Control of meiotic recombination: from Arabidopsis to crops (COMREC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

"Global population stands at 7 billion and is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050. It is anticipated that food production will need to increase by at least 50% to meet the demand arising from this increase in population. This will require a sustained improvement in crop yield. The nature of this challenge is exacerbated by the likely impact of climate change. These factors combine to make Food Se ...

Enhancing prediction of tropical Atlantic climate and its impacts (PREFACE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Tropical Atlantic climate recently experienced pronounced shifts of great socio-economic importance. The oceanic changes were largest in the eastern boundary upwelling systems. African countries bordering the Atlantic strongly depend upon their ocean - societal development, fisheries, and tourism. They were strongly affected by these climatic changes and will face important adaptation challenges a ...

The What-If Machine (WHIM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

In Computational Creativity research, we study how to engineer software which can take on some of the creative responsibility in arts and science projects. There has been much progress towards the creative generation of artefacts of cultural value such as poems, music and paintings. Often, when produced by people, such artefacts embed a fictional idea invented by the creator. For instance, an arti ...
