MAP-MISINFO is a proposal for a two-year European MSCA Fellowship at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), within the Department of Communication (COMM). It proposes examining the intersection of misinformation, as a growing threat to democracy, and media research practices aimed at understanding information dissemination. As media research approaches are a key way to understand and potentially address misinformation, it is vital that media scholarship better account for gaps in practice—for example, around under-researched contexts such as rurality and radio. Another prevalent but understudied gap is how qualitative inquiry can be used to in conjunction with common practices in ‘counting or categorizing’ instances of misinformation online; such approaches better consider the manifold ways societies navigate between facts and fabrications—what sociotechnical systems and contexts might allow misinformation to thrive or be combatted. The MAP-MISINFO project will work towards filling both types of gaps through a two-pronged, interrelated research design. First, the project will engage in an empirical case study, mapping a misinformation-related topic as it moves through the open web and region-specific media ecosystems. The region of focus will be the rural, conservative, relatively homogeneous US state of Utah. This case study will serve to inform (and be informed by) the other prong of MAP-MISINFO: a mapping and analysis of common media research tools used in examining misinformation. This second objective of the project entails carefully curated workshops of media scholars and publication overviews. The project will generate a public-facing website, media appearances, peer-reviewed publications, a report for general distribution, and a special issue of a top Communications journal. The host institution, UCPH, is uniquely positioned to provide methodological and theoretical guidance. MAP-MISINFO will also contribute to establishing my international academic career.

The Powder2Power project aims to demonstrate at the MW-scale (TRL7) the operation of an innovative, cost effective and more reliable complete fluidized particle-driven Concentrated Solar Technology that can be applied for both power and industrial heat production. The prototype to be developed and tested is based on the modification and the improvement of an experimental loop built in the framework of the previous H2020 project Next-CSP. It will include all the components of a commercial plant, a multi-tube fluidized bed solar receiver (2 MWth), an electricity-driven particle superheater (300 kW), a hot store, a particle-to-working fluid cross-flow fluidized bed heat exchanger (2 MWth), a turbine (hybrid Brayton cycle gas turbine, 1.2 MWe), a cold store and a vertical particle transport system (~100 m). It is planned to organize the experimental campaign at the Themis tower (France) during one year. Adding an electricity-driven particle superheater will enable to validate a PV-CSP concept working at 750°C that is expected to result in electricity cost reduction with respect to the state-of-the-art. At utility-scale, this temperature allows to adopt high efficiency conversion cycles, typically 750°C for supercritical CO2 (sCO2) cycles. The expected increase in conversion efficiency (sun to power) of the P2P solution with respect to molten salt technology is in the range 5 to 9% and the cost reduction is 5.4%. (LCOE). The hybrid CSP-PV concept enables to reach 9% in efficiency increase and the CSP-only concept 5%. The proposed approach includes the sustainability assessment in environmental and socio-economic terms. A special attention will be brought to elaborate in a transparent way all documents necessary to ensure replicability, up-scaling and to assist future planning decisions. Ten participants from 6 EU countries constitute the P2P consortium. Six participants are industrial and service companies, and four are public research institutions and universities.

To consider a text or author canonical is to invest it with prestige, authority or even timeless value. Canons set standards and define what is deemed worthy of transmission, but at the same time they are constantly undergoing change. The distinction between those who belong to the canon and those who do not inevitably operates a dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. It is not clear, however, who if anyone is the agent of such operations and what influences the way canons are shaped. MECANO (The Mechanics of Canon Formation and the Transmission of Knowledge from Greco-Roman Antiquity) aims to advance our understanding of the mechanics of canon formation and knowledge transmission of ancient Greek and Latin texts. It will look at a) how texts, ideas or authors become canonical by being cited, translated, studied, imitated, excerpted, or compiled by later authors, and b) how such implicit canons have changed across time and space by being received in different cultural, intellectual and linguistic environments. To study the dynamics of canonicity from a longitudinal perspective, MECANO will combine qualitative approaches to intellectual history and reception studies with applications of digital and computational methods on extensive text corpora. Bringing together six universities and an array of academic and non-academic institutions interested in the topic of canonicity (publishers, museums, academies of sciences, national libraries, arts companies), as well as a centre for entrepreneurship and an ICT company, MECANO created a training programme that responds to the need for historically conscious and digitally skilled Humanities PhDs. MECANO's twofold goal is to develop a new model for the study of canonicity and to train the PhD researchers to become versatile intellectuals ready to tackle the challenges of modern engagement with the topics of canonicity, diversity, and cultural heritage.

This project develops a new theoretical framework and causal mechanism to explain how corporate tax avoidance fuels the wealth inequalities that undermine democracy. It implements new methodological innovations that explain how global capital evades the fiscal constraints of democracy, using a combination of forensic accounting, in-person interviews, computational text analysis and original survey experiments. The objectives of the project are guided by two overarching research questions: Why is concentrated capital and wealth inequality a problem for democracy? What is the role of corporate tax avoidance and law in enabling this process? The empirical and comparative case study analysis are designed to answer these questions. First, we explain the global wealth chains and tax avoidance structures of big tech and big pharma multinational groups. Second, we explain how legal-technical actors create these structures and strategies. Third, we explain how their wealth protection strategies destabilise the functioning of democracy. Fourth, we explain the role of the media in politicising corporate tax avoidance as a problem for democracy. The project has four work packages. First, we construct a new theoretical framework, typology and causal mechanism to explain how corporate tax avoidance leads to the wealth inequalities that undermines democracy. Second, we explain the tax avoiding wealth chains of big tech and big pharma using a combination of forensic accounting and statistical mapping techniques. Third, we explain how legal-technical actors create these structures using a combination of in-person interviews, list survey experiments and computational text analysis. Fourth, we implement a cross-national survey experiment to explain the role of the media in disrupting the political consensus of legal-technical experts. Finally, we develop a set of new normative principles to guide how governments can respond in a democracy-enhancing way.

Additive Manufacturing is one of the most promising technologies under the umbrella of Advanced Manufacturing identified by the European Commission as one of the Key Enabling Technology (KET), which can help achieve EU’s Twin Transition towards a Green and Digital Economy. The global market for additive manufacturing is expected to reach $40.2 billion by 2027, and the market for fatigue-resistant additive manufacturing parts is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4% from 2022 to 2027. The fatigue life of AM parts presents non-negligible discreteness, challenging the fatigue performance evaluation. TUBITAK has advanced infrastructure with significant amount of experience in fatigue tests on different grades of super alloys, particularly Ni based super alloys, but has several weaknesses in the areas addressed in the FatSAM project, mainly lack of simulations expertise both in the simulation of the AM process and in the posterior simulation of the fatigue behaviour of these parts. Leading scientific institutions, CIMNE-CERCA (Spain) and LTU (Sweden) have joined forces to bring expertise in these simulation fields and enhance the research management of TUBITAK by means of a diverse range of initiatives. The partnership encompasses skills acquisition and networking through short-term stays of TUBITAK senior researchers at CIMNE-CERCA and LTU, externships of young researchers at CIMNE-CERCA and LTU, the organization of workshops, short courses, joint participation in conferences and in scientific publications and training on project management and administration for both researchers and supporting staff.

All over the globe, women in the work world receive, on average, 20% less than their male counterparts (United Nations, 2022). In countries explicitly committed to eliminating the gender pay gap (GPG), such as those in Europe, women still earn, on average, 13% less than men do (Eurostat, 2022). This is regardless of the fact that countries with persistent GPGs have deployed a strategic institutional measure to raise the wage floor of feminised work sectors and reduce the GPG – namely, collective bargaining. The overall aim of WAGE is to theorise the gendered nature of collective bargaining by investigating the past, the unruly present and the possible future of regulated collective bargaining processes in three key countries: Germany, Norway and Sweden. Moreover, the project’s research design will involve gathering data at the sectoral level of the metal sector and nursing and will use ethnographic research methods. To realise its overall aim, WAGE will accomplish the following three research objectives: 1. Compare and synthesise existing histories of collective bargaining and the GPG in the three selected countries. 2. Uncover and analyse daily practices in collective bargaining rounds that result in wage increases in the male dominated metal sector and the female dominated nursing sector. 3. Document and explain how actors embedded in the male dominated metal and the female dominated nursing sector relate to the wage norm and sectoral gendered wage differentials. Given the dearth of scholarship on the relationship between gendered wage differentials and collective bargaining processes from an inter-sectoral angle, this study will be the first to systematically use qualitative methods to explore the economic frontier between sectoral gendered wage differentials and collective wage formation, thereby contributing to the effort to achieve gender equity in practice.

SYMSITES?s main objective is to implement regional industrial urban symbiosis in four European regions different in social economic, and environment aspects, from the north Denmark, through the mid Austria to the south Spain and Greece. The four EcoSites will use the same technologies for wastewater and waste treatment and energy production and cycling, enabling a clean comparison of the EcoSite impacts. The four EcoSites will generate virtuous circles of energy, treated waste and wastewater streams between urban and industrial entities. The enabling technologies to be developed for waste and wastewater (WW) co-treatment, are: a newly developed IT Regional Management platform (ITRMP) including novel IIoTs and Social Decision support System (SDSS) to manage efficiently the I-U symbiosis; an anaerobic bioreactor(AnMBR) with advanced membrane coupled with a tertiary treatment, to be installed at the four EcoSites for a clean comparison of all impacts not directly influenced by different technologies. The aim is A) to achieve near-zero GHG emissions or CO2 negative footprint; B) use of bio-waste and non-recyclable wastes (NRW) to produce energy and reusable water as well as high-value new resources (HVNR), thus reducing the waste generation by ~50%; LCA and LCC studies and the quantity prevented from transportation (Ton-Kilometer units) and from landfilling (Ton/m3 units) will evaluate the costs and environmental impact. Dedicated tools will be developed to spread he I-US concept within Europe. These include: virtual demonstration of replication potential in other regions by setting up a network amongst waste associations ' facilitation services for implementing symbiotic processes; actions to facilitate relations and to involve the local community actors and establishment of a social innovation non profit spin-off involving tools and business models for streams exchange in a dynamic production.

The New Delivery Model established in Regulation EU 2115/2021 entails significant changes to Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) governance with the introduction of Strategic Plans and new monitoring, review and evaluation requirements. The CAP is expected to contribute significantly to the Green Deal’s ambitions, securing the achievement of sustainability and resilience goals for the EU’s Agri-food systems. Innovative governance models are essential to enable result-based policymaking to deliver the best policy pathways to facilitate the green transition. Tools4CAP will (1) support the implementation of National Strategic Plans 2023-2027, and (2) lay the foundations for sound preparation of Post-2027 Strategic Plans. Accordingly, Tools4CAP establishes a flexible and participatory Coordination & Support Action designed to boost learning, exchange processes, and adoption of innovative solutions and good practices for the design, monitoring and evaluation of CAP Strategic Plans. Tools4CAP’s methods and tools will cover three key areas: (1) quantitative modelling tools for ex-ante and ex-post evaluations, (2) participatory and multi-governance decision tools, and (3) novel data and monitoring solutions. The project will deliver a comprehensive inventory of methods and tools used in the 27 Member States, methodological guidelines on innovative solutions and a Handbook of good practices. Results will be integrated in a Capacity Building Toolkit, designed to enhance science-policy interfaces. Tools4CAP utilises a Stakeholder Engagement Platform to boost bottom-up adaptation of innovative methods and tools. It will establish a Replication Lab to demonstrate their use in 10 Member States and to promote their uptake across the EU-27. The project will also set up a Capacity Building Hub to help end-users (ministries, management authorities, paying agencies, other stakeholders) reinforce their capacity to use innovative tools, including models used by the European Commission.
