Unification of Fundamental Forces and Applications (UNIFY)

Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

The UNIFY exchange programme has two main scientific objectives. One objective is to gain new insights on the quantum mechanical description of the gravitational interaction, an outstanding fundamental problem in theoretical physics, of crucial importance to our understanding of the Universe and of the forces between its basic constituents. The other main objective is to explore recent development ...

Training and Mobility Network for the Economic Analysis of Conflict (TAMNEAC)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,

Mass violent conflict affects millions of individuals and households in developing countries. The EU attempts to advance a coordinated approach to end these conflicts and to mitigate the negative effects for survivors. Nevertheless, a clear challenge is that 40% of violent conflicts reignite within 10 years of ending. As outlined in the Commission’s “Instrument for Stability Strategy Paper 2007-20 ...

From Neuron to Behavior (Neuro-behavior)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,

In the present proposal I will describe a novel research agenda for understanding the neural basis of mammalian behavior. Three central problems prevent current research from explaining mammalian behavior in terms of neural mechanisms. First, there is a preponderance of correlative evidence in systems neuroscience. Second there is generally insufficient information about the individual neuron(s) ...

Relevance of accounting information for corporate debt financing (CUBE)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,

"From 2005 the EU requires publicly listed companies to prepare financial statements based on IFRS instead of national accounting rules (EC No. 1606/2002). Regulators have suggested that harmonisation of financial reporting should bring benefits to companies and their capital providers which would in turn improve the efficiency of the European financial markets significantly. However, it is possib ...

RELIGARE starts from the idea of equality and how it is challenged by the increasing diversity of religions and other convictions that are transforming Europe. The EU’s expansion, together with important migration fluxes, partly explains this increasing diversity. A growing number of citizens, many of whom are new EU citizens, now hold beliefs and values different from the majority. One observes t ...

Gene- Environment Interactions in Heart Development (CHeartED)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,

Cardiovascular malformation (CVM) is the commonest cause of childhood death in developed countries. In the EU there are 51,000 new cases each year and two million affected individuals. Yet, despite intensive research, the cause of 80% of CVM remains elusive. The mission of CHeartED is to identify genetic and environmental pathways that can be modified with the goal of reducing preventable CVM inci ...

"Cell therapy can be defined as the transplantation of living cells for the treatment of medical disorders. Three different principles underlie the increasing interest in cell therapy. 1. Transplanted cells used as an “active drug” 2. Transplanted cells used to replace damaged and degenerated tissue. 3. Cells used as a drug delivery vehicle. Promising results have been obtained in pre-clinical and ...

Correlated Noise Errors in Quantum Information Processing (CORNER)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2012,

Any form of manipulation of quantum information (QI), be it storage or transfer, may be represented as a quantum channel, i.e. a map transforming the input state of the sender into the receiver's output state. Given the extreme sensitivity of QI to noise, it is crucial to study the impact of incoherent effects on QI processing and communication if technological applications are to become a reality ...

Self-Configuring ENvironment-aware Intelligent aCoustic sensing (SCENIC)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2011,

Advanced sound processing applications, particularly those based on array processing, are critically sensitive to the environment's acoustic response because their design does not account for the complex propagation phenomena that cause it. Reverberations are usually seen as a liability to take countermeasures against, while nature teaches us that the information provided by the acoustic interacti ...

"Thin film solar cells, based on non-toxic, abundant and air-stable silicon (Si) will probably, based on forecasts, dominate the photovoltaic market in the future and thus replace bulk Si from its leading position. This prognosis is fostered by the strong cost reduction potential due to highly effective materials utilization at low energy consumption. However, thin film Si suffers from inherently ...

The quantum technologies that are coming to fruition are narrow, isolated niches separated by vast domains of technologies still ruled by classical physics. The formidable challenge of creating a broad quantum-technological base calls for bridging and integrating these niches. In this spirit, we wish to capitalize on the remarkable analogies that have recently emerged between two previously unrela ...
