- | We will use the first two years to prepare to cross the threshold of 200 FTEs by mobilizing increasing numbers of researchers within the laboratories and by expanding into new areas of research, training, action and innovation. Hence, a number of specialists in air pollution analysis (a new theme addressed by the LUS) will join us from 2019 onwards, which we are preparing for by integrating four chemist colleagues as of 2017. Similarly, in 2019 we will incorporate into the project additional members of the Lyon Philosophical Research Institute, a research laboratory in philosophy and ethics (EA 4187). | + | |
- | We hope to open up new fields within a maximum of four years after the launch of the LUS. The public health and environment theme will be developed and constructed based on the skills and network of the veterinary colleague and member of the Steering Committee; this will enable us to address issues surrounding the public health risk, regulations and safety, key concerns central to the urban Anthropocene. We would also like to develop cooperation with INRA in order to address in a more systematic manner the question of urban " | + | We will use the first two years **to prepare to cross the threshold of 200 FTEs** by mobilizing increasing numbers of researchers within the laboratories and by expanding into new areas of research, training, action and innovation.
