Adolescents in alternative care are at high risk of developmental outcomes. However, adolescence also offers avenues for positive changes and recovery from early adversities. To date, research has faced challenges in determining how adolescents’ psychosocial functioning changes during their time in care, and underlying mechanisms that contribute to resilience and wellbeing. Therefore, the question of “what works, for whom, and in what circumstances?” remains unanswered. The CAREFAL project draws on psychology, social anthropology, and public health to disentangle the developmental trajectories of adolescents in two alternative care settings (i.e., family foster care, residential care). This unique proposal aims to explore the differences across settings and how adolescents’ self-regulation interacts with the quality of their relationships with caregivers to promote positive outcomes. Additionally, CAREFAL aims at comparing the two cases of Spain and Portugal to optimize services and resources in each country. I will use a longitudinal, mixed-method, multi-informant, comparative approach to achieve the research objectives. The quantitative phase will involve a 6-month longitudinal study, incorporating data from caregivers, adolescents, and administrative records. This will be complemented by in-depth interviews with adolescents and caregivers. The research outputs will have: 1) scientific impact, as they will enhance our understanding of adolescent development across alternative care settings; 2) social impact, as they will equip families and professionals with evidence-based resources for improving adolescents’ self-regulation and caregiver-youth relationships; and 3) economic impact, as they will contribute to the specialization of alternative care and the efficient use of resources. By enhancing my expertise through conceptual, methodological, and communication training, I will be better equipped to showcase my abilities in both academic and non-academic markets.

Medical and consumer electronics markets drive an ever-growing demand for powerful, compact, high quality and cost-effective femtosecond (fs) sources. Ophthalmic surgery and stent manufacturing in the medical field, post-processing of OLED panels defective pixels and smartphones machining in the consumer electronic field are examples of maturing processes where Ultrafast Lasers (UL) are key enablers. In the global scientific instrumentation market, non-linear multimodal optical microscopy (multiphoton absorption fluorescence or coherent Raman microscopy), high energy photon coherent radiation via high harmonic generation processes, high energy particle beam generation, time-resolved dynamic charge transfer studies in materials are in increasing use in research laboratories. Such increasing business perspectives fuel a worldwide competition for UL manufacturers. The VISUAL project aims to strengthen the leadership of the industrial UL manufacturing partners in the scientific, medical and industrial application fields, based upon a novel design-to-cost and innovative UL platform providing an unprecedented technical versatility. This high-average-power platform will deliver ultrashort optical pulses with pulse-on-demand capability at very high repetition rates (60 MHz) and with extremely broad wavelength tuning ability. The numerous benefits of this platform, designed for multi-purpose applications cases, will be assessed, within the framework of VISUAL, in label-free bio-imaging and medical diagnosis, in “on-chip” particle acceleration for electron-beam therapy, and in advanced fiber and glass microstructuration.

Solid urban waste (SUW) is an abundant source for circular products production, but it is generally not exploited. In fact, over 500 kg of municipal waste per capita were generated in the EU in 2020, while only 45% was recycled. The proximity of resources and people, a sufficient scale for effective markets and the ability to shape urban planning and policy are key factors for cities to achieve advancements in this area. REDOL has been conceived to take advantage of this scenario and transform cities into hubs for circularity that implement zero residues strategies while fostering industrial-urban symbiosis (I-US) approaches among local and regional actors. To this end, REDOL will redesign 5 value chains for SUW (packaging, plastics, CDW, textiles, WEEE) ending-up in the production of 12 circular products. Along the value chains a range of new solutions will be implemented for 1) upgrading management technologies to collect, sort and classify SUW, 2) enhancing the processing routes of sorted materials to avoid landfilling and 3) applying cutting-edge digital tools to optimize value chains and interaction among key players. Moreover, REDOL will provide the required organizational procedures, business models and social innovation actions required for the establishment of successful I-US interactions and hubs for circularity at local level. Such an approach will result in the development of guidelines and recommendations for major decision-making bodies and will achieve improved citizens’ perception on SUW as a local resource and on recycled products, thus increasing their participation in separate collection schemes. REDOL will be implemented in Aragon, with Zaragoza in the center of the hub for circularity. This way, REDOL will support its transition towards a zero residues city by 2040. This will imply 144.720 tons SUW/year being re-used, valorized or transformed into secondary raw materials, leveraging economic and GHG emissions savings over 14B€ and 280 ktCO2/year

Phages, viruses that infect bacteria, play key roles in shaping bacterial fitness and evolution. At the same time, phages themselves are parasitized by satellites - mobile genetic elements (MGEs) lacking genes for autonomous replication but that can hijack (helper) phages for their own propagation. Despite billions of years of coevolution between satellites, phages and bacteria, we know little about how selection affects these elements and their interactions. Recent studies showed that P4-like satellites are diverse and widespread across distant bacterial genomes, but outside a few P2-like prophages described decades ago, the actual range of phages that P4-like elements can hijack is unknown. The aim of my project is to decipher the mobilization potential of P4-like satellites, study the genetic basis of this mobilization and reveal how selection acts on satellites, phages and bacteria when they coevolve. With access to over 200 strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella, I will combine experimental and computational analyses to shed light on the genetic and evolutionary interactions between P4-like satellites, their helpers and their common bacterial hosts. Leveraging my expertise in microbial evolution and molecular biology, this project will introduce new expertise in satellite biology, bioinformatics, and coevolutionary microbiology. This project will provide new models to explore satellite-helper dynamics, with potential applications in biotechnology and phage therapy. At the Institut Pasteur, I will collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment within the Department of Genomes and Genetics, receiving outstanding academic training with numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. This provides unique prospects for my career development towards independency. Research findings will be published in high-impact journals, open-access, and presented at international conferences, with outreach efforts to engage a broad audience.

The development of non-toxic priming agents (PAs) is an important R&D activity, driven by European Commission (EC) policy. PRIMESOFT´s overarching objective is to explore innovations in the application of PAs in value-added soft fruit crops from a range of perspectives and strengthen educational, research and innovation activities among the Widening Institution (WI) and 4 internationally-renowned Advanced Partners (APs). Through this multi-actor approach, we aim to bridge the gap between chemical and nanomaterial priming research and agricultural practice in order to bring the inventions closer to application and commercialization towards resource-efficient smart farming practices. Besides the novelty of its technological approach that will be validated by sophisticated Life cycle cost analysis, PRIMESOFT´s ambition is to use computational analysis and mechanistic modelling to identify key components that regulate the mode of action of PAs through the employment of transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches. The WI is expected to receive pioneering education, research and technological capacity by a polymorphic Consortium that share highly complementary skills and the nature of their activities creates added value. Outreach activities are expected to create significant scientific, societal and economic impacts and are particularly dedicated to 8 researchers of the WI in order to acquire the necessary competencies to seek a position of professional maturity. Specifically, PRIMESOFT has planned 2 thematic workshops, 4 training schools with hands-on practice in state-of-the-art methodologies, and an international scientific conference. PRIMESOFT aspires to enhance strategic networking activities of WI with both APs and stakeholders of the agro/food sector during and beyond the end of the project. To this aim, a business plan towards the development of a Regional Center of Excellence in Plant Sciences will be developed.

Researchers have recognized that culture bearers need to be more centrally involved in music sustainability, both for these programmes to prove practically effective and because it is ethically essential that community members determine what music might be shared with others, if any, and under what conditions. ECura designs a new research framework for applied ethnomusicology (and related areas) that capitalizes on newly emergent possibilities for sustaining intangible culture arising from the rising participation of minority members in digital media platforms. It addresses a central question: How can we empower ethnic minority groups to become the main actors in sustaining their indigenous cultural heritage via their wide participation in digital media platforms? The action-based research includes: Making tailored platform programs to better accommodate equal online participation; Setting up a website as a crowdsourced database 'recording' community culture; Community outreach to empower culture bearers; Cultural and media studies approach to contextualize the observed processes; Virtual ethnography on culture bearers' online activities. ECura has the potential to transform the ways ethnomusicologists, folklorists and others work with communities to sustain endangered cultural heritage. Its step of transforming culture bearers into the curators of their own digital materials is crucial. It focuses on three villages in China, allowing the acquisition of a deeply contextualized understandings of three contrasting cultural heritage settings and development of carefully shaped solutions to the challenges detected. Similar situations of cultural imperialism, the vanishing of indigenous culture, and the disempowering of the underprivileged in managing their own culture, occur worldwide. The new research framework will be transferable to a broad cross-section of endangered cultural heritages among minority communities who are adapting to rapid digitalisation globally.

Central regions of galaxies are inhabited by dense small structures, such as nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and nuclear disks and rings. These, at the bottom of the galactic potential well, are important tracers of the overall galaxy evolution, but the dominant mechanisms of their formation in galaxies of different masses and morphologies are still unclear. The TraNSLate project (Tracing galaxy evolution with Nuclear Structures in Late-type galaxies) will shed light on this issue, combining high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulations with state-of-the-art integral-field spectroscopy observations. TraNSLate will be conclusive on the role of gas accretion and inflow followed by nuclear in-situ star formation, and stellar accretion and migration to the center of a galaxy. First, I will quantify the relative contribution of these processes in the central regions of 50 simulated galaxies. I will identify potential nuclear structures and unveil how they formed going back in time to previous snapshots of simulations. Secondly, I will focus on NSCs in observations of eight massive late-type galaxies (so far poorly studied), and their properties will be interpreted with the help of recipes provided by simulations. Finally, since higher resolution than current state of the art is needed to detect the smallest NSCs, TraNSLate will deliver one NSC-oriented pilot simulation, with a factor of 10 higher resolution, and a detailed plan for a future complete run of 20 more simulations. The TraNSLate project will be carried out at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias under the supervision of Dr. C. Brook, expert on theoretical studies on the formation of galactic structures in a cosmological context. The theoretical expertise of the supervisor and the host research group is very complementary to my observational background, and with this fellowship I will acquire a complete, versatile and mature profile as a scientist, in a position to pursue long-term leadership positions.

The cost-efficient production of sustainably derived biochemicals and biofuels is a critical goal of modern biotechnology. Redox-biosynthetic pathways are fundamental in chemical manufacturing for establishing a bio-based economy. The sustainable regeneration and recycling of redox cofactors is a pre-requisite for the viable industrial exploitation of many described redox-biosynthetic pathways. These boundaries hamper the employment of cofactor-dependent biotransformations at large-scale production processes. To overcome these limitations, the main objective of this project, PIEZOZYMES, pushes the forefront of technology, pursuing novel biotechnological tools aimed at the efficient regeneration of redox cofactors powered by mechanical sources. Such progress will bring several advantages over the current cofactor-regeneration systems, where the traditionally employed biochemical, electrochemical and photonic sources will be replaced by mechanical ones. The resulting technology of this project will have valuable social impact, paving new pathways for the cost-efficient exploitation of cofactor-dependent enzymes as economically suitable biocatalysts in a plethora of industrial catalytic biotransformations.
