The INSIGHT project proposes to bring together and stimulate the various research communities of the institution, with a strong interdisciplinary foundation, around the processing of language data towards a high level of conceptualization (in context). We will develop thoughtful solutions to support, expand, and align research in the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the one hand, and the humanities on the other. The objective is to address a major scientific challenge for the academic community, but above all to enable the development of effective technological solutions for the benefit of citizens.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cMetastructured Materials for Engineering (I-META)\u201d aims to develop these new artificial materials to control different types of waves (acoustic, elastic, mechanical) and to create new demonstrators and systems producing unique properties and functionalities. The objective is to establish a solid platform and synergy between academic and industrial partners, bridging the gap between high-level disruptive fundamental research and applied research focused on the development of technology-oriented metamaterials with economic and societal impact.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the scientific level, the ambitious and coherent objective of this IMPACT project is to design, explore, model, and achieve a new class of multiphysical materials, capable of structuring and controlling acoustic, elastic, and mechanical waves, as well as producing multifunctional metastructures with robust, broadband properties, establishing a new paradigm for compact, multifunctional devices for different types of waves. This objective is fully in line with one of the six major directions and challenges of the Lorraine Initiative of Excellence call for projects, namely \u201cThe evolution of materials issues in the 21st century (from resource-related questions to those linked to the circular economy, through metallurgy and new materials)\u201d.

The I-META project is an interdisciplinary project composed of four scientific axes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
