Storage is becoming one of the most critical assets for modern energy systems. At the same time storage is a very diverse universe of solutions and technologies with very different characteristics. InterSTORE plans to address this complexity by developing an innovative middleware that, while virtualising the storage technology, will simplify its use from the point of view of integration platform thanks to a technology agnostic approach.The middleware will facilitate the integration of storage creating an independence from hardware solutions which are critical from customer perspectives to avoid vendor lock-in solutions. It will also facilitate its use from a monetisation perspective making sure that more investments in storage are enabled. InterSTORE middleware will be released as a full open-source product integrating a set of already available standards and protocols in a coherent and advanced architecture.The new InterSTORE solution will be tested and validated in a laboratory environment with the goal to develop testing software to be adopted in the future for interoperability certification. The middleware solution will also be integrated both in open source and commercial platforms that will be integrated in 4 real life demos to enhance the flexibility platforms and analyze the user acceptance and economic value of the new solution. Moreover, new and legacy systems will be taken into account. InterSTORE also has a strong focus towards impact. The solution will become part of existing commercial platforms ensuring that a real adoption will be deployed beyond the end of the project. The consortium will ensure that software maintenance will continue beyond the end of the project with the support of Linux Foundation Energy and that the work done will be considered by on-going standardization activities. SSH experts will perform an impact analysis to maximize the economic impact adopting innovative approaches to data monetization in the context of data spaces.

Particle physics is at a crossroads. The largest collider ever built so far has found no evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model leaving us with major open problems such as the absence of antimatter in our universe and the origin of nonzero neutrino masses. While plans for new colliders with extreme collision energies are being pursued, an alternative way to find new clues is through low-energy precision experiments that can detect subtle quantum effects from beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. The experimental prospects are great, but their interpretation requires high-precision theoretical calculations of particle physics effects on complex systems such as neutrons, atomic nuclei, and molecules. My goal is to develop new theoretical tools based on effective field theory to greatly improve the theoretical accuracy of the most promising high-precision observables. I will focus on superallowed beta decay measurements (the Common), extremely rare double-weak decays of atoms (the Rare), and yet-to-be-discovered neutrinoless double beta decay and permanent electric dipole moments (the UNSeen). These observables are targeted by an intense worldwide experimental program and have the potential to unravel the nature of neutrino mass, to break the Standard Model pattern of quark mixing, and to find the origin of the universal matter-antimatter asymmetry. Doing so requires the new tools and methods developed in this proposal to improve the theoretical accuracy to record levels and to connect low-energy experiments to mysteries in high-energy particle physics and cosmology.

The REVIVE project aims to revolutionize battery longevity in electric vehicles (EVs) by directly addressing and reversing aging mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). While LIBs are critical for EVs, they suffer from degradation issues like lithium plating and solid-electrolyte interface growth, which reduce battery capacity, increase safety risks, and drive up lifecycle costs due to replacements. Current battery management systems primarily monitor battery in a passive manner rather than actively mitigating these aging processes. REVIVE proposes a breakthrough, applying targeted, non-invasive battery treatments—including tailored electrical pulses, thermal conditioning, and acoustic waves—to actively counteract and reverse battery aging, potentially extending battery life to match the operational life of EV. This approach minimizes the need for EV battery replacements, reducing resource consumption and environmental impact. The project’s three-phase strategy involves (1) designing advanced in-situ diagnostics tools to closely differentiate different aging modes and predict their progression with minimized aging footprint during characterization, (2) harnessing physics-informed artificial intelligence based on reinforcement learning in discovering the most effective non-invasive rejuvenation and treatment strategies and protocols based on external stimuli, and (3) pioneering advanced anti-aging and self-repair battery charging protocols that reduce degradation while optimizing charging time. This approach integrates expertise across battery electronics, physics, control theory, Multiphysics modeling, and AI, presenting a transformative solution for EV sustainability and laying the groundwork for a new research frontier in regenerative battery science with broader implications for energy storage systems.

The ambition of GreenFeedBack is to enhance knowledge of the greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in the ecosystems and GHG in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems to provide a solid basis for estimation of regional and global climate feedback processes taking human pressure on ecosystems into account. GreenFeedBack studies the processes in sensitive terrestrial, freshwater, coastal and marine areas of which some are hypothesized to be tipping elements in the climate system. Thus, we primarily focus on high latitude terrestrial and freshwater systems, marine shelves and ocean areas and thereby advance the process-based representation of ecosystems in Earth System Models (ESM). The analysis involves co-design between scientists and stakeholders. We use data from the ICOS and ACTRIS stations in Europe and the GIOS, GEM and SMEAR network in Greenland and Finland as well as data from dedicated field and laboratory studies. The enhanced knowledge will be used to improve descriptions of the GHG processes for implementation in ecosystem models and ESMs. Hence, GreenFeedBack improves and applies ecosystem- and Earth System models to advance our understanding of GHGs effects on climate variability over different time horizons. GreenFeedBack-HOP ON widens GreenFeedBack by adding University of Tartu (UT). This enhances the project’s objective by adding the GHG N2O and especially the indirect GHGs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the study. Advanced knowledge of VOC and N2O fluxes will contribute to a more holistic understanding- of the biogeochemical cycles in the terrestrial ecosystems. Furthermore, this addition will strengthen GreenFeedBack’s ambition to enhance present understanding of climate-ecosystem interaction by adding a specific objective on enhancing our knowledge of the fluxes of VOCs and the effects as a precursor for aerosol formation.

Political elites-political representatives who can take binding decisions, e.g. ministers, parliamentarians, local politicians-face numerous radically uncertain phenomena, from Covid-19 to the long-term effects of Brexit. Radical uncertainty is characterized by manifold unknowns, ambiguity and vagueness, and it differs fundamentally from resolvable uncertainty, those situations in which it is possible to assign probabilities to outcomes, like the electoral consequences of welfare retrenchment. RADIUNCE will explore how these phenomena influence political elites' behavior. Do they "avoid" uncertainty, as some did with the coronavirus; use rules of thumb, "heuristics", e.g. comparing Covid-19 to the flu; or display other behavioral responses? Answering this is urgent: different responses have different outcomes that may impact how representative democracies function and how effective they are at solving problems. For example, avoiding a virus may cost lives, while using heuristics may result in faulty courses of action. RADIUNCE's aim is to develop a theoretical model of how political elites respond to both radically and resolvably uncertain phenomena. We will focus on four countries with different institutional opportunities and constraints for responding to uncertainty: Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, 1996-2021. The model will be multidisciplinary, integrating insights from political science, behavioral economics, decision theory, psychology and public administration. We will collect new, unique comparative data from politicians through an innovative combination of automated text analysis and survey experiments. Taking a multimethods approach, we will integrate quantitative data with qualitative methods (process tracing, Qualitative Comparative Analysis, interviews). The new model will explain how political elites respond to the challenges and opportunities in our face-pace world from digitalization to Covid-19 to migration.

Ambitious goals of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and decarbonisation have been set by the recent policies European Green Deal, Energy Union (2030 energy and climate targets) and European Union’s 2050 long-term decarbonisation strategy, aiming for a successful green energy transition. My project objective is to enhance the cryogenic chilldown process to minimise liquid hydrogen consumption in future applications as fuel for terrestrial, maritime and aviation transportation. Indeed, combined with partial vehicle electrification, the use of cryogenic fuels (first and foremost liquid hydrogen) in terrestrial, maritime and aviation transports has gained an increasingly prominent role thanks to their environmentally friendly nature and ability to store the energy and control its release. Cryogenic fuels can be stored as gas or liquid. Even though cryogenic liquefaction requires energy due to typical low temperatures (< 120 K), it is advantageous since it produces high fuel densities. This makes liquified cryogenic fuels particularly suitable for the next hybrid transport systems. However, defined as the initial transient process of keeping the system adjusted to the low temperature, cryogenic chilldown in pipelines of fuel storage and handling systems is still highly inefficient (average quenching efficiency < 39%). I propose a new strategy for cryogenic chilldown enhancement by tuning the inner wettability of pipelines using surface engineering via femtosecond laser texturing.

The B-THENET Thematic Network implements a multi actor (MA) approach to modernize the EU beekeeping sector, sharing knowledge that is ready to be put into practice, while fostering innovation and digitalization. Beekeepers will be advanced toward more economically viable and sustainable beekeeping through the knowledge sharing and training of useful and applicable best practices. Our MA approach engages the entire apiculture sector (beekeepers, advisors, researchers, policymakers, industry, consumers, etc.) to collect, categorize and help select best practices and applicable research findings not sufficiently known, using a bottom-up methodology that populates two accessible platforms (“Practices” and “R&I”). Only practices that meet beekeepers’ needs, are effective and ready to use, will be selected, shared and customized in our public platform (“Exchange”) and in national sub-networks (13 National Centres), so we can take into account the differences between territories, and adapt practices to specific regions, languages, equipment, bee genetics, diseases, and the operational scale of beekeeping. This approach will support the setting-up of tailored and validated best practices. A sociological study will map out the channels most consulted by beekeepers to maximise the dissemination of practices in a specific, long-term platform (“Repository”), which is set up to share best practices in appealing, easy to understand, audio-visual materials, translated into 15 EU languages. The flow of practical information will be supported by the 13 National Centres, 3 International Centres and by the targeted events (312 national and 6 international), 1 EU manual on best practices, and 1 set of guidelines for advisors in beekeeping, thus contributing to a rapid cross-fertilization process and to a greater acceptance of the final outputs.
