The project aims to produce the groundwork for a larger and more ambitious interdisciplinary study of the ‘poetics of experience’ in English vernacular poetry, ca. 1360–1450, in the context of the wider intellectual and scientific developments in European scholastic Philosophy, Theology, and the Natural Sciences over the longer period between c 1215 and 1500. The primary aim of the project is to explore the full range and complexity of the engagement with experience found in the work of English poets working between 1360 and 1450, and evaluating the larger cultural and intellectual-historical significance of what we call an emerging ‘poetics of experience’. A related, broader aim is that of exploring the divergence between the medieval and the modern understanding of ‘experience’, shaped by the fundamentally different models of science and knowledge that dominate those two historical periods. While the project concentrates on literary texts in the vernacular (English and, to a lesser extent, French), it aims to provide a much more nuanced and precise description of the interactions between Latin, academic discourses on experience, and vernacular explorations of this important topic. Materials examined will therefore include the writings of scholastic authors on experience, with particular attention to the work of English (or rather ‘insular’) authors, as well as the work of scholastic thinkers whose ideas demonstrably contributed to shape the wider debate on experience in England during the period in question. Beyond this, the project will also examine evidence provided by non-scholastic Latin texts and discourses on experience that would have shaped the immediate cultural and intellectual environment within which English poets wrote.This will include, for instance, monastic, mystical, and Victorine ideas and theories of experience; evidence gleaned from pastoral and devotional literature; and earlier literary texts in Latin, French, and Italian where relevant.

In the next future, the global population growth will increase the demand for animal derived food. The livestock sector development is a compelling societal challenges to ensure animal welfare, consumers health and the productivity and environmental sustainability of the livestock system. To replace imported soybean and fishmeal as protein sources in the young animal dietary, RAPSODY aims at developing innovative functional foods transforming by-products derived from European agriculture (rapeseed, sunflower and other matrices) and alternative feed source (seaweeds) through the application of bio-technology based fermentation processes aimed at: 1) increasing digestibility, 2) enhancing/balancing the amino acidic profile of the starting matrix. Compared to Soy Protein Concentrate and fishmeal, the benefits associated with the new products are: - Safer, cost-effective natural products for animal feeding, reducing harmful substances and synthetic additives in the final food; - Minimize imports, strengthening European self-sufficiency for the livestock sector RAPSODY will also provide an innovative business model for the production and commercialization of the final functional foods according to a “zero-miles” system, by localizing small productive plants near raw materials suppliers and final users. The model will boost the competitiveness of the livestock sector: the superior quality in terms of nutritional value and final food safety, together with competitive prices with respect to SPC and fishmeal, will allow the new products to acquire the 35% of the swine market share within 5 years, generating an annual turnover of 150 million euros/y The feasibility study will allow - The definition of the preliminary layout for the demonstration plant - the development of strategic partnership - The definition of the commercial strategy and marketing plan - to verify the economic sustainability of the envisaged business model - to outline of the most effective IPR management

Interferometry is a universal, precision metrology tool. Matter wave interferometers have been developed over the last decades and are now used as gravimeters for prospecting and geoscience and in fundamental studies, i.e. of quantum coherence, gravitational constant measurements and dielectric response. Research is ongoing for use as accelerometers for long distance, under-water navigation and for dark matter and gravitational field exploration in space. Monolithic interferometers, where diffraction slabs are cut into a single crystal, are particularly attractive in the latter contexts due to their unsurpassed thermal and mechanical stability. However, up till now no monolithic interferometers for atoms have been realised, because atoms cannot penetrate the diffraction slabs. This project presents a completely new idea: A reflective monolithic atom interferometer with reflective slabs cut into a silicon monolith. Two configurations are considered: i) Surface Diffraction: Scattering at the intermolecular potential of Si(111)-H(1x1) (can be used with light atom beams only) and ii) Quantum diffraction: scattering at the dispersion potential from a blazed grating (can be used with all atom beams). The aim of this project is to provide a theoretical model of the new interferometer based on realistic experimental conditions and use the model to evaluate the new instrument for dark matter/gravitational waves exploration, prospecting and navigation applications. The project connects interdisciplinary expertise - the applicant Dr. Fiedler, expert on the theoretical description of matter-wave optical devices, Prof. Holst, expert on matter wave instrumentation, machine learning expert, Ass. Prof. Parviainen and theoretical particle physicist Prof. Kersten. The applicant will learn machine learning techniques, while improving several transferable skills, including scientific and grant application writing, open data and research management and science communication skills.

Non-trophic species interactions such as epibiosis are poorly studied and their impact on food web properties not easily quantified. Using rotifers and their attached bacteria, this project analyses two hypotheses on epibiosis in freshwater systems. (1) Epibiont-derived organic carbon is transported to the predators together with the host and forms a shortcut through the food web from dissolved organic carbon to higher predators. (2) Potentially pathogenic bacteria can attach to zooplankton and migrate with them, dispersing through great distances to areas that are considered pristine. The project follows a bottom-up approach from experimental assessments of the uptake of single cells attached to rotifers to the statistical inference on the effects of rotifer and bacterial communities. The questions are addressed by state-of-the-art methodologies, (tracer uptake, chemostat experiments, next generation sequencing and statistical models) by combining the expertise of a microbial ecologist (the experienced researcher, ER) and an evolutionary ecologist working on animals (the host). The study will be the first one to quantify the impact of epibionts on carbon transfer to higher trophic levels and the host-mediated distribution of bacterial genotypes in nature. The cross-disciplinary training of RAVE will considerably distinguish the ER from other microbial ecologist and prepare her for a further career in the field of microbe-zooplankton interactions.

Humans have a remarkable ability to construct a complex conceptual representation of their own identity and personality. This self-concept plays a crucial role in everyday life; however, its neurobiological basis remains unknown. Here, we will use the state-of-the-art method of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) to characterize the neuronal representation of self-concept at the level of single-neurons in the medial prefrontal and medial temporal brain regions. IEEG will be recorded from awake human subjects, which is possible because a subset of neurosurgical patients requires placement of intracranial electrodes to identify the focus of epileptic seizures. We will conduct our studies during this monitoring time, with no added risk to the patients. Our data will provide unprecedented insights into the neuronal basis of the human self. Our findings will be of great interest to scientists in a broad range of disciplines, including neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, neurology, psychiatry, as well as to the general public. The supervisors are world-leading experts in the neural self-representation (Prof. Ehrsson) and iEEG (Prof. Fried). Their laboratories conduct excellent research, as documented by multiple high-impact publications. The host institution (Karolinska Institute) and the partner institution (University of California, Los Angeles) are among the best universities in the world. Together, the fellowship provides an exceptional opportunity for the experienced researcher to become a leader in his field; he will learn the unique method of iEEG and he will collect the very first data on the neuronal basis of the conceptual self.

The overall vision of the ECO-DRILLING project is to prototype, pilot, and commercialise our cost-effective and environmentally friendly full profile directional drilling technology for the global hydropower sector. ECO-DRILLING is the only solution capable of drilling upwards over long distances and high heads (up to 2km drilling length-1km altitude difference) using a non-rotatory drill string. Our disruptive technology has the potential to cut annual CO2 emissions with 13,860 tonnes in 5 years according to our sales proyections, reduce the environmental impact of drilling operations (e.g. by eliminating the need for building temporary access roads to the mountain top), and drilling costs by 50%. ECO-DRILLING will support the development of hydropower plants at locations currently unfeasible due to technical or environmental challenges. We have defined a subset of specific objectives covering final prototyping, validation, and commercialisation readiness activities. Achieving them will bring us to a wide market uptake. 1) Technology maturation objectives (WP1) to optimise the functionalities of ECO-DRILLING’s subsystems and integrate them into the final prototype to be piloted in real-life settings, raising ECO-DRILLING TRL from TRL7 to TRL8. 2) Piloting and validation objectives (WP2) to demonstrate ECO-DRILLING’s technical and economic performance, functionality, and user benefits through a large-scale piloting in real-life operating settings, elevating eco-drilling from TRL8 to TRL9. 3) Commercialisation readiness objectives (WP3-6) enabling us to successfully bring the ECO-DRILLING service to the market and reach sales traction beyond Phase 2. Through the ECO-DRILLING SME Phase 2 project we will significantly boost the growth in our company. We estimate that by year 5 after project closure, we will reach accumulated revenues of €138.0m, generate at least 37 new full-time positions, and accumulate profits of €61.5m, with 6.42 ROI.

In the long haul transport sector, the reduction of real driving emissions and fuel consumption is the main societal challenge. The LONGRUN project will contribute to lower the impacts by developing different engines, drivelines and demonstrator vehicles with 10% energy saving (TtW) and related CO2, 30% lower emission exhaust (NOx, CO and others), and 50% Peak Thermal Efficiency. A second achievement will be the multiscale simulation framework to support the design and development of efficient powertrains, including hybrids for both trucks and coaches. With the proposed initiatives a leading position in hybrid powertrain technology and Internal Combustion Engine operating on renewable fuels in Europe will be guaranteed. A single solution is not enough to achieve these targets. The LONGRUN project brings together leading OEMs of trucks and coaches and their suppliers and research partners, to develop a set of innovations and applications, and to publish major roadmaps for technology and fuels in time for the revision of the CO2 emission standards for heavy duty vehicles in 2022 to support decision making with most recent and validated results and to make recommendations for future policies. The OEMs will develop 8 demonstrators (3 engines, 1 hybrid drivelines, 2 coaches and 3 trucks); within them technical sub-systems and components will be demonstrated, including electro-hybrid drives, optimised ICEs and aftertreatment systems for alternative and renewable fuels, electric motors, smart auxiliaries, on-board energy recuperation and storage devices and power electronics. This includes concepts for connected and digitalised fleet management, predictive maintenance and operation in relation to electrification where appropriate to maximise the emissions reduction potential. The 30 partners will accelerate the transition from fossil-based fuels to alternative and renewable fuels and to a strong reduction of fossil-based CO2 and air pollutant emissions in Europe

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from stem cells (SCs) may recapitulate the therapeutic effect of their mother cells in regenerative medicine while mitigating risks of uncontrolled replication, differentiation and vascular occlusion, offering “off-the-shelf”, storage and shelf-life gains. Yet, the clinical translation of SC EV therapy is hampered by production, engineering and administration challenges. Building on my preliminary results, ExocyTher aims at developing SC EV therapy through: (1) standardized scalable high-yield EV production: I propose the concept of turbulence vesiculation to induce EV release from adipose SCs (ASCs) by a controlled turbulence shear stress integrated to large-scale cell culture in bioreactors; (2) optimised delivery: I propose EV administration in a synergic fistula-occlusive companion gel (injectable at <20°C and gelling at body temperature) in the attempt to fill the entire fistula tract and retain EVs at the site of interest; ExocyTher will tackle the therapy of fistulas, a major health burden related to Crohn's disease or secondary to surgery, cancer therapy or trauma, affecting millions of people in Europe with a high morbidity rate. All-in-one turbulence-triggered vesiculation and priming are expected to provide ASC EVs in high yield and with improved immunomodulatory properties specially for a more efficient therapy of inflammatory Crohn’s disease fistulas. Capitalizing on the use of a gel medical device authorized in Europe as an off-label fistula occlusive EV vehicle and considering key regulatory issues, ExocyTher will set the basis for the first clinical trial on ASC EV fistula therapy. ExocyTher concepts may be extended to other EV parent cell types or therapy indications, foreseeing a high scientific and technological impact. Start date is requested due to the COVID-19 pandemic and this is necessary to minimise any disruption could be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
