Europe is currently in a transition away from its dependency on Russian gas towards a fully renewable, reliable, and low-cost energy system by 2050. To achieve this target, large-scale renewable energy projects are essential. However, the transition is limited by several factors such as onshore space availability to deploy GW-scale projects, supply chain disruptions, and concerns from various stakeholders around visual pollution and space use. Offshore floating PV (OFPV) can deliver hundreds of GWs in Europe by 2050 while resolving above challenges. In areas with a fast-expanding offshore wind sector (e.g. North Sea), OFPV can be combined with wind inside multi-source farms. This enables the extraction of up to 9x more energy per km2 and better utilization of the infrastructure due to 10-20% more full-load hours, while leaving space for other stakeholders as fewer wind parks and electrical infrastructure are needed for the same amount of electricity production. In parts of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea with low wind resources, also stand-alone OFPV can help to achieve high penetration of renewable energy. Nautical SUNRISE will remove the last barriers of OFPV to deliver these benefits. A 5 MW grid-connected, multi-year offshore demonstration of a highly competitive OFPV system and its components inside a commercial wind farm will provide the trust needed for the upscaling of the technology. Prior to the demonstration, its technical reliability will be validated in the most extreme conditions through laboratory measurements, wave-wind tank tests, and modelling studies. The cost reduction achieved through design improvements will be quantified in concrete business cases and should enable an LCOE of <148 €/MWh, making OFPV financially viable. Additionally, the measurement campaign at the OFPV demonstration, large-scale environmental modelling, and life-cycle assessment including circularity will help to understand the overall effect on the environment.

The Cultural Heritage (CH) sector, including institutions such as Galleries, Libraries, Museums and Archives (GLAMs), is facing an increasing pressure to digitise their collections in order to make them more accessible to the public. REEVALUATE project aims to address the challenges faced by the Cultural Heritage (CH) sector in digitising their collections, by developing a framework for safe, open, collaborative and inclusive digitisation of CH. The framework will provide a structured approach for managing digitisation efforts in a responsible and sustainable way, with a focus on addressing potential risks and barriers related to issues such as intellectual property rights, cultural sensitivity, and appropriate use of digital technologies. The framework is designed to be participatory, inclusive, and co-creative, which means that it involves the active participation of stakeholders such as cultural heritage institutions, experts, and diverse communities. This approach helps to ensure that the framework is tailored to the specific needs and contexts of the cultural heritage sector in Europe and that it is widely accepted and adopted by relevant stakeholders. REEVALUATE will validate the results in 3 different real-life use cases, demonstrating the framework's ability to manage the challenges associated with digitization of CH artefacts and their reuse within 1) the Fashion and Gaming industries, 2) the Advertising industry and 3) the Tourism industry. To achieve this, the project relies on a consortium of 16 partners from 7 countries, bringing together key actors of the European CH and Digitisation Sectors: CH technical and business stakeholders, multiple key communities from (Gaming, Fashion, Advertising and Tourism Sectors), key experts in Legal and SSH aspects to guarantee legal and societal compliance, and facilitators on CH community building and standardisation activities to accelerate the transfer to the market.

The increasing volume and type of chemicals produced worldwide every year have the potential to cause severe ecosystem and human health problems. However, due to largely insufficient information regarding the identities, properties, and emissions of these substances, it is challenging to obtain a complete picture of global chemical pollution to aid in development and implementation of effective regulations. Despite the Arctic being pristine and distantly isolated from human activities, Arctic sediments function as a receptor for contaminants that are transported over long distances. Being ubiquitous far away from sources and in the Arctic requires that a chemical is sufficiently persistent, amenable to long-range transport (LRT), and produced in reasonably large quantities. Therefore, it is hypothesized that Arctic sediments can serve as a natural indicator to identify flaws or inefficiencies in current chemical legislation and prioritize persistent chemicals that require further regulation. The overarching aim of this project is to use state-of-the-art mass spectrometric tools together with high Arctic sediments to identify persistent contaminants of global concern, and then apply advanced statistical and modeling approaches to further understand their emission sources and LRT. This analysis will be used to: (a) Prioritize persistent contaminants of emerging concern based on increasing temporal trends recorded in dated sediment cores; (b) Identify major emission regions by analyzing the spatial heterogeneity of contaminants among circum-Arctic shelf surface sediments; (c) Identify dominant LRT pathways by comparing the chemical compositions of Arctic lake sites affected solely by atmospheric LRT versus marine sites impacted by mixed pathways. Results of this project will generate new knowledge on emission sources and transport of persistent chemicals of global concern while providing scientific guidance to improve chemical management and regulation policies.

High-throughput next-generation sequencing has revolutionized healthcare. Nevertheless, widespread adoption remains hindered by a trade-off between clinically relevant turnaround times and cost-effectiveness. This trade-off arises from the limitations of sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) chemistry and traditional optical readout architectures. To address this, integrated parallel readout on a CMOS imager is the preferred technology – as opposed to free space microscope scanners. However, size and number of pixels pose a critical limit on throughput. A novel technology developed in the IROCSIM ERC StG presents a unique solution by enabling sub-pixel resolution readout, leading to orders of magnitude increase in read density per pixel—unlocking the 1 billion-plus reads range. It monolithically integrates an imager with filters and photonic-integrated-circuit-generated, IP protected, structured illumination patterns. This project aims to demonstrate the commercial and technical potential of this technology for sequencing applications. This innovation could be a fundamental breakthrough in a longstanding bottleneck in sequencing products.

The current Copernicus snow water equivalent (SWE) service lacks coverage in mountains and the southern hemisphere. The SNOWCOP addresses this gap by proposing an innovative re-analysis approach that assimilate the data from the Copernicus program into a physically based snow model. SNOWCOP will produce high-resolution maps of SWE and ice melt rates. The maps, which are produced for the last 20+ years over the extra-tropical Andes, will have a spatial resolution of 50 m and a daily temporal resolution. SNOWCOP will leverage on the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) platform to perform the processing directly where the data is stored. SNOWCOP commits to open science making all results and code available. SNOWCOP will push the use of EGNSS technology to power snow station able to measure simultaneously SWE and liquid water content (LWC). The overall aim of SNOWCOP is to improve the quantification of meltwater from snow and ice in the Andes by unlocking the full potential of EU Copernicus Data and Infrastructure through four specific objectives: -Develop and evaluate new SWE and ice melt reanalysis datasets. -Promote the use of CDSE to foster innovation and excellence in the development of Copernicus solutions. -Raise awareness of Copernicus and EGNSS technologies among water management stakeholders. -Attract investment for developing innovative water management solutions. By achieving these objectives SNOWCOP is expected to open an innovative window for stakeholders, showcasing meltwater resources in the Andes and beyond with unprecedented spatial and temporal detail. By harnessing the power of Copernicus data and infrastructure, and developing innovative processing tools, the project unlocks the accessibility of such information to all the interested users. This empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions about water resource management, open new marketing opportunities for SME and significantly impacting human well-being in mountainous regions.

Optical absorption signatures of single cells in blood have an immense diagnostic value. In the visible wavelength range, the signatures of intrinsically absorbing cells can inform on pathophysiological aberration such as disorders of red blood cells or melanoma. However, high-throughput readout of single cells absorption signatures via purely optical concepts still requires advanced, expensive and bulky optical technologies such as high-speed cameras, which impedes cost-effective mass-production, miniaturization and parallelization. In my ERC, we introduced point source optimized interdigital transducers (IDTs) for the readout of optoacoustic signals after visible light excitation. Such IDTs are fully integrated in a microfluidic chip and readily mass-producible in wafer format. With this device, we showed the principal possibility to detect signals from melanoma cells and red blood cells. Combined with cheap and miniature laser diodes, our innovative readout technology offers a versatile, affordable and accessible device for high-throughput readout of cellular absorption signatures for diagnostics, suitable for distributed healthcare applications. Building on our published initial proof-of-principle from my ERC in SAW2See, we will thoroughly assess the technological capabilities and pave the way towards commercialization.

MOEBHIOS (Multi-attribute values’ OntologiEs to improve Built Heritage InformatiOn assessment in cluStered territories) aim is to develop an innovative Value-Based Decision-Making approach on historical Built Heritage on the cross-border contexts of clustered territories. The improvement of Information Systems for territorial geo-mapping with Multi-attributes Values from Social Sciences fields will be pursued, developing advanced Information Ontologies specifically suited for landscape and Built Heritage. The project is tested on the pilot case study of historical Built Heritage in Palestine, assuming a key example of complex heritage ecosystem at the territorial scale envying societal and landscape developing programs, similar to other contexts at European borders. To achieve the goal, the research project provides a path of theoretical studies, on-field direct training and practical activities (social surveys, technical dialogue sessions) for the collection of data concepts and logical structures referring to 4 main macro-areas concerning Built Heritage analysis: social, archaeological, economic and cultural fields. The researcher will participate to a creative research & training program across Europe and Middle East, in contact with excellent research laboratories and chairs in Cultural Heritage social (Palestine) and economic (Germany) fields. The researcher will re-integrate the advanced social sciences skills to Architectural and Built Heritage research, considering the horizon of digital practices of documentation and 3D modelling experimented at the beneficiary sending institution (Italy). The scientific quality of resulting Information Ontologies for historical Built Heritage is envisaged by development agencies for territorial governance and the strengthen of local communities in Third Countries, fostering the establishment of good-practices and standard protocols on dynamic representation and monitoring of tangible Heritage through EU and above.

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms produce toxins that are a major threat to water quality and human health. Blooms increase with eutrophication and are expected to be amplified by climate change. Yet, we lack a mechanistic understanding on the toxicity of blooms, and their response to the complex interplay of multiple global change factors. Bloom toxicity is determined by a combination of mechanisms acting at different ecological scales, ranging from cyanobacterial biomass accumulation in the ecosystem, to the dominance of toxic species in the community, contribution of toxic genotypes in the population, and the amounts of toxins in cells. I will develop a fundamental understanding of bloom toxicity by revealing the combined effects of nutrients, elevated pCO2 and warming at each scale, and integrate these responses using a unique combination of ecological theory, technological advances, and methodological innovations. Specifically, I will use first principles to scale from cellular traits, like carbon and nutrient acquisition, cellular toxin synthesis and growth rates, to population and community dynamics. To enable rapid assessment of numerous cyanobacterial traits, I will set-up a high-throughput flow-cytometry pipeline. Also, I will develop a novel lab-on-a-chip experimental platform to allow massive parallel screening of key competitive traits in various phytoplankton species and cyanobacterial genotypes. To scale from these cellular traits to population and community interactions, I will study genotype selection and interspecific resource competition in state-of-the-art chemostats. I will further scale-up to natural communities in the field and in large-scale indoor mesocosms to assess global change impacts on the mechanisms underlying toxicity of (near) real-life blooms. With this unique combination of scaling approaches, I will provide a breakthrough in our mechanistic understanding on the toxicity of cyanobacterial blooms, and their response to global change.

This proposal aims to understand, through the conceptual lens of home, tenants’ and landlords’ practices in ‘hidden’ private rental sectors, where informal transactions increase risks and hide vulnerability away from state regulatory gaze - as the Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly exposed across much of the globe. Taking the post-communist context as an example of an emerging and hidden PRS and drawing on a specific view of home as assemblage of materials, money, relations and affects, this research project aims to: Understand a hidden social world, by asking why tenants and landlords engage in the sector, whether their practices permit making a private tenancy home, and how they construct ideas of power, risk and trust; Nuance existing concepts of space and propose new concepts of time as they unfold in a privately rented home; Inform the national and international debate on PRS regulation. To achieve its aims, the proposal takes a qualitative multi-disciplinary approach, creating synergies between methods developed from meta-ethnography (critical interpretative synthesis), sociology and visual studies (qualitative questionnaires and photo-elicitation interviews), and public policy (scenario building). Through its focus on rental housing, a mechanism that generates important inequalities of wealth, health and wellbeing, the project aligns with the European Union strategy of creating a more resilient and inclusive society, and its concern for addressing inequalities.

TUMAGOSTIC will advance the development of CP-506, a next-generation Hypoxia Activated Prodrug (HAP) for the treatment of hypoxic tumours, representing over 50% of all solid tumours. CP-506 overcomes the limitations of previous HAP development attempts and can provide more targeted treatment compared with alternatives such as chemo-immunotherapy combination and PARPi. Our approach, combining CP-506 with improved patient targeting based on two AI-driven biomarkers (tumour hypoxia and Homologous Recombination Defect), has high potential to increase the effectiveness of standard of care therapies such as immunotherapy (IO) in combination therapy (prodrug-IO) and improve patients’ progression free survival and quality of life in several cancer types. We aim to advance CP-506 towards commercialization by carrying out a phase I-IIa clinical trial and corresponding business development activities, paving the way for a licensing agreement with the potential to exceed €450M.
