Physics, chemistry, geophysics, and Earth sciences
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
Objective: The group will provide great “networking” opportunities that could lead to the submission of research projects
President : Léonard Angélique, Professor at ULiège
Astrobiology: from stars and planets to extreme life
Objective: Promote multidisciplinary research (astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geology, geophysics, paleontology) in the study of the origin, evolution, distribution of life, adaptation to extreme conditions, and habitability conditions in the universe
President : Javaux Emmanuelle, Professor at ULiège
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Objective: To enable Belgian astronomers and astrophysicists, particularly young researchers, to better understand the work carried out in the country's various astronomical institutes.
President : Siess Lionel, F.R.S.-FNRS "Maître de recherches" at ULB
Cosmoparticle physics (CosPa)
Objective: The development of a network of researchers interested in multidisciplinary questions at the crossroads of cosmology, particle physics and astrophysics (see website: cosmoparticles.be )
President : Maris Ioana, Lecturer at ULB
Karstological studies
Objective: Studies of the karst environment from a multidisciplinary perspective. Meeting of different specialists
President : Vandycke Sara, Qualified Researcher of the F.R.S.-FNRS at UMons
Geochemistry
Objective: Promote contacts between geochemists whatever their field of specialization: sedimentary and environmental geochemistry, biogeochemistry, geochemistry of rocks, soils and fluids, analytical geochemistry
President : Vander Auwera Jacqueline, Full Professor at ULiège
Geomechanics
Objective: Promote contacts between researchers working on geomechanics in the broad sense in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation - FWB (and surrounding areas), in order to initiate collaborations on certain themes and train young researchers.
President : Catch up with Hadrien, Lecturer at the Catholic University of Louvain
Wavelets and applications
Objective: Study of wavelet analysis and its applications: mathematics, classical and quantum physics, quantum chemistry, engineering, signal and image processing, biology, etc.
President : Jacques Laurent, F.R.S.-FNRS "Maître de recherches" at UCLouvain
Synchrotron radiation
Objective: Information on the use of synchrotron radiation in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and on new developments in the field. Foreign speakers and from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Multidisciplinary group
President : Filinchuk Yaroslav, Lecturer at UCLouvain
Multidisciplinary magnetic resonance
Objective: This group will allow magnetic resonance research teams (nuclear and electronic) to exchange their experiences in spectroscopy, relaxometry and imaging applied to physics, chemistry and biomedical sciences
President : by Tullio Pascal, F.R.S.-FNRS Director of research at ULiège
