Cultural heritage is a sociocultural discursive construction, embedded in power relationships, which tends towards the selective preservation of historical memory and the support of a particular reading of History. However, History is multivocal and to achieve egalitarian societies where identity diversity is respected, it is necessary to deconstruct the hegemonic historical discourse including different narratives from the perspective of otherness. REWIND proposes to study how historical discourses around European Cultural Heritage (ECH) have been constructed using travel literature written by Latin American women authors from the early 20th century. As such, non-European women, committed to feminist movements and who claimed miscegenation, become historical agents and cultural mediators that counteract a Eurocentric and patriarchal historical discourse. Thus, it is not about adding women’s testimony, but about rereading historical narratives about heritage in order to protect and transfer a cultural legacy that reflects the memories and subjectivities of a diverse society. REWIND is based on Foucault’s theories of “discursive formations”, since it analyses the elements of the ECH that authors highlight in their travels and descriptions from both the physical and the emotional point of view. Firstly, using Digital Humanities approaches based on Geographic Information Systems, the project will identify and locate ECH items. Secondly, REWIND will apply sentiment analysis techniques to recognise the impressions that ECH provokes in women travellers. And, finally, the information offered by travel guides and official documentation of cultural institutions will be contrasted with the data of travel literature applying semantic technologies and the decolonial gender theory. So, through this innovative methodology, REWIND will give voice to a silenced testimony, recovering part of the collective memory and offering new ways of interacting with the past in the present.

Deep understanding of localized deformation in geomaterials plays a central role in tapping geo-resources and energy, mitigating geohazards and designing built environment. Our project LOG3G seeks to advance and share the knowledge of the multiscale and multiphysics modelling of localization phenomena in geomaterials (soils and rocks), with the aim to create cutting-edge predictive models serving the communities in geophysics, geohazards, and geoengineering. We take an integrated approach by combining the diverse expertise of a multidisciplinary consortium, including geological surveys, constitutive modeling and numerical simulations, laboratory tests, and real-world applications such as CO2 storage and geo-resource/energy exploitation. LOG3G will generate lasting impact on the safety and economy in interaction with geomaterials across the disciplines. The ultimate goals are to develop better insight into the complex localization behavior of geomaterials, to provide the researchers and practitioners with the next generation predictive tools, to share and disseminate the knowledge to broad audience by secondment and training beyond the project network, and finally to contribute to the sustainable development of our society.

BUTTERFLIES aims to drive Europe towards sustainability and technological progress through Biointelligent Manufacturing, using biological systems to create innovative production technologies. Our project will achieve these aims by addressing challenges currently preventing widespread uptake of bio-polymers in advanced additive manufacturing (AM). The BUTTERFLIES bio-inspired advancements are based on chitin, one of the most abundant bio-polymers on Earth (second only to cellulose), and applied specifically to binder jetting (BJT) and 2 photon polymerisation (2PP) AM processes. Environmental sustainability will be achieved through chitin nanocrystal crosslinkers that bind chitin biopolymers in BJT and photocurable chitosan bio-polymer in 2PP. These approaches will offer streamlined production to replace petroleum-based plastics and non-environmentally friendly binders. BUTTERFLIES seeks to transform and revolutionise European manufacturing and products through seamless integration of biomaterials into additive manufacturing processes. BUTTERFLIES will address the challenges associated with the processing of biomaterials such as chitin and chitosan in processes such as binder jetting (BJT) and 2 photon polymerisation (2PP). Environmental sustainability will be achieved through low-temperature bio-based binders that will offer streamlined production to replace petroleum-based plastics and binders with chitin, the second most common biopolymer in nature. BUTTERFLIES will focus on development of smart bioproduct and hybrid manufacturing techniques through key technology developments: - BJT and 2PP for bio-intelligent 3D manufacturing to manufacture complex structures from biomaterials with embedded intelligence from bioprocesses and mimicry of real biological systems. -Novel biomaterial binders -Process design for BJ and 2PP-based 3D printing of biomaterials. -Process scalability of the 2PP technique based on laser beam shaping and multi-beam processing.

Combining general relativity and quantum mechanics into one unified theory remains a major unsolved problem in physics, in particular due to the lack of experimental data. Probing systems on Planck scales, in which both gravity and quantum theory predict comparable effects, seems unfeasible in the near future. This motivates the idea of investigating the quantum-gravity interface by measuring the gravitational interaction between two small masses with the eventual goal of placing these masses in quantum states. Laboratory-scale experiments in the last four years include kg-sized masses influencing levitating particles, or torsion pendulum experiments, which have shown the gravitational interaction between 90 mg gold spheres. However, such experiments are not designed to reach the quantum regime because either one of the objects is extremely large and thus clearly non-quantum, or the system is not designed to prepare objects in their motional ground state. Here, I propose mGramm: Measuring the Gravitational Attraction of Milligram Masses. Within this project, I will develop and execute an experiment to measure the gravity originating from masses down to 10 mg, the smallest to record. At the same time, mGramm will move gravity experiments into the world of cavity optomechanics, which promises a direct path to systems in which both source and test mass are in non-classical states. The project builds upon this scientifically highly relevant topic with a multi-level dissemination plan to bring this fundamental research to as broad an audience as possible, while also acting as a training program for myself to improve my skills as a productive scientist in academia.

Can we study complex cancer biology by using a more predictable and structured model of embryogenesis? Many of the hallmarks of cancer biology are shared with the biology of embryos: sustained proliferation, migratory behavior, angiogenesis, immune system suppression, and in my opinion the most fascinating: the tolerance of genome instability. Chromosome segregation errors and resulting aneuploidy are an important source of intratumor heterogeneity, therapy resistance, and metastasis in cancer. On the other hand, aneuploidy is detrimental during development. However, despite the detrimental effects of aneuploidy, most human pre-implantation embryos are mosaics of euploid and aneuploid cells, and the proportion of aneuploid cells is progressively depleted from embryos as the cell differentiation progresses from the blastocyst stage onwards. Therefore, could it be the undifferentiated state or de-differentiation of cells that might play a role in aneuploidy tolerance? Here I plan to study and compare aneuploidy tolerance during embryogenesis and in cancer, and investigate if differentiation and de-differentiation of cells play a role in this phenomenon. In the suggested experiments I will examine cells' response to chromosome segregation errors in human embryonic stem cell gastruloids (hESC), colorectal cancer organoids (CC), and normal colon organoids (NC) after aneuploidy induction with Msp1 inhibitor (+/- CENP-E inhibitors). Specifically, I will assess the cell proliferation rate, cell cycle progression and apoptosis with live-cell imaging, as well as transcriptional profiles using single-cell RNA-seq. Next, I will assess the same phenotypes after the addition of different growth factors that change the differentiation state of the cells. Ultimately, I would like to find the patterns shared between cancer cells and embryonic stem cells, which could be exploited for novel cancer therapies that would not be detrimental to somatic cells.

Reactivity studies for organic reactions have so far mainly been done in classical organic solvents (dichloromethane, acetonitrile, DMSO) which need oil or gas as feedstock, are hazardous and cause problems with the waste treatment. Given that almost all organic synthesis protocols need to be revised in a post-oil/gas era, non-toxic sustainable-by-design solvents which are based on renewable, plant-based raw materials will rapidly gain importance. Without reactivity data, however, an informed re-design of organic synthesis is impossible. ResolveByBio will deliver the data for defining the scope of electrophile-nucleophile reactions in biobased solvents, which will be used in the future. EU-located chemical suppliers have recently started to commercialize some of these biobased solvents. Though they have been considered expensive, the steep increase of prices for oil&gas-based chemicals makes them more and more attractive. Once established, scaling effects will make bio-based solvents strong price competitors of conventional solvents. However, these bio-based solvents are still awaiting broader acceptance in academia and commercial chemical applications. Integrating them in the currently most comprehensive reactivity scales (Mayr's Database of Reactivity Parameters) will foster their applications and significantly contribute to reducing the negative impacts of chemistry research and businesses on the environment. Thus, the data generated by the proposed project will deliver important building blocks for the conversion of the EU chemistry towards reaching the goals of the EU Green Deal by empowering chemists with the some of the most fundamental data that are required to change chemical processes.

The CALECHE project, for which this addition via Hop-On Facility is proposed, encompasses the development of a decision support system (DSS) linked to specific protocols (on-site initial evaluations - Heritage-Energy-Structure, engagement, monitoring) for the renovation of historic buildings. This DSS will implement a people-centered, holistic and digitalised approach on the whole cycle of the renovation process to take into account the multiple interacting benefits and cascading impacts, in compliance with national and international regulation of cultural value protection and management. Moreover, with a deliberate focus, CALECHE will improve the performance of 3 of the most promising technologies and techniques for the energy renovation of historic buildings, namely: 1) interior bio-insulation with high hygrometric performance, 2) a methodology that promotes the conservation and repair of windows and 3) custom solutions of building integrating photovoltaics (BIPV) as leading examples of technical innovation and renovation which will increase public acceptance towards the introduction of innovation in heritage buildings. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) plays a crucial role in the renovation of cultural heritage buildings in terms of preservation, since Cultural Heritage (CH) buildings often contain materials that are sensitive to environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity and air pollutants. Poor IAQ can lead to the deterioration of these materials, such as wood, textiles, paper, and stone. For example, high humidity can cause mold growth, while pollutants like sulfur dioxide can accelerate the corrosion of metal artifacts and marbles. CERTH's involvement via CALECHE-AIRLIFT aims to (a) enrich CALECHE’s DSS workplan in terms of Indoor Air Quality standards, (b) design, develop, calibrate and evaluate a IAQ monitor, (c) validate the innovative bio-insulation material for VOC emissions.

PACES offers a groundbreaking approach to studying and understanding people’s decisions to migrate and explores how this knowledge can better inform migration policies. PACES focuses on two parallel research components: the factors shaping migration decision-making and the mechanisms underpinning migration policies. Synthesizing theoretical and empirical knowledge from a broad array of academic disciplines and methodological paradigms, the project systematically investigates the interactions between migration decisions, migration policies and broader social transformation – as manifested in interconnected processes of economic, political, demographic, technological and cultural change. Based on a theoretical synthesis and qualitative and quantitative data collected in Algeria, Ethiopia, Italy, Tunisia, Niger, Slovakia and Spain, PACES will elaborate a heuristic model that identifies different constellations of conditions that shape decisions to stay and migrate at different stages of individual life trajectories and migrant journeys. In addition, by adopting a theories of change approach, PACES will systematically investigate, identify and track the assumptions on migration decisions used by policymakers to formulate policy designs and objectives. By exploring the evolution of EU and national policies towards labour and family migration, PACES investigates the extent to which current migration policies are evidence-based and areas where policies will benefit from valuable insights provided by migration decision-making research. By doing so, PACES seeks to contribute to elaborating more effective models of EU migration governance that also account for the uncertainties of future social transformations. Supported by an interdisciplinary consortium of experienced partners, PACES engages in co-participatory research with policymakers, stakeholders, citizens and migrants to generate maximum scientific, political and social impact.

The universality of the divide between nature and culture has been recently challenged by anthropology as researchers argued that this divide is specific to modernity and should not be generalized to capture the plurality of ways of conceiving humanity’s relation to the world. To account for the diversity of collective experience, the humanities and social sciences should decenter supposedly universal categories of Western modernity and reconceptualize the fundamental aspects of collective behavior beyond this ethnocentric bias. How does this pluralistic view of the world change our philosophical account of nature and culture? How can phenomenology explain the different modes of collective existence described by anthropology? The working hypothesis of COSMOS is that the interaction between phenomenological philosophy and anthropology can improve our conception of social experience and change the traditional view in which the distinction between nature and culture is assessed. While extensive literature has been devoted to the social world and the duality of nature and culture, phenomenological research on the anthropology of the lifeworld and the intersubjective aspects of nature and culture remains largely unexplored, especially when it comes to a discussion with concrete findings in anthropology. COSMOS aims to fill this gap and break new theoretical ground by providing a foundation for contemporary anthropology. It will draw upon the phenomenology of the social world of Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Alfred Schütz and recent research on social experience to provide a new view of the common world that integrates anthropology’s radical idea of diversity and plurality. By combining a phenomenological approach with anthropology’s findings and theoretical considerations, it aims to build on and impact recent research on sociality and contribute to changing sedimented views of nature and culture underpinning the division between natural and human sciences.
