Belmont Forum and G8 International Opportunities Fund (IOF)
The International Opportunities Fund (IOF) is a joint funding call between the IGFA/Belmont Forum and G8 Heads of Research Councils (G8HORCs) for approximately 20M Euros. The countries involved in this initiative, currently, are Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India (pending)
Between Composition and Reception : the Authority of Medieval Charters – BeCoRe
The scribe laying down a charter did so in the expectation of its (maybe fictive?) reception by a third part, a third part which had to be convinced of the charter's validity, beyond the judicial control of formal authenticity. A charter was also the carrier of the outward expression of validity, an
Bilateral French-German call for proposals on Epigenomics of Common and Age-related Diseases
The ANR is joining the BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung – German ministry for education and research) to launch the French-German bilateral call for proposals on human epigenomics entitled “Epigenomics of Common and Age-related Diseases”. The aim of this joint call for proposals
Biocultural Community Protocols: Justice, biodiversity and Law – BioCulturalis
In recent years, much effort has been done to document and appraise the IPLCs’ role in shaping the ecologies and resource of vast regions of the world, through the management of forests, soil fertility, grasslands, and mountains. These major changes in perspective have contributed in a decisive mann
Bismuth for antimonide based semiconductors – BIOMAN
The antimonide based semiconductors are the material system comprising GaSb, AlSb, InAs and all their related alloys, such as GaInAsSb or AlGaAsSb for example. They have unique properties in terms of band-gap, band-offsets and carrier effective masses, making them the materials of choice for realizi
Bitcoin User Network Analysis and Mining – BITUNAM
Analyzing Bitcoin data is very challenging, due to the size of the data (hundreds of millions of transactions), the pseudonymity of actors, and the general lack of knowledge about who are the actors of the Bitcoin economy and what are their activities. The aim of the project is to solve some of thes
Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience – BrAIN
Artificial intelligence (AI) with recent progress in statistical machine learning (ML) is currently aiming to revolutionise how experimental science is conducted. In physics, chemistry, biology, neuroscience or medicine, data is now the driver of new theoretical insights and new scientific hypothese
CHIST-ERA ERA-NET: Call 2011 Topics
In the Call 2011 (autumn), two new and orthogonal topics are addressed: 1. From Data to New Knowledge From Data to New Knowledge concerns the interdisciplinary computational concepts, methodologies and tools for forming productively useful new knowledge from large mas
CONFLICTS BETWEEN LARGE MARINE PREDATORS AND HUMANS: THE GENESIS AND MANAGEMENT OF PROBLEM INDIVIDUALS – ETHO-PREDATOR
A common misconception is that the emergence of problem animals in populations of large marine predators is the result of external factors that modify the innate, homogeneous behavior of individuals in a given population. Our hypothesis tests the opposite paradigm, which would suggest that, without
Call for French-US Projects in Computational Neuroscience
ANR, NSF (National Science Foundation) and NIH (National Institutes of Health) in the United States launch a 2nd call for French-US research projects in computational neuroscience. This year, Data Sharing projects will also be considered. For this purpose, the program "Collaborative Research in
