CRISPOL analyzes the systemic impact of crises on democratic policy-making. The fact that crises have turned into ordinary rather than exceptional phenomena in modern democracies may not only erode trust in government. Crises also spawn additional crises. Because crisis responses absorb governmental attention, problems in policy areas not affected by crises might be neglected. This can in turn lead to the escalation of neglected issues into full-blown crises, thus increasing the burden on governments to manage an ever-growing number of crises. Crises might thus trigger a vicious cycle that un-dermines democratic legitimacy. It is the central objective of CRISPOL to study systemic trade-offs in policy change across sectors re-sulting from crisis events both theoretically and empirically. (1) CRISPOL maps crises across policy areas, countries and over time. It provides an encompassing long-term mapping of crisis events across different policy sectors and countries. The project captures all crisis events across six policy areas for 23 OECD countries over a period of 50 years. (2) CRISPOL analyzes cross-sectoral trade-offs in crisis-induced dynamics of policy change. Can we observe crowding-out effects, with radical departures of the status quo in ‘crisis-proximate’ areas com-ing at the expense of policy inertia in more ‘crisis-remote’ ones? (3) CRISPOL analyzes cross-temporal trade-offs in change dynamics: Are neglected policy sectors catching up when the crisis is over; i.e., is policy inertia during crisis times offset by more dynamic change in post-crisis-periods? Or do crises have enduring consequences for change dynamics in crisis-remote sectors? (4) CRISPOL investigates whether cross-sectoral and cross-temporal trade-offs vary across countries. Do certain countries possess a greater capacity to handle crises while simultaneously addressing other policy areas, and which factors contribute to this ability?

Enumerative geometry is the field of algebraic geometry dealing with counting geometric objects satisfying constraints. For instance, in Ancient Greece, Apollonius asked how many circles are tangent to three given circles in the plane. It is a very active area due to unexpected connections with other fields of mathematics and physics. So far, modern enumerative geometry is largely about counting curves. Recently I worked on foundations for a theory for counting surfaces in 4-dimensional spaces. This is the starting point of this proposal, which is about discovering new properties of 4-dimensional spaces using surface counting. Project A explores surface counting in Calabi-Yau, hyper-Kähler, and Abelian fourfolds in a series of concrete settings. The impact is this: when the count is non-zero for some (2,2) class γ on X, then it implies the variational Hodge conjecture for (X,γ). The Hodge conjecture is one of the millennium prize problems and the first open case is for (2,2) classes on 4-dimensional spaces. Project B investigates 4-dimensional singularities. It is about discovering a connection between the geometry and algebra hidden in the singularity called "crepant resolution conjecture". The impact is this: for 3-dimensional singularities the crepant resolution conjecture does not work when surfaces get contracted. By embedding 3-dimensional singularities in 4 dimensions, I expect to solve this open case. Project C shifts from counting surfaces in 4-dimensional space to counting representations of 4-dimensional non-commutative rings. The same move for 3-dimensional rings opened up an entire field, and this project will do the same for 4-dimensional rings. Interesting examples include Sklyanin algebras, non-commutative resolutions of 4D Gorenstein singularities, and quantum Fermat sextic fourfolds. The common denominator of these projects is that they involve 4D phenomena that could previously not be explored and are made accessible by this proposal.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by sporadic debilitating seizures and declines in mental health. Available therapies suffer from drawbacks and are not suitable for all patients. The medical needs in epilepsy encapsulate those for clinically managing brain health in general, i.e., the need for precision, personalized, non-systemic and safer therapies. Potential innovative solutions are available from advances in technology but will require multidisciplinary teams which bridge between engineering and clinical neurology. The main objective of the EMUNITI project is to develop a breakthrough, non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation device for epilepsy patients, (i) as a diagnostic for seizure localization which can guide subsequent surgical resection; and (ii) as a therapy, akin to immunizing the patient against seizures. The device is based on temporal interference (TI) of electrical signals delivered from positions around the scalp. The project will be led by Adam Williamson, who is a former recipient of ERC Starting and Proof-of-Concept grants and has IP for the technology. His lab is at the interface between state-of-the art engineering and neurology, and is based in a major European centre for clinical research on epilepsy in Marseille, France. His lab has already demonstrated in a pilot study of epilepsy patients, that TI can block seizure-provoking brain activity. The project includes three work packages (WPs). WP1 focuses on optimizing TI stimulation at the engineering level and establishing a novel form of TI in multipolar TI (mTI). WP2 will evaluate mTI in epilepsy patients, for seizure localization and for therapeutic intervention with the potential to create brain seizure immunity through repeated mTI. WP3 administers the project and delivers the main outcome: a clinical prototype with closed-loop stimulation combining mTI and intelligent software. The successful outcome is anticipated to lead to other applications for TI in brain health.

Severe weather events, storms and turbulences, are on the rise. This has a massive impact on air traffic, increasing the need for fuel-consuming detours, higher maintenance costs due to increased wear and tear caused by turbulence, a greater number of injuries in flight and increased workload for pilots and therefore higher risk of accidents. One technology is particularly affected by Turbulence: the emerging, environmentally friendly, electrically powered Advanced Air Mobility, which is intended to offer local air transport solutions close to particularly turbulent airspace, namely the so-called Urban Canyons. These relatively light aircraft are particularly affected by turbulence. To ensure economically successful operations, regular use by passengers is required. This will only be achievable if passengers get full trust in this innovative air-mobility solution. Consequently, Turbulence Cancelling is a key enabling technology for Advanced Air Mobility. Turbulence Cancelling is a break-through technology that reduces the adverse effects of in-flight turbulence by more than 80%. It mimics birds' natural turbulence mitigation, enabling aircraft to deliver smoother, more stable flights. As manned test flights have already proven, this has positive effects on comfort, safety, economy, planning security, maintenance and performance. The EIC Accelerator provides important funding for market entry and innovation development in highly complex and regulated markets that cannot be reached otherwise. Our request for 1.7M € grant-only enables us to become the world-leading company for Turbulence Cancelling, making the whole aviation industry turbulence-free and not be limited to only smaller bridgehead markets. Without EIC support, our groundbreaking and patented European Turbulence Cancelling technology, would not have the means to penetrate these industries, missing out on significant worldwide economic opportunities and advancements in aviation safety and efficiency.

The energy sector is the most polluting industry in the world, accounting for more than ¾ of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Thus, the net zero target is unachievable without major transformations in the global energy sector, drastically increasing the share of renewables in the total energy mix, including wind energy. Kitemill is a global leading airborne wind energy (AWE) technology developer founded in 2008, based in Norway. Currently, we are developing our first commercial system, KM2 100 kW, an emerging renewable energy technology. KM2 consists of a kite connected with a tether to a ground station. The system offers the following advantages, compared to conventional wind: i) significantly lower CAPEX and OPEX; ii) 90% less raw materials and 90% less Critical Raw Materials used; iii) 50% lower LCOE, iv) more stable output; v) simplified installation and maintenance process; vi) most cost-efficient energy production technology over a large part of the global land area; vii) reduced CO2 footprint; viii) enable a wider range of areas suitable for wind energy; ix) greater social acceptance, hence easier to secure permits. By advancing AWE technology, Kitemill aims to reduce CO2 emissions, enhance energy security, and promote sustainable green industrialization in the EU and globally. This EIC project will directly contribute to implementing the European Green Deal and is aligned with the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA). KM technology promises substantial societal, economic, environmental, and climate benefits, as it aims to deliver clean and affordable energy, especially in rapidly growing economies. addresses urgent global challenges, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). EIC funding will de-risk the KM2 system as it will allow us to complete the riskiest development steps and demonstrate the system’s performance in an operational environment, unlocking additional private capital and boosting customer and public trust.

SIPOCAG aims to understand and classify singularities occurring in positive-characteristic from two points of view: First, to understand the indecomposable summands arising via the Frobenius morphism of a ring or a variety, and second, to understand the relation between the theory of arc/jet schemes and the "standard" singularities of positive-characteristic commutative algebra. Towards the first objective, given a ring R in characteristic p, one obtains a new module by restricting scalars along the Frobenius self-map on R. The properties of resulting module reflect the singularities of R; for example, Kunz showed that this module is flat if and only if R is regular. I seek to understand what the indecomposable summands of this module tell us about R, especially as one restricts scalars along higher iterates of the Frobenius. In particular, SIPOCAG focuses on the question of how many different isomorphism classes of indecomposables show up in this process: I propose to understand when this number is finite, and what the types and nature of the summands tell us about the ring R. Towards the second objective, the arc scheme of a variety X and its truncation, the jet schemes, are moduli spaces of infinitesimal curves on X, and have proved useful in studying singularities in birational geometry. However, the relation between the arc/jet schemes and the usual notions of singularities in commutative algebra, such as F-purity, remains unknown. SIPOCAG will characterize such classes of singularities via the study of their arc/jet schemes, and leverage these connections to better understand the behavior of these singularities. Finally, I propose to develop useful new computational tools for working with concrete examples of the preceding two phenomena, which will be useful not only for SIPOCAG but also to many other researchers. These goals will be approached by combining my existing geometric approach to these topics with the algebraic expertise of the host.

NextENERGEIA plans to develop and test a proof-of-concept prototype of an analytical tool for simulating the social and private impact on power markets of low-carbon investments (renewable energies, energy storage, electric vehicles, and hydrogen production). The tool would shed light on issues central to the energy transition’s success, making it precious for regulators, policymakers, energy-intensive consumers, and energy firms. In particular, the tool would be instrumental in informing the current policy debate on the electricity market reform. The tool would build on state-of-the-art game-theoretical models developed by the PI through her ERC Consolidator Grant ELECTRIC CHALLENGES, providing the basis to simulate firms’ competitive and strategic behavior in electricity markets with large shares of renewable energies and energy storage. Those models also serve to assess the low-carbon investments’ impact on several metrics reflecting electricity market outcomes (prices, market shares, emissions, etc.) and firms’ financial profitability (pay-back period, NPV, IRR, etc.) The algorithm would be programmed in Python, and an internet-based interface would be developed for ease of use. Data from the Spanish electricity market would be used to test the tool, which would be further extended to other European power markets. Relevant stakeholders in the sector have already shown their support and willingness to participate in the training and testing stages. The team comprises the PI (Natalia Fabra), postdocs at EnergyEcoLab (the research lab she created under her ERC grant), and software programmers who would carry out the programming activities. The team combines a deep knowledge of the power sector and the energy transition policies, a deep understanding of the relevant economic questions, and a deep command of the methods for modeling and quantifying the performance of electricity markets.
