Disagreements and Language Interpretation (DALI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

Natural language expressions are supposed to be unambiguous in context. Yet more and more examples of use of expressions that are ambiguous in context, yet felicitous and rhetorically unmarked, are emerging. In my own work, I demonstrated that ambiguity in anaphoric reference is ubiquitous, through the study of disagreements in annotation, that I pioneered in CL. Since then, additional cases of am...

Joint capacity building in biomedical higher education through adopting international academic standards and transferring technology between European and Vietnam universities

Start date: Oct 15, 2016, End date: Oct 14, 2019,

The lack of qualified Human Resources is one of the biggest weaknesses of Vietnamese’s Health Care system: there are only 1,2 medical doctors per 1000 inhabitants, while EU average indicator is 3.3 per 1000 inhabitants. The low number of doctors comes from limited capacity of universities to prepare and train medical professionals, the available staff resources are distributed unequally among spec...

Impacts of Nanoparticles on microphytobenthic Biofilms and consequences on the Carbon cycle (NanoBioCar)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Intertidal and shallow subtidal zones are key areas for biochemical transformations, and particularly they play a crucial zone in the carbon cycle. In soft-bottom areas, most primary production is performed by photosynthetic microorganisms organised in biofilms, and called microphytobenthos. The organic matter they produce is rapidly respired by bacteria or consumed by higher trophic levels. Toget...

"Conflict, Strategies, and Violence: An Actor-based Approach to Violent and Non-Violent Interactions" (CSV)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

"Existing research has tended to equate conflict with violence, lumping all “non-conflict” situations together. This is unfortunate on theoretical and empirical grounds. Definitions of conflict highlight incompatibilities, which may motivate actors to resort to violence, but do not automatically generate violence and can be settled or managed in non-violent ways. Lumping together as “not violence”...
