News Summary:

CNRS outlined its vision for an integrated, forward-looking framework, grounded in long-term scientific knowledge, on February 20, 2026, as the European Union prepares to introduce a European Ocean Act aimed at structuring maritime spatial planning and ocean observation. On the same day, the Department of Applications of Research and Relations with Industrials (DARRI) announced it would conduct an afternoon training session on April 1, 2026, in collaboration with the Human Resources Department, focusing on translating inventions into useful health products such as drugs, vaccines, or diagnostic kits. Previously, on February 19, 2026, a study by Romain Dalidet, Sébastien Tanzilli, and Audrey Dot, collaborating with Université Côte d’Azur CNRS Institut de physique de Nice (INPHYNI) and Thales Research and Technology (TRT), detailed a significant advance in quantum-enhanced sensing, employing two-photon signals to reduce noise for clearer measurements. Earlier that day, the AMI project (Belonging – Mutualisation – Integration), launched in 2020, secured renewal from the National Research Agency as a winner of the IDéES project call from France 2030, extending its partnership with CNRS until March 2029. This followed a tender notice issued by CNRS DELEGATION PARIS-CENTRE on February 18, 2026, for the acquisition, delivery, and installation of a transient absorption microscope at the Institut Des Nanosciences De Paris (Insp) Umr 7588 Cnrs in France.
