from a human vantage point* (PI: Michela Massimi) - is to explore 
methodological problems and prospects of perspectival modelling across 
the sciences. What challenges does the integration of data coming from 
incompatible models pose? And what are the prospects of a pluralistic 
approach to perspectival modelling?
