The primary goal of my ERC StG project ELEMENTS is to provide stringent observational constraints on the cosmic origins of elements heavier
than iron. We employ novel cutting-edge 3D Non-LTE models and high-quality spectroscopic data collected with new astronomical facilities. This project represents the first large systematic study of s-, p- and r-process nucleosynthesis across the Galaxy.
