Coastal zones can be characterized as biodiversity-rich ecosystems and places rich in cultural heritage. They host important economic modern activities either inland or in water, providing opportunities for the generation of renewable energies and tourism. In particular, for Europe, the coastal regions are tremendously significant for its economy, as approximately 40% of the EU's population lives within 50 km of the sea while almost 40% of the EU's GDP is generated in these maritime regions, and a staggering 75% of the volume of the EU's foreign trade is conducted by sea. However, the natural dynamic landscape of the coastal zones and the complexity of interests make many local communities vulnerable to hazards, including climate change effects. These factors create a unique, constantly evolving, and challenging environment, sharing elements from deep-water investigations and dry land surveys. Therefore, novel methodologies have to develop to map and monitor these areas and adjusted for operational use to the specific conditions and socio-economic environment of each case study. The COASTLINE project aspires to promote innovative international, inter-sectoral, and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation aspects dealing with monitoring coastal zone environments through geoscience and remote sensors. It aims to establish new and improved methods and protocols for documenting and analyzing the coastal zones in selected case studies (coastal zones) of Europe. It will bring together partners from the academia /research institutions with the business sector in order to share knowledge, ideas, and infrastructures for delivering novel methodologies regarding the use of remote sensors, such as satellite observations (including the Copernicus Programme with the Sentinels' mission), ground geophysical prospections and Geographical Information Systems along with spatial statistics.

The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impacts of recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the green transition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities under recent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees of urbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIn inquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutions towards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts a comparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design. A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanization will provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimes and environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housing initiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulate recommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.

China’s increasing presence in Africa through the Belt and Road Initiative has raised concerns about the development, governance, and foreign policy implications of Chinese-financed, Chinese-built infrastructure projects. At a time in which the European Union is putting African infrastructure investments at the centre of its Global Gateway initiative, my INFRAFRICA project— a comparative study of foreign-financed and foreign-built infrastructure in Africa: perspective from Ethiopia and Angola—expands current knowledge about foreign engagement in the African infrastructure sector. By taking the infrastructure sectors of Ethiopia and Angola as case studies, INFRAFRICA aims to contribute to three interconnected debates. First, the project evaluates the impact of foreign construction firms’ operations on the host countries’ economies. To do so, INFRAFRICA explores and compares the behaviours of Chinese firms with other foreign infrastructure firms at the micro level through critically evaluating the formation of local economic linkages. Second, INFRAFRICA explores the modalities of foreign engagement in the two African countries by investigating ways in which African state and nonstate actors negotiate with, accommodate, and contest foreign actors involved in the financing and building of infrastructure projects. Third, through exploring the political, institutional, economic, and legal contexts of the two countries, INFRAFRICA identifies the barriers that shape the negotiation, implementation, and outcomes of foreign-financed and foreign-built infrastructure projects in Africa. In carrying out my research, I will be based at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute, where I will work under the supervision of Professor Bernard Hoekman.

Many processes in nature and industry are intricately linked to the structure-function relationship of molecules, which optical stimuli can profoundly alter. Chemists and physicists have long sought to unravel the ultrafast structural changes of photochemical reactions. Using two short pulses with precisely synchronized time delays, a series of snapshots of the evolving electronic and molecular structures at various reaction times can be collected, analogous to assembling frames in a video. Measuring coupled electronic-nuclear dynamics remains a formidable challenge due to the small time, energy and spatial scales involved. State-of-the-art ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) techniques excel in molecular structure retrieval, but the critical signatures stemming from simultaneous transformations in electronic structure remain elusive, as several molecular reaction channels overlap and cannot be separated with current imaging technologies. My goal is to pioneer a novel time- and energy-resolved electron scattering (TERES) method for real-time monitoring of coupled electronic-nuclear dynamics in photochemical reactions by energy-resolving UED. TERES will experimentally separate and identify electron scattering signals arising from different electronic structures of excited molecules (e.g., in different excited states) while preserving molecular structure information, comprehensively mapping the potential energy surfaces involved at different reaction times – capabilities significantly exceeding current UED technology. Successful realization of TERES promises to usher in a new era in photochemistry, unveiling hidden aspects of chemical reactivity.

Understanding the relationship between the structure of drug formulations and their function is of utmost importance for the prediction of treatment outcome. This has become highly apparent from the recent development of lipid nanoparticle-based vaccines to prevent COVID infections. It has also become clear that many questions remain which require a robust approach to this exciting field of nanomedicine. This project aims at precisely modulating supramolecular nanovaccines, systematically investigating their interaction with immune cells, and finally establishing the relationship between the physicochemical properties and the immune response pathways. The supramolecular nanovaccines will exploit block copolymer vesicles (polymersomes) as scaffolds which will be decorated with immune active (antigenic and adjuvant) oligopeptides on their surface. Such minimized supramolecular vaccine design enables flexibility with regard to physicochemical properties in terms of size, shape and surface character. The interaction of this library of nanovaccines with immune cells will provide a deeper insight in how different immune responses can be provoked. By precisely controlling the physicochemical properties of the nanovaccines, the project will explain cascade signalling pathways on both the cellular- and molecular level, with as final target to aid in vaccine design for especially tumor immunotherapy.

CEE2ACT will empower countries in Central Eastern Europe and beyond (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia) - CEE2ACT target countries - to develop circular bioeconomy strategies and action plans through knowledge transfer and innovative governance models enabling sustainability and resilience to achieve better informed decision-making processes, societal engagement and innovation, building on the practice of experienced countries serving as role models in this context (Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Finland, Sweden). Knowledge transfer and inspiration in creative formats that address the motivations, needs and knowledge gaps of each CEE2ACT target country will be realized through the CEE2ACT National Bioeconomy Hubs. A participatory, non-political, bottom-up approach will be applied throughout the project activities, tackling specific knowledge gaps and shortcomings of the top-down conventional approach, building closer interconnections between actors across public institutions, private sector, industry, energy, SMEs, feedstock providers (e.g., waste, side streams, farmers, foresters, fishermen), academia and research, NGOs, CSOs in the target countries. To achieve this, a baseline assessment will be carried out (socio-economic and environmental aspects), stakeholder engagement activities will be implemented ensuring the proper involvement and active participation of all relevant stakeholders. Digital solutions for sustainable governance will be created, exchange of know-how and best practices on technology transfer, building the capacities of the stakeholders to develop bioeconomy strategies. The findings will be synthetized, in an analytical framework, which will result in National-level Roadmaps for the Bioeconomy Strategies in Targeted CEE2ACT countries, boosting societal engagement in the countries’ transition towards circular bioeconomy.

Phonological cognisance and allied linguistic representations: acquisition, bilingualism, change and script (PAAL)

PAAL's objective is to investigate the interaction of phonological representations with cognisance, and their relationship to script. We view cognisance as part of the native speaker's core knowledge of their language.This includes generalisations about constraints on phonological representations in terms of features, size and shapes of morphemes, tone and metrical structures. Cognisance is not identical to the phonological representation of particular lexical items; rather, cognisance is the knowledge about what might be a conceivable word in a given language. We argue that cognisance is involved in all levels of language processing and change, in both spoken and written modalities. Speakers may have different vocabularies, but the phonological cognisance of individuals within a speech community should converge. It has been widely claimed that the notion of "phonological awareness" supports script acquisition. We propose that "phonological awareness" has to make sense in terms of cognisance, which is fundamental to all native speakers, regardless of their level of literacy. Novel to our approach is that it makes explicit predictions about the relationship between cognisance and representation and their relationship to script. Most scripts encode aspects of phonological structure but vary across languages and change over time. Even the closely related Germanic languages we primarily investigate, all using Latinate script, differ in their relationship between phonology and script. We compare the Latinate script to Bengali (also an Indo-European language) whose writing system is very different. Our working hypothesis is that phonological cognisance and representation govern spoken and written language processing, language acquisition, and change of all languages. In this interdisciplinary project, we combine expertise and methodologies across the fields of theoretical phonology, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistics, language acquisition, and language change.

INTERCOL investigates a moment of mass mobilisation at the start of the twentieth century when several non-violent protests erupted across the world. Like in contemporary demonstrations, people marched on the streets to fight for a shared idea of justice, which, for the early twentieth century demonstrators, targeted empires and colonialism. Rather than studying these mass protests within a national framework, INTERCOL excavates how non-violent anti-colonial protests were viewed across the colonies. To this end, it brings together two colonies of two different empires that underwent parallel processes of decolonisation—India and Korea. Although Indian and Korean anti-colonial actors shared similar political aspirations and methods to challenge the British and Japanese empires respectively, their interaction mostly took an intellectual form rather than physical organisation of an alliance. They debated the events and ideas unfolding across borders and incorporated them into their own assessment of anti-colonial tactics and world politics. INTERCOL uncovers these intercolonial references by examining the receptions of the Korean Manse movement in India and the Indian Satyagraha movement in Korea. By bringing to the surface the heterogeneity of intercolonial references expressed in Hindi, Korean, and English newspapers, political pamphlets, and letters of historical actors, INTERCOL lays the foundation for a new interdisciplinary subfield—intercolonial public—that offers a new approach to understanding the global anti-colonial moment in the early twentieth century. The twenty-four months of the fellowship will be dedicated to outlining the parameters of an intercolonial public, testing the benefits and limits of intercoloniality as method, and applying the implication of INTERCOL to contemporary debates on democracy in Asia, where India and Korea are increasingly growing closer.
