Academic professorships
The EADS Foundation’s academic program is its way of bolstering teams working on upstream research projects in areas that could eventually lead to material applications in the field of aerospace and aeronautic.
Since 2004, 7 research and academic professorships have been created by the EADS Corporate Foundation.
Castex chair of cyber strategy
The decision to establish this chair was born of a simple observation: cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly numerous, sophisticated and effective. The research program will help to raise awareness of the issues at stake, the current risks and threats, encourage more thought about the concepts of cyber space and cyber strategy, and draw up a map of cyber security requirements.
Budget: €570 000 - Duration: 2011/2014 - Circle of Partners of the French Institute of Higher National Defence Studies
Dynamics of complex mechanical systems Chair
The aim of the Chair is to develop:
- Original, ground-breaking research in this field applied to specific mission aircraft including helicopters.
- Training linked to this high-level research.
- International reknown in scientific fields inherent to the Chair.
Budget: €1m - Duration: 2009/2013 - Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers and the Centrale de Marseille.
Poncelet Chair
The aim is to encourage innovative, original research in mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry, the theory of numbers, combinatorial analysis and mathematical physics, and their application, and to strengthen Franco-Russian cooperation in mathematics.
Budget: €120 000 - Duration: 2009/2011 - PONCELET Laboratory.
Advanced modelling of composites manufacturing processes Chair
Research work focuses on two main areas:
- Modeling processes for implementing materials.
- Strategies for calculating coupled, multi-physical and large multi-scale models.
Budget: €1m – Duration: 2008-2012 – Centrale Nantes
Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation
This research program aims to strengthen and increase the visibility of mathematical modeling and numerical simulation, a crucial field for developing technology and innovating in industry.
Budget: €1.332m – Duration: 2008-2011 – Polytechnique & INRIA
European Chair on Intellectual Capital Management
The objectives of this chair are to contribute to the development of knowledge and research capacities, to stimulate the research in intellectual capital management, at a global scale and making it more visible.
Budget: €30 000 - Duration: 2008/2009 – University of Paris South XI
Artificial vision Chair
3 main topics of research:
