Relationship to nature and gender equality. A contribution to critical theory from feminist practice and mobilisation in agroecology in Brazil
The GENgiBRe project analyses the construction of the relationship to nature from a gender, class and race perspective in two rural regions of Brazil that are subject to socio-environmental conflicts. It starts from the experience of women farmers in contact with the agroecological movement, which it situates in gender and other power relations,in socio-environmental conflicts and in the process of neoliberalisation of nature led by the current Brazilian government.
LOw-dimensional ferromagnetic units towards ValuablE Magneto-Electrics
We propose an original and thoughtful approach for designing magnetoelectric properties in inorganic compounds, dealing with low dimensional ferromagnetic units (0D blocks, 1D chains, 2D layers) and their alignment under field through metamagnetic transitions. Our candidates possess collinear or canted macrospins of high spin magnetic cations (M = Fe2+, Co2+, Mn2+), separated by non-magnetic and electrical insulating spacers or large cations building up the insulating properties.
Multiscale Sensing For Disease Monitoring In Vineyard Production
Meriavino project aims at helping winegrowers to access real-time information and diagnosis for agronomic decisions. The objective is to supervise daily processes using multi-sensing cameras, and Agriculture Internet of Things (AIoT) devices in order to interconnect the vineyard parcels, as well as to develop a non-invasive, eco-friendly and low-cost technology for vineyard monitoring, allowing high precision analysis.

Live-tracking rhizobial switch from rhizosphere to plant-confined colonization modes
Legumes establish a beneficial root nodule-forming nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with rhizobia for improved growth. The early stages of this interaction involve key molecular exchanges and the reprogramming of plant cells for bacterial entry. However, little is known about how rhizobia cope with the drastic shift to a confined host environment at this stage. Live-Switch addresses this question by studying the reprogramming of rhizobia and the dialogue with the plant partner at the single cell level.
Decision system for smart management of resources in warehouses
The project AGIRE addresses the human resources management in warehouses which supply either sale points (B2B) or final consumers (B2C). Such warehouses are under pressure due to the no inventory policy at the sale points and to the constant growth of e-commerce sales. In terms of logistics, this translates into an increasing number of parcels to prepare and to ship to satisfy an order, which is known typically a few hours in advance.
Molecular and evolutionary principles governing enzyme regioselectivity
Prediction of enzyme function is a notoriously difficult problem with promising biotechnological impact. Here, we tackle this problem by studying both molecular mechanisms and evolutionary properties of a class of enzymes that are involved in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway. To that end, we propose an interdisciplinary approach consisting in confronting bioinformatics studies in evolution (comparative genomics), biophysical models of molecular dynamics and biochemical experiments.
Conformational design for high throughput MS/MS reading of digital polymers
The shapeNread project aims at optimizing the tridimensional structure of digital polymers for high throughput sequencing. Coded data will be segmented in blocks to be released in a first MS/MS step and further activated in a second MS/MS step for sequencing. Specific tags will be conceived by molecular modelling in order to distinguish these segments in terms of conformation and hence enable high throughput sequencing by using MS/MS-IMS-MS/MS.
Capitalizing knowledge on Common Alerting Protocol, individual Capacities & Capabilities of practitioners for guiding a New Cap for Alerting population in France with a multichannel platform.
Cap4 Multi-Can'Alert is an experimental development project within the framework of the 2024 Olympic Games. It aims to develop an innovative multi-channel alert solution, which will combine different distribution channels, adapted to the regulatory and technological contexts emerging in France, and which will integrate the needs of end users and the reactions to be expected from the population.
