"Nearly a third (30%) of the population in France is already myopic, and the epidemic is set to worsen, with the WHO estimating that around 5 billion people (50% of the world's population) will be myopic by 2050".
In addition to various approaches, such as braking lenses to slow the progression of myopia in children and other myopia treatments, the Premyom consortium aims to
The consortium includes
The multidisciplinary nature of this project will enable us to take into account social factors, such as the time children spend indoors, as well as biological, medical and physical factors,

"The realization of this new way of understanding and visualizing cognition offers a major opportunity: that of being able to guess, from an image of the brain, the cerebral activity at play."
Precision numerical simulation
In the world of simulation, things quickly become complex as soon as you move away from simple geometries and isolated movements. Interactions between billions of fluid-like elements become almost incalculable, especially when the properties of the medium change with orientation.
PCBend is an open-source process for bending electronic circuits. The result is very interesting, especially with LED components.
Agriculture and Digital - White Paper
Understand, control, prepare, equip and support the deployment of digital technology in agriculture and the food chain. Today's agricultural sectors must adapt to environmental issues (global warming, collapse of biodiversity, reduction of resources, etc.), ethical issues (respect for animal welfare) and also ensure the maintenance of a living rural fabric, based on attractive "family" agriculture.
A mathematical model to reduce the polarization of opinions
The results of Frank Valencia and his team already show that social networks can be designed differently, by adjusting the algorithms according to the biases that will impact the flow of influence and thus produce different results, with less polarization.
