Projet GLOBAL INHERITANCES (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of the project is to study the ways in which the institutions of the early modern Spanish Empire identified the legitimate heirs of mobile individuals coming from the Iberian peninsula who died suddenly, often without making a will, while they were in the monarchy’s extra-European territories, thousands of kilometres away from their home towns and the places where their heirs lived. In the context of a global scale empire, and in the absence of reliable official documentation such as civil and property registers, both the property and identity of these mobile individuals was extremely uncertain. Who were the deceased? What property did they own? Who and where were their heirs? When they died thousands of kilometres away from Europe, how did the institutions transmit the inheritance to their legitimate heirs? How could the courts be sure who they were? How could heirs demonstrate their identities in order to safeguard their rights to succession? For those hundreds of thousands of subjects of the Catholic Monarchy now on the move around four different continents – and for their families too – identifying themselves and demonstrating their identities was an urgent and growing need. Demonstrating their identities in court was a fundamental pre requisite for heirs claiming inherited property and, even more importantly, ensuring legitimate property inheritance was a central priority of the institutions themselves. Over the course of the sixteenth century, in fact, the Catholic Monarchy set up specific courts, the so-called "Juzgados de Bienes de Difuntos" (courts charged with handling the estates of the dead), to take temporary possession of goods left without owners and for the purposes of identifying their legitimate heirs. This project will analyse the extraordinary and as yet little used documentation produced by these courts and concentrate its attention on the case of colonial Mexico, a crucible of empire building.

Projet BBP (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of the proposed research is to bridge the gap between theoretical and empirical studies of religion, which up till now developed separately, as the studies of beliefs and the studies of practices. This will be done by means of elucidating the properties of beliefs and their relation to human embodied religious practices. . I decided to take the best of empirical investigations (phenomenology and the most prominent results of religious studies) and the best of theoretical investigation (analytic philosophy) and make a conceptual work to bridge them. As a methodological basis for this work I have chosen embodied approaches, as they present a link between phenomenological descriptions and strict analytical conceptualizations. Body is a medium between beliefs and practices, thus the concept of belief will be developed in relation to the practice with a body as a focal point and a key source of conceptualizations. The results of the research will be presented in clear-cut analytical terms, easy to use not only by empirical and theoretical researchers of religion, but also by participants of interreligious dialogue, thus contributing to mutual understanding and religious tolerance. I aim to provide a proper, detailed and accurate account of the properties of beliefs in their relation to practice by conceptualizing the results of empirical studies in clear-cut analytical terms. This project is an important step in my professional development, as for its fulfillment I will have to apply all my previous knowledge and interdisciplinary skills, and learn new analytic methods.

Projet SURGE (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2016)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of the research is to support the career development of an experienced researcher through an interdisciplinary project that tackles a crucial policy issue for cities globally, that of urban regeneration governance. Developing a novel interdisciplinary conceptual framework, and applying a stakeholder evaluative frame in the analysis, the project explores the governance of urban regeneration projects in two world cities, Vancouver and London. The scientific objectives of the research are: to develop an innovative theoretical framework that integrates different disciplinary perspectives on urban governance; to critically analyse the dynamics of urban regeneration governance and in particular the role of different stakeholders in the process; and to provide research and policy recommendations for dissemination to wide audiences. The outgoing host is the University of British Colombia, Vancouver, at the School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), while the return phase will be hosted at Oxford Brookes University (OBU). Both SCARP and OBU provide ideal hosts for the fellow, offering a strong multidisciplinary environment, a network of international contacts, and an outstanding track record of training researchers. The research training objectives of the proposal are to train the fellow in a new methodology, digital ethnography, which she will then apply to the research; to complement the researcher’s knowledge of urban governance in the UK with in-depth understanding of the Canadian case, and so develop a comparative urbanism perspective; to participate in seminars and other events organised by the outgoing and return hosts; and to interact and collaborate with international scholars from different disciplines in areas of mutual interest. In order to maximise the impact of the research, the fellow will also undertake a three-month secondment at a Paris-based NGO, European Alternatives, where her findings will be exploited in real life regeneration settings.

Projet NEDBELS (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2014)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - Global Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of the research proposal “Neurodiversity between Law and Science” (NEDBELS) is to inquire into the legal impacts and socio-political implications of the concept of neurodiversity. This term pertains to individuals diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism and hypothesizes the emergence of a new category of difference in the human population. NEDBELS explores how this concept challenges the constitutional principle of equality, as well as how it fosters the need to accommodate new principles in criminal and civil law. This proposal has risen from a need for heightened communication between law and science. Scientific theories, concepts and methods widely permeate law and adjudication, and legal and ethical frameworks intimately drive applied sciences, as in education and health care systems. Therefore, one might reasonably expect that these two worlds would cooperate on a regular basis. However, lawyers, scientists and health care professionals operate largely insulated from one another in research, formal training and daily practice. This divergence prevents vulnerable minorities, such as people with neurodevelopmental disorders, from reaping the full socio-political potential of scientific advancements. NEDBELS’s goal is to increase communication between law and neurosciences through interdisciplinary research methodologies and scientific training-through-research as well as by enhancing the synergy among legal experts, policy makers and scientists in the field of neurodiversity

Projet ArcticRisk (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2019)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of this Fellowship is for the researcher, Dr Jacob Taarup-Esbensen, to develop his professional capacity by engaging in advanced training, develop interdisciplinary skills and disseminate his work through high-impact journals. He will do this through practical experience, courses and high-quality supervision in line with the criteria for a leading independent researcher in the EU. This proposal aims to investigate multinationals (MNEs) management of risk and business continuity in the Arctic mining industry using the context of Greenland as a case. This is done by examining best practice within the industry and using the researchers experiences from MNE risk management and business continuity in other resource-rich countries, primarily Norway, and applying these to the Greenlandic context. The target result will contribute to a field of research, which is currently underdeveloped, provide practitioners with an applicable tool-set and pave the ground for research into the consequences of the industrialisation of the Arctic. The researcher expects to achieve these aims through fieldwork, advanced training, and mentoring in emergency management under arctic conditions, resource economics and sociological approaches to risk management. The ambition is that the research will contribute to our knowledge on the consequences of the expanding industrialisation of the Arctic and risk management under extreme conditions. Upon returning to the University of Stavanger, the researcher will consolidate his knowledge and experience, disseminating his research through advanced training at universities as well as public speaking based on the extensive fieldwork and research done on international business, risk management in the Arctic, effects of globalisation and policy developments in small resource-rich countries.

Projet Evolving together (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of this Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (Evolving Together) is to develop an innovative new system for directed co-evolution of ligand-receptor pairs in two different cell populations. This novel cell-to-cell directed evolution platform will facilitate the development of synthetic, orthogonal intercellular signaling pathways that can be applied to control and manipulate cells by user-defined expression of a target gene. The selection of the reporter gene can be extremely flexible, which allows full customization of the downstream cellular response, such as programming self-organized cellular patterns or targeting specific cell populations. This Fellowship will be undertaken under the supervision of Prof. Tom Ellis (Imperial College London Centre for Synthetic Biology), who is internationally renowned in synthetic biology and is leading the UK’s effort in the Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0), one of the world’s largest synthetic biology projects to date. My proposed research brings together many aspects of synthetic biology and molecular biology techniques, including molecular cloning, cell culture, protein and genome engineering, directed evolution, and next generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, we will extensively use fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and confocal imaging to isolate and characterize the populations of interest. These techniques combine skills I’ve acquired during previous research along with the expertise and methods of Tom Ellis’ group. Evolving Together presents an opportunity to make a major new innovation in directed evolution that can impact various fields of biology and biomedicine such as signaling, protein engineering, biomaterials, synthetic biology and therapeutics.

Projet DyVirt (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2017)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The aim of this innovative training network is to train a new generation of early-stage researchers (ESR’s) to face the urgent challenge of how to model the performance of engineering structures that operate in dynamic environments. Building trusted virtual models for structures subject to high dynamic loads is a process we call “dynamic virtualisation”. All the ESR’s who receive training through this network will (i) obtain a PhD from an internationally recognised University, (ii) gain experience of applying their research skills in non-academic organisations, and (iii) receive training in transferable skills such commercialisation and communication. The network will be run as part of the Open Data Project giving maximum research impact through open access publications, data, software and public engagement. The research carried out through this network will go beyond the now ubiquitous process of creating computer based simulation models of structural dynamics. Obtaining a valuable virtual model is no longer a question of computing power, but now rests in the more difficult problem of developing trust in the model through the process of verification and validation (V & V). The challenges are perhaps most obvious in the renewable energy sector, where technology is developing at a very rapid pace, and more reliable models are required to cope with structures subjected to extreme loadings which lead to a high degree of nonlinearity, and uncertainties. Applying our research to such problems will be accelerated by close interaction with the industrial partners in the network, with whom we intend to maintain and enhance an innovation focused relationship. This will result in a training network where ESR’s are able to be creative, entrepreneurial and innovative whilst receiving state of the art training that will enable them to deal with future challenges in this important area of engineering.
