The camPEconomies project explores a crucial aspect of the campization of the refugee accomodation in Europe that has not yet been addressed in literature: the multiple and intertwined economic relations that develop in and around refugee camps. The research will be conducted through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies drawing from an interdisciplinary approach - my postgraduate studies on Economic and Urban Development, my Phd on social and cultural geography, and my long lasting research interest around migration and gender. An in depth fieldwork research will be take place in two refugee camps in the Balkan Route, the camp of Shisto in Greece and of Obrenovac in Serbia. The aim is to analyze economic and social relations in multiple and interlocking socio spatial scales: from (a) the funding of the camps by institutional actors, to (b) the socioeconomic relations connecting the camp to surrounding areas and to (c) the grassroots economic practices of refugees. Apart from disseminating this original research within academic community (publications, conferences, an educational toolkit) the project aims to intervene in the level of policy making (Policy Report, open online event). Still, following the principles of Open Science and as the discussion around refugee camps is also a public discussion the project will develop an innovative strategy to communicate both the research process (research blog, podcasts) and the results (interactive maps, public discussions) to wider audiences. The supervisor, Prof. Dr. Manuela Bojadžijev, is a professor in the Institute of European Ethnology and a founding member of the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) both based in Humboldt University in Berlin where the project will be hosted. Prof. Bojadžijev is an expert in migration studies and has a profound experience in supervising and managing research projects.

In recent years, data-driven control in high dimensions has penetrated into many new application areas. Examples include control of autonomous vehicles based on video data, simulation based prediction of turbulent flows and precision medicine based on gene sequencing time series data. Large data sets come with significant computational challenges. Tremendous algorithmic progress has been made in machine learning and related areas, but application to dynamical systems is hampered when the number of time samples is small compared to state dimensions, while latency and stability remain central concerns. As a result, learning-based feedback in high dimensions is still carried out without a solid theoretical foundation. This leads to unpredictable behavior, which is a major bottleneck for efficient and resilient control of complex systems in engineering and medicine. The term dual control was introduced in the 1960s to describe the tradeoff between short term control objectives and actions to promote learning for long term performance. A variety of algorithms have been developed to address the problem, but rigorous dynamic analysis is still restricted to systems of low dimension. We propose to address the high-dimensional challenges using a new set of tools based on system theory for positive cones. The cone concept is already well established in the context of sparse matrix theory, compartment models and optimal transport. However, its systematic use for dual and adaptive control remains unexplored. Preliminary results suggest that we are still very far from full exploitation of its algorithmic and analytic potential. Theory and algorithms will in this project be developed in close interaction with researchers studying single cell genetic time series data as a basis for cancer immunotherapy. Learning-based control laws for individually optimized therapy will be developed based on data from cancer tumors.

CONVIVIUM is an interdisciplinary and intersectorial coalition of public and private European partners working together to bring a cultural dimension to the European Green Deal through the leveraging of the material, semiotic, and symbolic power of food. The consortium sees food cultures as a “living heritage” that reflects changes in society and contributes to local well-being with wide-reaching impacts. CONVIVIUM mobilizes numerous creative and transformative forces in the fields that inform the New European Bauhaus to ensure sustainability and positive societal transformation through the medium of food heritage. It offers attractive and sustainable cultural-based solutions which will bring about a range of cultural and economic applications available to different target groups. They include architecture-and-design-based prototypes that will support farmers and agricultural cooperatives to work in symbiosis with the environment, with tradition, and with state-of-the art advances; cultural events and interventions that bring food, the arts, and the humanities together to positively change the mindsets of food producers and consumers; new organizational models that champions inter-cultural, generational, and intersectional visions through the medium of food across local populations; and digital tools to reinforce the presence of food heritage in institutions such as museums and historical sites. CONVIVIUM will achieve this commitment supported by solid managerial, scientific, collaborative, and technical structures, which are in constant dialogue to ensure that the unlocking of food heritage translates into solutions grounded in the needs and opportunities of local communities, in state-of-the-art social science and humanities approaches and methods, and in synergies between traditional crafts and cutting-edge technological developments.

There are no studies that classify and analyse the speeches ascribed to the Julio-Claudians. POWO would be the first collection and classification of all statements attributed to the Julio-Claudian emperors, including dicta, sententiae, speeches, and dialogues, both those included in official imperial documents, containing self-constructions and those reported in literary sources, which convey constructions of emperors in historiography. No study analyses the function of Julio-Claudians' speeches concerning the strategies of communication. POWO intends to fill this gap and produce the first collection and classification of imperial speeches. By supplying an extensive analysis of imperial statements, POWO will investigate the intra-textual and inter-textual levels and identify tragic and rhetorical patterns emerging from these speeches. POWO does not aim to study imperial speeches to ascertain their historical verisimilitude but rather to investigate their use in modelling the representation of the princeps as the archetypical character, who conveys the author’s political judgement. POWO relies on two ground distinctions: the first draws a line between official imperial documents (containing self-constructions) and the literary texts (including constructions of emperors); the second between statements reported in direct speech (oratio recta) and those transmitted in indirect speech (oratio obliqua). POWO will embrace multiple and interdisciplinary approaches: Alongside established scholarly techniques of textual philology, textual criticism, close reading of texts, and source criticism, it will use literary theory, the pragmatics of communication (including politeness and impoliteness theory), doublespeak theory, and adopt a historiographic perspective for contextualisation to reconstruct the voices of the Julio-Claudians.

The practical application of conventional lasers is often hampered by inherent difficulties related to their bulky, expensive and highly coherent nature. Some of these issues can be overcome by so-called Random Lasers (RL), devices in which laser emission stems from the random walk of photons in a disordered medium. However, achieving efficient, tunable, and stable RL remains difficult to date. A large variety of nanostructured metals and semiconductors, organic dyes and quantum dots (QDs) were proposed as passive or active scatterers to fabricate RLs. However, organic dyes usually suffer from rapid photo-bleaching, while semiconductor QDs are affected by fluorescence blinking and their toxicity can be a serious pitfall in biomedical RL applications. CARLITO proposes the use of carbon nanostructured materials (CNMs) to design an entirely new class of RLs for a wide range of photonic applications, where a stable and low-threshold RL is obtained by the combined use of different CNMs as active and passive light scatterers. The ambitious goal of CARLITO is designing the first all-carbon-based RL (ACRL), capable to yield high-quality RL from hybrid CNMs, by taking advantage of the peculiar electronic properties of different zero-, one- and two-dimensional nanocarbons. ACRLs will be a new family of low-cost, non-toxic and fully biocompatible RL devices, which can be easily tuned to emit photons within the entire visible spectral region. Achieving these targets will advance RLs well beyond the current state-of-the-art, favouring their transition into real-world technology, such as in live cell microscopy, speckle free imaging and sensing. In particular, the application of ACRLs in speckle free imaging will be directly tested within the scope of CARLITO.

The urgent need to combat pollution necessitates a focused reduction in CO2 emissions, positioning nuclear energy as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. The demand for advanced materials in nuclear fission and fusion power plants arises from their challenging operating conditions. While current materials are in use, there is a compelling case for exploring new alternatives that offer improved efficiency, enhanced safety, reduced waste, extended operational lifespans, high-temperature durability, and resistance to high-energy neutron irradiation. High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) have emerged as a promising solution due to their exceptional properties and untapped compositional possibilities. Their key advantage is sluggish diffusion, which limits the movement of point defects, leading to increased recombination and mitigating hardening and swelling effects. To meet the stringent requirements of reactor environments, HEAs must also exhibit low activation properties. To tackle this challenge, our research focuses on understanding ion-irradiated single-phase HEAs under high-temperature and high-fluence conditions. We aim to uncover the underlying physics of hardening and swelling using a comprehensive suite of experimental and simulation techniques, including TEM, HR-TKD, Astar strain mapping, ACOM, nano-indentation, SIMS, XRD, AFM, micropillar tests, APT, DBS-PALS, DFT, MD, and KMC. The ultimate goal is to develop a robust screening tool with high-throughput capabilities, enabling the efficient evaluation of numerous HEA compositions. This tool will provide a foundation for tailoring HEAs to specific applications. The designed HEAs will not only withstand extreme conditions but also retain balanced mechanical properties, striking an optimal trade-off between hardness and toughness. This progress will pave the way for innovative applications in next-generation nuclear reactors.

To reach that goal, five Renewable Energy Technologies, reaching TRL 7-8 will be improved, adapted to the local context and demonstrated in two sites in Uganda and Rwanda, reaching around 1300 refugees and persons in the local host populations. The technologies developed in SUNNY will be upgraded following circular economy and local value chain approaches in order to create economic activity locally as well as ensure relevance of the solutions and long-term sustainability. To ensure uptake, a strong focus will also be made on cost-effectiveness and adapted business models. Solar home systems will ensure the access to basic energy needs at a household level (PR1). Clean hydrogen (PR2) and biogas (PR3) cooking solutions will allow cooking to be decarbonised while improving health conditions. Refrigerated food storage (PR4) and smart solar irrigation, combined with biogas, will allow to improve food security in rural African areas and address the WEF nexus. Holistic models (PR5) and assessment methods (PR8) will allow to identify and validate the benefits and sustainability of the technologies, while social innovation through among others capacity building will support the long-term socio-economic impact (PR6) and ensure local uptake as well as a strong replicability potential. Indeed, SUNNY ambitions to widely impact humanitarian energy practices through a replication plan comprising the involvement of 15 replication cases with new interoperability of technologies, training activities towards African and EU-wide energy-access and development agencies and camps managers, and policy recommendations (PR8).

People with intellectual disabilities, low literacy, and low language skills are systematically excluded from deliberative and democratic spaces in Malta (a bilingual country) due to overly complex language used by public bodies. This includes public information and communication in all areas relevant for democratic participation, unfortunately in Malta, government authorities or public organisations are not obliged to provide information in Easy-to-Read formats. The aim of the iDEM hop-on project is, therefore, to pilot AI based automatic text simplification technology, being developed in the Horizon Europe Project iDEM, as a much-needed tool to facilitate access to complex public information to people with disabilities, low literacy, and low language skills for English speakers. This hop-on initiative will contribute not only to widening the initial scope of the iDEM Project, by extending the project target languages and experimental design, but most importantly to the goal of Social Inclusion by providing marginalised communities in Malta for the first time with unhindered access to public information in the areas most relevant to them. Text simplification and text understanding in the English language will be piloted and quantitative tested in the target community and results and feedback will be used to increase the functionality of the applications and the quality of their output. iDEM tools will be promoted to easily and cost-effectively implement the future Accessible Information Policy in Malta on a broad scale, guaranteeing a fast and substantial advancement in social change and inclusion among the Maltese community.

Magnetic materials are essential for many applications in energy, information, and communication technologies. However, the complex phenomena at different length and time scales often limit the development of new magnetic materials and devices. The goal of this project is to develop a magnetic multiscale modeling suite that will allow the design and optimisation of magnetic materials and devices based on multiscale modelling, characterisation, and numerical optimisation. To achieve interoperability between software and analysis tools, we will establish a domain ontology for magnetic materials. We will collaborate with EU magnet industry to create standards for linking simulation software for magnetic materials from first principles simulations and micromagnetics to device level simulators. MaMMoS will use artificial intelligence (AI) to fuse modeling and characterization data. AI methods will identify and correct systematic errors in the simulation data, enabling more accurate predictions. Moreover, AI models can fill gaps where measurements are not available. AI models can also serve as a surrogate in multi-objective optimisation. Optimisation will guide further experiments or simulations, reducing the development time. In MaMMoS, we will apply this approach to speed up the development of permanent magnets with reduced critical elements for electric machines and to optimise the layout of magnetic field sensors for high linearity range. The MaMMoS software will be validated against benchmarks defined according to the industrial requirements for electric machine and sensor design. The multiscale magnetic materials modeling suite will be made open source to enable easy access to high-end simulation tools. Interoperability will facilitate data sharing and reuse among researchers and industries. Interpretable machine learning will reveal insights into the physics and chemistry of magnetic materials and guide the discovery of new materials for the European green deal.
