Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health problem, endangering milliAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health problem, endangering millions of lives. Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) plays a crucial role in determining the type and concentration of antibiotics required to inhibit the growth of a pathogen. However, the major issue with the current ASTs is the slow diagnostics, from 24h to a few days, leading to mis-prescriptions and/or over-prescriptions, thus severely impacting treatment outcomes. At SoundCell, we developed SoundCell technology, a breakthrough technique that reduces the AST time from a few days to less than 1 hour. It is a graphene-based biosensor technology that uses nanomechanical vibrations of ultrathin micron-sized graphene drums to detect the motion of a single bacterium. We demonstrated that motion of alive and dead bacteria are different when adhered to the graphene sensors and we can correlate such changes to antibiotic susceptibility. During the EICT, we will mature SoundCell technology into a high-throughput cost-effective AST. We will develop high-volume manufacturing methods and engineer a user-friendly low-cost prototype readout system. We will validate our AST prototype in 2 clinical labs through testing of a variety of pathogenic clinical isolates and benchmarking speed and sensitivity of our platform against other AST techniques. We will establish our exploitation strategy and regulatory roadmap, develop, and execute the business model, and develop stakeholders’ engagement. SoundCell technology will directly lower healthcare expenses by shortening hospital stays with fewer lab and diagnostics tests and improve clinical outcomes of patients by reducing recovery time, secondary complications and mortality. We have filed 2 patent applications and envision another 4 patents over the project duration. By 2030 we forecast €17M revenues and employment for up to 60 personnel.

The amino moiety is a fundamental functional group with essential functions across the chemical and life sciences, including agrochemical and pharmaceutical research and manufacture, polymer chemistry, and biochemistry. Therefore, there is a well-acknowledged need for new and more sustainable methods to construct C-N bonds. Most procedures for C-N bond formation rely on the use of toxic and expensive transition metal catalysts, which are notoriously impeded by undesired β-hydride elimination and/or poor site selectivity. Consequently, the search for new and more sustainable catalytic paradigms in synthesis has shifted towards the main group elements. Bismuth was recently demonstrated to moonlight both as a noble or first row transition metal, displaying reactivity in 1-electron and 2-electron processes at will. This dichotomy in reactivity of low-valent Bi complexes could potentially be crucial in addressing the long-standing issues encountered in C–N bond formation. Thus, ClaN-Bi aims to discover and develop new catalytic C–N cross-coupling reactions to generate both aliphatic and aromatic amines by exploiting the new Bi(I)/(II)/(III) redox platform.

We are constantly surrounded by measuring systems ranging from pedometrics, timesheets, and impact factors to carbon footprints, happiness barometers, or risk assessments. Quantity-assessment systems are always at work to allocate value to our actions. This research project sets out to study diverse valuation regimes with an emphasis on their material and conceptual linkages with the worlds they measure. The project studies the properties of different units, measures, and standards to analyse how a choice of unit affects the numeric representation of human values. It approaches this task through a primary focus on ethnographic data from Oceania, but employs a comparative research design that draws out the usefulness of small-scale, ethnographic analyses for global issues. The project introduces a unit-centred context-dependent approach. It assumes that the need to establish a fixed point of comparison is something common to all measuring scales: any yardstick of valuation requires a basic unit, a standard equivalent that serves as the basis of a scale. The “Properties of Units and Standards” (PrUS) research project sets out from the commonplace observation that the units used for measuring value are specific rather than universal equivalents, and as such possess properties and affordances that hook up with people’s social worlds and material surroundings in various different ways. This, in turn, makes the choice of measure a consequential act with material, economic, and eventually more far-reaching socio-cultural effects. In short, the project assumes that there are no “neutral” units, and that by focusing specifically on the base units underlying numerical representation on any scale, we can call attention to both the material and the moral, political, even cosmological ideas linked to particular measures. A measuring scale highlights some phenomena but omits or obfuscates others: its deployment has consequences beyond the simple act of creating numbers.

The catalytic reverse water-gas shift reaction (rWGS) will be a key technological process in the current effort to reduce the global CO2 emissions levels. It enables the utilisation of CO2 as an abundant and renewable carbon source and to transform flue gas into value added products. Coupling the rWGS reaction with renewable energy sources will facilitate the development of closed carbon cycles and to establish circular economy concepts. The main technological obstacles of implementing industrial rWGS processes are stability and selectivity issues of commercial catalyst materials at the required high reaction temperatures. In my current ERC project, we have developed a novel catalyst material based on perovskite oxides that solves these issues. Perovskites are utilised in various high-performance applications (e.g. high temperature fuel cells) and due to their compositional flexibility allow for a materials design approach. In first lab scale rWGS tests, our novel Co-doped materials even outperform commercial benchmarks. The design of commercial catalysts strongly differs from materials studied in fundamental research. Hence, several development steps are necessary to successfully utilise our perovskite-based catalysts in industrial processes. First, the active surface area has to be strongly increased by modifying the synthesis, enabling a scale-up of the catalyst fabrication. Secondly, the perovskites have to be transformed into structured catalysts utilised in industrial reactors (e.g. pellets). These modifications enable rWGS tests in a small pilot reactor and benchmarks of our material against industrial standards. In parallel, the commercialisation potential of our novel perovskite catalysts for rWGS processes will be evaluated. This will enable us to showcase our vision about CO2 utilisation to industrial stakeholders and to find potential partners for future development of real scale rWGS pilot reactors.

Over two million foreigners served in the ranks of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. They came from different occupied territories and war zones, or even from uninvolved and neutral countries. These men had a significant impact on the war itself and how it was experienced and conducted. How these men from more than 40 countries experienced the war in German uniform as transnational soldiers remains a black box. TransWarSoldierWWII will trace the experiences of these soldiers by focusing on those who originated from the Benelux to determine the framework of the European war experience from a new angle. This research will deepen understandings of individual biographies of foreign soldiers in WWII from a transnational perspective. This new angle will open up the academic and public discussion on the involvement of non-German soldiers and their entanglement in the war and aims at a profound and critical analysis beyond nation-state narratives. I will be hosted at the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD) in Amsterdam, where Professor Ismee Tames will supervise and mentor me. The research is premised on Responsible Research and Innovation. It will result in a symposium on transnational war experiences, two scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and dissemination activities in public lectures and a podcast. The project's overall aim is to strengthen my research capacity and skills to assist in securing a leading research position that will enable me to contribute my knowledge and make a crucial impact on this field in military and social history.

The project objective is to raise the excellence and reputation of the Institute of physics (IPB) in all scientific, management, and administrational aspects relevant for international R&I activities. In this context, the emerging scientific field of quantum bio-photonics will be systematically developed and all aspects of classical bio-photonics are going to be significantly improved. The final goal is to establish a quantum biophotonics center at IPB, with scientific excellence and a research light house character. This development will be a result of a tailored institutional strategy for IPB and knowledge transfer through strategic networking with two high-profile European partners, Friedrich-Schiller University Jena (FSU) and the Italian National Research Council (CNR). Quantum bio-photonics is an emerging field for ultra-sensitive and reliable measurements in a wide bio-environment since classical metrology cannot successfully meet the increasing demand for higher sensitivity. Bio-photonics is a concrete, multidisciplinary scientific field with potentially high-impact applications in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, environmental protection. Therefore, it is crucial that an institutional strategy should include a tailored scientific strategy addressing this specific scientific field. A scientific exploratory project will include the development of all relevant methods and practices learned from the European partners. A long-term partner of IPB, the Faculty of biology University of Belgrade, is included to help IPB biologists in choosing, preparing and cultivating suitable biosamples. In particular, the project consortium is pursuing the following project goals regarding the expansion and strengthening of the resources and know at IPB: i) developing a short-term institutional strategy including excellent research at IPB based on strong development of quantum biophotonics, ii) improving management, administration, and organization skills in IPB, utilizing

Atoms and electrons are the central building blocks of almost all materials around us. Whenever there is a process or change, the atoms and the electrons have to move from initial to final configurations. These movements are very fast and very small: nanometers to picometers in space and femtoseconds to attoseconds in time. Ultrafast electron microscopy can provide a movie-like access, but we can only see processes that are excited by special laser light, although many reaction phenomena in nature proceed with a much less specific stimulus. This project has two major aims. (a) We will use sequences of ultrashort electron pulses to develop novel ways to understand ultrasmall and ultrafast material dynamics with nanometer/atomic control. (b) We will advance ultrafast spectroscopy and imaging towards a statistical investigation of reaction dynamics as they occur in unspecific ways. We will become capable of understanding reaction dynamics on atomic scales and obtain first-ever insight into femtosecond processes in so far unobservable regimes. Based on these new capabilities, we will investigate a broad range of questions in materials science, nanophotonics, electronic circuitry, magnetism, chemistry and atomic physics, in order to better understand and optimize the functionality of advanced materials for technology and life.

The problem with today’s autonomous system architectures is that minimal changes in the camera alignment of less than 1 mm can lead to significant misalignments and invalidate measurements of the surrounding environment, leading to major safety concerns in autonomous vehicles. Tripleye has invented the COP (Circular optical perception) to solve this issue. The COP is a next generation camera only computer vision system that uses proprietary algorithms (named KIEV and RubberStereo) together with a fisheye camera to triangulate and capture high level 3d spatial components needed for advanced automation. Specifically, COP offers a revolutionary solution for the safe and efficient operation of earthmoving, material handling, and automated guided vehicles. During the proposed EIC project, Tripleye will look to upgrade its software stacks, integrate the system into material handling/earth moving machines in a real working environment for iterative testing.
