It is hard to give a broadly acceptable definition of the concept of luxury, which as a field of study has also been largely neglected by historians and sociologists. From a moral or philosophical point of view, luxury is seen as a form of decadence, although from the economic perspective it is seen as a force that drives development of the consumerist economy. Every society knows it in some form, regardless of the degree of economic development, reserving luxury to elite groups, who show their power and pomp through the display of luxury goods. The history of luxury is therefore, from this perspective, a history of power, reflecting the syncretism of cultural and political thought. Luxury and fashion as components of material culture can also be analysed through the lens of cultural history, since they play an important role in the creation of visual culture. This project proposes to analyse the Christian elites of Ottoman-dominated Europe in the Early Modern period from these perspectives, and to look at how they defined their social status and identity at the intersection of East and West. In such an analysis, the Westernisation of South-Eastern Europe proceeds not just through the spread of Enlightenment ideas and the influence of the French Revolution, but also through changes in visual culture brought about by Western influence on notions of luxury and fashion. This approach allows a closer appreciation of the synchronicities and time lags between traditional culture, developments in political thought and social change in the context of the modernisation or “Europeanization” of this part of Europe.

We are surrounded by fabrics, the carpet floors in our homes or offices, the seats in our cars, and obviously all our garments and clothing accessories. There are already examples of smart textiles in garments for monitoring physiological and biomechanical signals. However, the manufacturing schemes for current applications rely mostly on the integration of off-the-shelf electronic components mounted on a textile substrate. Such components are silicon-based, thus unsuitable for applications where flexibility and fault-tolerance are required. The incorporation of current technological items, such as communication or tracking devices on fabrics would certainly be a game-changer in modern technology. This innovative project aims at building electronic devices directly on textile fibres which can be woven into fabrics. Two types of key electronic devices will be targeted, field-effect transistors and loudspeakers. The approach described herein relies in using unconventional materials in electronics: organic and molecular materials, particularly graphene and its derivatives. These materials overcome many limitations of current technology, namely allowing flexibility, elasticity and transparency. This breakthrough will allow the development of completely new approaches for integrated electronics, capable to be embedded into our everyday clothing. Since textiles are so present in society, these devices would transform our clothing into mobile phones, displays with electronic newspapers or GPS-activated maps. Establishing the foundations for this future in wearable electronics is also essential for other societal needs, such as biomedical monitoring, communication tools for sensory impaired people and personal security.

Spectro Inlets is a 7 member young company based in Denmark that has developed a microchip (patented technology) to measure and analyze, in real time, the content of gas molecules dissolved in liquid media. Gas molecules are of utmost importance when generated in electrochemical processes in batteries (chemical degradation resulting in loss of charge capacity or catastrophic failure) and in industrial biochemical processes in biogas production. A deep insight of the chemical reactions allowed by the instrument results in optimization of processes or product design. Spectro Inlets technology consists of a membrane chip that allows direct and ultrafast sampling (in milliseconds) from liquid media by means of a microgeometry. When coupled to a mass spectrometer, it results in a new and high-performance analytical equipment allowing a direct, ultrafast, non-discriminating and extremely accurate (sub ppb) identification and quantification of gasses generated in biogas reactors, in batteries, fuel cells, and wastewater facilities. We have agreements to commission our technology with E.ON, Stanford University and Fredericia Wastewater and gained support from competitors such as Bruker and Hiden Analytical. No other analytical platform features performances that allows for a boost in R&D and production monitoring in three key industrial European markets: (1) in batteries (35M€, 20% CAGR), (2) in biogas (210M€, 15% CAGR), and (3) in waste water treatment (275M€, 3% CAGR). Beyond these three initial target markets, the technology can be further applied in chemical, biochemistry and pharmaceutical industries, that we aim to target. By the end of the forecasted period (2023) and even considering the difficulty to penetrate a market dominated by few (<15) companies, we expect to have a cumulative EBITDA of 7,3M€, which translates into a ROI of 3 after 3 years of commercial activities. Our expansion will also increase (x3) our current employee count with 13 new members by 2023.

The ability toThe ability to readily access small-molecule building blocks at will has important consequences for the discovery and development of novel medicines and materials. It is particularly beneficial when the chemical methods are convenient while at the same time economically and environmentally tenable and sustainable. We are especially interested in catalytic processes that are easily executed and utilize readily available starting materials to produce optically active products with high regio, chemo, diastereo, and enantioselectivity. The proposal aims to discover, develop, and study a collection of enantioselective olefin functionalization reactions that provide access to useful building blocks, such as amines, azides, hydrazines, nitriles, alcohols, involving acyclic, cyclic and bicyclic structures. The catalyst will be derived from earth abundant metals, such as Fe, Mn, and Co and incorporate novel chiral ligands. The study includes the design and preparation of two structural classes of novel, chiral boric acids that are expected to serve as catalyst for the enantioselective functionalization of unsaturated carboxylic acids and boronic acids. The methods are expected to substantially impact the development of novel strategies for complex molecule synthesis. In this regard, we propose to use the catalysts form this study to convert dienes and trienes into polyols with characteristic stereochemical and oxidation patterns found in bioactive agents, including pharma- and nutraceuticals (carnitine). Such advances enable new approaches that go beyond the well-established methods such as aldol/allylation for the preparation of stereochemically complex fragments. Catalysts will also be developed that convert acyclic olefinic alcohols and amines into optically active, saturated furans, pyrans, pyrrolidines, and piperidines. The implementation of the various catalytic methods in complex settings enables efficient, convergent routes to bioactive agents.

Today our food supply is provided by a long and intricate food chain that connects distant agriculture production sites to consumers in urban areas. This food chain characterizes by its complexity, integrating many players and high level of food processing. But in the past few years some trends have emerged seeking for quality products with less processing, relying on more sustainable and ecofriendly production methods. Consumers are also eager to grow their own food, as evidenced by the many urban gardens arising in our neighborhoods. Today there are some Do-it-Yourself solutions, small greenhouses and kits that allow people to grow their own vegetables and cooking herbs at homes. However, these urban gardens and orchards pose key limitations with regards to productivity, time required, need for skills, costs, and logistics (water supply, energy), often relying on chemicals to prevent diseases or promote growth. In response, we at Myfood have developed a smart and miniaturized greenhouse solution for cultivation of vegetables, fruits and fish through a permaculture & aquaponics approach. Our solution is conceived to be sustainable (recycled resources, minimized waste, solar energy) and environmentally friendly (no chemicals used, reduced carbon footprint from food processing and transport). Also, this solution uses smart technology to self-manage, minimizing the input needed from the user and reducing frustration. Having validated the reliability, functioning and market demand for this solution, this project now aims to finalise its technical development and market preparation. To achieve these goals we first need to carry a Feasibility Study that helps us secure this project from a technical, commercial and financial standpoint. Once completed, this project will bring key advantages to society and the environment while boosting the growth of our company. Indeed, we estimate to gain €14 million in profits and reach a ROI of €5 from this project after 5 years.

This pioneering interdisciplinary project identifies a new object of study, Muslim women’s auto/biographical filmmaking, and studies the contextual factors that distinguish it within the field of women’s and feminist cinema. Muslim women academic writers, historians, critics and journalists have been instrumental in establishing a distinctly Muslim feminist identity. Taking on a critical, oppositional stance, they have done this through their literature, life-writings and critiques of Islamic cultural constraints, Sharia laws and religious and cultural discrimination against women in their respective Muslim societies. They have questioned their own political, social and gender histories to redefine the sources of their particular oppressions and formulate strategies for emancipation and equal rights. Additionally, they have turned to the film medium to extend their feminist intent and representations from their particular socio-historical and contextual perspectives. However, research on Muslim women’s contribution to feminist auto/biographical cinema remains a gaping lacuna in film studies. This project aims to fill this gap. Its objectives are: a) To create a corpus by identifying and categorizing the different modes of autobiographical films produced by Muslim women filmmakers from the Islamic world from the 1980s to date. This implies a broad regional focus and extensive work of data mining and organization of women’s auto/biographical cinemas according to geographical, cultural, and filmic criteria. b) To develop a contextual scholarly study on works of representative directors to examine Muslim women’s auto/biographical contribution to feminist cinema in the context of their political, personal, historical, social, and institutional conditions. This implies specific regional focus and a film analysis work to inform a scholarly examination of the commonalities and differences that characterize the films of the studied countries.

The discovery of functional heterogeneity in normal and malignant stem cells has shifted our understanding of how single cells are subverted to drive cancer. To design therapies for diseases of stem cell origin and to better provide cell populations for clinical applications, it is critical to understand this diversity at the single cell level. This proposal focuses on understanding the complex biology of normal and malignant stem cells and the impact of individual mutations on clonal evolution by studying the physical and quantitative aspects of single blood stem cells. This proposal aims to study single blood stem cell biomechanics and clonal evolution by leveraging new inter-disciplinary technologies and approaches and applying them to functionally defined mouse and human blood stem cell populations. It will combine in vitro and in vivo biological assays with mathematical modelling and microfluidic technology in an iterative manner across both human and mouse stem cell populations.
