Social dimension of primates’ peripersonal space – MySPACE
The aim was to shed new light on the social modulation of space close to the body, by exploring its behavioral determinants and neural markers. In our social world, a comfort zone is necessary to regulate the distance between oneself and others and to avoid discomfort. Our hypothesis was that the space of communication and interaction with social information close to the body reflects an integration of our goals and our internal state.
Social Uses of War Ruins: Resilience, Commemorations and Heritage – RUINES
The purpose of the RUINES project is to analyse the evolution of political and social uses of wae ruines from 16th c. to the present day, as vehicles and symptoms of a systematic historical view characterised by the conversion of warlike events as tokens of a contemporary world that is essentially catastrophic and traumatic.. The central hypothesis is that the way in which societies relate to the vestiges of war says something about how they relate to the past.
Social Transformation in South African Science and Innovation – STIS
This project investigates the integration of excluded groups into social collectives, with an empirical focus on the racial transformation of the South African science system. It addresses an attempt to accelerate changes in response to decades of systematic denial of opportunity to particular groups in society.
Social Choice and Social Networks – SCONE
Collective decision methods (elections, participatory budgeting, matching, comittee voting, judgment aggregation…), as traditionally studied in the field of (computational) social choice, do not take into account the existence of a network relating the decision-makers.
Smart machine-tool and HSM process with Emma – SmartEmma
New data mining decision support system for intelligent machine tools.
Smart Pillared Carbon Materials for Supercapacitors: from fundamental understanding of ion transport to device testing – SPICS
A gain in capacity of EDLC is expected to be enabled by the use of pillared graphene with controlled 2D porosities, in standard electrolyte medium, but also in ionic liquid, opening the way to manufacture an all-solid-state supercapacitor with enhanced storage properties.
Smart Autonomous Microscopy – SAMic
Our goal is to automate disturbance microscopy experiments for non-expert microscopy users and HCS applications.
Single-ion hybrid polymer electrolytes for Li-metal battery – SELPHy
Lithium-metal batteries with solid electrolyte operating at room temperature with high level of performance and safety are essential to meet the growing demand for mobile and stationary storage systems that lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolyte will not allow.
Single Nanopore for Analysis of Early Stages of ß-Amyloid Aggregation Leading to Alzheimer’s disease – NANOoligo
Developing tools for amyloid fibrils analysis at early stage able to discriminate the different population of oligomers and protofibrils and to evaluate the impact of promoters or inhibitors through amyloid shape analysis is particularly important to understand the external factor on Alzheimer disease. Our project aims at proposing a new analytical method based on nanopore technology to study the Aß42 amyloid fibril growth.
Single Granule oMics to support starch synthetic biochemistry – SinGraMics
promising way for atmospheric carbon capture. In 2021, starch-like polymers were successfully synthesized
