2020 Projects

The 13 projects awarded in 2020 involve 15 high-level academics.

The new 2020 Fellows will work on a wide range of topics, including the impact of sleep loss on depression, experimental evolution, human rights in the area of food, oscillatory organisation in the hippocampus, European social jurisprudence, Quantum Hall states, and poetry and social class in ancient Greece.
