PEPR LUMA

The PEPR LUMA aims to exploit the unique properties of light to study and control various systems at the interfaces between physics, chemistry, engineering, life sciences, health, heritage, and environmental sciences. LUMA is co-managed by the CEA (represented by Céline Fiorini-Debuisschert, CEA Research Director) and the CNRS (represented by Rémi Métivier, CNRS Research Director). LUMA is divided into several actions: targeted thematic research initiatives (Moonshot Projects), targeted projects that aim to create a national network of distributed platforms (Infrastructures Hub), and collaborative research projects selected through calls for proposal. This national programme seeks to structure and focus the efforts of the French scientific community on topics with a high scientific and socio-economic impact, to strengthen national research infrastructures at the highest international level, and, finally, to increase the visibility and impact of this critical strategic field.
