The urgent need for a global energy transformation requires major and rapid shifts in energy technologies, accompanied by changes in material demand and supply, which can potentially result in material bottlenecks. Despite great interest from policy and research, current approaches fail to account for key drivers of material bottlenecks, such as: (i) new material demands of specific energy technologies (e.g. iridium for electrolysis), (ii) phased-out material supply (e.g. gypsum from fossil power plants), (iii) competing material demand beyond the energy system (e.g. iridium for smartphones), and (iv) limits in material availability and disposability (e.g. recyclability, carbon-neutral waste handling) resulting in an underestimation of bottlenecks, while even more importantly integrated mitigation strategies are not investigated at all. MATERIALIZE will generate this urgently needed new holistic understanding about how these drivers can affect the global energy transformation and which mitigation strategies are best suited to pave the way towards a material realizable energy transformation. The key novelty of MATERIALIZE will be to transform elements of the yet disparate fields of energy and material system modelling at unprecedented levels of detail into one innovative interdisciplinary, scalable, nested, and prospective model framework. MATERIALIZE aims to conduct boundary-pushing research on the global scale of the whole energy system with 3 objectives: (i) unveil potential material bottlenecks, (ii) identify alternatives navigating these, and (iii) assess the impacts of alternatives on the energy and material systems. The deeply advanced understanding of the energy-material nexus will produce timely insights about most robust transformation pathways, which will ultimately open up new frontiers to develop new alternatives and navigation strategies and to explore spatially-explicit economic and political implications of a material realizable energy transformation.

The library of 2D materials is growing at a rapid rate driven by the potential extraordinary electronic applications that they can offer. In parallel, terahertz (THz) technologies has continued to draw a great interest due to the many applications that it can have a profound impact in but has continuously been hindered due to the low power and wide scale applicability of current THz source technologies. THz surface plasmonics is coming in to the forefront as an area which can bridge these two emerging technologies and allow the necessary breakthrough that is needed in the so called THz source gap region of 0.5 – 3 THz. In this project the goal is to develop architectures which can efficiently amplify THz waves based on surface plasmons in 2D materials. The fundamental attributes that underline this approach resides in the interaction between THz radiation and electrically driven surface plasmons which provides amplification through an exchange of energy and momentum limited only by the properties of the gain medium. Thus the limits of the amplification are governed by limits to the electrical excitation of surface plasmons and how well these surface plasmons couple to the THz radiation. By utilizing novel 2D materials with extraordinary electrical properties based on Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) and Transition Metal Monochalcogenides (TMMs) as well as traditional carbon based materials such as graphene we plan to stretch these limits and achieve ground breaking results in terms of amplification and gain by incorporating the developed amplifiers into existing state-of-the-art Silicon – Germanium hetero junction bipolar (HBT) based THz arrays. In the consortium led by THALES, leading experts from advanced research institutes, SMEs and universities which specialize in growth and modelling of 2D Materials as well as THz source development and characterization have come together to achieve such a ground-breaking vision.

Astatine (At) is the rarest naturally occurring Astatine (At) is the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth, exhibiting only short-lived radioisotopes. One of them, 211At, decays with a half-life of 7.2 h by emission of a highly energetic alpha particle, making it one of the rare alpha emitters suitable for targeted alpha therapy (TAT) of cancers, if bound to an appropriate cancer targeting molecule. Because the number of cyclotrons able to produce it has seen a significant rise in the past years, it is expected that 211At will become more accessible and play a major role in the development of TAT. Astatine belongs to the halogen elements, and despite more than 80 years since its discovery, many chemical properties remain to be discovered. This lack of knowledge is due to the absence of stable isotopes and the availability in minute amounts that preclude the use of standard analytical methods. Yet, research has shown that At behaves similarly to metals but also to halogens, forming bonds similar to its closest homologue, iodine, such as the carbon-At bond. This strategy is the main approach currently available to develop 211At-labeled radiopharmaceuticals. Yet, a lack of in vivo stability of the C-At bond is often observed, resulting in the release of 211At before it reaches its target and leading to irradiation of healthy tissues. Improving this stability is therefore a major challenge that remains to be overcome in order to unleash the potential of 211At in cancer treatments. In this context the objective of the SAt-Radio project is to explore alternative bonding modalities to the C-At bond in order to develop novel radiolabeling approaches with improved in vivo stability. The strategies developed will exploit both the halogen and the metallic character of At, using analytical and computational approaches that have recently become available and making possible to elucidate the chemistry of this enigmatic elements at the trace concentration it is available.

The search for a therapeutic intervention that can lead to HIV remission or cure is a global priority of the HIV field. HIV-specific antibodies have the potential to alter the clinical course of infection and enhance antiviral immune responses. In addition, we have recently demonstrated that antibody-based HIV immunotherapy results in higher-than-average cases of durable HIV remission in the absence of antiretroviral medication. Moreover, passive administration of HIV-specific antibodies was associated with reductions in the size of the replication-competent HIV reservoir which is the major barrier towards a cure for HIV. While these results highlight the exceptional potential of HIV immunotherapy, it is critical to understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for higher rates of HIV remission and antibody-mediated changes in the reservoir. Therefore, we will identify individuals with long-term HIV remission from clinical antibody-immunotherapy trials before comprehensively characterizing host immune responses, host-viral gene expression and the HIV latent reservoir. By combining highly valuable clinical samples with novel strategies for the characterization of viral immunity and persistence, we aim to establish a relationship between antibody-based HIV immunotherapy, host immunological factors, adaptive immune responses, and the nature of the viral reservoir with the overarching goal of developing clinical interventions for long-term, drug-free HIV remission or cure.

5G mobile networks will be soon fully available, handling all types of applications and providing services to massive number of users. In this complex and dynamic network ecosystem, an optimized end-to-end satellite support is key to manage requirements imposed by multiple vertical industries requiring full global connectivity. The European space sector acknowledged this as a key opportunity to expand its business towards the massive deployment of broadband services, what resulted in standardization efforts to adapt 5G to satellite needs. In this context, the aim of TRANTOR is to perform a significant step forward by paving the path for the 5G NTN evolution towards 6G. To do so, TRANTOR targets the in-orbit validation of a complete satellite value chain involving an automated management of satellite resources across multiple bands, satellites, and orbits, and a converged radio access network. Specifically, at the ground segment, TRANTOR targets the development of novel satellite network management solutions, fully integrated in the 3GPP management framework, which allow the significant scaling up of heterogeneous satellite traffic demands and capacities in a cost-effective, highly dynamic, band and orbit agnostic manner. AI governance will be a main pillar here enabling real time radio resource management across multiple satellite systems for efficiently and trustworthy addressing satellite client needs. In parallel, in the user segment, TRANTOR aims to radically increase the flexibility of access architecture by enabling pre-6G non-terrestrial multi-connectivity. It will be supported by the design of a multi-orbit and multi-band antenna for satellite UEs as well as by the development of gNB and UE 5G NTN equipment able to attend the multi-connectivity needs. Finally, TRANTOR aims to introduce security mechanisms to provide resilience to all types of cyber-threads, specially those emerging from the integrated management and multi-connectivity framework proposed.

The GIANTS project aims to enhance collaboration between primary producers, rural actors, and bio-based industries to accelerate Europe's transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. Through the implementation of a robust multi-actor approach (MAA), the project fosters innovative cooperation models and circular bio-based business practices to maximize the use of agricultural, forestry, and agri-food by-products. GIANTS addresses the pressing need to fully integrate primary producers—such as farmers and foresters—into the bioeconomy, shifting their role from being mere biomass suppliers to becoming pivotal stakeholders within the bio-based value chain. The project will engage over 80 primary producers, bringing them closer to innovative cooperative and circular bio-based business models (CCBBMs). To achieve this, GIANTS will offer the community (i) tailored capacity-building programs designed to create wider value networks, (ii) direct financial support via two Open Calls to support the piloting and scaling-up of new bio-based solutions, and (iii) dedicated decision-making tools, including Impact Shift, a well-established environmental self-assessment tool, and Coompy, a tool developed specifically within the GIANTS framework to address governance aspects of these cooperation models. Access to the comprehensive program developed by GIANTS, along with its integrated support tools, will empower stakeholders to effectively design and implement long-term CCBBMs. These resources, working in synergy, will accelerate the introduction of 30+ new bio-based products to the market, contributing up to 20% reduction in life-cycle impacts and generating over 130 direct jobs while driving more than €44M in annual sales. By reducing reliance on fossil resources, GIANTS will play a crucial role in building a competitive, sustainable, and resilient bioeconomy across Europe.

The Preamble to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights speaks of the peoples of Europe who are conscious of its heritage and wish to share a peaceful future based on such common values as dignity, equality and solidarity. One of the crucial sources of these values is Classical Antiquity, which laid the foundations for many ideas shaping our contemporary world. In particular, the ancient myths and their reception build a sense of community and a code of reciprocal understanding – so important in times of growing separatist tendencies – and they permit us to address issues relevant for our societies, e.g. war (Troy), migration (Aeneas), disability (Minotaur), ecology (dryads) and pandemics (Oedipus). Even the “dark sides” of the Classics, like slavery and the discrimination of women, offer vital impulses for discussion of our current challenges, with a limited risk of trauma, for the myths are perceived as both close to and detached from our reality. This heritage of such amazing potential is vanishing, however, from school education, which loses its connection with research. We respond to this problem with a unique programme conveyed via a Handbook for high schoolers. The Handbook will draw on materials from the Our Mythical Childhood Consolidator Grant, incl. the ground-breaking animations of ancient vases. Its chapters will contain examples of myth reception from all the EU member states, along with the extra-European contexts covered by my team members and experts from Australia, Cameroon, Israel, UK, USA, etc. It will have a game format: its users will play Modern Argonauts on a voyage of discovery of the shared mythical heritage. Owing to the collaboration established by the PI, the Handbook will be promoted by such leading bodies as Fédération Internationale des Associations d’Etudes Classiques, Cambridge School Classics Project and Associazione Italiana di Cultura Classica, thus providing societies worldwide with an innovative model for research-based education.
