Silicon technology was the key to transforming classical computing into a massive industry. Could it play a similar role in quantum computing? Silicon qubits have several attractive features and can rely on a mature industry that has already mastered the intricacies of scaling. However, while scientific advances in silicon qubit technology have been encouraging, progress has been modest on the commercial front. This is the consequence of a rift between the techniques of the semiconductor industry and the requirements of quantum computers. At Siquance, we close this gap thanks to a ground-breaking semiconductor approach: Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FDSOI) technology. FDSOI technology enables the fabrication of high-quality qubits in a scalable and reproducible manner. Now, we advance these developments to the market. This project aims at delivering an FDSOI-based quantum processor demonstrator with a novel 4X4 multi-core architecture.

ScholaResc aims at examining the academic (re)insertion of exiled scholars from the Global South and to detect what innovations they bring to their host societies. This interdisciplinary project will develop an original methodology combining network, bibliometric and biographical analysis designed to allow systematic mapping of the academic exchanges between exiled scholars and their peers in the destination countries. This toolkit will be applied to carry out an in-depth socio-historical study of the exile of Brazilian scholars in France after the military coup of 1964. This original investigation of an understudied case of academic rescue with long-lasting intellectual legacies contributes to the research agenda on the international circulation of knowledge and global intellectual history, as well as to the fields of Latin-American, exile, and migration network studies. Moreover, it sheds light on contemporary trends and challenges arising from the inclusion of exiled scholars into host societies. This topic is particularly timely and relevant because of the significant growth of threats to academic freedom in the past decade. The methodology developed for this research will be openly shared with the civil society organizations and policymakers currently engaged in helping academics at risk. Intersectoral dialogues with these organizations will lead to the adaptation of the tools to the study of current cases of scholar integration and to the dissemination of the findings of the research, thus contributing to promote a more inclusive and diverse science and society. ScholaResc will be carried at the interdisciplinary Laboratoire d’Économie et de Sociologie du Travail (LEST) affiliated to the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Aix-Marseille University (AMU).

Microbial production of plant metabolites has economic & environmental benefits over traditional extraction and chemical methods. Despite initial progress & the successful market introduction of some molecules, the microbial production of oxygenated plant metabolites (OPMs) mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) is still lagging, making them almost inaccessible to society. In contrast, artificial intelligence (AI) & machine learning (ML) tools are evolving rapidly, but their use for engineering biology is still underexplored. deCYPher applies these groundbreaking AI/ML techniques to unlock the OPM molecules to society. deCYPher develops a standardised AI/ML pipeline to implement AI/ML in each step of the Design-Build-Test-Learn cycle, and across all steps in the biotech value chain. Combined with smart databases & synthetic biology (SynBio) tools, this AI/ML pipeline will generate opportunities for the whole biotech sector. Specifically, applied to OPMs, we (1) bioprospect & select specific CYPs, (2) correctly localise & express CYPs and (3) optimise the microbial cells & bioprocess. deCYPher involves stakeholders (industry, regulators, NGOs) and engages European citizens across several countries. This allows to reflect on the societal ramifications of the convergence of AI & SynBio. The consortium brings together complementary expertise from 5 top RTOs, 3 SMEs, 1 LE & 1 bio-art association from 6 EU countries to unlock the full potential of OPMs. In parallel, deCYPher will enable the AI/ML sector to apply their tools in the biotech sector, by creating new production tools for industrial biotech and specifically impact industry (flavours & fragrances, phytonutrient) and society with novel products. deCYPher contributes to the EU green deal, supports the transition to a circular bioeconomy, increases resource efficiency, strengthens European competitiveness, innovates in a responsible and reflective manner & boosts sustainability of biobased value chains.

Why do some skilled middle-class individuals from unstable countries leave, while others with similar profiles stay? How does the constant flow of digital information shape migration aspirations? These questions drive the main objectives of MIDSCAPES: (i) to identify migration and stay patterns among Türkiye's middle class, (ii) to explore the role of digital space in spreading migration related information, and (iii) to measure social media's impact on migration aspirations using innovative methods. This project integrates the aspirations-(cap)abilities framework with digital migration studies, enriching both fields by focusing on stay aspirations, social stratification and social media. Focusing on both the sending and receiving ends of migration MIDSCAPES is empirically innovative. The empirical focus on potential and actual migrants from Türkiye to Canada is both timely and relevant. Türkiye serves as a critical case for understanding how middle-class individuals with globally marketable skills respond to structural uncertainties. Canada, a key global destination for highly skilled migrants, is known for its welcoming yet complex selection and admission mechanisms, utilising immigration as a tool for middle-class nation-building. MIDSCAPES embraces a multi-sited and mixed-method approach employing three main data collection methods. 1. in-depth interviews with recent migrants, potential migrants and stayers, 2. digital ethnography, 3. surveys including survey experiments with potential migrants and stayers. These methods are crafted to unpack the complexity of spatial and social mobility aspirations among potential migrants and stayers from middle-class backgrounds. The findings will have implications for key policy and societal challenges: (1) high income countries’ interest in attracting and retaining skilled workforce, (2) middle-income countries’ struggles with “brain drain”, and (3) digital information flows shaping (migration) decision-making.

Despite widespread recognition of social, economic, or environmental health determinants, health action remains heavily dominated by individual-level solutions (e.g., medication, patient counselling, vaccination). This proposal aims to stimulate changes in health system functioning by demonstrating how the cocreation of actions to address psychological well-being, cardiovascular health, and antimicrobial resistance from within the community can alleviate the burden on primary care services, reduce medicalisation and increase health equity. The scientific approach uses mixed methods and incorporates theory from multiple disciplines. We will appraise how the current system addresses psychological well-being, cardiovascular health, and rational use of antibiotics using a population survey, a survey of patients collecting their medication at community pharmacies, aggregate health service indicators on medication consumption and primary care consultations, and qualitative methods exploring stakeholders’ perceptions. We will undertake community-based participatory research to engage citizen scientists in the cocreation of community-led actions to promote psychological well-being, cardiovascular health, and prevent antimicrobial resistance. The design, implementation, and evaluation of the actions will apply an assets-based approach and apply theories and frameworks from implementation science in an iterative manner over 3 years. Finally, we will analyse the impact of the cocreated actions, considering effectiveness and broader contextual issues such as initiative adoption, implementation, and maintenance. This will use a before-after comparison of survey indicators, an interrupted time-series analysis of health service data and qualitative analysis. The goal is to demonstrate how the integration of community action with attention to the social determinants of health, can lead to a more rational approach to health care and ultimately improve health and health equity.

This project revisits the centrality of trade agreements as a mechaniThis project revisits the centrality of trade agreements as a mechanism for international cooperation. Intervention in international trade and investment increasingly is motivated by noneconomic objectives – fighting climate change, national security, safeguarding societal values – complementing economic competitiveness objectives. Multilateral agreements to reduce associated competitiveness spillovers are constrained by geopolitical and geoeconomic rivalry, as are trade agreements that span the major powers. States have begun to pursue cooperation on a smaller group, plurilateral, basis. These differ from trade agreements by focusing on specific policy areas and potentially being open to many countries. Research has devoted little attention to understanding the operation, impacts, and political economy of plurilateral integration initiatives. The project aims to fill this gap through conceptual analysis of the incentives to cooperate on a plurilateral basis, building multi-country panel datasets documenting the use and purported goal of trade, investment, and industrial policies, and empirical analysis of the economic incentives for plurilateral cooperation on trade/investment and regulatory policies, assessing tradeoffs between noneconomic and economic objectives and the size and incidence of cross-border spillovers associated with policies favoring domestic industries or discriminating against foreign producers. In-depth case studies of domain-specific plurilateral initiatives will investigate effectiveness in attaining stated objectives and reducing spillover costs of national policy instruments. These analyses are complemented by survey-based research to investigate the preferences of key actors and stakeholders for issue-specific plurilateral agreements as opposed to trade agreements. A synthesis monograph will distil the implications of resulting findings for the multilateral trade regime.

The full-range energy band matching (FEBM) photo-recharged Zn metal batteries (PRZMBs) that can convert solar energy into electrochemical energy in one step are considered a totally clean energy system, which can not only avoid the usage of harmful substances (Cr, Pb, etc.) in solar cells and reduce the usage of fossil fuels but also reduce the cost of large-scale power grids. In this proposal, based on low-cost, environmentally friendly aqueous zinc metal batteries, a modified MoS2 material (m-MoS2) will be employed as a photocathode by O substitution for partial S to increase the layer spacing and improve the electrochemical activity of m-MoS2 (WP1). The electrochemical reaction process and kinetics will be studied by the precise control of the structure, morphologies, and O contents in m-MoS2 to realize the aim of a capacity improvement of 100 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 compared with original MoS2. Subsequently, a precursor solid method will be employed to synthesize the m-MoS2/fCNTs composites with a covalent bonding interface, which can avoid structural collapse during the cycling process and effectively improve the reversibility, and finally to realize the goal of operation time over 1000 hours (WP1). Based on the tunability of layered MoS2, the relations between layers, O contents of m-MoS2, and energy band structure will be studied to provide the foundation for the FEBM process. Finally, based on the results from WP1-2, the energy band changes of m-MoS2 during cycling will be studied to screen out the proper energy band range of m-MoS2 to construct a FEBM photoelectrode. In addition, the relationship between the photogenerated charge and the electrochemical reaction mechanism (reaction kinetics, intercalation/phase conversion, and capacitive behavior) will be investigated to finally realize a high-performance PRZMB with high power/energy densities by increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency and photo-charging rate over 10% and 30 mA g-1.

Today, the main research trends in decentralized personal health monitoring (PDHM) are on monitoring at longer periods, reducing motion artefacts, and multimodal monitoring. PERSIMMON will push the state-of-the-art by providing personalized and biodegradable multimodal smart sensor patches based on low-cost additive manufacturing. The innovations introduced by PERSIMMON rely on new sensor materials, AI, and digital surface mount technology (SMT). The developed patches will be used in multinodal networks with multimodal nodes on the skin for advanced DPHM, with improved sustainability and circularity. Cloud-based AI sensor fusion will be used for blood pressure and body temperature monitoring, and edge-AI for reducing motion artefacts, selecting good signal conditions, and reduce power consumption at the smart patch. In addition, PERSIMMON will develop new sensor materials for biodegradability, sensor electrodes, and nano-MOS embedded in semi-permeable materials (that will allow gas sensors on the skin with both extended lifetime in multiuse modules and at extreme low cost in disposables). Within 48 months and with the involvement of 13 partners from six countries, PERSIMMON will demonstrate remote DPHM in sport use cases of ski mountaineering and swimming, and in continuous remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in their everyday lives. A production line for additive manufacturing of soft and compliant printed wiring boards based on digital SMT manufacturing, and a 5G gateway for body worn IoT will be demonstrated and made as business cases. The used water-soluble biopolymers and liquid metal interconnects and contacts remove microplastics waste and allow for reuse of clean components and recycled metal without high-temperature or toxic processing. Life cycle analysis, societal uptake, acceptance, and compliance to a circular economy are indeed at the methodological basis of the design and development of new devices and of the appliance tests in PERSIMMON.
