This research examines the ways in which creativity can be expanded through spirituality in women’s contributions to popular music. Women’s spiritual explorations bring together some of the most important political and religious dimensions of contemporary life, but their research treatment remains confined to the status of sexualized Other. This research focuses on the unvetted artistic languages women use to express spirituality to yield a new understanding of the role of spirituality on creativity and the contributions of women as creative agents, analyzing metal and hip-hop music to understand: 1) the interrelation of spirituality with women’s identity, 2) how spirituality affects their perceptions of the music as a dialectical language, and 3) the influence that spirituality has on their creativity and production processes. The researcher will implement an interdisciplinary methodology to analyze 10 case studies and carry out 10 interviews with musicians. These techniques will be leveraged by theoretical considerations for studying religions, including Critical Discursive Study of Religion -developed by Prof. Hjelm- to guide a discursive analysis of lyrics and performances. The study will contribute to making women’s artistic spiritual practice visible, expanding understanding of the articulation between spirituality, identity, and creativity in popular music through a comprehensive analytical perspective that includes the musical process as a whole. To ensure the successful implementation of this project, the researcher will conduct the study at the University of Helsinki with the guidance of Prof. Hjelm, a leading scholar in the field of religious studies. The MSCA Fellowship will prepare the researcher to be competitive at the international level for advanced funding, strengthening her academic profile, and allow her to conduct subsequent follow-up studies in art education based on her findings.

The LIFELONGMOVE project is the first of its kind to comprehensively and systematically examine spatial mobility from early age into adulthood (i.e. lifelong mobility). Research has only started to address the increasingly diverse and complex ways individuals engage in spatial mobility over the life course, and in relation to the growing inequality of opportunity. While backgrounds and circumstances in childhood shape life chances and outcomes in a later age, the extent to which childhood mobility contributes to diversity in life paths and stratified outcomes in adulthood is largely unknown. LIFELONGMOVE brings together and integrates bodies of research that study spatial mobility in childhood and in adulthood separately, and provides new insight on the pathways, resources, and strategies that underlie lifelong mobility. This insight will help formulate alternatives to the conventional explanations of spatial mobility patterns, behaviours, and stratified outcomes over the life course. LIFELONGMOVE has three main innovative objectives: (i) to document the diverse and complex pathways of lifelong mobility (by examining long-term trajectories from early childhood into adulthood); (ii) to establish whether (and how) childhood mobility influences spatial mobility over the life course; and (iii) to document the impact of lifelong mobility on life conditions, by focusing on socio-economic, family, and health outcomes. To address these objectives, LIFELONGMOVE innovates by adopting a novel approach that recognizes the experiences and resources accumulated since an early age that underlie the rationales, opportunities, and restrictions for mobility behaviour, and their associated outcomes in a later age. LIFELONGMOVE breaks new ground by examining large-scale longitudinal datasets from integrated administrative registers and panel surveys that recently enabled this study for a range of European contexts, using a series of advanced quantitative methods.
UPSCALING OF INNOVATIVE PROCESSES FOR THE RECYCLING OF PET FROM COMPLEX WASTES: A CASE STUDY INVOLVING MECHANICAL AND ENZYMATIC SORTING APPLIED TO TYRES, TEXTILES AND HOSES (WHITECYCLE)

PET is widely used in plastics and textiles leading to over 20 Mt/y of complex waste worldwide for which no closed-loop recycling is viable today. Most complex waste is landfilled or incinerated. There is an urgent need to develop a circular solution to convert complex PET wastes from plastics and textiles back into high-added value products. WHITECYCLE unites 3 brand-owners, 1 PET converter, 2 waste managers, 1 digital deeptech for smart sorting, the world leading enzymatic recycling SME, 1 LCA company, 3 UNIs/RTOs, 1 cluster and 1 management firm. They aim to demonstrate two new processes combining strong scientific and industrial know-how: (i) innovative identification, sorting and separation technologies that will dramatically increase the PET content of complex waste streams to 80%, and (ii) a disruptive enzymatic recycling process that is expected to yield pure PET monomers sustainably even for impure waste streams. PET monomers obtained will be repolymerised and recycled. Thus, 2 t of waste will be used to demonstrate 3 highly technical PET-containing pilot series: 100 tyres, 1,500 m of lay-flat hoses and 400m2 of multicomponent fabric that will be coated and used to manufacture 4 lines of technical garments. Process design kits, LCA and production cost estimates will be provided to PET manufacturers and waste management companies for rapid deployment and assure social acceptance. First projections show that WHITECYCLE’s recycled PET will be competitive with virgin PET. The project will conduct a full circle loop from real complex waste feedstock to representative product of the 3 use-cases at TRL 5. Then, a strong upscale study will allow the process steps to reach TRL 6 to 8. By 2030, WHITECYCLE will enable the annual recycling of more than 2 Mt of PET, which corresponds to the amount of additional recycled PET needed to meet the EU’s 2030 targets. This will reduce emissions by around 2.06 Mt CO2eq and avoid the landfilling of more than 1.8 Mt of PET.

Technology can enhance animal welfare by allowing animals greater control over their environment and choice over their social connections. Current animal-computer interfaces are often repurposed from human technology, neglecting animals' diverse physical capabilities, sensory perceptions, and cognitive processes. For instance, touch screens suited to human fingers pose challenges for animals with paws, beaks, or unique appendages, while human-based cognitive models underlying these interfaces potentially misinterpret or overlook critical aspects of animal cognition and behaviour. This disconnect between technology and animal users hinders effective interaction and constrains our capacity to gain accurate insights into animal minds. To address this challenge, FUTUREFAUNA's ultimate goal is to draw from empirical evidence to develop a comprehensive framework for designing, implementing and adapting technologies for animal users. The ambition is to fundamentally reshape how animals implement control over their environment and provide radically different opportunities for social connections to improve their well-being. This level of agency will allow us new ways to observe how animals make choices, solve problems, and navigate social situations when given tools that match their abilities. FUTUREFAUNA framework extends classic animal behaviour studies by offering new insights and scalable, documented approach. In the long term, FUTUREFAUNA will open up a new frontier to expand the use of information technology. It tests the foundations of human-computer interaction by looking at new ways to understand users and creating entirely new avenues for studying animal intelligence and social structures. By providing animals with more nuanced and species-appropriate ways to interact with their environment and each other, researchers will be able to explore questions about animal consciousness, emotional intelligence, and cognitive flexibility that were previously out of reach.

The SURFER project aims to facilitate the widespread deployment of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) by demonstrating the use of flexible electrolysers as dynamic energy buffers and stabilise multiple types of energy networks, focusing primarily on power grids, but also considering heat valorisation and isolated or weak grids. SURFER will validate the capabilities of PEMEL, AEL and SOEL electrolysers to rapidly modulate their operation to accommodate fluctuations in renewable energy supply, grid demand and waste heat when available. Through multiple demonstrations across diverse European sites, including operational environments in France, Germany, and Norway, the project will improve the integration of these electrolyser technologies into the energy system. The partners will be the first in the world to provide grid services with electrolysis plants. To achieve these objectives, the partners will demonstrate the dynamic operational flexibility of electrolysis plants, understand and model their dynamic behaviours, innovate power electronics for improved responsiveness, integrate these plants effectively into energy grids, simplify the RFNBO certification processes, while ensuring rigorous safety standards under dynamic operational conditions, and reducing the LCOH for wider access to renewable hydrogen. SURFER's multi-disciplinary consortium of leading research institutions, (hydrogen) industry experts, and grid operators will address the complexities of electrolyser dynamics and energy system integration, significantly advancing beyond the state-of-the-art. SURFER will enable electrolysis plants to make additional revenues from power grid stabilising, also making the latter more resilient and decarbonised with increased VRES penetration and maximisation of their use. The project will improve energy security and drive down costs thanks to additional sources of revenues and heat integration, thus supporting Europe's energy transition goals.

In recent years, a general decline has been documented in several agriculturally relevant woody plants, and numerous reports point towards a possible role of the plant-associated microbiome. This especially applies to grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) and to the recent outbreak of grapevine trunk diseases (GTD). This cluster of fungal diseases is considered the greatest challenge in modern viticulture, due to the complexity of the different pathosystems and the lack of reliable control strategies. During the last >100 years, vineyards have been routinely treated with fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Recent research have demonstrated that such treatments and other anthropic intervention (e.g., domestication, grafting, training) affect the plant-associated microbiome. These human-driven alterations, exacerbated by grapevines clonal propagation process, are believed to have led to an imbalance in grapevines endophytic microbiome, which may be a key explanation for the recent success of GTD-associated pathogens. The best candidates to investigate the composition of a balanced wood microbiome, unaffected by anthropic activities, are wild populations of V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris (VVS). In this multidisciplinary project, I will join the fields of plant pathology, epigenetics and microbial ecology to (1) unravel the endophytic microbiome diversity of wild populations of VVS, using DNA metabarcoding and in vitro isolation techniques; (2) re-introduce endophytes isolated from VVS in cultivated grapevines, by means of a synthetic microbiome transfer; (3) assess the efficacy of the synthetic microbiome in antagonizing GTD-associated pathogens, a next-generation approach to biological control. The outcomes of this project will not only contribute to advance our understanding of grapevine endophytes ecology, but have also the potential to provide a concrete solution to viticulture, for the benefit numerous European and non-European countries.

Political thought has always been permeated by personifications. A personification is the graphic or rhetorical representation of an abstract idea as a person. Thanks to the device of personification, notions like liberty, power, the state, and the nation acquire concrete form, as characters in a narrative of real-life events. Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan and France's Marianne are pre-eminent models of European state personifications. These figures expressed an idea of order and civilization in opposition to a common counterpart: savage America. But what if America resisted this characterization? My research delves into that question. It develops a genealogy of the conceptual pair order/disorder expressed through personifications of Europe and America from the 17th to the mid-19th centuries. Furthermore, it innovates by examining an underexplored subject: the original disruption of this opposition by the Argentine thinker Domingo Sarmiento. He constructed a personification of the Argentine state that displayed a highly efficient political order, which I term a "racialized Leviathan". This project primarily adopts the methodology of conceptual history, interpreting texts, symbols, and concepts related to these personifications within their intellectual and historical contexts. It also incorporates insights from postcolonial studies. In addition, it draws on approaches from literary studies and art theory to elaborate a formal definition of the concept of personification, and to explore the way in which works of art articulate ideas. The main breakthroughs of this project are: a) A pioneering historicization of state personifications, hitherto mostly studied in its European formats, but overlooked in its Latin American reception; b) Interdisciplinarity due to the combination of history of political thought, postcolonial studies, literary studies, and art theory; c) The questioning of a pervasive conceptual framework that has associated America with political disorder.

The INspire platform can enable and enhance the penetration of various types of large protein-based biologics, e.g., antibodies, nanobodies, proteins or enzymes, into cancer cells, allowing them to reach intracellular-targets currently considered undruggable and/or unreachable. This innovative platform aims to enable protein-based biologics to bind to targets within cells, departing from the conventional approach where biologics merely attach themselves to the external surface of cancer cells. Through INspire, we have successfully delivered various biological protein-based agents such as VHHs, monobodies and DARPins, for several targets (BRAF, KRAS, HPV–E7) specifically to tumor cells, outstandingly overcoming the fundamental challenges of the intracellular delivery of biologics.
