Climate-smart reforestation through the lens of remote sensing and microclimate sensors
To address the escalating threat of climate change, there is an urgent need to develop smart strategies that bolster climate resilience. Within the context of climate change mitiga...
Ecological memory and extinction debt: soil biota responses to land use legacies
The impact of land use change on various organisms, including plants, birds, mammals, amphibians, and arthropods, leading to local extinction debt, has been widely recognized. With...
Universality Classes for Strongly Correlated Random Fields
The objective of this project is to develop the mathematical theory of critical phenomena. In spite of recent breakthroughs, second-order phase transitions have remained largely el...
Harnessing bacteria-driven interfacial dynamics for optimised soil drying
Bacteria abound in the soil, contributing to major global geocycles and plant growth. Bioaugmentation, the stimulation or tuning of this natural microbiome to optimize its function...
Early bilingualism boosts the brain's resilience to dyslexia
Learning to read strongly depends on phonological development that is largely influenced by environmental factors. BIBALANCE will investigate the extent to which the early acquisit...
Feeding the Roman Army, Making the Empire
FRAME capitalises on advances in archaeological science and a critical mass of archaeological material to examine how the Roman Empire’s frontiers in Europe functioned as economic...
Mutations in healthy tissues: a double-edged sword for tissues homeostasis
Healthy tissues become progressively populated of clonally expanded cells that have acquired somatic mutations. Often these mutations modify cancer genes promoting cell plasticity,...
Decoding the Wiring of Integrative Neurocircuits in Metabolic Control
Systemic metabolism has to be constantly adjusted to the internal variance in nutrient availability. Therefore, the brain integrates multiple signals related to energy balance and...
The Politics of the Latent Educational Cleavage
One of the most important changes of the last 200 years is the massive educational expansion and the related shift from industrial to post-industrial societies in countries around...
Shaping cortical computations via higher-order feedback
Our ability to flexibly adapt to changing environments depends on how we perceive, prioritize and act on stimuli. This involves actively integrating our current sensory experiences...
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...
