The enormous amount of diversity that surrounds us raises one of the key questions in evolutionary biology: How do new species originate? Speciation depends on the evolution of reproductive isolation but, with few exceptions, the genes underlying reproductive isolation and their modes of action are unknown. The novelty of this project lies in testing if, in addition to mutations in genes, epigenetics and gene expression are mechanisms that contribute to the process of speciation. For these aims I will use wood ants and their hybrids combining large-scale data sets on genomes, gene expression and genome-wide methylation. These approaches will be complemented with protein modeling of candidate genes resulting in a multidisciplinary project. Further aims are to develop an outreach programme on evolution for high schools and in collaboration with the Finnish Environment Institute to investigate the role of hybrids in forest ecosystems. Together these objectives yield a project that has high scientific standing and societal importance.

Derived categories of coherent sheaves on a variety are a fundamental tool in algebraic geometry. They also arise in String Theory, as the category of B-branes in a quantum field theory whose target space is the variety. This connection to physics has been extraordinarily fruitful, providing deep insights and conjectures. An Artin stack is a sophisticated generalization of a variety, they encode the idea of equivariant geometry. A simple example is a vector space carrying a linear action of a Lie group. In String Theory this data defines a Gauged Linear Sigma Model, which is a basic tool in the subject. A GLSM should also give rise to a category of B-branes, but surprisingly it is not yet understood what this should be. An overarching goal of this project is to develop an understanding of this category (more accurately, system of categories), and to extend this understanding to more general Artin stacks. The basic importance of this question is that in certain limits a GLSM reduces to a sigma model, whose target is a quotient of the vector space by the group. This quotient must be taken using Geometric Invariant Theory. Thus this project is intimately connected with the question of how derived categories change under variation-of-GIT, and birational maps in general. For GLSMs with abelian groups this approach has already produced spectacular results, in the non-abelian case we understand only a few remarkable examples. We will develop these examples into a wide-ranging general theory. Our key objectives are to: - Provide powerful new tools for controlling the behaviour of derived categories under birational maps. - Understand the category of B-branes on a large class of Artin stacks. - Prove and apply a striking new duality between GLSMs. - Construct completely new symmetries of derived categories.

We are experiencing unprecedented environmental and societal changes at a global scale that affect all living beings on earth at a local scale. The epoch of humanity's impact on the biosphere with its irreversible degradation of ecosystems, devistating pandemics, economic and governance failures, unequal development, social and environmental injustice and discrimination, has a name - the Anthropocene. It is synonymous with destruction, inequality and increased vulnerability driven and accelerated by many factors but primarily by the enduring impacts of colonisation, the industrial revolution and the spread of capitalism. A ‘restorative’ Anthropocene instead sees human activity give back more than it takes. Such activity can be seen in place-based land practices that regenerate land and ecosystems. However, many of those practices are marginalised or silenced as they emerge from diverse worldviews and narratives that are perceived as incompatible with contemporary scientific natural resource management approaches. This study aims to compare marginalised land practices, their associated narratives, and regenerative potential for land and biodiversity across the local-global dimension, by investigating three cases from the Celtic parts of the UK, Bhutan and Australia using a place-based approach within the framing of a ‘restorative’ Anthropocene. The practices to be compared include fire management techniques of Australian indigenous communities known as ‘cultural-burning’ of the landscape, the Bhutanese cultural practice of Reedum [closing of mountains] and the transition from degraded landscapes to 'rewilding' woodlands in the Celtic parts of the UK. The findings from this research will suggest pathways for how we can apply knowledge from culturally, geographically, ontologically and epistemologically diverse regenerative land practices to inform current policy, practice and research agendas across the local-global dimension towards a 'restorative' Anthropocene.

The interplay of symmetry and topology can give rise to fascinating new forms of matter. Prime examples are topological insulators and topological superconductors with Majorana fermions, discoveries which resulted from a breakthrough extension of noninteracting band theory to include symmetry and topology. This proposal aims to go beyond this noninteracting paradigm and explore systems where strong interactions, symmetry, and topology conspire to give rise to new strongly correlated phases of matter. The broad scientific goals are to theoretically obtain (i) tangible microscopic models and (ii) predictions on the clearest experimental signatures of these novel symmetry protected topological phases (SPTs). The project will consider both fermionic and bosonic systems, where in the latter case even the most direct analogues of topological insulators require strong interactions, as mere band theory is inapplicable due to the absence of Pauli exclusion. We will examine systems with various interactions and symmetries (e.g., time-reversal, particle number conservation, spin-rotation, inversion and other crystalline symmetries), aiming to deliver results with ramifications in all three dimensionalities. Characteristic aspects of our approach include, for microscopics, the emphasis on well controlled analytical methods to expose physically transparent links to phenomenology; and, for experimental signatures, exploring and utilising novel strong correlations emerging in hybrids formed of SPTs and their probes, which would be absent in either of the probed systems or the probes alone. Accomplishing our research objectives will fill a major scientific gap by bridging the findings of recent abstract mathematical classifications of possible SPTs, and the tremendous experimental progress both in the solid-state and with ultracold atoms on topological systems that may already provide the fundamental building blocks for physical realisations.

In eukaryotes, SUMO (Small Ubiquitin Modifier) conjugation to proteins is an essential process that regulates many aspects of cell biology. Defects in SUMO conjugation have been associated to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and others, raising a great interest in developing novel drugs for inhibiting SUMO conjugation. Specifically, recent reports have pointed to a high dependency on an active SUMO conjugation by Myc-overexpressing cancers. Consequently, SUMO conjugation has become a non-oncogene addiction target of special relevance since the oncogenic Myc is nondruggable. Based on the results obtained by our group, we have developed a novel assay for identifying efficient SUMO conjugation inhibitors, which could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic drugs. The main outcome that we expect to obtain from this project is the identification of a SUMOylation inhibitor that will be patent protected. Initial steps towards the valorization of the identified product will be taken, and available commercialization opportunities will be carefully analyzed for entering into the next steps of drug development, including preclinical and clinical studies. The fact that SUMOylation may be a key element in almost 70% of cancer types due to its involvement in the Myc pathway makes the search for hit drug candidates an enterprise worth taking, which could benefit millions of people worldwide.

This project aims to commercialise Self-Enforcing E-Voting (SEEV), a new paradigm of verifiable e-voting technologies without involving any trusted tallying authorities (invented under the ERC starting grant No. 106591), for classroom voting and related applications. A prototype of a Verifiable Classroom Voting (VCV) system, based on the SEEV technology, has been developed by the PI's team at Newcastle University, and in the past two years has been successfully trialled in real classroom teaching within the campus with very positive student feedbacks. With the funding support from this Proof of Concept project, we plan to extend this VCV prototype to make it commercially available to all universities and schools, with basic user accounts provided for free, while premium user accounts will be available for a fee but bundled with dedicated support and more computing resources. Additional revenues include advertisements and professional services (which provide customized VCV to companies, organizations and governments for various voting applications). The received revenues will be used to maintain/upgrade the system, sustain the growth in users and cover the cost of creating and protecting the IPR on SEEV (several potentially patentable developments on SEEV are being made in the ERC project). Although the focus of this proposal is on classroom voting and similar small-scale elections, the underlying SEEV technology is also applicable to large-scale elections. It has the promising potential to address many security defects in today's (unverifiable) e-voting products that have been widely used many democratic countries (e.g., USA, Brazil and India). The IPR created during the course of this project will serve our long-term goal of commercialising SEEV for large-scale national elections and enhancing worldwide democracy in a digital age.

GLOBALINTO will provide new measures of intangible assets at the firm level, filling an important gap in measurement which has restricted statistical production, micro-based analysis and evidence-based policymaking. GLOBALINTO will analyse the various potential explanations of the productivity puzzle, both at micro and macro levels. Our work will bring further the earlier work by the EU FP7 Innodrive project to create refined and validated intangible capital data and indicators that can be implemented in official statistics production. Importantly, this also includes the development of measures of public sector intangibles and their impact on innovation and productivity. The analyses in GLOBALINTO are novel, focusing not only on firm behaviour at the micro level but by also being able to observe the common growth characteristics in industries and the role of intangibles for changes in market structure. Broader measurement of intangibles (in particular non-R&D) at the firm level helps to identify new sources of growth to reverse the trend of lower intangible capital deepening after financial crises in 2008. Knowledge on human and intangible capital at the firm-level also helps to promote new intangible capital formation under the ageing population. Such a micro data approach is by definition necessary also in the effort to understand the role of small firms as engines of growth and hindrances for market entry. The analysis also aims to show the global structure and fragmentation of value chains, and their role in innovation, knowledge diffusion and the exploitation of new knowledge. On the basis of empirical results and theoretical advances, GLOBALINTO will also explore and further the role of policy for the mobilisation of intangibles. The ambition of GLOBALINTO is not only to assess productivity potential but to decompose its explanatory factors in a way that offer tools for policies to foster innovation and future growth.

Cherry Biotech is an innovative French company which develops and commercializes microfluidic instruments for life sciences and healthcare. We position ourselves on a biological research market in which we are developing a range of tools dedicated to high resolution imaging. Other cellular environment control systems are also in test or development to support business growth. This technical base and the transversal skills held by the team has ideally positioned Cherry Biotech to carry out ambitious projects in the growing market of the Organs on a chip. The design, development and implementation of microfluidic devices called "Organ-on-a-Chip" require the understanding and the integration of numerous components (technical, biological issues and constraints ...). The candidate will take over from its genesis to the development of proof of concept the development of a microfluidic instrumentation platform to test therapeutic molecules on artificial organs (Brain) integrated within microfluidic chips. His challenge will be to integrate a complex technical environment (instrumentation, sensors, microfluidics) with important biological constraints.
