Emergence of Video Art in Europe (1960-1980): History, Theory, Sources and Archives – EMERGENCE1960-1980
To date, no Europe-wide history of video art exists. This research project seeks to address this gap and offer a counterweight to the decades-long America-centric slant of specialist literature in this area. The project seeks to assess not only the very rich and varied video production in Europe but
Aerosol-Cloud Interactions: the role of organic compounds on cloud droplet activation – ORACLE
Cloud droplets in the Earth’s atmosphere form on ubiquitous aerosol particles. Predictions of cloud droplet size and number concentration derived from aerosol properties are still poor, leading to large uncertainties in the radiation budget and climate projections. Cloud droplet formation on cloud c
Mountain huts as observatories of tourism transition. The repositioning of less-developed mountain areas and their related professions in the French-Swiss Alps – HutObsTour
Mountain huts as observatories of the tourism transition The repositioning of less-developed mountain areas and their related professions in the French-Swiss Alps The project is consistent with a context of strong adaptive injunction of mountain tourism destinations in the face of the cumu
Overtourism? Cities count – OVERTOURISM
In the current context of the overtourism controversy in European cities, a polemic that could be exacerbated by the role of human mobility in the Covid-19 health crisis, the argument of numbers is central. This controversy emerges from 2015 onwards with criticisms, demands and resistance to tourism
Exploring lymphatic endothelium – innate immune system crosstalk in lymph nodes and its impact on adaptive immunity – Lymphinnate
Lymph nodes (LN) are prototypical lymphoid organs where adaptive immune responses against local infections are initiated. It has become well established that peripheral dendritic cells (DC) arriving from afferent lymphatic vessels in the subcapsular sinus (SCS) migrate via the interfollicular areas
PRojection of the Oral language to PICTOgraphic units – PROPICTO
PROPICTO aims to develop a research axis focusing on alternative and augmentative communication, with a special focus on the automatic transcription of French speech into pictographic representation. PROPICTO addresses many societal needs in the field of disability (communicating with people with co
FLAME RETARDATION OF PLA via REACTIVE EXTRUSION – PLARE
The goal of this project is to improve flame retardancy of polylactide (PLA) by chemical modification conducted via reactive extrusion process. The main objective is the incorporation of phosphorus-based moieties in the PLA matrix or backbone, these molecules being known to be efficient as flame ret
Multi-omic analysis of anti-viral immunity: From the identification of relevant biological pathways to the discovery of inborn errors of immunity – GENVIR
Viral infections remain a major threat for humankind with a number of alarming signs including 1) the limited effect or the absence of vaccines and/or efficient anti-viral drugs against a large number of viral infections, and 2) the recurrent emergence of new viral infections as attested by the rece
Understanding and exploiting oxidative modifications by modular polyketide synthases – PKSOx
The modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) of bacteria assemble a wealth of complex natural products of high clinical value. These giant multifunctional proteins contain enzyme modules, each of which sequentially elongates the polyketide chain and introduces a particular functional group. While textboo
Autophagy-related genes in viral infections and antigen processing by B cells – AURIGENE
B cells are precursors of antibody-producing cells. They are also professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) that can activate both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells through presentation of peptides in the context of major histocompatibility (MHC) class II and class I molecules, respectively. B cells are targ
