This project examines student mental health using Self-Determination Theory, a well-established psychological framework, to understand how well-being and distress are shaped not only by individual experiences but also by students’ social and cultural environments. By conducting an analogous study with university students in Trieste, Italy and Montreal, Canada, the project will compare how basic psychological […]

The “SEE-Gender” research initiative is part of the V2V global partnership project, aiming to explore the potential of gender-inclusive, socially and ecologically oriented entrepreneurship in facilitating the transition of small-scale fisheries from vulnerability to viability in the Indian Sundarbans mangrove delta. The primary objective of this research is to characterize social-ecological entrepreneurship within small-scale fisheries […]

L’histoire de la police peut s’écrire en s’intéressant à l’identité et au profil sociologique des policiers, pour comprendre de quelle manière ils reflètent la société, comment ils y évoluent et s’y intègrent, mais aussi comment ils font « profession ». Cette approche humaine souligne les enjeux corporatistes, institutionnels de l’exercice de la police et montre […]

This Mitacs research project involves a series of writing workshops with contemporary Rwandan fiction writers, and interviews with academics in literature departments in Rwandese institutions, editors and literary event organizers on different aspects of Rwandan literature, specifically around the common theme of place of fiction in collective memory. Both will be conducted in conjunction with […]

Electricity systems face unprecedented pressure to accommodate extraordinarily rapid growth within a short period. Achieving net-zero emissions requires deep electrification, extending electricity use to activities that currently rely on fossil fuels. This shift could dramatically increase current consumption levels, making it essential to harness the potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) to meet the growing […]

The Lowland Tapir (Tapirus terrestris), the largest Neotropical herbivore, is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. In northern Argentina, remaining populations are small, isolated, and genetically understudied. This project applies reduced-representation sequencing (NextRAD) to assess genomic diversity, population structure, and connectivity across three ecoregions: Yungas, Gran Chaco, and Atlantic Forest. Results will identify conservation […]

Depuis l’Antiquité, les mathématiciens s’intéressent aux pavages du plan, ces motifs réguliers qui permettent de recouvrir une surface sans trous ni chevauchements, à l’image des carrelages ou des mosaïques. Si les motifs utilisant des triangles, des carrés ou des hexagones sont bien connus, les chercheurs s’attaquent aujourd’hui à des figures plus complexes et moins étudiées […]

Ce projet explore de façon numérique et analytique une question mathématique fondamentale : dans quelles conditions un espace de fonctions discrètes, pondéré selon certaines règles, demeure stable lorsqu’on y applique une opération appelée convolution. Cette opération joue un rôle clé dans plusieurs domaines, notamment en physique quantique, où elle permet de modéliser des phénomènes comme […]

This project aims to study how football players move and interact on the field by using advanced data analysis. We will combine local GPS data from Uruguayan women’s football with international event data (such as World Cups) to better understand team tactics, physical performance, and coordination between players. By applying tools from statistics and data […]

Les violences éducatives ordinaires correspondent à des actes de violence de nature verbale, physique ou psychologique faites aux enfants dans une visée éducative afin de corriger un comportement ou de favoriser l’obéissance. En France, ces violences ont longtemps été minimisées ou ignorées et sont dites ordinaires. Depuis 2019, ces formes de violence ont été officiellement […]

Mutualisms, interactions in which two species benefit one another, are universal. It is estimated that every species engages in at least one mutualism. Mutualisms play key roles in natural ecosystems–providing essential ecosystem services, like pollination and nitrogen fixation–and even influence where species live. Despite their importance, very little is known about how mutualisms influence the […]

This research project investigates the esoteric thoughts of the 12th-century Muslim thinker, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Karim Shahrastani, focusing on how his works shaped the theological identity of the Ismaili Shii tradition. By analyzing Shahrastani’s unique use of symbolic narratives to represent spiritual authority, the study seeks to fill a significant gap in our understanding of […]
