Functional Acoustic Coatings with Soft Metamaterials – BRENNUS
The BRENNUS project aims to create passive devices adjusted to classical ultrasonic instrumentation (metasurfaces), which allow for spatial control of sound (focusing, vortex) over short distances (less than the wavelength). The constituent materials of these metasurfaces have very high acoustic indices and have been developed within the framework of soft matter engineering.
Developing Absorptive Capacity In Collaborative Networks To Foster Innovation in SMEs – ACIC
To address international competition, SMEs that are often characterised by limited access to resources, have developed innovation projects within collaborative networks (CN). A review of the literature identifies certain capacities that can facilitate innovation within SMES. However, little is known about how SMEs can most effectively mobilise the resources of CNs within their own organisations and how best to collaborate with other companies to maximise success in their innovation projects.
Carbon partitioning in nanostructured ferritic phases: kinetics and microstructures – CAP NANO
The proposed project is devoted to provide a better fundamental understanding of the Quench and Partitioning (Q&P) process, in the aim of optimizing the production of the next generation of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS). Q&P is a new route proposed to produce the third generation of AHSS.
Epidemiology of sleep complaints and cardiovascular disease in the community – EPICARSLEEP
EPICARSLEEP is a 4-year project in the primary prevention setting aiming to explore simultaneously four inter-related disease pathways (vulnerabilities) that could explain the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with sleep complaints. The role of (1) cardiovascular health, (2) psychosocial risk factors, (3) arterial stiffness and baroreflex sensitivity and (4) circulating microRNAs, inflammatory and non-inflammatory blood biomarkers will be examined.
Polycrystalline substrates and NAnoSHeet seed layers for low cost substrate – Polynash
Developments of the CSE approach (combinatorial Substrate Epitaxy) and 2D nanosheets seed layer
Using the most powerful explosion as probes of the high-redshift Universe – BEaPro
Thanks to their exceptional brightness, the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be used as extra-galactic background sources capable of unveiling the properties of the universe at different redshifts. The class of long GRBs (LGRB) is associated with the collapse of the most massive stars, making them a tool to investigate star formation in the early Universe.

The workers' socio-cultural worlds in the retail's logistic: geographically and socially disseminated ? A visual and cross-national ethnography in the world cities' backstages – WORKLOG
Starting points of the WORKLOG project are the new forms of work organization and the «proletarianization« in the tertiary sector. We focus on retail's logistic workers that occupy an intermediate position between industry and services. Observing their residential areas, consumption practices and leisure activities, we aim to analyse how they create their own socio-cultural spaces and to what extend they are autonomous or open to other influences.

Trade Liberalization and Exporter Dynamics – LICODYN
This project develops a theoretical model explaining the entry, growth and exit of French exporters. In this model, firms infer from their first export performance a signal of future success in entering other markets. This mechanism helps to explain the observed age-dependent dynamics of new exporters and creates a new channel through which bilateral trade liberalization has spillover effects on third countries.
