Philosophy on the Border of Civilizations and Intellectual Endeavours: Towards a Critical Edition of the Metaphysics (Ilahiyyat of Kitab al-Shifa’) of Avicenna (Ibn Sina) (PhiBor)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
For its tremendous impact on subsequent philosophers and theologians, not only in the Islamic, but also in the Christian and Jewish worlds, Avicenna’s metaphysics represents a turning-point in the history of philosophy until modern times. A reliable edition of his most important metaphysical work, the Ilahiyyat (Divine Things) of the Shifa’ (The Cure), is therefore a major desideratum. Avicenna (I ...

Development of a Research Environment for Advanced Modelling of Soft matter (DREAMS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
"DREAMS aims at developing an integrated theoretical-computational approach for the efficient description of linear and non-linear spectroscopies of several classes of organic probes, dispersed in polymeric matrices that range in complexity from simple polyolefins all the way to large biomolecules (proteins and polysaccharides).In order to reach this objective, developments along the following lin ...

"The NGF system and its interplay with endocannabinoid signalling, from peripheral sensory terminals to the brain: new targets for the development of next generation drugs for neuropathic pain" (PAINCAGE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,
"So far, there are no effective treatments for neuropathic pain (NP), and current treatments suffer from serious unwanted side effects.The NGF ligand-receptor system has recently emerged as a novel target for NP of great therapeutic potential, a master regulator, controlling both neuropathic and inflammatory components. Besides being a multi-component system, it also modulates the endocannabinoid ...

Nonequilibrium quantum fluctuations in superconducting devices (NEQUFLUX)
Start date: Mar 3, 2014, End date: Mar 2, 2016,
In the last fifteen years we have witnessed to an impetuous advancement in the theory of nonequilibrium fluctuations, triggered by the discovery of a number of relations, collectively known as Fluctuation Theorems, which link the full nonlinear response to equilibrium thermodynamic properties. Experimental investigations of these exact relations in the quantum regime is yet in its infancy, while w ...

The European correspondence to Jacob Burckhardt (EUROCORR)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,
The aim of this project is to map and publish in a critical edition the extensive correspondence of European intellectuals with the Swiss cultural historian Jacob Burckhardt over a period of more than half a century, from 1842 to 1897. This correspondence documents a crucial period in European history and culture, one which witnessed the emergence of art history as a separate discipline; serious p ...

Complexity Research Initiative for Systemic InstabilitieS (CRISIS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
In his opening address to the ECB Central Banking Conference, Jean-Claude Trichet said that "in the face of the crisis, we felt abandoned by conventional tools", and went on to call for the development of complex systems based approaches to augment existing ways of understanding the economy. This project proposes to address this need by creating an integrated set of complex systems-based ICT too ...
