Zinc-air rechargeable batteries are a promising alternative for sustainable energy storage, thanks to their high energy density and the use of abundant materials with low environmental impact, as well as their safe operation. However, they still have some technological limitations that prevent their current capacity from being completely satisfactory, especially because of the degradation that occurs at the cathode and corrosion of the anode, which ultimately limit both the reversibility and a long battery life. The proposed methodology allows to protect the (electro)catalytic centers. In this way, it is intended to extend its useful life, improving both its behavior in real conditions, and solving the existing problems in the electrodes. Thus, based on this technology, new electrodes will be manufactured that will later be tested in pre-industrial battery prototypes

"There is, a wide recognition across Europe of the need for education transformation, and the transformative potential of ICT integration. At the same time, it is widely perceived that there has been a lack of real systemic change in the integration of ICT in teaching and learning practices. These are some key recommendations ""It is timely to move away from perceiving ICT diffusion and usage as a goal and instead see ICT as an enabler of teaching and learning"". It is not about ICT, but about transformation."" We should move from accessibility to innovative learning through the support of ICT""These are the lessons learned:-Leadership and institutional change for a renewed strategy on learning is needed-We should move towards a new learning paradigm through learner-centred approaches-Digital competences must be seen as core life and employment skills-Professional development of teachers is the key element -the teacher as learner at the centreOffering specific training teachers is one of the key factors to ensure that an education of quality is generally available and effective. It has repeatedly been stated that teachers have a critical role to play in the development of an education of high quality. ""Teacher's competences are seen as critical success factor""The Project consortium designed Professional Development Modules and a manual for good practice examples and guidelines on implementation that contributes to the professional development of teachers and to implement the 21st century skills in the classroomThe Entels project courses brings into teaching practice the use the e-portfolio, 1:1 , Ipads/tablets, testing tools for mobile learning in classroom, multimedia learning objects, geo-linked learning trails, learner generated materials, entrepreneurial education and the use of participatory approaches and ICT-based methodologies.The aim of the project is to bring together practitioners and policy makers from across Europe to determine how to develop effective teacher training (including initial teacher training), the key question is ""how best-to equip teachers with the skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to foster the teaching of 21st century skills to young people"". In that context, participants will have the opportunity to discuss, explore the practicalities with practitioners and develop good examples and guideline on implementation in order to Equip teachers with the specific skills and knowledge.The project results are that teachers participating in the courses will acquire the competences to design Innovative Learning Environments, new and creative ways of implementing the curriculum and basic conditions for the sustainable use of ICT in education. Teachers will be able to analyze and develop innovative pedagogy and assessment approaches and methods to support these diverse individual learning pathways in order to help learners to acquire new skills for new jobs. They have learnt to evaluate their students' key competences and 21st century skills, they are able to use diverse assessment tools: quality standards, e-assessment and e-portfolios. A detailed workplan was set to reach the desired objectives.The collaboration among qualified European partners will make possible implement teachers CPD and disseminate good practices examples and guidelines on experimentation across Europe. The project fits in with the priorities of the Strategy 2020.the Entels courses were piloted and are ready to be delivered now and in the future. A copyright agreement is under way among partners to carry on with the delivery of these 4 module courses ( ICT- Toolkit; Entrepreneurship, Learner -centred approach and Assessment modules) through the CESGA platform, to be delivered in their own context and country and with the possibility of international course collaboration."

NANAQUA emerges at the forefront of addressing the global water crisis, leveraging nanotechnology and nano(functionalized) materials (NMs) for cutting-edge water treatment solutions. In tackling the societal challenge posed by contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), NANAQUA addresses the risks these pollutants, including endocrine-disrupting compounds, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, and pharmaceuticals, pose to freshwater resources and ecosystems. With over 500 European monitoring sites reporting pollutant concentrations harmful to aquatic life, the urgency for effective solutions is clear. NANAQUA's approach transcends current wastewater treatment systems, which inadequately remove CECs, by integrating nanotechnology into (photo)chemical and biological degradation systems. NANAQUA's solution further involves developing smart nanosensors for real-time water quality monitoring and generating insights in toxicity of nanomaterials and CECs. This strategy promises a comprehensive improvement in water purification effectiveness, aligning with the EU's Water Reuse Regulation and supporting sustainable resource management. The project establishes the first European doctoral training network dedicated to NMs integration in water treatment, training 15 professionals through an international, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary research program. This unique combination of training in (bio)chemical water treatment, materials science, (eco-)toxicology, and environmental sustainability assessment is pivotal for becoming experts in this field, granting highly valuable competencies for the job market. Environmentally, NANAQUA's long-term impact includes enhanced water treatment, reducing harmful CECs in aquatic systems, and thus protecting human health and promoting pollution-free habitats. Economically, it aligns with EU regulations, promising reduced costs, energy use, and job growth in the water treatment sector.

Perturbative QCD (pQCD) derived from first principles, is used to predict experimental observations involving large momentum transfer, such as high-energy jet productions in proton-proton collisions, and the strong interaction between the jet and the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) medium created in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Recent experimental observations have shown that stronger energy-loss mechanism is at play for jets with large transverse momentum, which current perturbative approaches failed to describe. Utilizing an incoherent approach, I will derive an improved energy-loss mechanism that can provide accurate description of the nuclear modification at large jet momentum, which can restore the predictive power of pQCD and allow us to extract the transport property of the hot nuclear medium. The theory of pQCD also anticipates a saturation phenomenon, whereby the density of gluons tends to arrive at equilibrium between the splitting and recombination of gluon quantum fluctuations as the momentum fraction becomes smaller. Recent theoretical development have mitigated the negativity and instability problem that appears in next-to-leading order calculations of forward jet productions under the Color Glass Condensate framework that takes into account the gluon saturation phenomenon. I will also develop a numerical program which incorporates this new approach to implement saturation effects in order to provide a reliable tool in search of saturation signal in current proton-nucleus collisions. The electromagnetic (EM) properties of the nucleus is also of great interest in ultra-peripheral collision (UPC) physics, where the EM form-factor of the nucleus under the GTMD prescription provides a 5-dimensional Wigner distribution of the nucleus. I will also construct a framework using GTMD approach and recent UPC experimental data to analyse the different quantum effects that appears as the EM background in a nucleus-nucleus collision.
