Projects
The RESCUE project will improve knowledge and understanding in area of this call: Climate and Earth System responses to climate neutrality and net negative emissions by pursuing two overall objectives:
- Quantify the climate and Earth system responses topathways achieving climate neutrality by Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)...
Europe is implementing an AI strategy that seeks to create a research environment characterised by scientific excellence and that is consistent with the fundamental ethical values of its citizens. Part of this strategy foresees the consolidation of ongoing research activities through the creation and maintenance of an AI on-demand Platform that will act as a community...
As our planet heats up due to climate change, outbreaks of zoonotic diseases – diseases that spread from animals to humans – are increasing and expanding to new parts of the world, in particular Europe. Warmer temperatures, more variable rainfall, and the loss of biodiversity influence the survival and spread of zoonotic pathogens, and the reproduction and geographic location of...
Extreme climatic events, environmental degradation and socio-economic inequalities exacerbate the risk of infectious disease epidemics. We lack the evidence-base to understand and predict the impacts of extreme events and landscape changes on disease risk, leaving communities in climate change hotspots vulnerable to increasing health threats. This is in part due to a lack of...
The research group aims at performing research on hierarchical task-based parallel programming models to better exploit the current heterogeneous structure of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and of large distributed computing systems. The approach considers an integrative approach of the programming model with a unified storage platform that will aggregate the...
Our team explores the programming approaches for homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, including the use of accelerators and distributed clusters. We propose the OmpSs programming model, a task-based approach. OmpSs seeks to improve programmability of applications in such environments, without sacrificing performance. We actively participate in the OpenMP standard...
Recent research has shown that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the end result of dynamic and cumulative gene-environment interactions starting early in life. This opens new opportunities for the prediction, prevention, personalized and precise management (P4) of COPD in young adults.
Objectives: (1) to investigate the genomic and...
The ETC CA works to assist the European Environment Agengy by informing and supporting EU policy processes and their developments, especially the EU Adaptation Strategy, by providing relevant information, improving the existing knowledge base and assisting member countries in the areas of climate change impacts, vulnerability, adaptation and Land Use, Land-Use Change and...
GreenSCENT aims at developing a competence framework embracing all the Green Deal focus areas through an iterative, participated,experience and learning-by-doing based design approach. GreenSCENT will develop the GreenComp framework using both experts andresearchers inputs and advise, citizen participation and stakeholder engagement initiatives; then it will test the...
This project provides a unique opportunity to distinguish how genetics and environment impact gene expression and immune response among people of African ancestry, increasing the understanding of variable risk for both communicable and non-communicable diseases. There are currently only a few available single cell reference biological data of tissues from pediatric healthy...
