Past Continental Climate Change: Temperatures from marine and lacustrine archives (PACEMAKER)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Global climate change is a topic of major interest as it has a large impact on human societies. Computer models used to predict directions of future climate change are validated by means of retrospective analysis of past climate changes. Detailed reconstruction of past climates, especially temperature, is, therefore, of considerable importance. Several tools (proxies) are available to reconstruct ...

Policy Incentives for the Creation of Knowledge: Methods and Evidence (PICK-ME)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
The ongoing global economic crisis is seriously challenging advanced capitalistic economies. In the last year the GDP has fallen at dramatic rates, creating the conditions for the upsurge of unemployment, above all in areas characterized by specialization in mature industries. According to recent growth models and empirical evidence, innovation and knowledge creation represent the main factors abl ...

Cenozoic evolution of the Indonesian Throughflow and the origins of Indo-Pacific marine biodiversity: Mapping the biotic response to environmental change (THROUGHFLOW)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
A critical agenda for earth and life sciences is to determine how diverse tropical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs will respond to global environmental change. This will require long-term environmental and ecological data that rarely exist for living coral reefs. In contrast, the fossil record provides abundant examples that can be mined to predict future outcomes. The THROUGHFLOW network wi ...

Natural and Artificially Influenced Swash-Groundwater Interactions Experiments (NATARISE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"Effective management of coastal erosion is a major stakes for the European Union. In a context of global warming and overpopulation of the coasts, the overall purpose of this project is to improve understanding of the hydrosedimentary processes affecting the instantaneous land-sea interface (the beachface), at the origin of an erosion or accretion of a coast. The objectives are: (1) To study the ...

"The Contribution of Public and Private Services to European Growth and Welfare, and the Role of Public-Private Innovation Networks" (SERVPPIN)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,
"Services are the dominant economic sector in modern economies and are a crucial component of competitiveness strategy and welfare in Europe. In the past public and private services have been studied in isolation of one another. At best this is misleading. At worst it produces a false understanding of the drivers, dynamics, and impact of services. The ServPPIN project addresses this problem by ana ...
