Ancient Religious Dedications in the Western Mediterranean Basin (ARD-West)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Ancient European cultural features are made up of epichoric creations, transfers and even local adaptations. Before Roman domination led to a new, centralised kind of cultural context, numerous peoples had developed their own cultural and identity codes through creation, adaptation and re-elaboration of concepts and objects. The goal of this project is to identify these processes of creation in Pr...

Rivers as leak in the terrestrial C sink (C-LEAK)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

Lateral displacement of carbon (C) from soils across inland waters towards the ocean has been intensified due to anthropogenic perturbations and has significant influence on the anthropogenic C budget and the terrestrial C sink. However, Earth System Models (ESM) which are used to simulate the terrestrial C sink at global scale still ignore these lateral fluxes.The project presented here aims at a...

Political Economy with Many Parties: Strategic Electorate and Strategic Candidates (PEMP)

Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2020,

Most real-life elections involve many candidates. Coordination problems in multicandidate elections make the strategic behavior of political agents fundamentally different than in two-candidate elections. The literature’s typical focus on two-candidate settings is thus a clear handicap to understand elections outside the US. The main objective of this project is two-fold: (i) generating new method...
