Venus is similar to Earth in terms of density, size and composition. Yet both bodies evolved so dramatically different that Venus now has an uninhabitable, run-away greenhouse atmosphere in contrast to Earth ́s favourable habitable conditions. Despite alarming parallels with CO2-driven global warming on Earth, the origin and evolution of Venus ́ run-away greenhouse atmosphere remains poorly understood. Problematically, current models fail to incorporate the important effects of volcanic degassing and atmosphere-surface interaction throughout Venus ́ history. Due to Venus’ CO2-rich atmosphere, surface pressures are 90 times greater than on Earth. Volcanoes on Venus will degas under very different conditions, yielding different volcanic gas compositions and gas fluxes to the atmosphere. Constraints on volatility and the contribution of magmatic volatiles to the composition of Venus ́ atmosphere are pivotal for understanding the extent and timing of volcanic activity on Venus, especially in light of upcoming Venus exploration missions. Interaction between Venus’ atmosphere, volcanic gasses and surface likely plays a key role in determining volatile fluxes but is poorly understood at conditions relevant for Venus’ surface. The critical lack of such challenging experiments precludes a detailed assessment of the Venusian volatile cycle and atmospheric evolution. I will quantify the past and current interior-to-atmosphere volatile element flux on Venus. In a highly multi-disciplinary approach I will perform 1) pioneering, high P-T experiments mimicking magma degassing on Venus and atmosphere-gas-rock interactions, 2) using state-of-the-art (in situ) analyses of gas speciation and reaction rates and 3) integrate these results in numerical models to obtain quantitative volatile fluxes for Venus. This work allows for rigorous re-assessment of Venus’ interior and atmospheric evolution and will provide a solid framework for future exploration of Venus.

I am applying for a 24-month postdoctoral fellowship with the Insituto Universitário de Lisboa (Iscte). During my fellowship, I will utilize new and existing data to argue that the phenomenon known as global health should be conceived of as an additional domain for the private accumulation of capital through speculation. By addressing global health as a site for speculation, I intend to make evident that what appear as colonial ideological remnants in contemporary local public health practice are in effect necessary tools for the re-inscription of categories of colonial difference. These tools, in turn, facilitate processes of exploitation and alienation that allow for the extraction of value. I further intend to argue that regimes of speculation in global health serve as the foundation for the coloniality of local public health practices. To construct my argument, I will compare data collected over the course of 28 months of mixed methods ethnographic research in Honduras with new data that I will collect, in the same research locales, over the course of 6 non-consecutive months of research. The extended and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, presents an opportunity to compare previous base-line data with new information. The data for this project will be collected in two neighboring cities that comprise the Central District of Honduras, Central America (Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela). The data will address the experiences and perceptions of low-income urban populations with public health and private health services, their perceptions of health-disease processes, and their perceptions of and experiences with governmental agents and institutions. Overall, I will produce academic articles, participate in professional conferences, write critical popular media pieces, conduct workshops with public health professionals, prepare a proposal for a book manuscript, write academic syllabi, and design a multi-year project proposal with a Honduran community-based organization.

The European Commission’s Mission for “100 Climate-neutral and Smart Cities by 2030” (“the Cities Mission”) seeks to accelerate Europe’s climate action commitments as part of the European Green Deal, whose ambition is to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The Cities Mission’s central tenet is to elevate and deepen the commitment to pursue systemic change through research and innovation, setting an ambition for cities of unprecedented scope and scale. In order to achieve such effects, a demand-driven Mission Platform has been established to provide tailored assistance and services to participating cities and those learning from them. As a part of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme, Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future: Green Deal call, the “LC-GD- 1-2-2020: Towards Climate-Neutral and Socially Innovative Cities” topic selected the four-year project NetZeroCities to establish the Mission Platform, which began work at the same time as the formal establishment of the Cities Mission, in October 2021. The scope of work presented herein will comprise the second Specific Grant Agreement (SGA2-NZC) development under the Framework Partnership Agreement FPA-NZC for the Mission Platform to scale and continue operations through 2027. Activities primarily focus on two objectives: the first to reinforce the support received by cities selected to participate in the Mission on financing their roadmap of activities towards climate neutrality, and the second to develop basic Mission Platform services for cities who are willing to commit to climate neutrality on a longer timescale than the Cities Mission.

Long-term Long-term care (LTC) services are intended for people who depend on help with daily living activities and who may also need permanent nursing care. Disability increases as we get older, but can be found in all age groups. The LAUREL project aims at gathering valuable insights into regional differences of integrated long-term care (I-LTC) provision and their support solutions in Europe. Using this intelligence, it will develop actionable policies to respond to the challenges of growing demand, economic constraints, accessibility, affordability, quality of services, shortages of members of the workforce, and systemic reforms. LAUREL will identify a set of the best innovative, integrated care solutions leading to better quality, person-centred LTC and overcoming territorial and gender inequalities in their provision. The project has the following six sub-objectives: 1) Develop a set of methods and tools for mapping and characterising I-LTC services in the EU27, covering: availability and accessibility, affordability, reliability, quality, workforce, funding, governance, autonomy and empowerment, and supporting technologies; and transversally incorporating the gender perspective and regional differences (rural/urban gap). 2) Undertake a field study in EU-27 to identify the most successful innovative practices. 3) Analyse the features of identified I-LTC services and context-dependent factors that provide insights into policies for the adoption/development of the best innovative practices, including supporting technologies. 4) Use this analysis to carry out qualitative research in the EU27 to generate a consensus on actionable policies favouring a shift to I-LTC, by investigating the change management strategies that favour policy adoption 5) Produce a white paper on I-LTC that gathers together all the findings of the project and the consensually agreed actionable policies. 6) Develop a set of training courses and tools to maximise the impact of the results.

The research project CLINIAR – Celtic Language and Identity in Northern Italy and the Alpine Region investigates the linguistic and sociolinguistic landscape of Celtic Northern Italy and the Alpine region in the Iron Age. The project will be conducted at Maynooth University (MU, Ireland) under the supervision of the leading authority in Celtic linguistics, Professor David Stifter, with secondment to Université Bordeaux Montaigne (UBM, France) under the supervision of Dr Coline Ruiz Darasse to receive training in Gaulish epigraphy and historical sociolinguistics. Short visits to repositories in Italy will be made for data collection. Through close linguistic analysis of the Cisalpine Celtic corpus of inscriptions and the subsequent integration of the data into their archaeological and historical context, the project will result in a better understanding of the earliest attested Celtic languages in their historical and social dimensions, and offer new methodologies to scholars and professionals working in Celtic studies, fragmentary languages, ancient history, and digital humanities.

ImAge-D will train a new generation of Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in the development and application of newly developed high speed and high-resolution imaging tools in biomedical research. The ten DCs will be cross-pollinated with concepts and skills in physics and biomedicine, in particular in super-resolution imaging, analytical image reconstruction, and optical micro-manipulation methods. These skills will be applied to reveal for the first time the functionality and morphology (below the diffraction limit of light) of living endothelial cells (EC) that present the main barrier between the blood/lymph and all organs and tissues, and how these vital cells change with ageing. Very little is known at the nanoscale about extremely important physiological functions of EC and their role in the transfer and/or clearance of metabolites and pharmaceuticals to vital organs, and how EC change with ageing. The current generation of optical nanoscopes, however, is rather slow and can only be applied to isolated, typically fixed (i.e. dead) cells rather than biomedically relevant tissues. Also, newcomers to the field need to familiarize themselves with a whole new set of potential problems that might arise in the use of optical nanoscopy, such as image reconstruction- related artifacts to name just one example.This is an area of research where European enterprises are very active. Excellent training in new scientific and complementary skills, combined with international and intersectoral work experience, will instill an innovative, creative and entrepreneurial mind-set in ImAge-D's DCs, maximising economic benefits based on scientific discoveries. These specialised, highly trained, and mobile DCs will have greatly enhanced career prospects. The training in novel physical methods with highly relevant experience in the biomedical sciences will allow them to confidently navigate at the interface of academic, clinical and private sector research.

Food and environmental transitions are worldwide major challenges as illustrated by the Farm to Fork Strategy, at the heart of the EU Green Deal, and by the United Nations Development Goals. Sustainable and healthy food requires an urgent shift from a diet rich in animal-based ingredients towards a diet enriched in plant-based ingredients. This is the challenge behind the Edible Soft Matter (ESM) project. Soft matter science has been tremendously successful in tackling complex problems involving multicomponent materials with a wide range of length and time scales and is now recognised as providing unique perspectives to understand the complexity of foods and to design new foods. ESM objective is to train and develop the employability of a new generation of eighteen young researchers, regulators, consultants and project leaders by providing them with a unique expertise in the design, production and quality assessment of innovative plant-based food products. The ESM Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will benefit from an international, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral training through research in basic and applied soft matter and food sciences. Through their Individual Research Projects and the network-wide training activities, characterised by a strong involvement of the non-academic partners, they will develop the hard and soft skills needed to face the current challenges related to food and environmental transitions. The consortium includes eleven Beneficiaries (including three from the non-academic sector) from seven countries and eleven Associated Partners (including four from the non-academic sector), with worldwide recognised and complementary expertise in food and soft matter sciences. All DCs will be exposed to both academic and non-academic working environments. ESM objectives are timely and the ESM unique training programme holds a great promise for the advancement of the DCs careers as well as for scientifically, technologically and socially relevant outputs.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) alters the communication between the brain and spinal cord. The consequences are dramatic impairments of upper-limb and lower-limb motor functions, which have a profound impact on the affected person, their family, and society. Currently, there are no approved therapies for SCI. The resulting costs of care amount to more than 2.5 M? over the lifetime of a person with SCI. Two ERCs combined with two ERC-PoCs enabled us to prototype two brain-spine interfaces (BSIs) that link the intended movements decoded from motor cortex activity to precise electrical stimulations of the spinal cord to promote these movements. These BSIs restored walking and arm/hand movements in nonhuman primate models of SCI, and as we report here, enabled one patient with chronic paralysis to walk again outdoors. These prototypes were partly based on repurposed devices that were not optimized for the intended applications, and thus presented shortcomings. Here, we propose to integrate two breakthrough technologies to develop two fully-implantable BSIs that will remedy these limitations. The first technology consists of the only existing fully-implantable neurosensor for wireless monitoring of cortical activity in humans based on high-density grids positioned over the dura mater. The second technology is the only implantable neurostimulation system dedicated to the recovery of movement after paralysis. This system combines an implantable pulse generator that enables highly reliable, real-time control of spinal cord stimulation, and a portfolio of electrode arrays that have been designed to leverage the mechanisms through which this stimulation restores movement. Two small scale clinical trials will demonstrate that these BSIs restore lower-limb and upper-limb movements in humans with chronic paralysis. These studies will provide specifications for industrial versions of the BSIs, opening the path to a commercially-viable revolution for people living with paralysis.

The vision of personalized medicine quickly materializes with increasing computational power employed for delineating the contribution of genetic and lifestyle factors to disease and therapeutic outcomes. However, to help a patient, it is essential to capture a disease status through detailed insight into individuals’ biomedical profile, now enabled thanks to AI-based solutions for big data integration. The access to necessary emerging technologies is currently hampered in many Central-Eastern Europe countries due to an immature culture and insufficient networking of main actors of the R&I sector. The objective of this project is to establish P4Health: a Centre of Excellence for Precise Phenotyping and BioDataBanking, based on the solid foundations of Lukasiewicz-PORT in Wroclaw, Poland. The design of P4Health is rooted in a complementary expertise in preclinical and clinical studies contributed by advanced partners, CERBM (France) and King’s College London (UK). In P4Health, partners will unify existing resources into a coherent workflow combining participatory biobanking, advanced diagnostics, and comprehensive validation of therapeutic strategies in cancer and brain disorders. This synergy will create pillars for new teams to efficiently generate essential data and translate them into economic and societal values. On a scientific level, P4Health will cause structural changes leading to a modernized and more competitive R&I sector in Poland and other Widening countries. On an economic level, P4Health will bring together scientists, clinicians, pharma industry and health case users for creating a forum for knowledge exchange, increased volume of commercialized IP and new business relationships. On a societal level, P4Health will become an expert center for regulatory bodies to support interdisciplinary networks, streamline operations of the health care system, and mobilize the public sector for increased participation in research.
