Music, Digitization, Mediation: Towards Interdisciplinary Music Studies (MusDig)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Music is rapidly being transformed by digital technologies; it is in the vanguard of the changes to contemporary cultures and cultural economies afforded by digitization, and is widely seen as a test case of digitization’s effects. Yet the academic music disciplines have not responded with research on these fundamental developments. This project, by combining two innovative interdisciplinary compo ...

EUROPEAN MICROKELVIN COLLABORATION (MICROKELVIN)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"It is an unfortunate truth that the current electronics is facing a brick wall in a decade or so when Moore's law has finally run its course and no further miniaturization is possible. We need something new. Coherent electron circuitry may provide that entirely new alternative. In nanocircuits the electrons can behave coherently over the circuit dimension and thus follow the rules of wave motion ...

Synthesis of Systematic Resources (SYNTHESYS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

SYNTHESYS IA will aid in the evolution of a European resource through the creation an accessible, integrated infrastructure for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. By focusing the JRA on DNA extraction, SYNTHESYS IA will increase the opportunities for Users to exploit a largely untapped facet of the 337 million strong collections. Users will be able to play an active role ...

Persisting Transgenesis (PERSIST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"For many disabling or fatal diseases, there is pre-clinical or clinical evidence of the potential therapeutic efficacy of gene therapy and, yet, the limitations of current gene transfer technologies have prevented success or even caused serious adverse events leading to termination of trials. PERSIST will explore the use of highly innovative gene-modifying and delivery technologies and capitalize ...

"Biodiversity And Climate Change, A Risk Analysis" (BACCARA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"1. The effect of climate change on forest biodiversity will be evaluated through better understanding of the ecological processes that shape species composition and are particularly sensitive to climate conditions. Forest species composition will correspond to the assemblage of tree species and both symbiotic and antagonistic species that can drive tree species composition. Climate conditions wil ...

Co-ordination for optimal decisions in dynamic environments (CODDE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"Everyday actions and social interactions depend on making prompt decisions in a dynamic world. Despite the seeming ease with which we are able to recognise targets for attention and direct our actions, understanding how the brain extracts the key information from the complex input of the natural world to support successful behaviour is one of the greatest open scientific challenges. Meeting this ...

novel DIagnostic Techniques for future particle Accelerators: A Marie Curie Initial Training NETwork (DITANET)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

"The Council of the European Union expressively welcomed the development of a first European roadmap for research infrastructures. The aim of this recently published roadmap was to identify vital new infrastructures that are crucial for the future European research area, in particular for capacity building. These multi-disciplinary projects require substantial investments, forty percent of which ...

Advanced gene therapy tools for treatment of CNS-specific disorders (NEUGENE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,

"Curative therapies still do not exist for most CNS diseases but gene therapy is a promising new approach. We propose that it will be possible to modify brain function and pathophysiology by targeted delivery of specific curative factors to selected populations of brain cells that are affected by disease. This opens the door for effective treatment regimes, which can be tailored to individual pati ...

"New Sources of Natural, Gastric Stable, Food Additives, Colourants and Novel Functional Foods" (COLORSPORE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

"Functional foods provide a buoyant growth sector and the use of carotenoids is the most dynamic not only as colorants but as food additives. One issue with these products is their instability both on the shelf and upon digestion. Recently, gastric-stable bacterial-derived carotenoid preparations have been discovered by members of this consortium and these 2nd generation carotenoid preparations, a ...

"Chivalric Literature in European Renaissance: Political Fictions. Land, enemies, alliances, authority, identity" (CHIVALRICFICTIONS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"Between Boiardo’s Inamoramento de Orlando (1483) and Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata (1575), the tradition of chivalric literature in Italy was the turning point of the inheritance and the subsequent spreading out of a larger European tradition (particularly French). The project aims to point out continuities and fractures in the history of this literary genre, within those chronological coordinates ...

How do post-copulatory male-male and male-female interactions shape the evolution of mating strategies? A test using two species of squid (SQUID-SWITCH)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2010,

"The main objective of the proposed project is to investigate post-copulatory sexual selection in squid, which provide the rare potential for direct assessment under natural conditions of the interactions of male sperm competition strategy and female strategies for sperm storage and usage. Since females of many species of animals mate with multiple males, it is now widely recognized that post-copu ...
