Posthumus fellow Dr Daniel Gallardo Albarrán receives NWO XS Grant
The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded Dr Daniel Gallardo Albarrán, fellow of the N.W. Posthumus Institute and Assistant Professor at Wageningen University and Research, an NWO XS Grant. These grants are awarded for ideas with a maximum budget of 50,000 euro that hold great promise and aim to enable proposals for curiosity-driven, innovative research in the research fields covered by the NWO Domain Social Sciences and Humanities.
Daniels project ‘Cholera Contagion: The Role of Climate and Mobility in European Pandemics’ uses interdisciplinary techniques – from history, demography and epidemiology — to study how climate and human mobility shaped cholera diffusion in Europe before 1914, when major epidemics occurred. The project informs debates on how climate affected people’s health in history, and how it may influence future diarrheal disease outbreaks.
The N.W. Posthumus Institute congratulates Matthias with this grant.
