BRiDGE – Bridge for Researchers in Danger Going to Europe enhances the support of 220 refugee researchers (RR) during the 24 project months, with special attention paid to early and late stage post doc researchers and professors of all ages, especially those located in Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. The case-to-case support focuses on career development advisory services, training, and academic and non-academic mentoring for the RRs. The project transfers the given knowledge and experience to the EURAXESS network, the largest relevant network in Europe. BRiDGE one: From South East Europe to its heart gives an all-in-one solution for the localized guidance of RRs in the European Research Area (ERA) and enables its 40 EURAXESS country members in the ERA to seize the unique chance they have to identify and utilise the potential of RRs across Europe. BRiDGE two: From displaced to integrated guides the overall 220 RRs in the restarting of their career, and provides instructive and motivating materials to academic and non-academic mentors, mainly in form of a handbook (vlog), including 12 testimonies of RRs. BRiDGE three: From asylum to research involves and supports 200 academic mentors for RRs, trains 30 of the latter along with 90 RRs to be orientated within the ERA and use the provided resources. BRiDGE four: From individual cases to systematic policy recommendations promotes the best practices in the EURAXESS network through trainings and activities, and forms a network and pool of experts visible on the EURAXESS Science4Refugees site. BRiDGE also stands for a strengthened quality assurance method. BRiDGE enables RRs in conclusion to establish relationships with potential colleagues and supervisors, to improve their own situation, skills and experience, and to estimate their professional perspectives, and therefore, tackles the core challenges for integration in a new productive environment and inclusion into the European societies.

The ORBIT project targets the environmental and competitiveness challenge of the European aeronautics sector, by addressing the topic of experimental validation rig testing to develop aerodynamic technologies for the multi-stage IP turbine of the Very High Bypass Ratio engine (VHBR). The advancement of multi-stage IP Turbine technologies, as an important contributor to the VHBR engine concept, will participate significantly to the global objectives from Clean Sky2, which aim towards achievement of ACARE flight-path 2050 ambitious goals about CO2, NOx and Noise emissions. The global objectives of this proposal are therefore aligned with the targets marked by Rolls-Royce for the Middle of Market Technology configuration. This proposal will deliver individual improvements in sub-system technology developments, to support the overall development of system level technologies capable of delivering substantial reductions in emissions. The specific objectives of CTA as applicant partner, include all the tasks to permit the experimental validation of relevant aerodynamic technologies (i.e. design, manufacture, assembly and finally testing and post-processing). First four work packages propose the test of innovative geometries to assess the improved losses and reduction in the generated noise. The fifth work package is committed for the comparison of the former results with relevant reference rig tests, as an opportunity to integrate the new knowledge and enable the application of the innovations. To guarrantee the success of this proposal, it is required to develop European world-class test capability that includes the acquisition of testing and measurement. Experience from the participation in previous R&T European programmes is key to minimize program risks and deliver successfully aerodynamic rig test programmes in the required time scales. Finally, the ORBIT project considers activities for the dissemination and exploitation of the results to maximize the expected impact on competitiveness.

Food waste has received global attention as a major sustainability challenge, with significant implications for the economy, society and the environment. At the same time, it represents a global paradox: whilst a large amount of the food produced each year is wasted, there are huge numbers of people suffering from hunger. SavingFood offers a novel approach to tackle food waste by turning this environmental issue into an innovative solution to fight hunger. The project builds on the collaborative power of ICT networks and creates an online community of citizens, food waste stakeholders and policy makers that through knowledge creation and sharing they are empowered to take direct action and become part of the suggested food waste solution. Through the use of advanced open source tools connected to a social networking environment SavingFood facilitates the redistribution of surplus food to those in need, ensures that no food is wasted through lack of communication, supports the participation of people in organised as well as ad hoc events around food saving and encourages wide debate. Leveraging on the collaborative power of social networks and by activating the collective intelligence of citizens SavingFood seeks to create a social movement for tackling food waste and influence lifestyles towards a more sustainable future.

The Earth System is impacted continually by dozens of volcanic eruptions per year. Predicting their collective effects is hampered by our incomplete mechanistic understanding of eruptive and post-eruptive processes. The activity of explosive volcanic systems especially, is a key to the evolution of our world, not only for the eruptive catastrophes themselves but also for the massive injection of volcanic materials into the critical zone of the Earth System. (e.g. Ayris and Delmelle, 2012; Baldini et al., 2015; Dingwell, 1996; Dingwell et al., 2012; Martin et al., 2009; Robock, 2000). For this reason - as well as the many pragmatic issues of living with active volcanism – a mechanistic understanding explosive volcanism and the interaction of its products in the Earth System is a grand challenge of modern Earth Sciences. Fortunately, three recent experimental breakthroughs bring the challenge of mechanistic understanding within our grasp: these are the development of in situ high temperature 1) synchrotron-based real-time imaging techniques for deforming systems (Baker et al., 2012; Wadsworth et al., 2016). 2) acoustic monitoring of failure and fragmentation processes in exploding magma (Arciniega et al., 2015) and 3) dynamic ash-gas environmental reaction chambers (Ayris et al., 2015). Accompanying these experimental advances, have been fundamental advances in our mechanistic view of magma ascent and eruption (Tuffen et al., 2003; Gonnermann and Manga, 2003; Lavallée et al., 2008; Castro and Dingwell, 2009), volcano seismicity (Arciniega et al., 2015; Vasseur et al., 2017) , and the fate of volcanic ash (Delmelle et al., 2018; Renggli et al., 2018). Vast experimental expertise, together with the global impact of our work to date, place me uniquely to exploit these recent advances and to bring the impact of an experimental approach to volcanology to its fullest potential, with Europe at its forefront.

The objective of MILIEU (“woMen dIsabiLity and Inclusion – Scientific Excellence in BUlgaria”) is to create a networking collaboration between the Institute for the Study of the Societies and Knowledge of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (ISSK-BAS) and two high renowned Universities: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) and Università degli Studi di Genova(Italy), with the final aim of increasing ISSK-BAS scientific excellence and visibility, research innovation capacity and of enabling frontier research at the crossroad of studies on women, disability and inclusion. Such research topics are almost totally unaddressed in Bulgaria, therefore MILIEU will also bring significant research and societal impacts in the long term, as well as introducing a new line of research at ISSK-BAS and in Bulgaria, related to disability studies, feminist disability studies, and gender. For the achievement of its objectives, the project will rely on a variegated set of methods, such as: 1) interdisciplinarity and knowledge sharing, 2) capacity building, 3) participatory approach, 4) inclusivity and sustainability and 5) far-reaching methods for communication and engagement. The Twinning exercise will build on an appropriate set of key actions – with a strong focus on ESR engagement –from joint training and research paths, to bilateral meetings, from short visits to dedicated conferences and summer schools, leading to new research opportunities and joint research projects in the field. The organization of networking and outreaching activities, inter alia conferences and dissemination events as well as liaison activities with similar projects, will contribute to the visibility of ISSK-BAS and of the other EU partners in the field. Finally, to ensure transferability and uptake of results as well as sustainability of MILIEU after the project end-date, final recommendations and guidelines to policymakers and to other institutions in Widening countries will be produced.

The global probiotics market is flourishing and anticipated to grow substantially in the coming years due the highly promising application of next-generation probiotics (NGPs) as live biotherapeutic products (LBPs). Whereas traditional probiotics are mainly derived from non-human origins with limited positive effects, NGPs are human-derived and play a key role in a healthy microbiota. All major probiotic companies are now moving into this field, however they are struggling with product development due to the intrinsic properties of NGPs. As a result, no NGP products have successfully reached the market yet. NGP product development requires radically new techniques for cultivation and production. This untapped market segment is highly attractive for Winclove. To tackle this problem, Winclove is developing the NOVOBIOME platform – covering the full cycle of NGP product development. Winclove’s approach leverages its already functional in-house facilities and infrastructure and combines it with innovative models and technological methods that can fast-track the timeline of NGP product to market for our clients. Winclove, an innovative Dutch SME, is a leader in microbiota-management, which has been offering services in research, development and manufacturing of probiotic formulations for over 25 years. Winclove has been very successful in growing the company into a sustainable business with 73 FTE, growing 14% per annum on average. It provides its services to over 80 customers in 35 countries worldwide. As such, it has sold via its clients over 130 million daily dosages in 2018. Winclove aims to provide the NOVOBIOME platform as a B2B fee for service to dedicated innovative companies that are working on NGP-based LBPs. Winclove anticipates to generate €8M in turnover within the first 5 years of commercializing the NOVOBIOME platform. This SME-1 instrument project NOVOBIOME phase 1 enables Winclove to investigate the requirements to maximize the European commercialization

The heavy involvement of the EU in the field of minority rights during the EU enlargement process to Central Eastern Europe (CEE) fostered the impression that problems related to national minorities had been largely resolved by the time the respective states joined the Union. By contrast, recent research indicated that the level of minority rights protection seems to have stagnated or even deteriorated in the post-accession period, which is counterintuitive to the positive expectations that followed these countries’ EU integration. The argument put forth here is that scholarly accounts of minority rights in the region focus too much on the role of international protection while treating minority representatives as disempowered actors to be defended, and failing to consider their potential for action to assert the rights that formally belong to them. The project’s interdisciplinary approach, combining legal studies with political science, will produce the first account of the agency and legal mobilisation of minorities in CEE, moving forward the scholarly debate beyond the current emphasis on structural conditions. The proposed research will therefore investigate the situation of minority rights through the lens of litigation and legal mobilization in two new EU Member States, Romania and Hungary and an EU candidate country, Serbia. The proposed project addresses four major, closely inter-related research questions: Which rights these minorities have claimed through litigation and which they have not, and what could explain their activism in some cases as opposed to others? Which legal mobilization strategies have led to favourable court decisions, which have resulted in negative rulings and what are the main factors accounting for these outcomes? Why some rights given by law are not enforced in practice? Finally: what could be achieved through litigation concerning minority rights in terms of policy reform and social change?

Silver coinage formed the backbone of state finance in Classical antiquity. The fineness and quality of a coinage is often taken by historians to be a comment on the fiscal health of the issuing state, yet very little is really known about its fineness and chemical composition, and many of the existing analyses are inadequate to answer key questions. Samples for analysis are commonly taken from the surfaces, or from just beneath the surfaces, of silver coins, and these are not representative of the original alloys used, leading to erroneous estimates of overall composition. The aim of the project is to examine financial and monetary strategies from c. 150 BCE to a major coin reform in c. 64 CE – a period that witnessed the creation of an overarching currency for the Mediterranean world and increasing monetisation – by providing a detailed and reliable set of analyses of the chemical composition of all major silver coinages of the period, obtained by taking samples from deep within the coins. It will also evaluate two new, non-destructive techniques to see how they compare with established protocols. The period witnessed a major increase in long distance trade and probably also economic growth and a rise in per capita income. Roman conquest led to greater economic and monetary integration of the Mediterranean area, and Rome’s apparent currency monopoly may have had its own consequences for the development of coinage and management of finances. Flows of precious metals to Rome and other important centres of power helped to finance Roman expansion, and understanding the chemical composition of silver coinage will transform our understanding of Roman monetary strategy as an instrument of imperialism.
