Long-term Thematic Projects CHIMie durable pour l'ENErgie (CHIMENE)
Objectives - Sustainable chemistry to meet major societal challenges
The objectives of the CHIMENE Long-Term Thematic Project (PTL) are :
- Attract and train a new generation of top-level researchers andProfessors , and perpetuate the scientific excellence of the cluster's teams;
- Enhance the attractiveness of the site by creating a leverage effect on other competitive, high-visibility funding sources, notably national (CNRS, ANR, etc.) and European (MSCA, ERC, etc.);
- To anchor sustainable development as a common thread running through all the scientific projects we support.
- Anchor research at territorial and international levels.
Its ambition is to meet the challenges of the energy transition by placing sustainable development at the heart of the research process.
Themes
Call for projects - Support for emerging talent
To meet these ambitions, the PTL is supported by two annual calls for projects:
- TALENTS: funding for four long-term (18-month) researcher fixed-term contracts, with €8,000 for operating costs per contract.
- NEXT: funding for twelve Master 2 internships (6 months), including gratification and operating resources.
A mentoring program is offered to recipients of Master 2 internship grants (NEXT) with the following objectives:
- Support in applying for competitive calls for proposals (MSCA, ERC, ANR, etc.);
- Preparation and support for competitions for permanent positions (CNRS, MCU, etc.).
- Identification of thesis projects to be pursued within the Chemistry cluster;
