Stratégie d'établissement

Inorganic networks such as clays and zeolites are affected by the presence of water. These materials, which are either present in large quantities in nature or obtained synthetically, are at the heart of numerous phenomena such as adsorption, catalytic activity, pollution transfer, desalination…. These fields of application require global characterisation of the water/solid system, which is part of one of the CNRS's thematic priorities focused on fluid control at all scales. From the nanometric to the macroscopic scale, the behaviour of fluids of all kinds requires the development of studies based on both experimental analysis and theoretical work. The associated socio-economic issues are major, with sustainable development, wastewater filtration and seawater desalination just a few examples.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The 2 target laboratories (in alphabetical order: IC2MP, METIS) have teams with recognised expertise in the characterisation of liquid-solid interfaces and applications of porous solids, including groundwater-river and groundwater-transfer in the critical zone. For each of them, strengthening the theme covered by this project will contribute to international visibility in this field.

Stratégie Internationale

The scientific community active in the field of dynamic characterisation of water in porous solids in France needs to be strengthened, given the importance of this topic both from a fundamental point of view (understanding processes from the microscopic scale to the scale of soil-groundwater bodies transfers and in the hyporheic zone) and in the context of more applied developments linked to sustainable development, in particular the recharging of groundwater bodies. The implementation of characterisation techniques for monitoring fluid dynamics, as well as multi-scale theoretical calculations. Concentrating forces and increasing skills in this area requires not only appropriate training in universities, but also the recruitment of talented scientists who are already trained and experienced in this field. Recruiting a talented young researcher with solid experience abroad is made easier by the CPJ scheme, which is attractive and will provide a suitable environment for the successful candidate to begin his or her project. This project should also help to promote networking between a community at the interface between two CNRS institutes (chemistry and science of the universe), which seems to be somewhat dispersed at present. Strengthening this theme, which is of national and European interest, should make it easier to set up European networks in the near future.

Résumé du projet scientifique

Like any liquid, the presence of water, whether deliberate or accidental, alters the physico-chemical properties of materials. The aim of this project is to characterise the dynamics of water within porous materials in order to establish the resulting properties. The approach will combine both experimental techniques (in the laboratory and in the field) and multi-scale theoretical developments, with a view to a range of applications spanning all temporal and spatial scales. While the project will initially focus on water, its extension to other fluids may be considered in the longer term..

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The research theme of this CNRS Chair could be applied to the various universities targeted in the region, depending on the place of recruitment. In particular, the successful candidate could contribute to teaching in physical chemistry or even theoretical calculations at bachelor's or master's level in line with his/her profile..

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
