The seismic wavefield carries the imprint of material it crossed. We now understand that seismic wavefields alter the material when they pass through it and that these changes are measurable. This is important, because the dynamic response of Earth’s material directly affects our societies: geomaterial alterations are associated with many natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, earthquakes, and the structural health of civil structures such as bridges and buildings. Traditional seismic sensors - global and regional networks of seismometers - provide us with high temporal resolution, but sparse spatial resolution. Right now, new sensing technologies (fiber-optic cables (DAS), large-N arrays, rotation sensors) are emerging that can give us much more detailed spatial information about how the seismic wavefield behaves. This means that we can study changes in local material properties, and investigate complex behavior of materials as they deform under small strain. These sensing technologies are reaching a level of maturity where they can be incorporated into common seismological observation practice. For this new era of seismological instrumentation and observation fundamentally new skills need to be developed. In SPIN, we will train the next generation of scientists to develop novel views about the dynamic behaviour of Earth materials, and in particular how to observe them with the revolutionary new sensing systems at hand. It is currently enigmatic how to combine these sensor types to optimize resolution power. This research and training will impact the way we understand solid Earth processes, how we interrogate the Earth’s geomechanical behavior, and the way we forecast natural hazards.

The envisaged innovation idea of the H2O robotics is the full Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) system created by lightweight, low-cost acoustic devices that link underwater network with terrestrial networks. IoUT system would provide positioning of underwater agents (e.g. sensors, vehicles, divers) and simultaneous communication between users on land and the underwater agents/things. Turning this innovative idea into an innovation project we will gradually expand our product portfolio with a new product, IoUT product, as well as expand the application portfolio of our existing products. Development of advanced technologies represents only one segment in a puzzle of turning innovation idea into commercially successful product. Insufficient in-house capacities in innovation management and business development and lack of appropriate candidates with these skills on the national labour market represent the problem and the barrier that this project will help us to overcome. Integration of the Innovation Associate into this venture will reinforce capacity of the team, multiply effect of the effort and help releasing full societal and commercial potential of the innovation idea. This project will be beneficial for both, Innovation Associate and the company. A solid scientific PhD-level background of the Associate will be deepened in the field related to innovation, his/her business-related skills will be developed and strengthen and a significant level of independence in work will be established. As a result, career stage of the Associate will be elevated to R3. H2O robotics will get an opportunity to launch new innovative products and/or services that will distinguish the SME from the competitors on the global market and get an employee (Innovation Associate) with capacities difficult to find and attract on the national labour market.

The GREEN HYSLAND PROJECT adresses the requirements of the call FCH-03-2-2020: H2 Islands by deploying a fully-integrated and functioning H2 ecosystem in the island of Mallorca, Spain. The project brings together all core elements of the H2 value chain i.e. production, distribution infrastructure and end-use of green hydrogen across mobility, heat and power. The overall approach of GREEN HYSLAND is based on the integration of 6 deployment sites in the island of Mallorca, including 7.5MW of electrolysis capacity connected to local PV plants and 6 FCH end-user applications, namely buses and cars, 2 CHP applications at commercial buildings, electricity supply at the port and injection of H2 into the local gas grid. The intention is to facilitate full integration and operational interconnectivity of all these sites. The project will also deliver the deployment of infrastructure (i.e. dedicated H2 pipeline, distribution via road trailers and a HRS) for distributing H2 across the island and integrating green H2 supply with local end-users. The scalability and EU replicability of this integrated H2 ecosystem will be showcased via a long-term roadmap towards 2050, together with full replication studies. The intention is to expand the impact beyond the technology demonstrations delivered by the project, setting the basis for the first H2 hub at scale in Sothern Europe. This will provide Europe with a blueprint for decarbonization of island economies, and an operational example of the contribution of H2 towards the energy transition and the 2050 net zero targets The project has already been declared to be a Strategic Project by the Balearic Regional Government, and has support from the National Government through IDAE.

ENART is an integrated research and training programme for innovative knowledge transfer and career development. It will be implemented at the Department of Society and Global Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark (Beneficiary, host of the Incoming Phase), the Department of History of Art at the University of Michigan, USA (Partner Organisation hosting the Outgoing Phase), and SALT, research and exhibition centre in Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey (host of the intersectoral Secondment). The interdisciplinary constellation of these organisations and the supervision they provide complements the researcher’s own art-historical formation and endorses her research project in transregional Islamic Art History around which ENART’s comprehensive dissemination and public-engagement activities are built: The research project is entitled “Engagement Art: Regional Islamic and Global Pragmatist Aesthetics”. “Engagement art” is a new concept that this project introduces in order to define a hitherto overlooked approach to art. This approach conceives of art as a practice and medium which is continuous with everyday life. This project asks what ideas informed engagement art and what practical and historical circumstances interfered with its development and actual enactment. To answer these questions the project traces the development of engagement art from its conception in Istanbul in 1909 to its implementation at the Art-Craft Department in Ankara in 1932. Thereby the research centres on the modes of confluence of regional Islamic and global pragmatist aesthetics. Apart from introducing a new concept to Islamic Art History, the project seeks to develop a new method for the study of non-canonical art and strengthen ties between the history of art made in and outside of Europe, as well as between Art History and its subdiscipline Islamic Art History. The aim of the project is to contribute to the development of an art historiography worthy of a diverse and inclusive society.

The experimental realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in trapped alkali gases in 1995 triggered numerous mathematical investigations of the properties of dilute Bose gases. For the mathematical description of these experiments the Gross—Pitaevskii (GP) limit is relevant. In the past two decades there has been a substantial progress in the understanding of ground state properties of Bose gases in the GP limit, culminating in the recent rigorous justification of Bogoliubov’s theory for the ground state energy and for low lying excitations. Except for a recent contribution of me and my co-authors [1], the highly relevant GP limit at positive temperature has not been considered so far. The aim of the proposed project is to develop new mathematical tools to study dilute Bose gases at positive temperature. This will be done from two points of view: Thermodynamics and Dynamics. More precisely, in the first part of the project I plan to prove refined estimates (w.r.t. [1]) for the free energy in the GP limit which would yield a better understanding of how interactions affect the thermodynamic properties of such systems. In the second part I will investigate the dynamics of positive temperature states after the trapping potential will have been switched off and prove that a certain structure of the 1—pdm is stable under time evolution. Apart from asking two highly relevant questions in modern mathematical physics, the project is also interesting from a physics point of view since it would justify two frequently used approximations in the physics literature.

CaPer is an ambitious interdisciplinary project exploring how forms of play and recreation helped shape and sustain the Catholic minority in Protestant England. In faith-divided early modern Europe, the English state persecuted Catholics for their religious allegiance, excluding them from political life. How did the marginalized Catholic minority, navigating between opposition and loyalty to their Protestant monarchs, survive in such a hostile environment? Exploring issues of religious intolerance, inequality, and social exclusion, CaPer adresses one of the main challenges for the future of Europe. Studying the English Catholic community from an innovative perspective, it examines sources and practices which historians have hitherto rarely considered. It breaks new ground by comprehensively investigating how Catholics built communal bonds and negotiated their place in English society through theatre, dance, music, sports, and ceremonies throughout the period of the most vigorous religious persecution, from the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 to the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Tapping into underexplored archives in order to collect and analyse a vast quantity of neglected records of performance, and paying attention to both microcosms within provincial Britain and international networks of global Catholicism, CaPer will: a) produce a new cultural history of the English Catholic community, demonstrating how performance played a crucial role in education, sociability, missionary activity, private devotion, and in maintaining Catholic social standing; b) introduce to historiography previously neglected practices and actors, including women players, dancing masters, music teachers, and itinerant entertainers; c) expand our knowledge of practical religious coexistence in the early modern period, providing a blueprint for future studies of play and leisure among religious minorities, and inform contemporary European policies aimed at reducing social exclusion.

There is confusion surrounding how poverty eradication will contribute to climate change. This is due to knowledge gaps related to the material basis of poverty, and the relationship between energy and human development. Addressing this issue rigorously requires bridging gaps between global justice, economics, energy systems analysis, and industrial ecology, and applying this knowledge to projections of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. This project will develop a body of knowledge that quantifies the energy needs and related climate change impacts for providing decent living standards to all. The research will address three questions: which goods and services, and with what characteristics, constitute ‘decent living standards’? What energy resources are required to provide these goods and services in different countries, and what impact will this energy use have on climate change? How do the constituents of decent living and their energy needs evolve as countries develop? The first task will operationalize basic needs views of human development and advance their empirical validity by discerning characteristics of basic goods in household consumption patterns. The second will quantify the energy needs (and climate-related emissions) for decent living constituents and reveal their dependence on culture, climate, technology, and other contextual conditions in countries. This will be done using lifecycle analysis and input-output analysis, and mapping energy to climate change using state-of-the-art energy-economy integrated assessment modelling tools for 5 emerging economies that face the challenges of eradicating poverty and mitigating climate change. The third task will shed light on path dependencies and trends in the evolution of basic goods and their energy intensity using empirical analysis. This research will identify opportunities to shift developing societies towards low-carbon pathways, and help quantify burden-sharing arrangements for climate mitigation.

Recent studies have highlighted a pivotal role for long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in normal physiology and disease. As a key example, Xist lncRNA is crucial during the early development of female mammals and is involved in many diseases, e.g. progeria and cancers. To date, cellular and developmental studies have advanced our knowledge of the function of Xist, but a detailed understanding of molecular mechanism is lacking. Therefore, the overarching aim of my proposed research is to directly visualise Xist RNA/ ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) in cryo cells at sub-atomic resolution. To this end, I have formulated the following objectives: 1) preparing a cryo sample of mES cells expressing Xist RNA optimised for cryo electron tomography (ET); 2) visualising 3D-Xist RNPs in the mES cell; 3) generating homogenous pseudo-physiological Xist RNPs for single particle cryo-EM; 4) Solving the 3D sub-atomic resolution structure of Xist RNP; 5) Analysing a composite cryo-EM/-ET structure of the Xist RNPs in the mES cell. To achieve this aim, I will employ an interdisciplinary approach including cutting-edge cryo-structural techniques and elegant mES cell biology. My supervisor Prof Brockdorff is a leading scientist in Xist lncRNA research and the host has a state-of-the-art cryo EM facility. The University of Oxford is a world-class research centre, providing excellent transferrable skills trainings and a fantastic infrastructure for career development. The first high-resolution 3D structure of a lncRNA resulting from this innovative research will benefit not only the lncRNA research field, by providing novel molecular insight of the Xist lncRNA, but also the structural biology field, by expanding the 3D RNA structural potential. Dissemination and exploitation of this work, to be achieved by presenting in international conferences and publishing in high-impact open access journals, and communication, through public engagement, are an integral part of this proposed action.

More than 450.000 people are diagnosed with esophageal cancer (EC) each-year worldwide and approximately 400.000 die from the disease. Esophageal cancer is the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer, but it is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death, with incidence rates steeply rising. Risk factors, including gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus, may diagnostically implicate more than 300 million people worldwide. Nevertheless, the disease is detected late due to limitations in current diagnostic procedures leading to adverse prognosis and high treatment costs. ESOTRAC will change the landscape of esophageal diagnosis, over existing methods, based on cross-sectional optoacoustic and optical coherence endoscopy. The dual-modality system delivers a set of early-cancer imaging features necessary for improving early diagnosis, saving lives and leading to 3-5 Billion annual savings for the healthcare system. OCT provides micron scale subsurface morphological information based on photon scattering and optoacoustics provides deeper penetration and complementary pathophysiological features based on photon absorption. ESOTRAC develops novel photonic components (light sources, optical/optoacoustic scopes) and innovates novel medical system designs. Then, it performs pilot studies to investigate the functionality of the new endoscope and deliver a novel imaging-feature portfolio offering improved and earlier diagnosis. A central ESOTRAC ambition is that the new endoscope will become the new EC diagnostic standard by enabling quantitative and label-free three-dimensional endoscopy of early cancer with tremendous potential to impact esophageal care. ESOTRAC leverages European investment and know-how and strengthens the prospects of economic growth by leading the market position in endoscopic imaging.
