Exiting violence – SoV
Since September 11, 2001, “radicalization” has become a category and major topic of public and scientific debate in the Anglo-Saxon world. The same applies to France, particularly since the January and September 2015 attacks. But as soon as we turn our attention towards political and geographical ar
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
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
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
Extracorporeal ThromboLysis using multifrequency Ultrasound – ULysSE
Current methods for the treatment of thrombosis have made great progress over the past twenty years, but deficiencies remain, despite everything: interventional techniques (thrombectomy, bypass) are invasive and require a specific equipment and experienced staff; alternative techniques use thromboly
ALTER-TRACK – ALTERnative TRACKing
Alter-Track aims at designing a global solution for real-time vehicule tracking based on technologies that are not based on satellites like GPS/Galilleo (positioning) or GPRS (transmission of the positioning information). This approach paves the way to a fully autonomous positioning system, always a
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
Colonial Legacies and Indigeneity in France's Overseas Territories: Kanaks of New Caledonia, Amerindians of Guyana and Ma'ohi of Polynesia in the Face of Two Institutions of the French Republic (Justice, School). – AUTOCHTOM
Seen from the metropolitan ‘centre’, the marginality of indigenous peoples within French overseas territories that are themselves intrinsically peripheral stands in contrast to the periodic eruption of violence: conflicts in New Caledonia (1984-88), riots in Faa’a-Tahiti (1995), Cayenne (1996) and N
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
