SOS2030, aligns with the EU Biodiversity Strategy's ambitious 30x30 target, aiming to protect 30% of EU oceans by 2030. Despite the global push for marine conservation, the target of designating 10% of EU seas as strictly Protected Areas remains elusive, highlighting the urgent need for more effective strategies, especially when near 500 million people depend on small-scale fisheries for their livelihoods. SOS2030 sets out to address the shortcomings of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Europe. Many MPAs, though legally designated, fall short of achieving their conservation goals, earning them the term "paper parks." Against the backdrop of no standardized assessment methodologies and limited enforcement of MPAs, SOS2030 follows a threefold approach. Firstly, comprehensively assess and map the number of paper parks that are in EU waters that are at least 10 years old, diverse in terms of geography and with a management plan. Secondly, SOS2030 creates an Assessment Tool to identify and evaluate paper parks, bridging the gap in methodology and considering ecological, social, institutional, and economic factors contributing to paper parks. Thirdly, a documentary showcasing three ineffective MPAs will harness the power of scientific communication to amplify the voices of coastal communities living within paper parks. It will recognize the critical role of small-scale fisheries and youth, among others, empowering them and encouraging public engagement in marine governance and environmental decision-making. SOS2030 deliverables, i.e., database, assessment tool, roundtables, multilingual documentary, newspaper and website, holistically present for the first time the common elements, behaviours and patterns that are found in paper parks. This will yield tools and lessons learned of which coastal communities and policymakers in the EU and around the world can spot a paper park and how it can be avoided in both the present and future to build a more sustainable livelihood.

Power Electronics is enabling radical transformation in the power grid and, in particular, it is opening the opportunity for a massive application of DC technology. DC technology will increase the overall flexibility and efficiency of the infrastructure. Nevertheless, this innovation comes with challenges in terms of interoperability when we consider networks with multi-vendors. The concrete case of off-shore wind farms is then the starting point for the transformation. READY4DC will create the right conditions to establish a community of experts that will discuss all the implications of the process both from a technical and a legal perspective. Thanks to the work of a set of working groups with open participation, position papers will be produced to create the proper conditions for consensus paving the way towards changes in the regulation and in the legal framework. The results of this work will impact not only the off-shore use cases but, in principle, all the application of power electronics driven grids and at every voltage level, determining a very important step towards a futuristic infrastructure in which DC will play a central role at every level.

MALDIBANK: A Comprehensive Solution to Microbial Challenges In an era marked by pressing environmental and health challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, global epidemics, and food security, understanding and leveraging the power of microbes is critical. Microbes, fundamental to the biosphere, impact everything from ecosystem dynamics to human health. However, their vast diversity remains largely underestimated. To harness this potential, precise identification of microorganisms is crucial, especially given their varied implications across different sectors. Over the past 15 years, MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometry (MS) has revolutionized microbial identification in fields such as clinical microbiology, food safety, environmental monitoring, and sustainable agriculture. Despite its transformative potential, MALDI-TOF MS technology has been underutilized outside clinical microbiology. MALDIBANK emerges as a groundbreaking initiative to extend the reach of this technology, providing innovative solutions for understanding and utilizing microbial diversity for global problem-solving. MALDIBANK is conceptualized as a global, cloud-based, open MALDI spectra databank for the identification of microorganisms, combining a vast spectrum database with advanced algorithmic tools. This databank will facilitate processing, characterization, epidemiological surveillance, and more, embodying Open Science and FAIR data principles. It aims to become a new reference in microbial identification, drawing parallels with the impact of GenBank in genomics. By integrating 100,000 reference spectra with rich metadata and employing deep learning models, MALDIBANK will enhance microbial characterization and support areas like antimicrobial resistance prediction and environmental monitoring. It will serve as a dynamic resource for the global scientific community, enabling the exploration of microbial capabilities an

The diffusion of particles such as electrons, photons, ions, and molecules in substances represents a basic phenomenon in the universe. By manual control of the diffusion of these particles, a directional transport can be achieved, enabling the invention of electricity, fiber-optic communication and desalination. The pursuit of more powerful control over transporting processes constitutes a foundation for technology evolution. This is exactly what this project aims to do. The co-transport of multiple species in a single substance is typically prohibited in nature. This because different species have their own preferable transport environments, which are markedly disparate from one another. Optimizing the transport environment for different species in one material is therefore a great challenge, and the efforts of doing so often leads to undesired outcomes, such as trade-offs or even annihilation effects. However, the co-transport of multiple species is a necessity in technologies like electrolysis. Thus, a fundamental innovation in material science is needed to address the problem of simultaneous diffusions. In COFActiveCO2, I will use reticular chemistry to construct macromolecular type framework materials with compartmentalized multi-channels for mixed transport. The project will realize unprecedentedly control over the simultaneous transport of electrons, ions and molecules, to achieve intercalated nano-flows at high flux. As a result, a large contact between hybrid nano-flows will greatly facilitate the chemical kinetics in electrochemical processes. The implementation of membrane reactors with such design will enable significant upgrade in the electrochemical conversion efficiency of working electrodes in CO2 electrolysis technology, thus paving the way for a sustainable future.

Tight co-evolutionary interactions of bacteria and their viruses, termed bacteriophages or phages, lead to continuous selection towards adaptation of the host and counter-adaptations of the parasite. Studying this evolutionary arms race resulted in discovering multiple sophisticated defense mechanisms of bacteria, such as CRISPR-Cas and restriction-modification systems. However, the diversity and mechanisms of action of counter-defense strategies of phages remain largely unknown. In this proposal, I will address this problem. The pan-genome of the phages is proposed to encode for proteins with counter-defense function. I will test this hypothesis using the largest, fully genome sequenced virus-host interaction network to date treasured in the host lab. I will combine comparative population genomics with computational biology, classical molecular genetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. This approach will allow me to address my research objectives: (1) to identify counter-defense proteins of the phages, (2) validate the counter-defense properties, and (3) determine at which stage of phage infection the counter-defense occurs. This research will allow me to elucidate the diversity of previously unknown counter defense strategies of phages and expand our knowledge of their mechanism of action. Importantly, my approach shifts the paradigm of studying bacterial defense systems and the escape mechanism of phages and will open up many novel avenues in bacterial immunity and microbial population genomics. Implementation of the proposed project will enhance my proficiency by improving and diversifying my experimental and computational science skills and boosting my transferable skills, such as scientific communication and writing, project management, and networking. This altogether will improve my competitiveness and potential on the way to an independent career. Thus, the proposal corresponds well with the aims of the Work Programme.

Low regularity dynamics are used for describing various physical and biological phenomena near criticality. The low regularity comes from singular (random) noise or singular (random) initial value. The first example is Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) used for describing random growing interfaces (KPZ equation) and the dynamic of the euclidean quantum field theory (stochastic quantization). The second concerns dispersive PDEs with random initial data which can be used for understanding wave turbulence. A recent breakthrough is the resolution of a large class of singular SPDEs through the theory of Regularity Structures invented by Martin Hairer. Such resolution has been possible thanks to the help of decorated trees and their Hopf algebras structures for organising different renormalisation procedures. Decorated trees are used for expanding solutions of these dynamics. The aim of this project is to enlarge the scope of resolution given by decorated trees and their Hopf algebraic structures. One of the main ideas is to develop algebraic tools by the mean of algebraic deformations. We want to see the Hopf algebras used for SPDEs as deformation of those used in various fields such as numerical analysis and perturbative quantum field theory. This is crucial to work in interaction with these various fields in order to get the best result for singular SPDEs and dispersive PDEs. We will focus on the following long-term objectives: - Give a notion of existence and uniqueness of quasilinear and dispersive SPDEs. - Derive a general framework for discrete singular SPDEs. - Develop algebraic structures for singular SPDEs in connection with numerical analysis, perturbative quantum field theory and rough paths. - Use decorated trees for dispersive PDEs with random initial data and derive systematically wave kinetic equations in Wave Turbulence. - Develop a software platform for decorated trees and their Hopf algebraic structures.

The project "Between London, Cyprus, and Palestine: Waste History in the British Eastern Mediterranean" (BLOCYP) aims to uncover the origins of waste treatment policies in the region. It is the first comprehensive waste history study in the modern Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on Cyprus and Palestine as case studies. It examines sanitary challenges faced by Mediterranean cities under British rule during their rapid urbanization between the 1920s and 1940s. The project investigates five major cities: Nicosia and Famagusta (Colonial Cyprus), Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Jaffa (British Mandate of Palestine), allowing for various comparisons between countries, capital cities, and port cities. BLOCYP tackles three key issues: British sanitary policy regarding urban waste treatment, adaptation of sanitary solutions to local conditions and needs, and the role of British networks in spreading sanitary ideology and knowledge. The research will facilitate a deeper understanding of British colonial sanitary perceptions and their local applications. Thus, it is a valuable case study for territories worldwide that underwent British rule. Additionally, it illuminates how global events such as wars and economic crises have influenced local waste treatment practices. The project will utilize archival materials from Nicosia, Jerusalem, and London. BLOCYP will contribute to three historical branches: environmental history, political history, and history of expert networks. It will shed light on the roots of modern waste pollution, examine if the type of territory – permanent colony or temporary mandate – influenced British sanitation policy, and explore the migration of sanitary knowledge between Europe and the Mediterranean. Just as our approach toward waste reflects our way of living and values, it was the same a century ago. Therefore, a key objective of this project is to raise public awareness of the need for improving environmental citizenship by learning from the past.

Basquevolt, a spin-off from CIC energiGUNE founded in June 2022, is pioneering the world's first commercial solid-state battery technology. Basquevolt's key innovation revolves around our revolutionary gel polymer electrolyte, which is called to disrupt the electric vehicle battery industry. Today, the EU's 2035 CO2 emissions targets for the automotive sector are already under threat due to the high costs, limited energy density, safety concerns and environmental impact of current Li-ion batteries. Therefore, a 100% European alternative is urgently needed, which not only overcomes the limitations of Li-ion batteries, but also allows Europe to keep its historical leadership in the automotive sector while strengthening its technological sovereignty. Basquevolt's gel polymer electrolyte allows our solid-state battery technology to go beyond the state-of-the-art by solving the main technological barriers that have hindered the commercialisation of solid-state batteries until now. Our unique electrolyte formulations have resulted in a next-generation battery technology fully protected by 19 patents, which offers higher energy densities, longer driving ranges, faster charging times and enhanced safety and sustainability. On top of that our battery manufacturing process is highly compatible with the production equipment of Li-ion battery gigafactories, is less energy-intensive and less CAPEX intensive, demands less raw materials and has a lower CO2 footprint. With this EICA project, we will accelerate the optimisation of our electrolyte formulation, validate our technology with battery manufacturers and scale up electrolyte production to a commercial scale. Basquevolt's technology will not only boost the European production of cheaper, more sustainable and higher-performing batteries compared to conventional Li-ion batteries, but also make it possible for the first time for European electric vehicles to be as affordable and useful as traditional internal combustion cars.
