Wound healing can be accelerated by using wound dressing impregnated with biochemical agents and biophysical methods such as electrical stimulation (ES). The current ES technology is complex, non-portable, costly and requires external power. ELECTROHEAL is planned to develop a simple, cost effective and disposable wound dressing or bandage to accelerate the wound healing process. The Amino Acid Glycine (AAG) will be used to accelerate the wound healing. The role of biochemical activity of Glycine for wound healing is well established as AAG is traditionally used as an edible nutrient. However, there is no study showing the electroactive properties of AAG contributing to wound healing process as the ferroelectric properties of AAG were not known. A simple wearable and disposable dressing or bandage with embedded AAG will be developed. The bandage containing ferroelectric glycine crystals will generate charge continuously in response to either pressure from regeneration of wound tissue, weight bearing, motion of the body or body temperature. With electroactive bandage in contact with injured skin, the produced electric charge will be directly applied to the wound and this will lead to faster wounds healing by promoting the growth of normal skin. Further the bandage with glycine could also reduce infection due to its polar ferroelectric characteristics. This will enable self-health management of wounds and trigger transformation in healthcare systems. This project opens new avenues for faster wound healing as both biochemical and electroactive properties could be used and ELECTROHEAL aims to achieve this. The innovative use of biocompatible and biodegradable materials for development of a simple and disposable wound dressing will certainly open up a new approach in wound healing based on ES.

PS-IRAQ’s objectives: 1) study the relationship between knowledge production and political engineering in state and nation-building of occupied Iraq (2003-6); and 2) analyze how scientific knowledge of the state acted as a constituent element of political agency. This project also seeks to 3) develop detailed analysis of 2 sites of state and nation-building in Iraq (2003-6). The cases are the occupation’s and US efforts in: 1) restoring electrical supply and rebuilding the national electrical grid; and 2) the introduction of new Iraqi representative bodies. This project is interdisciplinary, drawing on comparative politics, the anthropology of state and economy, political geography, and social studies of science and technology. It examines how scholars from history, political science, political economy, anthropology and social theory have understood Iraq prior to and after the invasion, and how they engaged in the making and the transfer of ideas about the state. Data-collection relies on archival, library-based research, and interviews. The project generates conceptual and empirical insights relevant to European external action in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries, especially crisis response and state-building. European excellence and innovation is promoted by developing a reflexive understanding of the relationship between social science knowledge and state-building practice and policy. Lessons from the US experience enhance the mutual understanding of US policy formation and social scientific knowledge formation processes. This will enhance potential for European international cooperation on state-building.

Urban mobility is becoming an issue of great importance in today’s society due to the increasing population movements towards big cities and the exponential growth of cities in developing countries. Today, urban mobility schemes are evolving faster than ever mainly due to social, economic and technological changes. The traditional choice between walking, taking public transport or else buying a car is being extended with a wide range of new flexible mobility services, such as vehicle sharing and ride-hailing. Those shared mobility services are blurring the lines between private and public transport, with the potential of displacing car ownership but also traditional transit systems. And the adoption of autonomous vehicles will only accelerate this trend. There's the need for Public Transport Authorities, operators and industrial providers to prepare for this change and adopt the necessary tools to manage the mobility services of the future in a more flexible and efficient way. EGNSS has the potential to enhance the quality of public transportation, by reducing operational costs, reducing traffic and providing savings in time and fuel, while fostering the development a wide range of new shared mobility services. ARIADNA aims at supporting the adoption of EGNSS for Public Transport and urban mobility, by raising awareness on GALILEO and EGNOS benefits among the different stakeholders involved and supporting the introduction of new solutions provided by SMEs and start-ups. The project builds up on experience gained from previous R&D related projects and the extensive network of stakeholders that can be reached through UITP and EIT Urban Mobility networks.

ExiLives focuses on currently exiled theatre artists from Turkey (Turkish and Kurdish) in European cities. It investigates the entanglement of artists' personal exilic life stories and the collective affects that theatre works based on these experiences can emanate. It sets out to develop a new interdisciplinary methodology utilizing ethnographic research and socio-aesthetic theatre analysis (informed by theatre and performance studies, cultural studies, political sociology, diaspora and exile studies). ExiLives will create a digital archive of artistic expressions in the theatre and performing arts that deal with the recent exodus of intellectuals, artists and authors from Turkey. It will also map out and discuss the differences between the local and national contexts of the respective artist residencies as well as the efficacy of existing support mechanisms, exchange programs and artist networks in different urban contexts. The theatre arts are discussed for their utility in understanding new political subjectivities and aesthetic practices emerging from the exilic situation. Representations of the exilic life are not regarded as mere reflections of a social reality. They are gauged as models for that reality, where the workings of aesthetics and performative affects aim to impact cultural debates of community, conviviality, social justice, peace, dignity, and free speech. Hence, the research will shed new light on how seemingly marginal artistic initiatives destabilize but also reimagine ways of being political, thereby constituting a conceptual basis for newly emerging political subjectivities in Europe. As a precarious theatre scholar who worked and researched in Turkey but left due to political pressures, the Experienced Researcher has first-hand experience with the implications of exilic life. He is part of the solidarity networks for academics and artists at risk from Turkey, from which he will emerge as a key expert in the field.

Monocultures are one of the great projects of industrial modernity. From the corn fields of Iowa to date palms in the Sahara, from banana plantations in the Americas to eucalyptus trees in India – wherever we look, we find large production regimes that focus on a single commodity. They supply the lion’s share of the world’s food and create a plethora of economic, social, political and environmental problems. However, there is a great paradox behind the global hegemony of monocultures: they thrive in the absence of a clear paradigm. There is no biological theory of monoculture – and plenty of evidence for the benefits of biological diversity. The project brings historical research to bear in a field that is traditionally the province of agronomists and activists. In the best tradition of global history, it reveals what isolated case studies have failed to see: problems, solutions and actors were surprisingly similar in otherwise different monocultures around the world. Based on carefully selected case studies and intensive communication with experts from forestry and the agricultural sciences, the project identifies the common patterns in the trajectories that monocultures followed around the world and uses that for a new interpretation of the growth and resilience of monocultures that only a historian can provide: a global narrative of recurring crises, of externalizing costs, and of an ever-growing path dependency. Monocultures are stumbling on in spite of the costs because the price of reverting course seems even greater. Outputs include five monographs, culminating in a path-breaking synthesis. The project seeks to challenge existing boundaries between historical subdisciplines and explore the common ground between agricultural history, forest history, environmental history, economic history, and the history of science and technology. It also aims to make history relevant in a 21st-century world where organic production will face unprecedented challenges.

Neck and low back pain (NLBP) are leading causes for years lived with disability in Europe and worldwide. About 70% of all adults experience NLBP at some point in their lives, and both conditions are among the top ten in terms of overall disease burden expressed as disability adjusted life years. Management of NLBP is a difficult challenge for healthcare professionals since their decisions have a decisive impact on the patient’s future health and welfare, as well as on the economic burden on the public and private healthcare systems. However, health professionals often lack appropriate information to tailor the management and follow-up of individual patients and to predict the outcome of a certain treatment. At European level, diverse research initiatives are undergoing at this moment for tackling NLBP from diverse angles, including biomarkers (PainOmics), pain self-management (selfBACK), lifestyle and workplace conditions (AHA), or patients stratification (STarT Back). Back-UP project provides a wider vision of NLBP, bringing together the research groups that are leading these and other innovative approaches to create a prognostic model to underpin more effective and efficient management of NLBP based on the digital representation of multidimensional clinical information and on simulations of the outcomes of possible interventions. Patient-specific models will provide a personalised evaluation of the patient case, using multidimensional health data from the following sources: personal, health, psychological, behavioural, and socioeconomic factors related to NLBP; biological patient characteristics, including musculoskeletal structures and function, and molecular data; and workplace and lifestyle risk factors. Back-UP will provide health, well-being and economic benefits to different user profiles (clinicians, employers / insurance companies and patients) and will create a channel for sharing information during the rehabilitation and return to work process.

Hematologic neoplasms pose a major medical problem worldwide and account for ~10% of new cancer cases diagnosed in the developed countries. The proposed NEXT_LEVEL project aims at strengthening research, development and innovation (RDI) potential of the Institute of Human Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IHG PAS) located in Poznan (Poland) in the field of hemato-oncology. Within the project, the IHG PAS will establish strong links with three internationally leading research institutions: University Medical Center Groningen (University of Groningen, the Netherlands), Center for Medical Genetics Ghent (Ghent University, Belgium) and the Institute of Human Genetics, University Hospital of Ulm (Germany). The NEXT_LEVEL project will leverage scientific excellence of the IHG PAS in hemato-oncology and promote its position in the international interdisciplinary environment. The project will enable efficient transfer of expertise from the advanced EU laboratories to staff members of the IHG PAS, by strengthening existing ties and establishing new links between the partner institutions. This will be achieved through transfer of best practices from partner institutions, facilitated by joint conference attendance and workshop organization, focused staff training stays, expert visits, cooperative publishing and outreach activities. Project activities will increase chances of joint European initiatives aimed at understanding hematologic neoplasms. The expected long-term impact of the twinning action is to strengthen the IHG PAS both as a competitor and collaborator within the European Research Area, while simultaneously boosting regional specializations of the Wielkopolska region.
