The level of CO2 in the atmosphere increased two times compared to the pre-industrial period. The biggest reasons for this are the flue gases of the factories and greenhouse gas emissions in transportation. Billion tons of industrial wastewater and CO2 from the same factories continue to destroy our biodiversity in sea/lakes/rivers because of mucilage, eutrophication, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. With global production sectors responsible for one-fifth of carbon emissions – consuming 54% of the world’s energy sources – there is an urgent need for manufacturing companies to minimize CO2 emissions and optimize energy consumption. ALGBIO provides production facilities and industry with a circular economy model service, where they can capture their carbon, purify their waste, and produce their energies and raw materials. ALGBIO will help the industry lower the environmental impact of the wastewater and flue gasses while turning the waste into energy with its circular economy model and patent-pending technology. ALGBIO’s bioremediation technology is called phycoremediation, which can be defined as the use of microalgae for the removal or biotransformation of pollutants, including nutrients and xenobiotics from wastewater and CO2 from waste air. Rubisco enzyme activities of ALGBIO's metabolic engineering algae species have been increased. In this way, ALGBIO realizes carbon capture more efficiently and cost-effectively. With advanced phycoremediation, ALGBIO can remove up to 95% of biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen, phosphorus and conductivity from industrial wastewater and sewage compared to an un-efficient, carbon-positive conventional bacterial treatment. The successful completion of the ALGBIO project will enable us to identify the pilot customers and implement our solution ALGBIO photobioreactors and ALGBIO biofuel production reactor after the project completion.

FAIRCORE4EOSC focuses on the development and realisation of EOSC-Core components supporting a FAIR EOSC, addressing gaps identified in the SRIA. Leveraging existing technologies and services, the project will develop nine new EOSC-Core components aimed to improve the discoverability and interoperability of an increased amount of research outputs. FAIRCORE4EOSC will also contribute to the EOSC Interoperability Framework by establishing new guidelines on the new EOSC-Core components. The new components will be crucial to support the FAIR research life cycle. Five user-centric case studies (climate change, social sciences and humanities, mathematics, national research information systems, research data management communities) will drive the development and testing of the new components ensuring they are tailored to the user needs (co-design). All the selected case studies share similar challenges that are common to many other stakeholder groups: research communities at European and national level have datasets that currently cannot be found in the EOSC; they use Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) but they are lacking PIDs for different levels of aggregation; they use community specific services to manage metadata that make cross-discipline reuse and interoperability complex. The user stories and best practices drawn by the case studies will be used to foster uptake of the new components beyond the project partners. The 22 complementary partners of the FAIRCORE4EOSC consortium have long-lasting experience in the provision and development of research data services, persistent identifiers, metadata and semantic registries, services and tools to archive and reference research software. The partners have also significantly contributed to the EOSC SRIA and are active members of the EOSC Association Task Forces (TFs) providing the project a unique insight and capacity to boost the development of the Web of FAIR Data and Related Services.

Accurate communication between the central nervous system and the periphery requires rapid and efficient transmission of action potentials along the axon. Glial cells and neurons cooperate to regulate axonal conduction, and normal physiology of the nervous system is strongly dependent on the crosstalk between the two systems. Neurofilaments (NFs), the most abundant components of the neuronal cytoskeleton are a key target of the crosstalk that regulates electrical conductance. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which the glial-neuron crosstalk regulates NF dynamics are currently not well understood. Yet this knowledge is of great importance, as disturbances in this system underlie disease mechanisms in various neurodegenerative diseases. In the GliaNFish project, top-notch techniques will be combined to capture for the very first time real-time dynamics of NF transport and NF-protein interactions in a living organism (zebrafish larvae), to understand the role of glia-neuron crosstalk in nervous system physiology. The project encompasses three objectives which aim to investigate: 1) NF organization and dynamics in vivo; 2) the impact of (de)myelination on NF organization and dynamics; and 3) the molecular players involved in the outside-in signalling cascade that regulate NF dynamics. The outcomes of the project will advance our understanding of NF dynamics and signalling in vivo, and on how myelinating glia and neurons synergize to enable signal conduction in the nervous system. This knowledge may permit in the future to explore how disturbances in this system lead to disease and will pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies towards NF dynamics. Overall, this project is extremely timely and relevant, as the social and economic burden of neurodegenerative diseases is expected to rise significantly in the upcoming years.

Radically Embodied Performance as Musical Structure (REPaMS) is an Artistic Research project that seeks to describe, analyse and explore performer's creativity in particular relation to complex and experimental guitar music and performing practices within Western Art Music. This project is centrally advocated on recent compositional practices evidencing a performative transformation of musical material, in which sound-producing actions are immanent layers of the music – as if the composer is bypassing the performer as a person and scoring directly for her body – challenging the performer's role as a creative agent. Based on the premise that performers do not reproduce but create musical structures, REPaMS rethinks performer's creativity as the radically embodied creation of musical structures. The action is structured around three main case-studies as seen through three different epistemological/ methodological lens. By examining recent notational/performing practices as both products and processes, REPaMS pursues an artistic research methodology in which the interaction between notations, artistic practices and further non-musical elements emerging as process, satisfying standards of rigor, replicability and transmissibility, while still remaining flexible to the emerging possibilities and constraints that these notations imply. REPaMS will contribute to build analogical bridges between analytical and embodied perspectives, exerting an impact upon artistic and research practices, formats of presentation for artistic research outputs and performance pedagogy. The action will enhance the ER’s skills and future employability prospects, opening new training opportunities both as an academic and an artist-researcher, furthering his ability to plan, organise, develop his dissemination and public outreach competencies, and reinforcing his professional networks.

The Aeneid, Vergil’s masterpiece, published in 17 BC, two years after the death of the author, is universally recognised as the most important Roman epic poem. Since the very beginning of its circulation, in the 1st c. AD, it has drawn the attention of philologists and has been included in the school teaching of Latin grammar and rhetoric; in the following centuries an increasing number of commentaries on the Aeneid has been produced, engaging generations of scholars up to modern times. Therefore Vergil’s poem has not only played a key role in the history of poetry in Western literature and, more generally, in the reception of classical civilisation, but also in the history of the linguistic, rhetorical, and literary education in Europe as well as in the development of scribal practices and philological methodologies across Antiquity and Middle Ages. From the first 1000 years of such exegetical effort, two complete commentaries, countless glosses, Greek translations, and grammar books have survived: their tradition, that counts approximately 160 witnesses and also includes papyri and late antique parchments, is closely intertwined. The rich variety of the ancient and early medieval scholarship on the Aeneid can now be systematically investigated and illustrated thanks to digital humanities. Focussing on the first millennium of the transmission of the poem, CAVE aims to collect and critically edit the ancient and medieval exegetical works on the Aeneid, and to reconstruct, in a broader perspective, the places, moments, cultural environments, teaching practices in which Vergil’s masterpiece was studied. CAVE addresses these challenges with a multidisciplinary approach, gathering experts in textual criticism, palaeography, digital humanities, history of scholarship, linguistics, multispectral imaging. The research team will build an open source digital infrastructure, that will make available all the exegetical materials along with the catalogue of their manuscripts.

Biomass and plastic recycling feedstocks hold significant potential to replace chemicals and fuels derived from fossil resources. However, their distinct chemical compositions, and large water content, present challenges to existing infrastructure and catalysts. Zeolites, widely used in chemical and fuel production, face concerns regarding their stability under hot liquid water conditions relevant for converting these novel feedstocks. Thus, understanding the mechanisms behind zeolite deactivation/stabilization is essential. The ZEOLANDO project will use an integrated approach combining experimental and computational operando methods, including NMR and vibrational spectroscopies (IR and inelastic neutron scattering), as well as neural-network-accelerated atomistic simulations. The project objective is to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of zeolite frameworks, elucidate the structure of active sites, and explore their deactivation when exposed to water under operando conditions, i.e., at temperature, pressure and surface coverage used in catalysis. This research represents a substantial advancement over static or short dynamical simulations and conventional experimental characterization studies, that often ignore the dynamical effects arising under operando conditions. My expertise in experimental characterization, particularly utilizing NMR and vibrational spectroscopies, combined with the host group’s proficiency in advanced computational methods (including neural network potentials), uniquely positions ZEOLANDO to unveil the dynamic nature of the zeolite structure and acid site speciation under operando conditions, and can lead to the development of new and improved catalyst. By ensuring constant feedback between experimental and computational results, this project aims to enhance the understanding of zeolite behaviour during chemical reactions, offering potential benefits beyond zeolite research, and opening doors to career development opportunities.
