supporting natures contributions to people and social equity in the face of climate change

increasing pressures on land resources necessitate landscape management solutions that simultaneously deliver multiple benefits to diverse stakeholder groups with competing interests yet there are enduring inequities in the benefits derived from nature by social groups these inequities are expected to be amplified by climate change which typically affects vulnerable people the most however a quantification of the effects of climate change on the overall contribution of nature to peoples quality of life referred to as multifunctionality defined here as overall supply of natures contributions to people ncp weighted by their relative prioritisation by people and its distribution across social groups is missing this project aims to fill these gaps by 1 identifying the main sociodemographic factors underlying disparities in supply demand and access to ncp and their impacts on quality of life 2 quantifying the impact of climate change on the distribution of multifunctionality across social groups and 3 identifying land management solutions to increase multifunctionality for most groups and minimise inequities under future climate change this project will thus provide new insights into factors driving peoples benefits from nature and provide a synthetic assessment of climate change impacts on social inequities via their effects on nature and ncp as fighting inequities and environmental change become increasingly pressing and intertwined issues in policy this research will provide land managers and policy makers with a basis for informed decisionmaking for guiding equitable and sustainable development the project will additionally provide me with a unique opportunity to expand my collaboration network as well as my conceptual technical and project management skills paving the way towards my professional independence and leadership in the field of socialecology
biodiversity digital twin for advanced modelling simulation and prediction capabilities

with our planet facing an increasing reduction in biodiversity it is of the utmost importance to understand the way climate humans pollution and other factors affect biodiversity this need is urgent since biodiversity loss directly impacts our ability as humans to live for example this loss reduces the efficiency with which ecological communities capture essential resources produce biomass decompose organic matter and recycle nutrients furthermore there is increasing evidence that a lack of contact with natural biodiversity impacts human health through negative effects in the microbiome and immune system microbiome and immune system understanding the forces shaping biodiversity is the basis for any rational management of natural resources and will be a key enabler of the eu biodiversity strategy 2030 which aims to put biodiversity in europe on the path to recovery by 2030 for the benefit of people climate and the planet in particular we need to be able to better predict global biodiversity dynamics how species interact with their environment and with each other our goal is to push the current boundaries of predictive understanding of biodiversity dynamics by developing a digital twin providing advanced modelling simulation and prediction capabilities by exploiting in new ways existing technologies and data available across relevant research infrastructures the biodt project will be able to more accurately model interaction between species and their environment scientists at research infrastructures will be able to use the biodt to 1 better observe changes in biodiversity 2 relate these changes to possible causes and 3 better predict effects of changes based on influences on these causes by either climate or human intervention our consortium brings together a dynamic team of experts in biodiversity high performance computing artificial intelligence and fair data to realise the first biodiversity digital twin prototype

the european data union european security integration through database interoperability

eu policymakers are constructing a european data union its ambition is database interoperability with information stored in autonomous databases becoming interconnected and available to authorities across europe however database interoperability is not a mere technical fix but an inherently political process in the design of existing and future databases lays the foundations of future european security integration and the redefinition of some of its core dimensions security practices institutional governance and relation to fundamental rights despite its political importance little is known about how database interoperability actually structures and rearranges modern power relations the construction of the european data union as one of the largest reallife experiments of database interoperability represents a fascinating opportunity to unpack this issue hence the dataunion project will pursue four objectives 1 theorizing the sociomaterial practices that underpin database interoperability through the innovative notion of security tinkering defined as the processes through which conflicts and solutions related to database interoperability are addressed dodged or solved 2 developing a groundbreaking multimodal approach bringing critical making practices to the study of security practices in order to retrace how database interoperability is implemented on the ground 3 delivering new empirical knowledge on the processes and challenges of all three main european interoperability initiatives and how they shape the future of european security integration and 4 evaluating the ethicopolitical implications of the construction of the european data union overall the dataunion project will transform critical security studies conceptual and methodological repertoire and will have a major impact on international relations and eu studies understanding of the role of digital technologies in european security integration
philosophy as translation toward a translational education

the conviction at the heart of this project is that philosophy can no longer postpone systematic reflection on translation this is not only due to a widespread translational turn in the humanities but because translation is at the core of europe and of philosophy itself in the european multilingual context translation represents one of the centripetal forces of european identity and communitybuilding at the same time translation offers both a praxis and a conceptual tool for orienting eu responses to migratory pressures in order to fill the gap in the literature on translation in both the continental and the analytic tradition i will continue an endeavour i have been pursuing for the past decade putting translation at the centre of philosophical inquiry this philosophy of translation must overcome the fracture between the two philosophical traditions opening a new inquiry field beyond their unilateral approachesthroughout the history of thought the reciprocal relation between translation and philosophy appears in two guises on the one hand as the translation of philosophy
