Terrorism, Radicalization and Government Policy in MENA (TMENA2) – TMENA2
This proposal makes a strong case for the research into the dynamics and drivers of radicalism and highlights the relevance of this research to European countries. It also shows awareness of wide range of sophisticated methodologies and datasets and the intention to use these techniques in the analy
Mapping the dynamics of emerging technologies – MDET
This proposal aims to deepen our understanding of how new technologies emerge. To do so, we investigate the knowledge communities formed during the process of technology creation, and their institutions, visions and expectations. Understanding these communities is important because they are the main
Grounding Early Time Perception in Motor Activity – GETPIMA
The goal of this project is to investigate the role of embodiment – specifically, infant motor activity – in the early development of time perception. Typically, adults from all cultures and backgrounds can accurately anticipate short-term events, can catch objects thrown to them, and can perform th
Territories and technologies in an unstable knowledge economy: an evolutionary framework of regional resilience – T-RES
This project aims to develop theoretical and empirical researches on the critical determinants of regional resilience, and to produce some renewed policy implications for the European knowledge economy. Contemporary economic systems are featured by a high rate of technological cycles and an increasi
Implementation of Developmental Learning – IDEAL
This project consists of implementing a mechanism of early-stage developmental Learning (Piaget, 1937) in an artificial agent situated in a simulated environment. More precisely, we will implement a mechanism for the agent to autonomously engage in a bottom-up process of hierarchical organization of
ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF CELL POLARIZATION – COELPOCE
Cell polarity plays a key role in regulating cell-cell communication, tissue architecture and development. Both internal and external cues participate in directing polarity and feedback onto each other for robust polarization. One poorly appreciated layer of polarity regulation comes from electroch
Periodic nanostructures imprinted on polymers for electromagnetic applications – N-POEM
The aim of N-POEM proposal is to design, fabricate and characterize emerging periodic nanostructures for three electromagnetic and optical functionalities: microwave regime absorption, filtering and antireflecting. These materials are based on strongly coupled periodic structures composed of sub-mic
sRNA targeted to the mRNA coding sequence: down regulation of expression by mRNA destabilization in the absence of translational repression. – Target: CdS
The potential of RNA molecules to exert regulatory functions in conjunction with auxiliary proteins has only recently been recognized and has emerged as a major field in molecular biology and biomedical research. In enterobacteria, such molecules constitute an ever-growing class of regulators of str
Global Geographies : Towards a regional system in the Middle East – SYSREMO
cf. rapport cf. rapport cf. rapport cf. rapport The research project SYSREMO (Global Geographies: Towards a regional system in the Middle East) is based on the hypothesis that economic and social transnational processes are reshaping the Middle East. These transnational networks and flows are increa
Radical Events and Life Reconstruction (anthropological approach in the context of India) – RUPTURES
The Ruptures program began in December 2010 at the Centre for South Asian studies, Paris, thanks to a funding from the French national research agency. Its main objective was to provide a platform to reflect upon phenomena of rupture when the existence of individuals or groups becomes radically rede
