Ecological Fitness of Light Color Acclimation in Marine Cyanobacteria: a Cross-Scale Analysis – EFFICACY
Global change is predicted to have numerous consequences on ocean properties and notably on ‘ocean color’, used by modelers to assess chlorophyll biomass at global scales. For phytoplankton cells, changes in ocean color are perceived as a modification of their light niche and trigger competition between species, resulting in dramatic changes in community composition. The EFFICACY project therefore tackles the question of the respective fitness of phytoplankton species to adapt to these changes.
Shared-Control Algorithms for Human/Multi-Robot Cooperation – MULTISHARED
The goal of MULTISHARED is to significantly advance the state-of-the-art in multi-robot autonomy and human-multi-robot interaction for allowing a human operator to intuitively control the coordinated motion of multi-UAV group, with a strong emphasis on the division of roles between multi-robot autonomy and human intervention/guidance for providing high-level commands to the group while being most aware of the group status via VR and haptics technology.
Regulatory networks governing craniofacial muscle diversity – MyoHead
Craniofacial malformations are among the most common human birth defects and have multiple etiologies that affect diverse tissues. The underlying genetic, developmental and clinical causes of these malformations are largely unknown. Therefore we aim to identify all of the cell types that give rise to craniofacial structures and the molecular regulators that lead to the establishment and morphogenesis of the various cell lineages in the head.
SPIRO-QUinolinophenothiazines as Efficient Semi-conducTors for single-layer phosphorescent OLEDs – SPIRO-QUEST
To date, all the high efficiency Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (PhOLEDs) are multi-layer devices, built on a stack of layers. Simplifying the multi-layers structure with the so-called Single-Layer PhOLEDs (SL-PhOLEDs), the simplest device only made of the electrodes and the emitting layer is a key step. However, high-efficiency SL-PhOLEDs are rarely reported, due to the lack of efficient host materials. SPIROQUEST aims to reach universal materials for high performance SL-PhOLEDs.
Towards exoskeleton-human symbiosis: investigating how humans interact with an upper-limb robotic exoskeleton – EXOMAN
The use of robotic exoskeletons is promising in the fields of health and work ergonomics, but the lack of understanding of human motor control in interaction with this type of device remains a factor limiting their effectiveness.
demographics of planets close to their birth place & their occurrence in the disk and the bar of our Galaxy. – COLD-WORLDS
Cold Worlds uses the gravitational microlensing technique to explore a unique niche: cold planets with masses as small as the Earth orbiting all types of stars (even stellar remnants), old planets in large orbits, free planets (i.e. not bound to a star) and even exolunes orbiting extra-solar planets.

Super-resolution imaging of bacterial division – DIVinHD
Using complementary cellular and structural biology approaches, the DIVinHD project has provided information that allowed to better understand how, at the molecular scale, the assembly and activity of the cell wall synthesis machineries contribute to cell morphogenesis and division in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. These studies have thus provided new and necessary knowledge for the discovery of new antibiotics.
Non linear Atmospheric Response to Sea surface temperature for a physically consistent ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) paradigm – ARiSE
ENSO is the dominant climate variability phenomenon on earth. It develops as the result of air-sea interactions in the tropical Pacific, and has major societal impacts globally. Understanding and modelling ENSO correctly is thus a pre-requisite for seasonal climate prediction. ENSO’s warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) phases are not symmetrical, with much larger amplitude (extreme) El Niño than La Niña events.
Development of an eXtended Friction Energy –third body Wear approach to predict the fretting wear rate of metallic interfaces. – X-FEW
This project aims at developing a new wear model that unifies the energy approaches (wear volume as a function of friction work dissipated in the interface), the third body theory (ejection flow of the debris bed from the interface) and the contact oxygenation concept (oxygen present in the debris bed modifies the wear process).
