Archaeometric research on ancient polychromy can reveal how past cultures exchanged commodities and knowledge. This raises fundamental questions relevant to cultural heritage research, to our understanding and present-day perception of ancient economic dynamics, technology and art. I have analyzed a number of colorants, with the aim of determining material provenance. The more of these analyses that are carried out, the more the need for an integrated synopsis of the current state of knowledge becomes pressing. My overall research goal is to test the potential of ancient pigments for indicating various forms of (ex)change. I hypothesize that the information on provenance and production processes gained from scientifically analyzing, archaeologically and historically contextualizing ancient pigments will indicate procurement patterns, technology and organization of production, and transfer of knowledge and culture in a novel way. To test this, I will investigate the origin of raw materials and the product quality of cinnabar and Egyptian blue pigments in unprecedented detail with a multidisciplinary approach: The impurities in pigment mineral phases can indicate production processes and thus perhaps organization of production. Trace elements and isotope ratios vary depending on the geology of a source area. This allows excluding a less likely provenance. For BUNT, I will set the material analysis in context with the discussion of the cultural, political and economic dynamics in Noricum after it became part of the Roman Empire – an area with abundant local resources and the potential for local production of pigments, and a highly interesting time of cultural change. BUNT is innovative, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral, which will advance my versatility and independence in research, and which is in line with the ambitions communication and dissemination strategies; it builds, at its core, an open pigment database and aims to promote European cultural heritage.

The EURORAA consortium is committed to stimulating high potential SMEs to enhance their innovation capacity and their managerial practices, in order to maximize their smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The AURASME project is a subset of the COSME EURORAA consortium, based in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions in France. An integrated coordination within the existing activities in the work program of the EURORAA consortium is ensured. The partners involved are: Partner 1 (coordinator) CCIR Rhône-Alpes, Partner 2 ARDI Rhône-Alpes and Partner 4 CCIR Auvergne, so only Partner 3 (ERAI) of the consortium is not involved in this specific activity. Host organizations of the AURASME project have an expertise in key factors for the successful implementation of this activity: support of innovation projects, in particular within the framework of European projects; good knowledge and experience in European programs for SMEs; experience in promoting and supporting different management systems within SMEs (quality, security, environment, performance…); wide approach to several key aspects of innovation system and good knowledge of the high growth potential SMEs located in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions. The general objective of this proposal is to bridge the gap of lacking innovation management capacities within the targeted SMEs located in Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions, in order to maximise the economic impact of ambitious innovation projects at European and International level. The work program is strictly focused on the objectives described in the call for proposal and on the implementation of the two required service packages: Key Account Management and Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity. The Work Programme describes the implementation of these two packages services, the detailed methodology and process for both services and their expected impact. A close link is maintained with the present EEN COSME related work programme.

Geochemical and geophysical observations indicate that much of Earth’s mass was accreted during large impacts between planetary embryos already differentiated into a metallic core and a silicate mantle. These collisions played a crucial role in setting the stage for Earth evolution, including the initiation of plate tectonics, the generation of Earth’s magnetic field, and the development of life. Each impact delivered prodigious amounts of energy, melting the projectile and the protoplanet's mantle, and creating an environment where the metallic liquid core of the projectile was released within a molten silicate magma ocean. The fate of the projectile’s core following impact affected the efficiency of chemical equilibration between metal and silicates, and therefore the geochemistry of Earth’s deep interior. Recent studies have provided clues on the physical processes involved, however, major questions remain. For instance, does the projectile’s core remain coherent or does it fragment into drops during the impact ? This project includes the first analog fluid mechanics experiments on large impacts that formed the Earth, and combines them with numerical simulations and theory. Complementary to simulations, experiments can produce turbulence, as expected during Earth accretion. Regime diagrams and scaling laws on turbulent mixing obtained from these experiments and simulations will provide key constraints to interpret geochemical observations in terms of accretion time scales and processes. Bridging gaps between fluid mechanics, geodynamics, impact cratering and geochemistry, this project is expected to bring fundamental progress in our understanding of the origin of the Earth, planets, and exoplanets. The researcher’s expertise in Earth accretion and in lab experiments, acquired in the USA, will be reinvested in Europe through this project. Because the work is in fluid mechanics, the host organisation is the ideal place for this project.

Designers draw extensively to externalize their ideas and communicate with others. However, drawings are currently not directly interpretable by computers. To test their ideas against physical reality, designers have to create 3D models suitable for simulation and 3D printing. However, the visceral and approximate nature of drawing clashes with the tediousness and rigidity of 3D modeling. As a result, designers only model finalized concepts, and have no feedback on feasibility during creative exploration. Our ambition is to bring the power of 3D engineering tools to the creative phase of design by automatically estimating 3D models from drawings. However, this problem is ill-posed: a point in the drawing can lie anywhere in depth. Existing solutions are limited to simple shapes, or require user input to “explain” to the computer how to interpret the drawing. Our originality is to exploit professional drawing techniques that designers developed to communicate shape most efficiently. Each technique provides geometric constraints that help viewers understand drawings, and that we shall leverage for 3D reconstruction. Our first challenge is to formalize common drawing techniques and derive how they constrain 3D shape. Our second challenge is to identify which techniques are used in a drawing. We cast this problem as the joint optimization of discrete variables indicating which constraints apply, and continuous variables representing the 3D model that best satisfies these constraints. But evaluating all constraint configurations is impractical. To solve this inverse problem, we will first develop forward algorithms that synthesize drawings from 3D models. Our idea is to use this synthetic data to train machine learning algorithms that predict the likelihood that constraints apply in a given drawing. In addition to tackling the long-standing problem of single-image 3D reconstruction, our research will significantly tighten design and engineering for rapid prototyping.

Literature scholars have succeeded in recovering texts by early modern women from different languages, genres, and sociopolitical contexts. Still, compared to their male counterparts, few women writers feature in national canons, or they compose a separate set of ‘early modern women writers’. A nuanced qualitative approach to their textual production reveals forms of self-taught, intellectually-minded trans-genre discourse (traversing poetry, drama, prose, novels) traditionally deemed irrelevant as it did not conform to a practice of scholarly male-dominated discourse. Thus, much original thinking by women has remained intact even if their texts are available to us. The proposed research locates, identifies and examines the invisible written production of women in early European modernity in order to modify the single-gender paradigm of intellectual value. It surveys sources in six languages through a methodology based on trans-genre writing rather than on close genre types, allowing patterns of persuasive argumentation to emerge as intellectual input, while exposing the rhetorical models that have impinged on the social and cognitive processes identifying intellectual value as being androcentric. The main research unfolds in three strands: 1) Synergies, examining religious and life-writing themes that shaped into ethical discourses on the common good. 2) Cloud intertextualities, tracing fragmented chains of intuitive argument in discursive narrative. 3) Textual porosity, understanding patterns of knowledge transference and authorial attribution in the management of sources. The research outcomes will render co-authored articles, a virtual space environment as the reservoir and task field for comparative textual analysis, and a four-volume collection on the cultural history of textual misogyny. WINK approaches intellectual value as a category of gender analysis, bringing to light transformative thinking from understudied and underrepresented women authors.

The project will involve further design and development of our methodology, developed under the ERC Advanced grant 'arylator', for variable ratio in situ stopped flow NMR. The methodology has recently been published and its power amply demonstrated in the deconvolution of the mechanism for CF3 transfer from Ruppert's reagent to electrophiles. The equipment that will developed and demonstrated under tenure of a proof of concept grant will reduce the dead time from 0.2 seconds to a matter of milliseconds whilst retaining the flexibility of our current system. Thus a standard walk-up NMR spectrometer can thus be used ad hoc for the analysis of very fast homogeneous reactions. This will be transformative for the mechanistic analysis of reactions, including catalysed and enzymatic processes, and will significantly enhance the commercial potential of the stopped flow NMR system.

Across the world, Across the world, Indigenous teacher education programs constitute important sites for the creation of Indigenous language speakers, writers and future language teachers. Such speakers are key agents for the reclamation and revitalization of threatened Indigenous languages. Peru and Norway are interesting sites as both countries have established and support teacher training programs in Indigenous languages. Because of weakened intergenerational transmission of Indigenous languages, and limited opportunities to learn in Indigenous languages in schooling, as is the case with the Quechua language in Peru, youth with a wide range of oral and written Indigenous language abilities enter such programs. Many identify as speakers and writers for the first time in university, but little is known about how gender and Indigeneity shape the higher education trajectories of new minority language speakers and writers. Through ethnographic and participatory fieldwork, this action seeks to understand the experiences of women Quechua speakers in an IBE program in Peru as they become speakers and writers in university. Indigenous research methodologies will guide fieldwork, data collection methods include language portraits, photovoice workshops and a language policy action. BSW will benefit from the supervision of Professor Pia Lane and the support of the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan, a Center of Excellence at the University of Oslo. BSW will provide theoretical contributions to the sociolinguistic framework of new speakers and novel multimodal methods for multilingualism research drawing on comparative analysis of data on Quechua and Sámi new speakers in Peru and Norway. A broader objective of this action is to inform Indigenous language revitalization research and practice in Europe and Peru, global social issues that are the focus of the UN International Decade on Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Standard solutions for electronic components housing need power-consuming cooling devices to keep the internal operative temperature. An air-conditioner requires space, additional costs for transportation and high power consumption. Motulab Srl will provide the market with a Modular Smart Frame (MSF), that is a shelter based on passive insulation and built with an innovative combination of elements opportunely designed to maintain the internal temperature with reduced (or even without) conditioning systems; part of them is a panel made of recycled plastic, heritage of Motulab former participation to the CIP EU funding scheme. The MSF can address Microwave stations, Satellite communication - Earth stations, Base repeater stations (BTS), Power stations, Switching stations, Gas & Oil pipelines SCADA station, Railways, Computer rooms. In Italy alone, BTS annual consumption approaches 2.1 TWh/year, namely 0.6 % of total national electrical consumption (source TERNA): a huge number corresponding to 1.2 Mtons of equivalent CO2: the minimum power consumption saving will be 25/30%. From the financial point of view a preliminary analysis has been done, revealing a real possibility to boost the company’s turnover by 600%. The main targets for the business are the EU’s telecommunications and ICT infrastructures sectors. A specialized company for commercialization has been engaged in 2015, to share a portafolio of huge users like Telecom Spa (major Italian telecommunication company) and Trenitalia (major Italian railway company).
