The recycling market is expanding, even to assembly plants! Using a software ecosystem, the European ALICIA project aims to promote the circulation of production resources. Scientists from IMT Atlantique involved in the project are working to develop a platform to optimize production lines, by minimizing machine changeovers and promoting the use of second-hand resources.

Intense rainfall events linked to climate change generate dynamic runoff which, through erosion, removes materials from the soil, including contaminants. At IMT Nord Europe, research teams are carrying out complementary measurement and modeling work to understand how this displaced matter enters the water cycle, and how to better manage territories.

StressID is a multimodal database for identifying stress. The project represents one of the largest collections of audio, video and physiological expressions of stress collected from numerous participants. It aims to provide an experimental protocol that is simple to reproduce. Maria Zuluaga, a researcher in the Data Science department at EURECOM, and her PhD student Hava Chaptoukaev tell us all about StressID.
