CHEMACT Projet
The CPER CHEMACT Project
The Michel-Eugène Chevreul Institute is leading the CHEMACT Project (Chemistry and Materials at the Crossroads of Transitions), which was selected and funded under the 2021–2027 State-Region Planning Contract (CPER). This is a structuring project centered on the laboratories within the Institute (LASIRE, UCCS, and UMET) in collaboration with the GEMTEX and CéraMaths laboratories. The project involves a significant portion of the Chemistry and Materials sector, with over 350 people participating.
The CPER CHEMACT project aims to develop sustainable solutions for the design and deployment of new materials with targeted functionalities, high performance, and recyclability. The project relies on a continuum of upstream and downstream research, inherently interdisciplinary, with strong innovation potential in synthesis, advanced characterization, enhancement of existing device performance, as well as the development of new fabrication and valorization processes. The solutions proposed will support ongoing and future transitions, addressing the major and complex challenges facing our society.
The project is structured around six work axes. The first three axes focus on targeted initiatives, called “flagship actions,” addressing major topics within the “Chemistry-Materials” theme:
- Synthesis, Processes, and Transformations
- Functional Materials of the Future
- Materials Recycling
The remaining three axes are transversal, supporting the first three axes as well as all teams participating in the project:
- Multi-Scale Modeling, Simulation, and Predictive Approaches
- Equipment and Methodological Developments in Advanced Characterization
- Researchers, Students, Citizens: Working Together for a Global Transition
