Phonological Networks in Language Production and Comprehension. – PhoNet
In a joint effort of French and German scientists specializing, respectively, in speech production and speech comprehension, this project will perform parallel production and comprehension experiments in French and German to improve our understanding of the brain mechanisms of language.
Bivalve shell-based, high-resolution multi-proxy reconstruction of marine primary production – Pecten maximus, Bay of Brest – HIPPO
Despite the outstanding relevance of phytoplankton for the functioning of marine ecosystems and global climate, past primary production dynamics in the coastal zone is still not well characterized (time-series are usually too short and too sparse). It is therefore crucial to develop new tools that can provide reliable, temporally well-constrained, seasonally to inter-annually resolved data on past primary production dynamics in coastal nearshore environments based on shells of bivalve mollusks.
Hybrid supramolecular/plasmonic switches as luminescence sensors and watermarkers – SupraSwitch
One of the current challenges of applied plasmonics is to control the molecular configuration around nanostructures as a promising route to drive their functionality. Our idea is to couple metal nanoparticles with fluorophores and to achieve distance control between them through the use of stimuli-responsive molecules like ß-cyclodextrin/guest and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
Effects of EU soft law across the multilevel system – EfSoLaw
The project studies the effects of EU soft law in order to improve our understanding of the performance of the EU multi-level system. EU law influences governments and has direct consequences for citizens. With the governance turn and increasingly complex decision making in Brussels, law is increasingly taking a “soft” form.
Combination of Vertical and Horizontal GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion Electronics – C-PI-GaN
On the other hand, recent progress in material science have enabled the fabrication of GaN substrates
Data to Knowledge in Agriculture and Biodiversity – D2KAB
D2KAB implements processes to extract and formalize knowledge – semantically rich, interoperable, open – from agronomy/agriculture and biodiversity/ecology data (data to knowledge). The project also studies scientific methods and tools to exploit and disseminate this knowledge in different scenarios in agriculture or biodiversity.
The Politics of Migration and Asylum Crisis in Europe – PACE
gathers researchers from five disciplines (political science, geography, anthropology, sociology, history).
Phase relations and physical properties of iron-oxygen compounds at multimegabar pressures and high temperatures – FEOX
very important for the geosciences (and planetary sciences) as potential phases during the Earth’s accretion [...] modern solid state physics, chemistry, material sciences, and even for in the industry (as elements in
Chemistry for a 3D spintronics – C3DS
is exploratory, at the cross-roads of material science and spintronics. It is high risk/high-gain, promising
