The RStone project investigates a pivotal period in human history: the Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3), spanning roughly 59,000 to 28,000 years ago. This period is critical for understanding the biocultural evolution of our species, Homo sapi…

Difficulties in learning maths usually begin at the start of education and are robust over time. The number of students not reaching basic levels of maths achievement remains a major societal challenge, at a time when societies are increasi…

The interface between physical and digital domains is rapidly fading, raising questions about the ramifications that technological innovations have for organisations. Despite offering plenty of opportunities, a more digitalised world of wor…

Languages encode knowledge, culture, and identity, yet more than half of the world’s languages are currently endangered, and many are represented only through short, fragmentary wordlists. These sparse records restrict our ability to unders…

Given the immature cognitive abilities of infants at birth, caregivers connect with them by producing stereotyped infant-directed (ID) forms of speech and songs in which the acoustic features are modified. Although ID vocalisations are fund…

A breakthrough in precision diagnostics and treatement for breast cancer Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment face persistent challenges, with current methods often lacking the precision and ease of use required for optimal patient care. E…

Additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, is transforming traditional manufacturing by enabling unprecedented design flexibility, rapid prototyping, and customization. However, significant challenges remain, such as con…

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to provide efficient and sustainable transportation. However, road safety of autonomous driving remains a critical challenge, the lack of which hinders their widespread adoption an…

Scientific progress is strongly linked to developments in methods of characterization - to control something, we need to understand it, and to understand something, we need to be able to probe it. For example, it would be hard to imagine mo…

NMR-IMPROV introduces an innovative approach to examining the properties of dairy products through advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation techniques, including Fast Field Cycling and Time-Domain NMR. This concept is based on t…

Towards the forthcoming transition to a fully connected world (e.g., Internet of Senses, digital twins), support of connected intelligence requires service advertisement, discovery, negotiation and management that goes beyond the complexity…

Catastrophic sediment release in fluvial systems is largely driven by landsliding, which occurs naturally during large earthquakes (e.g., November 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, New Zealand) or climatic events in mountain belts (e.g., Oct…

This project developed new tools to give European citizens greater transparency and control over their smartphones and other smart devices. European citizens rely on billions of smart electronic devices in their daily lives, from smartphone…

6thSense follows a holistic approach to address these challenges by: (WP1) Going beyond traditional sub-6GHz systems and enabling sensing in new B5G/6G communication bands, i.e., millimetre-wave and visible light; (WP2) Addressing distribut…

Last-mile delivery (LMD) is the final stage of the logistics process, where goods move from a hub or distribution center to the customer. It is widely recognized as the most expensive and operationally challenging segment of the logistics c…

Recent breakthroughs in the field of quantum technologies combining academic and R&D efforts have demonstrated the potential of quantum networks for major applications such as long-distance secure communication or quantum cloud computing. O…

The formation and evolution of massive galaxies is reasonably well understood in the context of the successful standard ΛCDM formalism. Such simulations of cosmic evolution, however, lead to serious challenges in the regime of very faint ga…

Soft biological tissues—such as skin, vessels, and tumors—exhibit highly complex mechanical behavior driven by nonlinear, time-dependent, and multiphysical interactions. Traditional models often treat these effects in isolation, failing to…

Large bone defects caused by trauma, disease, or ageing represent a growing clinical challenge in Europe, particularly in an ageing population. Current treatments heavily rely on bone grafts taken from the patient or donors, which are limit…

For the first 24 months of the project, the project has been implemented in line with the overall objectives. In terms of theoretical advances, we have had new results on the study of tensor spaces (objective 1), including generalized addit…

The aim of the MSCA-DN project CaLiForNIA is to provide a novel interdisciplinary training to a new generation of researchers in the key theoretical areas of Cartan geometry, Lie theory, and representation theory, as well as their quantum c…

Historically, major storms, the associated storm surges and rainfall have posed the biggest threat to life and property around coastlines and along rivers. However, in the age of global warming and accompanying sea level rise the confluence…

Structural components made from composite materials are increasingly used in transport, aerospace, renewable energy, marine structures and other safety-critical engineering systems because they are lightweight, strong and corrosion resistan…

The adoption of renewable hydrogen as green fuel and energy storage is key to achieve the European Green Deal. However, its large-scale storage is still facing significant challenges.

A sustainable climate and an ecosystem-friendly economy demands novel "cell factories", in which organisms convert renewable biomass into various biomaterials that would otherwise be derived from fossil fuels or (harsh) chemistry. Especiall…

The SCIBOS project (“State functionaries in Byzantium: a social and cultural study, 7th–9th c.”) aimed to investigate the career patterns, social status, mobility, networks and cultural identity of Byzantine officials through the systematic…

Cultural heritage is at risk. 65% of the global heritage stock is structurally deficient due to ageing, lack of maintenance, environmental exposure and natural and human-induced hazards.

Photosynthesis is a natural process that relies on harvesting solar energy and transforming it into chemical energy. In addition to its ecological importance, obtaining a better molecular-level understanding of photosynthesis, particularly…

The overall purpose of the project was to investigate the relations between Indigenous women and the non-human world, with particular attention to women’s traditional ecological knowledge, their ontological relations with animals, landscape…

It concerns the following changes: 1. GA termination (early termination) These change(s) are necessary for the following reason(s): Arthur Hrast-Essenfelder, the researcher who applied for the grant, decided to withdraw BEFORE the start of…

High-throughput experimental techniques have transformed the life sciences, enabling quantitative investigation of biological systems across scales, from molecules and cells to patients and populations. These technologies generate massive,…

FutureData4EU is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND programme designed to address the growing demand for highly skilled researchers capable of navigating the societal, economic and ethical challenges posed by data-driven transformations in Eur…
