Unravelling the physical basis of morphogenesis in plants (PhyMorph)

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

Morphogenesis is the remarkable process by which a developing organism acquires its shape. While molecular and genetic studies have been highly successful in explaining the cellular basis of development and the role of biochemical gradients in coordinating cell fate, understanding morphogenesis remains a central challenge for both biophysics and developmental biology. Indeed, shape is imposed by s ...

Universities in the Knowledge Economy (UNIKE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

"The research training focuses on the substantive and theoretical challenges posed by universities’ new role in a global knowledge economy, and especially the contrast between developments in Europe and the Asia Pacific rim. In recent years, massive effort has been put into reforming, managing and marketing universities in Europe and elsewhere in the world. The justification is that universities a ...

Physical bottom Up Multiscale Modelling for Automotive PEMFC Innovative performance and Durability optimization (PUMA MIND)

Start date: Dec 17, 2012, End date: Dec 16, 2015,

"Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are complex nonlinear systems. In order to improve their durability, efficiency and to decrease the cost, time of development, design of new diagnostic tools is crucial.Powerful mathematical models of the dynamic behaviour of PEMFCs are necessary for the design and improvement of diagnostic tools. The project PUMA MIND will enhance the understanding of ...

Problems in Algebraic Complexity and Complexity of Algebraic Problems (PACCAP)

Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"The P=NP? problem is widely recognized as one of the most important and challenging open problems in contemporary mathematics and computer science. The general belief is that P differs from NP. Unfortunately, this intuition is still not supported by a proof in spite of 35 years of intensive research. Given the difficulty of this problem, algebraic versions of P=NP? have been proposed. The hope is ...
