Realistic modelling for Earth's magnetic field reversals – revEarth
The reversals of the Earth's magnetic field remain mysterious in more than one way. The underlying mechanism is unknown.<br />Using more realistic numerical simulations, innovative numerical methods, and advanced theoretical approaches, we hope to lift the veil on this intriguing phenomenon.
Search engine for environmental genomic sequencing data – SeqDigger
New scaling breakthrough, allowing users to directly query large unassembled raw sequencing data on the fly in order to tap into the largest underexploited resource in life sciences.

Atmospheric River Climatology in Antarctica – ARCA
ARCA aims to describe atmospheric rivers (AR) in the polar regions by applying detection algorithms for these events on historical, current and future climate simulations. ARCA will evaluate their impact on the Antarctic surface mass balance. ARCA will also analyze the extent to which moisture transported by ARs has a particular isotopic and chemical signature and assess whether these events can be traced in ice cores.
EcoHealth approach for the evaluation of SDHI fungicides use: exposome and hazards for biodiversity and human health – SoEcohealth
This project focuses on Succinate DeHydrogenase Inhibitors (SDHI), a family of fungicides that has been increasingly used over the past ten years. SDHI share the feature of inhibiting the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a universal key mitochondrial enzyme involved in cellular respiration and the Krebs cycle.
Pestilences and human societies: emergence, evolution and bio-cultural transformations – PSCHEET
This project intends to widen reflection on past plague mortality crises by combining textual, archaeological and biological data from several European burial sites. We wish to engage interdisciplinary and innovative research on the Justinian plague) and on ancient, supposedly plague, epidemics. The two main objectives are : to track pestilences itineraries and to analyse and interpret their social and cultural impact.
Emergent communication through curiosity-driven multi-agent reinforcement learning – ECOCURL
The ECOCURL project proposes to leverage recent contributions in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning to study how compositional communication systems can emerge in artificial agent populations and support the open-ended discovery of increasingly complex cooperative strategies. The results of the project will be eventually demonstrated in a rich 3D environment and disseminated in the scientific community and high-visibility outreach events.
Distribution of HYdrogen in the protoplanetary Disk and deliveRy to the Terrestrial planEts – HYDRaTE
Although hydrogen is the most abundant element of the Solar System, little is known about its distribution among planetary materials. In particular, the question of the origin of hydrogen -and thus water- on Earth, Mars or the Moon remains highly debated. The HYDRaTE project proposes to use primitive meteorites, chondrites, as witnesses for the building blocks of planets to bring clues on the hydrogen distribution in the protoplanetary disk materials.
Role of intracellular trafficking in the control of Immunoglobulin Receptor-mediated diseases – IDEA
Internalization of receptor-ligand complexes can either terminate or amplify and sustain receptor signaling. However, the role of endocytosis in the signaling of FcR have never been investigated. The hypothesis of the IDEA project, which is supported by our preliminary data, lift “the scientific barrier” of exclusive signaling of FcR from the plasma membrane.
