The global objective of the Spartacus project is to develop an affordable sensor solution to detect degradation and failure mechanisms, intentionally before a loss of performance. The project will focus on mechanical and acoustic sensors completed by electrochemical impedance measurement and temperature sensors. The sensoric data will be correlated to battery performance and to corresponding models. The state of different parameters (SoX) will be monitored continuously which enables the management system to cycle the battery on an age-dependent optimum level. An advanced Battery Management System (BMS) will be developed. BMS will work in proximity to the cells terminals (i.e. a cell management system, CMS) to efficiently exploit all the sensoric data without extra-wiring harness. At the end of the project, an 24V smart battery module will be assembled and the CMS enhanced by the senoric data will be validated in different ageing conditions or for misused or abused batteries at lab-scale (TRL4). Quantitatively, a reduction of 20% charging time without any negative effect on life time by exploitation of sensoric data is targeted. By usage of sensoric data, cell monitoring will be also improved and will increase the safety of batteries and avoid overheating (thermal runaway), fire or explosion. Spartacus project is based on 6 specific objectives: - OBJ1: Development of new sensors design for smart batteries - OBJ2: Integration of the sensors according to industrial constraints incl. Packaging / Assembly technology - OBJ3: Data acquisition and data pre-processing for BMS integration - OBJ4: Modelling of failure mechanisms and correlation with SoX - OBJ5: Development of an advanced BMS and standardization procedures - OBJ6: Economic and environmental assessment Spartacus consortium is a strong partnership of 5 European research centres and 1 leading industrial having extensive track-records in materials, battery, sensors, modelling, BMS and associated domains.

The BIOCLIMA project will explore the impact of climate change on microbial biodiversity in semi-enclosed basins in order to decipher ecosystem response to environmental crises, at a temporal scale much longer than that of human life. The Late Miocene Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) will serve as case study. This dramatic paleoceanographic event resulted in the establishment of harsh conditions (eutrophication, hypersalinity and anoxia) at the scale of a whole marine basin, which was lethal for most eukaryotes but allowed some extremophile prokaryotes to flourish. The BIOCLIMA project will address two main aspects: 1) Tempo and modes of climate variability recorded by MSC sediments. The project will investigate the sedimentary cyclicity recorded by Messinian deposits (carbonates, sulfates, and shales), which was related to climate oscillations at various time scales. 2) The microbial community structures and the modes of adaptation of the microorganisms that inhabited the paleo-Mediterranean at the advent of and during the MSC, allowing to identify the response of microbial life to climate-controlled environmental change. The project will be based on a multidisciplinary approach, applying cutting-edge sedimentological, geochemical, and geomicrobiological methods. The wider impacts of BIOCLIMA are: i) a contribution to our understanding of the biological adaptation to environmental crises; ii) establishing a catalogue of biosignatures in evaporites that will help to recognize and classify past life in ancient extreme environments on Earth and Mars. The Fellow will greatly benefit from the training in state-of-the-art methods of Organic Geochemistry and Geomicrobiology in Vienna, and increase his analytical skills in the Petrology and Geochemistry of evaporites during a secondment at the University of Barcelona.

The AvAUNT proposal seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in understanding of the aerodynamic interference challenges associated with the Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) nacelle with an integrated Adaptable Area Nozzle (AAN) to Technology Readiness Level 4. The move towards higher bypass ratios can lead to significant reductions in emissions and noise; up to 10% propulsive efficiency enhancement and 2dB noise reductions from UHBR ~15 and above reported. However, by lowering fan pressure ratios, fan surge problems can emerge with increasingly larger variations in flight performance between sea-level and cruise. To overcome this, the adaptive area nozzle can provide the necessary increases in surge margin at low mass flow conditions at sea-level, but at the expense of additional system weight and complexity. While many of the potential benefits of the UHBR configuration have been substantiated for isolated nacelle configurations, there is limited understanding of the installation interference effects that will be induced at these very high/ultra high ratios, or how the incorporation of the AAN may affect the nature of these interference losses. In the current project, early stage candidate concepts for a nacelle with AAN technology will be studied through complementary experimental and computational simulation to ascertain the interference effects induced and to propose a verified modelling methodology which can be used in advance design studies. This will be used to inform best practice in the design of installed UHBR nacelles with AAN technology to support a move towards an integrated technology demonstrator within the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking for late 2023.

Advancing our understanding of biologically driven sequestration of carbon is crucial given the rapidly increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Diatoms are the most common type of phytoplankton and, as the ocean’s biological carbon pump, a key component in this process. Diatom aggregates, in particular, comprise a significant fraction of sinking particulate matter drawing down atmospheric carbon to the depths of the ocean. Diatoms produce transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP), a gel-like sticky sugary substance, which plays a significant role in the subsequent coagulation of diatoms into aggregates as their blooms terminate. These sinking aggregates are composed of diatoms, detritus and faecal pellets and are so-called marine snow aggregates. We will use recent innovations in technology to study the role of TEP content for: • Scavenging of particles • Flow and diffusion within and around diatom aggregates We will draw upon the specialized expertise of the applicant and the beneficiary to study diatom aggregates in detail using methods which have greatly profited from technological advances: • Particle image velocimetry, and • digital holographic microscopy, in combination with • microsensors, to study mass transfer at a sub-mm scale. The methods will enable us for the first time to quantify directly any flow inside the aggregates, also called the interstitial fluid flow, and to visualize the aggregate’s structure and particle composition. Targeting these processes with advanced instrumentation will bring European research on aggregates to the forefront in terms of the technology, but more importantly, our understanding of carbon cycling in the ocean and our position on future climate change impacts.

The landscape of post-Soviet Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrygzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan) is littered with the physical remnants of Soviet development, both positive –health clinics and schools – and negative - decaying factories, polluted soil, and dried out rivers. Less visible are Soviet development’s political, intellectual, and institutional legacies. Yet just as post-socialist states and international development organizations have been forced to deal with the physical legacies of socialism, their approaches to economic development, welfare provision, and governance has been shaped by the socialist past. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the newly independent states of Central Asia invited international institutions and foreign donors to help them achieve prosperity and transition to a market economy. At the time, most development institutions and national governments subscribed to the so-called “Washington Consensus” which emphasized financial discipline, minimum state regulation, and open borders. This project proposes to study the influence of Central Asian economists, activists, specialists, and government officials who straddled the Soviet/post-Soviet divide by going to work in national and international development institutions after independence. By studying these individuals and the legacies of their work will allow us to investigate how ideas and practices of economic development and welfare provision were shaped and reshaped at the local and international level. The project will uncover how international development transformed post-Soviet Central Asia, and how the encounter with post-socialist states transformed paradigms and practices of international development. The research will thus make an innovative scholarly contribution to understanding the legacy of socialism, the history of economic development, and the the global history of development.

INTENSE promotes the collaboration among European, US and Japanese researchers involved in the most important particle physics research projects at the high intensity frontier. The observation of neutrino oscillations established a picture consistent with the mixing of three neutrino flavors with three mass eigenstates and small mass differences. Experimental anomalies point to the presence of sterile neutrino states participating in the mixing and not coupling to fermions. Lepton mixings and massive neutrinos offer a gateway to deviations from the Standard Model in the lepton sector including Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV). The FNAL Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program based on three almost identical liquid argon Time Projection Chambers located along the Booster Neutrino Beam offers a compelling opportunity to resolve the anomalies and perform the most sensitive search for sterile neutrinos at the eV mass scale through appearance and disappearance oscillation searches. MicroBooNE, SBND and Icarus will search for the oscillation signal by comparing the neutrino event spectra measured at different distances from the source. The FNAL SBN program is a major step towards the global effort of the neutrino physics community in realising the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Mu2e at the FNAL Muon Campus will improve the sensitivity on the search for the CLFV neutrinoless, coherent conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus by four orders of magnitude. INTENSE researchers have provided major contributions to the SBN and Mu2e projects and will take leading roles in the commissioning of the detectors, data taking and analysis. These endeavors foster the development of cutting-edge technologies with many spin-offs outside particle physics. INTENSE promotes multidisciplinary collaboration through “muography” which uses cosmic-ray muons to image the interior of large targets, including volcanoes, glaciers and archaeological sites.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), is the ability of microorganisms to resist to antibiotics treatment, contributes to 700,000 deaths a year (25,000 deaths in Europe). Besides, The financial implications of AMR proliferation are devastating for the global healthcare system. The current implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs in hospitals has not been enough to mitigate the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. Current AST (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) diagnostic methods are highly accurate but take too long (a few days) forcing doctors in many case to prescribe non-personalised treatments. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics, due to the lack of efficient solutions to detect bacterial resistance at an early stage, allows the emergence of “superbugs” and the spread of the resistant bacteria in the environment resulting in more infected patients and increasing the major global threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Nanosynex product provides a revolutionary, low-cost, ultra-fast AST (Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) technology that delivers results in an average of only 4 hours in average, and as little as 2 hours for certain bacteria type. Nanosynex will allow physicians to get same-day AST results and to prescribe personalised and effective antibiotic treatment, with a unique test that will save at least one day of hospitalization per patient, as well as avoid pandemics outbreaks such as the current case of COVID-19. Consequently, Nanosynex will contribute to reduce the spread of resistant bacteria and significantly reduce the large economic burden associated with antimicrobial resistance. This EIC project aims the industrialization and scalability of Nanosynex benchtop and cards, performing the clinical trials to get the CE mark for its commercialisation across the EU. Nanosynex expects to reach a positive cash flow generation by the end of 2026 in the targeted scenario, with sales of +€27.5M.

The answer to the current Raw Material supply challenge faced today in Europe, lies in technological innovations that increase the efficiency of resource utilization and allow the exploitation of yet untapped resources such as industrial waste streams and metallurgical by-products. One of the key industrial residues which is currently not or poorly valorised is Bauxite Residue (BR, more commonly known as “red mud”) from alumina refineries. Bauxite residue reuse solutions do exist as stand-alone but pooling them together in an integrated manner is the only way to render bauxite residue reuse viable from an economical point of view and acceptable for the industry The RemovAl project will combine, optimize and scale-up developed processing technologies for extracting base and critical metals from such industrial residues and valorising the remaining processing residues in the construction sector. In term of technological aspects, RemovAl will process several by-products from the aluminium sector and from other metallurgical sectors in Europe (SiO2 by-products, SPL, fly ash,and others). The different waste streams will be combined to allow for optimal and viable processing in different technological pilot nodes. The technologies and pilots in most cases have already been developed in previous or ongoing projects and through RemovAl they will be pooled together and utilized in a European industrial symbiosis network. In term of societal or non-technological aspects, RemovAl will gather key sectors like the non-ferrous metal and cement sectors in order to secure a true industrial symbiosis through a top-down approach considering also legislation and standardisation at European level in order to facilitate the implementation of the most promising technical solutions.

One of the most famous open problems in mathematics is the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture, which predicts that the size of the set of rational points on an elliptic curve is determined by the order of vanishing at s = 1 of its Hasse–Weil L-function. Building a crucial breakthrough due to Kolyvagin in the 1990's—the discovery of the first example of an "Euler system"—the BSD conjecture has now been proved for a wide class of elliptic curves over the rationals: those where the order of vanishing of the L-function (the "analytic rank") is 0 or 1, which conjecturally accounts for 100% of elliptic curves. However, the case of elliptic curves over the rationals is only the tip of an iceberg. Versions of the BSD conjecture are also expected to hold for elliptic curves over number fields, and more generally for abelian varieties of any dimension (with elliptic curves being the case of dimension 1). Even more generally, the Bloch–Kato conjecture predicts that for any L-function arising from geometry, its order of vanishing at any integer point encodes geometric information. However, these conjectures are far beyond the reach of Kolyvagin's Euler system. The aim of my proposal is to prove new cases of the BSD conjecture and the Bloch–Kato conjecture, using new Euler systems arising from the geometry of unitary and symplectic Shimura varieties. In particular, I will prove the rank 0 case of the BSD conjecture for abelian surfaces over the rationals, elliptic curves over imaginary quadratic fields, and abelian three-folds with complex multiplication, assuming appropriate modularity results hold for these objects (which are known in many cases).
