During the medieval and modern periods, the use of calligraphy in Arabic script expanded to all languages transcribed in the Arabic alphabet and its variants, giving rise to a large variety of styles, found on multiple objects and monuments throughout Islamicate world. In certain regions far from its historical cradle, and more precisely from the city of Baghdad where the norms for classical calligraphy in Arabic script were defined, the developments of calligraphy clearly stand out from the canon and seem to follow their own rules. These regions correspond to the Iberian Peninsula, the Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, Anatolia, the Balkans, India, South-East Asia and China. They are known as the “frontiers” of the Islamicate world, both because of their distance from the historical centre of the Islamic civilisation and because they correspond to interfaces with other civilisations and linguistic systems. Scattered studies have highlighted some of the calligraphies which emerged and developed in these regions, as well as similarities between these calligraphies. However, the fragmentation of corpora and the lack of textual documentation have, until now, limited larger scale research. In order to understand and document the making and the developments of calligraphy in Arabic script in all these regions, on a longue-durée perspective, the project Calligraphies in Arabic Script at the Frontiers of the Islamicate World (CallFront) aims to assemble corpora and textual or oral documentation related to them thanks to a consortium of specialists in these frontier scripts. CallFront is structured on two complementary axes. First, the development of a digital corpus, based on an ontology adapted to the largest possible variety of styles, which makes research data accessible to all and interconnects widely dispersed corpora. The database is developed with the Open-Source system OMEKA and it is hosted by the TGIR Huma-Num, meeting the requirements of FAIR principles. The second axis of CallFront consists in an in-depth study of praxis, in order to overcome the absence of conventional sources (usually treatises about calligraphy or mentions in literary and administrative texts). This study of praxis is based on an experimental methodology built in close collaboration with a team of professional calligraphers, as well as on fieldwork with the few remaining calligraphers trained in these scripts.

The overall vision of the Energy Citizens for Inclusive Decarbonization (ENCLUDE) is to help the EU to fulfill its promise of a just and inclusive decarbonization pathway through sharing and co-creating new knowledge and practices that maximize the number and diversity of citizens who are willing and able to contribute to the energy transition. Motivated by achieving an equitable and sustainable future and the fulfillment of individual potential, ENCLUDE will contribute to the upcoming transformation of energy use by: - Assembling, aligning and adapting disparate energy citizenship concepts for diverse communities of citizens and for different scales of policy making, lowering the barrier for action. - Operationalizing the energy citizenship concept at all scales of policy making for decarbonization. - Catalyzing a chain reaction of decarbonization actions across the EU. ENCLUDE is dedicated not only to the co-creation of new knowledge with stakeholders about the emergence and consolidation of energy citizenship, but also to the uptake of this knowledge to mobilize action for decarbonization, taking into account the interests and struggles of diverse citizen groups, including communities, who are not usually invited or expected to participate in these civic processes. ENCLUDE does this by integrating public engagement throughout the project life cycle rather than at the end of project for dissemination and communication purposes only. The process between knowledge production and implementation includes learning feedback loops between research partners, public authorities, civic organizations and citizens.
