GYNODICY: gender-egalitarian fictions of origin in European philosophical culture (1673-1751)
This project aims at producing the first comprehensive study of the philosophical problem of “gynodicy”, i.e., the incompatibility of, on one hand, a rational defence of women as n...
Cultural Heritage Outreach in RomAnce Languages
The Cultural Heritage Outreach in RomAnce Languages programme (CHORAL) is naturally linked to the enlarged European Alliance University UNITA, that brings together the universities...
On Rosalyn Tureck’s Legacy for Bach Performance in the 21st century
J.S. Bach’s musical legacy is astonishingly rich. We have been responding to his music for more than 300-years.The American keyboardist Rosalyn Tureck (1913-2003) devoted more than...
Hydride and hydrogen transfer activity in enzymatic and nonenzymatic systems through the lens of three-component thermodynamics - study of the role of enzymatic microenvironments
The crucial step for selective cleavage and formation of C-H bonds is a concerted transfer of proton (PT) and electron(s) (ET): hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) or hydride transfer...
Simultaneous solar hydrogen and value-added product generation by inexpensive photoelectrodes
The role of solar energy and the need for clean fuels (such as hydrogen) is essential in achieving a net zero future.A sustainable way of green hydrogen generation is photoelectroc...
The role of symbiont diversity in resilience to temperature fluctuations.
Beneficial microbes are essential for many animals and mutualistic interactions must be able to withstand environmental changes such as temperature fluctuations.However, with chang...
The role of social cognition for mental health
Mental health problems affect approximately 12% of children and have dramatic consequences at the individual and societal level. This mental health crisis is rapidly worsening as a...
Labour and Ecology in an International Perspective: Porto Marghera in the Phosphates Archipelago
This research, hosted by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in partnership with the Geneva Graduate Institute, investigates the making and unmaking of Europe’s historical industrial...
Cavity solitons in time-multiplexed resonators
A temporal Kerr cavity soliton (CS) is an optical pulse that propagates undistributed in a low-loss passive resonator. As part of its energy periodically escapes the resonator at e...
Mediterranean Women and Sexual Violence in the Confessional, 1600-1750
'I did not accuse him because I am his enemy, but because I demand justice. He raped me and then said I should have married his nephew Lorenzo to cover this [the pregnancy] up...
The contribution of thalamocortical projections to high cognitive functions (speech processing, working memory and attention) in sighted and unsighted populations
The proposed project aims to investigate the contribution of thalamocortical projections to high cognitive functions such as speechprocessing, working memory and attention in sight...
Justice in Surveillance Systems
In an era of digital transformation, welfare states are incorporating data tools, ranging from basic e-portals to sophisticated AI-driven systems.While potentially improving servic...
Entanglement restoral with fast photonic circuits
The world is currently on the verge of a new technological revolution, rooted on the possibility of harnessing unique properties of quantum mechanics such as entanglement to implem...
Waveguide Raman Spectroscopy for Polar Iron Sensing
The polar oceans are hotspots for carbon cycling and burial.The coastal phytoplankton populations bloom provided by the iron, the main nutrient in polar waters, surging from the su...
Towards an understanding of social media: The effects on health, well-being, and genetic susceptibilities
In 2022, 63% of the world population actively used social media, spending a daily average of 2 hours and 27 minutes on these platforms.Despite its widespread adoption, our understa...
Smart Thermal Metamaterials
The main goal of this proposal, to propose self-adaptive thermal regulation systems that are smart, green, aesthetically pleasing and engineering applicable, is in line with the Re...
Microglia-neuron communication in health and disease
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain, display extensive heterogeneity, and contribute to a wide range of cellular processes in both homeostasis and disease.They pla...
Evolutionary dynamics of pancreatic cancer at single-cell and spatial levels
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer, a disease with a dismal prognosis.PDAC has an especially high tendency of quickly metastasizin...
