Funding

Our group is part of the Institute Charles Sadron (ICS), a national research laboratory of the CNRS (= Centre National de Recherche Scientifique) also associated with the University Louis Pasteur (ULP) of Strasbourg. Both public institutions provide financial support to our research.

We obtain additional funding from

• the LEA programme "Macromolecules in finely divided media" between the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP, Mainz, Germany) and the ICS (1998-2006)
• the International Research Training Group "Soft Condensed Matter Physics of Model Systems", Grenoble-Strasbourg-Konstanz (MENESR 2001-2010)
• the Marie Curie Research Training Network "POLYFILM - Confined Polymer Films: Deviations from Bulk Behaviour" (2004-2008)
• the COST Action P12 "Structuring of Polymers" (2003-2007)
• the ANR Blanc "Tailored self-assembled transient networks" TSANET (2006-2009)
• the ANR Blanc "Influence of long-range interactions of sheared polymer brushes" SPBRUSH (2006-2009)
• the ANR Blanc "Correlations hors equilibre et fluctuations" CHEF (2006-2009)
• the CPR COPOLA "programme de recherche sur la durée de vie de polymeres industriels" (2006-2010)
• the CNRS/KOSEF (2006-2008)
• the Institut Universitaire de France "J. Baschnagel" (2003-2008)
