• EU LASAGNE, multi-LAyer SpAtiotemporal Generalized NEtworks, Vito Latora, Enzo Nicosia, Federico Battiston. Aiming to provide a novel and coherent theoretical framework for analysing and modelling dynamic and multi-layer networks in terms of multi-graphs embedded in space and time. The theory is validated on real-world applications involving brain networks, on- and off-line social systems, healthcare systems, and transportation flows in cities. Consortium: Medical University of Vienna, Queen Mary University of London, University of Cambridge, Universitat de las Illes Balears, Centre National pour la Recherce Scientifique, Universitat de Barcelona, University of Manchester. Queen Mary University of London is the scientific coordinator.
• EPSRC GALE, Global Accessibility to Local Experience, Vito Latora, Alessandro Fiasconaro. Pioneering third generation recommender systems which would make it possible for the rapidly growing population of “global” city users to access, in real time, a level of information, that of the neighborhoods knowledge, which is inherently inaccessible to global repositories. This is a multidisciplinary consortium of 3 partners: Queen Mary University of London (School of Mathematical Sciences), University of Cambridge (Computer Laboratory), and Strathclyde University (department of Architecture).
• EPSRC RAVEN, Resilience, Adaptability and Vulnerability of complex Energy Networks PI David Arrowsmith, 2010-2013.
• MODELICO Modelling and Simulation of Complex Systems PI Lucas Lacasa, 2010-2013. 
• EU Pathfinder programme MANMADE Diagnosing vulnerability, emergent phenomena, and volatility in man-made networks, PI David Arrowsmith, 2007-2009.
