Geospatial data are nowadays collected with various sensors (hyperspectral cameras, LiDAR, etc.) and platforms (airplanes, drones, ground robots) and processed with advanced methods (e.g. photogrammetry, artificial intelligence - AI, etc.) in order to deliver analyses- and decision-ready thematic products. These products can be used, among others, for environmental monitoring, sustainable use of space, spatial analyses, simulation and predictions. The I-DEAL project aims to foster new skills and strengthen human resources performing a series of secondments to develop new, unconventional approaches for geospatial data acquisition, processing, verification and usage to support the European Green Deal actions. New methods based on AI, robotics, oblique aerial cameras, LiDAR and hyperspectral sensors, and combining ground, airborne and satellite data for the monitoring of various ecosystems (atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and built environment) will be investigated, tested and applied in various scenarios. Investigations will tackle different Green Deal ambitions, sharing and exchanging complementary expertise to boost geospatial technologies and improve Earth monitoring and climate change mitigation. Scientific events and transversal training activities will also be organized and offered to support career developments. The integration of I-DEAL intersectoral aspects will allow researchers to see, understand and exploit private company approaches or mapping agency methodologies; at the same time, non-academic people and service providers will exchange with and benefit from R&D activities and in-house products. The I-DEAL consortium consists of 14 partners from 11 countries, with practitioners and commercial representatives, as well as scientists with diverse educational backgrounds, such as technical, engineering, natural and socio-economic. The project will run for 48 months with a total number of 186 months of secondments.

Transmission spectroscopy (TS) is a technique, which measures the wavelength-dependent radius of a planet as it transits its star. From this, information about the chemical composition of a planet’s atmosphere can be obtained. The observed transmission spectrum is a combination of the planet and its host star. Inhomogeneities caused by spots and faculae present on stellar surfaces cause temporal changes in the observed transmission spectrum, mimicking a planet’s signal. It is crucial to understand the imprints of faculae and spots on TS to mitigate their signals. Modelling of stellar activity is challenging, and interpreting the stellar signal is full of degeneracies. The community is eager to overcome the stellar contamination conundrum, for which INCITE will propose solutions. INCITE’s objective is to build a methodology for stellar activity mitigation by physically modelling stellar activity in contemporaneous multiple-technique observations. As stellar activity models rely on the knowledge of the surface distribution of magnetic features and their respective brightness spectra, INCITE will combine recent efforts in these areas. The only star for which simultaneous observations of both the distribution of spots and faculae as well as multi-technique observations are available is the Sun. Therefore the first step within INCITE is to accurately model Sun-as-star observables. Another star presents itself as in ideal testbed. GJ 1214 is a cool , small, star, for which observations in multi-techniques, together with observations in TS by NASA’s JWST are available. Based on those two stars, stellar activity indicators that will allow for the most accurate mitigation of stellar activity in TS will be identified. Additionally, extensive studies will be conducted on how different configurations of magnetic fields will affect those activity indices and the mitigation in TS. This makes INCITE a proof-of concept study highly anticipated by the community.

The IBERIAN PATRONAGES project will be focused on the development of an in-depth study of the impact that the creation of the Sacred Congregation ‘De Propaganda Fide’ has had on the regime of the Iberian Patronages. Guided by this goal, this innovative research will decisively contribute to the strengthening of Europe in R&I delivering important contributions to the comprehension of four crucial issues that integrate the investigation: the intimate and structural relationship between religious dimension and the dynamics of domination, control and assimilation of local populations; the resistances and transformations imposed by these populations in response to the directions emitted from Europe; the jurisdictional nature of the policies formulated by the Iberian Monarchies to defend their royal patronages; and the key role played by religion in the configuration of colonial societies. The research will be anchored in the work developed in historical archives and libraries in Portugal, Spain and Italy, in a permanent exchange of ideas with the supervisor and the host institution (CHAM - Centre for the Humanities), and in an advanced training program designed to enable the researcher to expand her academic networking, provide her insertion in a highly qualified scientific circuit and promote the acquisition and improvement of core competencies and skills for a successful international career plan. A secondment in the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory will improve the scientific knowledge of this research plan. The strong commitment to the Open Science Practices associated with a scientific dissemination plan and plural communication activities were designed to ensure that the research will be able to reach different audiences: the scientific community, the undergraduate and graduate students, teachers and students of the basic education system and the general public.

Robots bear the potential to help solve the world’s pressing problems by enabling and scaling up operations beyond human capacities. To successfully manipulate objects and perform reliable locomotion, robots require adequate models and solvers. Traditionally, physics-based models and iterative solvers are used, and obtaining reliable solutions requires significant effort in model tuning and heuristics for good convergence. LiftMeUp’s objective is to combine data-driven modeling with globally optimal solvers in a unique way to create an easy-to-use framework for the life-long operation of robots in challenging tasks. The result is a transparent, sample-efficient alternative to the less interpretable and resource-hungry deep-learning solutions for robotics. Furthermore, LiftMeUp builds on providing certifiably optimal methods with important consequences for safety and efficiency, as opposed to deep learning and local solvers, where different initializations can lead to entirely different solutions. LiftMeUp is carried out at WILLOW, Inria Paris, known for cutting-edge control and locomotion research, and has three stages: first, combining concepts from Koopman theory, polynomial optimization, and kernel methods, lifting functions are inferred from data and integrated into globally optimal methods for state estimation and control. Second, different models are optimally combined, leading to a modular framework that can be incrementally updated online. Lastly, these novel algorithms are implemented on hardware to solve real-world locomotion and dexterous manipulation tasks. This framework will have an important scientific impact by creating novel connections between global optimization and machine learning, enabling the use of principled over heuristic solvers in a broad range of applications in robotics and beyond. It will entail energy and time savings for the economy and using sample-efficient and transparent models will democratize technology and build trust.

The development of sustainable energy production technologies, such as new types of solar cells, has traditionally taken decades. These research cycles need to be accelerated in order to respond to the urgent climate change crisis. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a recent technology that boast high electricity production efficiencies, however they suffer from insufficient lifetimes. Since there are thousands of material candidates even for a single layer of a PSC, it is challenging to search for stable materials and infer device degradation mechanisms. This project aims to implement machine learning (ML) as a part of the solution. I will create an accelerated, ML-assisted research cycle for improving the lifetime of PSCs: I will focusing on optimizing the composition of the light absorbing layer – perovskite – for stability. I will show the resulting stability improvements in full PSCs and develop faster inference of the remaining PSC degradation mechanisms. The acceleration in the cycle arises from i) using ML to save experimental bandwidth, ii) designing experiments that are directly compatible with ML (opposed to first collecting data and then figuring out how to use it with ML), and iii) maximizing effectiveness by teaching physics to the ML algorithm. For example, at the materials level, the algorithm needs to know that certain perovskite compositions do not exist as mixed materials according to density functional theory. The physics integration aligns ML algorithms with physical reality and alleviates data scarcity that has traditionally hindered the use of ML in experimental science. My highly collaborative and interdisciplinary project demonstrates the potential of integrated ML-assisted research cycles in accelerating stability research, and develops applied ML methods applicable to optimization in both research and industry. The project leads to more stable PSCs, thus taking us closer to sustainable energy production.

SLEEP-TI proposes a new approach to address widespread sleep disorders and enhance sleep quality through non-invasive neuromodulation. Leveraging the innovative Temporal Interference (TI) technology, SLEEP-TI aims to develop a portable, user-friendly device capable of modulating specific brain regions associated with sleep regulation and memory consolidation, without the need for invasive procedures or the limitations of traditional sleep therapy methods. Poor sleep quality and sleep disorders such as insomnia and parasomnias affect millions worldwide, significantly impacting mental health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Current treatments, ranging from pharmacological interventions to mechanical devices like CPAP machines, often fall short in terms of efficacy, user compliance, and convenience. SLEEP-TI introduces a novel solution by using TI to precisely target and modulate the neural circuits involved in sleep stages, particularly NREM sleep, which is crucial for physiological recovery of our brain and body. The project builds on preliminary data demonstrating the effectiveness of TI in inducing sleep-related neural patterns, initially in a cohort of epilepsy patients. By adjusting the frequency and location of TI stimulation, SLEEP-TI aims to replicate these beneficial effects in the broader population, offering a personalized sleep enhancement tool. This portable device will empower individuals to manage their sleep quality at home, potentially transforming the landscape of sleep therapy and cognitive health maintenance. SLEEP-TI's multidisciplinary team combines expertise in neuroengineering, sleep medicine, and commercial product development, ensuring the project's scientific rigor and its potential for commercialization. The project's outcomes will not only contribute to the scientific understanding of sleep modulation but also open opportunities for a new class of electroceuticals in sleep medicine.

EmpowerUs will enable coastal communities to act for change and transition towards sustainable, inclusive and resilient coastal developments. We assume that true empowerment implies R&I should catalyze, facilitate and support coastal communities in the acquisition of power through a variety of tools, methods and coproduction with the inclusion of all actors, at local, regional, national and European levels. EmpowerUs will develop an adaptive transformation mechanism via on a network of six Transition Coastal Labs (TCLs) across all EU coastal regions. Recognising that no one solution will address the myriad of challenges coastal communities face, the EmpowerUs transformation mechanism will be adaptive and based on a multi-actor transdisciplinary approach. The project will co-create, pilot and evaluate Tailored Empowerment Programmes that include a portfolio of social innovation and Nature-Based Solutions. By facilitating capacity building through improved understanding of challenges, barriers and enablers of change and increasing Ocean Literacy through nature connectedness and cultural heritage, EmpowerUs will support social innovation and self-sustaining communities. The EmpowerCoast digital twin/digital GIS platform will ensure the EmpowerUs mechanism is available to all coastal communities to uptake and use to support sustainable action. EmpowerUs consortium is balanced, complementary and transdisciplinary with key expertise in socio- economic technical, and ecological issues and the science-policy needed to achieve the project’s aims and objectives. EmpowerUs will provide innovative platforms to empower citizens to take transformative actions in line with EU policies to meet global challenges including biodiversity degradation and climate change at a local scale, supporting just, inclusive and sustainable coastal development.

The general objective of this research project is to recover and analyze, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the female contribution to the debates and transmission of republican and democratic principles, values, and projects between 1900 and 1914 through their journalistic activity, adopting a plurinational geographical approach that includes three Atlantic countries: Portugal, Mexico, and Spain. The adoption of this Atlantic approach not only allows for the appreciation of the possible circulation of ideas and the mobility of some of their spokespersons within these territories but also overcomes the limitations sometimes imposed by national frameworks and provides insight into how women participated in the broader debate on republicanism and democracy taking place at the time.

The photon, being chargeless and massless, is the ideal qubit material since it is the only elementary particle with no decoherence. Based on over 25 years of research at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N, CNRS and Univ. of Paris Saclay), we demonstrated the world's first efficient emission of single photons powered by our unique semiconductor-based technology (Nature Photonics, 2016). In just a few years, we completed the design and construction of PROMETHEUS which integrates all the necessary components to deterministically generate qubits based on single photons. PROMETHEUS is the main building block for MOSAIQ, our full-stack photonic quantum computing platform, integrating all the building blocks from PROMETHEUS, to the photonic chips, efficient detectors and all the software stack, including open-source PERCEVAL, to control and simulate hardware and algorithm layer. MOSAIQ is designed and built to be modular, reconfigurable, interconnected and therefore scalable.
