My research objective is to understand from the perspective of Critical Mathematics Education how in-service primary school teachers using a methodology of landscapes of investigation are involved in the study and development of teaching activities. In order to achieve the general objective of this study, specifically, we propose Objective one (O1): to verify, in the European context, the current scenario of research in mathematics education aimed at training primary school teachers to work with investigative activities; Objective two (O2): to analyse how primary school teachers learn, from a practice of continuing education, to produce activities based on landscapes of investigation and develop them with their students; Objective three (O3): to identify continuing education dynamics that favour primary teacher learning related to the creation of a landscape of investigation in mathematics classes; and Objective four (O4): to analyse changes in the teaching conception of primary school teachers related to mathematics, based on their involvement in continuing education practices and creation of landscapes of investigation. We use a case study methodology with a qualitative approach. To reach (O1), we will conduct a detailed review of the current literature in the European context in mathematics education aimed at training primary school teachers. To achieve (O2), (O3), and (O4), we will analyse teacher engagement in a continuing education practice aimed at Portuguese primary teachers. In this practice, developed in 50 hours, we will explore the creation and development of pedagogical activities based on the landscape of investigation in mathematics classes. The data will be obtained through the formative practice. The method of data collection will be participant observation, using video and audio recording, notes in the researcher’s field notebook, and semi-structured interviews. We will use category content analysis to analyse the data.

Tissue renewal by adult stem cells is regulated by a multitude of cell intrinsic and extrinsic mechanism, which jointly guide decisions between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Change between these two cellular fates is considered to result from transcriptional events that sequentially alter the function of the whole cell – including its metabolism. However, recent findings by us and others demonstrate that metabolism can actually actively influence cell fate. Moreover, metabolites can be exchanged between neighbor cells in the stem cell niche, raising the question on how cell fate can be accurately controlled. I hypothesize that fate of tissue stem cells is controlled by metabolism running jointly within the surrounding cellular community, and the geometry of the niche regulates stem cells via effects on this communal metabolism. In order to first identify metabolic pathways capable of altering cell fate, we will establish the exact order of metabolic and transcriptional events that distinguish the two daughters cells in the first hours after asymmetric cell division. Second, to assess the extent and impact of metabolite sharing in the stem cell niche, we will develop methods capable of detecting exchange of metabolites that are produced specifically in one cell type and used by others. Finally, to study the impact of niche geometry, we will develop artificial scaffolds instructing custom niche topology, and study the communal metabolism and stem cell fate regulation on tissue mimetic and non-physiologic niche geometries. The work is enabled by our unique research tools allowing identification of cells with distinct fates based on the chronological age of organelles they inherit in cell division. Moreover, we study two stem cell systems with opposing dynamics, providing insights on general principles and increasing robustness of the study plan. Our work also has the potential to uncover metabolic tools advancing protocols for future cellular therap

Films are made out of materials, at specific moments in specific places. But while philosophy of film and film-philosophy are today as strong as ever, a certain set of anti-materialist assumptions continues operating in these fields. Philosophers of film tend to treat questions of the materiality of the medium as subordinate to representational and narrative contents. Likewise, philosophical understandings of the ethical and social significance of the filmic medium continue to focus on the contents of films rather than the nature of the medium itself. These approaches can be surprising from the materialist perspectives of avant-garde and experimental cinema. But while philosophy of film and film-philosophy have not yet incorporated the lessons of the materialist avant-garde, traditional film theory has tended to treat certain geographically and nationally specific avant-gardes as though they were geographically neutral: somehow standing in for the rest. Other filmic avant-gardes belonging to other geographic regions, even those articulating compelling and innovative material views of the medium, have gotten lost. Nevertheless, a unified, materialist philosophical view of film emerges once we pay attention to the Ibero-American avant-garde, which we can call “recurrentist materialism”. Indeed, paying greater attention to recurrentist materialism and the Ibero-American avant-garde can provide an important alternative to dominant anti-materialist and geographically natural pictures in contemporary philosophy of film and film-philosophy. This is what the researcher will undertake throughout the 24 months of the fellowship through scientific articles, the preparation of a book manuscript, teaching, the organization of a colloquium on the Philosophy of Film, and a two-part film series, which will include invitations to actually practicing filmmakers, as well as two workshops for philosophers on the technical and material properties of film.

All life is dependent on enzymatic reactions and functional enzyme cascades have been evolutionary optimized. Yet, introducing “foreign” enzymes into other organisms through genetic engineering often results in reduced or no enzymatic activity. In nature enzymatic activity and efficiency are often enhanced by encapsulation of enzymes in microcompartments resulting in protection and rate enhancement through high local concentrations of enzymes, co-factors and substrates. In NanoCat I will engineer artificial microcompartments hosting highly efficient enzyme cascades that are operational in organisms where they do not naturally occur. The approach is based on my recently developed method to controllably template silica nanostructures by DNA origami. These inorganic materials retain the attractive features of DNA origami like precise localization and number placement of proteins of interest. Combining the power of DNA nanotechnology with the sturdiness and biocompatibility of silica as artificial enzyme-hosting microcompartments, I now have a highly disruptive tool at hand that has the power to outperform standard biological methods and be a true game changer. NanoCat is a novel approach to assemble complex enzymes outside of their natural environments to address health issues, global carbon emissions and plant fertilizers, something that current biological methods struggle to do. The immense demand in today’s agricultural, climate and health needs urgently calls for engineered systems with full control over size, shape and functionalizability to enhance enzymatic activity and endow organisms with new and improved properties. NanoCat aims to provide a solution to these issues through the assembly of artificial enzyme-hosting microcompartments from silicified DNA origami with universal applicability, which I will exemplify through the formation of “carboxy-, nitrogy- and galactysomes” for CO2/nitrogen fixation and the cellular delivery of essential lysosomal enzymes.

Despite clear signs that the impacts of climate change are escalating, the global response has been inadequate. Traditional scientific efforts have fallen short of providing knowledge and tools that have been broadly applied in decision-making, and innovative approaches to knowledge translation are needed. To catalyse climate action in Europe to protect public health, our overarching goal is to provide new knowledge, data, and tools on: i) the relationships between changes in environmental hazards caused by climate change, ecosystems, and human health; ii) the health co-benefits of climate action; iii) the role of health evidence in decision making; and iv) the societal implications of climate change for health systems. This will be achieved through five specific objectives: 1) to develop an integrated indicator framework and repository to track the status of health-relevant outcomes of climate actions; 2) to quantify the health co-benefits and full social and environmental costs and benefits resulting from mitigation measures outside of the health sector; 3) to develop innovative surveillance and forecasting tools that facilitate effective response to environmental health hazards (e.g. heat stress, allergenic pollen) caused by climate change and the design, monitoring and evaluation of interventions to mitigate climate change; 4) to investigate how stakeholders engage with evidence regarding the health impacts of climate change, and to develop strategies and tools to facilitate engagement; and 5) to provide evidence and training on the most effective strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation for health systems, with specific focus on vulnerable populations including those occupationally exposed to hazards induced by climate change. CATALYSE is a powerful, interdisciplinary consortium with a mission to further develop and communicate evidence of the health impacts of climate change and respond to the urgent need for solutions. CATALYSE is part of the European cluster on climate change and health (name and acronym to be decided).

The Critical ChangeLab project aims to reinvigorate the relationship between youth and democracy and consequently the future of 21st Century European democracy. This is achieved by spearheading the reach and impact of Critical ChangeLab Model of Democratic Pedagogy, fostering youth's active democratic citizenship at a time where polarisation, deep political divisions and declining trust in democracy are spreading across Europe. The Critical ChangeLab Model for Democratic Pedagogy fosters learners' transformative agency and strengthens democratic processes in education through collaborations across formal and non-formal education and local actors around global/local challenges relevant for youth. The Model promotes creative and narrative practices to explore the historical roots of local and EU-wide challenges, understanding the value-systems and worldviews underlying distinct types of relations (human-human, human-nature, human-technology). At the Critical ChangeLabs, young people are introduced to approaches such as theatre of the oppressed, transmedia storytelling, as well as speculative and critical design to rethink European democracy and envision justice oriented democracy futures. Throughout the lifespan of the project, Critical ChangeLab aims to examine the current state of democracy within education institutions identifying youth’s perspectives on everyday democracy; design a scalable and tailorable model of democratic pedagogy in formal and non-formal learning environments; co-create and implement the model with youth and stakeholders, evaluate the model generating recommendations for policy and practice, and develop strategies to sustain the model and its outcomes overtime. Through various research actions combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, Critical ChangeLab will generate a robust evidence base to support democratic curriculum development using participatory, and creative and critical approaches.

Asphalt recycling is globally important for its environmental and economic benefits, including reduced CO2 emissions, conservation of natural resources, and cost savings. The growing demand for sustainable solutions has accelerated the adoption of reclaimed asphalt (RA) recycling techniques, promoting a circular economy and supporting the EU's 2050 Climate Neutrality goals. Ensuring durability and service life is crucial for efficient RA recycling, but the complex components in recycled mixtures pose challenges. Fiber-Reinforced Recycled Asphalt (FRRA) has emerged to address these challenges, yet current research largely focuses on experimental mechanics, leaving fatigue debonding mechanisms insufficiently understood. Factors such as material type, construction conditions, and environmental impacts complicate fatigue behaviour analysis. Bridging the gap in understanding long-term performance is vital for optimizing FRRA materials. The MSCA-GOLFatDue project aims to tackle these challenges through innovative research in four areas: (1) investigating material interaction mechanisms and their impact on fatigue debonding, (2) developing a trans-scale computational model for accurate fatigue life prediction, (3) creating a validated evaluation protocol for optimizing FRRA compositions and structures, and (4) developing new sustainable, durable recycled asphalt materials for industrial applications. The GOLFatDue project enables Dr. Ren to explore the fatigue and durability of FRRA materials by combining fundamental scientific research at three prestigious European universities (University of Antwerp, University of Nottingham, and University of Lyon) with industrial applications. This project will advance European research on green infrastructures and sustainable construction materials, contributing to the Circular Economy Action Plan and paving the way toward a carbon-neutral road industry.
