New applications in the industrial sectors of space, automotive, IoT, nuclear dismantling and civil applications, medical and accelerators among others require innovative radiation testing methodologies. As well, for coping with the industrial demand and market timelines, streamlined and coordinated testing becomes highly necessary. Although punctual exceptions exist, Europe does not count with a coordinated network of cost-effective testing facilities helping these purposes. Such a network could enormously help fast innovators such as SMEs who in many cases find difficult to access the required facilities and related test expertise. As well, it will offer a competitive advantage to large Corporations. Novel testing methodologies will also pave the way for generating new standards since the existing ones are mainly restricted to classical space applications and radiation-hardened components. Pan-European and National Research Infrastructures can play a key role for boosting European Industry by taking the first steps in the creation of a sustainable, coordinated and streamlined irradiation testing facilities network. It will also respond to the need of establishing a radiation hardness evaluation based on risk assessment and mitigation rather than on complete risk avoidance. This project aims at increasing and optimizing the access of system developers to irradiation facilities in which representative conditions of their final application are reproduced, and that can serve as a satisfactory validation for the end-users. Such optimization will be based on a network of irradiation facilities with a common entry-point, in which users can define, prepare, carry out and analyze their irradiation campaigns. A key point of such improvement would be that of advancing in the harmonization and standardization of the system level testing methodology, so not to multiply efforts around the same common objective.

FLEXCoop introduces an end-to-end Automated Demand Response Optimization Framework. It enables the realization of novel business models, allowing energy cooperatives to introduce themselves in energy markets under the role of an aggregator. It equips cooperatives with innovative and highly effective tools for the establishment of robust business practices to exploit their microgrids and dynamic VPPs as balancing and ancillary assets toward grid stability and alleviation of network constraints. Optimization in FLEXCoop applies to multiple levels. It spans local generation output, demand and storage flexibility, as well as the flexibility offered by EVs to facilitate maximum RES integration into the grid, avoidance of curtailment and satisfaction of balancing and ancillary grid needs. This is achieved via automated, human-centric demand response schemes with the participation of appropriately selected residential prosumers. To enhance prosumer acceptance, the FLEXCoop innovative services will feature non-intrusiveness, comfort and well-being preservation, non-violation of prosumer daily schedules as well as maximization of benefits through transparent and open participation in markets. It will also guarantee easy switching between DR service providers, vendor lock-in avoidance, customized DR service contracts and objective settlement and remuneration, thus establishing an energy democracy context and empowering prosumers to become active energy market players. FLEXCoop brings together a wide range of baseline technologies to build an open and interoperable DR optimization framework, including a fully-fledged tool suite for energy cooperatives (aggregators) and prosumers involved in the DR value chain, ensuring: (i) DR stakeholders empowerment and transformation into active market players, (ii) end-to-end interoperability between energy networks, energy management systems and devices and (iii) the realization of new business models for energy cooperatives.

The study of Galois representations of elliptic curves is at the heart of modern arithmetic geometry, and intimately related to modularity theorems and the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Galois representations of elliptic curves are classified by their images. Associated to a possible image is a modular curve which is a moduli space of elliptic curves with representation having that image. The study of rational and low degree points on modular curves underlies the celebrated theorems of Mazur, Kamienny, Merel, Bilu, Parent and Rebolledo. A common theme in all these works is the existence of a rank zero quotient of the modular Jacobian, and the validity of a formal immersion criterion. In this project, motivated by Serre's uniformity conjecture, we study rational and low degree points on interesting modular curves where these conditions fail, developing and extending powerful methods including an overdetermined version of Chabauty in the symmetric power setting, and quadratic Chabauty for the non-split Cartan modular curves.The University of Warwick has a strong and active number theory group, making it a natural host for the project. The Supervisor, Professor Siksek, is a leading expert on curves, Galois representations and modularity, with considerable experience in supervising research including 11 postdocs and 12 completed PhD students. The Researcher, Dr Le Fourn, did his PhD at Bordeaux (completed November 2015) with Professor Pierre Parent, including a 3 months internship at McGill with Professor Henri Darmon. Since September 2014 he has held the position of Agrégé préparateur at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. He has made excellent breakthroughs both in the theory of Q-curves, and in the arithmetic of Siegel modular varieties. The envisioned research will make the Researcher influential in modular curves and adjacent subjects, and allow him to realize his ambition of becoming an independent researcher at a leading European institution.

INFINITY will develop an inorganic alternative to a scarce and high cost material, indium tin oxide (ITO), currently used as a Transparent Conductive Coating (TCC) for display electrodes on glass and plastic substrates. The novel conductive materials to be developed in this project will be based on low cost sol-gel chemistry using more widely available metallic elements and will leverage recent advances in nanostructured coatings. Novel printing procedures will also be developed to enable direct writing of multi and patterned nano-layers, removing the waste associated with etch patterning.

The neuromorphic computing paradigm, inspired by the brain's non von-Neumman architecture, constitutes the most auspicious alternative for the More than Moore era. The electronic implementation of the neuron must reproduce the nonvolatile, multilevel, and scalable properties found in the human cortex. Memristors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are an ideal candidate to emulate the biological synapse. The investigation of the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties that lead to the memristive behaviour in 2D materials and, in particular, the rationalization of the underlying mechanisms causing the memristive effect, are subject of intense scientific debate. The gap between the experimental 2D memristors realizations and the theoretical understanding of their operating principles demand an hollistic modeling approach that is still lacking. In this project, we aim to develop a bottom-up modeling framework for studying memristive systems and its integration in neuromorphic computing networks. To this purpose, we will employ the multi-scale modeling approximation, a powerful and versatile simulation approach that has become an standard increasingly used in the physical and electronic communities and presents clear advantages regarding the level of accuracy and computational burden. The proposed model will be developed in three stages, 1) 2D Material - Ab initio level 2) Memristor - Device level and 3) Neuromorphic networks - Circuit level. The model will be validated using the experimental characterization data form the 2D memristor fabricated during the secondment phase. This project aims to implement a complete design chain able to boost the state-of-the-art technology. The relevance of this Project is based on the premise of developing a novel and disruptive technology with a great future projection, intending to explore the still insufficiently exploited and enormously promising More Than Moore type of solution.

Gender for Excellence in Research (GenderEX) is a three-year project designed to build networks, exchange knowledge and engage best practices to stimulate the integration of the Sex and Gender Dimension in Research Content (SGDRC) in the widening country of Turkey assisted by internationally-leading counterparts in Ireland, Italy, and Sweden. Gender dimension has all too often been overlooked in many scientific areas, sex/gender analysis is an indispensable means to innovate and drive excellence in research and tackle societal challenges. Research that ignores gender interactions is often incomplete and/or biased research, which leads to the formulation of inadequate policies, programs, theories, and outcomes. Gender studies, as a field, is not yet well established in Turkey and a sex and gender dimension is not often integrated into research content. As such for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) interested in gender studies and gender methodologies, there are few opportunities in Turkey to develop their research skills and capacity. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report (2018), Turkey ranks 130 out of 149 and is in urgent need of advancing gender equality. Researchers’ can play a vital role in identifying the structures and producing solutions that will enhance Turkey's advancement toward gender equality. The project seeks to build upon and further develop Kadir Has University (KHAS) with its Gender and Women’s Studies Research Center (GWSRC-KHAS) as a site of research excellence in the field of gender research. The overall aim of GenderEX is to further the adoption of SGDRC across multiple scientific disciplines in Turkey and beyond by enhancing the capacity of GWSRC-KHAS for training and engaging more researchers into this field.

AQUATIC investigates multi-stakeholder engagement, practices, and processes of social categorization in the context of environmental threats to marine ecosystems in the Baltic and the Mediterranean Seas. The action uses a theoretical framework that combines a focus on temporal narratives, a more-than-human approach, and intersectionality to understand the effect of social categorization on sociomaterial practices. This framework has been specifically developed based on preliminary policy analysis to meet the specificities of environmental threats to marine ecosystems. The project studies two cases in which a local ecosystem is threatened. Both cases offer opposed rationales in the formulation of the threat: eutrophication in the Baltic Sea as a case where life growth is described as harmful, and the threat posed to posidonia oceanica in the Mediterranean as a case where life needs protection. The methodological approach uses ethnography, documentary analysis, and participatory workshops to critically analyse the discourses and practices involved in tackling these two challenges. The action offers two contributions: 1) the consolidation of the concept of more-than-human intersectionality; 2) the development of more-than-human participatory methods. The project presents a strong combination of theoretical development and solid empirical work that matches the host’s experience working with topics of temporality, human-nonhuman relations, practices, and engagement. The proposed action supports the objectives of the MSCA through knowledge transfer between the applicant and the host institution that involves two-way collaboration, teaching and supervision; through international mobility and the building of interdisciplinary networks; through a carefully developed outreach plan with societal and policy impact that involves a variety of stakeholders; and through the centrality of interdisciplinarity and gender to the action’s development and implementation.

This study focuses on the work of women photographers who participated in resistance movements and whose images were made to expose and resist repressive regimes. Although the significance of these activist movements is widely recognised, the role of women photographers remains marginalised and under-researched. At the centre of this project is an exploration of the lives and work of the women who formed part of the Dutch resistance movement, De Ondergedoken Camera (The Underground Camera), and of the women who were members of the anti-apartheid photography collective, Afrapix. This research will deepen understandings of the role women have played in resistance activities in transnational perspective. This research will open academic and public discussions about women and resistance in transnational perspective, will deepen understandings of women’s experiences, and ultimately aims to address gender inequality, a cross-cutting objective of the Horizon 2020 programme. I will be hosted at the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD) in Amsterdam, where I will be supervised and mentored by Professor Ismee Tames. The research is premised on Responsible Research and Innovation and will result in a symposium on photography and resistance; a special issue of a journal on the theme of women and resistance; an exhibition of photographs at NIOD and related public discussions; three workshops for emerging researchers and young people; and the publication of four peer-reviewed articles. The overall aim of the project is to strengthen my research capacity and skills to assist in securing a leading research position that will enable me to contribute my knowledge and skills towards the goal of achieving more reflective, cohesive and equitable societies.

Azines are nitrogen-containing aromatic rings of utmost synthetic relevance in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials science. Although nucleophilic aromatic substitution techniques are routine, these methods require air-sensitive and highly reactive nucleophiles, in most instances organometallic reagents. In sharp contrast, electrophilic aromatic substitutions are particularly difficult to the electron-poor nature of the azines, inevitably requiring harsh reaction conditions. Taking into consideration the wider availability of electrophilic partners when compared to their corresponding nucleophilic congerener, the development of a catalytic technique aimed at providing a mild, chemoselective and site-selective electrophilic aromatic substitution of azines will have tremendous consequences for the praxis of heterocyclic chemistry, particularly in late-stage applications. Aimed at providing a solution to such goal, LEWIS-PYR will design a conceptually new platform to activate unbiased azines via electrophilic aromatic substitution by using frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) as a polarity inversion vehicles, allowing to substitute a series of a priori electron-poor nitrogen-containing electrocycles with a wide variety of different electrophilic partners.
