Sources will be primary (published cartularia and matricula), secon...Biophysics and circuit function of a giant cortical glutamatergic synapse
ID692692From1 March 2017to31 August 2022FunderEuropean CommissionA fundamental question in neuroscience is how the biophysical properties of synapses shape higher networkcomputations. The hippocampal mossy fiber synapse, formed between axons of dentate gyrus granule cellsand dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons, is the ideal synapse to address this question. This s...Neolithic Seafaring and Maritime Technologies shaped a New World of Megalithic Societies (4700-3500 cal BC)
ID949424From1 November 2020to31 October 2025FunderEuropean CommissionThe NEOSEA project will investigate Neolithic seafaring and maritime technologies, and their role in shaping a new interconnected world of megalithic societies.

ID787015From1 January 2019to30 September 2024FunderEuropean CommissionResearch on the role played by women as actors and by gender as a cultural category has crucially contributed to historiographical revision of the Enlightenment and its legacy to the modern world. However, the perspective adopted has been national or, if comparative, mostly radial. A leap forward is...The Invisible Women: Nameless and Forgotten Stories of the Rubber Boom (Bolivian Amazonia, 19-20th centuries)
ID101022640From1 December 2021to30 November 2023FunderEuropean CommissionMainly limited to a male gaze, the history of the Rubber Boom in Bolivian Amazonia (1870-1920) seems to be somewhat biased. The sources of the period present us with a hyper-masculinized landscape in the Amazonian jungle, and neglect the numerous women – Creoles, Europeans or Indigenous – involved i...Forensic Architecture: The Media Environments of Conflict
ID682313From1 November 2016to30 April 2022FunderEuropean CommissionForensic Architecture is an emergent field that refers to the presentation of architectural evidence in legal contexts.

The linguistic prehistory of the West Papuan languages.
ID848532From1 September 2020to31 August 2025FunderEuropean CommissionThis project combines urgent documentation of endangered languages in Indonesia with rigorous investiga-tion of a linguistic puzzle that has important implications for our understanding of both Melanesian and Southeast Asian prehistory. Some two dozen Papuan languages, scattered over a 1000km on and...TO DESTROY OR TO PRESERVE? MONUMENTS, LAW AND DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE

MONUMENTS, LAW AND DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE (MELoDYE)When the past is contested, the monuments are the first to be destroyed. Over centuries, the totalitarian regimes removed the monuments they did not agree with. Should the democracies then follow this path?MELoDYE is original...Epistemological Gaps in Cultural Theories of the Soviet East and Democratic West in the 1960s and 1970s

Covering art theory, cultural theory, philosophy, and political philosophy, the research will draw on both key and forgotten works, such as those...Paleoenvironmental Assessment of climate and other STressors on long-term dynamics of waterbird populations.
ID897535From1 September 2021to31 August 2024FunderEuropean CommissionAnthropogenic climate change affects all countries and so societies need to begin adapting to the ongoing impacts of these changes. In addition, different biomes respond in distinctive ways to climatic warming. For instance, like oceans, Arctic lakes are strongly affected by shorter ice-cover period...Mitochondrial efficiency as a mechanism for local adaptation in a changing climate
ID101022401From1 September 2021to31 August 2024FunderEuropean CommissionCoordinatorUNIVERSITY OF GLASGOWThe world is undergoing rapid environmental change, and organisms are growing up in environments very different to those in which they evolved. Predicting how organisms will cope with this unprecedented scale of change is a key priority of biological research. The proposed work will be a significant...Tree generation replacement in a European natural forest – unravelling the role of canopy gaps using a spatially explicit approach
ID703119From1 May 2016to30 April 2018FunderEuropean CommissionThe replacement of successive tree generations is a fundamental process which shapes the structure and dynamics offorest ecosystems and essential ecosystem services. Conditioning this process are the complex relationships between thespatial and temporal patterns of tree death (i.e. gap formation) an...The Middle East Neolithic Transition: Integrated Community Approaches
ID787264From1 October 2018to30 September 2024FunderEuropean CommissionOur world is marked by ‘disruption’, major re-orderings of society through changing circumstances, including abrupt climate change, impacting on social and economic life. What lessons can we learn from the prehistoric past about disruption, and human engagement with it? One of the first global disru...The origin and early development of philosophy in tenth-century al-Andalus: the impact of ill-defined materials and channels of transmission.

ID791948From1 May 2019to30 April 2021FunderEuropean CommissionSIMREC (Simulating Roman Economies) is an inter-disciplinary project that will explore the most hotly debated questions about the Roman economy: was the Roman Imperial trade market equally integrated as nowadays? How important were social networks for structuring this flow of information? It will ad...Reconstructing normative economics on a foundation of mutual advantage
ID670103From1 January 2016to30 June 2021FunderEuropean CommissionEconomics has traditionally assumed that individuals seek to satisfy coherent and asocial preferences, and has used the satisfaction of those preferences as a normative criterion. This ‘neoclassical’ approach has supported a view of the market as an institution in which privately-motivated individua...Breaking of highly energetic waves
