Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change risks

Adaptation to climate change requires in-depth understanding of climate change driven risks, including their determinants (hazards, exposure and vulnerabilities) and impacts to human, production and natural systems. Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change Risks (IRISCC) is a consortium of diverse and complementary leading research infrastructures (RIs) covering disciplines from natural sciences to social sciences, across different domains and sectors. IRISCC provides scientific and knowledge services to foster cutting-edge research and evidence-based policymaking to improve Europe's resilience to climate change. IRISCC ensures a “one-stop-shop” for various user communities on climate change risk related RI services by setting up a dedicated Catalogue of services and related access management system both for granting transnational (onsite and remote) and offering virtual access. The Catalogue of services will be built through three consecutive releases, each delivering increasingly integrated services to its user communities. The IRISCC service integration will include Service Design Labs employing co-design and transdisciplinary action, and Service Demonstrators benchmarking the integrated cross-RI services. In addition to services aimed towards the scientific community, IRISCC will offer knowledge services aimed towards policymakers and other stakeholders. This is done together with risk management platforms. The research enabled by IRISCC contributes to future reports on climate change effects (IPCC, IPBES) as well as policy- and decision-making to meet the targets of climate adaptation strategies. IRISCC contributes to training a new generation of scientists to efficiently use RI services and for data stewardship. Data from IRISCC will be open and made available in compliance with FAIR principles and linked to European initiatives such as EOSC. Strong links will be created between IRISCC and current and future efforts under Horizon Europe.

International Platform on Obstetric Violence (IPOV): an innovative tool for a respectful maternity and  childbirth care

Over-medicalisation and disrespect in maternity and childbirth care have been identified by international research as an urgent global public health topic (WHO 2014, Simonovic 2019, Council of Europe 2019). The IPOV-RESPECTFUL CARE project intends to bring attention to obstetric violence and respectful maternity and childbirth care by implementing a concrete tool—the International Platform on Obstetric Violence—to bridge academic research and public policy, training for health professionals, women’s perspectives and public engagement on the matter. The Platform will be an innovative, international, interdisciplinary, intersectoral and cross-cultural digital and interactive tool for producing, sharing and transferring knowledge, systematising and exchanging good practices, acquiring skills and planning gender -based innovative training packages on respectful maternity and childbirth care among health professionals, health training managers, decision makers, researchers, women and all of society. To achieve these goals, a network of 39 breakthrough experts, from 19 participating organisations and 9 countries (universities, research centres, civil organisations and health maternity care institutions) will be established.

Concept development for a research infrastructure to manage, integrate and sustain large medical cohort studies

The INTEGRATE-LMedC consortium will develop a new concept to guide and support decision-making for the next-generation research infrastructure (RI) to facilitate efficient utilization and harmonization of large medical cohorts (LMedC), and to accelerate scientific and medical breakthroughs in Europe and beyond. Achievement of the ambitious objectives will only be possible through the integration of 11 highly interdisciplinary partners including established ERIC / ESFRI infrastructures such BBMRI,  ECRIN, EIRENE and EBRAINS with unique expertise in conceptualizing and implementing European RIs. The partners will generate a gap analysis to identify what is missing of cohort data and samples, RI tools and services, quality measures, governance models, user needs and the barriers for efficient utilization of these cohorts and RI, including ethical and legal frameworks. To identify IT technologies and architecture for suitable data stewardship and long-term availability of European RIs, the partners will prepare for a feasibility study for federated data analysis of LMedC. The feasibility study will be based on two examples of use-cases: one stroke case using data from medical health registry data and one case using data from longitudinal population-based studies with different technical, legal, and ethical challenges. To ensure availability of data and samples related to existing and future LMedC studies and their re-use for secondary research, the partners will develop a concept outline including a governance plan and guiding principles for data access policies and data protection policy, whilst considering the FAIR principles and ELSI issues. An overarching RI concept to manage, integrate, and sustain LMedC studies will be developed, including an initial financial and operational plan for the implementation of the new RI outlining new services and access opportunities for the research community.

REGULAR AND UNPLANNED CARE ADAPTIVE DASHBOARD FOR CROSS–BORDER EMERGENCIES

During cross-border health emergencies, health and care services may be overwhelmed by high numbers of patients requiring unplanned care. Delays and backlogs in regular care, as a result of the stretched health care system, leave millions of patients with regular care needs unattended, resulting in disastrous healthcare outcomes. If poor healthcare outcomes across the population are to be avoided, healthcare systems must become more resilient and flexible and allow for rapid changes in the care delivery services. RAPIDE’s aim is to develop, validate and demonstrate a portfolio of powerful tools that enable healthcare systems to build in robustness of decisions, resilience of the health care professionals and patients and flexibility in the modalities of care delivery, thereby maintaining access to regular care during health emergencies.   RAPIDE emphasises opportunities for optimising in-hospital care, but also for relocating care from hospitals to community and home environments without loss of care quality. Thus, the project focuses on two closely-linked challenges – 1: Identifying and predicting how much care, and which care, needs to be moved along the care chain; 2: Identifying and verifying effective, feasible and acceptable ways to make this reconfiguration of care a reality. This will be achieved by (a) resource modelling, which builds comprehensive foresight and forecasting solutions and links them to patient flows optimization, along the whole chain of care, (b) selecting and implementing the best available tools to deliver regular care in new ways. To ensure usability, acceptability and equitable real-world value, RAPIDE will be co-designed and co-validated with stakeholders, from patients, GPs, clinicians and hospital managers to health ministries, pandemic-management and public health agencies. A Table Top Exercise and extensive communication and dissemination will raise awareness of the project’s successes.

Transition to safe & sustainable food systems through new & innovative detection methods & digital solutions for plant-based products derived from new genomic techniques, under a co-creation approach

DARWIN aims to contribute to a fair, healthy, safe and environmentally friendly food system by co-developing an innovative detection strategy by integrating targeted analytical PCR-based methods, untargeted sequencing methods, and digital solutions. A new generation of innovative and reliable DNA-based analytical detection methods, ranging from enhanced PCR methods for NGT detection, identification and quantification in single and multi-target systems, to untargeted sequencing methods related to whole-genome sequencing, laser capture microdissection-based sequencing and high throughput metagenomics sequencing for NGT screening and characterization. DARWIN will bring a cutting-edge approach developing genetic fingerprints using artificial intelligence to overcome challenges related to event-specific targeted methods, unambiguously identifying specific NGT lines. DARWIN also brings innovation in the new application of digital solutions such as data spaces and documentation-based screening to increase the data evidence to NGTs; blockchains to enable transparent and traceable detection along the food chain; AI models; and a Decision Support System to improve accuracy and support the selection of the best fit for purpose detection methods. DARWIN will reach TRL4-5 though validation including in-house, transferability and full trials, and presenting 3 cases representative of real situations relevant for NGT products in the EU agri-food market. After methods validation and the definition of a clear oriented detection strategy, DARWIN will theoretically extrapolate its finding to more complex scenarios encountering the diversity of NGT lines and food products that might reach EU markets. All this, under an interdisciplinary co-creation ecosystem based on Responsible Research and innovation (RRI) principals, empowering a wide variety of stakeholders - including consumers - in Europe and internationally; and robustly contributing to the policy making.

Internal Fortress: Regulating European Freedom of Movement within the Nation-State, 1950-1980

Against the prevailing view that freedom of movement lowered internal barriers to movement while raising walls against outsiders to create a ‘fortress Europe,’ this project investigates how the introduction of freedom of movement may have strengthened national political authority over European migration within the member states of the European Economic Community (EEC). InternalFortress suggests that as governments gradually lifted entry restrictions across the EEC, they also built out new internal administrative machinery to insert ‘Community migrants’ into key areas of social and economic life, placing migrants from outside the bloc at a disadvantage within local communities. The project explores this hypothesis in three key areas: social security, skill development, and union participation. The PI will lead a team of two PhD researchers and one postdoc to deploy a methodologically innovative multi-layered research program that analyses the interplay between national, European, and international institutions, as well as the private NGO networks that flowed between those formal frameworks. In contrast to previous histories of freedom of movement, which explain policy outcomes leading up to today’s regime of European citizenship, InternalFortress makes an important interpretive innovation by focusing squarely on the early process of transition from the 1950s to the 1970s. The project will investigate how the improvised nature of early integration created gaps and tensions that were consolidated in the 1970s as national and regional migration policies settled into more rigid patterns. InternalFortress suggests that policies behind the border matter as much as policies at the border for understanding the acrimonious debates around European migration that continue through the present.

Interoperable applications suite to enhance European identity and document Security and fraud detection

Combatting frauds on identity and travel documents is a key mission of law enforcement agencies and border guards. Industries have been working on new means to combat frauds on identity, and public authorities are using numerous technologies to accomplish their mission, but permanent innovation is required to fight highly skilled defrauders. A number of European innovation projects have tested new ways to combat fraud but few of them reached an operational level. EINSTEIN objectives is to enhance significantly existing public authorities’ means through innovation, building on technologies proven in the labs but not mature for an operational usage yet. EINSTEIN will deliver six applications essential to fight identity frauds: 1) online ID issuance using a secure cloud-based server for real-time biometric quality checks and fraud detection, 2) mobile document and identity checks using commercially available smartphones, 3) document authentication module to detect fraudulent documents, 4) pre-registration for land-border crossings including biometrics and DTC, 5) EES kiosk with advanced fraud detection using video surveillance, 6) fast track for enrolled travelers using on-the-move face and iris. To ensure TRL7 at a minimum, practitioners will run six different pilot use cases in their own environment. A key objective is also to ensure interoperability and flexibility of all the components developed in the project so that they can be reused in different contexts, possibly by different providers. Design of open, well-defined, standardized interfaces will allow achieving this objective. Privacy being an essential concern of all European citizens and governments, EINSTEIN will take into account privacy-by-design principles, developing flexible components to ease their customization in order to meet not only the European legislation on data protection but also national legislations on this matter, which vary significantly from one country to the other. 

Waste in humanitarian Operations: Reduction and Minimisation

Waste in humanitarian Operations: Reduction and Minimisation (WORM)'s overall objective is designing guidelines and support actions for circular economy in the humanitarian sector. WORM focuses on two selected settings: field hospital deployments, and humanitarian livelihood programmes with a waste picking component. Across these settings, the project focuses on several cross-cutting focus areas:  •	the integration of bio-based technological innovation solutions in the humanitarian context,  •	using procurement as a gatekeeper for waste avoidance, and gateway to integrate innovative solutions,  •	improvements in waste management, and the use of less polluting waste treatment methods,  •	a specific focus on the sustainable livelihoods of waste pickers, and  •	policy development, advocacy and a heightened local awareness of improved waste management in the relevant local contexts. Following a multi-actor approach, WORM brings together medical humanitarian organisations and humanitarian organisations with livelihood programmes with innovation and supplier clusters, procurement service providers, logistics service providers, waste management service providers and academic partners. WORM seeks to involve a myriad of different stakeholders in data collection and policy development, including but not limited to, humanitarian actors positioned in the field during an operation, local waste management companies, start-ups focusing on bio-based solutions, policymakers (both local and global), and research institutions. WORM includes partners from low- and middle-income countries (esp. Kenya, Viet Nam) since humanitarian operations are often implemented in these contexts. WORM will focus on these contexts in their local awareness campaigns for improved waste management.

Supporting Policy Regulations and Interventions to Negate aggravated Global diarrheal disease due to future climate Shocks

BACKGROUND: Global warming and climate extremes such as heavy precipitation, flooding, and drought are increasing risks for waterborne diarrheal disease. While these effects already burden low- and middle-income countries, where diarrheal diseases are the second leading cause of childhood deaths, Europe has shared and underappreciated vulnerabilities. There is an urgent need to prepare and protect our water and communities from these threats. AIM: To inform key climate, environmental, and health adaptation policies, in order to support and prepare citizens, communities and governments by better measuring the impact of future climate shocks on the burden of water-borne diarrheal diseases. APPROACH: We bring together scientists from climate, environment, health, and social sciences to collaborate with communities, industry, public authorities and policy makers across socioeconomic settings. We will model the future impact of global climate change, on local water quality and quantity, and diarrheal disease outcomes. In case studies in Ghana, Tanzania, Italy, and Romania, we will measure current interactions of climate, behaviour, and water quality on pathogen-specific diarrheal disease risks and the safety of water supply systems. We will engage individuals and communities to understand situated understandings and practices to improve risk communication and ownership. With policy makers, we will design appraisal structures to assess the economic impact and value of planetary health interventions to prevent climate-related diarrheal disease. IMPACT: SPRINGS will improve integrated climate and health surveillance, create climate-resilient water supply systems, engage citizens and stakeholders, and use evidence-based value assessments to prioritise interventions to prevent climate-induced diarrheal disease.  Long term adaptive capacity and climate-resilience will increase in Europe and beyond, preventing unnecessary illness and deaths from waterborne diarrheal disease.

Den økende digitaliseringen av grunnleggende offentlige og private tjenester har ført med seg enorme fremskritt. Samtidig har det økt risikoen for flere og mer sofistikerte cyberangrep. Cyberangrep rettet mot kritiske sektorer som helse, finans og energi setter befolkningens liv i fare når de lykkes og er derfor blitt en stor bekymring. For å håndtere disse truslene har EU forslått flere lover for å forbedre både den digitale og fysiske motstandskraften til kritiske enheter og nettverk, inkludert Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS 2), Critical Entities Resilience Directive (CER) og Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Fordi dette er et fagområde i utvikling med lite rettspraksis og annen veiledning, er det mangel på jurirdisk forskning. Der det er forskning er det ofte fragmentert mellom institusjoner og disipliner, noe som reduserer rekkevidden og påvirkningskraften.
CyberReg-nettverket samler et tverrfaglig team av forskere med mål om å fremme vitenskapelig utveksling og påvirkning ved å (1) stimulere til kollektiv forskningsinnsats og utvikle en felles forståelse for virkningen av lovforslag innen cybersikkerhet og (2) bygge broer mellom akademikere, beslutningstakere og industri for å bidra til et mer motstandsdyktig samfunn. For å nå disse målene vil nettverket fokusere på å besvare følgende spørsmål: (1) i hvilken grad adresserer de overnevnte lovforslagene cybertruslene samfunnet står overfor i dag? (2) Hvordan påvirker disse lovforslagene hverandre og eksisterende regler? (3) Hvordan skal vi bygge bro mellom generelle juridiske krav til cybersikkerhet og organisasjoners behov for å ha konkrete og handlingsrettede elementer? Nettverkets forskingsinnsats vil først og fremst fokusere på regulatorisk utvikling i EU og Norge, men vil også holde seg oppdatert på den globale utviklingen innen cybersikkerhetsnormer.

Cyberthreats have become a great societal concern. The increasing digitalisation of vital public and private services, together with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has expanded the cyberthreat landscape, giving rise to new vulnerabilities and risks. To deal with this new reality, the EU has unveiled several legislative proposals that aim to bolster cyber and physical resilience of critical entities and networks. Key among these initiatives are the proposals for NIS 2 Directive, the Critical Entities Resilience Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act and the Secure Connectivity Act. These initiatives come on top of existing and upcoming legislative initiatives that address security such as the GDPR, proposals for eIDAS Regulation and the Artificial Intelligence Act. This creates a complex and dense regulatory landscape that requires scrutiny. The CyberReg Network brings together researchers with the aim of stimulating harmonized research efforts on these legislative initiatives and increase impact by engaging with, and disseminating insights to, key change agents from the public and private sectors. 

The activities of the Network will focus on the follwoing three key areas: 1) creating avenues to foster knowledge exchange with a view to developing shared understanding of the regulatory developments, their interaction and impact in addressing the cyberthreats; 2) creating support system for researchers to increase visibility and collaboration internationally, encourage publication in international journals, and thereby strengthen the quality of research; 3) increase the discovery and accessibility of research on cyberthreats and associated regulatory developments and thereby improve the ability of industry, policymakers, and students to better understand and respond to the threats. The network will run for four years and will bring together an interdisciplinary team comprising researchers from BI, UiO, UiT, Politihøyskolen, TUM and University of Luzern.

Villsvinet er en art som greier seg godt i verden der andre store pattedyrarter ofte har problemer og noen ganger utryddes. Villsvinets innvandring fra Sverige til Norge og raske spredning her i landet har gitt det en plass på listan över invasiva arter, og gjort det til en fredløs art som må kontrolleres for enhver pris. I dette prosjektet skal vi undersøke «villsvinkrigen» på tvers av ulike sektorer i samfunnet. Ved å beskrive hvordan ulike aktører forbereder seg på en villsvininvasjon, inkludert utarbeidelse av beredskapsplaner for å forebygge sykdomsrisiko og trusler mot jordbruket, kan vi studere utviklingen av «biosecurtization» mens den pågår. «Bisoecuritization» viser til beskyttelse av ulike former for liv mot trusler mot dette livet. Det betyr å drepe noen livsformer for å beskytte andre, og gi prioritet til folkehelse, biologisk mangfold og jordbruk. Vi vil anvende intervjuer og deltakende observasjon av bønder, jegere, grunneiere og brukere av skogsnatur for å avdekke hvordan bio-sikkerhet i praksis forsøkes iverksatt når det gjelder villsvin. På denne bakgrunn vil vi undersøke de kontrollteknologier som villsvin inviterer til på ulike nivåer i samfunnet, fra bruk av gjerder, sonering, isolasjon og tiltak innen kjøttindustrien, til mer ekstreme ideer som medisinering og sterilisering av villsvin. I vår analyse vil vi se på villsvinet som en katalysator for endrede relasjoner mellom menneske og natur, inkludert hvordan jegere og bønder tilpasser sine tradisjonelle praksiser for å ivareta bio-sikkerhet. I en verden der vi strever mot strengere kontroll av grenser og levende veseners bevegelser, hva kan «villsvinkrigen» fortelle oss om framtidas forvaltning og beskyttelse av natur?

In the war on boars, veterinary medicine, epidemiology and conservation ecology have mobilized a regime of biosecurity that aims to keep boars down and out at any cost, waging necropolitics on unruly life. The approach raises questions about the implications of proactive interventions in nature, the process of turning animals into numbers to be culled, and nature users into agents of biosecuritization. The war on boars can be leveraged toward methodological insights as to how, and with what effect, a necropolitical regime is put in place, legitimated, or contested on the ground by biopolitical actors. 

As wild boars are just now making their way into Norway and onto its blacklist, they facilitate the real-time study of biopower and necropolitics in relation to invasive species. Our project will study the war on boars as a heuristic device, responding to calls from various disciplines to utilize animals as windows into society. The case has the potential, first, to show how assessments over who lives or dies, and for what good, are made by sectors in society in the name of biosecurity. Second, we deploy boar as catalysts for changed human-nature relations, including how hunters and farmers reconcile their traditional practices with biosecurity agendas. Through interviews and ethnography we document the technologies of control that wild boars invite at various levels of society, from fencing, zoning, quarantine, isolation and processing of meat to more outlandish proposals of immunocontraceptives. 
 
Our research proposes to apprehend the means and arenas by which biopower imposes fundamental changes, not only on the animal itself, but in the everyday practices of hunters, farmers, landowners and forest users and their relations to one another. This is synthesized in a final workpackage to contribute to insights on nature management paradigms, with the command-and-control model to wild boars marking a departure from rewilding approaches.

Pig Non Grata: Understanding Biopower, Necropolitics and Securitization of Nature through the ‘War on Boars’

Utgangspunktet for innovasjonsprosjektet er oppdagelsen at ekstrakt fra silderogn kan ha effekt på mild-til-moderat psoriasis (1). I dette prosjektet forsket man videre på stoffene i silderogn og virkningsmekanismer i psoriasis, og er del av Arctic Biosciences omfattende forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid. Prosjektet ble gjennomført i samarbeid med Nofima og Møreforsking. 

Arctic Bioscience´s legemiddelkandidat (kalt HRO350) er utvunnet fra silderogn og har vist lovende klinisk effekt på mild-til-moderat psoriasis (1). Silderognen er et restråstoff fra sildefiletproduksjon. Vi foredler altså en uutnyttet ressurs fra norsk fiskerinæringMålet er å utvikle et nytt behandlingsalternativ for pasienter med mild-til-moderat psoriasis. Nå studerer selskapet hvilke effekter middelet har på cellenivå. 

Arctic Bioscience, med hovedbase på Sunnmøre, har lang erfaring innen lipidkjemi og produktutvikling, mens Nofima og Møreforsking har ekspertise innen biokjemi og cellebiologi. Forskningspartnerne skal undersøke hvordan stoffene i silderogn påvirker flere typer celler i kroppen. Nofima ser nærmere på hudceller. Gjennom å dyrke ulike typer celler som inngår i huden samtidig får vi en situasjon som ligner mer på hvordan de er i kroppen. Møreforsking skal bidra med å studere effekter i ulike immunceller, som også spiller en viktig rolle i sykdomsbildet for psoriasis. Sammen har partene gjennom dette prosjektet forsket for å forstå de cellulære og molekylære mekanismene for dette produktet.

Arctic Bioscience AS is developing the investigational medicinal product HRO350 as an immunomodulatory first-in-class treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis. The drug development of HRO350 has an innovative sustainable and environmental approach, and is manufactured from a residual side-stream from sustainably sourced herring roe according to cGMP using proprietary technology and a sustainable natural raw material, by taking a residual side stream from herring fillet production and turning it into a pharmaceutical product. Results from this project will propel the clinical development of HRO350. 

The successful development and launch of HRO350 would strengthen sustainable pharmaceutical value creation and creating high-skill jobs in the rural parts of Norway, with a planned factory located in Ørsta. 

This project will be conducted by a constellation of collaborators in the marine and immunomodulatory fields, and will provide deeper understanding of the cellular mechanisms and complex structural characteristics of HRO350. The R&D activities include both advanced cellular studies and structural characterisation. The cellular activities of HRO350 will be evaluated both in primary immune cell models to understand the effects on the IL-23/IL-17 axis and in co-culture models to investigate its effects on cellular communication, extracellular matrix homeostasis, and receptor regulation. Sequential fractionation of HRO350 in conjunction with in vitro studies will be used to confirm the active part of the lipid matrix. Advanced characterisation of HRO350 and sub-fractions will focus on lipid class-specific fatty acid compositions.

Properties of phospholipids from Herring Roe in Psoriasis

Business-konseptet er å utvikle, dokumentere og patentere et terapeutisk sårhelingsprodukt fra et ekstrakt av lakseegg. Produktet vil forbedre sårheling, stimulere regenerering av hudceller, regulere hudcelle-differensiering (celledelingsegenskaper) og st imulere kollagen-utskillelse. Pilotstudier har gitt positive resultater, og forskningen er relatert til nyheten om at stamceller kan lages fra hudceller (NRK 21.11.2007). Effektene er også ettertraktede i kosmetikk, og vi vil skille ut et ekstrakt til kos metisk bruk. Salg av et kosmetisk produkt vil finansiere videre utvikling og klinisk utprøvning av sårhelingsproduktet. Forskningen utføres i samarbeide med Prof. Collas ved Universitetet i Oslo.

Innovasjonen er unike produkter utviklet fra et ekstrakt a v lakseegg, som vil tilføre skadet hud regenererende substanser som vil forbedre hudcellenes vekst og regulere cellulær differensiering. Egg, som stamceller, er udifferensierte celler som uttrykker gener og proteiner som stimulerer rask cellevekst. Fostre  kan hele sår uten arr og små barn kan gro tilbake avkuttede fingertupper - egenskaper som har å gjøre med cellers differensieringsgrad og som blir tapt under menneskets aldringsprosess. Lakseegg-ekstraktet vil vekke disse medfødte regenererende egenskape ne lokalt i huden, og vil derfor ha store fordeler både i sårheling og kosmetikk. Sår behandles med antibiotika og betennelsesdempende stoffer - som ikke påvirker sårhelingsmekanismer direkte. Kosmetiske produkter inneholder bla fuktighetsgivende stoffer.  Våre produkter er unike fordi det ikke finnes produkter som kan regulere hudcellenes differensieringsgrad. 

Prosjektet vil levere (1) et vitenskapelig dokumentert og patentert ekstrakt som forbedrer hud og sårheling, (2) terapeutisk produkt testet prekl inisk, (3) et kosmetisk produkt. Business-strategier inkluderer videre forskning på nye produkter, lisensiering av patenter eller salg av firmaet
