I intend to travel to the University of Oxford and the lab of Dr. Moritz Riede and build a second generation version of the Large Area Nanoparticle Deposition System (LANDS) that I have designed and built during my PhD studies at Stanford University in the USA. This will be a flexible, particle-agnostic system that will be capable of depositing uniform films of nano- and micro-particles from solution. It is designed to emphasize scalability, high throughput and large area film uniformity and will be compatible with low-temperature flexible plastic and foil substrates and the devices built on them. Once complete, I will initially use the LANDS to deposit nanostructured thin films of metal nanowires to form transparent conductive electrodes for photovoltaic applications. I will continue to develop and explore the use of such metal nanowire films as replacements for industry standard transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) especially in flexible devices.

Icing is a major hazard for aviation safety. In the last decades an additional risk has been identified when flying in clouds with high concentrations of ice-crystals where ice accretion may occur on warm parts of the engine core, resulting in engine incidents such as loss of engine thrust, strong vibrations, blade damage, or even the inability to restart engines. Performing physical engine tests in icing wind tunnels is extremely challenging, expensive and currently limited to partial tests for engine components. The need for the European aeronautics industry to use numerical simulation tools able to accurately predict ICI (Ice Crystal Icing) is therefore urgent and paramount, especially regarding the development of the new generation engines (UHBR, CROR, ATP) which are expected to be even more sensitive to the ICI threat than current in-service engines and for which comparative analysis methods will not be applicable any more. MUSIC-HAIC will complete the development of ICI models, implement them in existing industrial 3D multi-disciplinary tools, and perform extensive validation of the new ICI numerical capability through comparison of numerical results with both academic and industrial experimental data. The resulting capability will allow the replacement of physical tests by cheaper virtual tests, which would be easier to configure and run permitting substantial gains in development costs and allowing more design choices to be explored and de-risked. Most importantly, MUSIC-haic will provide the aeronautical sector with the confidence to move away from a step-by-step incremental evolution of engine design to a more radical breakthrough approach, because the ability to simulate the behaviour of ICI on these designs with a high degree of confidence will be available. This will reinforce the competitiveness of the European aircraft and engine manufacturers. MUSIC-haic will also enhance the expertise of the scientific and research community on ICI.

Coral Reefs are under threat from climate change, pollution and other local and global anthropogenic disturbances. Microns2Reefs will go beyond the state of the art by providing the mechanistic understanding needed to accurately predict their fate given the multifaceted and multifactorial anthropogenic threats they face. Coral reefs provide many ecosystem functions, from coastal defence to sustaining fisheries. These, and many others, critically depend on the 3D framework of the reef made from the skeletons of Scleractinian corals. The coral biomineralisation tool kit is known but key questions remain: what biomineralisation tools are most important? what and how do environmental and biological factors limit and influence biomineralisation? how does the environmental sensitivity of coral biomineralisation determine the diversity, resilience, and survivability of individual colonies and the entire reef? The answers to these questions are key to inform the strategies needed to effectively manage these diversity hotspots and are placed into sharp focus by recent coral mass mortality events and the rapidity of anthropogenic climate change. Microns2Reefs will produce a step change by integrating a raft of new and innovative scientific techniques to provide a mechanistic understanding of coral biomineralisation and hence coral reef resilience. Microns2Reefs has four objectives: 1) to develop a novel multimodal imaging technique to reconstruct the nature of the calcifying fluid and the biomineralisation process in 3D; 2) use this to build a detailed model of coral biomineralisation; 3) develop a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between environment and skeleton construction; 4) quantify the future resilience of corals and coral reefs in the face of multiple anthropogenic stressors. Microns2Reefs is only now feasible due to recent analytical developments, exchange of knowledge and ideas from biomedical sciences, and advances in geochemistry and coral genomics.

The cost of player injuries is astonishingly high. The estimated average cost of player injuries in the top 4 professional soccer leagues in 2015 was $12.4 million per team. It is estimated that every year soccer teams lose an equivalent of 10%-30% of player payroll to injuries. This means that even a small reduction in the number of injuries could add up to big savings. So imagine if half of all professional sports injuries could be prevented? The savings for men’s football leagues alone would be well over a billion dollars a year. Given this incentive, sports institutes are investing heavily in ways to reduce injury occurrence and improve rehabilitation speeds. Gait analysis, the systematic study of a person’s movement, is one of the most efficient biometric solutions to these problems. Despite this, traditional methods of gait analysis rely on static, expensive equipment restricted to lab-based environments only. The data analytics from these platforms is also overcomplicated and requires work and training to understand. Due to this, there is a lack of personnel who can accurately and meaningfully interpret the data. Kinetika Limited, trading as Danu Analytics, is an innovative Irish start-up company providing a novel gait analysis system for injury and performance management in the sports industry. We are working with elite sports professionals and medical experts to develop a novel wearable system that removes the restrictions of traditional lab-based gait analysis. Our product provides coaches, physiotherapists and athletes with unrestricted, scientifically validated, gait analysis in any environment, at any time. This empowers them with the tools to reduce injury occurrence, reduce rehabilitation times and maximise athletic ability. In this feasibility study, the company will complete the elaboration of a comprehensive & sound business plan, identification & contact with businesses and/or technical partners and complete clinical trials and validation.

Facing today’s radical deterioration of marine ecosystems, marine historical ecology has a pivotal role in measuring the impacts of past environmental and human pressures on marine biodiversity, with the aim of understanding the resilience of socio-ecosystems and proposing a sustainable management of marine resources. Recent studies confirm that human groups begun “fishing down the food web” earlier than previously believed. The Mediterranean, this palimpsest landscape, offers a unique archive of undisrupted sea-harvesting activities and a precious palaeoenvironmental indicator, i.e., the remains of marine organisms from archaeological excavations. Although independent studies have increased our knowledge of how Mediterranean resources were exploited, MERMAID proposes an integrated long-term study to understand: a) how marine resources have been influenced by environmental/human pressures, b) when human impact can first be identified, and c) the ways ancient societies depended on these resources and adapted exploitation strategies. MERMAID will first produce an unprecedented archaeofisheries synthesis (M-ARCHIVES Database) of every available dataset, covering several millennia from the Palaeolithic to the Roman era and Mediterranean biogeographical subdivisions. An unconventional combination of approaches (zooarchaeology, marine biology, isotope analysis, fisheries science, ecological modelling, statistics, input of anthropological, geomorphological and palaeoclimatological data) will then be applied on a critical sample from major spatiotemporal contexts (9,000 specimens from 154 sites) at a multi-scale resolution never envisioned before. The results will be key to reconstruct marine ecosystem states (baselines) through time, provide robust evidence of shifting baselines, and assess the nature and degree of human adaptations to shifting ecosystems. The project aspires to make archaeological data exploitable within historical syntheses and marine management studies.

Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes found in all living cells. Ribosome biogenesis is a complex, cellular process that is tightly coordinated with ribosomes demand to ensure optimal cellular adaptation, growth and proliferation. In eukaryotes, ribosomes are sequentially generated in key steps where the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is folded, modified, processed, and assembled with ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) to form the two ribosomal subunits. Recently, the connection of defective ribosome biogenesis with human diseases has become clear. This is the case of the so-called ribosomopathies, human syndromes caused by mutations in genes encoding either r-proteins or ribosome biogenesis factors, which are known to increase the probabilities of cancer development. Considering the multi-steps pathway of ribosome biogenesis, the possibilities to introduce errors with possible harmful effects for cell viability are high. In this context, cells have developed multiple surveillance mechanisms to supervise the structural and functional integrity of the ribosome particle. When a preribosomal subunit suffers an assembly error, in most of the cases, the aberrant particle is retained in the nucleus. However, some aberrant pre-particles have been shown to escape the surveillance mechanisms and to be exported to the cytoplasm. This proposal, aims to explore the functional consequences of r-protein gene mutations, which generate defective ribosomal particles that are successfully exported to the cytoplasm (RiboEscapers) and actively participate in translation in yeast cell. For this purpose, the research action will combine traditional yeast tools together with state-of-the-art methodologies, such ribosome profiling to provide a detailed overview of the r-protein roles in ribosome biogenesis, as well as the consequences of specific defects in this process.

The main vision of CABRISS project is to develop a circular economy mainly for the photovoltaic, but also for electronic and glass industry. It will consist in the implementation of: (i) recycling technologies to recover In, Ag and Si for the sustainable PV technology and other applications; (ii) a solar cell processing roadmap, which will use Si waste for the high throughput, cost-effective manufacturing of hybrid Si based solar cells and will demonstrate the possibility for the re-usability and recyclability at the end of life of key PV materials. The developed Si solar cells will have the specificity to have a low environmental impact by the implementation of low carbon footprint technologies and as a consequence, the technology will present a low energy payback (about 1 year). The originality of the project relates to the cross-sectorial approach associating together different sectors like the Powder Metallurgy (fabrication of Si powder based low cost substrate), the PV industry (innovative PV Cells) and the industry of recycling (hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy) with a common aim : make use of recycled waste materials (Si, In and Ag). CABRISS focuses mainly on a photovoltaic production value chain, thus demonstrating the cross-sectorial industrial symbiosis with closed-loop processes.

This project aims to increase the understanding of the nature of job insecurity by examining its causes and consequences through a multilevel perspective, considering factors at the individual, organizational and country levels. We intend to provide theoretical models identifying antecedents of job insecurity and potential effects on life quality: the practical goal is to develop instruments for suitable organizational and social policies that could address in a comprehensive way the problem of job insecurity now and in the future. We propose to test micro- and macro-level predictors and consequences of job insecurity combining 3 different data sources: ESS, EUROSTAT, PSYCONES. Perceived threat of job loss has became one of the most prominent job stressors and several studies have shown its detrimental effects on employee’s well-being, health, and job attitudes. However, research in work psychology has focused on the role of individual-level variables, thus neglecting the possibility that job insecurity might also be a contextual stressor. Individual employees may feel their situation as threatened even if there is no apparent objective threat. This fundamental distinction between subjective and objective job insecurity is not acknowledged by economists. Their studies on macro-aggregate data consider only temporary employment and do not reveal how individuals experience job insecurity. The present proposal aims to integrate economic and psychology perspectives examining predictors and outcomes also related to labour market’s macro-economic situation, in addition to individual characteristics and organizational conditions. Taking a cross-cultural perspective we can assess the generalizability of job insecurity in various countries and especially examine how higher-level variables influence lower-level relationships (cross-level analyses in the multilevel perspective). In this way,we can encompass interdisciplinary aspects concerning psychology,economics and sociology

Bagshuttle (a brand of Shippies GmbH) plans to deliver baggage from airports, trade fairs or railway stations to hotels or any local destination (and vice versa). Our app-based service wants to give travellers baggage freedom so the customer has the freedom to choose public low-emission mobility (e.g. busses, train) or bicycle, e.g. bike-sharing StadtRAD in Hamburg, instead of cars and taxis to reach their destination. Next to that, business travelers can travel to meetings or fares bag free, tourists can enjoy a sight-seeing tour with their luggage being delivered directly to their hotel. Our vision is to establish an international "Bagshuttle Alliance" partnering with airlines, airports, railway corps, trade fairs and hotels to provide bag-free travelling. Airlines for example are expecting additional ancillary services to be chosen by more than half of their passengers in the near future. Bagshuttle addresses every traveller: We won´t be another VIP service for a few people and this is why we think we will have a high impact on how we all travel in the future. The service is highly capable of being integrated in existing sales platforms. The multi-billion travel industry is in the process of digital transformation and our app-based service wants to be part of it. During the program we would start a 4-month pilot at Hamburg Airport for a market survey to get feedback from customers and to find out the logistical challenges. At the end of our feasibility pilot at Hamburg Airport we´ll have a detailed business plan with information regarding market volume, pricing, product characteristics, choice of partners, integrations, market approach and financial planning. Our founder team will make sure that the technical, logistical and financial challenges of this service will be clarified.
