Presentation of selected research projects.

Homer's Kalydon Discovered

Internationalisation Fellowship | 03/10/2018

The famous poet Homer described the ancient Greek city of Kalydon in his legendary poem the Iliad, the story of the Trojan War. The project 'Rediscovering Artemis. A Comprehensive Re-examination of the Artemis Laphria Sanctuary in Kalydon' supported by the Carlsberg Foundation and hosted by the Danish Institute at Athens, is re-writing the history of the important sanctuary of the goddess Artemis in Kalydon in western Greece.

Teasing Apart Social Coordination of Toothed Whales

Internationalisation Fellowship | 06/10/2017

Frants Havmand Jensen | How do social delphinids use sound for mediating group interactions, and how will increasing ocean noise affect these processes? In this project, postdoc Frants Havmand Jensen investigates how social toothed whales coordinate activities and behaviours and how acoustic information flow helps mediate critical social interactions to better predict effects on cetaceans as underwater noise increases.

Developing Corporate Governance: Cross-Border Race to Influence

Internationalisation Fellowship | 02/10/2017

Therese Strand | During Therese Strand's stay at Vanderbilt Law School, significant time was devoted to study the role of corporate investors and their financial objectives and legal prerequisites in a contextual landscape that is far from the Nordic business environment. During the stay, data has been collected to explore how international sources of power impact on the Nordic business community.

Winter Survival Strategies in Seabirds

Internationalisation Fellowship | 17/01/2017

Jannie Linnebjerg | With recent advances in technology, it is now possible to gain unprecedented insight into seabird behaviour at sea. The aim of this study, supported by the Carlsberg Foundation, was to investigate how diving birds cope with the harsh weather and low food availability they experience during the winter.

Non-Reductive Physicalism and the Problem of Mental Causation

Internationalisation Fellowship | 06/12/2016

Jonas Fogedgaard Christensen | In this paper, the author present one of the central questions in contemporary philosophy of mind: The prospects for a position known as non-reductive physicalism.

Implication of Organic Compounds in Atmospheric New Particle Formation

Internationalisation Fellowship | 27/07/2016

Jonas Elm | The aim of this project, which is supported by the Carlsberg Foundation, is to identify how new particles are formed at the molecular level, using quantum chemical methods.

For Wind Turbines, Turbulence Is the Work of the Devil

Internationalisation Fellowships | 17/06/2016

Jacob Berg | Wind turbines convert kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. The more it blows - the more is produced. We all know, however, that the wind is rarely steady; a constant wind speed from a single wind direction rarely occurs. Instead it fluctuates in a chaotic and seemingly random way. These fluctuations are known as turbulence.

Nanomachines Repair Sick Cells Using Next Generation Therapeutic Tools

Internationalisation Fellowship | 03/06/2016

Rasmus Schøler Sørensen | As personal gene sequencing is becoming commonly available, it is now easier than ever to locate errors in the genetic code, the DNA encoding our cells at the most basic level. However, as easy as genetic errors are to diagnose, they generally remain the hardest to treat with conventional medicine.
