Chemoinformatics is a major discipline in theoretical chemistry, using artificial intelligence and data sciences to tackle the current social and innovation challenges. Chemoinformatics concerns the development, creation, organization, storage, dissemination, analysis, visualization and use of chemical information. As a Chemistry discipline, it is rooted into experimental skills, on which are based the essential expertise for data acquisition, processing and modelling, to solve chemical problems and innovate in chemistry with the help of chemoinformatics techniques.The ChEMoinformaticsplus project describes an EMJM about Chemoinformatics, proposed by a consortium of eight academic sites: the University of Strasbourg (France), the University of Paris (France), the University NOVA of Lisbon (Portugal), the University of Milan (Italy), the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), the University of Bar Ilan (Israel) and the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiyv (Ukraine). The project federates an existing network of double diplomas in Chemoinformatics into a joint master program. Through this proposal, the consortium aims at increasing the number of students in this international program while improving scientific excellence and employability of the graduates. The consortium expects also, from the support of the European Commission, a gain of recognition and visibility for the scientific community in Chemoinformatics. Finally, this will give us the opportunity to restructure the network, enhance specialization of the different partners and increase our capacity to answer to future innovation challenges.

The primary objective of the Latin-american Alliance for Capacity buildiNG in Advanced Physics (LA-CoNGA Physics) proposal is to modernize the educational platform in eight Latin-American higher education institutions (HEI) from the four countries in the Andean region (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela), using high-energy physics (HEP) as a model. The aimed modernization relies strongly on the development of an innovative e-learning platform based on low-cost open-access tools, installing connected instrumentation laboratories, a flexible problem-solving-oriented syllabus structured on modules for a one year master program and on the strengthening of cross-institutional relations among the target HEI's.We propose to build capacity in the Andean region by teaching advanced physics during a one year master/specialisation and creating a Virtual Research and Learning Community (VRLC), complemented by training opportunities at 3 leading European research centers, start-up and technology companies in the Andes and Europe, support to career development from the US. HEP is the science of understanding the smallest components of matter and the origin of the universe, looking for answers to key questions of our age. Impressive machines and detectors are needed to achieve the goals of HEP. They are based on breakthrough technologies with the potential to contribute in key areas like healthcare, big data, electronics, open-access collaborative tools, and solid ground for innovative entrepreneurs.In the past, voluntary crowdfunded efforts have been set up to have remote teaching of HEP in some of these HEI from researchers/professors at the beneficiary, i.e. the CEVALE2VE (Centro Virtual de Altos Estudios de Altas Energías in Spanish).This project proposes to create a VRLC by leveraging networks which already exist (CEVALE2VE, LatAm-EU-CERN, RedCLARA) and inexpensive, online teaching technologies. These will be made available to the country HEIs to be used in other fields.

Considering the challenges posed by the impacts of climate change on the small-island atoll nation, it is paramount that its higher education institutions prepare the climate leaders of tomorrow to reach their fullest potential on the national and international stage. Building the capacities of HEIs in Maldives and other small-island nations and countries of Asia-Pacific is critical to addressing the double injustice of climate change, i.e. its geographic and generational injustices. Regarding the former, the geopolitics of climate change are dominated by the interests and objectives of emitters in the Global North, even though it is the countries of the Global South that are hardest hit by the impacts of climate change. In terms of the latter, it is not the generations responsible for greenhouse gas emissions who will pay the price for global warming but the youth of today and tomorrow. CHILDREN has the ability to at least attempt to rectify these wrongs: its overarching aim is to build the capacity of the Maldives National University (MNU) and the Maldivian society at-large to tackle the pressing issue of climate change in the fields of climate diplomacy, leadership and resilience. In order to achieve this aim, CHILDREN pursues the following specific objectives:Improve and reinforce the teaching capacities of partner institutions in climate studiesFoster interdisciplinary academic cooperation and exchanges to strengthen the research capacities of partner institutionsImplement and develop joint activities, events, publications and projects pertaining to climate change diplomacy, leadership and resilience.In order to achieve these objectives, CHILDREN will partner MNU with the University of Liège, University of Paris, and and University of Economics in Bratislava, all of whom bring institutional expertise in various aspects of climate research, teaching, and international cooperation.

The revolution of information technologies has changed the way people relate with others and with themselves. In hyper-modern societies, where privacy fades away, telepresence is here to stay, and online social interactions obey specific rules which are important to understand. The 4th Industrial Revolution is further rubbing out the frontier between physical and digital worlds, forcing workers from all sorts to acquire skills beyond the traditional academic curriculum. Thus, training to address new methodologies and skills that are inextricably linked to digitalization is paramount. As such, the corpus of knowledge needs to be updated and adapted to this new plateau where two group of actors with different background perform: Human Behaviour Background (HBB), ie. mental health care professionals and Exact Sciences and Engineering background (EEB), such as engineers and data scientists. Aiming at tackling the shifting context and the existing gaps in academic and professional training in mental e-Health, this master’s degree sets to provide HBB and EEB professionals with the corpus of knowledge in the areas of human behaviour, mental health, and IT. On the one hand, the accurate management of data processing derived from the quantification of human behaviour. And on the other, the use of IT applications to better understand, research, assess and intervene in human behaviour and mental health. As such, CYBER EMJMD will enrol 96 students, half from each these two areas that will be assigned in teams of two (CYBER-T), to train competences under CYBER transdisciplinary perspective. It is expected that students with HBB gain competences with digital systems and EEB students will learn how to negotiate within human behaviour context, both amplifying, at the same time, skills on their original background. CYBER EMJMD will deliver transdisciplinary outcomes in the form of dissertations and digital applications that will uncover the future of eHealth interventions.
