Stratégie d'établissement
The goal of the chair is to develop research aimed at introducing concepts of frugality in the fields of materials science and engineering, as well as in medical device design. This involves a design approach that considers the chemical composition, microstructure, architecture, and mechanical assembly of materials, as well as their impacts on health.
Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil
The two targeted laboratories, MatéIS and LaMCoS, are renowned institutions in the Lyon region, specializing in materials science and engineering, with international visibility.
MatéIS focuses on materials (metals, ceramics, polymers) and their composites, integrating material characteristics at different scales. The laboratory is distinguished by its experimental and modeling approach to studying the relationships between manufacturing, microstructure, and properties. It works on multifunctional materials for health, energy, transportation, and construction.
LaMCoS specializes in the masteryis a recognized expert laboratory offor mechanical systems, by studying interfaces and by integrating research in tribology, multi-scale, and multiphysics mechanics. These laboratories consist of several teams and are supported by INSA Lyon, CNRS, and other institutions.
Stratégie Internationale
The international presence of CNRS is reflected in its strong involvement among scientists, teams, and consortia that have won various project calls organized within a European framework. CNRS is also distinguished by a large number of research structures, projects, networks, research infrastructures, as well as co-funded doctoral programs and regular exchanges of scientists with foreign institutions, universities, or research institutes. These collaborations contribute to the global prominence of France, beyond science, with a real return on investment. Furthermore, CNRS recruits a significant number of non-French scientists, both among its permanent staff and, even more so, among non-permanent staff, particularly doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. As with all major research institutions, maintaining such recruitment is essential. International cooperation is therefore inherent to CNRS's scientific policy, and it is within this general framework of global outreach and international attractiveness that this junior international chair project is situated. The potential host laboratories, MatéIS and LaMCoS, fully align with this strategy and maintain numerous international collaborations, including with the IRL Elyt Max. Several of their permanent members are of foreign nationality, as are a third of their doctoral students.

Résumé du projet scientifique
The "materials by design" approach involves starting with a set of required properties and then designing the material or material combination that can exhibit this combination of properties. Candidates for this chair will work within this framework with an additional constraint in the specification, which must be explicitly defined and demonstrated: frugality. This concept of frugality is understood here in the context of materials science, in line with recent societal awareness of the environmental impact of human activities (particularly in the field of materials engineering) and climate change. It may, for example, involve significantly reducing the energy required to produce materials, drastically cutting the use of critical or geopolitically sensitive elements, or minimizing the environmental impact of processes or materials. This frugality will be demonstrated through Life Cycle Analysis methods.
Résumé du projet d'enseignement
The CNRS Chair will be developed in educational partnership with INSA Lyon through courses focused on frugality in materials science. INSA has significant training needs in the area of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in materials science and engineering, as well as in methodologies for reducing the energy and environmental costs of processes. These courses will be open to a broad audience. Through the many research groups (GdR) and scientific interest groups (GIS) in which MatéIS and LaMCoS are involved (such as Réparer l'Humain, HEA, Mécabio Santé, ArchiMeta, etc.), thematic schools will also be organized to train both young and established researchers on the concepts of frugality in materials science and engineering, biomaterials, and medical devices.

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.
