WAter vapor LIdar NEtwork ASsimilation – WaLiNeAs
Southern France is struck by ~ 7 heavy precipitation events (HPEs) per year on average during the fall (September-November). HPEs occurring in small and steep watersheds are responsible for the triggering of flash floods with a sudden and often violent onset and rapid rise of rivers, typically from
Unitary Authentication in the THz and Radiofrequencies domains – AUSTRALE
Counterfeiting and more generally identity theft, is a phenomenon that affects all the industrial sectors, from luxury to mass distribution and whose losses are colossal for economy, employment, brand image: in France a cost of 7.3 €billion (0.3% of the Gross Domestic Product) and of 25 000 jobs (ab
Specific issues on terrorists and radicalized convicts reintegration in open custody – TROC
The aim of this multidisciplinary research is to study brakes and levers for the social reintegration of people convicted of terrorism and common law prisoners suspected of radicalization. Indeed, their reintegration constitutes one of the main societal challenges for the years to come as well as a
Social Transformation in South African Science and Innovation – STIS
This project investigates the integration of excluded groups into social collectives, with an empirical focus on the racial transformation of the South African science system. Since the end of apartheid, South Africa has been in the process of a radical transformation away from a society completel
Revisiting Deflagration-Detonation Transition in the context of carbon-free energy production – ReDDT
The objective of the present project is to set up theoretical models by asymptotic analyses, representing accurately the dynamics of detonations in hydrogen-air mixtures. Physical phenomena pertaining to the inner structure of the waves will be included in the analysis, which is usually not the ca
Religious diversity and tradition in Burkina Faso: historical and contemporary challenges – DivTradBF
This project aims to question the ambiguity between the notions of tradition and traditional religions, often referred to by the same term in local languages in Burkina Faso. Instead of focusing on predefined conceptual entities, it proposes a pragmatic and epistemological approach to the practices
New trigger: novel techniques for pure, efficient and scalable autonomous radio detection of high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays – NUTRIG
The origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays - the most energetic particles in the Universe, sometimes exceeding energies of 10^20 eV - is still a mystery, after more than a century of theoretical and experimental research. Detection of cosmic neutrinos beyond energies of 10^17 eV may allow to identi
Morphological and multi-wavelength constraints on the coeval growth of galaxies and their super-massive black holes – MORPHOSTAR
So far the morphology of distant galaxies has mostly been explored as a secondary property of sources first selected as a function of other parameters like their stellar mass, their optical color or their monochromatic luminosity in the infrared, the radio or the X-rays. Since these selections suffe
Intensive religiosities, rigorisms and radicalities – RIGORAL
In the post-2015 context, the state is designing action plans to prevent radicalisation and combat 'separatism', themes that are also very much in the public debate. These measures are having an impact on the practices and professional identities of social workers. They also have a major impact on p
Governing Jihad in Africa: Ideology, Political Economy, and Violence – GOV-JIHAD
Since the collapse of the “Caliphate” of the Islamic State in the Levant, sub-Saharan Africa has been the next jihadi frontier, actively promoted as such by global jihadi networks.. This armed challenge has largely been analysed from the perspective of “violent extremism,” suggesting that jihadist a
