The proposed project aims at the compilation of a derivational morphological dictionary of the Latin language, which connects lexical elements on the basis of wordformation rules, through the use of computational linguistic methods. The final resource will be both a standalone tool accessible through its own website, and interconnected with the Index Thomisticus Treebank (IT-TB), a syntactically annotated corpus of texts of Thomas Aquinas, currently based at the Centro Interdisciplinare di Ricerche per la Computerizzazione dei Segni dell’Espressione (CIRCSE), at the Universita’ Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. The integration with the IT-TB will be operated through the embedding of the dictionary data within the morphological layer of annotation of the treebank, using TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) P5 conformant XML encoding which will ensure easy sharing and linking of the data across a variety of potentially related projects, and will make sure, through the use of an internationally recognised standard for the encoding of textual data, such data will be re-usable and expandable in the future

The objective of the project is to describe the legal culture in Poland under communism on the basis of cultural texts, especially films and literature. No scholarly research of that kind has been done to date. The experience of communism caused Polish citizens to distance themselves from laws and legally binding regulations and to use the strategy of “playing the law”. This means that members of the democratic opposition, while they understood that authorities treated communist law instrumentally, acted as if their basic rights were binding both for them, and for the authorities. The strategy in the long run was of considerable importance for the evolutionary exit from communism. Conducting comparative research on the basis of cultural texts and currently available works of historians and sociologists will allow me to investigate (1) how the contents of these texts reflected and reacted to the oppression from the communist regime; (2) to what extent the rule-of-law environment of Central-Eastern Europe (CEE) is different from that of Western Europe, and (3) to what extent the Polish example might help formulate more general conclusions about the further implementation of EU legal norms in Poland and CEE, and might help us understand the legal culture of new democracies, e.g. countries participating in the Arab Spring. The project will be realized at the SAXO Institute, University of Copenhagen, in close cooperation with main supervisor, Prof. Helle Porsdam. The project will result in at least 3 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals, at least 4 presentations to an international audience, as well as a range of more popular works. It will provide (A) opportunities to acquire and transfer knowledge between Poland to Western Europe; (B) enhancement of my own creative and innovative potential in an international scientific environment.

TAG is revolutionizing carpooling for Smart Cities. We are following the disruptive market success of the likes of Airbnb regarding room bookings and Waze in terms of navigation, reaching valuations of tens of billions of Euros. However, well-documented technological problems and bad user experiences have prevented such success in carpooling. TAG is now changing this path using proprietary algorithms and smart phone technology. To our knowledge, no other technology in the world is able to offer our solutions. In Istanbul, our prototypes have been successful and have attracted angel funding of €1.3 million from international and local investors ( as it has a strong revenue model) as well as government grants of €0.4 million. We are now preparing for university and corporate field trials with the region’s largest Telecoms, Fuel Retailers, and banks (Turkcell, Turk Telekom, OMV, and Unicredit) to ease parking. Istanbul has been an ideal place to test our algorithms due to its complex and unregulated traffic flows and poor digital maps. It is also an ideal place to begin our commercialization. The Turkish population is extremely social media savvy. It is in the global top five on Facebook, top three on Twitter, and number one consistently on Foursquare. Istanbul also has the highest traffic congestion problem, the highest car fuel cost, and one of the poorest populations in Europe. TAG is not limited to Istanbul; we are now planning tests in three cities in Europe and also hope to add Cairo, Mumbai, and Mexico City. We have a European perspective on the citizen-generated profit model as an alternative to the exploitative cheap labor model of Uber. Integrated on Facebook, Whatsapp, and LinkedIn, TAG brings together ride communities of friends and work colleagues, old and young, in an ecological and profitable way. After three years, TAG will have saved several nuclear power plants. H2020 would give us the recognition and speed for international expansion.

The main objective of this project is to supply and demonstrate a competitive shore power supply also called Onshore Power Supply (OPS) related to providing electricity for cruise ships when docked in port. OPS installations saves consumption of fuel and eliminates the air pollution associated with the use of fuel. Many European cities are planning urban growth in areas near ports and are frequently discussing ways of encouraging ships to use OPS to meet clean air objectives. Electricity supply in Europe has a frequency of 50 Hz but most cruise ships and other large vessels are designed for 60Hz. Thus, in European ports electricity has to be converted to 60 Hz by a quayside electricity converter. The cost of frequency converter grows proportionally with power consumption and thus for cruise ships holds a considerable part of the OPS investment. So far, ports in Europe have been restraint from investing in OPS installations of this type and size due to very high equipment cost. The high equipment cost is seen as a consequence of a new market with very limited capable suppliers causing a high bargaining power in the favor of the selling part. Comparable trends were seen within the Wind power segment in the past but the wind turbines everlasting competition towards fossil fuels has kept focus on lowering cost of all parts of the turbines with great success. PowerCon has for the last 5-6 years been a part of this success by adding significant savings into the industry with beyond state of the art converter solutions at low cost. These solutions are in many aspects identical with the required for OPS, making it obviously to offer the same savings into the maritime sector, ensuring a reasonable return of investment for the ports and for the benefit of the environment. The ambition of this project is to offer the ports the first time competitive OPS solution when comparing price on shore side electricity with the alternative from the ships auxiliary engines.

Europe is in need of highly skilled researchers: an adequate supply of skilled human resources is vital for the European Research Area (ERA) development. More specifically, the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly damaged the career of early career researchers in Europe since job opportunities for them are rapidly diminishing during the pandemic. We cannot afford to lose a generation of early career researchers since they are the future of European science and technology-intensive economic sectors. WOLFRAM2 will recruit excellent junior researchers and equip them with the skillset to: i) answer to the need of the ERA, ii) fulfill the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and iii) contribute to the RIS3 strategy of the Basque Country. WOLFRAM2, which will run for 60 months, is framed around an already well and successfully established postdoctoral fellowship programme in the Basque region. Within the programme, the beneficiary, Ikerbasque, will offer 36 fellowship positions for incoming postdoctoral fellows of any nationality. Each fellowship/contract will last for 60 months, being implemented in the framework of WOLFRAM2 36 months. The remaining fellowship duration not covered by WOLFRAM2 (24 months) will be fully taken over by the hosting institutions and Ikerbasque on all terms (financial, training and supervision). The fellowship will be carried out at the 23 partner organisations which recruit and host the fellows. Each fellowship will be complemented by a secondment of up to 6 months at institutions outside of Spain, from a different sector, and of the fellows’ choice in line with their career development plan. WOLFRAM2 offers unique features regarding working and employment conditions, neither provided by other research private foundations or the Spanish government: 5 years contract with the possibility of achieving a permanent position, competitive financial allowances, international and intersectoral secondments.

EnergyNest has developed a breakthrough Thermal Battery solution that enables a step-change in improved efficiency, flexibility, and environmental performance for the power and industrial manufacturing sectors. By storing energy in the form of heat rather than electricity our technology unlocks a vast new market that has so far been largely overlooked. Energy-intensive industries and several types of thermal power plants emit large quantities of high-temperature heat. Recovered, stored and discharged upon demand high-grade heat can be used to produce high-value energy in the form of electricity, process steam/heat, district heating and even cooling which would otherwise have to be produced from fuel combustion, hence reducing fuel consumption and GHG emissions. The potential cumulative CO2 savings for these sectors is greater than 500 million tons between 2020-2040. Our solution offer strong business cases with IRRs in the range of 20–40% in a market estimated to be greater than 7 billion € per year in Europe. The objective of this project is to demonstrate the EnergyNest Thermal Battery system within the Azteq CST plant in Turnhout, Belgium. Excess solar thermal energy will be stored and discharged within the CST plant which is to support the nearby industrial facility of Avery Dennison with thermal energy reducing natural gas consumption and CO2 emission. The demonstration will familiarize our future customers to the Thermal Battery, establishing trust in its performance, benefits and our capabilities. The Thermal Battery innovation relies on a patented system design using an unique concrete-like storage medium. The project will activate an European supply chain, with steel fabrication in The Czech Republic/Romania, concrete fabrication in Germany, prefabrication of Thermal Battery Modules in the Netherlands, and local engineering services in Norway and Spain. EnergyNest was founded in 2011 by prof. Pål Bergan, a renowned structural mechanics expert formerly professor at NTNU and Senior Vice President at DNV GL.

Our proposal encompasses parallel clinical trials addressing the feasibility and the effectiveness of donor-derived regulatory T cells (Treg) as a therapeutic agent in the treatment and prevention of tissue and organ damage resulting from graft versus host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We propose a collaborative clinical study in which Treg therapy for GHVD is the common dominator. However, by bringing together several clinical centers with expertise in this area, we are also having the opportunity to simultaneously address other issues that would not otherwise be addressable by each clinical center on its own. Firstly, by using different Treg preparation strategies, we will be able to determine whether ex vivo isolated Treg are sufficient or whether in vitro expansion and subsequently higher dosages are required. Secondly, we will investigate if sole Treg infusion is effective or if rather co-administration of therapeutic agents that are likely to induce Treg survival and expansion in vivo (rapamycin; IL-2) is required for a successful response to Treg therapy. The studies on GVHD treatment outcome will be pursued together with a detailed analysis of immune monitoring, comprising T cell receptor clonotype tracking and tissue regeneration markers, in order to further understand the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic and regenerative potential of Treg cells. Our consortium has developed a concerted approach to the topic of Treg therapy in GVHD. This is a unique opportunity to determine the validity of this cellular immunotherapy approach in GVHD prevention and treatment, with potential for a significant impact on patient quality of life, survival rate and ultimately on the quality of health care provided.

Connections between automorphic forms and p-adic Galois representations are at the heart of the Langlands program and are the source of many of the most important advances in number theory. The most powerful technique for proving these connections is the use of automorphy lifting theorems. These theorems are well established in the two dimensional case, but are much weaker in higher dimensions, due to a lack of understanding of the corresponding Galois deformation rings. I propose to use a completely new way of studying p-adic Galois representations, which is known as the Emerton–Gee stack. This opens up a new horizon, because it will allow me to use global geometric techniques, rather than being limited to studying infinitesimal neighbourhoods as in all previous work over the last 30 years. I intend to completely prove the Breuil–Mézard conjecture, which is a major open problem, and implies automorphy lifting theorems for p-adic representations with optimal local conditions at p. This will put the higher-dimensional setting on an equal footing with the 2-dimensional case, opening up a new frontier. These theorems in turn have applications to problems such as the modularity of abelian surfaces, which is at the cutting edge of the Langlands program. I will completely resolve the weight part of Serre’s conjecture in arbitrary dimension; it is currently unknown in any dimension higher than 2. I also propose to use the Emerton–Gee stack to prove a geometrization of the p-adic Langlands correspondence, and to explore generalizations of the correspondence, going beyond the frontier reached 10 years ago, of 2-dimensional representations over the p-adic numbers. Finally, I will investigate a “prismatic” version of the Emerton–Gee stacks, and new connections between the p-adic Langlands correspondence and the global Langlands correspondence for function fields.

SCILIFE – Science in Everyday Life – is a European Researchers’ Night (ERN) proposal. It builds on previous experience of successful editions to bring ERN’s aims to a different level in the Portuguese context. Using the theme of Science in Everyday Life as a point of departure, SCILIFE will address ‘traditional’ science and society issues – e.g. citizens’ engagement with sustainable and inclusive research, scientific careers, society’s involvement in science policy, decision-making and collective deliberation – but it will do so by bringing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) strategically into the public debate. Activities in a wide range of media during build-up and main event will be structured in order to highlight and raise awareness towards the main aims of contemporary RRI – responsibility, transparency and openness – in the sciences, arts and humanities, as well as their alignment with European culture and values. This approach has never been done before in Portugal in such a large scale. The SCILIFE consortium is coordinated by the University of Lisbon through its National Museum of Natural History and Science (MUHNAC). It combines major universities in Portugal – Porto, Minho, Nova University of Lisbon, the University Institute of Lisbon – and Municipality of Lisbon, together with more than 50 associated partners from the academic sector, industry, NGOs and civil society. It covers the most populated regions of Portugal, with direct and indirect impacts expected to reach thousands of people, particularly the youth.
