European Crucible Podcasts

Quentin CooperThe primary objective of European Crucible is to create and develop a pan-European network of future research leaders who have enhanced knowledge, contacts and capacities to collaborate more effectively with wider impact 

Listen to broadcaster, Quentin Cooper, as he interviews team members from 5 pilot projects that received seed funding and learn how their multidisciplinary research activities were initiated and enabled through their participation in European Crucible. Projects address medical, health, environmental, social, legal and technological challenges.

SUPA had responsibility, on behalf of all Scottish Research Pools, for the administration and delivery of the European Crucible grant from Scottish Funding Council / Scottish Government.

Storytelling and Games to Address Trauma

Project: "MAVKA"

Children are being traumatised by the violence in Ukraine and are in need of safety. Several approaches can provide support for victims of trauma conflict. Storytelling allows us to make sense of information in an organised way whilst combining elements of play. The aim of the project is to develop a 'serious game' providing children and young people affected by war and conflict with an opportunity to engage in mixed media to process emotion and trauma.

The Team expertise for this Societal Challenge is in Social Sciences, Literature, and Computer Science.

Water Quality Monitoring

Scotland – France – Luxembourg

Project: "UV-Go"

Despite the standard use of spectroscopy to determine the composition of water in the laboratory and in the field, UV/visible spectrometers are expensive and bulky. This project encompasses the development and testing of new low cost and sensitive UV sensors for water composition quantification.

The team expertise for this Environmental Challenge is in: Physics, Chemistry, Experimental Hydrology, Material and Environmental Science
