Dynamic Glycosylated Polymers as Potential Antibacterials – GlycoDyn
WHO has established a list of pathogens (ESKAPE) displaying antimicrobial resistance. Among them, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a bacterium involved in multiple infections and is lethal for patients with cystic fibrosis. Bacteria bind to host cells through protein-carbohydrate interactions. Lectins
XAI for Black-Box Models Using Logic-Based Formal Methods and Combinatorial Optimization – FORM-XAI
The FORM-XAI project addresses the growing need for interpretability in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. Complex models, such as deep neural networks, while effective, raise concerns about their opacity, ther
Physics-informed reduced-order modeling for digital twins of sustainable combustion systems – PROMCOM
In the current energy transition scenario, energy-intensive industries and long-range transportation sectors remain heavily reliant on the combustion of fossil fuels. Thus, renewable and alternative fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, and biofuels, are vital for achieving carbon neutrality in these di
Youth and Logistics Integration in the 15-Minute City – INCLUCity+
The 15-minute city (15mC) promotes walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods that prioritize accessibility, local services, and human-centric urban design to reduce car-dependency and foster more sustainable, inclusive, active and liveable cities. However, much of the research on 15mC overlooks the unique
Quantum and ensemble control in small times – QUEST
A variety of physically relevant quantum systems, whose evolution is governed by bilinear Schrödinger PDEs, are known to be controllable in large time. Nevertheless, there are examples which are controllable in large time, but not in small times. This obstruction happens e.g. in the presence of sub-
Structural optimization and preclinical validation of ABCB4 correctors – SOPREVAC
Bile secretion facilitates the digestion of dietary fats and the elimination of endogenous and exogenous toxic substances. This vital function is carried out by the liver and begins at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes, wherein transmembrane proteins such as the ABCB4 transporter secrete phosp
COupled experimeNtal/theory study oF electrochemical inteRfaces fOr N2 reducTion into green ammonia – CONFRONT
The CONFRONT project brings together two experimental teams and one theoretical team to deepen the understanding of electrocatalysis, focusing on the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). This reaction is essential for producing ammonia and replacing the current Bosch process, which is energy-intensive
Tailoring energy transfer and transport mechanisms in metal oxide - metal nanoparticles heterostructures for enhanced light harvesting – TETROX
Metal oxides (MO) decorated with metal nanoparticles (NPs) have demonstrated an enormous applicative potential in domains such as chemical sensing, photovoltaics, visible light photodegradation, photocatalytic materials, photoelectrochemical water splitting or photodetectors. It is believed that the
AEM-EC - Reduced production costs – HyReCo
The planned project HyReCo will develop a cost-effective, robust open-source AEM cell designed for industrial mass production that can be implemented in the stack or system and used in a wide range of application scenarios. The main targets are the reduction of production costs for single components
Interdisciplinary and multi-tracer scientific exploitation of the GEOTRACES GEOVIDE cruise results, through modelling and observations – GEOMOBS
The scientific analysis of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) data in the ocean, obtained through GEOTRACES cruises, is often conducted using simplified tools such as box models, one-dimensional models, or optimal multiparametric analyses. These approaches generally do not allow for the full integra
