Tax expenditures and the fiscal contract – TEFISCON
The project aims to understand how tax expenditures, both direct and indirect, are perceived and how they affect the fiscal contract. The latter is an implicit contract between taxpayers and the State; in return for paying taxes, taxpayers expect the State to provide public services and allow them to participate in political decision-making. The often inequitable nature of tax expenditures can hinder this process.
The unequal impact of matching students with schools – MATCHINEQ
This ANR project investigated the unequal impact of matching students with schools. Many countries implemented policies to increase the freedom of choice, giving rise to mechanisms that allocate students to certain schools. A concern here is that the benefit of these choices might not be equally distributed. We investigate such concerns and potential solutions in three different contexts: school choice in Chile, centralized college matching in France and decentralized college matching in Canada.
Talking numbers – Language influences on number processing in different stages of life – TALKNUM
Linguistic irregularities of number naming systems such as inverted number words affect numerical skills and their development. Yet, the exact mechanisms behind this modulation are still unclear. Also, language impairments are often associated with impaired numerical processing. TALKNUM adopts a cross-linguistic approach to examine whether language shapes number processing.
Electron Transfer Reactivity of Organolanthanides: Insights from Spectroscopy and Theory – ReDivaLan
Although reports of lanthanide coordination complexes are extensive and concern most of the modern coordination chemistry, materials chemistry, spectroscopy and biologically relevant chemistry; those on organometallic lanthanide complexes or organolanthanides are rarer. It is only quite recently that the amount of those molecules – in term of different elements and numbers of publications-, increased with the work of several research laboratories.

Luwili: Luwian Religious Discourse Between Anatolia and Syria – Luwili
Luwian is an Indo-European language of Ancient Anatolia and Syria. Luwili aims at publishing untranslated religious texts in cuneiform Luwian in order to understand better the Luwian language. Luwili will also facilitate access to a new corpus of religious texts and study Luwian religious discourse from the comparative perspective. Its results will be an edition of Luwian cuneiform texts (also as an open source) and proceedings of the year two conference, published as two separate volumes.

Checking Image Integrity for Anticipating Influence Attacks – CI2(IA)
The availability of deepfake generation tools makes them easy to create and distribute. Their performance produces results that can deceive humans. In this context, the project aims to verify the reliability of visual information from journalists,<br />social networks, or foreign influences. This project addresses content integrity verification, i.e., the ability to determine whether a media file is a deepfake or not and whether it has malicious intent.<br /><br />Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
