One-third of adolescents (12-18) experience emotional problems, such as anxiety and depression. This leads to enormous personal impact which often continues a lifetime. Support from parents is a protective factor that can increase the well-being of adolescents and reduce depression and anxiety. However, defying this currently held view, concerns are growing that support backfires in some families. THE PARENTAL SUPPORT PARADOX. No matter how well-intended and well-received in the short run, over-supportive parenting can undermine opportunities for personal growth. This weakens long-term well-being. Who support backfires for and what the mechanisms are is unknown, because psychologists have lacked the data and analytical tools to study how parenting predicts well-being in individual family units. DEVELOPING FAMILY-SPECIFIC METHODS. To theorize the short-term and long-term effects of parenting, my team and I will conduct one of the largest and most intensive studies of parental support and well-being. 300 Dutch families with a child, aged 12 to 16, will complete smartphone-based micro-surveys to capture parent-child interactions in daily life. Families are followed for three years, with seven follow-up surveys. As ultimate proof of theorized family-specific dynamics, we will test in an experiment (2 x n=100) if feedback on their real-life data strengthens parenting and improves child well-being. IMPACT. Now that we can study each family’s unique daily dynamics, PARADOx will generate an entirely new family-specific theoretical model of parental support, explaining for whom and through which mechanisms support backfires. We will also target these dynamics with prevention, to transform support from a potential cause of emotional problems to a protective factor. The project will develop new concepts for personalized parenting advice for this purpose. Moreover we will deliver a toolbox of methods to study family-specific dynamics, which is disseminated across d

Hydrogen is an important factor in the EU quest to drastically reduce GHG emissions and curb its use of fossil fuels. The storage and transport of hydrogen, however, faces important challenges which hinder its broad application as an alternative and zero emission fuel. Storage of hydrogen as a gas typically requires high-pressure tanks (up to 700 bar tank pressure); storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires cryogenic temperatures because the boiling point of hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure is -253C. Therefore, for several applications, ammonia rises as a rather prominent vector if it can be produced efficiently. The production is traditionally bound by the constraints of thermodynamics, which require high synthesis pressures, as well as temperatures. Thus, NH3 is produced centralised/large-scaled. HySTrAm builds on developing physical H2 storage materials, enabling short term storage (buffering renewables dynamics), as well as the 3 structural corner stones of flexible low pressure NH3: decreased Ru content catalysts, high temperature NH3 sorbents and induction-heated support granting (optimal) responsiveness. The project will demonstrate a compact containerised ammonia synthesis system which is based on two main consecutive stages:1) A short-term storage hydrogen vessel which will serve as a buffer to store and transport the hydrogen produced by electrolysis. Within the hydrogen vessel, new ultraporous material will be identified and optimised through machine learning technology 2) An ammonia synthesis reactor based on an improved the Haber-Bosch process where the stored hydrogen will react with nitrogen to form ammonia using the novel catalysts and sorbents developed in HySTrAm.

SENSE aims at developing an innovative fibre-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) architecture completely compatible with contemporary telecom infrastructure worldwide. Our planet is interlaced with a vast network of optical fibres, forming the backbone of modern telecommunications. Leveraging that massive infrastructure as a global sensing network may be truly transformational, leading to unprecedented means for advanced link surveillance, geophysical and climate exploration and public safety enhancement with minimal investment. While the potential of DAS is breathtaking due to its high sensitivity, excellent localization capabilities and linearity, the compatibility between data transmission and distributed sensing remains a fundamental, unsolved problem. Current approaches for increasing the limited range of DAS (~100 km) induce crosstalk on data channels, while the need for ultra-narrow linewidth lasers critically elevates their cost, preventing their massive deployment. I plan to solve this compatibility challenge by incorporating a disruptive signal processing methodology derived from the Fourier optics discipline in DAS systems. This methodology involves a passive amplification arrangement with denoising capabilities based on temporal Talbot array illuminators (T-TAI). T-TAI processing will allow reduce additive and phase noise in 30 dB, with unparalleled impact on operation range and relaxation of laser linewidth requirements. In long-haul links, a smart WDM architecture and specific T-TAI-based optical repeaters will be designed, ensuring the co-existence of DAS and data traffic on the same fibre along transoceanic links (>1000 of km) with minimal infrastructure modifications. In short-haul links, the cost of DAS interrogators will be reduced by a factor of 100, in line with the cost of current transceivers. The new DAS architecture will enable a live global sensing network with outstanding impact on economy, climate and wellbeing of society.

Despite their tender age, blockchain technologies are bringing a profound impact on the society and economy. The swift technological advancements in this domain, however, are not always accompanied by solid scientific foundations, which often follow and try to catch up a posteriori with the proposed engineering solutions. The most prominent examples are smart contracts: the total value locked in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) nears 50B USD and, yet, vulnerabilities leading to dramatic financial loss regularly plague virtually all smart contract platforms. The fundamental issue is that security properties for DeFi applications are yet not well understood and existing verification techniques support basic reachability properties for individual smart contracts, falling short of capturing the game-theoretic and cross-layer security requirements of the DeFi ecosystem (miner bribery, miner extractable value, etc.). BlockSec will develop the first framework to enforce game-theoretic security in DeFi applications. To achieve this goal, we advocate a holistic approach based on formal methods, embracing verification, synthesis, and consensus techniques, and we establish an interdisciplinary research program with groundbreaking results at the intersection among cryptography, semantics, verification, and game theory. On a high-level, we plan to formalize the game-theoretic security properties of DeFi applications, develop synthesis and verification methods for smart contracts, including the first type system for game theoretic security, devise compositionality theorems whose assumptions will be captured in the smart contract typed interfaces, and finally complement the static type system with a proof-carrying code architecture in which security types are checked at run-time by miners, thereby going beyond what can be enforced at compilation time and enabling the secure composition and refinement of smart contracts.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Chronic treatments of CVDs are scarce because of poor predictivity of current two-dimensional (2D) pre-clinical models. State-of-the-art 3D-tissue models based on human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be more predictive of human genetics but fail to replicate the 3D cardiac muscle structure. In fact, the heart evolved to ensure efficient emptying of the chambers via a 3D chiral organization of muscle tissue not yet recapitulated in organoids or engineered ventricles. In CARdiac tissue Design, beating INduction, and Assessment using multiwavelength Light (CARDINAL), I will replicate the native chiral architecture of the heart in a minimal 3D model of the heart muscle and validate the resulting assay for drug screening. Our objectives will tackle three main challenges in the field: 1) Create the chiral scaffold to host the hiPSC-derived cardiac muscle cells (hiPSC-CMs). I will use cavitation molding - a light-based 3D-structuring method I previously developed - to obtain chirally organized micro-channels in soft hydrogels. 2) Populate these scaffolds with high-purity hiPSC-CMs that can be triggered and assayed with optical methods. I will leverage the host lab's engineered hiPSC line that features structural and functional fluorescent sensors. To that line, we will add optogenetic actuators and antibiotic resistance to directly control the final hiPSC-CM yield, trigger contraction, and image cell structure and function volumetrically. 3) Validate the predictivity of our new 3D chiral platform in drug screening applications. To do that, we will test a panel of cardiac drugs with known safety/efficacy profiles with our new platform, 2D hydrogels, and traditional glass slides. The CARDINAL project will provide the drug screening field with a more biomimetic tissue-engineered model of the heart muscle that can be extended to vascularized models and the full organ, eventually.

Agroforestery (AF) has already proven its potential for farm sustainability, climate change mitigation & adaptation, biodiversity preservation, and soil conservation. However, AF performances are context-dependent, and many barriers hinder its adoption, such as lack of tools for decision-making, assessing economic, environmental, social benefits, and monitoring of policies and their impact on AF. DigitAF will boost AF implementation in the EU and beyond thanks to the co-development of digital tools tailored to the needs and concerns of DigitAF target groups. To engage actors whose decisions impact AF implementation,DigitAF will: (1) Support policy-actors at various scales to design more efficient policies supporting AF adoption & carbon farming; (2) Provide tools helping practitioners (farmers…) deal with the complexity of AF systems. DigitAF will allow them to optimize the design and management of agroforestry systems at field and farm scale; (3) Enhance capacities of actors to assess, quantify and market the economic, environmental and social performance and benefits of AF. The end-user centred multi-actor approach of DigitAF will be made possible by implementing 6 living labs (LL) in Italy, Germany, Netherland, United Kingdom, Finland and the Czech Republic. Open-source tools will be co-developed thanks to the existing or novel practical knowledge, scientific evidence and models. They will be tested with the end-users from LL and improved thanks to their feedback. Larger dissemination to target groups will be ensured through DigitAF partners gathering members and networks across EU. DigitAF consortium brings together 25 partners from 20 countries from the EU, Associated Countries and beyond, composed of RTOs (9), universities (5), SMEs (6), European and international organisations (4), NGO and cooperative (1). DigitAF consortium and the LL cover all AF value chain actors, thus efficiently supporting AF implementation in the EU.

The digital transformation of the energy system brings numerous benefits, such as improved connectivity of the energy components, direct market access for end-users, and seamless integration of renewable energy sources. However, realizing these benefits requires addressing challenges such as ensuring end-users' adoption of digital technologies, addressing societal acceptance issues, engaging communities effectively, and ensuring decentralization and data sovereignty . Additionally, an integrated framework allowing effective data integration across the energy value chain also including data from other sectors is required. To address these challenges, CELINE introduces an innovative framework aimed at promoting the widespread adoption of digital technologies within the energy sector, fostering seamless interaction and collaboration among energy stakeholders. It focuses on facilitating the adoption of localized community-based and digital-driven energy innovations, which are user-centric, community-based, and tailored to address the needs of specific geographical areas or communities. CELINE will conceptualize, co-design, develop, and demonstrate an open-source cross-sector data-driven Digital Ecosystem and Toolbox, comprising a Digital Twin of community energy systems and AI Assistant Tools, enabling the creation of tailored cross-sector data-driven services aimed to: 1) Support community-led self-consumption and production schemes; 2) Enhance end-users' capabilities in managing energy resources, optimizing energy usage, and making well-informed energy-related decisions; 3) Empower end-users by improving their digital and energy literacy, enhancing user experience, and overcoming potential resistance and barriers.

The European Union (EU) and its members have long been key supporters of global governance. Yet the rules-based international order and multilateralism are widely believed to be in crisis. The emerging powers and populist forces have contested and put demands on global governance often resulting in a gridlock of international cooperation. The Russian war in Ukraine will likely further undermine the ability to address global problems. ENSURED, a project with 14 partners from the EU, US and the BRICS, studies how the EU and its members, in a contested world in transition, can transform and defend global governance to make it more robust, effective and democratic. Integrating different literatures on international institutions and EU foreign policy, ENSURED develops a conceptual framework on global governance transformation. It outlines a triangular dilemma in which the EU and its members must make choices between the robustness, effectiveness and democracy of global governance. It also considers, in this respect, different scenarios for multilateralism in a contested world in transition. Through case studies of five policy areas, a quantitative analysis and expert survey, ENSURED empirically assesses and compares the unexploited potential for global governance transformation. It thus highlights areas where global governance transformation is most likely. Based on this empirical analysis, ENSURED provides support for the EU and its members to lead the transformation and defence of multilateralism. It outlines strategic choices and develops decision support and communication products that the EU and its members can use, such as an online toolkit, policy recommendations and strategic narratives. ENSURED thus advances our knowledge about global governance transformation and provides the EU and its members with the tools to navigate a world in transition.
