Group interaction is part of our evolutionary history and continues to be central to modern society. Whereas some groups function harmoniously and productively, others do not. Understanding group processes affecting these outcomes is vital because group discourse and actions affect individuals’ well-being and societal functioning. Examining the interactive biobehavioral processes that emerge between group members during shared tasks – the processes that influence actions, emotions, and cognitions - will enhance our understanding of group functioning and dynamics. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of the biobehavioral processes underlying successful group functioning remains elusive. To fill this gap, GROUPS focuses on the multimodal -- neural, physiological, and behavioral -- synchrony patterns emerging between group members. Interpersonal synchrony is a ubiquitous and spontaneous process; A key mechanism in social interactions that pulls us to clap in unison with the crowd or to join others in protesting for a just cause. Contextual factors and individual differences modulate multimodal synchrony by prompting us to connect with, or separate from, the group. Multimodal synchrony, in turn, enhances or reduces relational (cohesion, trust, rapport, identification) and goal-oriented (performance, efficacy, creativity) outcomes. The project’s objectives are to examine: 1) whether and how multimodal synchrony affects group outcomes on the individual-, dyadic-, and group- level; 2) how individuals’ traits (demographic, psychological, physiological) impact multimodal synchrony and its outcomes in groups; 3) how competitive versus cooperative interpersonal contexts impact multimodal synchrony and its effects on groups. Realizing these objectives will advance the science of human groups by going beyond existing insights on the functioning of animal collectives and human dyads, and may thereby contribute to a more inclusive and productive society.

Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption in genetically predisposed individuals, affecting a substantial portion of the European population (1.4%). A significant number of CD cases remain undiagnosed (75%), leading to untreated disease and its associated symptoms. These range from immediate gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal distress to long-term complications such as osteoporosis, infertility, and cancer, among others, placing substantial strain on society and healthcare systems. As the primary treatment for CD remains a strict gluten-free diet, there is a pressing need for innovative approaches to alleviate the burden of inadvertent gluten exposure. This proposal aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms governing the transport of gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) across the small intestine and to develop a chiral-based strategy for the design of enantiomeric peptides that can inhibit GIP toxicity and immunogenicity. Our objectives are: 1) To develop a focused library of enantiomeric peptide inhibitors of GIP that could be used as novel therapeutic agents for CD. 2) To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of GIP transport and immunogenicity across the small intestine using GIP enantiomers as probes. 3) To establish a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assay for GIP quantitation in biological samples as a novel diagnostic tool for assessing gut permeability in CD patients. The successful accomplishment of these objectives will provide valuable insights into GIP activity and transport within intestinal epithelium and immune cells. Moreover, it offers the potential to identify novel peptide-based therapeutics against GIP, with the possibility of further commercialization. Lastly, the success of this proposal carries the critical importance of raising awareness about CD and pathologies associated with gluten consumption, addressing the alarming rate of undiagnosed cases within the European population.

The 6G-DISAC project aims to bring the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) vision to life by adopting a holistic perspective with widely distributed intelligent infrastructure compatible with real-world integration constraints and future wireless network flexibility requirements. The project addresses both fundamental and practical challenges, such as tracking connected UEs and passive objects, performing ISAC with many distributed base stations, efficient distributed signal processing and machine learning for semantic ISAC, incorporating extremely large MIMO technologies and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and intelligent sensing activation. 6G-DISAC will focus on the distributed implementation of ISAC, unlocking real sensing applications and providing a multi-perspective view of networks in space and time for tangible communication gains. It will bridge theoretical approaches with operational and standards-compatible distributed joint communication and sensing. 6G-DISAC brings together world-leading actors across the value chain, including operators, network vendors, verticals, SMEs, research laboratories, and academic institutions. Together, the 6G-DISAC partners will define use cases, requirements, and design an innovative network architecture. They will also develop novel physical-layer waveforms, distributed sensing and communications methods, optimised resource allocation methods, and protocols. Several demonstrations will validate the key 6G-DISAC concepts. This project will revolutionise various applications, from extended reality and robot-human interaction to vehicular safety functions and improving communication key performance indicators with sensing-aided communications.

Quantum information represents a paradigm-shift in the way we exchange information, with the EU and the US investing substantial economic resources on basic research and technological developments. Propelled by these efforts, the research community intensely worked on physical sources of quantum bits, qubits, the quantum information basic units. In particular, Single Photon Sources (SPS) offer the perspective of modular quantum information circuitry elements. In this framework, transition from fundamental research to technology is a necessary step towards their use in a broader and application-oriented use. SPEEDBUMPS will develop plasmonic-enhanced tapered optical nanofibers (ONF), a highly reliable SPS generation and collection system exploiting on-waveguide localized plasmon surface resonances to generate periodic flows of single photons on a ready-for-integration waveguide with enhanced optical properties. To do this it will pursue three main objectives to surpass the current state-of-art of fiber-based SPS: 1. Exploiting SPS typically requires bulky optical setups, limiting the translation in applicative frameworks where no strong expertise in optical systems is required. SPEEDBUMPS will demonstrate the integration of SPS with other optical systems, coupling them with the strong evanescent field confined at the surface of a ONF. 2. SPS-ONF coupling alone fails at obtaining collection efficiencies higher than the 10% of the photons emitted by the SPS. To increase the system efficiency SPEEDBUMPS will realize an optical cavity deterministically fabricated on the ONF with unconventional nanofabrication approaches. 3. To further increase the efficiency, in SPEEDBUMPS the isotropic radiation field will be modified through complex nanostructuring of the ONF to realize field-redirecting elements. Due to the ONF’s nature (suspended, dielectric, curved, nanometric) these results will be unprecedented, paving the way to novel applications in the field of quantum optics.

Global warming and accelerating mean sea-level rise (SLR) arise the critical need for long-term (multi-decadal) shoreline projections to inform coastal adaptation plans. Currently, interactions among SLR and other processes driving shoreline change are poorly understood, and estimating the effects of SLR on long-term shoreline behaviour remains an open challenge. To fill this knowledge gap, this project will provide new physical insights on the combined effects of waves and SLR on sandy beaches, and develop an equilibrium-based approach for SLR-driven shoreline change. Shoreline data extracted from physical models, satellite imagery and topographic surveys at a variety of sites worldwide, allow building an unprecedented dataset of multi-decadal time series of shoreline positions. Such time series will be analysed to investigate the relations among shoreline change and its primary drivers (waves and SLR), and to validate the developed approach at a variety of selected sites worldwide. This study will characterize the role of waves in shoreline response to SLR, and provide a physics-based approach for more reliable assessment of long-term shoreline projections including the effects of SLR.

Egyptology has traditionally focused on the texts, monuments, and grandiose trappings of social inequality. A substantial body of archaeological evidence for low-status groups has accumulated but is marginalized in interpretations, so a holistic view of ancient Egyptian society remains obscure. SUBALTERNEGY inverts the elite bias in Egyptology, using fresh data and an innovative theoretical framework to explore how subaltern communities responded to hegemonic concepts that emerged during the earliest phase of political centralization in Northeast Africa (2700–2200 BC). The project develops methodologies to expose social organisation and cultural orientation of disempowered groups. The premise of the project is that people of all social groups strive for a meaningful life and, to this end, position themselves and are positioned in social relationships that are expressed in material culture and the built environment, which reflect, reproduce, and at times contest the prevailing social order. The aims are to: - produce a substantial record of contextualized data for a low-status ancient Egyptian community cemetery; - understand how burial practices transformed diverse lived experiences into local imagined communities; - uncover how human bodies, the landscape, material culture, and visual discourse were used to enact social relationships; - develop concepts of subalternity and relatedness into a novel bottom-up approach to ancient Egyptian society. SUBALTERNEGY uses multiple lines of evidence and adopts an interdisciplinary pool of methods from archaeology, anthropology, geophysics, visual studies, and cultural history. The project seeks to reveal agency and imaginative capacities within the wider population and to situate dominant ideologies within the complex realities of common life revealed by material culture. It contributes to current debates surrounding the history of social inequality and the unsustainable role of colonial archaeologies.

Ai-aided deCision tool for seamless mUltiModal nEtwork and traffic managemeNt (ACUMEN) proposes a generic, privacy-preserving, data-driven modular digital paradigm for advanced network management, which aims at enabling efficient and reliable door-to-door journeys for people and goods, increased safety and resilience at the network level, and to make a critical contribution to achieving the transport goals set forth in the green deal. The main concept developed in ACUMEN is a modular, multi-layered Digital Twin (DT), a high-fidelity representation of integrated and interacting real complex systems, ultimately forming a digitised version of seamless and sustainable, connected urban mobility. This is complemented by plug-in modules, or digital tools, which represent the outcomes of the models (physics-based or data-driven based), data (including that generated via AI/ML approaches using said models), and simulation tools at the disposal of a city/road authority/mobility service provider. AI-powered digital tools supporting mobility management and decision-making, exploiting the modular DT architecture, will be developed by leading academic and research partners, in close cooperation with global industry partners and stakeholders. The DT platform will be demonstrated and validated through a set of comprehensive and carefully selected use cases, co-created with stakeholders, involving different scales and urban forms, to challenge the capabilities of ACUMEN with a diverse range of transport management problems and applications. The ACUMEN consortium (6 Universities - one is the Coordinator, 6 Industrial partners, 2 RTOs , 3 stakeholders) has been formed to address a combination of technical and implementation challenges to develop and successfully launch ACUMEN as a solution for policy makers and stakeholders in transport.

This research project advances theoretical and applied knowledge about communication practices in professional training in high-stake, high-risk professions, focusing on the rescue services. The overarching objective of FEEDBACK IN PRACTICE (FiP) is to specify how the design of instructors’ feedback is consequential for the trainees’ understanding and acceptance of indicated problems and eventual implementation of the feedback content in subsequent training. More specifically, the project sets out to: a) identify and account for actual instances where instructors and trainees manifestly engage in and accomplish feedback processes on practical training; b) determine the relevance of the sensorial dimension of the exercises in relation to their assessable aspects; and c) outline a roadmap for navigating actual instances of feedback in interaction. The data will include approximately 80 hours of already initiated videographic documentation of naturally occurring firefighters’ training and subsequent debriefing sessions in Switzerland and Sweden. The recordings will be transcribed and analyzed using a multimodal, social interactional, comparative and interdisciplinary approach to identify and explain critical instances of feedback during practical training. The project is conceptualized as part of an innovative collaboration with three international and interdisciplinary research projects on feedback in other domains of professional training. The research will break new grounds regarding how feedback, as a generative practice for carrying out pedagogical tasks, is normatively ordered and relies on vernacular linguistic, embodied and sensorial resources. By developing a communication model in cooperation with associated experts, the project will contribute to the advancement of the existing curriculum in high-risk practical training, which will be instrumental for securing and improving skills in exigent and essential professions such at the rescue services.

Inverse problems are a research field at the intersection of pure and applied mathematics. The goal in inverse problems is to recover information from indirect, incomplete or noisy observations. The problems arise in medical and seismic imaging where measurements made on the exterior of a body are used to deduce the properties of the inaccessible interior. We use mathematical methods ranging from microlocal analysis of partial differential equations and metric geometry to stochastics and computational methods to solve these problems. The focus of the project are the inverse problems for non-linear partial differential equations. We attack these problems using a recent method that we developed originally for the geometric wave equation. This method uses the non-linear interaction of waves as a beneficial tool. Using it, we have been able to solve inverse problems for non-linear equations for which the corresponding problem for linear equations is still unsolved. We study the determination of a Lorentzian space-time from scattering measurements and the lens rigidity conjecture. We use geometric methods, originally developed for General Relativity, to analyze waves in a moving medium and to develop methods for medical imaging. By applying Riemannian geometry and our results in invisibility cloaking, we study counterexamples for non-linear inverse problems and use transformation optics to construct scatterers with exotic properties. We also consider solution algorithms that combine the techniques used to prove uniqueness results for inverse problems, manifold learning and operator recurrent networks. Applications include new virus imaging methods using electron microscopy and the imaging of brains. Practical algorithms based on the results of the research will be developed in collaboration with scientists working in medical imaging, optics, and Earth sciences.
