Our project focuses on the regulatory properties of a subset of microbiota-specific TR1-like regulatory T (Treg) cells, for which we have already shown an unprecedented association with the clinical outcome of patients in various inflammatory diseases, for a therapeutic use in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). IBD is a disabling chronic inflammatory process that affects young individuals and causes many life-altering symptoms, and represents a risk factor for colon cancer. Existing treatments are complex, with most people requiring lifelong medications as well as dietary and lifestyle modifications, and some requiring surgery. In this context, the development of new therapeutic approaches appears essential and immunotherapy and cell-based therapy are particularly promising strategies for this disease. Teams from Nantes have a strong expertise in the field of human immunology, mucosal immunology and immunotherapeutic strategies applied to various pathological conditions, including gut inflammatory diseases. They recently identified a novel microbiota-induced Treg subset, associated with good prognosis in IBD patients, thus representing a promising candidate for innovative immunotherapeutic approaches. Based on the limitation to develop immunotherapy approach for human diseases by using animal models due to immune system specificities/differences and ethical considerations, we opted for the development of an ex vivo human preclinical model that will reconstitute the physiological complexity of the human gut. Teams from Strasbourg have a strong experience and already set-up models of organoids in different pathological systems, that will perfectly fit to be used as ex vivo preclinical models for this project. This proposal aims thus at providing a pre-clinical package including i) the proof of concept that a cellular immunotherapy using the identified Tregs subset represents a treatment for IBDs and ii) the reglementary pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo toxicity.

In its 30-month duration, OSAwards.eu will establish a European Public Recognition Scheme for Open Source (OS) Software (SW) and Hardware (HW). This system for European Awards will foster interest in contributions, and promote greater integration, utilisation and exploitation of OS SW and HW assets in Europe. It will do this by: • Celebrating Excellence: The European OS Awards, designed with guidance from an expert European OS Academy, will annually recognise outstanding contributions from individuals and projects throughout Europe. • Amplifying Impact: The strategically timed EU OS Week, coinciding with major European events like FOSDEM, will elevate the awards' profile and foster extensive community engagement. • Building European Expertise: The European OS Academy, composed of leading figures in OS, will work with the European Commission (EC) and OSAawards.eu to nominate and select awardees, ensuring the legitimacy and prestige of the awards while inspiring future generations. The Academy will also be built as an institution that implements and drives OSAwards.eu’s Strategy for skills development OSAwards.eu brings a strong sustainability component into its approach. By leveraging existing communities and initiatives, we ensure the awards, week, and academy endure beyond the project's lifespan. This award system’s focus on public recognition and institution-building creates a lasting impact that serves as a world-renowned annual event highlighting Europe's OS achievements. By intertwining recognition (Awards), legitimacy and skills (Academy and Skills Strategy), and community engagement (Week), we cultivate a comprehensive strategy that celebrates excellence, fuels innovation, and guarantees the continued advancement of OS technologies in Europe, across society and industrial verticals. By extension OSAwards.eu is a project aimed at advancing the EU’s competitiveness and open strategic autonomy.

The Novel and the Refugee: Contemporary Global Fiction and the Imaginary of Border Regimes (NARFIB) will investigate an emerging trend in contemporary fiction which engages with the global escalation of harsh border regimes since 9/11 that have sanctioned the state’s capacity for extraordinary measures against ‘outsiders’ to protect ‘insiders’. The rise of what I identify as the ‘global border novel’ coincides with the acute mass displacement around the globe, with an unprecedented one hundred million refugees as of May 2022, exceeding the previous year’s statistics by an alarming 10 million (Siegfried, UNHCR). NARFIB conceives of the border novel as a cultural product that mediates and is mediated by the contemporary border imaginary. The border novel iterates fictional spaces in which characters live out the affective and material impacts of the border’s disciplinary power. For these characters—on both ends of the spectrum of citizenship, whether refugees or ‘core’ citizens of Global North—the border signals the psychic and material exposure to the internal contradictions and limitations of liberal democracies in the face of their precarious futures, while the figure of the refugee points to precisely where a greater number of citizens will end up, that is, a victim of the border. NARFIB dwells in this problem by assuming an interlinked relationship between refugee fiction, the recent escalations of border control, and the ways that the border imaginary renders the political panic about unsettling the residual myth of the mono-cultural state.NARFIB will develop a transdisciplinary methodology by synthesizing the latest research in border studies, literary studies, surveillance studies and political psychology. NARFIB will be conducted in the Department of Literature, Area Studies, and European Languages (ILOS) at the University of Oslo (UiO), and in collaboration with the supervisor of the project, Professor Johan Schimanski.

Researchers worldwide are struggling nowadays to solve some of the critical issues which pose a threat to our future life on Earth. While everyone heard about the climate change, smart cities, freshwater and ocean pollution, soil degradation which conduct to poor quality of food, or cancer, but most of the time only with respect to disasters or an uncertain future, the researchers are actively involved into identifying practical solutions for all these threats, developing devices and systems to monitor, control and diminish their effect, and to cure people and Earth. These missions will have the chance of becoming effective only by ReCoNnect-ing the researchers to the society, by developing a mutual respect and understanding one needs a will to listen, to be open to the new and to explore. As such, we propose the adoption of a special life strategy, that of continuous and active learning, in which all those involved, scientists, communicators or the general public, are active learners interacting with each other. The consortium is made up from 5 research institutes, the largest and most prestigious in the country, 4 universities, with high scientific expertise but also including journalism faculties and one public scientific body, that have been participating in previous research outreach events and coordinate some of the largest STEM educational networks (teachers and pupils) derived from the European programmes. By organization of 20 NIGHT events yearly, also in rural areas, and a strong involvement of researchers at school along the 2 years project implementation, we are confident in the strengthening of the science communication and educational programs already developed, increasing, meanwhile, the number of researchers involved in outreach activities. These allow us to look to the future with new hopes of an active and cultured society towards solving the humanity issues through science and awareness.

Laser-based technologies for creating structures in the range from nanometer up to millimeter size find many applications such as free form optics, photonics, multifunctional surfaces, lab-on-chip, etc. with a global market volume of > 200 billion euros. The original structures know as masters are the first step in the making of tools for key-enabling technologies like injection molding or nanoimprinting. Some of the current limitations in the laser lithography processes are the limited depth of the structures, small area and low speed at process level, high-power consumption in the laser interference lithography, and multiple and expensive processes required for the development of hierarchical multifunctional structures at industrial level. The OPTIMAL project will integrate for the first-time different laser lithography technologies, quality monitoring systems and processes in one platform for the development of structures with (i) high depth (150 micrometer), ii) dimensions in the range from 100 nm to sub-mm in XYZ, iii) 2D&3D shape on flat surface, (iv) combining parallel & serial patterning, (v) no need for external treatments on samples; vi) increased speed (1 cm2/min) and large area (up to 2000 cm2), vii) > 40% of reduction in the consumption of resources for the whole manufacturing process. The OPTIMAL project uses self-learning algorithms to optimize the virtual photomask as well as integrates methods for an inline control of the laser patterning. By accelerating and upscaling the structuring process, the OPTIMAL project will increase the process efficiency and yield, which will reduce the energy consumption, avoid material waste, decrease costs, and lead time in many applications. The platform will potentiate the possibilities in the sustainable making of high quality, versatile, less costly masters for industrial manufacturing, as demonstrated in 4 use cases (optical lenses, multifunctional riblet structures, virtual reality lens, microfluidic chips).

Certified computer systems are becoming the key in the increasingly complex decision making activities of our modern society. Among others, provably correct/secure solutions within Artificial Intelligence (AI), Autonomous Systems, Big Data, Blockchain, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Cloud Computing, or Machine Learning (ML) are indispensable in the ongoing digitalization of our society. While the explosion in applications of computer systems leads to great increases in productivity, wealth, and convenience, it creates a paradoxical situation: we rely on computer systems despite that uncountable many application scenarios showcase that computer systems are not (properly) certified and hence are error-prone. Unfortunately, a single software error can quickly escalate into a big issue with huge economic damage. Software errors could be though prevented by rigorous code reviews in the software logic. However, who can tell software developers which logical formalism should be used? Moreover, which certification mechanism is best to be used during code review, for ensuring system safety and security? LEARN answers these questions by automating reasoning about software and discovering proof strategies for software certification. Doing so, LEARN introduces a web-based framework for learning and predicting logic models of software properties. LEARN also discovers collections of proof strategies without relying on server back-end, by automating inductive reasoning over commonly used software data structures. LEARN eliminates massive costs arising from correcting defective software releases, by proving an easy to deploy certification platform for developers and organizations.

The long-term vision of the IMProGlyco consortium is to be able to precisely manipulate the glycans (carbohydrates) on cells and recombinant proteins that will enable the discovery and production of the next generation of therapies for cancer, neurodegeneration and other disease families. The glycans that are present on most proteins and cells have a substantial impact on their biological functions, yet the untemplated nature of their synthesis leads to inherent heterogeneity in both their structure and activity. This heterogeneity is very difficult to control, making it impossible to generate defined glycan ensembles with optimal activity using current technology. We are developing a radical new approach to the controlled manipulation of glycans that will be the functional equivalent of site-directed mutagenesis for manipulating proteins. A critical feature of the technology development pathway is the use of state-of-the-art analytical methods to robustly define the glycan profile of cells before and after treatment. In this application, we are seeking to add an additional partner with additional capabilities in this area. The new partner provides access to critical additional capacity in glycopeptide analysis with which it will be possible to fully identify target-specific changes in glycan patterns with a temporal resolution not limited by the timescale of protein recycling in the target cells. This additional capacity and experimental expertise will both support the ongoing project and enable a much fuller characterisation of the IMProGlyco system's properties which will be critical to the next steps of development to higher technology readiness levels beyond the proof-of-concept experiments within the current IMProGlyco project.

Seeking offshore green energy sources with the lowest possible cost and carbon footprint, while avoiding any additional oceanic waste, is currently a major challenge. Scientists have been warning about the increase in the number of decommissioned platforms and their potential negative impact on the environment. On the other hand, the transition from fossil to green energy has become a necessity if we are to reduce the consequences of climate change. This means that more petroleum platforms will be decommissioned in the near future. DeP2WIND is an innovative project that deals with these important problems by proposing a mapping framework for the reuse of decommissioned platforms as support structures for wind turbines. The project will address the safety and maintenance of these steel structures and how to save on the excessive installation costs of wind turbines. The project will take a novel interdisciplinary and mixed reliability, optimisation and data-driven approach. Based on an assessment of the state of the decommissioned platforms as regards corrosion and fatigue, the optimum maintenance and repair actions and a suitable design for wind turbines, different outcomes will be investigated using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The fellow will benefit from the expertise of the Structural Engineering Research Group at the Department of Civil Engineering and Energy Technology at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. Building on the fellow’s previous work and skills in both structural engineering, machine learning-based modelling and reliability research, the project activities will further develop the fellow’s professional and academic maturity. Furthermore, the results will have a key impact on the advancement of multiple academic disciplines, contribute to the EU’s green deal and UN policies, and help to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, by providing affordable and clean energy and improving the quality of marine life.
