Floating treatment wetland for agri-food effluent tertiary treatment – FloWAT
A Nature-Based Solution to mitigate the impacts on the receiving environment
Nanowire based electrodes engineering for photocatalysis – BEEP
Are semiconductor nanowires better than thin films for hydrogen generation?
Humans and deer during the Palaeolithic: integrating the variability of prey ecology and ethology in the investigation of past human – environment interactions – DeerPal
In the context of an ongoing mass extinction event, wild animals are now facing the double challenge imposed by direct human alteration of their habitat as well as the indirect consequences of climate change. While research on modern populations provides data on the impact of human land use and how to compensate for it, the response of large mammals to climate change is harder to grasp and subsequently predict without a deep-time perspective.
Deciphering the cell heterogeneity and the spatial distribution of pathogens in food matrices in interaction with microbial communities – PathoFood
For microbial risk management, current regulatory affairs provide food safety recommendations and rules essentially based on a threshold, which does not take into account the heterogeneity of the pathogen population within the complex environment of food matrices. Phenotypic heterogeneity at single-cell level is an intrinsic feature of foodborne pathogens to be considered for controlling food safety and develop relevant quantitative microbial risk assessment.
Urban Cooling by Trees – Assessing and Modeling for Designing Sustainable Cities – COOLTREES
Among adaptation strategies of cities to climate change, « greening » cities i.e. reintroducing trees within cities, is probably a promising way since trees through transpir ation and shading have a significant impact on the heat balance of the surrounding atmosphere. The first general objective of COOLTREES is to assess and model the evapotranspiration of urban trees in relation with their environments, and to relate their role in the urban climate with their structural and functional traits.
High-rise living and the inclusive city (HIGHRISE) – HIGHRISE
Living high together in the globalized metropolis
Developing the cellulolytic bacteria Clostridium phytofermentans and Clostridium cellulolyticum as catalysts to convert plant biomass into higher alcohols – Phytocell
Biorefineries that convert biomass into fuels and commodities are a potential, renewable alternative to today’s oil refineries. This project works towards the development of microbes that directly transform lignocellulosic biomass into butanol, an attractive solvent and fuel.
Family and inequality – FAMINEQ
Over the past 50 years, industrialized countries have experienced profound economic and demographic changes. These changes concern the distribution of income between individuals and the family structure in which these individuals live (lower nuptiality and birth rates, delays in cohabitation, increase in the number of divorces and single parenthood).
Integrating FInanciaL HEAlth in Supply Chain Management – FILEAS-FOG
Faced with today's challenges, industries have adapted by developing managerial strategies aimed at improving their competitiveness, sustainability and development. The competitiveness of supply chains depends not only on industrial optimization, but also on the optimization of financial decisions, in terms of financial cost reduction, risk management and financial strategy within each company and for the supply chain as a whole.
VIRTualization of Experimental facilities in structural aCoustics by wall pressure syntHesis – VIRTECH
Virtualize costly and energy-intensive acoustic testing resources by exploiting source networks to reproduce exciting pressure fields.
