PoEthics investigates the role of affection in ethics, with a specific focus on two ancient Greek poets, Homer and Sophocles. Both depict moral dilemmas of evil, violence and injustice. Conflicts, such as in the stories of Achilles or Antigone, seem unavoidable in the community. On the other hand, sensible characters, like Hector, Ajax or Deianeira, overwhelmed by bad luck and compelling passions, fail to save themselves and their beloved ones. The problem vividly expressed in these literary works is how men can find a solution in such hostile situations avoiding violence, pain, sorrow, and death. Is rationality, practical reasoning, or observance of principles – whether divine or positive ones – enough? PoEthics will explore if the subtler ethical message lies in human sensitivity and bonds of affections, often symbolized by minor characters whose significance need to be re-evaluated. Bernard Williams has endorsed a moral model which takes into account the irrationality of luck and the concreteness of every single person’s desires, hopes and emotions in ethical judgments and actions. On the same path are the works by Nussbaum. Lévinas, Arendt and following feminist though, especially Cavarero and Butler, instead, put at the center of moral discourse the concept of 'shared vulnerability' and the role of the 'other'. PoEthics engages with these contemporary strands in ethics but proposes a new approach, which puts at the core of moral behaviour the role of personal affections. This novel ethical paradigm addresses concrete societal and individuals’ problems involving complex ethical issues. PoEthics’ aim will be to spread the knowledge of these ancient texts to specialistic theater and general audience. Through the fellowship I intend to enhance my expertise in reception and classical studies and to expand my knowledge in moral philosophy. At Utrecht University, my host institution, I will be working at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies.

ENVRINNOV will co-design, test, and validate a common Innovation Roadmap for the European Environmental and Earth System Research Infrastructures (ENVRI) community. This Roadmap will set a credible pathway for the ENVRI community to establish and operate an ENVRI Innovation Hub (EIH), for the future development of new state-of-the-art technologies and services. The project will also develop the tools, policies, and community necessary for the Roadmap’s successful implementation. To achieve this, ENVRINNOV will: i) Conduct a comprehensive analysis of ENVRI services and technological needs & gaps, and define how to monitor them regularly. ii) Define, digitalize, and promote the uptake of common ENVRI innovation strategies for new technologies/services development to meet emerging needs/gaps. This will be done by defining and testing innovation co-creation mechanisms between ENVRIs, industry and the scientific community and shaping them into common policies. The project will also develop an ENVRI innovation capacity-building programme, a digital platform to enable them, and an uptake strategy to promote them. iii) Engage the ESFRI and R&I environment ecosystems to ensure long-term synergies and complementarities with ENVRI and gather feedback and support for the Roadmap. Finally, the project will plan for the timely and realistic implementation of the Roadmap, by also creating and validating with the ENVRI community an implementation plan, governance model and business model for the EIH. ENVRINNOV’s approach supports ESFRI’s strategic objective to “accelerate the exploitation of EU RIs as knowledge & innovation hubs”. It will help strengthen the European response to the climate crisis and its associated scientific, societal and economic challenges, by increasing the capacity of ENVRIs to respond to them. It will contribute to a more effective EU RI landscape, and support better integration across thematic areas and with the EU Technology Infrastructure landscape

Smart contracts are computer programs that autonomously execute on the blockchain. They have the potential to revolutionize many applications from finance, insurance, energy, healthcare, and production industries. However, smart contracts have become an appealing attack target. Since smart contracts are always online and easy to hack once a vulnerability is discovered, recent attacks resulted in large losses of cryptocurrency thereby questioning the benefits of this revolutionary technology. CONSEC is the first holistic framework that will enable secure execution of smart contracts on the blockchain. It takes a holistic approach by developing security mechanisms covering various stages of the blockchain ecosystem starting from smart contract development and maintenance to smart contract execution and forensic analysis. A key aspect of this project is the development of the first secure smart contract compiler which detects and automatically patches smart contract bugs in the development phase. An innovative update process complements the secure compiler to mitigate new and unknown attack vectors supporting developers who deployed vulnerable contracts. Further, CONSEC will develop a secure execution monitor to audit smart contracts while they execute on the blockchain allowing instant reaction to run-time attacks. To tackle the current lack of comprehensive approaches to validate the security of already deployed contracts, CONSEC will develop new forensic dynamic analysis approaches. CONSEC establishes trust in smart contract technology enabling secure deployment and execution of smart contracts on the blockchain.

RECOGNITION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF INJUSTICE TO STRENGTHEN EQUALITY (RAISE) Structural racism exists because of social constructions of group demarcations. Such boundary making processes are at the root of both structural and individual xenophobia and racism. This project therefore first aims to empirically map boundary making processes in people’s everyday life institutional contexts. Second, the project aims to provide empirical evidence in what actions as a response of boundary making processes will support equality. RAISE draws on the assumption that to reduce structural racism, people (and the institutions they operate in) have to be aware of these underlying boundary making processes that reproduce structural racism and the role it has in lasting inequalities. Recognition and acknowledgment of these forms of injustice will contribute to social action for equality. The project will be the first in Europe to study the awareness of boundary making processes in reproducing structural racism and what collective actions contribute to break through such boundary making processes to reduce structural racism. By taking an interdisciplinary approach (from theologists, big data scientists, social psychologists, geographers, political scientists, economists and sociologists) and by creation of research in collaboration between NGOs that address racism and xenophobia operating in precarious contexts (NGOs from Hungary, Poland and Turkey) and academics, this project is at the front of generating new insights on structural racism in Europe.

6G have already been pronounced even we just met with 5G. Extreme data-rates with extremely low latency envisioned to open path to applications like real-time holographic communications. In the line of technological innovations and developments to increase the wireless data-rates, considerations on energy efficiency have remained silent. This proposed action aims to cover ultra-high data-rate, energy-efficiency, low-latency and low-cost as well as supporting beam-steering capabilities for mobility and multi-users, for the next generation indoor wireless infrastructure. CMOS stands out for low-cost, high yield, reliability, repeatability, and is employed in here within several manufacturing technologies. Sub-terahertz frequencies can be used to increase data-rates with wider bandwidths. Even with the increased bandwidths, spectral efficiency must also be increased for higher data-rates. This contradicts with energy efficiency in conventional wireless transmitters employing higher order modulations such as 16QAM. On the contrary, simple modulations enables more energy efficiency, yet, data-rate is limited due to lower spectral efficiency. Moreover, simple modulations do not require heavy digital signal processing and complex baseband circuitry, hence the latency is lower than higher order modulations. A novel BPSK×BPOOK modulations combination is targeted for increased spectral efficiency and higher data-rates while keeping the complexity minimal and hence increased energy efficiency, with inherently low latency. Phase interpolator circuits are to be deployed here in an unconventional approach that is different than the state-of-the-art to achieve beam-steering. This proposed action, “ENergy- and SPECtrally-Efficient sub-THz Transmitter Array Towards Indoor 6G Infrastructure” (ENSPEC6G) aims to propose a solution for a sustainable future in mind of the trade-offs between economic, environmental, and social objectives for the next generation wireless infrastructure.

The past years have shown the vulnerability of rigid international supply chains. The ability to adapt to changes and create resilient supply chains will be a key competitive advantage for manufacturers in the future. RAASCEMAN tackles three different possibilities to react to unforeseen events: adapting the production plan based on supply chain data adapting the supply chain by switching the supplier using a MaaS network integrating remanufacturing as procurement alternative leveraging circularity. The project aims to enable companies to mitigate short- and medium-term unforeseen events and to enable companies to participate in a dynamic MaaS-network lowering the market barriers for companies specialized in remanufacturing or alternative technologies such as 3D printing. RAASCEMAN designs and demonstrates a series of software tools digitizing supply chains by using digital twins and an infrastructure for data-exchange based on European values. RAASCEMAN will develop its overall ambition by the means of five scientific objectives namely: Actionable propositions for adapting supply chains or internal production and logistics based on reliable quantification and impact prediction of unforeseen events Dynamic supply chain generation enabling resilience and self-adaptation of MaaS networks, Building Trust in MaaS networks auditing suppliers’ reliability and testing plausibility of offers Dynamic planning and scheduling of production processes enabling companies to swiftly adapt logistics and production to varying external conditions and Dynamic assembly and disassembly to enable machines in the field level We demonstrate our solutions in two industrial use-cases of the automotive and bike industry and create a MaaS network connecting five pilot lines distributed over Europe. The majority of project results will be made available under appropriate open-source licensing schemes to allow further maturation in integration after the RAASCEMAN project concludes.

Less than half of the global population is covered by essential healthcare services and the aim of the postdoctoral fellowship project AffordBoneS is to obtain personalized and affordable scaffolds for bone augmentation procedures. Dr. Antonia Ressler (applicant) will study scaffolds obtained by using 3D-printable calcium phosphate multi-substituted with ions (strontium, magnesium, and zinc) crucial for efficient bone regeneration. Stereolithography, as an additive manufacturing technique, is going to be used for printing precise, highly porous, scaffolds based on multi-substituted calcium phosphates for bone augmentation procedures in collaboration with the company Lithoz. After the detailed analysis of physicochemical properties of printed scaffolds, in vitro and in vivo biological properties will be obtained to determine the scaffold's osteogenic properties and the influence of substituted ions on bone regeneration by using stem cells from female and male donors and female and male rats, respectively. Further, company Planmeca will provide patient real cases and the needed technologies for obtaining a demonstration of a personalized scaffold, customized to the patient complex jaw bone defect. The project will be carried out at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology of Tampere University, under the supervision of Prof. Erkki Levanen and co-supervision of Prof. Susanna Miettinen. AffordBoneS project requires a high level of interdisciplinary work and the project is planned bearing in the mind that the improvement in the field of bone regeneration relies on bringing together experts from different fields, who are nowadays distant from each other, such as material engineers, biologists, clinicians, surgeons, and related companies.

The unstoppable proliferation of novel computing and sensing device technologies, and the ever-growing demand for data-intensive applications in the edge and cloud, are driving a paradigm shift in computing around dynamic, intelligent and yet seamless interconnection of IoT, edge and cloud resources, in one single computing system to form a continuum. Many research initiatives have focused on deploying a sort of management plane intended to properly manage the continuum. Simultaneously, several solutions exist aimed at managing edge and cloud systems through not suitably addressing the whole continuum challenges though. The next step is, with no doubt, the design of an extended, open, secure, trustable, adaptable, technology agnostic and much more complete management strategy, covering the full continuum, i.e. IoT-to-edge-to-cloud, with a clear focus on the network connecting the whole stack, leveraging off-the-shell technologies (e.g., AI, data, etc.), but also open to accommodate novel services as technology progress goes on. The ICOS project aims at covering the set of challenges coming up when addressing this continuum paradigm, proposing an approach embedding a well-defined set of functionalities, ending up in the definition of an IoT2cloud Operating System (ICOS). Indeed, the main objective of the project ICOS is to design, develop and validate a meta operating system for a continuum, by addressing the challenges of: i) devices volatility and heterogeneity, continuum infrastructure virtualization and diverse network connectivity; ii) optimized and scalable service execution and performance, as well as resources consumptions, including power consumption; iii) guaranteed trust, security and privacy, and; iv) reduction of integration costs and effective mitigation of cloud provider lock-in effects, in a data-driven system built upon the principles of openness, adaptability, data sharing and a future edge market scenario for services and data.

CIDAPE is a groundbreaking project at the forefront of research on the complex interplay between citizen engagement, climate change, and social and economic inequalities. At its core lies the recognition that emotions play a fundamental role in political participation and communication. Understanding and responding to citizens' emotional (re)actions - as set up by CIDAPE's inquiry - are essential to achieving coordinated, democratic action. With a focus on the perceived and articulated emotions around climate and inequality, CIDAPE proposes a comprehensive, multi-methods approach and multidisciplinary analysis of the force of political emotions in European politics of climate change. The project's WPs delve into emotions in the political sphere, media, everyday life, global-local entanglements, social movements, and citizen engagement showing how emotions shape people's rational argumentation, engagement, and ultimately, who and what they care about. CIDAPE seeks to uncover the core mechanisms and processes at the heart of political action - at the policy, polity, and politics levels - and proposes participatory tools, policy instruments, and methodological guides to address these challenges. The project emphasizes that the climate crisis provides a unique opportunity to unite citizens across the political spectrum and that the success of coordinated democratic action will require high levels of public trust, strong institutions, and policies that resonate with citizens' political emotions. the Consortium assembles experienced researchers from political science, sociology, linguistics, communication science, and international relations, and distinguished representatives from civil society across nine European countries. It has a strong dissemination strategy, aiming at diverse citizen groups at local, national, and supranational levels of democratic engagement.
