Three new projects in the humanities and social sciences join the PEPR!

The Bioproductions research program is expanding with three new projects in the field of humanities and social sciences, winners of the 2025 call for expressions of interest. These three projects will explore the economic, social, political, and cultural dimensions of the bioeconomy.

On 18 November, the research axis dedicated to cross-disciplinary methodologies and tools within the PEPR Bioproductions programme organised a day of discussions in Paris on the methods, models and platforms that are currently transforming biotechnology. Several projects presented the tools they use or are developing as part of the programme, with the aim of identifying those that could be used by other projects.

IFP Energies nouvelles, co-leader of the Bioproductions Priority Research Program and Equipment (PEPR), has announced the appointment of Fadhel Ben Chaabane as co-director of the program. He succeeds Abdelhakim Koudil, whom we warmly thank for his commitment and contribution to structuring the program.

The research team behind the FillingGaps project, led by Gabriel Paës (INRAE), recently published the results of a study aimed at observing wood undergoing controlled decomposition at the cellular level in the journal New Biotechnology (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nbt.2025.04.001).
