“The links forged between fundamental research and partnership research are assets that foster innovation.” As part of the 2018 generic call for projects, 10 projects proposed by Mines Saint-Étienne were selected by the ANR across 6 different themes.
The School’s areas of excellence are represented in these projects, which benefit from one of the following funding instruments: Young Researchers (JCJC), Collaborative Research Projects (PRC), or Collaborative Research Project – Industry (PRCE).
• Health Technologies theme
– FIDELGLIO Project (PRCE): “Flexible and implantable bioelectronic devices for improving Glioblastoma treatment through electrical pulses,” led by Rodney O’Connor.
– PSIH Project (JCJC): “Integrated care pathways for elderly patients in hospital,” led by Vincent Augusto.
– NEURO-SENSE Project (PRC): “Epileptic high-frequency oscillations: biophysical models and optimization of recording and detection,” led by Fabrice Wendling / Esma Ismailova for the School.
• “Sustainable, clean, safe, and efficient energy” theme
– INNOHYD Project (JCJC): “Innovation in clathrate Hydrates for gas and energy storage,” coordinated by Baptiste Bouillot.
– ECOREVE Project (PRCE): “Architectured electrodes for the production of high-temperature water vapor electrolyzers,” coordinated by J.M. Bassat and Johan Debayle for the School.
• Global Security and Cybersecurity theme
– COFFI Project (PRCE): “Execution flow integrity: from software to microarchitecture,” coordinated by Olivier Potin.
• Metallic and inorganic materials and associated processes theme
– STAMP Project (PRCE): “Study of incremental and multiaxial forging processes for TA6V titanium alloys,” coordinated by Christophe Desrayaud.
• Life, health, well-being theme
– ARTERYLASTIC Project (PRC): “Physio-mechanical study of a synthetic elastic protein as a molecular prosthesis for treating arteriopathies related to elastic fiber defects,” coordinated by Romain Debret and Stéphane Avril.
• Sustainable mobility and urban systems theme
– FITS Project (PRC): “Flexible and Intelligent Transportation Systems,” coordinated by Nabil Absi and Thierry Garaix.
• ANR-DGA-ASTRID funding programme
– MAGIC Project: “Multi-scale camouflage,” coordinated by Jenny Faucheu.
