Natural law and confessional cultures of slavery in Tranquebar, 1706-1800. To what extent were colonial experiences with slavery, specifically the experiences of a Christian mission community, articulated with reference to the European natural law tradition? In addressing this question, the project examines the discourses as well as the practices regarding colonial slavery and the slave trade in the Danish-English-Halle mission in Tranquebar in south-east India, from its beginning in 1706 until 1800. Throughout the period, German missionaries as well as Tamil and European individuals who came into contact with the mission community, or were members, dealt with issues of slavery and the slave trade in Danish Tranquebar. The challenge of the project lies in studying these instances and examining the references to the theory of natural law that come up in the source material, including norms protagonists claimed to be self-evident in their view. Consideration of these two aspects, i.e. the practices of slavery and their theorisation, depends on a rigorous analysis of the agency of the German missionaries, the Tamil population and the members of the Danish colonial trading company in Tranquebar. The former aspect generally pertains to the field of cultural history, the latter to legal and intellectual history. By combining both approaches, the key insight to be gained by the project lies in revealing how colonial cultural practice – specifically, confessional cultures - took up the European intellectual debate on natural law. The impact lies in a deeper understanding of the cultural entrenchment of societal values by highlighting reflections on practices of slavery in the Tranquebar colony and its Danish-English-Halle mission.

Residential energy consumption represents the 28% of all EU consumption and if commercial buildings are also considered this percentage increases to 40% (36% of EU CO2 emissions). In this context, is clear that the reduction of consumption in the residential sector should play an important role in energy efficiency programmes and policies as is stated in the recent Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU. Most energy efficiency measures implemented in Europe involved technological interventions. In contrast, everyday energy-consuming behaviours are largely habitual and therefore the potential of energy savings at home with actions focused in consumer behaviour is really promising. In this context the provision of feedback to consumers has resulted in really promising results, achieving savings in the range of 5-20%. But some limitations exists. The aim of this project is to fill the gaps and advanced in this context, being an essential preparatory activity for the future large scale demonstration of feedback methodologies. The key aim of this project is to develop an advanced and integral user-centred framework for the implementation of efficient energy feedback programmes in the domestic area. Our approach relies in the complete characterisation of the EU energy consumer, and the design of specific personalised actions tailored to each consumer pattern detected based on the use of natural language and emotional contents. NATCONSUMERS will set the scenario to allow strengthening the dialogue between the EU energy system stakeholders in order to define robustness methodologies exploiting to the maximum the potential of energy feedback approaches, filling the existing gaps not still covered by previous pilots and experiments. NATCONSUMERS consortium brings together representatives of all stakeholders and areas involved in the project. A concise dissemination and awareness programme is proposed to reach the target communities and increase the impact of the project.

Being one of the great scientific triumphs of the 20th century, the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is a key ingredient to our current world view. Despite its success, it, however, fails to solve a long-standing puzzle in cosmology that is crucial to our very own existence: Why does the Universe consist only of matter and not antimatter? This observation calls for baryogenesis: a physical process shortly after the Big Bang that creates an imbalance between matter and antimatter. In AxiBAU, I will shed new light on this problem, i.e., the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU), and investigate a novel class of cosmological scenarios that relate baryogenesis to the physics of axions: a hypothetical type of particles that appear in many SM extensions. Recently, axions have received a great deal of attention, as their dynamics in the early Universe entail an extremely rich phenomenology. At present, the promising predictions of such cosmological axion models are, however, unreliable, as they ought to be constrained by the observed baryon asymmetry. This is where AxiBAU enters the game: In AxiBAU, I will establish the idea of axion-driven baryogenesis (ADB) as a main alternative to conventional scenarios of baryogenesis. To this end, I will: (1) Study the interplay of all baryogenesis mechanisms in the presence of axions. (2) Develop the numerical tools necessary to achieve a quantitatively reliable prediction of the final BAU. (3) Explore the constraints on other observables such as gravitational waves, primordial black holes, etc. (4) Embed ADB into a bigger picture, connecting it to ideas such as the relaxion, Higgs inflation, etc. I will implement AxiBAU at CERN under the supervision of the Head of the Theoretical Physics Department, Dr. Gian Giudice. I will collaborate with Dr. Gian Giudice as well as with other fellows and visitors at CERN, make use of CERN's unique conditions for research and training, and benefit from CERN's excellent infrastructure.

During the Slovak EU Presidency, the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic proposes to organize an international conference on Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) titled "The Social Sciences and Humanities: A New Agenda for Europe's Challenges" that will be held in Bratislava on November 15-16 2016. The conference will follow the Tatra Summit, which will focus on the impact of social sciences and humanities on policies. An international Scientific Board will be established that will include distinguished European scientists from different fields of social sciences and humanities. The Scientific Board will work mainly on the draft programme of the conference and ensure the range and quality of speakers. It will also propose the conference outcomes. The goal of the conference is to illustrate that research in SSH is crucial in addressing societal challenges faced by Europe and it brings a significant contribution to the solution of problems in contemporary democratic societies. SSH are critical in solving acute crises such as migration - with its consequences on national policies; human rights and freedom of circulation; radicalisation and terrorism, which sparks debates on religious diversity and security inside and outside Europe; and unemployment which fuels social exclusion and inequality in some of its Member States. Such challenges cannot be solved by mere technological solutions and such technological solutions are anyway socially grounded. The conference will bring together about 300 scholars from SSH and other disciplines, business companies, industry, policy makers and media. They will discuss not only existing, but also new research ideas for the Work Programme 2018-2020 and contribute to a better visibility, integration and implementation of SSH into science and research policies.

The three-year REACH project will establish a Social Platform as a sustainable space for meeting, discussion and collaboration by a wide-ranging network of development bodies, tourism, education, creative industries, cultural heritage professionals, academic experts, arts practitioners, professionals in archives and galleries, associations and interest groups representative of non-professionals and local societies, and policy-makers – all those with a stake in research in the field of culture and CH. The REACH Social Platform’s activities will have a twofold scope: - Support: to map and provide analysis of research results achieved in previous programmes, to identify current and emerging research trends, and to offer authoritative new knowledge of the CH field to the European Commission and policy makers; - Coordination: to offer benefits to its participants, expanding knowledge of complementary research domains, and of new participatory research methodologies, generating opportunities for cooperation, offering pathways to wider user engagement with research outputs. In the context of radical social changes taking place at global levels, Europe faces a serious challenge: the need for its citizens to live together in peace and mutual respect and to value and enjoy the diversity of cultures, which they bring to their respective societies. The REACH project is based on the proposition that CH plays an important role in contributing to social integration in Europe, and that a fuller and more detailed picture of the range, type and impact of research and participatory research methodologies, current and future, associated with these subjects will further enhance their potential for social good.

AERIALIST aims at the disclosure of the potential of metamaterials to envisage innovative devices for the mitigation of the civil aviation noise. Goal of AERIALIST is to contribute to the identification of breakthrough technologies to achieve the noise reduction targets foreseen by the ACARE Flightpath 2050. AERIALIST fully complies with the envisaged SRIA, aiming at the development of efficient methods for the modelling of metamaterials tailored to aeroacoustic applications and at the conceptual design of innovative devices for aircraft noise mitigation. The focus will be on the reduction of the noise propagating outside turbofan nacelles, exploiting the unconventional properties of acoustic metamaterials to modify noise scattering patterns. Scattering cancellation, hyper-focusing, and noise trapping techniques will be investigated to achieve virtual scarfing of intakes, suitable treatment of outflow ducts and enhancement of shielding effects. As a key enabling factor, efficient and reliable theoretical models and numerical tools will be developed and validated during AERIALIST. Despite the tremendous growth experienced by the research on metamaterials during the last decade, this aspect still deserves a thorough investigation. The AERIALIST activity will lie almost entirely in the TRL range 1-2, with the possible evolution up to level 3 (experimental proof of concepts) of the most promising ideas. In summary, AERIALIST will: i) extend the acoustic metamaterial theory to take into account the effect of realistic aerodynamic flows; ii) develop suitable numerical methods to simulate the behaviour of acoustic metamaterials in aeronautic operating conditions; iii) realize the experimental validation of the most promising concepts; iv) analyse the technical feasibility of noise-reductions devices based on the developed concepts, and propose a roadmap towards their practical realization.

With the digitalization of the industry, smart electronics and sensors that control and supervise every stage of the paper production process are available. However, current solutions to process the data such as manual data processing, neural networks design or other machine learning models cannot keep up with the amount of gathered data, providing inefficient decision-making models that ultimately do not solve the problem completely. PerfectPattern has developed, Pythia, An Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution based on deep learning algorithms, capable of autonomously gathering, cleaning and analysing data within seconds. Pythia is able to forecast error behavior of a highly complex production system around 30 minutes ahead, with a model that takes under a second to compute data. Thanks to this long pre-warning time, it is possible to build smart strategies to prevent the error. The system even allows to check with Pythia if the strategy will effectively avoid the future error. We not only deploy the leading edge research in AI from Mathematics, we understand key influences coming from leading edge science in Physics (string theory, quantum field theory). Therefore Pythia’s AI is a leapfrog in technology. Pythia has already reported economic benefits to the paper production industry. But the potential of Pythia goes beyond the paper industry. With its unsupervised data analytics and anomaly detection capabilities, Pythia can be expanded as a prediction and production control system for many other industrial applications. With the PoC of Pythia giving successful initial results; there are several big decisions to make before we can continue with the project. We are seeking now to conduct a feasibility study in order to direct our development and commercial efforts.

Photochromic materials capable of undergoing reversible colour changes upon irradiation of light have potential revolutionary applications as optics and electronic devices, information displays and as smart materials. Due to technical limitations it has been so far a niche technology in most markets and currently 80% of their current commercial use is in the ophthalmic sector. Through this SME Instrument project, we at Futurechromes aim to validate the commercial feasibility of our proprietary fast responsive photochromic technology and translate it into consumer products in the eyewear, and architecture sectors. Our fast responsive photochromic films based on nanoencapsulation of the photochromic dyes, provides the speed, transparency, and other technical requirements, which have been hindering the widespread use of photochromatic materials. Moreover, our technology can be easily adapted to current manufacturing processes thus envisioning affordable fabrication costs. Building on a real market demand and partnerships with industry end-users in the ophthalmic sector already established, our technology has been validated to TRL6 as a forerunner to this project. Over the course of this Phase 1 SME Instrument, we will perform a feasibility study to define our product manufacturing strategy and to validate the economic viability of our product in the target end-user markets. Our goal is to ensure that our films are commercially available by 2022. We will develop on our business plan, whereby the commercial targets are to reach annual turnover of 8.15M€ by 2024 achieving 1.5% of our initial target market and incorporating 12 new full-time employees within the period 2019-2024.
