Defining Belief and Identities in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Role of Interreligious Debate
and Interaction - 1.4M over 5 years - Dr Ioannis Papadogiannikis, University of Oxford
(CORDIS link)
"This project seeks to recover the processes by which religious beliefs and identities were defined
through interreligious interaction and debate in the religious culture of a broader social base in the
eastern Mediterranean (6-8th centuries AD) through examination of a neglected, unconventional
corpus of medieval Greek, Syriac and Arabic literature"
The here and the hereafter in Islamic traditions - 978k over 4 years - Dr Christian Robert
Lange, University of Utrecht (CORDIS link)
"The aim of this project is to write a history of the Muslim paradise and hell. Researchers (PI, RF and
two doctoral researchers) will assess the extent to which Islamic traditions favour or reject a view
of human existence as directed toward the otherworld."
Wedding bells or bedding wells? Lexical and semantic influences on phoneme binding -
691k over 4 years - Dr Elizabeth Jeffries, University of York (CORDIS link)
"This multidisciplinary project examines the mechanisms in the mind and brain that underpin phoneme
binding. We explore how knowledge of the sounds and meanings of words prevents their phonemes
from recombining (so that errors such as bedding wells for wedding bells are avoided)."

Cooperation: SSH Theme
SSH.2013.5.1-1. Citizens' resilience in times of crisis
"...Which alternative forms of resilience do citizens develop at difficult times,
including strengthening of social and family networks and community
practices to foster solidarity when confronted by crises, changing lifestyles
towards more sustainable forms of consumption and production, developing
new artistic expressions as a form of resilience, moving abroad for short orlong periods, or, on the contrary, reducing their mobility, etc.."
SSH.2013.5.2-2. Transmitting and benefiting from cultural heritage in
Europe
"[Research should investigate]...the ways in which young generations ofEuropeans appropriate, enrich, promote and transmit cultural heritage and
values in multicultural societies, including through the use of new
technologies. In this context, the role of cultural actors, infrastructures such
as cultural foundations or museums and their networking should be
investigated, as well as the interface between cultural heritage, behaviours
and identity in order to forge a sense of EU-belonging."
