Entrepreneurial fear of failure in times of the Covid-19 crisis: Antecedents, dimensions and consequences – A focus on entrepreneurs in the hotel, restaurant, bar and fitness industries – COVENTFOF
Small businesses in B2C industries have been particularly affected, specifically those that are “store-based” and can no longer welcome customers into their stores due to administrative closures, lockdowns, curfews and subsequent hygiene constraints. The small businesses that today are either closed or in real difficulty are mainly hotels, restaurants, bars and fitness centers. All these businesses are very important to the French economy in terms of dynamism, sales, employment, etc.
Humoral and cellular response following SARS Cov-2 vaccination in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus – COVALUS
Covid-19 vaccine has started in France in January 2021. It is unclear whether and how SLE patients will
Epidemic of Covid-19: Study of the Impact and the Profiles at Risk of Suicide among Students – ECLIPSE
Students ‘vulnerability to mental health problems is now certain, and the health crisis context of the COVID-19 epidemic may have further weakened this situation. While there is uncertainty about suicide risk in this period, it is likely that suicide risk will become a more pressing concern as the pandemic continues and has longer-term effects on fragile groups such as students.
Deciphering plant-microbiome interactions to enhance crop defense to bioagressors
champs (50 pour chaque espèce cultivée). Sur l’année 2021, les 50 parcelles de colza ont été mieux caractérisées
eXplaining Competency and Autonomy development in Learning Environments – xCALE
Our main objective in this project is to investigate how to support successfully self-regulated learning at a large scale, with an approach that aims to estimate online acquired skills levels and metacognitive levels about students to provide appropriate interventions.
Role of Tbx3 in directing the functional identity of POMC neurons in obesity – neuroIDobese
Chronic consumption of hypercaloric diets may trigger a ‘neuronal identity crisis’ in certain subpopulations of hypothalamic neurons due to the impaired action of the T-box gene 3 (Tbx3), a transcription factor that maintains hypothalamic neurons identity during postnatal life. Such a loss of identity may undermine the working machinery of POMC neurons, ultimately leading to obesity and its associated metabolic complications, albeit this hypothesis has yet to be investigated.

Design and evaluation of Covid screening strategies in various contexts based on empirical contact data – Coscreen
COSCREEN addresses the urgent and crucial need to design, validate and optimize new strategies of repeated testing and screening in contexts such as schools, offices, universities. We will design detailed realistic numerical simulations of the spread of COVID-19 that take into account the whole complexity of contacts between individuals by leveraging empirical high-resolution contact data. This will provide realistic scenarios and optimized policies for use by policy makers.
The NILE & AFAR areas: hydrological change sensitivity and impact on past human adaptation since 20,000 years – NILAFAR
The NILAFAR program aims to study the impact of hydrological fluctuations on societies at the transitionbetween hunter-gathering and agro-pastoralism in NE Africa over the last 20,000 years. Its objectives are to better understand the mechanisms at the origin of the intensity fluctuations of the African monsoon (external forcing and internal feedbacks of the climate system), and at the origin of episodes of hyperaridity that occurred over a few hundred years.
Genomics of invasion of the ladybug Harmonia axyridis – GANDHI
The ladybug Harmonia axyridis, an emblematic insect species to study color polymorphism, has emerged as a model species to study biological invasions. We will use complementary approaches (cf. modelling, statistical methods, genomics, experimental and functional analyses) to characterize the molecular footprints of adaptations that promoted the successful worldwide invasion of this species.
