The project will examine representations of children and childhood in women’s fiction of the modernist period (c. 1890-1950). The concept of childhood became central to late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British culture, when the child-figure was used to explore important questions about identity and gender. Scientific investigations of children led to views of childhood as a developmental stage, the role of which was to prepare the child to become a rational and autonomous adult – characteristics associated with ideas of masculinity. The project explores how female fiction writers of the period reshaped and rejected male-centred scientific definitions of childhood in order to reimagine the child, making it a vehicle for feminist ideas and a propeller of new modes of representation. The project will pursue an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on expertise in literary studies, childhood studies, and feminist studies, acquired and consolidated through KU Leuven’s research centres: MDRN (focusing on modernist culture), and LCH2 (Leuven Centre for Health Humanities, with a special focus on representations of age). This expertise will primarily be developed by training-through-research under the supervision of Elke D’hoker, an expert on women’s fiction and modernist literature. The main deliverables will be two journal articles, a monograph proposal, and an edited collection, arising from an international symposium organised at KU Leuven. The research will also lead to the delivery of four conference papers, and communication to non-academic audiences through European Researchers’ Nights, a public lecture, a newspaper article, and a workshop for high school students.

The two Danish Presidency conferences aim to contribute to the development of the research, innovation policies and frameworks within healthcare systems and life science through quadro helix partnerships. In European and global healthcare, the greatest challenges are the double demographic changes, lack of skilled staff, and the rising economic costs of healthcare systems and services. It is this complex and challenging situation that we aim to address. Both the European structures of healthcare systems and the life science ecosystem are essential to both citizens' health and the economy. Innovative medicines, new methods, and solutions are critical for improving healthcare outcomes and resilient healthcare systems across Europe and to boost the economic growth and competitiveness within Europe. The conferences are planned in close collaboration to ensure alignment and synergies. The Conference on Sustainability in Health Care is a two-day conference with up to 450-500 participants and will include keynotes, workshops, presentations, panel debates and extensive opportunities for networking and collaboration within transformation and integration of the cross sectoral health care systems. The output of the conference will be a White Paper to share with the stakeholders. The Conference on Life Science is a one-day high level conference and is expected to gather up to 300 participants from across Europe. The conference combines plenary sessions, pitches, panel discussions, and roundtable breakout sessions discussing relevant themes in the upcoming EU Life Science strategy. The conference provides recommendations that will be summarised in a report and used for possible input to Council Conclusions and as a white paper for the Life Science ecosystem. The Conference on Sustainability in Health Care will take place in Aalborg, Region Nordjylland on September 17-18th, 2025, and the Conference on Life Science will be held in Copenhagen, Region Hovedstaden on October 8th 2025

Bacterial viruses called phages are highly diverse predators with multifaceted life cycles. Recent major breakthroughs in phage biology brought phages back into the spotlight, highlighting their tremendous potential in basic and applied research. For instance, bacterial immune systems were shown to be the origin of human innate immune systems and there was significant progress in developing phages into therapeutics to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, this recent renaissance of phage research neglected the study of phages with RNA genomes, which are a historically understudied group of phages with a fundamentally different biology from that of phages with DNA genomes. Consequently, the current developments in phage biology left the potential of RNA phages untapped. RNA phages rely on unique regulatory mechanisms during their replication cycles while requiring their hosts to employ specific immune systems to combat the infection. These unique phage and host mechanisms must be highly specific to guarantee efficient phage replication and avoid auto-immunity, respectively. I posit that understanding these processes is a prerequisite to utilize RNA phages as therapeutic agents and bears the potential to discover new biotechnological tools. In RIBO-PHAGE, I therefore aim to elucidate the unique lifestyle of RNA phages at the molecular level. Specifically, I will 1) Decipher how RNA phages regulate their replication for efficient propagation. 2) Elucidate the host factors RNA phages hijack during replication. 3) Determine how bacteria defend themselves against RNA phage infection. Building on my extensive background in RNA and phage biology, I will combine molecular biology and biochemistry methods with global high-throughput techniques using RNA phages of the Fiersviridae (e.g., MS2) and Cystoviridae (e.g., φ6) families as models. This project will provide a detailed picture of the molecular processes involved during RNA phage infection.

Existing literature on agricultural markets, telecoupling, and supply chain governance focuses on global value chains, largely overlooking domestic markets – though these are responsible for the majority of food (74-88%), agricultural land use (78%), deforestation (61-71%), and global land use emissions (73%). A key barrier to the study of domestic markets is the lack of data. While country-level data are commonly used to track international trade, the data necessary to map subnational trade flows within domestic markets are seldom collated. In the proposed project we will bridge this knowledge gap by integrating novel datasets sourced from citizen science, wholesale markets, freight platforms, and government procurement contracts. Our focus will be on mapping the flow of food products within Brazil – the world’s ninth largest economy, a rapidly urbanizing, emerging market with a booming agricultural sector and large domestic market. We will employ life cycle assessment methods to these food flow data to compute the land use, deforestation, and carbon footprints of millions of individual supply chains and products. This will provide an unprecedented analysis of how the environmental impact of consumption varies across different populations and cities and how it relates to urban context. A key advance on previous product footprints will be our combination of supply chain data alongside information on land tenure, agricultural suitability, commodity prices, and forest fires to differentiate how much deforestation is driven by agriculture, rather than other contributing factors. Finally, the project will analyse public policies affecting food production and consumption, including a large-scale assessment of the Brazilian school meal program (PNAE) to understand its nutritional and environmental impacts, and an examination of how agricultural subsidies can be redirected to foster a sustainability transformation within the Brazilian food system.

Relieving serious health-related suffering for patients in palliative and end-of-life care, be it physical, psychological, social, or spiritual, is a global ethical responsibility. However, the profound psycho-emotional and existential distress entailed by such suffering, despite often being an enormous burden for both patients and their loved ones, remains a field largely overlooked by health care providers and the scientific community. Those people may develop mood or anxiety disorder for which neither non-pharmacological nor pharmacological interventions exist. In this context, we believe it is now time to target these unmet needs in the palliative care population. We want to initiate a paradigm shift at the boundaries between palliative care, psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual care. Our starting point is the preliminary results being reported for administration of psilocybin, the main psychoactive compound of so-called ‘psychedelic mushrooms’, in patients with depression. The objective of our project is thus to examine the clinical effect of a cutting-edge, individualised and patient-centred, open and standardised Psilocybin Therapy, addressing these unmet needs of patients in palliative care. We will show high quality evidence via a multi-centre Randomised Clinical Trial of the value of our therapeutic model in patients (and for the following four conditions: COPD, Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders, ALS, and Multiple Sclerosis), their loved ones and care providers, in a diverse sample of the European population, in addition to better understand the mechanisms of therapeutic change of our model. Finally, our project will establish a sustainable, multi-disciplinary, ecosystem of key European stakeholders jointly contributing to the medical use of psychedelic research and innovation, paving the way towards an ethical and cost-effective deployment of such a new line of care for patients in European palliative care service providers.

EXA4MIND will build an Extreme Data platform that brings together large scale data storage systems and powerful computing infrastructures by implementing novel automated data management and effective data staging. This will enable integration with extreme data sources and support complex and advanced data analysis pipelines for knowledge extraction. Involving three large universities and a research centre, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the industrial sector, EXA4MIND uses interdisciplinary top-level expertise to create a modular Extreme Data Database (EDD) analytics environment. Driven by four representative Extreme Data Application Cases from the fields of molecular dynamics, autonomous driving, smart agri-/viticulture and health/social Big Data, EXA4MIND will support data ingestion and versatile preprocessing, develop an “Advanced Query and Indexing System” with convenient interfaces, and leverage high-performance storage and computing infrastructure. We will make Big Data from heterogeneous storage systems and database management systems available in a uniform way for processing on European pre-Exascale Supercomputers, cloud and AI-processing systems. Further to providing automatised staging, caching or direct access to these systems, the results and relevant data from our project will be made available to the European FAIR Data Ecosystem (including European Data Spaces, EUDAT, and the EOSC). Therefore, standardised modules and automated procedures will be implemented in our EDD. The project will constitute a leap forward towards common European Big and Extreme Data techniques in science, industry, and SMEs. Offering advanced data workflow orchestration, the EDD will be validated, proven, and sustained in collaboration with application partners, generating internationally recognised results. EXA4MIND will thus lay the technological foundations for future European data analytics and computation taking into account the whole Digital Continuum.

Coastal areas make up 4% of the world's land surface and protect the majority of the largest cities from severe storms, flooding, and sea level rise with ~40% of the global population living within 100 km of the coast. They also contribute to preserving biodiversity and can store more carbon per hectare than any terrestrial ecosystem. However, coastal wetlands are being lost at an unprecedented rate due to the overwhelming stress caused by human interference and climate change. The resilience of such ecosystems is strictly connected to their elevation with respect to mean sea level, which can be altered by shallow compaction, deep land subsidence, erosion, sedimentation decrease, and sea level rise. For this reason, the conservation of wetlands and related resources has become a major priority of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (2015). However, interactions between physical and biological/biogeochemical processes at the plant root level are still largely unknown. PRESERVE aims at providing a quantitative response to the long-term prediction of wetland resilience under climate changes, involving the coupled nature of surface/subsurface processes by investigating the role of vegetation and especially the mutual interactions between roots and soils. PRESERVE is a multi/interdisciplinary project that connects different areas of expertise (hydrodynamics, geomechanics, hydrogeology, wetland dynamics, and ecology) and develops innovative and specifically-designed laboratory and field experiments. The results are integrated within a novel modeling framework and the new knowledge generated in this project will be publicly available in a user-friendly application for end-users to cast nature-based solutions for low-lying coastal systems. PRESERVE is set to reach the goals of the European Green Deal by supporting the EU strategy to become a global leader in preserving and protecting biodiversity and to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
