Comparative analysis around the mechanical knowledge development of Amerindian societies from Atacama and Chaco boréal. 1940 - current time – mecaniques-amerindiennes
The aim of this project is to describe and compare the construction of mechanical knowledge in indigenous societies of the Atacama Plateau and the Gran Chaco. We will approach the subject making four
BRONZE AND GLASS AS CULTURAL CATALYSTS AND TRACERS IN EARLY SOUTHEAST ASIA – BROGLASEA
Traditionally, India and China were seen as sources of Southeast Asian ‘civilisation’. BROGLASEA combines the study of copper-base alloys and glass, which constituted critical transmission media for ‘Chinese’ and ‘Indian’ ideologies and value systems. A detailed reconstruction of exchange networks identifies foreign influences and local responses during Southeast Asia’s steep cultural trajectory of the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Punk is not dead. A history of the punk scene in France (1976-2016) – PIND
PIND is the first research project dedicated to France’s punk scene from 1976 to today. PIND, an emphatically cross-disciplinary project, aims to take up a threefold challenge : that of being an objec

Synthesis and Sequencing of Information-Containing Macromolecules – 00111001
The aim of the project 00111001 is to prepare synthetic information-containing macromolecules. Polymers containing sequence-coded information exist in Nature (e.g. DNA) but not in manmade materials. I
Photoinduced bio-based coatings for antibacterial applications – sPECTRAL
Infections by pathogenic microorganisms are of great concern in many fields, particularly in medical devices, hospital surfaces/furniture, and surgery equipments. Approximately 64% of hospital-acquire
Synthesis, study and functionalization of redox-active molecular nanomagnets – ACTIVE-MAGNET
The miniaturization of electronic components is a major challenge. In computer sciences, it is expected by 2019 that Moore’s law will not be able to be respected with classical “top-down” strategies f

A computable account of human image reconstruction from natural scenes – ACCURATE
Our brain does not reconstruct images by simply putting together small elements to make bigger elements and ever more complex elements in a bottom-up fashion. Instead, our evolving interpretation of t
Developmental trajectories of sensorimotor control of mechanical tools – Developmental_Tool_Mastery
Along the evolutionary history, humans have reached a high level of sophistication in the way they interact with the environment. One important step in this process has been the introduction of tools,
