INTIMATE’s main aim is to contribute to legal, policy and cultural innovation through the findings of a c ...

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Given the association of European languages/cultures with historical colonialism and nowadays with economic and epistemological imperialism, the nature of their reception, use and evolution as well as the role of local native/indigenous languages, in academic contexts deserve scientific attention. Furthermore, internationalization and globalization have been established as governmental priorities ...

Strange Mirrors, Unsuspected Lessons: Leading Europe to a new way of sharing the world experiences (ALICE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Europe sits uncomfortably on the idea that there are no political and cultural alternatives credible enough to respond to the current uneasiness or malaise caused by both a world that is more and more non-European and a Europe that increasingly questions what is European about itself. This project will develop a new grounded theoretical paradigm for contemporary Europe based on two key ideas: the ...

Indigenous Epistemologies and Images of Public Wealth in Amazonia (IEIPWA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Research focuses on the place of indigenous epistemologies in intercultural and highly politicized interactions that revolve around the interface of development in Amazonia: on the one hand, the external planning and implementation of development projects in indigenous territories; on the other, indigenous people’s own critical responses to such projects. Although we have informative studies of de ...

Highly efficient production of ultra-lightweight clay-aerogel materials and their integrated composites for building insulation (ICECLAY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

Development of PCM-based innovative insulating solutions for the Light-weight building sector (STOREPET)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

New building strategies addressing climate change effects and reduction of heating/cooling energy are two fundamental issues at EU level. Figures as the 35,000 excess deaths attributed to the last heat wave in the continent in 2003, or 10% of the world’s energy being used just for heating of buildings support European citizen’s concerns and new EU legislation. New national and communitarian string ...

The semantics of tolerance and (anti-)racism in Europe: public bodies and civil society on a comparative perspective (TOLERACE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"The TOLERACE project proposes a contextualised comparative analysis that focuses on the semantics and regimes of (anti-)racism and tolerance in different European contexts, exploring how they are shaped through the mediation of public institutions and policies at the European, national, regional and local level, and civil society organisations. We seek to explore how the different meanings given ...
