Synergistic Catalysis: a new tool for Cycloaddition Reactions – CycloSyn
The first objective was to study the reactivity of free oxyallylcations, formed in situ from a-tosyloxyketones, towards numerous 1,3-heterodipoles. A more ambitious task consists in investigating the behaviour of transition-metal stabilized oxy- and azaallyl cations. Using this strategy, the diatere
Chiral Lewis Bases – Pivotal Species for Asymmetric FLP- and Lewis Acid-Catalysis – CLABcat
Despite the long-standing and still spectacular achievements of transition metals as catalysts, they exhibit some drawbacks whose importance could grow in the next decades: 1) transition metals are expensive materials; 2) They are an issue in the pharmaceutical industry because of their toxicity —wi
Ecclesiastical Organisation and Christian Topography of the Lower Danube during Late Antiquity (3rd-8th Centuries AD) – DANUBIUS
The main objective of the DANUBIUS project is to offer the first comprehensive historical and archaeological synthesis on the Christianisation of the Danubian world in more than a century. Since it would be impossible to study the whole Danube in the time allowed by a single JCJC project, it was dec
Working in the margin? Collaborative spaces as nodes of a new mobility system outside metropolis – PERI_WORK
The project takes as its starting point the observation of an increasing spinning-off of collaborative workspaces outside metropolitan centers, in parallel with the digitalization of society. This phenomenon is part of more global societal transformation trends that concern ways of working and organ
Weak-interaction studies with 32Ar decay – WISArD
The weak interaction is described today by two contributions, vector and axial-vector. Two other contributions, scalar and tensorial, are allowed by theory, but are not necessary to describe the observation. Limits are then given for these «exotic« contributions. The goal of this project is to impro
demographics of planets close to their birth place & their occurrence in the disk and the bar of our Galaxy. – COLD-WORLDS
The objectives of the project are to answer the following questions: 1/ What is the mass distribution of cold planets up to ~1 Earth mass at the ice line where most planets form? 2/ What is the spatial distribution and abundance of cold planets towards the centre of our Galaxy? 3/ How can we rout
Social Transformation in South African Science and Innovation – STIS
This project investigates the integration of excluded groups into social collectives, with an empirical focus on the racial transformation of the South African science system. Since the end of apartheid, South Africa has been in the process of a radical transformation away from a society completel
Local Governance of Forest Resources: Development, Environment and Political Economy in Nepal – GoLFor-DEEPN
GoLFor-DEEPN aims at evaluating the effects of forest management decentralization in Nepal on (i) forest cover, (ii) collective action at local level and (iii) political economy at the municipality level. After decades of deforestation and forest degradation, tree cover slightly improved over the la
Ecological and metabolic strategies of specialist bacteria mediating macroalgae breakdown – ALGAVOR
In coastal regions, seaweed biomass turnover influences ecosystem functions both at local and global scales. It largely relies on specialized bacteria able to breakdown intact algal tissues and release degradation products in the water column. The ALGAVOR project explores the ecological and metaboli
Automated Hardware Malware Analysis – AHMA
Our objectives are to extend the usage of side-channel information to provide further insights into the hardware behavior when malware is executed. Our approach is to (1) find and measure suitable additional side-channel sources on IoT devices, in combination with an analysis framework consisting o
