"Information-processing by individual political actors. The determinants of exposure, attention and action in a comparative perspective" (INFOPOL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"A well-functioning democracy implies that political actors are aware of the real problems in society, their potential solutions, and the associated preferences of citizens. This requires information about the real world. This project examines how individual political actors process information coming out of society. Its goal is to lay bare the patterns whereby exposure to certain types of informa...

PRIMES: Protein interaction machines in oncogenic EGF receptor signalling (PRIMES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

"PRIMES focuses on the role of protein interactions to assemble dynamic molecular machines that receive and process information to coordinate cellular responses. PRIMES investigates the following: (i) How do protein interactions contribute to the generation of biological specificity in signalling? (ii) How do pathogenetic perturbations affect protein interaction networks? (iii) How can we exploit ...

Graphene-enabled on-chip supercontinuum light sources (GRAPHENICS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

To pave the way towards the widespread application of on-chip mid-infrared(MIR)-pumped nonlinear supercontinuum light sources, we want to introduce a paradigm shift in integrated nonlinear optics. Rather than relying on non-standard waveguide designs, large waveguide footprints, bulky MIR pump lasers and/or limited spectral coverage in strategies that could never comply with the requirements for w...

Formulating new Goals for global health, and proposing new Governance for global health that will allow the achievement of these goals (GO4HEALTH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The MDGs succeeded in generating consensus on and mobilising resources towards agreed goals. They were less successful at clarifying responsibilities for achieving them. The MDG target on sharing global health innovation is particularly ambiguous about the allocation of responsibilities.The members of the consortium behind this proposal assume that the new goals for global health will need to be b...
