Improving tropical forest conservation in Africa

The importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for better balancing tropical forest conservation and poverty alleviation goals is increasingly recognised. Yet, in Africa, poor understanding of the impact of harvesting on species’ populations and forest carbon stocks, together with little information on the traditional institutions which have informally regulated NTFPs extraction in the past -and could continue to do so in the future-, hamper the use of NTFPs in both forest conservation and development initiatives. 
AFRI-FOR will gather the knowledge needed to determine (1) the key enablers of sustainable harvesting for groups of plant or wild meat species, (2) which types of NTFP harvesting can have synergies with carbon storage, and (3) how traditional institutions can be integrated into formal conservation. To achieve these objectives, AFRI-FOR provide new methods, including (i) a new interdisciplinary approach for investigating NTFPs harvesting impacts, combining traditional ecological knowledge (TEK, from local communities), surveys of plants and wildlife, market surveys and modelling techniques; and (ii) a novel standardised protocol for gathering information about traditional institutions and compliance towards them. AFRI-FOR will gather data and knowledge from 20 socio-ecological forest contexts in five countries (Sierra Leone, Cameroon, DR Congo, Uganda and Kenya), which will allow insights to transcend single sites and provide a much-needed general understanding. This high-risk and high-gain project will provide a step-change in our ability to inform forest conservation in Africa, by identifying synergies between biodiversity conservation, carbon storage and poverty alleviation goals.


Bilberry Ecology and the Regeneration of forest Ecosystem Functioning

Human impacts such as clearcut harvesting have left forests bereft of the organisms that underpin their functioning. The decline of key plant species has reduced the capacity of forests to store carbon (C) and provide ecosystem services to the people of Europe. The regeneration of forest ecosystem functioning requires a deeper understanding of how the traits of its species can be linked to ecosystem processes. The BEREFT project aims to elucidate how the plant traits of bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus, modulate the dynamics of C and nitrogen (N) within the boreal forest. The project combines advances in chemical ecology with an innovative experimental design situated in Norway pairing experimental plots in formerly clearcut forest plantations with those from near-natural forests. I will collect a comprehensive set of bilberry's chemical traits and test both in-situ and in-vitro experiments to determine the underlying mechanism linking bilberry traits to C and N dynamics. The project goes beyond the state-of-the-art in applying novel methods from chemical ecology to measure bilberry's traits and uses a creative design to link those traits to ecosystem functioning. Through the scope of traits measured and the innovation in experimental design pairing clearcut forests with near-natural forests, this project will significantly advance our knowledge of the ecology of Europe's forest ecosystems. I will receive training in chemical ecology to advance my career as an expert in data generation and exchange with the host my knowledge on long-term ecological experimentation and ecosystem functioning. The project will disseminate deliverables in trait data packages, an open-source chemical ecology pipeline, and a robust measure of the effect size of bilberry's impact on C and N in the boreal forest. Knowledge of bilberry's role in the forest C cycle can be exploited by forestry managers in efforts to maximize C storage to meet the EU's goal of carbon neutrality.

AQUASERV – RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES FOR SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE, FISHERIES AND THE BLUE ECONOMY

The overarching objectives of AQUASERV are to bring together, enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities (including facilities, instruments and expertise) and through the provision of transnational access (on-site or remote) and/or virtual access, to significantly further scientific advance and promote and facilitate the implementation of European Common Fisheries Policy, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Sustainable Blue Economy and the European Green Deal. 

AQUASERV will achieve these objectives by offering scientists from academia and business remote and on-site transnational (TA) and virtual (VA) access to an advanced set of European research infrastructures and its nodes related to research and management of marine and freshwater biological resources, food and biotechnology. These include the European Marine Biological Resource Centre ERIC (EMBRC), the Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems ERIC, The Aquaculture for Excellence for Aquaculture in Fish (Aquaexcel), and the Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition (METROFOOD), as well as the International Council for Exploration of the Sea, both a service provider and stakeholder. It also includes the Research Infrastructure for Science and Innovation Policy Studies (RISIS) to bring contributions from the social sciences and to bring results nearer to policy makers ensuring societal impact. 

To enhance, integrate and customise RI capacities, collaboration between partners and new pipelines to meet the objectives of the project will be developed during the first 3 years and will make available  to users.  To ensure these capacities will not be lost, a sustainability work package involving stakeholders will address the project legacy.  

To maximize impact, AQUASERV will build a communication network among the partnership and develop a dissemination and outreach programme. Furthermore, an advanced training programme will be developed to capture future users and will be updated during the p

Aqua Research Infrastructure Services for the health and protection of our unique, oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems

AQUARIUS will provide a highly comprehensive suite of integrated research infrastructures appropriate to addressing significant challenges for the long-term sustainability of our unique oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems. For the first time, diverse research infrastructures will be combined to facilitate the work of researchers and key stakeholders focused on challenges and opportunities for both marine and freshwater systems. An impressive range of 57 research infrastructure services will be made available to include research vessels, mobile marine observation platforms, aircraft,  drones, satellite, sensors, fixed freshwater and marine observatories and test sites, experimental facilities, and sophisticated data infrastructures. AQUARIUS will support the development phase of the EU Mission to Restore our Ocean and waters by 2030, the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership, the European Green Deal, and international climate initiatives. It will also be an essential component in achieving the European Digital Twin of the Ocean and the UN Decade for Ocean Sciences. The needs of researchers will be met through a robust and transparent system of transnational access funding Calls, facilitated by centralised user-friendly access portal. The Call programme will be informed through stakeholder engagement and brokerage events. Projects to be selected for Access must convincingly integrate multiple infrastructures and contribute to the core policy objectives of Mission Ocean, that is, to protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity; to prevent and eliminate pollution of our oceans, seas and waters; and to ensure a sustainable, carbon-neutral and circular blue economy. A thematic and geographic focus will be the hallmark of the proposed transnational Calls, aligning with the Lighthouse Regions, that is, the Baltic and the North Sea Basins, Black Sea, Atlantic/Arctic, and Mediterranean Sea along with their associated rivers.

Land-Sea interface: Let’s observe together!

LandSeaLot will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation plan. LandSeaLot participants will simultaneously work on improving: in situ and EO capabilities, models to reduce the model/observations gap and the integration of model, in situ and satellite data. Observation capacity will be increased through tested, improved and guided use of low-cost technology by citizens, facilitated by the network of European marinas. The technologies selected will be piloted in Integration Labs (ILs) together with improved and integrated in situ and EO observation techniques and model outputs. LandSeaLot ILs will cover selected areas in the Black, Aegean, Mediterranean, Atlantic, North and Baltic Seas, with a range of catchment, tidal and meteorological regimes. Experts and citizen science leaders will work in the ILs together with JERICO-RI, DANUBIUS-RI and ICOS-ERIC, and with regional policy makers and managers to tailor integrated observations that will provide them with information to manage societal challenges. These will include assessment of the lateral carbon flux and stock, plastics transfer, nutrients impact on primary production and eutrophication, supporting biodiversity conservation, improving modeling capability and supporting climate change adaptation (storm surge, floods, heat waves, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion). Data generated in the ILs will be made FAIR available via EMODnet and interoperability, and semantic solutions for existing, international data flows will be developed. Relevant communities will be engaged by workshops, conferences, training, a high-tech summit and by a communication strategy including videos and policy briefs to ensure LandSeaLot’s legacy.

Optimisation of digital catch monitoring and reporting in European Fisheries

 OptiFish will strive to provide technological solutions that will simultaneously improve the sustainability of fisher’s operations, enhance control processes and strengthen society’s trust in their products.
OptiFish will develop, test and recommend a set of innovative technologies and tools supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide the management, the fishing sector and the scientist with data on catch volumes, catch compositions and the fishing environment. 
The goal is to unlock the full potential of technologies such as electronic and genetic monitoring for automated species recognition based on AI and computer vision to reduce discards, unreported landings and unreported fishing activities, ultimately establishing  a fisheries control and enforcement system fit for the digital age. The technologies are not enough alone, it is also critical to consider the combination of technologies and the integration of computer vision models, the wide range of data sources and their subsequent formats, while also addressing stakeholders needs and acceptance. 
This goal cannot be achieved by a single project, which is why the aim of OptiFish is to lay a solid foundation for full technological development from which other projects and initiatives can be built. The project will place a strong focus on species recognition in different fisheries equipped with distinctly different catch handling facilities and in different European sea basins. 
To ensure that these innovations are relevant to fisheries management, OptiFish has participation from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, and has received written support from the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA), the Basque, Danish and Belgian Fisheries authorities.



Regulation of ABA production and cell wall viscoelasticity by the cell wall integrity maintenance mechanism

Recent severe heatwaves and prolonged drought negatively affect agricultural crop fitness and biomass, threatening global food security. Therefore, there is an urgent need to enhance crop resilience against environmental stress to reduce crop loss. The cell wall is of key interest here due to its role as the primary barrier against environmental stress. However, improving crop tolerance via cell wall manipulation remains challenging due to plasticity, which determines the wall's ability to alter its shape, composition, and viscoelasticity (stiffness and viscosity). Plasticity seems to be modulated by the cell wall integrity (CWI) maintenance mechanism. A mechanism that continuously monitors the functional integrity of cell walls by utilizing a wide range of CWI sensors to sense damages in the cell wall and initiate wall remodeling. Any impairment in the CWI triggers adaptive responses, including the production of phytohormones. Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the key phytohormones that regulate plant adaptive responses against abiotic stresses. Although the potential of the CWI maintenance mechanism modulating cell wall plasticity via ABA signaling has been proposed, the underlying mechanism remains largely unexplored. Therefore, investigating interactions between these processes may lead to the development of novel strategies to improve plant tolerance against abiotic stress. In this project, I will investigate the relationship between changes in ABA and cell wall viscoelasticity controlled by the CWI maintenance mechanism. I will also identify and characterize novel components of the CWI maintenance mechanism responsible for the induction of ABA production. Furthermore, the knowledge produced here will facilitate the identification of corresponding orthologs in commercial crops that can be used to develop strategies to improve crop performance.

Small4Good: Sustainable multifunctional management by small forest owners in support of bioeconomy, biodiversity and climate

The strategic objective of Small4Good is to enable and activate small-forest owners to safeguard biodiversity and enhance the provision of ecosystem services from Europe's forests through multifunctional and locally adapted management models that are financially supported by PES and implemented with support by of digital- and AI-based solutions. 

Snall4Good will develop multifunctional management and business models for owners of small forest financially enabled by schemes for PES with focus on biodiversity and carbon farming. The management models are supported by digital and AI solutions to improve the capacity and engagement of small-forests owners. To ensure the long-term impact the models must be aligned with the motivations of the individual owners and the local ecosystem and socioeconomic conditions. Hence, Small4Good focuses on understanding the motivations of small-forest owners and pursues the development of business and management models through a multi-actor living lab approach in four regions across Europe. This follows a co-creation approach that promotes rapid acceptability, prototyping, and implementation to outline realistic locally adapted pathways towards multifunctionality that are aligned with the ambitions outlined in the EU Forest Strategy. The lessons learned will be used to enable small-forest owners across Europe to enter the pathway towards sustainable and multifunctional management as a basis for a fair and inclusive transition towards the bioeconomy. 

Small4Good is aligned with the work programme by providing outcomes contributing to the policy goals of the European Green Deal including increasing the multifunctional role and resilience needs under climate change and contribution to halting and reversing biodiversity loss. This is achieved through better understanding of the motivations of small-forest owners, local small-scale management models based on implementation of carbon farming and PES. 


The Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” aims to pioneer, showcase, and accelerate the transition to healthy soils by 2030, supporting the long-term commitments at European and global level within the Green Deal and Sustainable Development Goals.
Ultimately, the creation of 100 Living Labs (LLs) and Lighthouses (LHs) will accelerate the creation and uptake of solutions by land managers, showcase measurable increase in soil health, improved social capital and citizen awareness. 
SOILL – lead by ENoLL, the international association of certified LLs – aims to set up and run an effective, agile, transdisciplinary, capillary, open and fair one-stop-shop structure. This will coordinate, support, enlarge, and promote the network of 100 Soil Mission LLs and LLs, and ensure their co-created, user-centred, harmonized, reliable, impactful, replicable, and sustainable lead of the transition towards healthy soils across different settings, geographical and socio-economic contexts.
To facilitate this, the SOILL action plan has been designed to be agile and ready to adapt to the specific needs and requirements of LLs and LHs (applicant and established) as well of the different actors relevant in the different ecosystems and value chains. 
SOILL will support the production, exchange, and integration of knowledge to be transformed into specific and specialised skills for expanding practice, social capital, and policies. SOILL will help established LLs and LHs - as well as regional and national stakeholders seen as potential applicants - in building peer-to-peer relationships to ensure that best practices, guidance, knowledge, and lessons learnt are meaningfully shared and that they can learn from each other and scale up implementation of innovative approaches. Alongside, SOILL will start, facilitate, and coordinate the interaction of the network in the wider framework of the soil-related ecosystems, engaging all relevant stakeholders at national, European, and international level.

Prokaryote proteomics at high temperature for single cells

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. Especially promising is the use of thermophilic bacteria and archaea that operate at high temperatures, as this can enable more efficient production processes. However, we currently know very little about the cellular protein machinery (or proteome) of thermophiles, which limits our ability to efficiently use them in cell factories. 

The PROHITS project therefore creates a network for nine doctoral candidates to develop mass spectrometry (MS) driven proteomics approaches to study the in vivo proteome of thermophiles, and to apply the obtained insights to cell factory development. The first aim is to perform proteomics on single prokaryotic cells using advanced microfluidics, MS instrumentation and data analysis, to observe how proteomes vary in individual cells. The second aim is to enable thermal proteome profiling approaches for thermophiles, to observe how their proteomes respond to temperature changes. The third aim is to apply the proteomics insights for predicting how in vivo proteins respond to high temperatures, and to create more detailed genome-scale models of thermophiles. This information is used to improve an existing cell factory that produces lipids for medicine encapsulation, and to expand knowledge of thermophiles that can be used as cell factories. 

To achieve this, PROHITS creates an integrated pipeline of experimental and computational approaches, built within a collaborative network of academics and industry. The doctoral candidates will obtain comprehensive and highly complementary skills, ranging from cutting-edge proteomics analysis, over data analysis and prediction, to systems biology approaches to optimize cell factories, which will enable them as future leaders of a thriving and forward-looking European bioeconomy.

Med utvidelse av tingens-internett (IoT) i forskjellige sektorer, det er estimert at antall tilkoblede enheter vil nå 75 milliarder innen 2025. En av de viktigste bruksområdene til disse enhetene er å føle/måle en eller flere fysiske parametere for overvåking- og/eller aktiveringsformål. Den raske utvikling og massive distribusjon av disse enhetene øker behovet for ny bærekraftig design som tar hensyn til maskinvarebruk og strømforbruk. Dette prosjekt har som mål å utforske en revolusjonerende sekundære bruk av sensornodens antenne for flere parameter måling ved bruk av følsomme sensitive materialer som er utplassert på antenneoverflate. Dette eliminerer den konvensjonelle bruken av sensorintegrerte kretser (IC) og mikrokontrollere, og deres tilhørende strømforbruk. Tanken er å flytte kompleksiteten fra sensorenheten til beregningen av sensordatamottaker stasjonen, hvor signalbehandling og maskinlæringsteknikker benyttes for fjern måling av de fysiske parameterne. Selve sensureringen er gjort ved å detektere endringer på antennestrålingsegenskapene forårsaket av de påførte sensitive materialene på antenneoverflaten. Ideen om å bruke antennen som en aktiv sensor for å måle flere parametere samtidig er nytt. Hvis det lykkes, vil det redusere maskinvarebruken av en standard sensornode med minst 50% (dvs. ingen sensor-IC-er, sampler og prosessor, og minne vil være nødvendig sammen med det tilhørende strømforbruket), noe som resulterer i mer enn dobling av batteriets levetid.

With the expansion of the internet-of-things (IoT) in various sectors, the number of connected devices is expected to reach 75 billion by 2025. One of the main use-cases of such devices is to sense one or more physical parameters for monitoring and/or actuation purposes. The rapid expansion and massive deployment of these devices rise the need for new design consideration to support its future sustainability in terms of hardware use and power consumption. Triggered by this, the MAAS project explores the revolutionary secondary use of the sensor node antenna for multiparameter active sensing purposes using sensitive sensing materials deployed on the antenna surface. This eliminates the conventional use of the sensor integrated circuits (ICs) and microcontrollers, and their associated power consumption. The idea is to move the complexity from the sensor node to the computation of the gateway station, where signal processing and machine learning techniques are employed to remotely sense the physical parameters. This is done by detecting changes on the radiation characteristics of the antenna sensor caused by the applied sensing materials. The idea of using the antenna as a multiparameter active sensor is an absolute novelty. If successful, it will reduce the hardware use of a standard sensor node by at least 50% (i.e. no sensor ICs, sampler and processor, and memory will be needed along with their associated power consumption), resulting in more than doubling their battery lifetime. Strategically, the project will strengthen the research-based professional educations and practices within electronics to meet the current and future needs of experts with the new knowledge and the innovation that the project brings. The ambition is to create a new generation of IoT devices that use the antenna not only for radiating electromagnetic waves, but also has a secondary functionality of actively sensing multiple physical parameters (without using sensor ICs and a microprocessor).

Multiparameter Active Antenna Sensor

I forhold til krav om en miljøvennlig og kostnadseffektiv kystlogistikk er dagens situasjon preget av en aldrende og forurensende kystfrakteflåte. På enkelte markedssegment har vi sett en markedsdrevet utvikling som har ført til flåtefornying. Eksempler p å dette er brønnbåter til havbruksnæringen og kysttankfart ? i begge tilfelle er det vareeiernes konsolidering til stordrift som har drevet utviklingen (færre lakseslakteri, færre depot, større kontrakter). 

Store deler av kystfraktvirksomheten har imidl ertid ikke opplevd slike impulser til flåtefornying, og dette har medført stagnasjon for en aldrende, uøkonomisk og forurensende kystfrakteflåte. Denne flåten betjener varestrømmer preget av mange små havner, uensartet (fragmentert) last, manglende retnin gsbalanse (fraktbehov bare en veg) og markedsimperfeksjon- dvs. at dagens fraktrater og flåtens dårlige utnyttelsesgrad ikke gir økonomisk grunnlag for en markedsdrevet flåtefornying. Dagens mønster er preget av en varestrøm sørover langs kysten dominert av norske råvarer og industrivarer, mens nordgående strøm er dominert av forbruksvare og industrivare som distribueres landeveis fra Gøteborg/Østlandet. 

Derfor er det nødvendig å analysere og modellere varestrømmer og fraktkombinasjoner som kan gi grunn lag for nye fartøytyper og havneløsninger som gir optimale kombinasjonsmuligheter av last begge veger og effektive kombinasjoner av sjø- og landtransport, som til sammen kan gi økonomisk grunnlag for flåtefornying. 

I prosjektet vil det gjennomføres kons eptutvikling av nye skip, bl.a. kombinasjonsskip, som kan ta returlast som en naturlig måte å øke utnyttelsesgrad, og det blir en norsk hovedutfordring å endre logistikkmønsteret for forbruks- og industrivare fra kontinentet til Norge.

Fornyelsesprogram for kysttransport

Fraktefartøyenes Rederiforening representerer storparten av fraktefartøyene som opererer langs Norskekysten med totalt 232 fartøyer. Flåten begynner å bli gammel med en snittalder på ca 30 år. Fraktefartøyene møter stadig nye utfordringer som økt konkurra nse fra veitransport og ulike typer avgifter, senest NOx avgiften for innenriks skipsfart som rammer dette flåtesegmentet spesielt hardt.

For å møte dagens og fremtidens utfordringer er det nødvendig med fornyelse av flåten, med kostnadseffektive og milj øvennlige skip som kan tilpasses et fremtidsrettet logistikksystem.

Eksempel på problemstillinger i et hovedprosjekt vil være:

Energieffektive skip
Optimering av skrogutforming og propulsjon for lavest mulig energiforbruk ved fremdrift (vil gi generell reduksjon av utslipp, også CO2 i forhold til dagens skip) 

Miljøvennlige skip
Minimale utslipp til luft og vann. Utstrakt bruk av naturgass (LNG). Naturgass gir minimale utslipp av: NOx, SOx, partikler samt en ytterligere reduksjon av CO2. Ren gassdrift gir ingen skadelige utslipp til vann.

Reduserte byggekostnader
Enkel design med enkel grunnutrusting. 

Lavere transportkostnader
Økt nyttelast. Fleksibilitet med hensyn til et fremtidsrettet logistikksystem
