The project ‘Climate smart, ecosystem-enhancing and knowledge-based rural expertise and training centres’ (RURALITIES) delivers an ecosystem-enhancing and climate action driven expertise and learning framework organised in hubs e.g., the ‘RURALITIES’, comprising a series of innovative methodologies with the learner at its core, supported by a comprehensive network of living labs, and a digital platform combining the Internet and wireless technologies, to assist engage, connect and empower actors. This is done via a multi-point approach e.g., multi-actors, multi-disciplines, multi-systems, multi-scale, multi-sectors, and multi-levels. RURALITIES is rooted in the recruitment, preparation, training and coaching of 1.000+ facilitators (KPI) distributed in all participating countries, for a variety of tasks (e.g., trainers, facilitators, role models, hub coordinators, etc.), and who play a significant role in creating the matrix and the platform upon which the learning framework is built, develops and evolves. RURALITIES proposes to ideate, implement, futureproof, validate and deliver the aforementioned expertise and learning centres via real-scale practicing in 6 simplified rural socio-ecological systems (SIMSES) e.g., demonstrators, 2 in Italy, 1 in the United- Kingdom (UK), 1 in Slovenia, 1 in Spain and 1 in Romania. RURALITIES coordinates identified actions of local, regional authorities in supports of rural innovation in regions and economic sectors where rural innovators are not yet engaged in a relevant network. RURALITIES coordinates identified SIMSES networks promoting rural innovation solutions whilst establishing innovative multipoints ‘RURALITIES Hubs’ of expertise and training on rural innovation. This is done via coordinating action for the managing authorities and regional bodies influencing regional and national policy instruments in Italy, the UK, Slovenia, Spain and in Romania.

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and renewable energy technologies may boost productivity growth over the coming years, but also cause a disruptive reallocation of economic activity among workers, firms, sectors and countries. How should monetary and fiscal policies be designed to ensure that these new technologies deliver productivity improvements and widespread welfare gains? In this proposal, I will address this fundamental question by developing a Keynesian growth framework – i.e. a unified theory of business cycles and growth – in which macroeconomic policies traditionally associated with aggregate demand management, such as monetary and cyclical fiscal policies, affect firms’ investment in new technologies and productivity. In part I, I will develop a novel Keynesian growth model with multiple alternative technologies (e.g. human labor vs. artificial intelligence, dirty vs. clean energy), and realistic heterogeneity among households, firms and sectors. The framework will shed light on the trade-offs faced by central banks during the energy transition, on the macroeconomic policies needed to prevent the spread of artificial intelligence from causing technological unemployment, and on the macroeconomic management of the sectoral reallocation process driven by accelerations in technological change. In part II, I will provide an open economy Keynesian growth model to study the interactions between capital flows, productivity growth and macroeconomic policies. I will use the framework to explain why the inception of the euro has fostered capital mobility, but not yet productivity convergence among member countries, to explore the impact of US monetary and fiscal policies on international value chains and global productivity, and to investigate the dual role played by the United States as center of the international monetary and technological systems.

The objective of the project »ERA conference« is to create a space for stakeholders to engage with the formation of the new, revitalised European Research Area (ERA) in order to pursue the European Commission's goals of co-designing, co-creating and co-developing ERA policies with all ERA actors. This delivers against the European Commission Communication from September 2020 on A new ERA for Research and Innovation and the Council Conclusions from December 2020 on the New European Research Area. The first day of the ERA conference focuses on the Commission’s proposal for a Council Recommendation on a Pact for Research and Innovation in Europe and the new ERA governance structure. The second day will focus on implementation challenges with stakeholders. The expected impacts of the ERA conference are: a) contributing to the Commission’s co-creation of ERA Actions (derived from the ERA policy agenda), ensuring they are designed appropriately; and b) engaging stakeholders, by giving them their own space to discuss the implementation of several actions. The overall rationale of the ERA conference is based on the high level discussion on the topic of the renewal of the ERA and strengthening relations between stakeholders and the Commission (through workshop activities on the second day of the conference). The ERA conference will also deliver promotional activities prior to the conference – with stakeholder engagement through video testimonials on the topic of the renewal of the ERA, which will be publicised alongside the conference. Additionally, after the conference, the publication of conference recommendations will contribute to the balanced development of the new ERA and could be used in further ministerial discussions on the renewal of ERA. In the time of proposal writing it is planned for the conference to be held live, however we also have a support plan in case we would have to switch to online event due to the pandemics.

Chemistry is far away from being a mature science: many desirable transformations are still out of scope. One important example is the selective (oxy)functionalisation of non-activated C-H bonds, which still represents a dream reaction of organic chemistry. This is because balancing high reactivity (needed for the activation of inert C-H bonds) with selectivity is difficult to achieve. Enzymes, specifically monooxygenases, are catalysts that principally solve this challenge. Monooxygenases, however, are not practical catalysts for organic chemistry. This is because they have evolved to enable the survival of their host organisms and not to suit the needs of organic chemists. In particular the complex molecular architecture of monooxygenases (necessitating O2, stoichiometric reductants and additional catalytic components) together with mechanistic challenges arising from their complex molecular architecture impede their chemistry-wide application. PeroxyZyme aims at solving these issues and establish evolved monooxygenases (peroxyzymes) as practical catalysts for organic chemistry. Peroxyzymes will be able to function with simple hydrogen peroxide rather than via the natural, albeit complex and vulnerable electron transport chains. This fundamental change in the monooxygenases’ catalytic mechanisms will be achieved by a mechanism-driven and experimentally validated semi-rational engineering approach. Evolved peroxyzymes will be characterised using up-to date (ultra)fast spectroscopy identifying catalytic bottlenecks and possible inactivation mechanisms. This molecular understanding will provide the basis for further improvement of first generation peroxyzymes. The practical usefulness of evolved peroxyzymes will be demonstrated on preparative-scale by using them in non-aqueous reaction media enabling high product concentrations and space-time yields.

The most sophisticated functions of proteins emerge at the level of their tertiary structure and involve large amplitude conformational changes. In contrast, the functions of synthetic molecules are currently limited by our inability to control their structure beyond the level of static secondary structures. ProteoKnot seeks to address this limitation by introducing entanglements as a tool to control tertiary folding while maintaining the flexibility required to allow them to change conformation. The first objective of this project is to establish design principles to guide the construction of entangled tertiary folds. These principles will be tested with the assembly of multiply-stranded helices (WP1), entangled macromolecules (WP2) and polymers (WP3). The second objective is to introduce photoswitchable handles in these structures to enable remote control over their conformational states (WP4). Operating the transition from the traditional design of static secondary folds to the design of dynamic tertiary folds will unlock the possibility to engineer increasingly complex macromolecules with protein-like functions. These exquisite architectures feature tandem helical motifs and cavities, providing an avenue toward highly elaborated receptors and catalysts. To illustrate the great potential of entangled tertiary folds for future applications, our third objective will be to develop their use as multi-responsive switchable catalysts (WP5).

A host of irregular migrants currently live in de facto “limbo” conditions in Europe, with significant economic and human costs. According to registrations, less than 20% of all non-European nationals receiving an order to leave, voluntarily return to a third country or are deported. Those not returning receive limited opportunities to regularize their stay, since states fear that regularization attracts irregular migration, and will not be supported by voters. FAiR promises to bolster EU return migration governance by addressing the legitimacy deficits that plague policies on return and alternatives to return. FAiR complements dominant rational choice perspectives by systematically assessing the importance of norms, frames and shared meanings for intergovernmental cooperation on return. Together with stakeholders in EU+ and non-EU+ countries, FAiR pushes quantitative and qualitative research boundaries in the field, focusing on 5 non-EU+ (Georgia, Iraq, Niger, Nigeria, Turkey) and 5 EU+ states (Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Switzerland). Specific contributions of FAiR include: econometric models to reduce measurement bias in Eurostat return data; better measurements of Europe’s return policies through a Migration Return Policy Index (MIREX); causal inference analysis for all EU+ countries on the effects of policy and non-policy drivers of enforced return; a large survey experiment in 10 EU+ countries on public support for alternatives to return policies; improved guidelines for the human rights monitoring of enforced return; and, a negotiation and implementation game that will help international actors to reach agreement on return and readmission. FAiR offers multidisciplinary expertise and comprises a mix of academic, policy research, governmental and irregular migrant advocacy organisations, spanning Europe, Africa and the Middle East. FAiR targets objectives 1, 17, 21 and 23 of the Global Migration Pact, and 10.7, 16.8, 17.9, 17.16, and 17.18 of the SDGs.

How does human work structure the economy and society? Temples in the Southern Levant during the Persian Empire (c. 539–331 BCE) provide a vital, underutilized historical vista for such questions. Persian involvement with labor taxation, forced labor, and temple institutions makes temples cynosures for key ancient economic, social, and cultural practices of work. Focusing on taxation and labor, WORK-IT drags analysis from formal to informal taxation (from official to social structures) and from slavery to forced labor (from definition to wider social phenomena), seeking deeper social interrelations for both economic topics. Both interventions furnish new fruitful perspectives on the dialectical interrelations between economy and society. Bourdieu's field theory brings powerful tools for wider socio-economic implications that integrates practices with perceptions. WORK-IT will harness eight types of evidence for temple institutions—building, gifts, taxes, tithes, produce, welfare, priesthoods, and dependents—using sources from the Southern Levant, the Persian imperial heartland, and the wider Ancient Near East. Each source will be analyzed via informal taxation, forced labor, and Bourdieusian field analysis to understand taxation, labor, and their interrelations within ancient weak states (pre-industrial, pre-nation-state polities). These analyses will highlight flaws in modern socio-economic assumptions that have hampered scholarly judgments of socio-economic relations in the Ancient Near East and thus in modern socio-economic narratives. WORK-IT will yield a more sophisticated understanding of the social impact of ancient temple institutions, the unintended consequences of local-imperial socio-economic interrelations, and a deeper historical perspective on pre-industrial societies. Ultimately, WORK-IT aims to re-integrate the Ancient Near East into socio-economic theory, forging a longer durée, pre-industrial perspective on society and economics.

International standards related to cryogenic hydrogen transferring technologies for mobile applications (filling of truck, ship, stationary tanks) are missing, and the experience is limited or non-existent. ELVHYS aims to provide indications on inherently safer and efficient cryogenic hydrogen technologies and protocols in mobile applications by proposing innovative safety strategies including selection of effective safety barriers and hazard zoning strategies, which are the results of a detailed risk analysis. This is carried out by applying an inter-disciplinary approach and conducting experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies both on the cryogenic hydrogen transferring procedures and on the phenomena that may arise from the loss of containment of a piece of equipment containing hydrogen. Unique investigations on (i) cryogenic hydrogen transferring operations for selected mobile applications, (ii) equipment and materials response to liquid hydrogen (LH2) transfer and incident roots, as well as (iii) releases, combustion and explosion phenomena will be pursued. For the first time, a study on the frequency of failure of LH2 transferring equipment will be carried out by exploiting the internal databases of some of the consortium partners which contain valuable information collected in the last decades. In addition, critical and exclusive data on innovative safety barriers (e.g. emergency release device) under development will be shared by Air Liquide partner, beyond knowledge on cryogenic hydrogen transfer gained in several years. In this fashion, critical inputs can be provided for the development of international standards by creating safe and optimised procedures and guidelines for cryogenic hydrogen transferring technologies. The results of ELVHYS will contribute to many objectives of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA such as increase the level of safety and support the development of regulations codes and standards for hydrogen technologies and applications.
