For the 40 years of cooperation between CNRS and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), Antoine Petit, Chairman and CEO of CNRS, visited Vietnam on November 27 and 28.

This visit was the opportunity to meet researchers from the VAST, but also from the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM), both partners of CNRS in the international research laboratory FVMA “France-Vietnam in Mathematics and its Applications”.

The CNRS delegation also visited the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) premises, where CNRS and IRD researchers presented their work on joint projects.

Lastly, Antoine Petit met the French and European Union ambassadors in Vietnam, Olivier Brochet and Julien Guerrier.

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 sciences - Couverture

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 

 

Pour la science 1

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 objective of this programme is to facilitate the operational implementation of specific actions within an existing framework of Franco-Indonesian cooperation (public, private or non-governmental structures).
  • A visible achievement is expected from each action that will be funded by this programme in order to illustrate the Impacts of Science, in particular in the framework of the cooperation between France and Indonesia.
  • No restrictions on scientific themes apply. Particular attention will be paid to projects that are part of a sustainable cooperation.

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.
