Gypsum soils occur worldwide and represent natural laboratories of evolution and ecology. The unusual mineral content of gypsum soils is a significant barrier to the growth of most plants, and yet these soils host highly diverse endemic floras that have evolved independently on five continents. Nevertheless, these ecosystems are poorly understood compared to those of other unusual substrates. Little is known about the conservation status of gypsum floras, the potential impact of climate change on them, and their responses to mitigation and restoration. We propose an integrated global study of the ecology and evolution of plant and lichen life on gypsum, including eight gypsum-rich regions from four continents that differ in geological origin, climate, and flora. We will 1) assess the plant and lichen diversity of gypsum; 2) investigate the evolutionary origins and assembly of these floras; 3) evaluate potential adaptive mechanisms on gypsum, the functional structure of gypsum plant and lichen communities, and the processes regulating gypsum ecosystem function; 4) analyse the responses of gypsum communities to global change drivers and explore how gypsum ecosystem restoration/conservation may help mitigate the effects of global change; 5) promote the study of gypsum ecosystems; and 6) communicate the ecological and conservation value of these ecosystems to the public. With the involvement of gypsum experts from 18 academic and non-academic organizations from 11 countries, this project provides an innovative, integrative, and interdisciplinary approach to address key questions in gypsum ecosystem ecology, evolution, and management. The project thus strengthens existing international collaborative networks and consolidates Europe’s leadership in gypsum ecosystem research, including management and conservation plans and the identification of traits for crop improvement on gypsum soils, enhancing its attractiveness as a leading destination for related R&D

MNEMOSYN will develop and optimize techniques to grow large-scale two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, co-integrated with strong spin-orbit coupling materials, graphene and 2D ferroelectrics in high-quality multilayer van der Waals heterostructures. The main objective is to demonstrate a large power reduction for magnetization actuation by spin-orbit-torques (SOT) and by multiferroic proximity effects. The consortium will benefit from state-of-the-art molecular beam epitaxy equipment provided by three different partners to accelerate the study of various selected materials combinations in a concerted fashion. Experimental developments will be supported and guided by simulations combining first-principles calculations with large-scale simulations of SOT figures of merit on properly designed Hamiltonians. The outcomes of the project will consist in establishing the best growth and integration conditions, the corresponding upper limit of SOTs efficiency, and the demonstration of 2D multiferroicity, targeting room-temperature operation and scalable fabrication of memory building blocks. The feasibility of further fab developments will be also ascertained to achieve higher technology readiness levels (TRL).

Agricultural production became very importnat due to increase in world population day by day. All over the World, most of the agrcultural products grow in sub-humid, semi-arid and arid environments, which require irrigation water in addition to the precipitation. For conveyance, distribution and field application, high cost irrigation infrastrucres are required and most of the countries try to increase irrigated area by using governmental financial support.By this way, agriculture is the main user of the water resources taken under control. This percentage is nearly 73 in Turkey. Agricultural water use efficiency inclueding conveyance, distribution and field application is main issue World-wide, also in Turkey. Turkish govermental support to improve agricultural water use efficeny is reached to a very important level, but it is still very low, nearly at % 43 level. According to people dealing with irrigation from the technical point of view, improving agricultural water use efficiency could be achived by; modernsation of irrigation systems based on well prepared system projects, operation of irrigation systems by considering soil-plant-atmosphere-water relationships, water availability, climatic factors and socia ecnomic situation and monitoring irrigated agricultural lands by new technological opportunuties for real time site specific management of agricultural water. Accoridng to literatüre, remote sensing techniques including satellite systems and un-manned air vehicle systems, can provide valuable data and information related to agricultural water management issues. From these point of view, this Project were develoed transitionaly for preperation of training materials to fill an important gap in improving agricultural water management.Within the scope of our project, experts with different areas of expertise will come together to create an information-based irrigation systems module, mobile application and distance education platform.Main goals of this Project are preperation of training docements on;• General country surveys about aricultural water managemen,• Planning and operation of irrigation systems,• Principles of remote sensing,• Using satellite and UAV systems for agricultural water management,• Improving agricultural water use efiiciency• Renovation of the curriculum of agricultural vocational high schools

<< Objectives >>Even the special education teachers have a background in adult education, competencies on homeschooling to parents online are not adequate.- Parents must require digital competencies to collaborate with teachers as well as homeschooling competencies to transform the home into a training environment.- Adult education should be taken an active role and collaborate with special education schools to develop parents required skills for homeschooling students with ASD.<< Implementation >>1) Transnational Meetings2) Multiplier Events3) WP Activities<< Results >>WP-1 will be an innovative methodology that can solve the problems faced by teachers in the digital transformation process.WP-2 will cover homeschooling activities that can be used during distance learning for families. In addition, this output will be a framework program that adult education centers can use.WP-3 The RemAutism platform, on the other hand, will present self-learning opportunities to families, as well as interactive content supporting the Hybrid System.
