The startup Alice & Bob has been selected as part of the European Innovation Council's Accelerator call for proposals.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analyzing matter. With PANACEA, it is no longer limited to the academic community at the forefront of this field. The broader public research sector and industry can now access this highly valuable technology throughout Europe. The project is coordinated by the Very High Field NMR Center of Lyon (CNRS / Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 / ENS de Lyon).

The European research project ELOBIO (2023-2026) aims to produce carbon-free hydrogen from biomass. Coordinated by IRCELYON, ELOBIO brings together a consortium of researchers, including members of ENS de Lyon's Chemistry Laboratory.

Since its inception in 2024, the Nanomer project—which brings together European and Latin American institutions focused on nanoscience—has given rise to several initiatives in both education and research. Here’s a look back at the activities in which ENS de Lyon participated in 2025-2026 and at upcoming projects.
