Ve-Wa:Vegetation effects on water flow and mixing in high-latitude ecosystems–Capability of headwater catchments to mediate potential climate change (VeWa)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

"Our ability to predict consequences of climate change on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water resources in high-latitude uplands is a formidable challenge. These regions are highly sensitive to climate induced changes as small differences in temperature determine the status of frozen ground, the state of precipitation, and the magnitude and timing of snow accumulation an ...

Investors' expectations: Measuring their nature and effect (InvExpectations)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

The funded research investigates the role of expectations in financial decisions by asking two separate empirical questions. First, what systematic patterns appear in the expectations that the investor holds about relevant random variables? Second, can we establish that her expectations play a causal role for choices? The main tool in addressing these questions is the collection of data from labo ...

European Smart Mobility Resource Manager (MyWay)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

For many decades, urban planning and transport evolved around the private car, which has resulted in problems such as congestion, noise, pollution, etc. To tackle these adverse impacts and improve the livability of Europe's cities, citizens today can benefit, next to the private vehicle, public transport and non-motorised modes, from a variety of new sustainable and complementary mobility schemes, ...

Modelling platforms for high-power resonant DC hub and power networks with multiple converter systems (Modeling DC)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

This research proposal aims developing modelling tools for designing high-power multi-terminal DC transformers based on resonant topologies. The DC transformers with fault isolation property are expected to play a crucial role in developing DC grids, like the proposed North Sea supergrid. The resonant DC hubs with inherent fault current limitation are proposed as a replacement of traditional AC su ...

Socio-Economics meets Security (SECONOMICS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

"SECONOMICS goal is synthesizing sociological, economic and security science into a usable, concrete, actionable knowledge for policy makers and social planners responsible for citizen's security. The project is driven by industry case studies and will specifically identify security threats in transport (air and urban and super urban metro) and critical infrastructure. The research focus places s ...

Ecological Function and Biodiversity Indicators in European Soils (ECOFINDERS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The strategic goal of EcoFINDERS is to provide the EC with tools to design and implement soil strategies aimed at ensuring sustainable use of soils, including: i) Characterisation of European soil biodiversity; ii) Determination of relations between soil biodiversity, soil functions and ecosystem services; iii) Design of policy-relevant and cost-effective indicators for monitoring soil biodiversit ...

The Many Kinds of Many: Pluralism about Properties (TMKM)

Start date: Oct 3, 2011, End date: Oct 2, 2013,

"In both ordinary and scientific inquiry we often seem to attribute properties to things, or to kinds of things: we say, for example, that grass is green, that the earth is spherical, that humans are animals, and that murder is wrong. We also seem to think that these properties are things in their own right: there is something that it is to be green, or spherical, or an animal, or wrong, and that ...
