Vibrational Circular Dichroism as a Probe of Non-Covalent Interactions – Dichroprobe
The Dichroprobe project aims at probing the conformation of flexible chiral molecules, in interaction with a solvent or in the solid, by vibrational circular dichroïsm spectroscopy (VCD). It will combine experiments and the development of unprecedented time-dependent methods resting on polarisable force fields or first-principles molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the interpretation of VCD spectra.
Psychological disengagement and self-esteem : a vicious cycle of dropping out of school ? – DISESTEEM
We investigate four potential predictors of school disengagement: a disadvantaged family background, unfavourable and unfair treatment by a teacher or peers, or membership of a disadvantaged social group. Our aim is first to show that the feeling of relative deprivation mediates the link between the main predictors and school disengagement. Second, we will study the consequences of this disengagement on self-esteem, emotions, and performance.
Chirped Pulse And Resonator In one Spectrometer: A novel combined molecular jet chirped pulse/cavity Fourier Transform MicroWave spectrometer for fast scan, high-resolution, and chiral discrimination – PARIS-FTMW
The chirped Pulse And Resonator In one Spectrometer (PARIS) applies an innovative and resource-efficient approach: Using a smart design, most electronic components are used in a dual-purpose spectrometer while almost all vacuum equipment are shared. Therefore, PARIS is built at much lower costs than two individual spectrometers and exceeds the advantages of both techniques individually: Rapid broadband capabilities, intensity reliability, as well as unrivalled resolving power and sensitivity.

#CreaMaker: assessment of co-creativity in a maker-based activity combining tinkering and digital fabrication – CreaMaker
Creativity has been mostly studied from an individual point of view in the field of psychology. Nevertheless, there is a growing number of studies in the field of education in team-based activities in different types of creative projects, such maker based education. The ANR #CreaMaker project aims to advance the knowledge of creativity and co-creativity process not only in same-age teams but also in intergenerational ones, in ill-defined problem solving with educational robotic technologies.
Impact of a school-based autism anti-stigma intervention: the IDEAL program – IDEAL
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social communication and the presence of restricted interests and stereotyped behaviors, with a current prevalence estimated at around 1 in 100 children. Today, more and more children with ASD have access to schooling (National Disability Conference, 2016). However, the challenge of inclusive schooling is still far from being met.
Development of a system for production of biobricks by directed evolution in the bacterium Bacillus subtilis – BioBrickEvolver
Directed evolution is recognized as a key approach to obtain biobricks for synthetic biology. In this context there is a considerable interest in the development of continuous systems for directed evolution of biomolecules based on “orthogonal” evolution vector on which accumulation of mutations can be uncoupled from accumulation of mutations on the host genome.
Imaging Spatial and Social Brain Networks in Primates with a “CIM2” approach (Comparative, Immersive, Multimodal and Multicentric) – CIM2
Spatial and social cognitions are two fundamental components of human intelligence, coping with the physical and social dimensions of the environment. Despite extensive efforts, our knowledge of the underlying brain mechanisms is still fragmented and incomplete, and 3 central questions remain largely unanswered:<br />1-What are the brain networks supporting spatial and social cognitions?<br />2-What are the relationships between spatial and social networks?<br />3-What are their specificities in humans?
Pristine — A survey of the first Galactic stars – Pristine
The most efficient path to understanding the formation of the Milky Way into a disk galaxy during the first few billion years of the universe is to search for, map, and study the dynamics of primordial stars as these stars are the only remaining witnesses of these very early times.
