SIRCULAR intends to create digital tools, technological solutions and non-technical services for the decarbonisation of the built environment, as well as a ready-to-use methodology for assessing the circularity of a given building capable of evaluating the impact of the developed construction technologies in the demos. These features are intended to improve access to information on decarbonisation for end users who are not experts in these fields, as well as to provide professionals working in the construction sector with tools capable of easily evaluating and improving the circularity of this area. The SIRCULAR solutions will take a multidisciplinary approach, integrating technical, economic, and social approaches with a focus on social and policy innovation, delivering valuable information to policymakers and establishing a solid foundation for the promotion of developed decarbonisation methods. The project will also be distinguished by an overall people-centric approach that prioritizes the needs, ambitions, and well-being of individuals and communities as critical players in the decarbonization of the construction industry. SIRCULAR will prioritize active participation, inclusion, and ethical concerns to ensure that the project's achievements directly benefit society as a whole. The project will also make special efforts to engage the whole supply chain engaged in all phases of the building's life cycle, with the goal of increasing the circularity and sustainability of each of them. SIRCULAR plans to consider four national clusters to promote a circular and sustainable construction sector using a value chain approach. The clusters will focus on Estonia and Spain, followed by Germany and Greece. The clusters will involve construction companies, housing companies, universities, and local administrative entities, and will include buildings owned or occupied by fragile population groups, in line with the SIRCULAR just and affordable transition approach.

The design of efficient catalysts is vital for developing advanced catalytic processes, which allows to switch to more sustainable industry. Single Atoms Catalysts has caught all the attention within the field of catalysis owing to their outstanding catalytic performance, being potential efficient systems. However, their applications in industry is hindered by the low metal loading required and by the lack of an environmentally friendly, simple and inexpensive batch preparation method. Ecofriendly and COst-effective preparation of Single Atoms Catalysts (ECOSACs) aims to synthesize several SAC formulations using high metal loading through a new and innovative mechanochemistry route, allowing their batch preparation in a near future. The specific goals of ECOSACs are: (i) use of continuous flow mechanochemistry reactor for the synthesis of given SACs formulations, mainly composed by reducible metal oxides supported noble (Pt,Au) and earth abundant (Co,Fe) metals; (ii) verify the versatility of this new synthesis method; (iii) determine the physicochemical properties and electronic environment of the SACs by using traditional and advanced characterization techniques; (iv) determine the catalytic activity of SACs in selective oxidation reaction of biomass derived molecules and (v) develop an understanding of the relationship between physicochemical properties and the activity and stability of SACs . The results of this project have the potential to introduce a green and low-cost continuous preparation of SACs and thereby develop more sustainable and greener European and global industry sectors, being align with the European Green Deal program, area 3 “Industry for a Clean and Circular Economy”. Throughout this project I will learn new techniques relevant to industrial catalysis, develop my skills as an independent researcher and mentor, and expand my network to include international collaborations and relationships as transition to an established researcher.

Today, drought and salinity constitute two of the most severe threats to global food security, and are rapidly increasing as climate changes progress. These stresses have a high impact on plant’s ability to use nutrients, resulting in a significant reduction in crop yields. Accordingly, ca. €90 B/year are lost due to salinity and drought, representing 800+ M ha of arable land affected globally only by salinity. To tackle this clear socio-economic problem, new, sustainable solutions are urgently needed. Players in BioAgriculture have been developing a new class of solutions termed biostimulants, i.e., substances or microorganisms stimulating plant response, which improves its utilization of nutrients and tolerance to abiotic stresses. Despite such solutions already exist on the market, they typically rely on the application of large doses, rendering the solutions expensive and difficult to implement in existing agronomic practices. To address this market gap, Agrobiomics is developing a new biostimulant solution produced by bacterial fermentation, which effectively tackles the limitations of existing solutions. Agrobiomics’ solution presents an unseen potency on stimulating a sound plant’s response to drought and salinity, requiring thus very low dosages. With the solution validated for different types of broadacre and Fruits & Vegetables crops, Agrobiomics now aims to optimize and scale-up the production and demonstrate the efficacy of its solution in large field trials, essential to develop the regulatory package needed for approval and to convince end-users and big BioAg companies about the robustness of the technology. These activities will be key to unlock the commercialization of this new product. Therefore, the EIC-A support is critical to co-finance the final technology maturation steps and market entry, thus allowing Agrobiomics to disrupt the biostimulants market with a new solution that makes agriculture resilient to climate change.

Computing power has grown exponentially for decades closely following Moore’s law but progress is slowing down and it is time for new ideas. Quantum computers based on qubits can extend the realm of possibilities unavailable to conventional computers based on bits. The market opportunity for quantum computers is huge, but the tools to transition from academic research to industry-grade quantum chip development are lacking. For example, diagnosing the quality of a quantum chip requires months of work by highly specialized quantum engineers in a full cryogenic lab. We are revolutionizing this practice with our Orange Quantum Diagnostics Systems. Once a quantum chip is fabricated, you just insert it, and the system will run a comprehensive set of proprietary diagnostic protocols to ensure deployment readiness. Our solution is fully automated and orders of magnitude faster than standard practices. With the EIC support, we will trigger Moore's law scaling for quantum computers.

People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) live with the burden of self-managing their glucose levels. Although automatic insulin delivery (AID) systems have alleviated this load, patients still need to count carbohydrates and administer insulin boluses at mealtimes, making the systems prone to human errors, which could have severe health consequences. Adjunctive therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists aim to mitigate these risks by reducing the impact of meals on the glucose rate of appearance in blood. These drugs are prescribed for type 2 diabetes, but they are currently being considered for their use in T1D. Simulators are one of the essential tools for developing AID systems and the foundation for digital twins, allowing testing and validating control algorithms while avoiding any risks for the patients. However, no T1D simulator includes descriptions of GLP-1 effects. The T1SIA project will develop a T1D simulator that includes a mathematical model of GLP-1 receptor agonists’ dynamics. This 2-year project will rely on the experience of the University of Bern and the Polytechnic University of Valencia. The first year at Bern will focus on developing a GLP-1 mathematical model, supervised by an expert in AID systems and a clinician expert in adjunctive therapies. In the second year at Valencia, the model will be integrated into a T1D simulator alongside a cohort of virtual patients under the supervision of an expert in diabetes technology. T1SIA will allow exploring the contributions of these novel therapy drugs for research and product-development purposes in the AID and pharmaceutical industry. This project will push the candidate’s professional development, both for academic and industry positions, improving her knowledge of mathematical modeling, human physiology, and identifiability processes while also providing the candidate with skills in project management, networking, teaching and supervision, and communication.

The theory of electrical, thermoelectric and magnetoelectric transport lies at the core of condensed matter research, because it allows to probe many ground state properties as well as dynamical and temperature-dependent features and harness them for advancing technology. Due to the progress in precision and resolution of experimental techniques, formerly inaccessible nonlinear and nonlocal effects take an increasingly central role. However, this pace is not matched in theory, where the physical understanding of response phenomena beyond the local and linear approximation remains fragmented. The advent of new quantum materials makes it necessary to take our understanding of transport theory to the next level. Here, I propose a universal and intuitive approach to quantum transport based on wavepacket deformations which allows the organization and prediction of complex transport phenomena with the help of geometric band structure properties. The goal of this research program is to develop this concept into a powerful and applicable tool in order to accelerate our comprehension of novel transport phenomena and prediction of new ones. To this end, using diagrammatic methods I will generalize the concept of the anomalous quasiparticle motion to all orders in the response, thereby significantly expanding on the concept of Berry curvatures. Connecting wavepacket deformations with gravitational phenomena, I will recast the theory of quantum transport in terms of a motion in curved spacetime. I will apply these concepts to novel flatband platforms by employing an innovative mapping of the quasiparticle flow between real and momentum space. Such powerful technology will enable the creation and investigation of dynamical gravitational fields in a condensed matter setting. The geometric formulation of quantum transport will reshape our understanding of condensed matter physics and lead to the discovery of new phenomena like gravitational anomalies in quantum materials.

MORPHEUS aims to advance the field of 2D carbon technology through the synthesis and characterization of electroactive nanoporous graphene (e-NPG). The project will utilize on-surface synthesis (OSS) to create complex graphene nanoarchitectures with atomic precision, via a 2-step OSS approach. This involves laterally interconnecting graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) using electroactive bridges that enable pore functionalization. These electroactive bridges will act as electrochemical gates through redox reactions, switching on/off the quantum electronic transport between GNRs, leading to the development of highly sensitive and selective chemical sensors. The key objectives of MORPHEUS are: - Atomically-precise synthesis of e-NPG with homogeneous nanometer-sized pores by interconnecting graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with electroactive molecular bridges. - Controlling activation and deactivation of these bridges through site-specific redox reactions. - Characterizing the gas-sensitive electronic transport properties of e-NPG-based field-effect transistors (FETs). The innovative use of OSS for lateral interconnection of GNRs and the incorporation of electroactive bridges aims to achieve unprecedented control over electronic properties and device functionality. The project will be evaluated using mainly scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and FET device performance measurements in the presence of different gases. This research is expected to provide new insights into quantum electronic transport in complex graphene nanoarchitectures and their potential use in quantum sensing, thus contributing to the expansion of atomically precise carbon-based materials in the Spanish research community, where the researcher plans to establish herself in the future.

Stone sarcophagi are one of the most important witnesses of Etruscan funerary art and craftmanship. Although a few examples are attested between the 8th and the 5th centuries BC (Orientalist, Archaic and Classical periods), most of the production dates from the 4th-2nd centuries BC (Hellenistic period) and is mainly distributed in the necropolises of the southern Etruria (northern Lazio), and more specifically in the territory of the city of Tarquinia. The reference publication on these objects dates from the mid-20th century and concerns only Hellenistic decorated pieces, studied through the prism of art history (iconography, stylistics); it was expanded in 1974 and 2004 to form a corpus of ca. 420 decorated sarcophagi well preserved. The undecorated specimens have never been taken into consideration, even though they represent between half and two third of the Etruscan stone sarcophagi of this period. The earliest examples have never been the subject of a synthetic study any more. The SETRU-2.0 project aims to fill the gaps in research on all Etruscan stone sarcophagi and to establish a new reference publication that goes beyond artistic and stylistic considerations, through a complete inventory these objects and a methodological guide applicable to future discoveries and other type of handmade products. Its originality lies in the fact that it considers the entire production (from the 8th to the 2nd century BC; sarcophagi whole or fragmentary, decorated or not, painted or not, inscribed or not, of fine or coarse workmanship), on a global and interdisciplinary approach (archaeology, art history, epigraphy, geology, anthropology, etc.), and on the implementation of a specific methodology, from the study of tool marks to the use of 2.5 and 3D surveying (RTI, photogrammetry, lasergrammetry) and analysis tools and techniques (GIS, 3D modelling). This project is definitively innovative for this class of object and more widely in Etruscology.
