Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are the most violent explosions in the Universe after the Big Bang, occurring during the collapse of a massive star that leaves behind a newly formed compact object and launches powerful relativistic jets. At more than 55 years from their discovery, the mechanism responsible for the electromagnetic emission of LGRBs remains unclear, just as the nature of the accreting compact object that powers them up. The huge scale separation between different processes (the gravitational collapse and the onset of the supernova, the propagation of the jet through the star, and the production of high-energy emission from the jet at large distances) usually forces theoretical and numerical models to focus on a specific stage of the LGRB, rather than considering them all at once. To this day, there are two fundamental questions that remain unanswered: - What is the main prompt emission mechanism? Several models are currently proposed, which are in some cases mutually exclusive and are highly dependent on the properties of the jet and the central engine's dynamics. - What is the central engine of a LGRB? To date there are two competing scenarios, involving either an accreting black hole (collapsar) or a highly magnetized proto-neutron star (millisecond magnetar). Combining state-of-the-art core-collapse supernova models with high-performance GPU-accelerated relativistic jet simulations, the BlackJET project will provide a unified picture of LGRBs by consistently modeling all stages from the start of the stellar collapse to the observed electromagnetic emission. This holistic approach will unveil the intimate connection between stellar progenitor, accreting central engine, and relativistic jet, ultimately disclosing the observational signatures that a realistic LGRB progenitor should produce. By bridging the gap between stellar evolution and GRB astronomy we will be able to effectively address the fundamental questions about the nature of LGRBs.

The WA3.1 FCDI project aims to specify and develop the future Technologies coming from the CNS in order to support and manage the Operational Services, like the 4D Trajectory Management, in the future ATM System. Performance requirements for CNS systems are becoming increasingly complex and demanding and need to be considered as part of an integrated and holistic System of Systems, which includes air and ground CNS solutions considering convergence towards a common infrastructure, and a unified concept of operations, where possible. In parallel, CNS systems and infrastructure for both airborne and ground must take a more business- and performance oriented approach with efficient use of resources delivering the required capability in a cost-effective and spectrum efficient manner. The R&I results will enable the full implementation of concepts such as infrastructure as a service to facilitate the complete decoupling of service provision (infrastructure services, information services and all other ANSs) from the physical location of the infrastructure, as outlined in the target architecture specified in the European ATM Master Plan (R&I need: enabling the deployment of a performance-based CNS service offer).

The main objective of the proj is to generate a EU wide network of connected citizen science projects. A combined support program of direct funding and support services will be delivered to a group of high potential citizen science initiatives. A strong set of communication, dissemination and knowledge transfer will be implemented to engage all actors in the quadruple helix around the citizen science networks. The project will consist of 5 work packages to be implemented for 36 months. WP1 (lead: UAM) is devoted to coordinating the project in an efficient and transparent manner for the whole consortium. WP2 (lead: SUR with significant participation of UAM) will do a benchmarking on citizen projects to identify the barriers, needs and challenges of the new ERA and EU missions to implement best practices on citizen science. WP3 (lead: UT with significant participation from ULB and AMU) will focus on selecting and supporting the best citizen science initiatives to be upscaled to other EU regions from Europe. WP4 (lead: ULB, with significant AMU’s participation) will be devoted to analyze the impact of the project and the transfer of the results to policy makers and regulators. WP5 (lead: NKUA) will focus on communication, dissemination, sustainability and exploitation. The expected results of the project are: 1) Tool kits, training materials and methodologies about best practices on citizen science available to all stakeholders; 2) Network of connected citizen science initiatives sharing activities, data and synergies; 3) Approach from CS sub-projects to all actors of the quadruple helix to citizen science initiatives; 4) Interest by funding bodies in the CS sub-projects supported; 5) Materials developed (policy briefs or similar) for the review of policies impacted. The team is formed by the CIVIS university alliance and MFN that brings to the project its expertise and networks generated thanks to its predominant role in EU-Citizen.science projects.

The dynamics of the solid Earth, e.g., the initiation of plate tectonics, the strength of plate boundaries, and the formation and evolution of mountains, is directly controlled by the chemical and physical action of water. In the shallow (brittle) part of the lithosphere, fluid pressure counteracts the lithostatic pressure and weakens faults. At greater depth, the chemical activity of water makes rocks plastically weaker, and is also responsible for metamorphic reactions that induce weakening. Fluids have been invoked to explain observations of tremor and slow slip at depth, and a large fraction of crustal seismicity is attributed to upward fluid flow, inducing earthquake swarms. Yet we still have very few quantitative constraints on either fluid pressure or chemical activity of water at depth in the lithosphere. In addition, fluid pressure and transport are coupled to deformation, and the mechanisms by which fluids induce fault slip and seismicity are not well understood: crustal fluids are very mobile, and rock physical properties evolve in response to both fluid-rock interactions and deformation. The aim of this project is to identify and quantify the coupled mechanical, hydraulic and chemical processes occurring across the lithosphere, from slow creep to rapid earthquake slip, and determine the role played by fluids on deep and shallow seismicity, slow slip, and long-term evolution of plate boundaries. I propose to conduct laboratory rock deformation experiments with state-of-the-art instrumentation and data processing methods to determine the spatio-temporal evolution of fluid flow and seismicity during faulting, quantify the evolution of rock physical and transport properties during long-term ``healing'', and test how chemical water activity and metamorphic hydration reactions impact deep fault rheology. The laboratory data will allow us to establish the geophysical signature of fluids in the lithosphere, and how they impact the dynamics of faults.

Within European coastal zones, intertidal areas consisting of soft sediment emerging during each low tide, form complex seascapes covering more than 10 000 km2 along the 35 000 km of the tidal coastline. These habitats provide multiple ecosystem services with great potential to cope with the biodiversity-climate crisis by contributing to carbon neutrality, climate resilience and biodiversity support. Nevertheless, these seascapes continue to be fragmented and threatened, resulting in a decrease of their provision of services. Rewilding, a nature-based solution, is a new concept for seascapes to reverse this situation and to “let (again) Nature do the job” ensuring climate resilience, biodiversity support and societal benefit of the future European shoreline. Within a network of 10 demonstrators and 25 partners from 11 European states, including 8 with a tidal coast, plus the UK, Canada and the USA, REWRITE will bring an interdisciplinary consortium of natural and coastal environment and social sciences and humanities experts to address the current ecological and social challenges regarding intertidal seascape rewilding. Expanding innovative approaches, REWRITE will focus on the climate-biodiversity-society nexus, to reach 4 specific objectives: -identify environmental, social and cultural drivers and barrier parameters to rewild intertidal sediment seascapes within the context of climate change; -strongly engage stakeholders to achieve a step-change in their appreciation of the natural function of these seascapes and integrate their interests within a co-design of scenario for future European shoreline; -estimate and upscale trajectories of intertidal seascapes from the local to the European level, following rewilding (passive), restoring (active), “business as usual” or “do nothing” options; -establish tools and methods for successful rewilding to ensure a high ecological and societal co-benefit/low-cost ratio for a climate-neutral and resilient European shoreline.

Nowadays, the increasing awareness of the need to decarbonise the economy has put pressure on the power generation sector to reduce their share CO2 emissions. In this context, gas turbines are the most robust, mature, and cost-effective technology especially for large-scale power generation. A convenient approach to decarbonise the fuel of gas turbines is to mix natural gas with increasingly amounts of hydrogen. As such, it becomes essential although challenging for gas turbines to operate any mixture of natural gas and hydrogen. HELIOS will develop the needed technology for hydrogen combustion as a retrofit solution based on the FlameSheet™ combustor. Essential for this approach is a sound fundamental understanding of hydrogen combustion, combined with advanced numerical modelling techniques and measurement techniques of hydrogen combustion in a full-size combustor. This is essential to boost the required technological developments for utilization of hydrogen-enriched natural gas with the FlameSheet™ combustor. The HELIOS project will start at the gas-turbine testing using the FlameSheet™ combustor at well-defined lab conditions (TRL 4) and will reach realistic conditions in a relevant environment (TRL 6) by the end of the project. Besides the technical developments, HELIOS will stimulate the emergence of an immense innovative ecosystem and create a fertile ground for future up-take of this technology at larger scale. This becomes more and more relevant since GTs are one of the few options to generate high amounts of energy that are needed to compensate a grid that heavily relies on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) due to fluctuating wind and solar electricity supply. This HELIOS concept has the potential to contribute significantly to solving substantial challenges that Europe faces while pursuing to make its energy system smart, clean, flexible, secure, cost competitive and efficient.

A holistic view of the history of cancer is not only essential to better understand its pathogenesis, but also has a clear impact by improving future prevention schemes, personalized management strategies, and treatment options. Importantly, the roadmap of a tumor is incomplete without knowing the molecular composition of its normal cellular counterpart (NCC), cell of origin (COO), clonal trajectories, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment influencing disease progression and response to therapy. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common adult leukemia in Western countries, and Richter transformation (RT), its aggressive progression, these fundamental aspects remain largely unknown. In this project, named CLL-STORY, I aim to fully reconstruct the life histories of CLL to improve clinical outcome. To that end, using novel methodological breakthroughs and functional readouts, I will (1) generate a detailed multi-omic atlas of normal B cells to properly delineate the NCCs of CLL and their precise nature, allowing me to clarify the role of (epi)genetic drivers in CLL promotion, (2) characterize the COO of CLL and its lifelong clonal trajectories to resolve the disease origin and growth patterns dictating the different clinical courses, with the ultimate aim to control early disease precursors and anticipate disease evolution, and (3) determine the mechanisms of resistance to immune-based therapies, as well as intrinsic and extrinsic features influencing their anti-tumor efficacy, to aid the development of predictive models and improvement of current treatments, which shall improve clinical outcome. In summary, CLL-STORY explores uncharted territories unraveling clonal mosaicism, early cancer development, tumor phylogenies along human lifespan, and mechanisms of treatment failure, hence providing key knowledge, tools, and enhanced treatment options with clear implications reaching beyond CLL, that will bring the entire cancer biology field forward.

I aim to develop a novel material system with intrinsically nonreciprocal spin-wave dispersion relation, based on ferrimagnetic insulator bilayers. Nonreciprocity is a crucial property in signal processing, as it can be used to design e.g. circulators - devices that allow to use the same antenna for receiving and transmitting signals. Current technology uses bulk ferrite materials and permanent magnets to achieve this behavior. However, this makes the circulators too big for applications in personal devices such as mobile phones or smart watches. For this reason, the current technology uses different frequencies for transmitted and received signal, effectively halving usable bandwidth. Strong nonreciprocity has been achieved in synthetic antiferromagnets made of metallic bilayers, relying on the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction to stabilize the noncolinear configuration. However, the high attenuation in these layers prevents any real industrial application. On the other hand, the lack of easily accessible RKKY interaction in low-damping magnetic insulators, such as yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG), makes it difficult to achieve nonreciprocal properties in these materials. My idea is to overcome this lack of RKKY interaction in YIG by stabilizing the noncolinear magnetic configuration by altering the direction of the magnetic anisotropy separately in each layer. Such a material system can be exploited to design multifunctional devices integrated on micrometer-sized chips for mmWave in 5G and future 6G technologies. These devices can be subsequently utilized in e.g., autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and thus help to overcome challenges connected to dense communication networks.
