PARABAINO: Massacres, Extreme Violence and Transgression in Wartime (Greek and Roman Antiquity) – Parabaino
The project PARABAINO intends to address massacres and extreme violence through the ancient Greek and Roman experience in a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective (Anthropology, Archaeology, History, History of Art, Classical Philology, and Philosophy).
Theoretical Exploration of the Feasibility, Challenges and Risks of Synthetic Gene Drives – TheoGeneDrive
More is currently known about the molecular biology of synthetic gene drives than their ecological and evolutionary impacts on populations and their ecosystems. This project aims at filling this gap, by using mathematical and computational eco-evolutionary models.
Polymers from biomass as water developable eco-friendly resist for green micro-nanopatterning – Lithogreen
Resists are essential materials for lithography a key step in the fields of micro-nanofabrication... They allow substrate patterning, leading to the fabrication of devices. Resists are currently based on synthetic compounds processed with eventually hazardous chemicals. Recently, concerns were raised regarding the sustainabilit and mitigation of future regulatory restrictions. Furthermore, the forecasted scarcity of oil calls for the anticipation of alternative materials.

Optimising the use of discretionary salt – SalEtMieux
Reducing sodium intake has been identified as an efficient lever to prevent noncommunicable diseases. Key sources of sodium include manufactured food products but also discretionary salt, namely salt added by consumers during the preparation and cooking of meals and at the table when seasoning. However, discretionary salt has been largely neglected so far, in spite of the fact that it deserves to be considered to pursue the sodium intake reduction.
Enhancing the Quality and the Level of Internal Protections of Shell Eggs – EQLIPSE
The EQLIPSE project is positioned in the context of extension of the production period of laying hens. In particular it aims to study the consequences of this extension on the quality and natural defenses of eggs and to identify levers to control internal alterations induced by hen age and egg storage conditions.
Thermal Deformations of Concrete: predictive modeling for tailored design and adaptation – THEDESCO
Modeling strategies that can describe the peculiar thermal response of cement-based materials from the underlying physics will represent an advance in the field by enhancing the confidence on the predictions of the performance and durability of cement-based materials. Also, the knowledge obtained from modelling can be used to advance in the design cement-based materials with tailored thermal properties, following the example of the research on other micro- and mesoporous materials.
Toward Non-Invasive Ultrasound Surgery – TONUS
Only 25% of patients with primary or secondary liver tumors are candidates for curative treatment. Focused ultrasound has the potential to be a new therapeutic option but major innovations are needed. The challenge of the TONUS project is to implement these breakthrough innovations and to demonstrate the feasibility, efficacy and preclinical safety of this new treatment in order to be able to start using it in clinically.
