Projects
ATARI aims to strengthen the expertise and improve the research profile of ECoE, through the collaboration with three research institutes and one SME in the field of atmospheric and solar radiation modelling and remote sensing. The collaborating institutions consist of highly experienced developers of global use models, linked with bodies such as the world meteorological...
The COVID pandemic can be seen as an experiment done with the entirety of humankind (as almost everybody has been or will get infected with SARS-CoV-2). It will therefore have the best coverage over the widest variation possible and is therefore ideally suited to study the effects of infections with SARS-CoV-2 on large quantities of heterogeneous individuals. In our project,...
The deposition of dust and other terrestrial aerosols represents an external supply of nutrients to the ocean surface. This supply helps sustain...
The field of catalytic green hydrogen production, although indispensable for the transition to a renewable future, still suffers from widespread irreproducibility of results that limits its full commercialisation. The largest obstacle lies in the methods widely employed in synthesising the active catalysts, which impede unambiguously identifying the property-structure...
Cancer is one of the leading causes for disease and death in Europe with millions of people being diagnosed or dying because of it. In addition, billions of euros need to be injected into the system to fight these diseases. Cancer tumours are extremely heterogeneous entities with complex subclonal structures that interact with normal cells surrounding them. This complexity...
Today's tremendous interdisciplinary effort towards building a quantum computer promises to tackle problems beyond the reach of any classical computer. Although intermediate-scale quantum computers have been recently demonstrated to exceed the capability of the most powerful supercomputers, it is widely recognized that addressing any real-world problem will require upscaling...
The AIR project responds to Europe's aspiration for leadership and reflects the common essence and concern essential to all Europeans, indeed to everything on the planet, the air we breathe. Air is considered an environmental quality, a meeting space and a space for expression: it does not distinguish between countries or social classes. Air means sustainability, an indicator...
Cold air outbreaks are typical of the mid-latitude climate during the cold season. Their relevance relies on the threat to life caused by the long-lasting periods with abnormally low temperatures, the potential of damage to crops, and the occurrence of high-impact weather events such as heavy snow and low visibility during blizzards.
Previous studies...
To underpin the regular use of integrated economic and health modelling in impact assessments and socio-economic analysis by public authorities, the MARCHES project aims to advance methodological rigour and consistency in accounting for the welfare economic health costs of air pollution and drinking water nitrate, based on systematic reviews of health effects, and by...
ASPECT aims to setup and demonstrate a seamless climate information (SCI) system with a time horizon up to 30yr and accompanied with underlying research and using climate information for sectoral applications ( middle-ground level 1). The project's goal is to improve existing climate prediction systems and to merge their outputs across timescales together with climate...
