WinWin4Worklife envisions to enable healthy, inclusive and sustainable remote working arrangements (RWA) in Europe by combining employer and employee perspectives into a single framework. The project has five key objectives and outcomes: 1) To gain an interdisciplinary understanding of how the private and work spheres interact when working remotely; 2) To assess which living and working conditions ensure a healthy work-life balance in RWA for both men and women living in urban, rural, and cross-border areas; 3) To develop forecasting models of the impacts of different scenarios of RWA on mobility, land use, air quality, noise, and health; 4) To enhance knowledge on the role of culture, regional context and welfare systems in the uptake of RWA by employees and employers; and 5) To develop a comprehensive set of evidence-based spatial policies for a sustainable implementation of RWA, based on co-creation processes with stakeholders and citizens. To do so, WinWin4WorkLife will collect novel and comprehensive data in 5 European countries (DE, FI, LU, PT, SK), selected to represent different welfare systems, housing and labour markets, and cultural norms towards remote work. Data collection consists of an employer survey focused on organizational support for RWA, impacts on skills retention and productivity, and intentions to relocate; and an employee survey complemented by interviews and a time use app covering employee circumstances, gendered RWA experiences, impacts on work-life balance and mental health, as well as residential or job relocation, and social security and taxation issues. This quantitative and qualitative data will feed custom-made spatial forecasting models to assess wider urban/rural regeneration, environmental and health impacts. Close and continuous engagement with planning, policy, business, and institutional stakeholders will ensure concrete and context-sensitive policy actions and measures for the sustainable uptake of RWA in Europe.

NARRATE-HOP-ON broadens the scope of market disruption signal analysis in NARRATE project, and incorporates strategic advisory components for market positioning, encompassing assessment of systemic risks associated with import reliance on geopolitically competitive economies. NARRATE-HOP-ON introduces detailed mapping of global supply and demand at the detailed product group level, guiding firms towards markets with the most potential for boosting sales, exports, and market share. Incorporating these additional perspectives helps to identify additional supply chain vulnerabilities, demand disruptions and opportunities, boosting resilience and efficiency of the EU manufacturing industries. Three new demonstrators are developed: (1) Smart advisor for alleviation of critical import dependencies, (2) Smart advisor for the identification of export opportunities and (3) The predictive market analysis and early warning tool as an enhancement of the tool under development in NARRATE. The first two are additional tools integrated into the NARRATE eco-system. The integration of the additional partner enriches the original NARRATE project’s methodology by deepening the understanding of market structures, trade relationships, geopolitical risks, and economic dependencies. By incorporating these advanced capabilities, this approach not only improves operational efficiency but also strengthens the strategic positioning of European manufacturers in the global market, ultimately contributing to the increased economic growth and resilience. The new partner will also broaden the project's reach, particularly within Estonia, the Baltics and Nordics. Additional participatory activities and policy engagements are foreseen. At the same time, the new partner will benefit from the expertise of the leading partners behind the NARRATE project.

The magnetic version of the electron, the Dirac magnetic monopole, although predicted to exist, has yet to be discovered. Recently, the search for emergent magnetic monopoles in quantum materials has focused on spin-ice compounds, which host magnetic monopoles as emergent quasiparticles. Even though emergent monopoles have been studied using the toolbox of quantum matter research, the long awaited monopole detection is still lacking because of the limited low spatial resolution probes and temperature range of the experiments. In this proposal, I present a plan to develop a novel concept called Scanned Spin-Noise Microscope (SSNM) and provide a cutting-edge instrument for realising a Sub-Nanoscale Observation of MAgnetic monopole Noise (SNOMAN). The SSNM will be designed to operate in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator to slow down the monopole dynamics and realise the long-awaited single monopole detection. I aim to undertake this project under the supervision of Prof. Seamus Davis at University College Cork, where all the necessary facilities and expertise are available to achieve the objectives described in this proposal.

One of three key focuses of the European Researchers' Nights “exploREsearch” in Austria will be to enhance the understanding and promote current research in the fields of climate and sustainability with a focus on the European Green Deal. The second key focus is citizen science, which is an efficient way to democratise science and to bring the public and science closer together for enhancing both public knowledge as well as understanding of science. Moreover, in order to open up new perspectives of seeing the world, it is more than necessary to understand arts and show the diversity of research in this area. In this context, the third focus of the European Researchers' Night events "exploREsearch" will be Arts & Research. Besides, we will also emphasize on the Horizon Europe Missions. For the first time in Austria, the ERNs will be organised in several major cities (Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck) at the same time covering Austria from East to West and enabling about a fourth of the Austrian population to directly participate at the events. The events will, on the one hand incorporate on-site formats such as Scientific Booths and Workshops, Science Talks, Science Cafes, Science Slams, the EU-Corner as well as several Social Activities to bring public and science closer together. On the other hand, virtual formats will integrate lectures and workshops as well as a live stream from the on-site stage program for online visitors. Furthermore, the project incorporates a large number of pre-events of which several are dedicated to Researchers at Schools activities. Support for the event and its promotion was stated by Austrian ministries (including also financial support), other public stakeholders, funding agencies and initiatives. The project "exploREsearch" integrates 7 partners with different competences, backgrounds and public outreach, therefore being able to implement successful European Researchers' Nights in Austria in 2022 and 2023.

The Cross-KIC Strategic Education Cluster (Edu Cluster) is an unprecedented endeavour to integrate, systematise and leverage education activities from different KICs, create joint offerings, and open new opportunities for raising EIT’s profile and market penetration. By ensuring interactions and synergies between KICs’ educational activities, the Edu Cluster creates cross-cutting opportunities, fosters peer-learning, and allows efficiency gains. As a result, EIT partners are equipped to innovate solutions to global challenges tackled by European policies, most notably the Green Deal and the Deep Tech Talent Initiative (DTTI). The different Work Packages (WPs) comprising the Edu Cluster reflect the need for transversality of EIT’s educational offer. WP2 will develop, execute, and scale the DTTI by training one million deep tech talents by 2025, therefore contributing to the new European Innovation Agenda. WP3 will build on its success with the Girls Go Circular project by expanding its educational resources and reach to all EU member states. WP4 will support the long-term sustainability of the EIT Alumni community while ensuring inclusion and diversity. WP5 will scale up the EIT Virtual Campus (VC) through upskilling or reskilling learners with competences in line with market demand. EIT VC will become the go-to educational portal to address knowledge needs in Europe and complement the resources of higher education institutions. WP6 will explore a mode of operation with the platform consortium (hereafter InnoNext)for the EU Next Generation Innovation Internship scheme and coordinate integration into the scheme with the KICs. The Edu Cluster, in synergy with other Cross-KIC Clusters and the HEI Initiative, will keep strengthening the Cross-KIC offering along the entire education value chain.

The REDHy project tackles the limitations of contemporary electrolyser technologies by fundamentally reimagining water electrolysis, allowing it to surpass the drawbacks of state-of-the-art (SoA) electrolysers and become a pivotal technology in the hydrogen economy. The REDHy approach is highly adaptable, enduring, environmentally friendly, intrinsically secure, and cost-efficient, enabling the production of economically viable green hydrogen at considerably increased current densities compared to SoA electrolysers. The REDHy method is based on the findings of numerous EU-funded initiatives and patented by the DLR (TRL2). It is uniting academic and industrial entities across a broad spectrum of expertise. Unlike SoA electrolysers, REDHy is entirely free of critical raw materials and doesn't require fluorinated membranes or ionomers, while maintaining the potential to fulfil a substantial portion of the 2024 KPIs. In accordance with Europe's circular-economy action plan, a 5-cell stack with an active surface area exceeding 100 cm2 and a nominal power of 1.5 kW will be developed, capable of managing a vast dynamic range of operational capacities with economically viable and stable stack components. These endeavours will guarantee lasting and efficient performance at elevated current densities (1.5 A cm-2 at Ecell 1.8 V/cell) at low temperatures (60 °C) and suitable hydrogen output pressures (15 bar). The project's ultimate objective is to create a prototype, validate it in a laboratory setting for 1200 hours at a maximum degradation of 0.1%/1000 hours and achieve TRL4. This final phase will emphasize the potential of the REDHy approach and its crucial role in the upcoming hydrogen economy, secure subsequent investments, and showcase the necessity for ground-breaking, innovative thinking to reach climate objectives in a timely fashion.

The current industrial approach to create metal products is unsustainable. Massive amounts of energy consumption, chemicals, water and the exhaustion of natural metal resources are the hallmark of metal production and processing industries. Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) presents an opportunity to ameliorate metal processing and product manufacturing. While this is a known fact, a full scale industrial implementation of metal AM has been impossible until now due to the lack of consistent AM metal quality. DurAMat is the game-changer that will engender long-lasting performance properties of AM products used in severe exposure environments. DurAMat research will i) develop AM components from different alloy families sustainably ii) enable AM as preferred repair method for defunct metallic products and iii) enable AM for metal functionalisation. DurAMat’s research combines experimental research with multiscale modelling and machine learning (ML) methods. DurAMat fills important knowledge gaps and will innovate AM metals (duplex steel alloys for marine, magnesium for bioresorbable implants) and coatings (biocomposite and AM metal coatings for corrosion and mechanical performance), technologies and services (AM for repair, ML for corrosion inhibitor selection), three computational models (multiscale and ML) and one device (add-on for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing microstructure control). The DurAMat consortium consists of 6 Universities, 2 Research Centres and 5 Industrial Companies from 6 European Countries. It will train 10 doctoral candidates in a holistic approach, encompassing cross-disciplinary scientific knowledge transfer, teaching activities and cultivating interpersonal and transferable skills. DurAMat’s impact forecasts, among others, a 30% energy reduction in the processing and manufacturing of products, 60% less end-product failures reducing health hazards, eco pollution and casualties, and 20% cost benefit compared to conventional industry approaches.

Is there a common ground between the behavior of a flock of starlings and the polarization of opinions within human communities? Can we represent traders in a financial market just like spins in a magnet? For years, scientists have conjectured that a certain type of collective behavior ubiquitous in nature adhere to common principles, which can be captured by the physics of criticality. Originally, this idea was largely speculative, but the last three decades have witnessed an increase in the number of concrete approaches to biological and socioeconomic modelling inspired by the physics of criticality. Although plenty of resources are currently spent with the hope that physics can help us prevent unwanted coordinated events, such as population collapse or political radicalization, the foundations for extrapolating the physics of criticality into other sciences remain unclear. MACBeh’s ambition is to tackle this timely challenge by addressing three outstanding questions: (Q1) What is transferred from physics to other sciences in the case of criticality? (Q2) What explains the predictive and explanatory power of some models of criticality outside of physics? (Q3) How can we improve the practice of model building in the study of criticality? We will address these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective, by connecting relevant debates in philosophy of science with a systematic study of existing models of criticality in biology and socioeconomics. The underlying thesis is that models of criticality outside of physics are cases of “model adaptation,’’ a powerful new framework stating that successful models in the new domain are constructed based on universal properties and causal mechanisms borrowed from physics plus the incorporation of domain dependent properties, which have no analog in the original physical models. Our results will lead to a step change in our understanding of cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer for the case of critical behavior and beyond.
