The Insect Cochlea Project has the aims to develop new technological improvements for the constitution of grounds for next-generation miniature, super-sensitive acoustic sensors. It will be co-ordinated from the University of Lincoln with a 5 year ERC consolidator grant and will use a multi-disciplinary approach between biology, engineering, physics and mathematics. By using bush-crickets and…
The University of Durham has been awarded a prestigious 5 year ERC consolidator grant to carry out the research project JetDynamics. It will attempt to bridge the gap between mathematics physics and experimental collider physics to develop a new generation of computational tools and methods to study the dynamics of multiple strongly interacting hadronic jets.…
The impacts of deforestation on atmospheric composition and climate are an important factor to the understanding and development of new climate and Earth System models. Funded through the ERC and co-ordinated at the University of Leeds the DECAF project will address these issues. It will exploit and utilise new information from satellite and in-situ observations,…
Co-ordinated by the University of Oxford and funded through the ERC the PROMOFS project is a brand new research project in the field of nanoporous materials engineering. The focus will be on the discovery, characterisation and application of MOFs (metal-organic frameworks); this innovative platform will afford disruptive photonics sensing technology. Over the 5 year research…
The recently launched topDFT project will look at Density Functional Theory (DFT) and develop new theoretical approaches to density-functional methods. Awarded to the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham this 5 year ERC consolidator grant will allow the research to exploit the topology of the electron density, with accurate simulations of molecular and…
DYNAFLUORS is a 5 year research project helped by funding from an ERC consolidator grant and awarded to the University of Edinburgh. The research will endeavour to develop the first chemical toolbox for imaging the activity of immune cells in tumours, in real time, thus allowing the response to therapy to be monitored at the…
EPIDEMICSonCHIP is an ERC funded consolidator grant that will run for approximately 5 years and is co-ordinated by the Institute of Science and Technology Vienna (IST Austria). The monitoring of social insects (in this case ants) should allow the researchers to better understand how the collective defence of colonies allows the prevention of epidemics in…
