Center of Excellence for Global Systems Science (COEGSS)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,
Global Systems Science – GSS – is an emerging research field focused on the risks and opportunities involved in global coordination problems. Examples of global systems include the internet, financial markets, intellectual property rights, global energy use and others. Developing evidence and understanding in view of such systems and of related policies is rapidly becoming a vital challenge for mo ...

Size effects in fracture and plasticity (SIZEFFECTS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2012, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
Understanding how materials respond to external mechanical perturbation is a central problem of science and engineering. While for most practical purposes it is useful to idealize the mechanical response of a material as a deterministic function of the externally applied perturbation, disorder and fluctuations are unavoidable, leading to sample-to-sample variations and non-trivial size effects. Th ...

Bringing CItizens, Models and Data together in Participatory, Interactive SociaL EXploratories (CIMPLEX)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
We propose visionary research to develop modeling, computational, and ICT tools needed to predict and influence disease spread and other contagion phenomena in complex social systems. To achieve non-incremental advances we will combine large scale, realistic, data-driven models with participatory data-collection and advanced methods for Big Data analysis. In particular we will go beyond the one-di ...

Controlling domain wall dynamics for functional devices (WALL)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
"WALL is a training network on the topic of domain walls in nanoscale magnetic structures, which will provide the next generation of researchers in this area of advanced technology. Domain walls (DWs) are the interfaces separating magnetic domains, their high speed manipulation in nanostructures will lead to the next generation of new and low power functional devices for computation and communicat ...

Preparedness, Prediction and Prevention of Emerging Zoonotic Viruses with Pandemic Potential using Multidisciplinary Approaches (PREDEMICS)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
The capacity of zoonotic RNA viruses to emerge as major agents of human disease can appear limitless. Current intervention strategies have demonstrated limited success. Rapid, innovative and effective solutions are needed to reduce the apparently accelerating process of zoonotic disease emergence. We will study the following zoonotic viruses with epidemic potential in Europe: influenza virus, hepa ...

Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems (MULTIPLEX)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
Future advancements in ICT domain are closely linked to the understanding about how multi-level complex systems function. Indeed, multi-level dependencies may amplify cascade failures or make more sudden the collapse of the entire system. Recent large-scale blackouts resulting from cascades in the power-grid coupled to the control communication system witness this point very clearly. A better unde ...

Topology driven methods for complex systems (TOPDRIM)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Many complex systems are characterized by multi-level properties that make the study of their dynamics and of their emerging phenomena a daunting task. The huge amount of data available in modern sciences can be expected to support great progress in these studies, even though the nature of the data varies. Given that, it is crucial to extract as much as possible features from data, including quali ...

StudioLab - a new European platform for creative interactions between art and science (STUDIOLAB)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
Inspired by the merging of the artist’s studio with the research lab to create a hybrid creative space, STUDIOLAB proposes the creation of a new European platform for creative interactions between art and science. STUDIOLAB brings together major players in scientific research with centres of excellence in the arts and experimental design and leverages the existence of a new network of “hybrid” spa ...

Enhance environmental awareness through social information technologies (EveryAware)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
There is now overwhelming evidence that the current organisation ofour economies and societies is seriously damaging biologicalecosystems and human living conditions in the very short term, withpotentially catastrophic effects in the long term. The enforcement ofnovel policies may be triggered by a grassroot approach, with a keycontribution from information and communication technologies (ICT).Now ...

Complexity and predictability of epidemics: toward a computational infrastructure for epidemic forecasts (EPIFOR)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
The advantage provided by the increasingly interconnected nature of our world has generated a dangerous by-product: the possibility for rapid worldwide spread of epidemics. The ability to forecast epidemic evolution – as much accurately as we can now do for weather conditions – would be of invaluable help in fighting the emergence or re-emergence of viruses such as SARS, avian influenza, HIV-AIDS, ...

Developing the Framework for an Epidemic Forecast Infrastructure (EPIWORK)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2013,
In recent years a huge flow of quantitative social, demographic and behavioural data is becoming available spurring the quest for innovative technologies that can improve the traditional disease-surveillance systems, providing faster and better localized detection capabilities and resulting in a broad practical impact. Improved ICT techniques and methodologies support the inter-linkage and integra ...

Collective quantum operations for information technologies (COQUIT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
The purpose of this project is to study quantum systems which allow only a partial control by a constrained set of quantum operations. Typical examples are many particle quantum systems like cold atoms in optical lattices or other multi-atom ensembles, which can be manipulated collectively but not individually (e.g. because the spatial resolution of the used devices is not good enough to address s ...

Harnessing ICT-enabled collective social behaviour (ICTeCollective)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
The last decades have seen a tremendous change of society as a whole, driven by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The dynamics of building and strengthening social relationships have evolved through the use of ICT, and new ICT-mediated groups and communities have emerged. Individuals, communities, society, and ICT have become deeply intertwined in a dynamic feedback process. The fu ...
