  • STOCHASTICA, COST Association-Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are used to model phenomena under the influence of random noise and uncertainty and are useful in an extraordinary range of applications. In health, SDE mo-dels of tumour growth can help medical practitioners design interventions. In clean energy, they can model airflow aro-und wind turbine blades, and enable multiscale modeling of entire wind farms and energy grids by representing small scale effects as noise. In computing, SDEs can be used to develop training algorithms for deep learning algorithms. The development and effective deployment of stochastic models requires input from a broad range of specialist experts: applied modelers, theoretical mathematicians, numerical analysts, and statisticians, all guided by the needs of stake-holders in academia and industry. However, in the current European research landscape, there is no large-scale frame-work enabling these communities to interact, and opportunities for goal-driven research progress that is informed by all relevant expertise are being lost. Under the umbrella of computational stochastics, STOCHASTICA will bring together members of all these communities to create a net-work of researchers with common goals informed by academic and industry partners. The work of the Action will generate a computational toolbox including a database of test problems, implementation guidance, and accessible descriptions of mathematical quality that empower non-specialist experts to make appropriate and routine use of stochastic models in applications such as natural resource management, renewable energy transmission, medical and public health applications.
  • COST Action CA22108, COST Association, “Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET)”, 2024– Vector-borne diseases, and emerging infectious diseases of wildlife, are major contributors to the global disease burden and of increasing concern globally. Haemosporidian parasites are ubiquitous in nature, hugely diverse, and associated with morbidity and mortality across taxa, including humans, livestock and wildlife. Many research groups globally focus on these parasites as model systems for addressing a broad range of ecological and evolutionary questions with eco-nomic and health implications.
  • COST Action CA23146, COST Association, “European vascular liver diseases network (EURO-VALDI-NET)”, 2024– . EURO-VALDI-NET aims to create a pan-European multidisciplinary co-operative network of stakeholders, bringing together scientists, clinicians, industry partners, and patients associations, to address the vascular liver diseases problems. Through the creation of shared data registries on main relevant basic and clinical aspects, conference calls, meetings, workshops, as well as training schools, this Action will coordinate efforts aiming at advancing the understanding of vascular liver diseases to translate basic research and preclinical findings into clinical practice.
