Preparatory Phase for the Einstein Telescope Gravitational Wave Observatory
Einstein Telescope (ET) will be the European Third-Generation (3G) Gravitational Wave (GW) Observatory, designed to observe the Universe by covering the whole spectrum observable f...
Forensic Intelligence and Remote Sensing Technologies for nature conservation
Biodiversity is under severe pressure due to a myriad of problems, including but not limited to habitat fragmentation, overexploitation, climate change, pollution, invasive species...
Next-generation vaccines and diagnostics to prevent livestock reproductive diseases of worldwide impact
Endemic and zoonotic infectious reproductive diseases of livestock cause major economic losses globally and threaten both food security and public health.REPRODIVAC will develop ne...
Coded Secrets: Artistic Interventions Hidden in the Digital Fabric
What lies beneath the surface of computational artworks?Online pieces have ‘roots’ that extend much deeper than the flat screen monitors on which we view them – they may even be di...
Delivering a useable method for mapping groups in attitude networks by developing a robust prototype, development community, and exploitation model to maximize the social value of the breakthrough
Our ERC project developed a mathematical method to construct bipartite graphs directly from surveys of attitudes and opinions, providing a network representation of opinion-based g...
Evolution of institutional diversity in a changing world: Finding solutions in resilient agricultural systems
Institutional diversity is considered as important as biological diversity for our long-term survival.Broadly defined as the variety of rules, norms, and strategies that societies...
Reducing Iron Oxides without Carbon by using Hydrogen-Plasma
With 1.8 billion tons produced per year, steel is the dominant metallic material. It can be recycled by melting scrap, a resource satisfying at most 30% of the demand.Hence, fresh...
The Age of Civil Wars in Europe, c. 1914-1949
In the first half of the twentieth century, Europe experienced an unparalleled number of civil wars resulting in millions of deaths.Civil war, as much as inter-state war, was a def...
Fashioning Power through South-South Interaction: Re-thinking Creativity, Authenticity, Cultural Mediation and Consumer Agency along China-Africa Fashion Value Chains
The project investigates how, in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinas global power is manifested, negotiated and resisted in peoples daily life in a South-South sett...
Amorphous topological matter: Predicting new phases with enhanced properties in a vast pool of amorphous materials
Discovering new phases of matter in materials with superior properties is a central goal of condensed matter physics.Topological phases are a remarkable example: their robust and u...
NEGOTIATING SOVEREIGNTY: CHALLENGES OF SECULARISM AND NATION BUILDING IN CENTRAL EASTERN EUROPE SINCE 1780
Why does the modern state, with its claim to sovereignty, care so much about secularization and (re)sacralization?In order to address this question, the project examines the (pre)h...
Universal processing route for high-performance nanostructured yarns
Yarns are a natural architecture to assemble small building blocks into macroscopic objects and are thus woven in our history, from fabrics of natural fibres in ancient times to fi...
Stem and niche cell dynamics in normal and pathological conditions
Coherent tissue growth and repair require an interplay between stem cells and their local and systemic environment. The dynamics of this process remains poorly defined particularly...
Solving the multi-scale problem in materials mechanics: a pathway to chemical design
Based on recent conceptual and theoretical advances in the lattice dynamics of real solids, I aim to develop a new generation of computational methods that will revolutionize the w...
Federalism and Border Management in Greek Antiquity
Federation for Peace in Ancient Greece” is the title of a well-known article published by J.A.O. Larsen in 1944 (Classical Philology 39: 145-62).As the world was being ravaged by w...
Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Synthesis
The rapid development of complex and safety-critical systems requires reliable verification methods. In automated synthesis, we transform a specification into a correct-by-construc...
Nanoscale Isotropic 3D Resolution using Omni-view Structured Light Sheet Microscopy
After spectacular advances in microscopy, a next leap is needed to enable biological studies at the deep sub-cellular scale of cells in their native multi-cellular tissue environme...
Dissecting a stepwise principle of cellular diversification to instruct regeneration in the enteric nervous system
The enteric nervous system (ENS) contains a large range of neural subtypes that collectively controls essential gut functions independently of the central nervous system (CNS). Alt...
Twisted Ions – A novel tool for quantum science
One of the most fundamental principles of quantum physics, the so-called wave-particle dualism of quantum objects, is at the heart of a recently developed research field: twisted m...
Representative, Reliable and Reproducible in vitro Models of the Human Testes
Western society is on the brink of a fertility crisis, whereby human sperm counts have dropped by 59% over the past four decades and are projected to reach zero by 2045.Treatments...
