Poetry was the most affordable art form in the Roman world: all it required were words, and someone with a talent to arrange them in a meaningful, aesthetically convincing way. Yet, the study of Latin poetry has traditionally almost exclusively focused on a small, judiciously transmitted canon of texts – a segment of Rome’s artistic production that favours the poetry that was produced, enjoyed, and controlled, by a political, social, and financial urban elite, reinforcing their claim to cultural superiority. Focusing on a body of over 4,000 Latin verse inscriptions that have survived from the third century B. C. to Late Antiquity and cover the Roman empire in its entirety, representing ancient Rome’s middle and lower social strata in particular, MAPPOLA is an unprecedented effort to democratise our understanding of Roman poetry. A fundamentally multidisciplinary project that will make use of recent methodological advances in linguistic, historical, and archaeological scholarship, MAPPOLA’s prime aim is fundamentally to reassess the verse inscriptions as evidence for poetry as a ubiquitous, inclusive cultural practice of the people of ancient Rome beyond the palaces of its urban aristocracy. It will provide answers to the following questions: How is the empire’s considerable regional and ethnic diversity reflected in the engagement with inscribed verse? How and where did poetic landscapes emerge, and what inspired them? What was the cultural and social significance of inscribed Latin verse? How did subcultures and poetic subversion take shape? How did inscribed poetry transcend and transgress artificially imposed boundaries and abstractions? Over five years, organised into five integrated Work Packages and firmly rooted in the PI’s long-term vision, MAPPOLA will open a new area of empirical and quantitative research, alongside traditional qualititative approaches, into Latin poetry and its European legacy.

.Drawing on exciting new discoveries in the Colli Albani area, the CULTUS project offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the role of religion in Roman élite competition, identity creation, and state ideology, from the perspective of actual practice, agency, and integration into daily activities and more mundane physical surroundings. The identification of the famous sacrarium of Bona Dea at the ʽVilla of Clodiusʼ, Castel Gandolfo, and a re-assessment of the villas of Secciano and La Torretta, have closed important gaps in our knowledge of the Colli Albani’s sacred landscape, and have paved the way for the successful application of an innovative approach that moves away from still-prevailing paradigms of normative and static concepts of religion, and binary oppositions such as public/private or official/popular. Focussing on the much-neglected semi-public cult sites situated in private properties, the study aims to identify the patrons of these initiatives (male and female private individuals; emperors), and the reasons for their actions (self-promotion and socio-political ‘cultural capital’) over four centuries of extensive change in Roman political and social history (2nd c. BC to 2nd c. AD). The project comprises five work packages: Comprehensive data collection (WP1) and analysis (WP2) of three main case study sites and several comparative sites; the interpretation and contextualisation of these findings in a wider set of historical questions (WP3); training and outreach activities (WP4 and 5). Key concepts to be developed further are: (a) the ‘mapping of social history’ that proposes to study human action and interaction from the perspective of their spacial interconnectedness; (b) ‘lived ancient religion’ that emphasises individuals as religious agents instead of institutions, cities or ethnic groups; and (c) gender studies, that explore how women used their engagement with (semi ) public cults for self-promotion.

Building industry is eagerly looking for solutions to save embodied energy and to facilitate the EU’s goal of reducing 80-95% carbon emissions by 2050. However, traditional construction techniques and reinforcement materials limit the geometry and concrete-reinforcement configuration of concrete structures, resulting in almost invariable consumptions of embodied energy produced by concrete elements with a given design capacity. This generates the need for innovative concrete elements with a great potential to save embodied energy. This study proposes 3D GFRP fabric reinforcements capable of being both formworks and reinforcements to construct concrete elements with optimized geometries and concrete-reinforcement configurations, consuming less embodied energy, but having higher material efficiency and lower impact construction. First, experimental tests and numerical analysis will be conducted to achieve desired bond, anchorage and fibre layout properties for fabricating the GFRP reinforcements. Finite element models with the inputs of those properties will be built to predict the stress distribution across non-planer cross section produced by fabric formworks for developing design criteria. Based on the criteria, a numerical code will be developed to achieve the optimal design iteratively. Then, the optimal design will be evaluated with experiments and simulations. Based on experimental and numerical findings, a design criterion will be proposed for 3D GFRP reinforced concrete elements with potentials to reduce material demands and embodied energy up to 40%. The Researcher will bring in the latest updates on adhesive bonds and anchorages as well as Prof. Jirsa’s (ACI President 2000) advice to improve the 3D FRP fabrics proposed by the Supervisor. The fellowship is expected to improve the Researcher’s teaching and research skills with the prospect of serving at a top EU university as a lecturer to lead studies on innovative 3D FRP reinforced concrete structures.

Humans are endowed with a number of advanced cognitive abilities not seen in other species. So what allows the human brain to stand out from the rest in these capabilities? In general, the brains of primates, including humans, have more neurons per unit volume than other mammals. But humans are also in the fortunate position of having the largest of the primate brains, making the number of neurons in the human cerebral cortex greatly expanded. Thus, the difference seems to be a matter of quantity, not quality. My laboratory is interested in understanding how neuron number, and thus brain size, is determined in human brain development. The research proposed here is aimed at taking an evolutionary approach to this question and comparing brain development in an in vitro 3D model system, cerebral organoids. This method, which relies on self-organization from differentiating pluripotent stem cells, recapitulates remarkably well the endogenous developmental program of the human brain. Having previously established the brain organoid approach, and more recently improved upon it with the application of bioengineering, my laboratory is in a unique position to carry out functional studies of human brain development. I propose to use this approach to compare developing human brain tissue to that of other hominid species and tease apart unique features of human neural stem cells and progenitors that allow them to generate more neurons and therefore a greater cerebral cortical size. Furthermore, we will perform transcriptomic and functional screening to identify factors underlying this expansion, followed by careful genetic substitution to test the contributions of putative evolutionary changes. In this way, we will functionally test putative human evolutionary changes in a manner not previously possible.

Thirty million Europeans with sight loss are challenged to access the everyday goods and services that most people take for granted. Our project will contribute to the implementation of more accessible services for individuals with sight loss, in particular in the field of second language learning. Indeed, despite the development of some language learning web applications specially designed for learners with sight loss, most of the learning methods are still not accessible to them. The objective of our project is to get a better understanding of the acquisition of a second language by learners with sight loss, in order to provide teaching material suitable for them. Our project is original and innovative in three ways. First, it focuses on the acquisition of phonetic features, which, despite its importance in communication and social interactions, are often forgotten in second language classrooms. Second, little is known about the second language learning processes in individuals with sight loss. The present project constitutes the first attempt at examining the processing of second language phonetic information by learners with sight loss. Finally, our project will provide a framework for the development of accessible L2 teaching materials for learners with sight loss, which will guarantee their rights to equal access for learning foreign languages as recommended by the European Accessibility Act.

High-intensity lasers have the potential to offer groundbreaking insights into physics both within and beyond the Standard Model, as well as a wealth of applications in science, medicine, technology and industry. There is therefore an international drive to explore fundamental physics in intense laser fields, in the regime where both relativistic and quantum effects are significant. This regime will be tested at the Extreme Light Infrastructure ("ELI"), a series of next-generation laser facilities funded by the European Commission and now in construction across Europe. The programme of research we propose here will leverage existing EU funding of the ELI initiative by confronting fundamental and urgent issues in laser-matter interaction theory, issues which must be understood in order to correctly analyse and interpret the results of upcoming experimental campaigns. The objectives of this proposal are therefore to produce new theory insights and to provide theory support for the high intensity laser experiments which will be performed at ELI over the next five to ten years. The research goals are to: 1. Build an analytical tool kit that abandons the basic and simplistic assumptions which have for many years constrained progress in this field. 2. Provide improved estimates and new predictions for measurable signals of quantum radiation reaction and light-by-light scattering in upcoming high-intensity laser experiments. In achieving these goals a major contribution will be made to intense laser science in the EU.

SHiELD will unlock the value of health data to European citizens and businesses by overcoming security and regulatory challenges that today prevent this data being exchanged with those who need it. This will make it possible to provide better health care to mobile citizens across European borders, and facilitate legitimate commercial uses of health data. The exchange of health data is already possible, but rarely happens in practice because it is hard to ensure that the combined ‘end-to-end’ system will be secure and comply with data protection laws. SHiELD will address these security and compliance challenges: • providing models and analysis tools for automated identification of end-to-end security risks and compliance issues and supporting privacy and ‘by design’; • defining an open and extensible data exchange architecture based on epSOS, able to support security measures to address these risks; • developing security mechanisms to deal with new and emerging risks, such as inference attacks on sensitive data, and risks from relatively unprotected mobile edge devices; • providing faster and more cost effective methods to verify and monitor compliance with multiple sets of applicable regulations; SHiELD case studies will address cross border scenarios in which a citizen needs health care while in one Member State, and care givers need access to their health data from different Member States. SHiELD will also consider how commercial providers of lifestyle services or wearable sensors may be involved in such data exchanges. SHiELD will thereby also create opportunities for using health data to create such products and services addressing the common European market. SHiELD will provide guidance in best practice to achieve end-to-end security and data protection compliance in health and health related applications. SHiELD will also feed into CEN-Cenelec and ETSI efforts to create EU standards for data protection by design in eHealth.

The project aims at boosting the participation of European SMEs in the largest research and innovation funding programme of the EU, H 2020, especially in the EIC pilot activities (Accelerator, FTI/ FET open projects) and as a second at enhancing the innovation management capacities of high innovative SMEs. Furthermore, new SME relevant challenges of the HORIZON Europe Programme (2021-27) will be taken into consideration. Implementation activities are organized in two work packages (WP): Within WP1 Key Account Management (KAM), the project will accompany beneficiaries of the EIC pilot activities (Accelerator, FTI/FET-open projects) in the implementation of their project activities and to initiate a coaching for them. In WP 2 Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity process (EIMC), the project activities should result in significant higher innovation management capacities of SMEs. Therefore, the innovation capacities and processes, innovation strategies and internal organizations as well as their relations with innovation partners will have to be assessed. For this, the partners will apply proven assessment tools. Identified gaps and bottlenecks in the innovation management capacities will be discussed and measures and action plans to overcome them will be defined by the EEN consultants jointly with the SME. KAMINO-3 contains an assistance package for successful applicants in EIC pilot activities (Accelerator, FTI/FET-open projects) of H2020 and delivers assessments, advice and consultations to support SME to strengthen their innovation management capacities. Three EEN partners –ATI Kueste GmbH, Steinbeis-Forschungszentrum and Technologiepark Warnemünde GmbH – work on the mentioned activities. The IHK zu Rostock– will formally act as coordinator but will not implement any tasks. Potential candidates will be acquired by various sources. For the KAM-process they will be nominated by the European Commission through a special evaluation process. The consortium EEN M-V plans to perform 15 assessment service packages, both KAM and EIMC, in 2020-21.

The fast evolution of printed electronics, with the photovoltaic technology in primis, is requiring the presence of a valid transistor alternative to the traditional one. The realization of a high current roll-to-roll transistor will interconnect all the different technologies so far developed with this low cost and high throughput method. Our aim is to develop a roll-to-roll transistor capable to of modulate modulating the current to levels that where has not been achieved so far. The fabrication of the transistor will be done considering the lowest environmental impact possible, and containing energy consumption with a temperature below 150 °C. This high current (~mA) transistor will be able to support and assist other technologies and will also be the base for logics and sensing application. The optical studies on the organic material will result in a more controllable production process that for the first time will relate polymer crystallinity directly with an optical characterization technique. The realization of such kind of measurements is not trivial, but will give information on polymer nanoscale structures never investigated before. To do so this technique uses femtosecond pulse in subdiffraction-limited area. This will disclose an unprecedented tool to control the polymer morphology as soon as it is deposited, with enormous consequences in performance control and optimization. The realization of samples and the study of real cases will produce important information regarding this new technology and its real life applications. In addition, life-time and stability studies can be performed. Then the objective of minimizing the environmental impact of the technology life time cycle will be more realistic. These kinds of studies are also important to explain science to the society and to give a technology preview to industries.
