Nanostructured dielectric and metallic photonic architectures can concentrate the electric field through resonances, increase the light optical path by strong diffraction and exhibit many other interesting optical phenomena that cannot be achieved with traditional lenses and mirrors. The use of these structures within actual devices will be most beneficial for enhanced light absorption in thin solar cells, photodetectors and to develop new sensors and light emitters. However, emerging optoelectronic devices rely on large area and low cost fabrication routes such as roll to roll or solution processing, to cut manufacturing costs and increase the production throughput. If the exciting properties exhibited by the photonic structures are to be implemented in these devices, then they too have to be processed in a similar fashion as the devices they intend to improve. This research plan is aimed to develop photonic electrodes that will enhance light matter interaction based on wave optics phenomena while being fabricated with techniques fully compatible with today’s mass production approaches, allowing seamless integration of wave optics components in current devices. The objectives of this proposal are: 1) to investigate the fundaments of the enhanced light-matter interaction observed in devices that use wave optics elements. 2) To develop fabrication routes for large area and low cost photonic and plasmonic structures using techniques similar to those employed in industry, so they could be easily incorporated in technologies such as roll to roll. 3) To fabricate prototype solar cells, photodetectors and sensors on top of photonic electrodes, demonstrating improved performance without deterioration of other figures of merit in the device. The results of the research plan will advance the state of the art in nanophotonics structures, providing the path towards a new generation of large-scale and low-cost photonic architectures.

Objective of the business innovation project is providing market readiness for our Mobile Energy Systems. BVB INNOVATE has developed mobile energy sources in co-operation with Fraunhofer Institutes, universities, and a Swiss mobile platform manufacturer. They are able to deliver clean electric energy to a broad variety of grid, off-grid and mobile applications. Technically, these Mobile Energy Systems are powerful 85 kWh Li-ion batteries ‘on wheels’. Mobile batteries can be charged with clean energies from rooftop photovoltaic installations, as well as from wind power or combined heat and power plants or from the grid. Main use-cases are mobile recharging, home and mobile energy storage, and autobahn rental. Fast-charging-network- and roadside-assistance-operators use our systems as mobile fast chargers. E-car drivers or home owners (with a rooftop PV installation) will use our systems for energy buffering and storage. While “parked” in the home owner’s garage, the mobile battery will serve the function of intelligent safe back-up power for the home, with additional “smart home” functionality. For the weekend, the mobile battery can be attached to the owner’s battery-powered electric vehicle for a long trip. An 85 kWh mobile battery is capable of taking a small electric car up to 600 kilometres. In addition, we will offer mobile batteries for rental at major arterial roads across the country. Owners of e-cars will have the option of renting rather than buying range-extending power packages. The business innovation project will bring a completely new integrated energy storage solution (technology readiness level 7) to the EU and global markets. It will be a game-changer in the field of recharging, energy buffering, and long distance travelling. The business innovation project is a necessary pre-requisite for company growth to 200 m EUR turnover and 380 personnel in 2020.

Critical Energy infrastructures (CEI) protection and security are becoming of utmost importance in our everyday life. However, cyber and system-theoretic approaches fail to provide appropriate security levels to CEIs, since they are often used in isolation and build on incomplete attack models, resulting in silos-like security management fragmented operational policies. To face these challenges, DEFENDER will (i) model CEIs as distributed Cyber-Physical Systems for managing the potential reciprocal effects of cyber and physical threats (ii) deploy a novel security governance model, which leverages on lifecycle assessment for cost-effective security management over the time (iii) bring people at centre stage by empowering them as virtual sensors for threat detection, as first level emergency responders to attacks, or by considering workforce as potential threats. DEFENDER will adapt, integrate, upscale and validate a number of TRL 4-5 technologies and deploy them within a TRL7 integrated yet adaptable framework for CEI security, resilience and self-healing “by design”, with a view to address, detect, and mitigate cyber-physical threats. To this aim DEFENDER framework will combine a range of devices/technologies for situational awareness (fixed sensors like PMUs, mobile devices like drones and advanced video surveillance) (ii) intelligent processing for cyber-physical threat detection with (iii) a toolbox for incident mitigation and emergency response and (iv) Human-In-The-Loop for managing people interaction with CEI, while leveraging on blockchain technology for peer-to-peer trustworthiness. The effectiveness of DEFENDER will be extensively validated on a CEI lab emulator (RWTH, Germany) and on 4 real life demonstrators (in France, Italy and Slovenia) fully covering the overall energy value chain, ranging from a bulk generation plant (ENGIE SA), to a decentralized RES generation one (BFP), a TSO HV network (ELES), to a DSO network (ASM) and a business prosumer.

Marine invertebrate Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) contribute to food security, nutrition and to national and global economies and growth. Despite their societal and ecological importance and vulnerability to rapid coastal changes, these fisheries remain frequently overlooked in fisheries research, lack of management plans and are marginalized in policy-making processes. Moreover, the role of women, actively involved in these fisheries, is not reflected in fisheries statistics and census data. There is an urgent need for a global perspective in the management of marine invertebrate SSF combined with local assessments and monitoring that integrate fisher’s perceptions,views and knowledge. SHELLFISH aims to understand the multiple social and ecological processes underlying and shaping marine invertebrate SSF, while developing inclusive tools and strategies for their long-term accountability and sustainability. To achieve these goals, the present project will undertake transdisciplinary research in a small, insular country that will display “magnifying glass” effect to the entire process: from theory to applied science to the influence of policy-making processes. SHELLFISH will link anthropological, ecological and fisheries approaches to (i) assess the diversity, extent and dynamics of marine invertebrate SSF, and (ii) identify ecological and social drivers of change, vulnerability and sustainability. Parallelly, the firmly entrenched political position of the host institution in the third country, and a series of wisely planned outreach activities will facilitate the incorporation of research outcomes into policy and governance actions. The project results will create stronger links between knowledge production and societal transformation, and will be of particular interest, including in Europe, where ecological, socio-cultural, economic and political factors are key to explain the vulnerability, resilience, intersectoral and gendered opportunities of the SSF sector.

Court theater was a core part of Chinese court and performance culture for centuries, yet its texts have never been amply studied. There are several reasons for this: their low status in Chinese literary history as ‘authorless’ performer’s texts; the vast (20,000+) quantity of texts and the difficulty of accessing them; and the lack of an existing analytic framework to study anonymous Chinese performance texts on such a large scale. Chinese court drama thus remains a ‘closed’ textual world, neglected in literary history. The lacuna is especially glaring given the quantity and richness of the extant texts: performance practices and other aspects of material culture are preserved alongside dramatic content. Furthermore, court theater was among the most ‘outward facing’ of all Chinese genres, shown to foreign ambassadors. Many visitors recorded what was often their only impression of Chinese theater culture. Chinese court theater thus contains a complex series of closed, disjointed textual worlds. To re-link these textual worlds, this project will build the first digital archive of court drama scripts and related foreign records. Based on this resource, the project will trace internal links between scripts in the textual web of court drama; draw external links to individuals, occasions, and artefacts; and consider cross-cultural links to situate Chinese court drama in its global context. The project will produce the first textual studies of Chinese court drama, including a court drama textual database, a series of monographs and publications on extended text-based research topics, and an anthology of English translations for the general reader. These outputs will remedy the lack of textual studies on Chinese court drama, contributing towards our understanding of Chinese theater history and world court cultures. The methodology the project develops to study a large corpus of authorless texts could be applied to other Chinese genres such as folk tales and dialect songs.

The aim of the CIPHR project is to establish the Center of Photonics and Computational Imaging (CPCI), a research unit within the University of Tartu (UTARTU) that will become a world leader in Computational Imaging, a sub field of photonics. We will establish this center by recruiting a leading expert in the field to serve as ERA Chair in Computational Imaging and Processing in High Resolution, who will in turn create a top-level research team capable of conducting cutting edge research that combines photonics with the computational power of computer science and optoelectronics. Computational Imaging is a vastly interdisciplinary field; therefore, it has the potential to become one of the most important industries in the future, offering a multitude of applications in 3D imaging, remote sensing, image compression, consumer electronics, security and defense, microscopy and healthcare diagnostics. To account for interdisciplinarity of Computational Imaging, the ERA Chair will build bridges between several fields that UTARTU is already strong at: optics and spectroscopy, machine vision, remote sensing, electronics and informatics. The ERA Chair will also establish strong links with the industrial actors, improve the quality of UTARTU's curricula and work to raise awareness about photonics and the benefits it can offer to society. As a result of ERA Chair's activities, UTARTU will achieve excellence in the field of photonics, develop an efficient system for research exploitation, improve knowledge and skills of future researchers by providing better education to them and raise UTARTU's profile among Estonian and international audiences.

Since the first observation of a gaseous Bose Einstein condensate , ultracold atoms have provided a unique perspective into the quantum world. In a few seconds a piece of hot metal is transformed into an extremely dilute, nanokelvin gas, which is governed by quantum statistics - a new state of matter. Quantum gases are so versatile that with the same apparatus one can, for example, explore superfluidity and ultracold chemical reactions, or even search for changes in fundamental constants . A new frontier of physics, with multidisciplinary appeal, explores topological states of matter, such as the ones predicted to emerge when quantum gases are immersed in a synthetic gauge field. This fellowship will give me the opportunity to work in establishing ultracold strontium (Sr) as a powerful experimental platform to shed light on outstanding problems of magnetism of quantum matter in periodic potentials. Our work will potentially impact other disciplines such as condensed matter and optics. Our specific research goals during this action are: 1. Demonstration of the paradigmatic Kondo lattice model (KLM) in an ultracold gas. 2. Creation of synthetic gauge fields with an alkaline earth element using an optical flux lattice. 3. Observation of synthetic gauge fields in a 4-dimensional lattice of SU(N)-symmetric strontium. This proposal is only possible and realistic since the host group of F. Schreck - the first group in the world to make a Sr BEC and the only one in Europe with such expertise - has a fully operational apparatus which produces quantum degenerate gases of strontium. This fellowship stay will be mutually beneficial: the host group will benefit from the researcher's experience with artificial gauge fields, and at the same time the fellow will receive world-class training and benefit from the international collaborations of F. Schreck.

The nanoform of Iron Oxide (n-Fe2O3) is a large-volume substance used in pigments. Nanoscale Fe2O3 pigments are used to a significant extent in consumer products such as household appliances made of coloured plastic composites. This application implies high probability of n-Fe2O3 release into the aquatic environment (especially during end-of-life processing of the plastics), where n-Fe2O3 may pose risks to freshwater and sediment organisms. Presently, very little is known about the biological interactions and the ecological risks of n-Fe2O3, as the available information addresses only short-term effects of pristine n-Fe2O3. Therefore, the goal of NanoERA is to develop concepts and methods, and to generate data to predict the long-term ecological effects and risks of n-Fe2O3 (fragments) released from end-of-life processing of a coloured plastic composite into the aquatic environment and to compare them to the pristine n-Fe2O3 used to produce the composite. In order to achieve this, the fellow will analyse how the physicochemical properties of the n-Fe2O3 (fragments) change in environmental (i.e. freshwater and sediment) and biological (cell culture) media and how these changes affect the biological interactions of these materials in aquatic organisms. The generated ecotoxicological effects data will be used to derive dose-response relationships and to quantitatively estimate the long-term ecological risks of the n-Fe2O3 (fragments). In the process of achieving the NanoERA scientific objectives the Marie Curie fellow will obtain training in transferable and technical skills. The fellow’s qualification match very well to the research programme, which promises that NanoERA will produce excellent scientific results, which will be broadly disseminated to achieve significant and long-lasting impact on the European objectives for safe and responsible nanoinnovation.

The Euro Crisis has had a transformative effect on the functional ambitions of the EU. It has, also, however, transformed the ways in which citizens can hold the EU institutions accountable. In the area of economic governance in particular, the post-crisis EU has created a significant new body of fiscal rules, managed largely by executive institutions. The nature of these rules, and the institutions entrusted to manage them, challenges our existing scientific understanding of accountability, creating considerable confusion among citizens as how economic decision-making in an EU context can be properly scrutinized. This project is devoted to addressing EU economic governance's 'post-crisis' accountability challenge. It will provide the first comprehensive and multi-disciplinary attempt to consider how EU decisions in the economic field can be challenged, either by political institutions or by individuals seeking judicial review. In doing so, it will seek to move beyond the disciplinary segmentation and conceptual limitations of current academic debates about accountability, combining legal analysis of decisions of national and EU Courts in economic governance with qualitative research on the political and functional constraints within which institutions reviewing economic decisions operate. The project will also carry a crucial normative dimension, using case studies in important fields of economic policy - from banking regulation to the coordination of national budgets - to map emerging accountability relationships and build recommendations on how to approach post-crisis accountability. Given the reach of EU economic governance into almost all domains of national policy, as well as the declining levels of public trust in EU action, identifying how a more accountable structure for EU policy-making could be built is a crucial scientific and societal task.
