Volcanoes at high latitudes or at high elevations at temperate latitudes are commonly capped by glaciers. Understanding the dynamics of volcano-ice interaction is important because meltwater production can influence eruption style and lead to sudden outburst floods or explosive lava-water interactions. In addition, glaciovolcanic deposits can be useful terrestrial indicators of past environments. Glaciated volcanic systems are complex because meltwater availability and eruption style are dependent on a combination of magmatic, glacial and edifice characteristics. The relative influence of these characteristics are open fields of research. SURGE aims to improve our understanding of glaciovolcanic interactions by studying ice-confined deposits at Katla volcano, Iceland. Katla is a highly active and hazardous subglacial volcano from which all historic eruptions have occurred beneath an ice cap and have resulted in outburst floods. While the Holocene eruptive record at Katla is well-known, the older parts of the edifice have received little attention. A second aim of SURGE, therefore, is to improve our understanding of the pre-Holocene eruption history and edifice building at Katla. New geological mapping will be carried out to determine the eruption and emplacement processes of pre-Holocene formations. We will then use thermal modelling to determine the volume of ice that was melted during these eruptions in order to reconstruct the ancient glacier surface and extent. Finally, radiometric dating of the formations will be used to build an age-constrained record of glacier dimensions and eruptive activity at Katla. Our multidisciplinary approach will contribute to understanding of processes that occur beneath an ice cap or are too hazardous to observe. In addition, our estimates of ice volumes melted during these past eruptions will inform future hazard planning. The global prevalence of ice-capped volcanoes means that this study will have widespread relevance.

In the last 20 years, the digital revolution has transformed the way we do business. The raise of fintech solutions and the globalisation of the economy have led to the introduction of new secured international standards, such as IBAN numbers. Yet, the digitalisation of invoices is still very limited, despite a strong incentive from EU governments to democratise electronic invoicing (e-invoicing). With legal variations from country to country, and no specific legal definition for e-invoice standards, many individual formats have been developed. As a consequence, existing solutions exhibit limited compatibilities towards each other, and most of e-invoicing management eventually boils down to exporting pdf documents. Libeo, a fintech company specialised in e-invoice management, is bringing forward the first digital-native approach to e-invoicing: Universal Unique Reference (UUR). Highly compatible, UUR is designed to integrate in all existing invoice management solutions, offering prospects for the harmonisation of e-invoicing management at the European scale. It is estimated that 8bn invoices will be produced in Europe in 2019. With UUR, Libeo ambitions to tackle the global e-invoicing market, valued at €4bn and growing at a 20% rate. By making e-invoicing accessible, we will allow businesses to save time and reduce human errors, as well as facilitating the detection of invoice fraud, a practice that leads to over €150bn loss per year. This feasibility study will enable us to validate our technological ability to tackle the European e-invoicing challenge, as well as consolidating our business model in regards to the monetisation of our solution.

Rare species have long been the focus of conservation attention, but the commonness or rarity of particular characteristics or phenotypes is generally ignored. However, traits can also be rare, and evidence suggests that while rare traits tend to occur in rare species (and so are at greater risk of extinction), not all rare species have rare traits. Further, the diversity of traits present in a community (‘functional diversity’) is closely tied to its function, and so rare traits may make essential contributions to ecosystem function and health. For example, predators may be rare in a system, but act as keystone species with effects across the food web. Given the possibility that rare traits make important contributions to ecosystem products and services and given their greater risk of extinction, it is imperative to explore this question of “functional rarity”. This project will help overcome the lack of a clear definition for functional rarity, the absence of geographical information on its distribution through space and time, and the need for experimental evidence tying the loss of rare traits to effects on ecosystems. This project aims to apply a system of classification to distinguish between different forms of functional rarity to a comprehensive database of plant diversity and trait values in French permanent grasslands. This will produce one of the most comprehensive inventories showing how functional rarity varies through space and time. In addition, RAREFUNCTIONS will use microbial microcosms to test how the loss of rare traits from a community alters ecosystem function. This proposal will establish baseline knowledge on the distribution of functional rarity in French permanent grasslands, a local hotspot of biodiversity and in decline, while also answering general questions about the causes and consequences of rare traits.

Justification of relationships between foods and health is significantly limited by lack of versatile and accurate analytical tools. Metabolomics has in a few years revealed many novel food intake biomarkers but only few of these markers have been validated and applied in clinical settings. The primary aim of the proposed work at Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports (NEXS) is to identify, validate and methodologically combine a large number of biomarkers, covering broadly common foods, beverages, and supplements to provide a robust and objective tool to assess recent dietary intakes. The dietary assessment tool will be thoroughly validated through application to fully dietary controlled studies and to studies where the current subjective instruments have been applied. My new objective tool will help compliance assessment in clinical trials, observational studies and in the care of patients with food-related disorders. This is timely because all current instruments are subjective and have major flaws when applied to e.g. causes of overweight and failing dietary interventions. The host institution has a strong background in metabolomics, biomarker development, human trials and studies of weight loss and is internationally highly recognized within the nutrition area. My proposal includes several innovative features for dietary assessment and analytics and through advanced training provides me ample skills acquisition such as advanced analytical method development, data analysis, statistics, networking, project management, etc. of major importance for my research career plans.

1–2% of the developed world suffers from congestive heart failure (CHF), which is the most frequent cause of hospitalization in people aged over 65. CHF management involves medications, monitoring of fluid intake and weight, exercise and lifestyle modifications. Since most patients are elderly and suffer from co-morbidities, they have difficulty adhering to the management guidelines, which often leads to poor outcomes. The HeartMan project will develop a personal health system to help CHF patients manage their disease. Its core will be a decision support system that will provide personalised advice to the patients. Its first key feature will be evidence-based predictive models: a short-term model developed in the European project Chiron, and long-term models adapted to focus on modifiable parameters that can improve the patients' predicted outcomes. Its second key feature will be the delivery of the advice through a cognitive behavioural therapy based on cognitive dissonance. This is a proven approach that exploits the dissonance between healthy attitudes and unhealthy behaviours to improve the behaviours. It will be augmented by mindfulness exercises, which are expected to make the patients more receptive to the HeartMan's advice. The system will also feature advanced health devices and monitoring methods to understand the patients' physical and psychological state, and standard-based data management for wide interoperability. In developing the HeartMan system, a human-centred approach will be used. The resulting system will be validated in two trials, which will test its medical effectiveness and usability. The project will also have strong dissemination and exploitation. To ensure industry-standard robustness, the industrial partners will have key role in developing the prototypes, and the documentation necessary for certification as a medical device will be prepared. All the consortium will be involved in IPR management and the building of business models.

Despite many advances in earthquake science, the tendency for faults to host earthquake slip, aseismic slip or slow slip events is far from well understood. Earthquakes are not yet predictable in a meaningful way, and laboratory observations do not satisfactorily explain many general observations of fault slip. Existing data has been gathered at slip velocities orders of magnitude faster than plate convergence rates, therefore the fundamental question addressed by the PREDATORS project is how faults slip when driven tectonic rates as they are in nature. I suggest that laboratory friction experiments conducted at these rates may reveal widespread frictional instability that explains the occurrence of (both fast and slow) earthquakes on plate-boundary faults, and that long-term shear loading driven by slow, plate convergence rates is more representative of interseismic real faults and captures processes which intermediate- to high-velocity experiments cannot. The experimental research proposed here utilizes an increasing complexity approach, from existing successful techniques to more innovative measurements using equipment modified to reliably shear at appropriately slow rates and under a wide range of interior Earth conditions. Rock and mineral standards will be used to establish a basic and widely applicable framework for frictional behaviour, while natural fault samples will be used for site-specific problems. This project will provide a comprehensive set of measurements and observations of fault behaviour at realistically slow plate tectonic deformation rates. Combined with existing measurements, this will provide a complete description of rock/sediment friction over the entire possible range of slip velocities. By comparison with geophysical observations on real faults, these results will help explain current seismicity patterns and other slip phenomena, and predict fault behaviour at locations where sampling and geologic characterization is limited.

The Late Devonian (380 to 360 Myr ago) is marked by the apogee of the terrestrialisation process that consists in the establishment of complex continental ecosystems. After the invasion of land by plants, and by arthropods, it is the rise of tetrapods (four-legged vertebrates) at the end of the Devonian that will change Earth’s continental ecosystems forever. Their complete terrestrialisation is only recorded by the Carboniferous and the Late Devonian represents thus the ideal period to understand processes related to tetrapod terrestrialisation. While the taxonomic richness, the phylogenetic relationships and the paleoenvironmental settings of Devonian tetrapods are better understood yet, a serious gap remains in our knowledge of the palaeoecological context. This is a major evolutionary issue, as tetrapods obviously did not evolve in an ecological vacuum and faunal interactions must have been critical driving forces for the transition from water to land. To tackle these issues, the ‘Trophic Networks at the dawn of tetrapod Terrestrialisation’ (TNT) project focuses on the trophic relationships in eight crucial and diverse Devonian vertebrate assemblages containing tetrapods. It blends calcium isotope analyses with statistical analyses of ecomorphological characters to reconstruct the trophic position, trophic interactions, and paleoecology of Late Devonian vertebrates under different environments and climates. Because Recent trophic networks provide a comparative basis for understanding Past ecosystems, two Recent localities, with fossil analogues, are also studied in the scope of the TNT project. The TNT project aims to estimate the predation pressures exerted on tetrapods and if these pressures acted as a driving force for their terrestrialisation.
