Culture is central to nation building, but clothing, fashion and aesthetic perceptions are often overlooked in this context. Taking "Eretz Israel" (the "Land of Israel") as a case study, this project argues that investigating these cultural practices brings to the fore the agency of migrant groups and adds a personal dimension to the history of nation building. Focusing on the period from the 1880s when large-scale migration began, until the foundation of the Israeli state in 1948, it investigates how Eastern European and German Jewish immigrants expressed social, cultural and political belonging through clothing and to what extent they were able to enforce their ideologies in the course of nation building. It asks to what extent the immigrants influenced each other in developing a specific mode of dress, and how they referenced the socio-cultural and political practices of countries of origin, as well as the clothing of Arab people and the Ottoman and British occupying authorities. With an unprecedented focus on gender and visual materials, the project examines how clothing became fashion and to what extent a consensual mode of dress emerged within a heterogeneous migrant society. Drawing from archival collections of 15 archives in Israel, Poland and England, and 6 Israeli, German, American and Russian databases, the project analyses private and public photographs and posters, and contextualises them against an assessment of written material and oral history interviews. Through highly interdisciplinary training, the project develops a new methodology that integrates approaches from fashion history and visual culture into the history of nation building to shed light on the processes of negotiation and power struggles on the micro level of a community. In times of mass migration, economic exploitation and global mobility the project contributes to an understanding of aesthetic perceptions, dress and beauty ideals as an expression of power, integration and exclusion.

DisTerrMem is an integrated programme of training and mobility opportunities for researchers and non-academic partners, who will co-create an innovative transnational, interdisciplinary and multi-level approach to the pressing problem of managing competing memories of disputed territories across borders. Taking an interdisciplinary collaborative approach, the planned secondments and training will share and extend interdisciplinary knowledge. Methods to share knowledge will include cross-disciplinary seminar series, the co-production of literature reviews and a shared methodological and theoretical framework, the organisation of internal conferences and summer schools, the production of jointly-authored academic publications, as well as an international conference. These activities will facilitate the co-creation of a new theoretical and methodological approach to a significant problem. Dealing with competing and often antagonistic memories of disputed territory remains a pressing challenge not just within the EU, but globally. However, the solution to such tensions is not necessarily the formulation of a ‘shared’ memory of such territories, which in any case may prove difficult to achieve. As a recent report of the European Parliament (2013: 5-6) notes, while historical memory is already disputed at the national level, beyond the national frame ‘the perception of the past proves all the more heterogeneous and problems for having a collective memory or even defining common historical landmarks are multiplied.’ Researchers on this project will receive the training necessary for them to address the challenge of managing competing memories of disputed territories in three key regions (Europe, South Asia and the South Caucasus), producing insights into best practice that will be useful to policymakers at the national and supranational level, to civil society groups and to cultural practitioners.

Despite rising institutional concern for the gender gap in the European job market in general (EU Gender Action Plan 2016-2020) and the film industry in particular, the Italian market share of films directed by women in the period 2006-2013 was 2.7%, while that by male directors was 97.3%. The Italian film industry is sealed shut even tighter for creators whose identities intersect womanhood with a non-white or migrant background. This action redresses the persistence of this staggering imbalance by addressing the near-absenting of women’s and accented voices, both in the discourse around and practice of Italian filmmaking. The aim is to provide a critical record of the contribution of women, and especially women of colour, in the period 1965-2015, as a tool for launching the rebirth of Italian cinema. Research by the European Women’s Audiovisual network has found access to funding to be the most problematic aspect hindering gender equality in the Italian cinema sector. This 50-year period is marked by two crucial moments in the regulation of funding for audiovisual production in Italy (the 1965 “Legge Corona” and the most recent reform, voted into parliament in 2016). The project will accomplish two objectives at once: the obviation of encrusted film historiography canons, and the creation of an alternative archive of cinematic creativity with the capacity to reinvent the category of Italian cinema. Through the creation of an open-access collaborative online database, CineAF will provide a set of tools to create visibility and awareness of the gender inequality in the film industry; a change of script for the way we narrate Italian cinema to ourselves and to the world; and a roadmap for the innovation of the sector. CineAF will showcase the persistence of women's creativity despite the deficits and biases of the industry, and therefore shift the onus onto industry actors to explain why they have left such a vast fount of material on the margins.

To meet Flightpath 2050 environmental targets, the nearer term aviation technologies being targeted by CS2 aim at improving the overall efficiency of future aircraft and reducing emissions, consequently reducing the impact of civil aviation on the environment. With technology limits being reached in conventional engine designs, the industry is actively pursuing higher overall aero-engine efficiency through the introduction of ultra-high bypass ratios, higher core temperatures through utilisation of advanced CMC materials for the hot section and the utilisation of alternative fuels to reduce emissions. These technologies, while promising exceptional benefits, will be a transition from traditional propulsion system design, engineering and asset utilisation, and will need to be better understood in the context of possible design limitations, operational feasibility and economic viability. Through numerical simulations, UTOPEA will investigate these aspects, with an aim to provide detailed assessments of the performance and emissions characteristics of the UHBR engine focussing on three specific Research Themes (RTs). RT1: Engine Impacts on Aircraft Operational Capabilities - Investigation of stability challenges encountered during low power manoeuvers RT2: Engine Impacts on Aircraft Use and Economic Competitiveness - Exploration of benefits of using CMC materials in the hot section in terms of performance, component life and cost RT3: Impact of Fuel Characteristics on Engine Design and Performance – Assessment of the potential reduction in emissions and necessary changes required for combustion and propulsion system design and performance for the introduction of non-drop-in fuels (longer-term) and dual-fuel (shorter-term) combustion systems. The key outcome of UTOPEA will be the integration and delivery of multi-fidelity tools/methods for the preliminary design of more efficient, economically competitive and lower emissions UHBR engines.

Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence hold a promise for the radical transformation of healthcare services. Besides, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that robots are crucial allies during pandemics. Yet, the adoption of these technologies is impeded by concerns related to cybersecurity issues. The rise of security incidents is a timely reminder that not only the volume of attacks is increasing but their diversity is also expanding, posing a significant threat towards disrupting clinical care delivery. Ongoing research focuses on the use of robotics operating in healthcare spaces (surgical, service, logistics), while security aspects are not well covered in the research community. RESPECT project objective is to create a sustainable European and inter-sectoral network of organisations working on a joint research programme aiming to design and develop concrete defense strategies to ensure secure, safe, resilient and privacy-preserving operation of indoor mobile robotics solutions for logistic applications in healthcare environments. Specifically the main research objectives of the project are: (i) Explore and identify system-specific cyber-physical weaknesses posing security, privacy, and safety threats, in autonomous mobile robots operating in a healthcare environment; (ii) Analyse surfaced vulnerability issues in conjunction with projected threats and propose defence measures and mitigation strategies towards safeguarding mobile robots operation. (iii) Define and standardize a minimal set of vulnerability testing procedures and guidelines leveraging and extending the Robot Vulnerability Scoring System for safe and autonomous robotic fleet management in a “safety-critical setting”. The project will be implemented through staff exchanges among different organizations with complementary expertise in cybersecurity, healthcare, cloud computing and robotics from 5 countries across EU promoting transfer of knowledge between industry and academia.

Accounting for vegetation structure – clumping of foliage into shoots or crowns – is the largest remaining challenge in modelling scattered and absorbed radiation in complex vegetation canopies such as forests. Clumping controls the radiation regime of forest canopies, yet it is poorly quantified. Currently, the communities working with vegetation structure and optical measurements do not have a common understanding of the concept. The FREEDLES project sets out to develop a universal method for quantifying clumping of foliage in forests based on detailed 3D structure and spectral reflectance data. Clumping will be linked to photon recollision probability, an exciting new development in the field of photon transport modelling. Photon recollision probability will, in turn, be used to develop a spectral scaling algorithm which will connect the spectra of vegetation at all hierarchical levels from needles and leaves to crowns, stands and landscapes. The spectral scaling algorithm will be validated with detailed reference measurements in both laboratory and natural conditions, and applied to interpret forest variables from satellite images at different spatial resolutions. The proposed approach is contrary to many other lines of current development where more complexity is favoured in canopy radiation models. If successful, the approach will significantly improve estimates of absorbed and scattered radiation fields in forests and retrieval results of forest biophysical variables from satellite data. Future applications can also be expected in global radiation and carbon balance estimation and in chlorophyll fluorescence models for forests. Most importantly, the spectral scaling model will open new horizons for our scientific understanding of photon-vegetation interactions.

The MegaRoller project will develop and demonstrate a Power Take-Off (PTO) for wave energy converters. The PTO is developed in conjunction with oscillating wave surge converters (OWSCs), a class of wave power technology that uses bottom-hinged plates oscillating in pitch following the surge movement of the water particles in the nearshore zone (10m-25m water depth). The development and demonstration of the PTO for a 1MW OWSC device is based on multiple hardware innovations (modular design, twin drive trains, intelligent cylinders, standardized central power unit and novel accumulator arrangement) and software innovations (wave-by-wave damping control, advanced efficiency control, energy storage control, power smoothing and prediction). The project will therefore generate extensive know-how in the area of PTO design and PTO control systems, with the aim to decrease the LCOE of next generation OWSC devices below €150/MWh. The methodologies used in the project (such as wave-by-wave damping control and prediction, standardized power units) will be applicable to many other Wave Energy Converter types and generate new standards (algorithms) for PTO control, thus benefiting the broader ocean energy community. The full-scale PTO will be validated in a PTO test rig available at AW-Energy in Finland, a facility allowing the consortium to create power matrices for the wave conditions of different sites, fine-tune the PTO control algorithms, certify the operation of the PTO and ensure that the produced electricity conforms to the various grid codes of different market areas. In the short term, the developments will increase performance (power conversion from 70 to 88%), increase reliability (lifetime x2, service intervals x2, O&M costs -75%), decrease costs (power density x2.8) and improve power quality. In the long term, a 40,000 MW roll-out of MegaRoller power plants can generate 400,000 jobs by 2050 and 110M tons / year CO2 savings in Europe only.

The POLITICO PhD programme will build on the success of the interdisciplinary training provided by the University of Aberdeen’s Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and the Rule of Law (CISRUL), which specializes in the global application of political ideas. 2 cohorts of 6 high-quality international ESRs will propose and develop their own research projects around the theme of how political concepts are deployed in the world. POLITICO ESRs will ask how, and with what consequences, policy institutes, social movements and media commentators invoke such ideas such as ‘nation’, ‘democracy’ and ‘civil society’. POLITICO will reach beyond the West to locate political ideas in South, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. Selection will be via an open, transparent, merit-based, impartial, equitable and internationally advertised process, which will take special care to allow free choice of research projects. With POLITICO’s inter-disciplinary supervision and inter-sectoral training, the ESRs will build careers not only in state-of-the-art research, but also in incisive policy design, social movement leadership, and influential media commentary. In these careers, the researchers will apply their acute awareness of how political concepts vary across contexts and are invoked in political action. To further develop the ESRs’ inter-disciplinary expertise, and to provide opportunities to present research and engage in debate, CISRUL will host a full series of seminars, workshops and conferences, all co-designed with ESRs and on topics that cross-cut POLITICO themes. POLITICO ESRs will be supported by 23 internationally-recognised partner organisations, committed to providing specific training to researchers across the POLITICO project themes. 6 of the partners are leading policy institutes that will provide inter-sectoral training to include the writing of policy briefs, expected of all ESRs.
