SIHAFA explores the late Ottoman (1890s–1918) Arabic ideosphere of the Eastern Mediterranean through its periodical press. SIHAFA transcends the individual periodical for a systematic and computational study of the periodical press as a discursive field and at scale in order to better understand both the intellectual history of the Eastern Mediterranean at a crucial historical juncture and periodical production itself. As MSCA fellow, Dr. Grallert will receive crucial training at Universität Hamburg and will scrutinise a digital corpus of seven Arabic journals from Baghdad, Beirut, Cairo and Damascus with more than 7 million words (the result of his current research) through a combination of stylometric authorship attribution, social network analysis, and close reading of bio-bibliographical dictionaries. He will evaluate theoretical and methodological approaches, workflows, and tools developed in the Global North for their applicability to cultural heritage of the Global South. A secondment at Uniwersytet Jagielloński will provide methodological training in stylometry. The research objectives are to: (1) fill a gap in research by developing and evaluating methods for the study of Arabic periodicals; (2) challenge established narratives of the Arabic Renaissance (nahda) by re-introducing non-Syrian and Muslim authors and periodicals from beyond Cairo and Beirut commonly ignored by scholarly literature through the leading research question "What were the core nodes of authors and periodicals in this ideosphere and how did they change over time?"; (3) help establish the field of Arab Periodical Studies through community building across the postcolonial north-south divide. SIHAFA is committed to FAIR data and open access. Dr. Grallert will produce and publish: ground-breaking research to be published in English and Arabic; improved digital scholarly editions; authority files; an OCR model for Arabic periodicals; and a plain text corpus of authorship candidates.

NANO-IMAGING proposes the elucidation of the potential of a metal-protein hybrid nanostructure as a platform for the development of tissue-specific positive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents. This proposal builds on the large demand for MRI examinations worldwide, the health concerns raised by available contrast agents, and the little choice of tissue-specific contrast agents available to clinical practitioners. The unique value proposition of NANO-IMAGING —a safe, bright, and tissue-specific MRI contrast agent— is possible due to the purposely designed structure and composition of the nanostructure and tissue-targeting properties thereof. The proposed solution, based on proprietary technology, allows for the control of the nanomaterial properties and the straightforward customization of targeting moieties. Having observed the basic principles of the technology; formulated the concept behind the idea; and made in-vitro experiments that prove the consistency of our revolutionary approach, now we want to further the technology towards the clinical practice by testing the technology in-vivo. By leveraging on the platform nature of this solution and our capacity to tune the targeting properties of the nanostructure, we aim at providing a simple, tuneable, and affordable development platform for the fabrication of biocompatible, tissue-specific MRI contrast agents à la carte. Therefore, the successful outcome of this project will help realize the breakthrough and innovation potential of this solution for the fast and cost-effective development of a growing portfolio of tissue-specific MRI contrast agents. And thereby address a current societal challenge in health by satisfying the present demand for efficient, safe, and tissue-specific contrast agents for diagnosis

Social science research has made impressive strides in studying discrimination (unequal treatment) and inequality (unequal outcomes), but often examines them separately. DISEQUAL bridges this gap by exploring the mutually reinforcing relations between discrimination and inequality – conceptualized as the Discrimination-Inequality Cycle. The project advances the field through three key objectives: 1) Assessing the relations between discrimination and inequality combining experimental and observational data; 2) Understanding how social-psychological mediators such as attitudes, beliefs and experiences perpetuate the Discrimination-Inequality Cycle; 3) Analyzing the role of policies in shaping and potentially breaking the cycle. DISEQUAL collects and harmonizes high-quality cross-national data encompassing various discrimination categories, with a focus on gender and ethnoracial groups, across multiple spheres of interactions, particularly hiring and rental housing. Using advanced quantitative and meta-analytical techniques, DISEQUAL synthesizes fragmented evidence on discrimination from field experiments and combines it with inequality data assessing their relations across up to 35 countries between 1970 and 2024. The project further integrates experimental sources with large-scale real-life datasets merged at the regional and workplace levels within countries to analyze how social-psychological factors mediate the cyclical relation between discrimination and inequality. DISEQUAL also incorporates field experiments in policy analysis frameworks, systematically comparing the effects of gender and ethnoracial policies. Combining multidisciplinary insights from sociology, economics, political science and social psychology, DISEQUAL aims to deepen our understanding of how discrimination and inequality perpetuate each other and enhance the effectiveness of policies designed to combat these pervasive societal challenges.

Never before has there been a stronger global focus on the development of sustainability-oriented policies. Nevertheless, ca. 47% of their potential sustainability gains are never achieved due to rebound effects, negative consequences of sustainability-oriented interventions due to behavioural and systemic changes. REBOUNDLESS POLICIES aims to develop, test and demonstrate a comprehensive toolbox for the identification, simulation, and prevention of potential rebound effects of sustainability-oriented policies. The toolbox will consist of an expert system of rebound mechanisms, a configurator for the ex-ante simulation of rebound effects magnitude, and a catalogue of reboundless policy measures. The toolbox is targeted at sustainability-oriented policy advisors supporting evidence-based public policy making at the local, national and regional levels, incl. parties’ advisors and lobbyists, research agencies, non-governmental organisations, think-tanks, consultancies, and academic institutions. The project draws from the ERC-funded project REBOUNDLESS, which is enabling a paradigm shift for preventing rebound effects by design, with a focus on the design of products, product/service-systems and socio-technical systems. REBOUNDLESS POLICIES departs from the current recognition of the urgency in addressing rebound effects within policymaking to the demonstration of the REBOUNDLESS POLICIES toolbox potential, in close collaboration with policy advisors. Ultimately, the REBOUNDLESS POLICIES toolbox will enable policymakers to effectively simulate and prevent potential rebound effects of policies, enabling the achievement of intended sustainability gains.

The EU goal of cutting greenhouse gas to zero net emissions by 2050 will put particular pressure on energy conversion and storage systems. Reversible Solid Oxide Cells (rSOCs) capable of efficiently operating in two modes: as solid oxide fuel cell and as solid oxide electrolyser cell, are of particular interest. To operate the cells with high efficiency and long duration, scrutiny of potential oxygen electrode materials and development of novel materials for intermediate temperature (IT)-SOCs is essential. However, a methodology to screen the oxygen surface exchange and bulk diffusion kinetics with a ubiquitous, easily accessible and reliable technique is still in high demand. The fellowship aims to address these urgent demands towards a green economy. Two chemical vapour deposition methods, metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD), will be wisely combined for obtaining thin film preparation with improved nano-morphology. Pr-doped La2NiO4±δ thin films (LPNO) with surface modification will be prepared, to improve the electrochemical properties while maintaining good ionic conductivity. The development of the unique in situ isotopic exchange Raman spectroscopy (IERS) technique and apparatus, will be the second core task of this project. This novel Raman technique will be used as an alternative and complementary technique to the conventional approach, proving more efficient, accessible and nondestructive in situ measurements. For the candidate, as part of her continuing interest in electroceramics, the project will link perfectly with her previous experience and will provide her with the opportunity of applying her in depth knowledge to develop novel new skills in the area of solid state ionics, especially for nanoscale thin films. On the long term she will be able to extend and broaden her existing academic and industrial network and advance her career prospects.

The core objective of FAIRiCUBE is to enable players from beyond classic Earth Observation (EO) domains to provide, access, process, and share gridded data and algorithms in a FAIR and TRUSTable manner. To reach this objective, we propose creating the FAIRiCUBE HUB, a crosscutting platform and framework for data ingestion, provision, analysis, processing, and dissemination, to unleash the potential of environmental, biodiversity and climate data through dedicated European data spaces. Within this project, TRL 7 will be attained, together with the necessary governance aspects to assure continued maintenance of the FAIRiCUBE HUB beyond the project lifespan. This project’s goal is to leverage the power of Machine Learning (ML) operating on multi-thematic datacubes for a broader range of governance and research institutions from diverse fields, who at present cannot easily access and utilize these potent resources. Selected use cases will illustrate how data-driven projects can benefit from cube formats, infrastructure, and computational benefits. They will guide us in creating a user-friendly FAIRiCUBE HUB, which is tightly integrated to the common European data spaces, providing relevant stakeholders an overview of both data and processing modules readily available to be applied to these data sources. Tools enabling users not intimately familiar with the worlds of EO and ML to scope the requirements and costs of their desired analyses will be implemented, easing uptake of these resources by a broader community. The FAIR sharing of results with the community will be fostered by providing easy to use tools and workflows directly in the FAIRiCUBE HUB.

The transition towards a more sustainable, digital, and inclusive economy in Europe requires a human-centred approach that combines digital and industrial technologies and which has an eye for spatial dynamics. However, there is a lack of integration between different disciplines and initiatives, resulting in missed opportunities for this transition. FABRIX aims to address this challenge by adopting an integrated approach to local and regenerative urban manufacturing, combining spatial design, developing opportunities for industrial symbiosis and circular manufacturing, and by value chain analysis and management. FABRIX will develop an innovative and interactive platform (MANTEL) that supports local value-chain management for more circular and regenerative urban manufacturing. FABRIX focuses on the textile and clothing sector (T&C) in Athens (Greece) and Rotterdam (The Netherlands). T&C is one of the most environmentally and socially unsustainable sectors. It is a priority in the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Industrial Strategy. The core innovation of FABRIX’s research design and implementation is the entanglement of spatial and relational perspectives; perspectives that cannot be seen apart, but that in practice are mostly dealt with separately in policy and research, thus hampering significant progress. FABRIX allows for a pro-active co-created implementation and change of the observed suboptimal reality. FABRIX’s focus on the T&C sector, its innovative mix of research methods, its interactive, open-source digital platform of tools, and its capacity-building FABRIX Academy, will ensure the transferability during and beyond the research and innovation action to other places and other sectors dealing with similar suboptimization.
