Theories and Models of the Dark Sector: Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Gravity (THEMODS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

Modern cosmology assumes that General Relativity (GR) is the correct description of gravity on large scales. With this assumption and according to current data, the cosmological model needs in addition the existence of a Dark Sector: Dark Matter (DM) and Dark Energy (DE). We know very little about the nature of DM and it is yet to be detected experimentally. The simplest form of DE compatible with ...

Re-engineering the tumor microenvironment to alleviate mechanical stresses and improve chemotherapy (ReEngineeringCancer)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Current chemotherapeutic agents are potent enough to kill cancer cells. Nonetheless, failure of chemotherapies for many cancers (e.g. breast and pancreatic cancers and various sarcomas) is primarily because these agents cannot reach cancer cells in amounts sufficient to cause complete cure. The abnormal microenvironment of these tumors drastically reduces perfusion and results in insufficient deli ...

Security Enhancement of Optical Network Logical Design (SHIELD)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

"Optical networks providing services to users such as companies, governmental institutions, and private citizens, have been expanding at a dramatic rate in recent years in order to support the corresponding explosive growth of bandwidth-rich applications and are considered as one of the critical infrastructures of a country. As in next-generation optical networks the signal will remain in the opt ...

Ark of Inquiry: Inquiry Awards for Youth over Europe (Ark of Inquiry)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

The Ark of Inquiry project aims to raise youth awareness to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) by providing young European citizens (7 to 18-year-olds) with a pool of engaging inquiry activities to improve their inquiry skills, increase their awareness and understanding of conducting ‘real’ science, and prepare them to participate in different roles in the European research and innovation p ...

Moduli of canonically polarized varieties in positive characteristic (ModPosChar)

Start date: Jan 5, 2015, End date: Jan 4, 2017,

The main objective of this project is to study the moduli stack of varieties of general type with a fixed Hilbert polynomial defined over a field of positive characteristic. In characteristic zero it is known that it is a separated Deligne-Mumford stack locally of finite type. Moreover, the extended moduli stack of stable varieties is also proper. I would like to investigate to what extend the sam ...

Assess Inquiry in Science, Technology and Mathematics Education (ASSIST-ME)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

ASSIST-ME is a high level research project with a societal impact that will investigate formative and summative assessment methods to support and to improve inquiry-based approaches in European science, technology and mathematics (STM) education. Based on an analysis of what is known about summative and formative assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes related to key STM competences and an a ...
