Awarded Projects

The origin of multiple stellar populations (MPs) in globular clusters (GCs) is one of the most puzzling issues of stellar astrophysics. Many attempts have been done both from observational and theoretical studies to unveil the enigma of their formation but, so far, a clear picture is still lacking.

The well established theory of strong interactions (Quantum Chromodynamics) has yielded a huge amount of understanding how the nucleon and other hadrons are built from quarks and gluons, the fundamental degrees of freedom in QCD.

Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most frequently used methods for cancer treatment (above 50% of patients will receive RT). Despite remarkable advancements, the normal tissues tolerances continue being the main limitation in RT.

The design of synthetic/artificial molecular systems to finely control chemical reactions is a key challenge, with countless technological applications.

The objective of this project is to develop a lidar foundation model capable of promptable 3D segmentation and detection and exhibiting strong generalisation across diverse autonomous driving datasets.

The proposed project aims to advance multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Hormone-sensitive prostate cancers eventually stop responding to hormone therapy. A new treatment regimen may or may not work. That is why it is important to apply optimal therapy against hormone-sensitive prostate cancer at its earliest stage.

Cosmic strings are an expected consequence of early Universe phase transitions, arising from symmetry breaking patterns. As such, a detection would provide evidence of new physics.

This project will deliver several "EU-based" large pre-trained models which will be publicly available for research and commercial use by public bodies and SMEs.
