continuous construction of resilient social contracts through societal transformations co3

a social contract is a politicaltheoretical concept which describes the fictive basic agreement between the members of a polity on the principles of this polity there is a long legacy of various definitions of a social contract in political theory there is also a long historical legacy of practiced social contracts in countries inside and outside the european union to grasp the impact of the social contract between individuals and groups as well as between the demos and the state across societies it is crucial to understand the concept in plural and analyse how definitions and practises shape also the scope implications and resilience of social contracts in the face of societal transformations this requires a highlevel of context sensitivity and ability to shift between local regional national and transnational settings based on the analyses of the limitations of and challenges to the social contracts in political theorising and practices co3 aims at developing and promoting a more democratic more inclusive and more open model of social contracts which manifest political and social resilience in the face of major societal challenges crises and antidemocratic tendencies drawing from 8 empirical case studies in eu member states and in 3 nonmember states co3 researchers safeguards and mechanisms for resilient social contracts overtime while the theoretical ambition of the co3 project is to analyse how the contemporary theories of the social contract contribute to our understanding of the social contracts in the current crisesdriven european political environment the empirical ambition is to investigate contradictions and tensions between practices narratives and lived experiences in social contracts across europe through concrete cases as a result co3 generates evidencebased knowledge on the safeguards and mechanisms for promoting resilient social contracts which support citizen involvement and democracy across europe

computational studies on heterogeneous astrocatalysis of spaceabundant transition metals

the formation of solarlike planetary systems is a complex process that goes through different steps where not only physical changes occur but also an increasing of the molecular complexity this gives rise to a rich chemical diversity and complexity of gasphase molecular species in different astrophysical environments however not all the molecules observed can be formed at this state the presence of interstellar grains ie submicronsized solidstate particles ubiquitously present in space is especially important for the synthesis of molecules that would not form in the gas phase in the abundance required to satisfy observations interstellar grains are advocated to infer catalytic effects however such a catalytic role is associated with enhancing the encountering of the reactive species on the grain surface due to adsorption and diffusion and the capability of the grains to dissipate the energy excess of largely exothermic reactions in fact stateoftheart research on the field mainly focuses on the reactivity happening on the ices covering the grains and whose capability to reduce activation barriers is rather limited nevertheless other materials beyond ices are also present in interstellar environments and can indeed exhibit catalytic properties refractory grains containing space abundant transition metals such as fe and ni are the perfect candidates to perform as heterogeneous catalysts by using fischertropsch co h2 and haberbosch n2 h2 processes as model reactions and by means of quantum chemical simulations the project chaos will present for the first time a complete and deep description of the heterogeneous catalytic processes that can occur in the interstellar medium the data obtained will go beyond representing the catalytic capacity of such materials in the outer space it will be further used for predictive purposes as inputs in machine learning models
the interplay of himalayan uplift climate change and plant diversification a key to conserve one of the worlds richest flora

the recent international panel for climate change ipccar6 report warns that high mountains in asia will witness a drastic rise in temperature precipitation and reduced snow cover by the middle of the 21st century which will seriously threaten its rich biodiversity the himalaya the highest mountain chain on earth and one of the worlds most biodiverse regions spans two biodiversity hotspots that are particularly sensitive to anthropogenic activities despite the effects of a changing environment the evolution of presentday biodiversity patterns remain poorly explored previous research has mainly focused on orogenesis and monsoons as key factors governing the assembly of regional diversity while their relative roles on species diversification are less explored or studied separately few ecoevolutionary studies exist for himalaya and most of them are based on the inferences from timecalibrated phylogenetic trees of single taxa or simplistically link node ages to contested uplift phases this project aims to generate a new paleoelevation profile for the himalayan mountains for this it will i disentangle the relative roles of mountain uplift temperature and precipitation through a macroevolutionary analysis of four selected plant lineages in conjunction with a newly developed paleoelevation reconstruction by assessing fossil pollen assemblages and testing the chemical composition of selected taxa ii integrate macroevolution and uplift history with species distribution models to identify areas of high speciation iii assess the impact of future climate changes on these hotspots the crossdisciplinary approach involving paleobotany phylogeny macroevolution and species distribution modeling is unique for the himalaya region the project will provide novel insights into understanding the pace of the himalayan uplift and its influences on plant diversification and conservation strategies to preserve its unique biodiversity
the influence of gut microbiota and microbial metabolites on a mouse model relevant to binge eating disorder

binge eating disorder bed is a psychiatric disorder with grave health risks previous studies have associated alterations of gut microbiota status with bed however whether this is a causal relationship where differences in gut microbiota status promote bingelike eating behavior independent of changes in body weight remains to be explored and forms the central aim of microbed microbed will also characterize the influence of gut microbiota on behavioral outcomes relevant to bed via the hedonic feeding circuit lastly microbed will explore whether certain microbial metabolites can alleviate bingelike eating behavior it hypothesizes that gut microbiota influences bed associated behavior by altering activation of the hedonic feeding circuit via circulating microbial metabolitesmicrobed will be performed in the weizmann institute one of the worlds leading multidisciplinary basic research institutions it will be highly interdisciplinary and involve collaboration with renowned neuroscientists and computational biologists the outcomes of microbed could have significant societal impact as it can lead to development of novel therapies for bed general public policy makers and scientific audiences will be informed about the outcomes of microbed through a multipronged dissemination strategymicrobed will also greatly aid my career development by providing worldclass training in a multidisciplinary setting it will enhance my research skills foster my managerial abilities and strengthen my professional network i will also benefit from the highlevel training provided by the feinberg graduate school including courses and workshops in technical and soft skills and by attending international conferences like fens and sfn to conclude microbed will provide an important opportunity in my career that would allow me to acquire critical skills and competencies that will enable me to transition from an early career scientist to research group leader

gender empowerment through politics in classrooms

ensuring the future of democracy requires empowering all social group to engage yet the gender gap in political leadership political ambition and political selfefficacy is the most persistent and most difficult to tackle across western democracies the situation when looking across the intersect of gender social class and ethnicity becomes even more grave these differences have been shown to begin in the school and classroom dynamics has been cited as the likely socialisation process that leads to these different outcomes gepic a multinational consortium of universities and civil society organisations has been brought together with the aim of fostering social innovation and testing interventions to reduce gender inequality in politics the 7 partners in 6 countries belgium czechia denmark germany spain and united kingdom will begin by establishing the state of play through classroom observations and reanalysis of existing quantitative data to understand how inequalities in attitudes and dispositions towards political engagement are learnt gepic will then create experiments in schools and pilot designbased interventions codeveloped with civilsociety teachers and students these experiments and interventions will be rigorously evaluated in comparisons with control groups and will lead to the development of the gender empowerment in classroom intervention that will be disseminated and delivered in schools across europe creating the possibility for real change and the reduction of the gender gap in political leadership in addition gepic will also carry out a holistic evaluation of the national context and the local and european policy framework to design strategies regulations and policies that are conducive to a more equitable gender political involvement particularly of girls with a disadvantaged background
