FutureMed: A Transdisciplinary Network to Bridge Climate Science and Impacts on Society
FutureMed: Transdisciplinárna sieť na prepojenie klimatickej vedy a jej dopadov na spoločnosť
| Duration: |
6.10.2023 - 5.10.2027 |
| Program: |
COST |
| Project leader: |
Mgr., MgA. Panáková Jaroslava PhD. |
| Annotation: | FutureMed will foster new climate change-related science and synergies serving as a transdisciplinary and integrative platform effectively connecting scientific knowledge on high-impact weather (HIW) events and climate change impacts with stakeholders from priority socio-economic sectors such as energy supply and demand, agriculture, health and migration. For the first time, an Action coordinates a platform where scientific communities, key stakeholders and citizens can interact for the ends of promoting climate change impacts awareness, establishing future research priorities, and building capacities based on knowledge exchange in a living lab |
PAAR-net - Participatory Approaches with Older Adults
PAAR-net - Participatívne prístupy so staršími jedincami
| Duration: |
20.10.2023 - 19.10.2027 |
| Program: |
COST |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Voľanská Ľubica PhD. |
| Annotation: | PAAR-net COST Action focuses on knowledge co-production, labelled here as participatory approaches, in research, policymaking and practice. It focuses on research, policy and practice intervention designs by experts-by-training (usually academics) and experts-by-experience (usually non-academics). The Action focuses on a specific group of experts-by-experience who are often not included in research, namely older adults (aged 65 and older, including those at risk of social exclusion). This COST Action aims to further develop participatory approaches with older adults as a means of driving inclusive social innovation across research, policy, and practice, for heterogenous and fair ageing societies. |
Romani Chords: Uncovering Romani Practice for Harmonic Accompaniment with Sonic, Visual and Ethnographic Analysis
Rómske akordy: odhaľovanie rómskej praxe pre harmonický sprievod so zvukovou, vizuálnou a etnografickou analýzou

Mgr. Nuska Petr PhD. |
| Annotation: | The phrase “Romani chords” (RC) encapsulates the distinctively lush harmonic language of Romani musicians in Slovakia. This musical feature is key to impressing non-Roma audiences and something Roma consider a root of their entire musical culture. RC are not merely a sonic phenomenon, though. They reflect long-established economic practices in Romani professional music-making, skills in creatively re-interpreting music of the surrounding non-Romani majorities, and a particular form of musical learning whereby folk knowledge passes from generation to generation. RomChords is the first project that tackles this phenomenon in its anthropological and ethnomusicological complexity. The project is an interdisciplinary investigation approaching RC as three types of data: a) sonic, b) visual, and c) ethnographic. The main ambition is to challenge the primacy of Western theories of harmony and to reconsider RC from the Romani perspective, unearthing how Roma themselves perceive, conceptualise and theorise their chords. The project aims to answer the following key questions: What role do RC play in the performance of Romani ethnicity? What is the significance of RC for Romani professional musicianship? How do Roma learn RC, and how do they innovate them? And what is the role of vision in learning and teaching RC? Action to address these questions is shaped by three specific objectives, which will be pursued through international and intersectoral cooperation between three participating institutions: I) Data collection concerning RC among Romani musicians in Slovakia (Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology, Slovak Academy of Sciences); II) Trans-disciplinary analysis of the data, employing methods of qualitative social sciences and computational (ethno-)musicology (Institute of Ethnomusicology – Center for Studies in Music and Dance, Portugal); III) Integration of knowledge about RC into a museum exhibition (The Museum of Romani Culture, Czech Republic). |
Transnational Family Dynamics in Europe
Transnacionálna dynamika rodiny v Európe
| Duration: |
3.10.2022 - 2.10.2026 |
| Program: |
COST |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Wilsch Martina PhD. |
| Annotation: | This Action aims to deepen the knowledge of the growing, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families by bringing together researchers and stakeholders from different disciplines and countries to address the need for transnational insights and to formulate policy and practice-oriented recommendations with an impact on international, national, sub-local and local practices. This Action will closely monitor current trends in migration, technology and politics, and engage in an intensive dialogue with policy and practitioners, and, thus, address the need to deepen and broaden scientific and policy understanding of transnational family. |
Establishing Networks to Implement the Principles on Effective Interviewing for Investigations
Vytváranie sietí na implementáciu zásad efektívneho vypočúvania v rámci vyšetrovania
| Duration: |

| Project leader: |
Mgr. Kosnáč Pavol MSt., PhD. |
| Annotation: | Interviews conducted across the world by police and other law enforcement agencies with suspects, victims and witnesses are crucially important in determining criminal justice outcomes. The Action Team knows from their combined expertise that there are two distinct approaches worldwide.
Firstly, several Member countries have developed (or are developing) an ethical approach termed ‘investigative interviewing’, that aims to obtain detailed and reliable information, while respecting human rights. This approach is consistent with the 2021 United Nations Declaration of the ‘Principles of Effective Interviewing’, known as the ‘Mendez Principles’ after the UN Special Rapporteur; Professor Juan Mendez. Over a three-year period, he led a committee of experts including those in law, forensic psychology and criminology alongside representation from civil society, culminating in the formal declaration of the principles that are grounded in science, law and ethics (see, https://interviewingprinciples.com/).
Secondly, however, it is well chronicled both from the literature and actual cases that law enforcement agencies in most countries remain unaware of the investigative interviewing approach, undertaking unethical practices, characterized by guilt presumption and confession-orientation that often rely on psychological manipulation, intimidation or physical torture, and can lead to miscarriages of justice and failed investigations.
This Action involves a timely and much-needed strategy of convening regional and in-country networks of researchers, practitioners and policy makers working with each other and with the Action Team to build on our early work to enable wider implementation of the ‘Mendez Principles’, ending cruel and inhumane practices that have adversely affected so many lives through unethical interrogations. |
