CHILD-UP researches the social conditions of migrant children’s integration through social participation, taking in primary account gender differences, legal status and age groups. , with the final aim to propose an innovative approach to understand and transform their social condition. First specific objective is providing an European overview, collection of data and evaluation concerning children’s conditions of living, protection and education. In selected contexts in seven countries, the research focuses on: (1) policies and practices of integration in schools, reception centres, social services and communities; (2) children’s and parents’ experiences, perceptions and expectations of integration; (3) specific practices of language teaching, facilitation of dialogue, intercultural education and mediation. Second objective is providing support for migrant children’s exercise of agency in changing their own conditions of integration and constructing hybrid identities. This objective can be achieved through the promotion of a dialogic system of practices, in schools and in their relations with partners (social services, reception centres, education and mediation agencies) and families. The project provides: (1) guidelines for dialogic activities in schools; (2) written and online training packages for teachers and other professionals; (3) a package for self-evaluation of activities. These tools will support co-action of teachers and other professionals, and coordinated planning between schools and their partners. Third objective is informing policies at the local, national and European level through dissemination and exploitation of research outcomes and tools. This objective can be achieved through the collaboration of three consortium partners, international and local stakeholder committees, and the implementation of an online portal containing a web platform conceived as a moderated wiki space and a digital archive hosting research materials and tools.

Media Accessibility (MA) - the research area dealing with the theories, practices, services, technologies and instruments that provide access to media products, services, and environments for people that cannot, or cannot properly, access that content in its original form - is at the core of the most pressing priorities of the European Commission, such as the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and the Digital Single Market Strategy. For a long time, policies involving MA have been concerned with quantity, that is, setting quotas for inducing the widespread adoption of MA solutions, e.g. hours per year of subtitled TV programmes. Now that quotas are being met in many EU countries, attention is shifting over to quality. Standardisation is the very instrument through which quality requirements are implemented at a policy level. Unfortunately, accessibility standardisation at a EU level is subject to a fragmented situation due to a plethora of divergent rules. Difficulties in harmonising the various standards, beyond mere differences in terms of national systems, are mainly due to a lack of research: the absence of a theoretical framework for understanding quality in media accessibility. The overall aim of this project is indeed to carry out the first comprehensive analysis of the notion of quality in MA and provide a unified theoretical framework for understanding it. Under the hypothesis that MA groups a series of practices to manage, transform and transfer information, the project will draw on scholarship on information quality and investigate if and how it can help to successfully deal with MAQ. The project will boost a coordinated research programme at an international level and enable the creation of a set of recommendations aimed at strengthening the EU policies, which will in turn benefit all the stakeholders in the accessibility value chain and facilitate the achievement of a Digital Single Market.

The key aim of ENGAGE is to address young people's participation in society via social media. ENGAGE focuses on understanding new forms of political and civic engagement within the digital visual cultures and social networked societies that young people from Norway and the United Kingdom are a part of. Through a comparative study focusing on two cities, Sheffield and Oslo, the project will explore how social, cultural and political events are experienced and expressed through images by young people in everyday contexts of digital socialization. To address these aims the project will draw on feminist media approaches, photo theory and debates within post-structural theory and philosophy. It will advance an innovative methodological approach, using digital ethnographic methods in alignment with network analyses and computational Big Data methods and techniques. In order to encourage young people to become responsible citizens and actively engage in civic and political society, we need more insight into the recent explosive growth in image sharing, giving rise to an emergent visual digital media public. With an interdisciplinary approach, triangulating small- and big-scale social media image data, theory and methods; this project has the potential to significantly contribute to our understanding of this emergent visual digital media public in Europe. The Information School, at the University of Sheffield will host the Individual Fellowship. Specifically it will be located within the Visual Social Media Lab (VSML), led by Dr.Vis, who will supervise the project. The Fellowship will also be in close collaboration with The Sir Bernard Crick Centre for the Public Understanding of Politics (SBCC) . The Individual Fellowship has the potential to offer excellent impact for Dr.Prøitz' career: it is a significant and exciting opportunity to acquire and transfer knowledge, and offers the potential for long-term collaboration between the iSchool, Dr Vis, VSML, SBCC and Prøitz.

MAGNAMED designs, fabricates, and assesses novel magnetic nanostructures (MNS) with unique spin configurations for innovative diagnostics and therapy techniques. An early stage detection and an effective treatment are keystones to reduce cancer mortality. Current clinical procedures fail to detect small concentration of tumoral biomarkers. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), like beads, have attracted much attention for their capability to improve cancer detection limits and treatment technologies. However, there are several limitations to the use of MNP. As an emerging alternative, MNS are being explored. Unlike MNP, MNS (e.g. nanodisks) present a planar shape with novel properties for diagnosis: high magnetic moment and large size, which can significantly improve the sensor sensitivity, and for therapy: due to their planar shape, alternate magnetic fields provoke a magneto-mechanical action on the cell membrane that triggers cell death. The efficiency of MNS in these two medical applications has not been investigated yet for MNS at the nanometer scale. The challenge of this project is to produce MNS with nanometer dimensions suitable for medical applications. Several lithography techniques will be used to fabricate MNS in vortex and antiferromagnetic spin configurations covering a broad size range (40 to 4000 nm). After functionalization, MNS will be exploited in: (i) Diagnostics, using giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors for the detection of tumoral biomarkers (dermcidin and carcinoembryonic antigen), and (ii) Therapy, effectiveness of tumoral cell annihilation by the magneto-mechanical action of MNS will be evaluated in vitro assays of melanoma and colorectal cancer cells. MAGNAMED is a cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary project involving Physics, Chemistry and Medicine. Findings will have a medium-term impact on the European strategy for early stage detection of cancer and a long-term impact on the development of novel and groundbreaking therapeutics techniques.

Combined Pressure and Cardiac Performance (CP2) is a project that develops a diagnostic device that enables a paradigm shift in physiological performance analysis. CP2 utilises multi-modal sensing to identify both Cardiac Performance as well as Vascular system performance from the subject, in 30 seconds, with the subject remaining clothed. The CP2 system draws on the experience from monitoring high performance engines within the world of F1 motorsport and transfers these techniques into medical care. By using new diagnostic sensing technologies and by analyzing the data for Biomarkers, the project is be able to identify the following disorders of the Cardio-Vascular system. Hypertension, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Aortic Stenosis, Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, Ectopic beats, Bradycardia, Tachycardia and Type 1 & 2 Heart Block. The CP2 system works by placing an array of sensors under both wrists, with the subject actively engaged in the process. No straps or restraints are involved, the subject remains in complete control at all times throughout the process and so there is the potential to reduce "Hypertensive White Coat" syndrome. The new multimodal sensing system allows both the Vascular and Cardio side of the Heart and Circulatory system to be tested simultaneously and the results from both halves to the equation to be reviewed against each other. The CP2 project thus brings together existing physiological parameters in new forms that should not only allow the identification of known disease, but also might lead to the establishment of biomarkers previously undetected owing to the two systems being operated asynchronously. It is easy to produce a better incarnation of what has gone before, but CP2 seeks to produce a paradigm shift in the usage of medical devices in the proactive screening role. With a screening taking only 30 seconds the opportunity exists to optimise the patient care pathway and to enhance patient flow within Primary Care locations.

F-CUBED aims to develop an advanced process concept for the hydrothermal conversion of a broad range of biogenic residues to intermediate bioenergy carriers (IEC) with fuel characteristics suitable for balancing the power grid. The core technology will be scaled up from lab (TRL 3) to pilot scale (TRL 5). F-CUBED will achieve a breakthrough acceleration in the utilisation of unused biogenic residues and wastes by: 1) Increasing energy density (at least to 5.5 GJ/m3) and fuel characteristics (complying with ISO/TS 17225‐8:2016-TA3 specifications) of biogenic residues through hydrothermal processing with an energy yield of 50%. 2) Showing at least a 30% improvement on residue processing costs, while obtaining GHG emission savings of at least 60% in using the IEC for heat and power generation. 3) Validating experimentally the core process by using continuous hydrothermal reactor (20 kg/hr) and dewatering pilots, in a relevant industrial environment on 3 representative side streams, at Smurfit Kappa Pitea (Sweden, paper sludge), Go Fruselva (Spain, fruit and vegetable wastes) and APPO (Italy, waste olive pomace). 4) Making and using a minimum of 100 kg (dry matter) of IEC in a relevant industrial environment. 5) Validating the parallel recovery of specific value-added products for each industrial case (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, terpenes and olive pomace oil recovery). The F-CUBED approach enables the overall validation of a feedstock flexible process, able to deal with variable feed characteristics, such as size, composition and pumpability. Advance modelling tools (GIS mapping) will be used to optimize the residue value chains, including logistical impacts. Through its balanced consortium, reflecting the whole value chain with both SME and large companies from different parts of Europe, F-CUBED results will be rapidly implementable and suitable to un-lock the bioenergy potential of these unused residual streams.

Quantum technologies hold enormous potential to address unsolved problems in communications, computation, and sensing. The central challenge to all proposed platforms is to distribute entanglement between a large number of qubits. A promising platform is based on spin qubits interfaced via photonic integrated circuits (PICs), but nanofabrication variations hamper its scalability. My objective in this project is to overcome these limitations by developing a modular on-chip platform equipped with mechanical reconfiguration to compensate for fabrication variations of spin qubits and PICs. I propose to rely on high-quality diamond spin qubits, aluminum nitride (AlN) PICs, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), as the enabling technologies. I will develop a nanofabrication process integrating diamond spin defects and AlN MEMS PICs. On-chip MEMS will be used to reconfigure large-scale AlN PICs and to strain and spectrally align transferred diamond defects. After addition of a superconducting film, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) will be added to the platform for efficient qubit readout. After optimization of a suitable modular architecture, I will demonstrate fully-integrated one-, two-, and three-module systems, enabling the experimental demonstration of a controlled-NOT quantum gate (a universal quantum logic gate), and a 3-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state (an initial resource for quantum computation). I will leverage collaboration with leading experts in my two host groups at MIT and WWU, as well as my own strong background in MEMS PICs to realize this interdisciplinary project. The unprecedented scalability enabled by IMMQUIRE will allow for experiments that bring us closer to the promises of quantum technologies, such as secure communications and non-forgeable currency, preparation of quantum states for ultra-precise sensing, optimization over big data, and molecular simulations for new material and drug development.
