The extended CNRS & CNRS@CREATE team, composed of members of CNRS@CREATE DesCartes program and projects, as well as CNRS International Research Labs in Singapore.
A CNRS/CNRS@CREATE mini Symposium was held on January 19, 2023. It brought together all of our researchers and gave them the opportunity to meet, discuss, present some of their work and share on mutual interests to kick start this new year.
Each project/ CNRS International Research Lab prepared a poster presenting its topic, activities & main goals or milestones. They were dispalyed during the networking session.
Thank you to all the participants!
Pour la Science is a french magazine published monthly and dedicated to scientific popularization
Alexia Auffèves, Director of the International Research Laboratory MajuLab, specialized in quantum physics and based in Singapor, has written an article in the magazine “Pour la science” on quantum energy.
The article is on the cover of the February issue and is available (French only) via this link: https://www.pourlascience.fr/sd/physique/pour-la-science-n0544-24642.php
This month topic:
This is the story of an unprecedented encounter. That of thermodynamics, queen of the sciences of the 19th century, and of quantum physics, the rapidly expanding frontier of 21st century physics. The first one was born from the industrial revolution, and made the power of thermal machines. The second one is already living its second revolution: its theoretical foundations are solid, and it is now conquering the world of engineers. Quantum machines (computers, transmission and encryption devices…) are here. How to optimize them? How to develop computing power without soaring energy consumption? Can we really design an engine driven by the mere fact of measuring something? Answers, at the crossroads of science, in the new issue of Pour la Science.

2023 March session: closing on 18 February 2023
In order to strengthen cooperation in Science and Technology between France, Indonesia and East Timor, the French Embassy in Indonesia and East Timor is deploying a programme called “Science and Impact“. This programme is linked to other existing programmes and those in preparation, in order to offer a complete range of tools for cooperation in Science and Technology.
Types of projects eligible:
The amount allocated to each project may not exceed €10,000 (ten thousand euros); the average amount allocated per project since October 2016 is around €4,000 (four thousand euros).
The method used for the allocation of funding is that of a grant to the institution; having a legal personality in France. A certificate of non deduction of expenses by the institution is imperative before payment. No agreement will be established between the Embassy and the winning institution as it is a unilateral decision of funding.

The call is open until 31 October 2022
A new prize for bilateral collaborations, jointly managed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the Academy of Sciences for the 2022-2023 period as officially been launched: TREMPLIN ASEAN.
This call will award 22.000 euros (each) to six research projects with the aim of enhancing and strengthening pre-existing bilateral research cooperation between two research teams working together (a team working in France and a team from one of the 7 ASEAN countries).
The countries eligible for this call for projects are the following: Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam.
Please note that one of these six prizes will be partly funded by the French Embassy in Thailand and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, which will be reserved for a Franco-Thai project. It will be subject to the same evaluation criteria as the other projects.
The other five prizes will be awarded without discrimination among the eligible countries (including Thailand).
