 USA academic and 23 EU non-academic partners) with qualified complementary groups that have fruitfully interacted in previous successful training and research programmes of UniTE. ESRs can undertake an independent and personalized training and research career development plans to be awarded a European double PhD degree from European University partners. ESRs will be exposed to research and entrepreneurial sectors in each phase of the DP (from selection to mentoring, training, research secondment and dissemination activities) to achieve a wide set of technical and transferable skills required to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit, to build up their future career perspectives. The regional authority, Abruzzo Region, will provide cofunding support consistently with the regional Smart Specialization Strategy (RIS3) using ESIF funds, in order to foster the development of qualified human resources in Agro-food area, a leading sector of regional economy in needs of continuous innovation in order to compete in the global market.

The overall goal for the innovation project is to offer a 3D model scaling service for 3D print service bureaus and architectural offices. Architects use 3D printed scale models (e.g. 1:100) to showcase projects. Current state-of-the-art software cannot automatically convert the architects’ 3D drawings to a 3D printable scale model, because this typically creates features that are too small to print. Today it takes several weeks to manually prepare the scale model for 3D printing and it easily costs several thousand euros. Our intelligent scaling service, which selectively scales features, can speed up this process drastically. The main barrier to manufacturing 3D printed scale models is not the equipment, but rather the weeks and trouble it takes to perform the scaling. The potential demand is several hundreds of thousands of scale models per year, and even the current demand indicates a market potential of tens of millions of euros per year. The objective of the feasibility study are to adjust and elaborate our business plan by establishing test agreements with two print service bureaus and by evaluating the business potential directly through at least 15 scaling jobs. Furthermore, we will perform a freedom to operate analysis and use the test scalings to further mature the prototype.

Stretchable Transparent Microsupercapacitor from Nanodiamond Decorated Laser-Induced Graphene: Design and Demonstrator (Microsupercapacitor)

Stretchable microsupercapacitors (MSCs) can operate in multiple mechanical distortions including stretching, bending, twisting, and compression. These mechanical adaptabilities are essential for powering wearable electronics and implantable biomedical devices. Recent progress in the stretchable supercapacitor field primarily emphasizes on the electrode materials and their design concept. In the search of outstanding electrode material, we have seen consumer-grade carbon-based MSC electrodes would be benefitted from a thin layer of diamond (sp3-hybridized carbon) coating as diamond possesses wide electrochemical (EC) potential window, a low and stable background current, and exceptional stability in a wide range of corrosive media. However, most of the growth techniques like chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition support the diamond deposition on any solid hard substrate (such as Si, Mo, Ta, etc.), and also the gas phase growth temperature is too high to deposit diamond on any flexible substrate. On the other hand, recently, large scale, facile and one-step process for the production of flexible graphene-based porous nanomaterial called laser-induced graphene (LIG) has been investigated worldwide and regarded as a suitable platform to build EC energy storage devices. Therefore, we believe that in situ bonding between the flexible porous graphene networks with nanocrystalline diamond using a single-step lasing process, can provide a major breakthrough in the field of flexible wearable and portable electronic device technology. To utilize the dual advantage of both sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon, herein, we propose a simple strategy to synthesize nanostructured carbon hybrid where conductive nanodiamonds will be decorated between the flexible three-dimensional porous network of sp2 carbon (LIG). In the application scenario, the carbon hybrid then transferred to a transparent and stretchable silicone rubber substrate to obtain all-solid-state planar MSCs.

In the last 25 years, communication has become a core lever of monetary policy. This has important implications for academic research in monetary economics -- an area intrinsically linked to the policy environment. The framework change raises new questions, and we must rethink how we empirically study existing questions. We need new approaches and new data. My ground-breaking research agenda, rooted in important academic questions, comprises of 6 pioneering projects across 3 related themes that emphasise the increasingly-important role of central bank communication in policy. Theme I concerns the fundamental empirical question in monetary economics: what is the effect of monetary policy? Though an old question, two projects innovate by using tools from data science to develop new measures of monetary and information shocks from central bank communication. Three projects in Theme II examine the issue of monetary communication and expectations management. The projects will (i) test, for the first time, the Morris-Shin prediction that communication might overly-coordinate expectations formation; (ii) develop a rich, new high-frequency dataset of expectations for EU countries to enable us to better address the questions in this theme; and (iii) develop new surveys and pioneering research on the role of the communication in affecting expectations of the general public. Theme III examines the complex interaction between monetary policy and uncertainty; monetary policy both reacts to shocks to the economy, but it is also a source of policy uncertainty. We shall develop new indices of each type of uncertainty. This unique combination is central to our being able to understand the complex, but vital, relationship. The novelty of the data and the complexity of analysing communication make this research program highly ambitious. Nonetheless, the importance of developing our academic understanding make this agenda incredibly high-return.

Strengthening food and nutrition security (FNS) in the EU requires a move towards a diet that supports sustainable food consumption and production. To gauge the policy reforms needed for this major societal challenge, the SUSFANS-consortium will identify how food production and nutritional health in the EU can be aligned. The multidisciplinary research agenda of SUSFANS will build the conceptual framework, the evidence base and analytical tools for underpinning EU-wide food policies with respect to their impact on consumer diet and their implications for nutrition and public health, the environment, the competitiveness of the EU agri-food sectors, and global FNS. Based on a conceptual model of the food chain and its stakeholders, SUSFANS will develop suitable metrics and identify major drivers for sustainable FNS, integrate data and modelling, and develop foresight for European sustainable FNS. Central asset is a coherent toolbox which integrates two complementary strands of state-of-the-art quantitative analysis: (i) micro-level modelling of nutrient intakes, habitual dietary patterns and preferences of individual consumers, and (ii) macro-level modelling of food demand and supply in the context of economic, environmental and demographic changes on various time-scales and for multiple sub-regions. The tools will bridge the current gap between policy analysis on the EU agri-food sector and the nutrition-health sector. Case studies and scenarios based on stakeholder input from consumers, food industry, farmers/fishermen, government and the scientific community, are instrumental in achieving this goal. The project will provide a comprehensive set of tools for assessing sustainable FNS in Europe, centred around the implications of the current diet for the sustainability of production and consumption in the EU, and the options for the EU agri-food sector (including fisheries and aquaculture) to improve future diets in the near future (up to 5 years) and in the long run (one or more decades ahead).
