Context

This call for proposals aims to support innovative research projects within IMI. The call includes a "classic" main component for funding research projects, and two complementary components designed to encourage the development of international exchanges and the training-research link. For the main component, the amount of the grant can be up to 25,000 euros, but a smaller amount can also be requested depending on the needs of the project. The complementary Internationally component provides funding for a stay by a foreign researcher (up to a maximum of 5,000 euros), while the Research component provides funding for an educational initiative based on the research project (up to a maximum of 5,000 euros).

  • Projects last 18 months.
  • The total budget for the main component is 100,000 euros.

Eligibility criteria

Research theme

This call for proposals is open to all research topics, and all subjects covered by the Institute are eligible. The main evaluation criterion is the scientific quality of the projects. Collaborative, multi-disciplinary and inter-laboratory projects are encouraged. In the application form, please provide details of the scientific context, including the state of the art, the positioning in relation to existing research, the research program and the expected spin-offs.

Research team

Projects must indicate the name of a project leader with whom the Institute's management will correspond. The entire team must be presented. The complementary nature of the team must be detailed. The role of non-permanent staff involved in the project (interns, PhD students, post docs) must also be specified. This call for proposals will not fund human resources (PhD students or post-docs, for example). It may, however, fund internship stipends.

Eligible expenses

The purpose of this call for proposals is to finance the operating and capital expenditure required to carry out the proposed scientific project. All expenses must be detailed, and in particular those relating to missions (from and/or to the institute) and internship gratification expenses. A quotation (or list price) must be provided for equipment purchases (any item costing more than 800 euros excluding VAT, unit value). When estimating the financial cost of the project, it is possible to include additional external funding. In this case, you need to specify the amount and whether it has already been obtained, applied for or is to be applied for.

    The aim of this project is to initiate collaborations in the framework of stochastic modelling for fluid dynamics. Taking into account uncertainties in physical phenomenon modelling is of major importance. There exist several methods dealing with data which take into account different sources of uncertainty. In this project, the main purpose is to use stochastic processes having the physical deterministic fluid dynamic model as average and taking into account expert knowledge. The project is in the crossroad of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics and data science.

    The aim of thid project is to determine the rheological properties of real mucus. Using a new transportable rheometer working on sample volumes as low as 70ul, we propose an exhaustive experimental characterization and a modelling of real mucus rheology in the context of improving the clearance process of patients, either suffering from chronical pathologies (severa Asthma, COPD or Cystic Fibrosis) or acute ones (such as COVID-19) that can lead to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrom.

    This project associates the complementary expertise of LMA (aero-acoustics, low frequency noise reduction), IRPHE (flow modelling and characterization) and CSIC (micro-perforated metamaterials) to investigate aero-acoustic solutions for aeronautics and wind turbine sectors: the development of slow sound metamaterials with acoustically neutral interfaces in order to achieve both flow-induced noise attenuation and low drag performance under sheared industrial flows.

    Non-linear dynamics is at the heart of sound production in a wide variety of musical instruments. Wind instruments (flutes, brasses, woodwinds) relying on self-sustained oscillations are heavily studied at LMA with existing experimental supports. Here, we here aim at developing teaching material to highlight the non-linear behavior of structures when vibrations amplitude become large. Such structures in a musical context correspond percussion instruments such as cymbals or gongs. More precsely, focus is put on the various sounds produced by large gongs, which have proved to display a wide range of behaviours, from linear modal regime to pitch glides or even chaos and wave turbulence.
