France · Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Who can apply Commune · Intercommunalité / Pays

In the field of live performance dissemination, whatever the discipline offered, the intervention of the departmental community aims to support organizers of cultural events or cultural seasons, who offer in the Landes territory a program based on creations led by professional artists, who arrange venues to best accommodate works, audiences and artists, and who implement a mode of action likely to retain spectators. Among its intervention priorities, the Department is committed to supporting projects that commit to promoting qualitative access to culture for audiences who are most distant from it, as well as those that develop action programs that contribute to the artistic and cultural education of young people. It also pays particular attention to projects that aim to ensure the diversity of live performance offerings in the Landes territory, by promoting the least present aesthetics and disciplines, and to those that support professional artistic excellence. The departmental aid aims to reinforce that provided locally by municipalities, groups of municipalities or other public partners. It accompanies the financial effort committed in terms of programming and technical management. The amount of the intervention…

Catalysis

United States · US

Who can apply Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"

The Catalysis program is part of the Chemical Process Systems cluster, which also includes: 1) the Electrochemical Systems program; 2) the Interfacial Engineering program; and 3) the Process Systems, Reaction Engineering, and Molecular Thermodynamics program. The goals of the Catalysis program are to increase fundamental understanding in catalytic engineering science and to advance the development of catalysts and catalytic reactions that are beneficial to society. Research should focus on critical challenges and opportunities in both new and proven catalysis technologies. Areas of emphasis may include novel catalyst compositions, structures, operating environment, data science tools, theory, and modeling – preferably in various combinations as dictated by the specific reaction and related knowledge and technology gaps. Target applications include fuels, specialty and bulk chemicals, environmental catalysis, biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals, greenhouse gas mitigation, recycling of waste materials, generation of solar hydrogen, as well as efficient routes to energy utilization. Heterogeneous catalysis represents the main thrust of the program. Proposals related to both gas-solid and liquid-solid heterogeneous catalysis are welcome, as are proposals that incorporate concepts from homogeneous catalysis. Recent research trends have highlighted the need for evaluation of catalyst performance and properties under working conditions, especially as supported by advanced in situ and in operando characterization methods. Catalyst synthesizability and stability present additional research opportunities given the harsh operating environments of many catalytic processes. Topic areas of particular interest include: Energy-related catalysis, utilizing renewable or sustainable energy in lieu of thermal, fossil fuel-based technologies, especially applications in electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and catalytic conversion of biomass-derived chemicals, and also including fuel cell catalysis. Catalysis aimed at closing the carbon cycle (especially conversion of carbon dioxide, methane, and natural gas to fuels and chemical intermediates). Heterogeneous catalytic alternatives to traditionally non-catalytic or homogeneous reaction processes, as well as new catalyst designs for established catalytic processes. Environmental catalysis focused on mitigating both air and water pollutants, and supporting energy-efficient upcycling of waste materials to higher-value products. Catalytic remediation of feedstocks, process streams, products, or effluents. Commercially scalable methods of catalyst synthesis, including durable, poison-resistant, and easily regenerable catalyst formulations and designs. New catalytic materials and architectures (especially those substituting earth-abundant materials for precious and noble metal catalysts). Basic understanding of catalytic materials, reaction pathways, kinetics, and surface reaction mechanisms. Advanced tools for catalyst characterization and theoretical/computational catalysis. Proposals that deal with new catalytic materials, especially when viewed in light of the inherent complexity of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, will be enhanced by including plans to assess: 1) reproducibility and repeatability of data, 2) stability under realistic operating conditions including start-up and shut-down cycles, 3) performance relative to standard or well-known reference materials, and 4) quantitative, well-accepted measures of catalyst activity, selectivity, and catalytic efficiency, such as turnover frequencies, quantum and/or photon yields of photocatalysts, Faradaic efficiency of electrocatalytic reactions, and detailed product analyses and mass balances for the targeted application. NOTE: Proposals that focus on 1) molecular or homogeneous catalysis, 2) the surface science of catalysis, 3) photo redox catalysis, 4) catalytic organic synthesis reactions, and/or 5) fine chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical applications of catalysis may be more appropriately submitted to the Chemical Catalysis program.(CHE 6884) in the Division of Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Proposals focused on biocatalytic processes, including proposals focusing on enzyme engineering, cellular and biomolecular processes, should be submitted to the Cellular and Biochemical Engineering program (CBET 1491). If the proposal focuses on reaction engineering aspects of catalytic processes, submit to the Process Systems, Reaction Engineering, and Molecular Thermodynamics program (CBET 1403). Projects that are interdisciplinary in nature may be jointly funded with other CBET and NSF programs. Program directors will review the submissions and may transfer your proposal to give it the best review situation. Innovative proposals outside of these specific interest areas may be considered. However, prior to submission, it is recommended that the Principal Investigator contact the program director to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review. INFORMATION COMMON TO MOST CBET PROGRAMS Proposals should address the novelty and/or potentially transformative nature of the proposed work compared to previous work in the field.Also, it is important to address why the proposed work is important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact on society and/or industry of success in the research.The novelty or potentially transformative nature of the research should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each proposal. The duration of unsolicited proposal awards in CBET is generally up to three years. Single-investigator award budgets typically include support for one graduate student (or equivalent) and up to one month of principal investigator time per year(awards for multiple investigator projects are typically larger). Proposal budgets that are much larger than typical should be discussed with the program director prior to submission.

Who can apply Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"

TheEngineering of Biomedical Systemsprogram is part of the Engineering Biology and Health cluster, which also includes: 1) theBiophotonicsprogram; 2) theBiosensingprogram; 3) theCellular and Biochemical Engineeringprogram; and 4) theDisability and Rehabilitation Engineeringprogram. The goal of theEngineering of Biomedical Systems(EBMS) program is to provide opportunities for fundamental and transformative research projects that integrate engineering and life sciences to solve biomedical problems and serve humanity in the long term. Projects are expected to use an engineering framework (for example, design or modeling) that supports increased understanding of physiological or pathophysiological processes. Projects must include objectives that advance both engineering and biomedical sciences. Projects may include: methods, models, and enabling tools applied to understand or control living systems; fundamental improvements in deriving information from cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems; or new approaches to the design of systems that include both living and non-living components for eventual medical use in the long term. TheEBMS programsupports fundamental and transformative research in the following areas of biomedical engineering: Developmentof validated models (living or computational) of healthy and pathological tissues and organ systems that can support improved fundamental understanding of these systems or that could be applied in the future for development and testing of medical interventions; Designand validation of systems that integrate living and non-living componentsfor improved understanding of physiology that could be applied in the future for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment ofdisease or injury; Design and subsequent application of technologies andtools toinvestigate fundamental physiological and pathophysiological processes; Advancedbiomanufacturing of three-dimensional tissues and organs; and Application of engineering tools and principles, including mathematical modeling, to quantitatively study the immune system in health and disease and to develop techniques for controlling and modulating a host&rsquo;s immune response to challenges such as infectious diseases, cancer, implants, autoimmune disorders, wounds, etc. The long-term impact of the projects can be related to effective disease diagnosis and/or treatment, or improved health care delivery. However, immediate goals should focus on improved fundamental understanding of cell and tissue function in normal or pathological conditions and advancing biomedical engineering. Innovative proposals outside of these specific areas of biomedical engineering may be considered.However, prior to submission, it is strongly recommended that the PIs contact the program director to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review. Related programs also fund biomedical engineering research, and PIs are encouraged to examine these to find the appropriate program for submission. The EBMS program does not support proposals having as their central theme drug design and delivery, the development of biomedical devices that do not include a living biological component, or thedevelopment of animal models of disease.For consideration by the EBMS program, proposals that advance the design of tools or technologies should also apply those technologies to advance knowledge in biomedical science. NSF does not support clinical trials; however, feasibility studies involving human volunteers may be supported if appropriate to the project objectives. Projects with a central focus on design or optimization of a device, material, algorithm, or process alone without exploring new fundamental biomedical science are not appropriate for the EBMS program. Furthermore, although research on biomaterials, cellular biomechanics, manufacturing systems, or algorithm/device design may constitute a part of the proposed studies, such research can be more appropriately targeted to other NSF programs: Projects that aim to improve protein engineering or cellular biomanufacturing - either manufacturing cells or cell-derived products - should consider the Cellular and Biochemical Engineering (CBE) program. Projects that focus on the development and application of microphysiological systems that model functional recovery related to a specific human disability or injury mechanism should consider the Disability and Rehabilitation Engineering (DARE) program. Biomaterials-focused projects should consider the Biomaterials (BMAT) program in the Division of Materials Research (DMR). Cellular and tissue biomechanics projects should consider the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) program in the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI). Manufacturing systems proposals should consider the Advanced Manufacturing(AM) program in the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI). Innovative research on signal processing techniques or dynamic biosensing systems should consider the Communications, Circuits, and Sensing-Systems (CCSS) program in the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS). Innovative research on novel devices based on the principles of electronics, optics and photonics, optoelectronics, magnetics, opto- and electromechanics, electromagnetics, and related physical phenomena, also including material-device interaction, should consider the Electronics, Photonics and Magnetic Devices (EPMD) Program in the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS). INFORMATION COMMON TO MOST CBET PROGRAMS Proposals should address the novelty and/or potentially transformative nature of the proposed work compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important to address why the proposed work is important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact of success in the research on society and/or industry.

Training to develop stormwater zoning, an essential tool for your territory (Training)

France · FR

Who can apply Commune · Intercommunalité / Pays

Urbanization and increasing soil impermeability generate and accentuate flood and aquatic environment pollution phenomena. Climate change reinforces the risks associated with these phenomena. The competent community must define the stormwater management policy it wishes to implement, so that urbanization (current and future) has the lowest possible impact on the natural water cycle, the environment in general, and indirectly on the community's finances. Article L.2224-10 of the General Code of Local Authorities stipulates that municipalities (or their competent groupings) must define stormwater zoning adapted to their territory by addressing current challenges. For the competent community, the development of stormwater zoning is an obligation for high-stakes territories, which is part of a broader policy to improve the living environment and the environment. A specific approach for each territory must be developed; this training will propose a methodology broken down into several steps for the development of the document. As a reference, a methodological guide has been published by Cerema to help and support stakeholders in this process, based on examples of the establishment and implementation of stormwater zoning. …

Training on safety diagnostics of level crossings - remote (Training)

France · FR

Who can apply Etablissement public dont services de l'Etat

Level crossings (LCs) are points where a railway line and a road meet, managed by very different modes, and consequently represent high-risk areas. The circular of July 11, 2008, on LC safety, launched a campaign of safety diagnostics to assess risks and explore avenues for improving safety at level crossings. On May 3, 2019, a national action plan for securing level crossings was issued by the Minister of Transport (Borne plan). On December 24, 2019, the LOM (Mobility Orientation Law) mandated the road manager, in coordination with the railway manager, to carry out road safety diagnostics for level crossings. To complement these changes, and to meet the demand indicated in the national action plan, the diagnostic document and its methodology were established through the decree of April 6, 2021, followed by the order of May 3, 2021. Educational objectives Fill in the LC safety diagnostic document Know and evaluate information related to road safety at the LC (visibility, legibility, consideration of active modes, etc.) Be able to propose action plans in response to deficiencies…

Training on the development of main roads (ARP): taking into account the changes introduced by the 2022 Cerema guide (Training)

France · FR

Who can apply Intercommunalité / Pays · Département · Région

Two-lane, three-lane, or 2x2-lane main roads, located outside urban areas and equipped with at-grade intersections, constitute a heritage of approximately 100,000 km, managed primarily by local authorities. They play a structuring role for the networks and territories in which they are located, fulfilling various functions in the service of mobility. Their development must take into account these different functions, while integrating the diversity of users, motorized or not, in order to provide them with an appropriate level of service and to enhance their safety. For this, the technical recommendations were updated in August 2022 in a renewed version of the guide "Development of Main Roads" which now constitutes the reference to be taken into account by designers. Educational objectives At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to: Identify and apply the different design rules to be taken into account for the development of a main road Identify and integrate the main changes in issues and technical rules introduced by the guide Implement a global development design integrating all the rules and issues of the guide, Evaluate the correct application of the guide in a project carried out by a third party <…

Develop a MaaS project: for single access to local mobility services (Training)

France · FR

Who can apply Région · Etablissement public dont services de l'Etat

MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) aims for single access to all mobility offerings. It is developing strongly in France, thanks to technological and regulatory advances. Faced with user expectations, local authorities must evolve their systems to move towards MaaS. But the subject is complex, both technically and in terms of governance. Local authorities must master this complexity to successfully carry out their MaaS project, and make it a tool at the service of their public policies. As for private actors, they are generally positioned in a sub-domain of MaaS (route calculation, mobile ticket, payment, application) and must extend their skills to best meet the expectations of local authorities or employers. Data management and exchanges between partners are essential to the success of these projects. Educational objectives At the end of the module, the trainee must be able to: Identify the possible modalities for the development of service mobility in a territory and their contribution to mobility policies Understand the different economic models of MaaS Master the challenges of MaaS development Know how to find essential documentary resources on MaaS and emblematic projects Program <…

Securing pedestrian movements and maintaining accessibility: urban and pedestrian construction sites (Training)

France · FR

Who can apply Commune · Etablissement public dont services de l'Etat

This training will enable you to secure pedestrian movements around your construction sites and maintain the continuity of accessible routes. After theoretical contributions on the challenges of making construction sites accessible, the regulatory framework and good practices, concrete case studies and on-site awareness will be offered. Pedestrian paths in neighborhoods under construction can be difficult for everyone to use. The implementation of urban construction sites is characterized both by a public space where many users and multiple uses coexist, but also by the intervention of a multitude of actors. The articulation between these different stakeholders (road project management, building project management, companies and network concessionaires) requires continuous monitoring and training on this issue. Taking pedestrians into account during urban construction work must meet two essential objectives: guaranteeing their safety and comfort, with regard to the dangers linked to work and traffic; ensuring the continuity of the travel chain and maintaining its accessibility. Educational objectives Guarantee the safety and comfort of pedestrian movements during construction work. Know the needs and difficulties of people with reduced mobility…

Understanding road restraint systems for communities (training)

France · FR

Who can apply Commune · Intercommunalité / Pays · Département · Région

The implementation of restraint systems is an essential element of road infrastructure safety, whether on new or existing infrastructure. Today, a quarter of road deaths occur after a collision with an obstacle. Several guides, instructions or recommendations specify the situations and conditions in which road restraint systems must be installed (current section, central median, etc.). An order of March 2, 2009, as amended (RNER), specifies the performance requirements for these devices and the rules for their commissioning. Since 2013, the use of CE certified products has become mandatory. The competent services of local authorities need to be able to define a policy in this area, based, in a number of cases, on the advisability of implementing a restraint system. These choices fall within the asset management policy and the personnel to be trained need assessment criteria or thresholds, in addition to knowledge of the texts. This training is an in-depth module to review the changes made since the transition to CE marking. Educational objectives At the end of the training, trainees will be able to…

Applying new rules on visibility in road design (training)

France · FR

Who can apply Commune · Intercommunalité / Pays · Département · Région · Etablissement public dont services de l'Etat

The rules for the geometric design of road infrastructure are based on foundations, generally old, some of which have been subject in recent years to a global re-examination in light of an update of knowledge of the parameters influencing their definition (technical, technological developments, user behavior, ...). The objective of this global re-examination is notably to seek potential margins allowing for the optimization of the integration and cost of infrastructure. As part of this approach, the rules on visibility and on radii at salient angles of the longitudinal profile, appearing in current technical guides (ARP1, ICTAAL2, ....) have been revised and integrated into a Cerema technical guide entitled "Design of roads and motorways, revision of rules on visibility and on radii at salient angles of the longitudinal profile" published in October 2018. These new rules, applicable to the national road network by ministerial instruction of October 01, 2018, can, for the sake of coherence of the road network throughout the territory, serve as a reference document for the development of local authority projects. ARP (aménagement des routes principales - principal road development) ICTAAL (instruction sur les conditions techniques d'aménagement des autoroutes de liaison - instruction on the technical conditions for the development of connecting motorways) Pedagogical objectives…
