The PRISMAS initiative is proposed by MAX IV, Lund Universiteit faculty, to meet a two-fold objective: (1) ensure Sweden can take the lead on educating the next generation of synchrotron experts, as the home to the world’s first 4th generation synchrotron, giving Europe significant advances compared to USA and Japan, and (2) strengthen the network surrounding Swedish academia and MAX IV with regard to synchrotron methods for interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international research. The PRISMAS programme ambition is then to educate 40 X-ray scientists, through a completely novel and integrated selection and training process, to tackle some of world most pressing sustainability development goals and to be able to meet the challenges of the future. The targeted impacts are: (1) to develop a new cohort of X-ray methodology ambassadors, able to fully exploit the potential of the next generation X-ray sources, ensuring the future of synchrotron technology and instrumentation is safe in the hands of well-trained and highly knowledgeable people, (2) to deliver to the scientific community novel results generated by a new generation of young scientists trained at the cutting edge of several disciplines, and able to meet some of the most important world challenges, (3) to strengthen the Swedish position in an international competition by continuing to develop X-ray methods, (4) to structure novel training principles for researchers among the PRISMAS stakeholders, and beyond. This ambition is supported by a consortium of 9 Universities (Implementing Partners) and a network of 20 Associated Partners from academia, industry and public bodies, strongly involved and financially committed in the implementation of the programme as well as the training and supervision of PRISMAS fellows. This programme represents a total amount of more than 16 M€ budget which 67% is covered by the consortium, enabling to accelerate the dynamic of ecosystem gathering around MAX IV.

Our expectations about the world shape our mood and well-being. In extreme contexts, mood can become pathologically depressed as in mood disorders or dementia. Recent studies have begun to suggest a mechanism for how expectations (and their violation) impact human moods. Unfortunately, this mechanism relies on correlational studies since we currently lack tools able to directly manipulate these circuits in healthy humans. UltraDeepMood will combine cutting-edge ultrasound stimulation with imaging and computational modeling to determine the hypothesis that human moods can be changed by modulating expectation signalling in deep brain subcallosal cingulate circuits. UltraDeepMood will overcome the current major limitations hindering our understanding of mood circuits in humans. First, the lack of non-invasive tools to modulate activity deep in the healthy brain: by using focused transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), a technique I have pioneered in deep primate areas, I will non-invasively manipulate human circuits to causally establish their role in mood. Second, by using TUS to modulate dopamine-projecting areas, I will directly modulate learning and decision processes in the striatum and disentangle them from those underlying mood and well-being in subcallosal anterior cingulate cortex. UltraDeepMood has three key aims: (1) dissociate the contribution of gray versus white matter TUS to mood connectivity; (2) combine TUS with fMRI and computational models to determine the role of deep cingulate circuits to mood; (3) directly manipulate related circuits of learning and decision-making. UltraDeepMood will reveal a novel mechanistic insight into the circuits of moods and well-being in the healthy brain. This non-invasive approach will open an unprecedented avenue in shaping our understanding of deep brain circuits. Determining this is foundational for establishing the basis of mood symptoms and developing new therapies.

Electrochemical energy storage (EES) is crucial in the carbon-neutral future. Nevertheless, the current battery value chain has significant risks, especially concerning the supply of critical raw materials. eNargiZinc aims at developing new knowledge, technology and commercially exploitable products related to innovative and affordable next-generation EES devices, targeting long-term sustainability through the use of abundant and renewable materials and low environmental-impact production processes. A rigorous training-through-research programme for eleven Doctoral Candidates (DCs)—eight DCs funded by the EU and three DCs funded by the UK national funding agency (UKRI)—has been designed through an interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach, involving studies on all the essential parts needed to develop sodium-ion batteries, zinc-air batteries, and zinc-ion batteries/supercapacitors. The research within eNargiZinc will focus on developing sustainable electrode materials (biomass-derived carbons and their composites, redox-active polymers, hybrid transition metal oxides, and interphases for anode-less concepts), electrolytes (solid-state and gel-polymer types), and, especially, on integrating all the developed components into full cells at an industrially-relevant scale. A Personalised Training Package for each DC will be tailored to allow them to acquire the required skills over the three years of employment within the network. To this aim, secondments to other partners (especially in the non-academic sector), training in complementary skills, and network-wide training events will be implemented. The consortium, which is composed of six beneficiaries and twelve associated partners, is addressed to achieve the objectives of eNargiZinc and is based on excellence, synergy and complementarity. Industrial partners will play a key role in the network, by providing the DCs with exposure to the private sector and access to industrially-relevant facilities, which are essential to validate the findings obtained at lab-scale.

The Covid-19 pandemic that has shaken the planet since 2020 put mechanisms of globalisation to the test and shows that free movement of people and goods rests on fragile foundations. A better understanding of the societal issues at stake requires a step back to the Late Modern period. From the second half of the 19th century onwards, colonial empires were at their peak, with well-established situations of domination on trade routes. Steam navigation brought people closer together, reducing distances and increasing chances of contagion. Meanwhile, medical and hygienic progress made it possible, if not to cure, at least to better identify and contain epidemics. This innovative project will provide a social history of health at sea during the first half of the 20th century. A necessary transnational approach to break from the local case studies on a global topic in its essence. The study aims at understanding how empires dealt with pandemics, how sanitary control was managed onboard and wishes to explore how health management was, above all, a personal issue for seafarers and passengers. Such an overlapping of scales allows to study official sanitary regulations as well as concrete hygiene habits, to compare the development of medical station and staff onboard and the implementation of new means of control (health checks and passports, hospital ships, massive vaccinations, etc.). Shipping lines were at the forefront of progress in terms of sanitary risk management. Global History needs anchors to remain feasible: Hong Kong, Marseille and San Francisco will serve as landmarks. The programme is designed from an excellent knowledge of French and Hong Kong maritime archives, and from the need to explore American material in order to propose a complete and effective approach. The chosen host institution and supervisor are also the driving forces behind this research as they offer an innovative and challenging vision of imperial, social and intersectional history.

The goal of this project is to define neurological outcomes after eclampsia and to determine underlying pathophysiological pathways to eclampsia which will lead to new drugs for neuroprotection of the maternal brain. Preeclampsia and eclampsia are the most common causes of direct maternal death globally. Magnesium sulphate is the only treatment in use but it has serious side effects, only protects from seizures in 50% of cases and neuroprotection on longterm is not established. Women with eclampsia run an increased risk of longterm neurological sequelae but causality with the acute insult is not proven. There is an urgent need to understand this relationship and underlying pathophysiological pathways to identify how the acute injury affects the chronic sequelae and identify new targets for neuroprotective drugs. I want to respond to this need by determining recovery from the acute cerebral complications of eclampsia to follow up 6 months postpartum and characterize and identify pathways for neurological injury secondary to eclampsia. This will be achieved by investigating mechanisms of blood brain barrier injury, cerebral blood flow autoregulation, neuroinflammation, cognitive function deficits and white matter scarring in the brain. I will make use of a cohort of women with eclampsia from my site at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, as well as a rat model of preeclampsia and an in vitro model of preeclampsia in my lab at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, to evaluate these outcomes. I will use anti-diabetic and anti-epileptic drugs commonly used in pregnancy and test these in rat model of preeclampsia to find new neuroprotective treatments that improve maternal outcomes. This could enable us to protect the maternal brain, save lives and reduce morbidity globally. My position as a fully trained obstetrician conducting translational research, focusing on cerebral complications makes me unique in the field and very well fitted to conduct this research project

HyPlasma aims at bringing to the market an integrated solution for the production of affordable clean Hydrogen. The process is based on methane pyrolysis, which transforms natural gas (or biomethane) into clean Hydrogen on one hand, and solid carbon on the other hand: it therefore avoids CO2 emissions. The operating costs are much lower than electrolysis (currently the most mature clean hydrogen production solution) thanks to lower electricity consumption. Besides, the carbon contained in the methane is sequestrated as a valuable solid carbon by-product. This innovation was designed with industrial constraints in mind, allowing continuous operation at a competitive price with a low footprint, and allows to easily retrofit existing infrastructure: a greater environmental impact can be achieved when industrial processes are transformed but not disrupted. HyPlasma is containerized, to deliver clean Hydrogen near the end-user and thus decentralize the hydrogen production.

The SOCIAT project aims to develop an innovative, interactive platform for social impact assessment in nature conservation policies. This tool addresses the growing need for accurate, accessible, and standardized assessments of the socio-economic effects of biodiversity policies and restoration initiatives. Despite increasing commitments to conservation, existing methods lack consistency, predictive capabilities, and ease of application across multiple contexts. Building on the ERC-funded FIDELIO project, SOCIAT integrates real-time data collection, predictive analytics, and spatial mapping, offering a scalable, cost-effective, and user-friendly solution. It allows policymakers, conservation practitioners, and private sector stakeholders to assess, visualize, and predict the social impacts of their interventions. The project follows a 5-stage development pathway, transitioning from research to innovation. This includes platform development, stakeholder engagement, validation, and business strategy implementation. A spin-out company will ensure SOCIAT’s financial sustainability through tiered licensing and consultancy services. Key objectives of the project include: Testing and validating SOCIAT to ensure usability, accuracy, and scalability, Establishing an Intellectual Property and knowledge transfer strategy for commercialization, Engaging key stakeholders to promote adoption across conservation, policy, and private sectors, Developing a market strategy for long-term viability. By bridging the gap between conservation efforts and societal well-being, SOCIAT will revolutionize impact assessment, ensuring biodiversity policies are ecologically effective and socially just.
