From local diversity to transnational institutionalization: The emergence of the European Unified Patent Court – UNIFIED
The UNIFIED project pursues research on a transnational institutional convergence in the context of geographically and legally fragmented judicial practices in Europe. In particular, the project focuses on an empirical case of an emergence of a European institution in a real life, the European Unified Patent Court (UPC) that will be exclusively competent for patent-related legal disputes Europe-wide.
Structure and molecular function of the pseudopilus in type 2 protein secretion pathway – SYNERGY_T2SS
Synergy_T2SS aims to decipher the structure and function or the pseudopilus - the dynamic motor of type II secretion system, and that in three model bacteria.The current models of the secretion mechanism - «piston« and «archimedes' screw« predict different pseudopilus dynamics and interactions with the secreted substrates. We aim to test these prediction using integrative approaches, and to propose a unified and experimentally validated model of type II secretion mechanism.
Ruling on Nature. Animals and the Environment before the Court – RULNAT
ANGLAIS<br />The project focuses on how nature-related issues are brought before law courts; how the environment and animal protection are handled at judicial level by lawyers, activists and the state; how nature is ‘judicialised’ and ‘governed’ through the judiciary in different countries, and how the global debate on acknowledging some kind of rights to nature and animals is implemented in actual litigations.
Phase-space GRANULation in fusion plasmas – GRANUL
The efficiency of future fusion reactors, such as tokamaks, depends on our understanding of turbulent processes, in order to control them. In the core of the 150 million degrees plasma, we expect a new kind of turbulence, characterized by the presence of many sub-structures, which trap charged particules.
Cross-diffusion systems in moving domains – COMODO
This proposal aims at developping appropriate models and efficient accurate numerical methods for the high-performance simulation and the optimization of the fabrication process of thin film solar cells.
Constraining the direct radiative effect of Black and Brown Carbon on climate: an innovative experimental study on their spectral optical properties – B2C
The B2C project aims at spectrally resolve the optical properties of BC and BrC aerosols and their variability in link with the particle formation process and atmospheric aging in order to provide the required parameterizations to climate models so to constrain their global and regional radiative effect.
Cultural policies, local heritage and collaborative approaches in Eastern Insulindia – POPEI-coll
POPEI-coll aims at strengthening the dialogue between cultural policies, science and local heritage. The collaborative research in East Indonesia and East Timor seeks to analyse cultural policy arenas and to compare local and scientific representations of local heritage. They aim to identify various mechanisms for collaborative development, awareness raising on the issue of local heritage, and transfer of know-how.
Safety and preservation of cultural heritage stone masonry buildings after fire events – POSTFIRE
The 2019 Notre Dame de Paris Cathedrale fire highlighted the vulnerability of historic architecture to accidental loads and raised concerns about the residual stability of stone masonry monuments. Ensuring the structural reliability of cultural heritage buildings is essential for their preservation, recovery, and historical-artistic safeguarding. POSTFIRE advances limited past research on Lutetian stone masonry after fire exposure, addressing the complexity posed by material heterogeneity.
