The overall vision of FORTESIE is to design, demonstrate, validate and replicate innovative renovation packages in the building industry with Smart Performance-Based guarantees and financing, aiming at Efficient, Sustainable and Inclusive Energy (ESIE) use to accelerate the Renovation Wave in Europe. The renovation packages will combine state-of-the-art construction materials and technologies components (prefabricated facades, BIPV, heat pumps, etc.), innovative digital technologies for measurement and verification, and attractive financing (e.g. contractual frameworks for smart performance guarantees, financing mechanisms, engagement techniques, green-euros, etc.), to raise the overall EPC value proposition. The renovation packages will be tailored to specific target groups needs and optimised to improve the ESIE performance considering energy, CO2 and comfort. Each package will be demonstrated and validated in real life use cases and customised for replication in all other partner countries for immediate market take-up. Methodologies from Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) will be adopted for: a. the creation of collaborative business models that boost the Renovation Wave by considering all stakeholders’ value and revenue streams, b. novel incentivisation and behavioural change models that aim to stimulate long term engagement with focused interactions to adopt green behaviour c. the incorporation of a digital currency, green-euro, (€G) for financing, rewarding and creating an inclusive /collective narrative in the fight against climate change d. the collection of feedback for recommendations to policy and business stakeholders, e. Mapping and understanding the complex interplay between the different stakeholders to deliver an engagement strategy across the value chain.These demonstrations will potentially constitute the green-euro as a retail Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), hence revolutionising the financing of renovation approaches. An online marketplace, will be offering first level advice, directing consumers through the value chain of stakeholders and facilitating access to these “packaged” renovation services.

Petroleum-derived plastics produce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the primary cause of climate change, at every single stage of their life cycle. On the contrary, plant biomass is produced via photosynthesis, which involves the transformation of carbon dioxide (one of the GHGs), water, and light into chemical bonds. Therefore, using plant biomass to produce bioplastics removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and keeps it stored throughout the product's useful life. Therefore, NEOPLASTICS aims to valorize highly available, low-cost, and non-edible lignocellulosic and non-lignocellulosic vegetable waste to prepare bioplastics that represent an alternative to the traditionally used petroleum-derived polymers for agricultural and packaging applications. Specifically, this project will study the role of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as facilitators for transforming biomass into bioplastics. These compounds are gaining importance as solvents for vegetable waste valorization. They are usually used for biomass fractionation, and only a few recent works have reported their use in transforming natural polymers into bioplastics by acting either as solvents or as plasticizers. These researches represent only a starting point for what it is possible to do with these innovative solvents, whose main advantage is that it is possible to tune their physicochemical properties by varying the nature and ratio of their constituents, which in turn can lead to a wide range of materials properties for different applications. The project introduced here is highly ambitious. It will not only provide advantages such as zero waste generation, contribution to the circular economy, and a low carbon footprint manufacturing process, but it will also boost the career of the experienced researcher and enrich the knowledge and experiences of both the researcher and the host institution, impacting positively on the scientific community, the civil society, and the business sector.

How common must a behavior be, before a reluctant person decides to conform? And can information campaigns and behavioral interventions instigate enough change to transition to a new norm with the least disruption? The project addresses these topical questions, contributing key insights to the ecological transition. The netzero transition poses unprecedented societal challenges, that cannot be tackled with technology and markets alone. It requires behavioral and social change. Abandoning entrenched detrimental norms, including those that perpetuate the fossil-fueled lock-in, is notoriously difficult, preventing change and limiting policy efficacy. A nascent literature tackles Social Tipping Interventions -STI, aiming at cost-effective disproportionate change, by pushing behaviors past an adoption threshold beyond which further uptake is self-reinforcing. Intervening on target groups can greatly reduce the societal cost of a policy and thus holds promise for precipitating change. Yet, research in this field is confined to theory or small-scale experiments. GREEN TIPPING aims to provide an innovative and rigorous analysis of the untapped potential of tailored interventions to scale sustainable behavior and trigger systemic shift. To this end, I plan a four-pronged approach: posit, test, refine, validate. The team derives predictions on the conditions and timing for abandoning a detrimental social norm. We then test the effectiveness of a battery of interventions on representative multi-country samples, to quantify the hypothesized effects. This allows for refining target specific STI, to be tested in controlled group experiments. Lastly, we validate the findings by assessing contagion in the field, focusing on renewable energy adoption in targeted samples elsewhere. The interdisciplinary approach draws from the natural and social sciences, with transformative theoretical, experimental and policy advances relevant to environmental and other high-stake challenges.

Aquatic urban ecosystems are extremely relevant connectors between people, animals and plants and provide a valuable resource to liaise health and environmental observations with a potential impact on prediction and prevention. In urbanized areas, aquatic ecosystems constitute ecological corridors between fragmented natural areas supporting a wide biodiversity and variety of ecosystem services, improving the sustainability of cities. Yet, these ecosystems are often degraded by lack of space, cuts of riparian vegetation, artificialization of the channels, impervious areas in the margins, water pollution, noise, excessive lights, among others. This degradation can lead to numerous disservices to human populations, and increase the probability of the emergence of pathogens, lower disease resistance of wildlife and humans, increasing the probability of disease severity and diseases associated with reduced physical activity and permanence in stressful environments found in cities. In view of this, OneAquaHealth aims to demonstrate that the health of freshwater ecosystems and human health and wellbeing in urban contexts are highly interconnected as improving one results in the improvement of the other, reestablishing the balance between nature and humans. To this aim, OneAquaHealth will promote environmental monitoring of early warning indicators that can assess that balance. It will provide decision-makers with a AI-based Environmental Surveillance System able to support adequate and timely decisions and providing effective recovery measures of aquatic ecosystems health (and consequently human health) adequate for different scenarios, including climate changes. OneAquaHealth will involve all relevant stakeholders in the process raising their awareness to the importance of urban streams and rivers and supporting them with adequate digital tools to guarantee environmental monitoring beyond the project duration.

Parenting practices, such as discipline techniques and sensitive caregiving, are vital to human development, and they tend to be passed down the generational line. Currently, we mainly know how intergenerational transmission of parenting works on average. Empirical studies on intergenerational transmission of parenting are often relatively small and homogeneous. Consequently, we do not know which parenting dimensions are most likely to be echoed across generations, nor do we understand under which conditions and in which developmental periods intergenerational transmission of parenting is stronger or weaker. By using an Individual Participant Data (IPD) meta-analysis, the Beyond the Average (BTA) project moves beyond average descriptions of intergenerational transmission of parenting. As such, the BTA project has the following objectives: [1] Identify parenting dimensions that are more and less likely to be transmitted across generations; [2] Identify factors that account for the degree of intergenerational continuity and discontinuity in parenting; [3] Add a developmental perspective to models on intergenerational transmission of parenting; and [4] Implement state-of-the-art IPD meta-analyses to examine individual differences in the field of developmental psychology. This project will result in robust and detailed knowledge on intergenerational transmission of parenting, thereby answering to the widely supported call to prioritize across-study-replication and robustness checks. Moreover, the knowledge obtained through this project will help tailor prevention efforts towards specific populations, developmental periods, and parenting dimensions.

RNA is vital for cellular processes that include transcription, translation, and gene expression, making it an attractive drug target. However, deciphering the selective interaction between small molecules and RNA remains challenging due to RNA's dynamic structure and limited chemical functionality. Although FDA-approved drugs like Evrysdi have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of RNA binding small molecules, precise and reliable methods for targeting the interactions remain underdeveloped. This project aims to develop a Small Molecule-Assisted RNA Targeting and Reverse Transcription (SMART-RT) method to address this important challenge. The primary objective of SMART-RT is to create an in-situ interaction map of small molecules that interact with RNA or RNA-associated proteins (RBPs) in live cells. This innovative method will use RNA/RBP-binding small molecules to induce proximal reverse transcription (RT), enabling precise and sensitive mapping of RNA sequences and their interactions in their native cellular environment through downstream sequencing. By overcoming the limitations of current methods, SMART-RT will offer a detailed map of RNA/RBP interactions with small molecules, providing new insights and opportunities for the targeting of RNA biology and facilitating the discovery of novel therapeutics. This multidisciplinary project combines chemical biology, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry to map RNA/RBP-small molecule interactions, using cutting-edge biotechnology for scientific exploration. It leverages my expertise in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry, providing extensive RNA technology training and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. Aligned with MSCA’s goals of promoting innovation and knowledge transfer, the project will advance scientific discovery and technological development. Awarded MSCA Fellow will boost my research independence and equip me as group leader in biotechnology, enabling significant contributions to the field.
