In this archipelagic territory, our objective is to assess the role of the implantation of public services (education, health, transport), of economic development zones and more generally of the territorial organization supported by all policies on population settlement. On the other hand, by examin

The project takes as its starting point the observation of an increasing spinning-off of collaborative workspaces outside metropolitan centers, in parallel with the digitalization of society. This phenomenon is part of more global societal transformation trends that concern ways of working and organ

The impact of urban development on water resources is a major issue. It is particularly acute for near surface urban groundwater. In Paris, these groundwater, once providing drinking water, are now disused. Understanding their present and past chemical status would be extremely useful to assess past

The growing concentration of people in urban areas translates into increasing travel demand, degrading mobility experience and frequent unavailability or inaccessibility of the transport infrastructures, especially in presence of inclement or extreme weather events. Contextually, the urban environm

There are 3 objectives : - The analysis of the liquid water content on the mechanical behavour in rammed earth. We aim to characterize : compressive strength, Young modulous, cohesion and friction angles. - The modelling of the hydromechanical behaviour, using the concept of effective stress, us

The objective of the MAMIES project is to develop a new methodology for identifying aeroacoustic sources in wind tunnels. This type of sources, resulting from the interaction of a flow and an obstacle, is at the origin of noise emissions in the environment, for example for transport or certain noise

The research questions the sustainable development of territorial systems in a context of increased financial austerity. It explores two main hypotheses. Firstly, the rationalities, instruments and practices associated to budgetary rigour influence the priorities and content of local public action

The COOLSCAPES project’s aim is to study these spatio-climatic devices within their physical, use and sensory dimensions. A better understanding of their effects will help identifying the appropriate cooling techniques for the populations facing the future climate. Three specific objectives lead thi

The project tackle both applied and basic research issues using an original experimental neuroergonomics approach. AUTODRIVE will bring original data on human-machine cooperation, mental representations, cognitive control and brain processes depending on the characteristics of the automation used ov

Based on bioinspired models of superoleophobic surface texture and composition, from natural species such as springtails, the BIOSCA project gathers two research laboratories specialized in bio-inspired surface functionalization, and two major actors of the automotive industry. It combines 1) the pr

Intense long-period ground motions are usually induced at large distances from the source by large subduction-zone earthquakes (e.g. 2003 Tokachi-Oki, Japan, Mw 8.3) and moderate-to-large crustal earthquakes (e.g. 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Mw 7.6). Usually, long-period ground motions consist primarily o

Scientific Objective & Working Hypotheses 1: Distortions of subjective time perception as a function of the moments in real-time transportation. Our first objective will be dedicated to survey the un-/under-explored real-life experience of time distortions. Scientific Objective & Working Hypothese

The project FITS aims at proposing novel mathematical models and solution approaches in order to develop intelligent tools to help optimizing the delivery of services (such as care or maintenance deliveries) to customers located potentially at home. Service providers have human resources (possibly o

Cultural and creative activities are at the heart of the profound changes that are currently affecting urban societies, their territories and their development. It challenges public policies as they constitute a powerful vector of innovation, resilience of industrial territories, the production of s

The major scientific objectives addressed within POLEMICS are synthetized below: 1. to characterize and quantify novel or poorly characterized gaseous compounds are emitted by Euro 6 light-duty vehicles (as reduced nitrogen compounds, oxygenated compounds, intermediate-volatility OCs compounds)

Detection, localization and characterization of horizontal or vertical embedded cracks are important diagnosis elements which influence the application of maintenance and management policies. These defects are characteristic of the degradation state of the structure. The geometrical characteristics

1) To determine the mechanism behind vPM formation in the engine exhaust and if there is a link with fuel composition 2) To establish a sampling protocol for vPM measurements that can be used in certification processes 3) To determine the impact of fuel chemical composition on the physico-chemica

The objective of the UrbaTime program was to understand how the issue of time is addressed within urban planning practices. This program was conceived as the initial step in a broader effort to develop a shared framework for understanding the roles and impacts of time on the sustainability of urban

The UMat4CC project pertains to climate change adaptation for cities, specifically against heat-waves. Indeed, cities are particularly heat-sensitive, namely due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This challenge threatens both outdoor and indoor microclimates. Furthermore, urban decision makers

The concept of “social cohesion”, which has its origins in Émile Durkheim's notion of “collective consciousness”, has been widely studied in sociology and social psychology. In economics, although less frequently studied, research has focused more on understanding how social cohesion influences econ
