Careful, now! A new socio-structural theory of manipulation and its normative status
Interest in philosophical theories of manipulation has soared in recent years. One reason is the debate about rising populism, polarisation, and political events like the Cambridge...
Non-Equilibrium Diffusion in Complex Environments
Diffusion is at the root of a huge number of microscopic structural and transport processes. During the last century, Einstein and Boltzmann's theories were successful in describin...
Temporary inconvenience or early warning signs? A new take on maternal symptoms in early pregnancy and their consequences.
Pregnancy is a unique time of life where mother and child live in symbiosis. This relationship however induces multiple symptoms for mothers including nausea, vomiting, bleeding, p...
Integrating ecosystem resilience around thresholds in aridity: unveiling nature-based mechanisms to endure abrupt desertification
Resilience (the ability of ecosystems to withstand disturbances without losing its structural or functional properties) is crucial to confront changes imposed by climate change suc...
Understanding the Consequences of Major Health Crises for Education: Learning from the COVID-19 Pandemic (LEARN)
Health crises, natural disasters, and violent conflicts pose global threats to children’s educational development. The frequency and severity of such disruptive events is intensify...
Modelling African Futures: A comparative technography of evidence-based welfare policy in Ghana, Senegal, Kenya and Botswana
Welfare systems rely on extensive knowledge about the population to plan, finance, and expend limited resources in a targeted manner. In view of their often-fragmented national ide...
Novel targeted intervention to prevent brain aneurysm rupture
In the European Union, an estimated 15 million individuals harbour unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs), each at constant risk of rupture and subsequent subarachnoid haemorrhage...
Unraveling mechanisms of drug resistance: APOBEC3A as a genomic and post-transcriptional driver of treatment resistance in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is predicted to become the third leading cause of cancer-related death in Europe. Drug resistance to even the most effective anti-cancer-targeted therapies consti...
An anthropological study of conspiracy theories from marginalized standpoints
Conspiracy theories acquire a particular significance when they are voiced by social actors who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and/or subjected to processes of dispossession.D...
Dynamics underlying learning in complex environments
Learning and adaptation play a central role in interacting with a changing environment, yet the neural substrateunderlying such flexible, goal-directed behaviors has remained elusi...
Rewriting the End of Cuneiform Culture
In the prevailing view, cuneiform script survived until the first century CE because it was the only way to write the most enduring Mesopotamian science, astronomy. This view, howe...
Reconstructing Embodied Musical knowledge At the Keyboard
The fundamental objective of REM@KE is to reconstruct the sound and the function of lost musical instruments and to develop new theoretical, empirical, and practical tools to explo...
Multi-messenger AI-enhanced earthquake early warning
Earthquakes caused nearly one million fatalities in the last two decades and billions of euros of economic loss. In our current state of knowledge, these hazardous events remain un...
Boosting QCD Studies with Bootstrap Tools
In this project we are embarking on the ambitious and exciting journey to advance our understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in 4d, a fundamental theory that describes inter...
Markov Chain Monte Carlo using couplings toward scalable statistical inference
This project develops a statistical toolbox for the approximation of probability distributions that commonly arise in data analysis. The problem of approximating probabilities aris...
Flow-induced morphology modifications in porous multiscale systems
Fluid flows through porous media with morphology modifications are ubiquitous across nature and industry, from the melting and refreezing of snow to the migration of carbon dioxide...
STochastic Algorithm for Robust Guidance Analysis and Trajectory Estimation
We are approaching a new space age, where safety and cost reductions are key factors to achieve a more democratic space access. A crucial component of this new era will be represen...
Statistical mechanics of quantum measurement and quantum entanglement
This proposal will provide five key planks for a new ""statistical mechanics of measurement and entanglement"" that is made necessary by several lines of progress. Historically, th...
ESTimation of the prehistoric population of Eurasia based on a large number of Records
Understanding population trends over the past 12,000 years is crucial for unraveling the complexities of social development. Population size influences social structures, exchange...
Geometric approach to many-body quantum chaos
Quantum chaotic dynamics is in the focus of many current developments in physics, ranging from thermalisation in closed quantum systems to the black hole information puzzle. Recent...
