The practice of sustainable mobility in Latin American cities: a comparative study of Bogotá (Colombia) and Lima (Peru) – MODURAL
The project examines the sustainability of commuting to work and to places of study in two Latin American metropolises (Bogotá and Lima). The latter bring together 10 million inhabitants and are marked by strong socio-residential segregation and a growth model that favours sprawl on the outskirts ra
Preliminary announcement: an international call for proposals on Bio-based replacement products, technologies and processes will be launched soon
ERA CoBioTech aims to connect research partners with different but complementary scientific and technological expertises to improve and accelerate technology transfer and also strengthen European efforts to achieve sustainable industrial development in the field of biotechnologies applied to bioecon
AquaticPollutants Joint Transnational Call 2020 for proposals on Risks posed to human health and the environment by pollutants and pathogens present in water resources
The call will support research and innovation projects that establish integrated and cross-sectoral approaches for risk-management combining the research areas of contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs), pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. The whole water cycle, from the source through the rive
Between Composition and Reception : the Authority of Medieval Charters – BeCoRe
The scribe laying down a charter did so in the expectation of its (maybe fictive?) reception by a third part, a third part which had to be convinced of the charter's validity, beyond the judicial control of formal authenticity. A charter was also the carrier of the outward expression of validity, an
Changes in political work through the prism of big data – MUTADATA
This current study intends to analyze how big data analysts and scientists challenge political communication and political professionalization. Big data may introduce fundamental changes within political work but their impacts remain unknown. What does the introduction of Big data do to political wo
Middle Classes, Taxation and Democracy in a Globalized World – MIDDLECLASS
Part 1 explores the methods of redistribution of wealth, with a particular focus on the tax burden weighing on the middle classes. Part 2 aims to estimate the impact of the evolution, both real and as relayed by the media, of the socio-fiscal system on the vote of the extreme right. This analysis wi
Towards Sustainability of Soils and Groundwater for Society - Belmont Soils 2021
The goal of this CRA is to produce the necessary knowledge and propose solutions to maintain well-functioning soils and groundwater systems in the Critical Zone through: Better understanding of the long-time dynamics and functions of soils and groundwater, impacts from societal (including econo
Bayesian learning of expensive models, with applications to cell biology – Baccarat
Biologists develop intricate models of cells, ecologists model the dynamics of ecosystems at a world scale. A single evaluation of such complex models takes minutes or hours on today’s hardware and fitting probabilistic models to biological data can require millions of serial evaluations. Monte Carl
Co-construction of adaptation scenarios for managing coastal risks in the context of climate change in coastal communities in France and Quebec – ARICO
Against a backdrop of climate change and the concentration of human and built stakes on the coasts, the risks of coastal erosion and marine submersion are constantly increasing, both on the French and Quebec coasts. Projecting these vulnerable areas into a sustainable future is becoming a challenge
Selecting for cooperative crops to develop sustainable agriculture – SCOOP
In agriculture, intraspecific competition is undesirable, since it drives the evolution of traits toward phenotypic values lowering group performance. Plant height is a well-documented example: tall plants win access to light over shorter plants by diverting resources to vegetative structures, which
