About the Project Agriculture in Ethiopia faces major challenges from declining soil fertility, land degradation, climate variability and reduced crop productivity. Smallholder farmers often lack access to timely information to support decisions on fertiliser use, water management and sustainable farming practices. Growing interest in regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration is creating opportunities to improve food security and climate resilience.

Medicine
University of Aberdeen
About the Project Myeloma, a type of blood cell cancer, has an incidence of around 6000 new cases in United Kingdom, with approximately 500 new cases in Scotland every year. A relatively more common condition, especially in older adults, termed Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is not considered a cancer, but it has been associated with increased risk of progression to myeloma. Plasma cells are derived from B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.

About the Project The long-standing notion that small-cap stocks exhibit a “high-risk, high-return” pattern has been a cornerstone of asset pricing theory since Fama and French (1993) introduced their influential three-factor model. Numerous studies, including Switzer (2010), Blitz (2016), and Blitz, Van Vliet, and Baltussen (2019), provide empirical evidence supporting this relationship.
