Workers on tap. The social impact of platform capitalism – CAPLA
The Capla research program aims at analyzing the social effects of the rise of platforms. Those platforms are considered as new labor market places, where workers are independent, and sometimes amateurs. We seek to analyze work practices, employment statuses, social protection levels, but also the impact on professionals, or the repercussions on the private life of those digital workers.
Digital Ties and (mobile) Information and Communication Technologies – LiSTIC
As social media are mainly consulted on mobile phones, their specificities, and those of mobile applications, should be considered in order to understand the effects of these services on sociabilities, social networks and our democracy. LisTIC explores these nomadic forms of participation, developed via the uses of social media apps, by using a mixed method research protocol, combining qualitative methods with one's specific to digital humanities.
Mechanics of OsteoClast bone degradation machinery: Deciphering the architecture, force and functional relationship of podosomes in human osteoclasts – MechanOCs
Osteoclasts are specialized cells that have developed efficient and unique machinery to tightly adhere to the bone surface and perform bone resorption: the sealing zone. The sealing zone is composed of highly inter-connected podosomes. Here, we hypothesized that the specific continuous podosome structure in osteoclasts exerts a coordinated protrusive force and probes bone biomechanical properties, which is instrumental for efficient sealing to bone and bone degradation.

A comparative and transnational history of migration policies towards exiles and refugees in nineteenth-century Europe (1815-1870) – AsileuropeXIX
In 19th-century Europe, political exile began to emerge as a form of mass migration and political commitment. In order to tackle that major shift, the research project focuses on the 1830s-1870s, a time period which was a crucial for the gradual definition of political exile and asylum, but also for the implementation of new policies towards foreign victims of ideological repression.

Significance of the Past LArge Semiaquatic Herbivores: evolutionary history of a polyvalent ecological niche within Cetartiodactyla – SPLASH
SPLASH étudie les relations entre le mode de vie semi-aquatique (amphibie) et les milieux humides chez les hippopotames et leurs parents disparus au cours des 50 derniers millions d’années. Le rôle écologique clef de ces animaux est décrypté afin de tester l’impact des changements environnementaux passés dans un cadre biologique contraint
Genetic bases and evolutionary consequences of symbiont-driven sex determination – CytoSexDet
Les objectifs du projet sont d'élucider les bases génétiques et l'impact évolutif du déterminisme cytoplasmique du sexe dans deux systèmes hôte-endosymbiote distincts : (i) les isopodes terrestres et leurs endosymbiotes procaryotes Wolbachia, et (ii) les amphipodes d'eau douce et leurs endosymbiotes eucaryotes microsporidies.
ECOLOGICAL AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL IMPLICATIONS OF GLYCOSIDASES BOUND TO MARINE VIRUSES – CALYpSO
Viruses mediates one the largest carbon flux in the oceans. However, little is known on the mechanisms underlying virus-host interactions and their regulation by environmental conditions. As a result, virus activities are still omitted in current ecosystem based model applicable for climate predictions while the significance of these activities is internationally acknowledged. CALYpSO proposes to explore the implications viral polysaccharidases for virus activities and ocean biogeochemistry.
Influence of admixture histories on the genetic evolution of hybrid populations – METHIS
Etudier l’ADN permet de retracer l’histoire démographique, migratoire et adaptative des espèces. De nombreux évènements de métissages et d’hybridations émaillent ces histoires évolutives et laissent une signature complexe dans l’ADN des descendants. Le projet METHIS vise à reconstruire ces histoires à partir de l’ADN des populations actuelles.
