Quantum mechanics suffer from a fundamental internal inconsistency problem usually denoted as "measurement problem". Many attempts have been made to solve it and, among them, spontaneous collapse theories are a promising way to do it. The main idea of such theories is to modify the fundamental dynamics described by quantum mechanics in such a way that this modification is practically negligible for microscopic systems but becomes more and more important with the mass of the system, providing a consistent way to describe every system ranging from microscopic to macroscopic. However, more than forty years after the introduction of spontaneous collapse models, we still do not have a satisfying relativistic spontaneous collapse model, i.e., a spontaneous collapse model compatible with special relativity in the same (or similar) way that quantum field theory makes standard quantum mechanics compatible with special relativity. The two most important spontaneous collapse theories are the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) and the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) models. The former associates spontaneous collapse to particles while the latter introduces a fundamental noise disturbing the Schrödinger dynamics of fields. Our goal is to tackle the problem of developing a relativistic collapse theory on the basis of a new kind of spontaneous collapse model proposed by the applicant in a recent publication, where it is shown that this new model behaves consistently with the GRW and CSL models in the non-relativistic regime. In this new model, collapses are not a process inherent to the particles (or fields) but to spacetime itself. By treating spacetime in a relativistic way and exploiting the formalism of quantum field theory, we hope to develop a complete relativistic spontaneous collapse model. Any advancement in this sense, even partial ones, would represent a breakthrough in the field of "Foundations of Physics".

The construction sector is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions, 50% of all extracted materials, and 35% of waste generated. TIMBERHAUS will contribute significantly to decreasing these numbers and reaching Europe’s climate policy targets by developing innovative circular solutions for sustainable wood construction. TIMBERHAUS will use the considerable expertise and innovation power of the multi-actor consortium consisting of key stakeholders across the value chain to realise the full circular and sustainable potential of wood construction. Game changing wood processing technologies based on machine learning and artificial intelligence will be developed and used in the prototyping of innovative wood construction products incorporating currently underutilized wood resources and post-consumer wood. Supporting the New European Bauhaus, holistic and circular wood building blueprints for multi-story buildings incorporating local cultural traditions and design languages as well as human health and well-being aspects will be co-created and demonstrated as digital pilots together with European cities and their stakeholders. New knowledge on the quantitative limits and opportunities of wood as a resource will be generated to give valuable input to forest and climate policy development. To support the European Commission’s framework for carbon removal certification, TIMBERHAUS will develop a robust and cost-efficient methodology to quantify the carbon removal benefits of wood construction products and other materials. A European observatory for wood construction will be established to provide best practise guidelines and monitor statistics and market uptake. Localised and EU-level decarbonisation strategies for buildings will be developed along with roadmaps for mainstreaming multi-story wood buildings. Based on project learnings, policy recommendations will be provided along with recommendations for new or updated European harmonised technical specifications and Eurocodes.

The biggest contributor to ‘global warming’ is CO2 emission by burning fossil fuels. It is feasible to achieve carbon neutrality by recycling CO2 to fuels, which has a negative carbon footprint. It is not economical to recycle CO2 under the traditional circumstances, which involve extreme conditions. (Photo)-electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using thin-film semiconductor at room temperature is promising. For CO2 reduction, molecular catalysts are beneficial, because of easy structure-function correlations, but they lack recyclability and durability. CO2 reduction catalysts will be produced by the EU-funded MolPPS project through heterogenization of molecular catalysts in porous matrix with 3D crystalline architecture. Due to heterogenization, the proposed catalyst will possess inherent activity and gain stability. MolPPS will help elucidate the principles leading to heterogeneous molecular catalyst designing. This proposal will implement two distinct heterogenization methods for iron/tin porphyrins containing carboxylic acids and hydroxyl groups into porous covalent organic framework. Porphyrins are well-known CO2 reduction catalysts. The microenvironment around porphyrins will be tweaked to tune the (photo-)electrocatalysis to produce methane and formic acid, drawing inspiration from the effects of extended coordination spheres and proton management commonly exploited by the biological enzymes. Electrochemical theories will be expanded to decipher mechanistic information, and develop catalytic models. Working for MolPPS will aid the experienced researcher achieving his goals for an independent research career by: (1) scientific training in organic synthesis and catalysis, (2) mentorship training via supervision of PhD students, (3) fund management training, and (4) develop long-lasting collaborations.

Processions were quintessentially performative acts that infused a sense of identity among the urban community by linking the emblematic topography of the city and creating performative spaces of enhanced ritual activity and distinctive auditory landscapes. The premise of Soundspace is that hermeneutic study of the procession as performance affords insight into the dynamic workings of society and the experience of urban life. It aims to go beyond this to assess the impact of urban ritual on participants and ear-witnesses through analysis of the social and cultural processes that lay behind that experience, and of the perceptual discourses that gave it meaning and significance for all those present. The procession formed a moving intersensory experience that also mobilised the emotions of the urban community: but how did this work in practice in the historical past? How can the historian enter into the performative moment to understand the emotional impact of sound in acoustic space? The project aims to interrogate the multi-faceted relationship between sound, space and society by scrutinising the interstices between collective experience, social expectations and memory through the prism of historical sound studies, an umbrella term here used to combine a cross-disciplinary approach—urban studies, sensory history and history of the emotions—and DH tools: Virtual Reality, digital cartography and semantic discourse analysis. It will forge a new theoretical framework by combining concepts of acoustic and emotional communities to analyse the social and cultural processes involved in the preparation, performance, reception and impact of the procession and the prevailing discourses that forged the significance of processional expression for the urban community. The main objective is to open up new ways to explore the impact of intangible but key features of processions such as acoustic space, soundscape competence, density of sensory experience and emotional response.

RESIST will be the first research to redefine our current legal categories of citizenship and statehood in the extreme case of sea level rise submerging the whole territory of a state. The international community has no experience in managing the disappearance of whole territorial states as a result of environmental disruptions, nor has it designed international legal norms to account for such an eventuality. In this view, RESIST first examines a real-world case, namely the unique case study of Tuvalu, where recent constitutional amendments (2023) have innovated the notion of statehood in light of the impacts of climate change or other causes resulting in loss to its physical territory. More specifically, Tuvalu is the first State to introduce a novel definition of statehood in its Constitution that does not require physical territory as a necessary condition for being recognized as an independent state. Second, it shows the shortcomings of these current legal categories in tackling present and future challenges deriving from the climate crisis and climate-induced migration in particular.Third, it develops alternative and/or broader understandings of citizenship and statehood to better cope with these challenges.Finally,it formulates policy recommendations for how to address the challenge of climate-induced migration of whole states and states that lose a significant part of their territory in a fair manner. The main goal of RESIST is to equip democracies with new conceptual and legal instruments to prevent climate emergencies from being tackled in a way that violates basic human rights. Such a goal is achieved through the following methodology: literature review and legal mapping exercise conducted through the research desk over open-access documents, collection of further contributions through a Special Issue, and semi-structured interviews conducted during a secondment in Australia at the Australian National University College of Law and fieldwork in Tuvalu.

GenderSAFE advances efforts to implement a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence in higher education and research in the European Research Area. Its overall objective is to contribute to building safe, inclusive, and respectful research and higher education. This will be realised through building capacities, mutual learning and exchange, setting up instruments to monitor the uptake and content of Research Performing Organisation (RPO) policies and promoting uptake of policies at the level of the national authorities and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs). This overall objective will be achieved through a five-fold strategy comprising: • Increasing robustness of zero-tolerance policies by building a common policy discourse in the EU reflecting state-of-the-art theoretical debates, including attention to power and intersectionality, mobility and precarity, • Facilitating the uptake and ownership of a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence policies through mutual learning, exchange, and co-design in a Community of Practice, involving multiple circles of various types of stakeholders, • Building institutional capacities to set up and implement gender-based violence policies through training of responsible staff and officers, • Creating a knowledge base on the uptake and contents of zero-tolerance policies at RPOs in the EU through a data collection and monitoring system, • Raising awareness and creating uptake through carefully designed communication, dissemination, and advocacy activities.
