The goal of ECOSOCIAL is to examine empirically the historical evolution of political cleavages and socioeconomic inequalities, with a multidisciplinary perspective and the use of granular local level data and cutting-edge statistical methods. Who turns out to vote? Who do the poor and the rich vote for, and how has this changed in the long run? Why and when did the left-right voting pattern break down in Western democracies? What can the past teach us about democratic backsliding? While there is plenty of evidence on the rise of Europe’s far right and the emergence of multi-elite party systems, we lack a quantitative analysis of the long-term changes in the structure of political cleavages. The gap in the literature comes from the fact that it mostly relies on survey data, which do not allow us to go far back in time. An alternative is the reliance on local-level granular information, but inferring individual voting behavior from aggregate data may lead to ecological fallacies. ECOSOCIAL will help fill this gap, by exploiting the historical depth of existing electoral data while offering novel solutions to the ecological inference problems. Its novelty will be to put today’s transformations into a longer historical perspective – which crucially will allow us to better understand them and their consequences. ECOSOCIAL will advance the existing research in four steps. First, I will provide the first comprehensive quantitative study of US elections between 1788-2024, considering both Presidential votes and primaries. Second, I will propose novel econometric solutions to overcome ecological fallacies. Third, I will apply this new methodology to six European countries, thereby enhancing our understanding of partisan realignments in Western democracies. Finally, I will construct historical series of the evolution of social capital going back to the 19th century, so as to investigate whether the explanatory power of this factor has gained importance in recent years.

Due to planetary environmental crises and injustices we face as society, different academic communities have started to posit the need to reenvision scientific disciplines to deal with such crises. Science plays a crucial role in imagining sustainable just ways of living and in proposing solutions for the uneven way the intersected crises affects communities worldwide. Therefore, science education, as the connection between science and society, has a paramount role in cultivating imagination, aiming at sustainable just futures and educating the next generation of scientists and science educators. The question then becomes, “How can the imagination be pedagogically cultivated?” JustCLIma deals with this question by proposing a novel multi-theoretical and multimethodological approach centred on southern ways of being and doing to imagine and work towards just futures. The project operates from the premise that: 1) we need to imagine and learn with the spaces we inhabit, but also the ones we do not, and 2) we need to learn with decentred, usually overlooked spaces that today deal with deep climate conflicts. Hence, JustCLIma aims to address the following goals: 1) propose a theory of imagination through research training at the University of Groningen, and 2) fieldwork research in Chile and the Netherlands interviewing justice-oriented scientists and science educators involved in climate justice questions. With this knowledge, JustCLIma will: 3) design, implement, and evaluate pedagogical resources for the education of future scientists and science teachers. JustCLIma will contribute theoretically and empirically to science education with “Pedagogy for the Imagination: Science Education for Climate Just-Futures”, bringing more robustness to the knowledge that future scientists and science teachers are building about their disciplinary roles, encouraging identities as climate-just futures designers.

The project will combine ideas from Artificial Intelligence (AI), Spiking Neural P (SNP) systems, and Virus Machines (VMs) that are a branch of Natural Computing that aims in developing unconventional computing paradigms inspired by biological structures and behaviors. The "mixing" of the first two seemingly different research fields comes from neurons, both fields have strong connections with modelling of neurons: the AI field is based on the artificial neural networks (ANN) architecture, while the SNP systems are based on the neurons of the brain metaphor, an approximation to the “spiking” activity. Recently, several bridges have been constructed from the spiking neurons with a young computing paradigm called virus machines, which abstracts viral replication and transmission, gaining attention in recent years due to the novelty computing behavior and the higher control of the computation due to an instruction network. We propose “virus machines and artificial intelligence” to focus attention on domains in which virus machines might offer superior performance over conventional and neural-like systems within artificial intelligence. We consider potential pathways towards virus machines and develop applications in time series prediction and image processing. Moreover, we explore new bridges and discussions between this and other well-established unconventional computing paradigms.

Glass recycling uses mature technology limited by high energy consumption to melt tons of glass and the inflexibility of a heavy-duty system. Current technology only allows the recycling of certain glasses and a very small amount of waste generated. A new technology is required to allow the integral recycling of all types of glass, drastically reducing the carbon footprint. EverGLASS proposes to develop a radically new technology called "glass laser transformation" for on-site glass recycling and the generation of customized or technical products. Users will feed waste into a new machine and select which new product to get. The vision is ambitious, as it aims to bring to the consumer market a novel technology to enable virtually infinite reuse of glass. It is also radical since, through a multipurpose system capable of being located on any site, it proposes an alternative approach to the traditional centralized recycling process (particularly where this model is not possible, generating thousands of tons of glass waste annually taken to landfills). The new technology goes beyond the current limitations of the systems (high energy use, expensive and rigid process, strong logistical requirement), adopting a highly environmentally friendly model that will allow flexibility in the use of the material and in the process. Therefore, EverGLASS has the potential to revolutionize recycling as a concept. It also addresses one of the main problems with recycling, user participation, in an innovative way by allowing the personalization of recycled items of different use. Finally, it aims to encourage the use and reuse of glass as a quality material, displacing more environmentally problematic materials, such as plastics. This project brings together experts from advanced laser technologies (UVIGO), glass and ceramics science (ICV-CSIC), glass processing and engineering (TnUAD), risk and impact assessment (ACTALIA), Social Sciences (ESCI) and numerical simulation (ITWM).

Innovative nanostructured Aluminium composite. A constant goal in almost all areas of electronics is miniaturization. Miniaturization leads to a reduction in strip thicknesses and places ever higher demands on materials in terms of strength, conductivity, and formability. The trend towards transmitting higher currents goes hand in hand with higher demands on the base material. A key requirement for materials is thermal relaxation resistance, which enables it to maintain spring forces and transmit currents. Soluterials goal is to develop, produce and to offer nano-structured lightweight materials. Based on Ms. Kasakewitsch's scientific work and doctoral thesis, we developed a nanostructured aluminium material InC and transferred the production process from laboratory to pilot industrial scale. InC is the material that meets contemporary requirements and sets the course for the future. It’s a key enabling technology that will lead to far-reaching developments in downstream industries. The material properties are needed in all future industries, such as e-mobility, 5G, and electronics. For example, electrical conductors such as high-voltage cables could be constructed as self-supporting materials in future; in e-mobility, e-motors could be radically miniaturised. InC opens up completely new possibilities for the miniaturisation of electrical components. In addition, like aluminium, InC can be produced cost-effectively on established production lines in one process step. Soluterials is a "game-changer" in a multipurpose metal design (our customers can streamline their production by using only one instead of several metals/alloys for their different products/applications). Soluterials is a knowledge provider, as we help our customers to develop new benefits and products with InC.

The EU-2030 Biodiversity Strategy (COM/2020/380) aims to ensure Europe’s biodiversity will be on the path to recovery by 2030. Freshwater fish are among the taxa most-threatened by extinction in Europe, with a decline proven in abundance and biomass in most common European freshwater fish species. For Europe’s biodiversity to be on the path to recovery, researchers, environmental managers and policy makers must identify and mitigate environmental factors and anthropogenic pressures that impact freshwater fish populations. Chemical pressures are impacting 38% of European surface water. Among the 56 priority hazardous substances monitored in the EU-regulation in surface water, more than one third of them are classified as carcinogenic or suspected to be carcinogenic for humans. These substances may induce embryotoxicity, abnormal development, metabolic disorders and long-term initiation and promotion of carcinogenic pathways in fish species. There is a need to ascertain what ecological risks result from the exposure of aquatic organisms to genotoxicants in the environment, as well as a need to urgently develop innovative diagnostic tools to assess ecological risks in EU surface water. As proteins play a critical role in tumorigenesis, onco-proteomics has become a growing field in medical cancer research. In this project, we aim to develop next-generation biomarkers for two European endemic freshwater fish species by leveraging emerging high-throughput proteomics methods. Through lab and field experiments, we aim to identify toxicity pathways and relevant biomarkers in fish exposed to genotoxicants as well as relevant biomarker responses that are induced early, before individuals’ survival is threatened. This project will not only pioneer the use of diagnostic tools developed for medical research in the discipline of freshwater fish ecology but will also apply these tools in the field by measuring genotoxicant exposure of native fish populations in the Rhone River basin.

There is a major unmet need for effective and safe therapies for advanced peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) due to the high cardiovascular mortality, morbidity, and amputation rates in these patients. Aplagon is developing the first vascular injury -targeting product (APAC) for the local treatment of advanced PAOD. PAOD is caused by fatty deposits in lower limb arteries (atherosclerosis) that become inflamed (thromboinflammation), resulting in blood coagulation (atherothrombosis). APAC uniquely targets these vessels, prevents further atherosclerosis and downregulates thromboinflammation, the main drivers of PAOD. Aplagon has completed preclinical proof-of-concept and toxicology studies and received a regulatory approval to enter clinical studies. Aplagon has an experienced, international team, and is supported by a renowned scientific advisory board. We are applying for EIC-funding to show the safety and efficacy of APAC in PAOD/CLI-patients, a major value inflection point.

HUM.AI.N-ACCENT is an interdisciplinary research project that explores the neurocognitive and social impacts of foreign-accented speech in human-human and human-AI interactions. With millions of new arrivals to the European Union each year, there is an urgent need to understand how foreign accents influence communication, decision-making, and social dynamics. Research has shown that foreign-accented speech can generate biases and increase cognitive load, yet the origins and consequences of these effects are still poorly understood. The HUM.AI.N-ACCENT project aims to fill this gap by combining insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, AI engineering, human-computer interaction, and social science, with lifespan perspectives. Using advanced methodologies like neuroimaging, eye-tracking, virtual reality, and neural tracking, the project will investigate how foreign-accented speech affects neural responses, attention allocation, and social judgments. By studying both human-human and human-AI interactions, the project will provide critical insights into how accents shape communication and behaviour in diverse contexts. This research will have far-reaching scientific, societal, and technological impacts. It will deepen our understanding of speech perception and inform the development of more inclusive AI systems, advancing social, educational, clinical, and technology sectors. By training a new generation of researchers through a series of multidisciplinary workshops, hands-on training, and career development activities, HUM.AI.N-ACCENT will promote interdisciplinary collaboration between academic and non-academic sectors, helping the next generation of scientists to drive innovations in speech technology, reduce accent bias, and foster social inclusion. The project objectives align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals ‘Quality of Education’ and ‘Reduce Inequality’.
