Sorbonne University is the winner of the ERC Synergy 2025 call. The FireSpace project has been awarded a budget of \u20ac13.7 million for the period 2026-2031. The Acad\u00e9mie Spatiale d’Ile de France is particularly associated with the efforts that have led to this success for Sorbonne Universit\u00e9.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FireSpace’s ambition is to contribute to the fire safety of space habitats. In particular, the project is looking for ways to control flame propagation in polymer materials, which have crucial thermophysical properties but are also highly flammable. The specificity of the space environment is due both to its variable gravitational level and its relatively high oxygen content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this challenge, Serge Bourbigot<\/strong> (Ecole Centrale de Lille, France), Bart Marci<\/strong> (University of Ghent, Belgium), Florian Meyer<\/strong> (ZARM, University of Bremen, Germany) and Guillaume Legros<\/strong> (Sorbonne University, France) have devised FireSpace, at the interface between materials science and the experimental and numerical mechanics of reactive flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
