Results of the ATHENA call for research projects: financing 7 projects of the UO

In November 2021, the University of Orléans, in partnership with the ATHENA institutions and thanks to the financing of the National Research Agency (Investments for the Future programme), organised a call for research projects within the framework of the ATHENA European University.

This action aims at supporting both research collaborations that are already engaged and new initiatives. Its other objective is to initiate collaborative research work in order to apply for other research financing programmes (Horizon Europe or other binational programmes).

The call for proposals has a total budget of €285,000.

The international jury has selected the 7 following projects led by researchers of the UO together with teams of the ATHENA research network:
 
•    A Methodology for the Design of a Safe, Secure and User-Friendly Reactive Programming Language for the Internet of Things – UO (LIFO) and University of Maribor (Programming Methodologies Laboratory, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science)

•    Development of tools for muscular fatigue study and Neurophysiological investigations of Peripheral Nervous System – UO (PRISME) and University of Maribor (System Software Laboratory, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science)
