ECRAID-Base (European Clinical Research Alliance for Infectious Diseases) continues the activities of PREPARE, COMBACTE and ECRAID-Plan, which will lead to establishing ECRAID as an independent non-for-profit legal entity in December 2020. ECRAID-Base is the initial set of activities for ECRAID. As a European clinical research network ECRAID-Base will generate rigorous evidence to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infections and to better respond to EID threats.. The network has already been successfully used during the COVID-19 pandemic, with valuable lessons learned. At the heart of ECRAID-Base are 6 perpetual studies; 5 observational studies in ICU (WP2), ER (WP3,4&5) and primary care (WP6), addressing infections relevant for AMR (VAP in WP2 & cUTI in WP3) and EID (ARI in WP4 & WP6, and Disease X in WP5). All will mature towards adaptive platform trials, with capability to rapidly respond to public health threats. These 5 studies will enroll around 20,000 patients per year. The sixth perpetual study is the Randomized Embedded Multifactorial Adaptive Platform (REMAP) for patients with severe CAP in ICU, with capability of rapid adaptation to new public health threats as demonstrated. In a response to COVID-19 the platform was (within 2 months) adapted with new COVID-19 treatment domains and enrolment of non-ICU patients, and the number active sites rapidly increased in 213 sites (June 4th) with 1084 patients enrolled (567 with COVID-19). Supportive to the clinical studies are work packages LAB (for laboratory support), DATA (for datamanagement and innovative epidemiological and statistical research), TRAIN (for training) and PREP (for improving responsiveness to new public health threats). ECRAID-Base, therefore, establishes a pan-European clinical research network to increase efficiency for testing and developing new diagnostic, preventive and/or therapeutic strategies and therapies and improving responsiveness to new public health thretbd

The neural computations underlying perceptual decisions have been a central interest for psychology and cognitive neuroscience for decades but, to date, this work has largely focussed on decisions with just two potential outcomes. Yet, in daily life we make countless decisions along a continuous dimension and the precision of these choices is of critical importance, such as when judging the direction of a tennis ball or adjusting course to avoid obstacles while driving. How does the brain implement such decisions while balancing the need for speed and accuracy? Separate parallel breakthroughs in computational modelling and neural signal tracing now provide me with an unprecedented opportunity to address this challenge and gain a mechanistic understanding of continuous-outcome decisions. I will be trained in innovative electrophysiological methods recently developed by my proposed supervisor, which will allow me to trace neural markers of the decision process in the human brain using electroencephalography. These signals will provide powerful constraints on a new computational model for decisions on a continuum that I worked on at the University of Melbourne. My unique background and expertise will allow me to incorporate methods from psychology, neuroscience and engineering to develop a novel computational and experimental paradigm that stands to have a major impact on basic and clinical research in the field of decision making. In so doing, the work will create a collaboration and skill exchange between three highly complementary labs in Dublin and Melbourne. After several years abroad, I will have the opportunity to reintegrate into the scientific community in Ireland and establish vital collaborations with world-class neuroscientists and clinicians at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience. The networks and skills I will develop will set me up to establish an independent program of research on neurally-informed computational models of decision making.

The European transport faces major challenges in terms of safety, greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion and its derived costs. In addition, the development of disruptive technologies and emergence of new mobility solutions generate a revolution in transport network and traffic management. In this context, TANGENT aims to develop new complementary tools for optimising traffic operations in a coordinated and dynamic way from a multimodal perspective and considering automated/non-automated vehicles, passengers and freight transport. TANGENT will research on advanced techniques on modelling and simulation, such as prediction and simulation models for future demand & supply of transport; optimisation techniques for balancing the demand flows between the means of transport; and users travel behaviour modelling. As result, a set of applications for decision-making support will be delivered creating a framework for coordinated traffic and transport management, encompassing an enhanced mobility information service and dashboard with associated APIs and advanced functionalities with a two-fold approach: to provide real-time traffic management recommendations and to support Transport Authorities to design network-wide optimal strategies. The framework also aims at supporting a multi-actor cooperation approach for transport network management by enabling communication channels. In this way, the services target to different actors in traffic management. The results will be tested in three case studies: Rennes (FR), Lisbon (PT), Great Manchester (UK) and a virtual case study in Athens (HE)with real data from various modes of transport, under different traffic events such as bottlenecks, accidents, pedestrian flow etc. The impact will be assessed to reach expected reduction targets of 10% in travel time, 8-10% in CO2 emissions, 5% of accidents, 5-10% increase in use public transport and use of active modes or 10% of economic costs due to a more efficient management.

Current methods used by growers to prevent or reduce freezing damage include mainly physical approaches, which have several limitations in terms of cost, efficacy and environmental impact. The use of natural plant beneficial bacteria is a promising approach against freezing damage. With the aim of developing new microbial-based products for freezing protection of apple, the goal of this project is to taxonomically and functionally characterise the bacterial communities associated with the anthosphere of a wild cold-adapted rosaceous plant (Dryas octopetala) and to assess their freezing protection abilities on apple. To achieve these goals, we will use the combination of high-throughput sequencing and rapid throughput screening of bacterial isolates with interdisciplinary approaches of molecular biology, bioinformatics, microbiology and plant physiology. In particular, bacterial taxa associated with D. octopetala flowers under freezing stress tolerance will be identified and targeted isolation methods will be used to recover psychrophilic bacteria. Screening of bacterial isolates will be carried out to examine their ice-active traits (ice recrystallization inhibition and ice shaping) and environmental stress tolerance (drought, starving and UV). Efficacy tests of the isolates for their freezing protection abilities on apple will be performed, followed by feasibility checking of industrial production of the best candidates. The scientific outcomes of this project will contribute in the development of a microbial product for freezing protection of fruit crops that will be further developed for the EU market, which agrees with the promotion of sustainable biological methods. FreezingBioprotector will be fundamental to my professional career development by broadening my expertise in microbial ecology and crop protection, as well as transferable skills on teamwork, leadership, analytical thinking and project management that will be essential for my future research career.

GREENPORT2050 quantifies the environmental impact at airport level of technologies developed in Clean Sky 2 for fixed-wing aircraft. This impact includes noise on ground and population exposed to noise, emissions and air quality, and individual and societal risk. Quantifications are carried out up to 2050 for existing European airports and a generic airport. Relevant improvements in airport operations from SESAR/SESAR 2020 are taken into account. GREENPORT2050 conveys target stakeholders’ impact through customised innovative communication means, such as a noise simulator enabling people to experience sound and visuals of an aircraft fly-over in a virtual reality environment, and an airport game addressing the link between air traffic volume and environmental impact using Clean Sky 2 aircraft versus reference aircraft. GREENPORT2050 implements and expands the proven concept of the Clean Sky 2 TE project CLAIRPORT: 1) for communication it determines stakeholders who are impacted by its results; and 2) it sets the quantification process. This process compares, for each airport and timescale, the environmental performance of two scenarios: one is a flight schedule with reference aircraft and the other is the same flight schedule with Clean Sky 2 aircraft replacing their reference to assess the full potential of Clean Sky 2. In each case air traffic is realistically simulated and the simulation results are input to noise, emission, air quality and third-party risk models. GREENPORT2050 expects to impact Clean Sky 2 TE (by complementing the other assessments), Clean Sky 2 JU and Clean Sky 2 Members (by monitoring Clean Sky 2 achievements), EC and EU Member States (by assessing the level of success towards the ACARE 2050 and Horizon 2020 goals); research community (by indicating opportunities for further research), and local community (by making Clean Sky 2 benefits tangible).

LAWLOVE proposes an analysis of the laws on the protection of artworks and monuments that were issued in the European countries between early 1400s and late 1700s. The objective is to develop a comparative analysis of legislation through both a juridical and an art historical perspective, to understand the systems established in early-modern and modern Europe to administer, protect, supervise, conserve, maintain, classify and record what was thought of as “heritage” in various states. Research will be carried out on original records related to legislation, including documents preserved in archives and institutes in Europe, and will involve an interdisciplinary approach to Art History, Cultural History, History of Restoration and Conservation, Legal History, Comparative Law, History of Heritage Legislation, and History of Administration. Research objectives will include an understanding of: the conceptual core of legislation; the systems of administration/supervision prescribed by law; the legal instruments provided to implement the law. Research results will include: a translation of the corpus of legislation into English; a study of the development of a consistent concept of “heritage”; a study of the practices established to administer, restore, safeguard, catalogue the heritage in 15th- to 18th-century Europe. LAWLOVE will establish a new state-of-the-art and found a first history of legislation on the protection of the artefacts in Europe, which at the moment is completely lacking, dealing also with questions related to the EU policy-making on the preservation of the heritage. A specific training-through-research will help the fellow to acquire: new research competencies; methodologies and expertise in new interdisciplinary areas; transferable skills; skills in project/financial management; writing/lecturing/communication skills. The fellow will refine her maturity and independence as academic, increasing her competitiveness for future career opportunities.
