Project Funding No: GA 101079148
The European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science (E-RIHS) was designed as a pan-European distributed infrastructure with the vision of replacing the traditional science-for-art approach to conservation through the new widely interdisciplinary sector of Heritage Science (HS) to improve the understanding and sustainable preservation of cultural heritage. E-RIHS was admitted in the 2016 ESFRI Roadmap and is now preparing its step 2 application to take the legal form of an ERIC. The E-RIHS Implementation Phase (E-RIHS IP) consortium brings together representatives of the national nodes of the countries that expressed their willingness to support the establishment of the ERIC and one permanent observer. It aims at enabling the E-RIHS implementation phase and preparing the operation of E-RIHS ERIC, also in support of its positioning as the reference RI for the HS domain at the EU and global level. The objectives and methodology underpinning the E-RIHS IP work plan target and intend to overcome the bottlenecks highlighted in the recommendations of the 2020 ESFRI monitoring report, the EC High Level Expert Group report (2020) and the ERIC step 1 assessment (2021). Coordinated actions are dedicated to: (i) implement the E-RIHS governance structure and finalise its distributed architecture; (ii) support the E-RIHS management with strategies and related implementation plans regarding HR, procurement, risk management and quality system; (iii) maintain and build upon the established E-RIHS excellence in user access and foster FAIR open access with the design of the DIGILAB platform; (iv) strengthen international cooperation, cultivate synergies and consolidate the HS community around E-RIHS, while establishing E-RIHS in the landscape of EU RIs and global initiatives; (v) secure the ERIC sustainability and unlock its socioeconomic impact potential by providing E-RIHS with an updated business plan and a marketing strategy tailored for its new lifecycle phase.

The main objective of the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science Implementation Phase (E-RIHS IP) project is to enable E-RIHS ERIC (E-RIHS) to start its operation phase and position itself as a reference for excellent research for the wide interdisciplinary community of heritage science.
The specific objectives of E-RIHS IP are thus meant to fill critical gaps and tackle strategic challenges in order to enhance the E-RIHS performance with respect to the benchmarks used by the evaluators. In other words, by stocktaking the recommendations of the reports, E-RIHS IP works towards raising the evaluation grades from medium to high and from high to very high at the time of the next assessment. Having the recommendation of the reports in mind, the E-RIHS IP
project has been tuned to specific, realistic and achievable objectives. They are listed below together with the coordination and support activities to achieve their successful implementation:
(1) to implement the governance structure of E-RIHS as detailed in the E-RIHS Statutes and Scientific and Technical Description;
(2) to finalise the distributed architecture of E-RIHS by providing efficient coordinated operations between the Central Hub and the distributed facilities of the National Nodes; and by fostering the establishment of appropriate legal forms at national level also preparing the formal interaction of the National Nodes with the future ERIC;
3) to provide E-RIHS with a thorough risk inventory and mitigation plan considering the highlighted critical aspects, such as governance and organisation, funding and technical development;
(4) to maintain and build upon the established E-RIHS excellence in user access by providing an attractive portfolio of services while preparing the plan for implementing the DIGILAB platform;
(5) to foster E-RIHS readiness for EOSC and FAIR data, while implementing the DIGILAB platform;
(6) to strengthen the E-RIHS international cooperation by consolidating the global presence of E-RIHS;
(7) to cultivate synergies across the ESFRI landscape and with other EU and international initiatives by developing joint strategies to be periodically assessed;
(8) to consolidate the HS community around E-RIHS as a recognized hub of research excellence and innovation incubator by engaging with new communities and stakeholders;
(9) to secure financial viability through harmonised membership fees and in-kind contribution accounting while enlarging the E-RIHS membership;
(10) to unlock the socioeconomic potential of E-RIHS by developing sound measurable strategies for engaging stakeholders and enhancing public awareness; and by exploiting the innovation capacity of the RI for cultural and creative industries;
(11) to provide E-RIHS with a business plan tailored for its new lifecycle phase, also including considerations on alternative funding mechanisms.

Appointment Duration
9-12 months (with possibility of extension)Metamaterials provide control over the material properties though engineering of their subwavelength elementary units, the meta-atoms. An electromagnetic wave impinging on a metamaterial induces the excitation of local currents whose distribution is defined by the meta-atoms architecture and the details of the electromagnetic wave, i.e., frequency, incidence angle and polarization, producing a far-field response that can be perceived much like a material property. Metamaterials have opened up the path to novel electromagnetic features, providing the most known, negative effective permeability and negative refractive index (usually achievable by combining negative effective permittivity and permeability) and the more recently investigated, sustaining toroidal excitations and topological photonic states. The enhanced electromagnetic wave manipulation enabled by metamaterial–based structures has led to fascinating applications which among else include ultrathin electromagnetic sheets for wavefront shaping, shielding and polarization control, software-defined wave control, graphene-based ultrafast modulators, topologically protected unidirectional propagation, energy harvesting. In this talk we will review basic principles of emerging metamaterial induced exotic phenomena and discuss interesting implementations in technologically relevant spectral areas, i.e., microwaves, THz and the near-IR / mid-IR.
HellasQCI project aims to deploy advanced National QCI systems and networks. Its architecture comprises of three metropolitan test- sites located at major cities of Greece namely: ΗellasQCI-Central(Athens), HellasQCI-North(Thessaloniki) and HellasQCI-South (Heraklion-Crete). Each test-site is divided into Governmental and Industrial testbeds, which allow the project to investigate the field- deployment of QKD technologies in a plethora of realistic scenarios and use cases addressing National Security, Public Health, Critical Infrastructure and ICT sector. An additional Educational testbed will allow the development of new quantum technologies, provide a sandpit for SME innovation, and offer Greece a futureproof extension towards Quantum Internet. It will also serve as a comprehensive training environment for technical, research staff and end users. For inter-test-site links and international connection with other EuroQCI members, HellasQCI will exploit three Greek observatories, which constitute a national asset and have been selected by ESA to be upgraded as Optical Ground Stations with QKD capabilities. The aim of HellasQCI is also to create a community from all interested national stakeholders, gather expertise and share knowhow on the application of quantum technologies. The HellasQCI consortium involves key research institutes and universities of Greece, which with unique expertise that are able to address the needs for an operational HellasQCI infrastructure. Governmental authorities including the Ministry of Digital Governance, the Hellenic Police, the Army and the National Intelligence Agency together with industrial partners, and SMEs can ensure the sustainability of HellasQCI. HellasQCI plans to cooperate with other EU Member States in order to boost Europe's scientific and technological capabilities in cybersecurity and quantum technologies, and to this end, it has already made partnerships with AT, LU, IE, ML, BG, PL, CY.
