SoBigData Research Infrastructure (SoBigData)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
One of the most pressing and fascinating challenges scientists face today, is understanding the complexity of our globally interconnected society. The big data arising from the digital breadcrumbs of human activities promise to let us scrutinize the ground truth of individual and collective behaviour at an unprecedented detail and scale. There is an urgent need to harness these opportunities for s ...

Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions (DASI)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,
In the Arabian peninsula, before the advent of Islam some distinctive civilizations flourished with a remarkable cultural level and left behind an important epigraphic and artistic wealth in terms of quality and interest. The history of these cultures is known almost exclusively by epigraphic material. In fact, the majority of texts that the inhabitants of Arabia have left us are the inscriptions ...

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 ...

Solid State Systems for Quantum Information Processing (SOLID)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The SOLID concept is to develop small solid-state hybrid systems capable of performing elementary processing and communication of quantum information. This involves design, fabrication and investigation of combinations of qubits, oscillators, cavities, and transmission lines, creating hybrid devices interfacing different types of qubits for quantum data storage, qubit interconversion, and communic ...

Geometric phases, pumping, and dissipation in quantum devices (GEOMDISS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
The aim of this project is to investigate how dissipation influences the geometric phases and geometric pumping in quantum solid-state devices and to assess the role of geometric manipulations in future ICT applications. Since all realistic solid-state devices suffer from dissipation due to their coupling to uncontrolled environment with many degrees of freedom it is crucial to understand how the ...

Connecting ARchaeology and ARchitecture in Europeana (CARARE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
CARARE is a proposal to establish over 3 years a Best Practice Network and aggregation service and improve the interoperability with Europeana of the digital content available from the archaeology and architectural heritage domain. It will involve heritage organisations, archaeological museums and specialist archives to expand Europeana's network of content providers and make available the rich di ...

Quantum Nanoelectromechanical Systems (QNEMS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
In this project, we will investigate the quantum properties of nanoscale mechanical resonators. Suspended structures will be made of Al, SiN, GaAs, carbon nanotubes, and photonic crystals, covering frequencies in the MHz and GHz range. The vibrations will be excited by electrical means. To overcome the thermal noise, cooling of the low-frequency resonators will be performed. We will use two coolin ...
