Molecular Sciences: this theme aims to deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in hydrates (phase equilibrium, formation/dissociation mechanisms, transport, selectivity, and molecular dynamics).
Process Engineering: this theme covers technological applications such as gas storage and transport, gas or liquid effluent capture and separation, desalination and leachate treatment, as well as thermal and refrigeration applications.
Geosciences: this theme addresses issues related to hydrate formation in natural sedimentary environments on continental margins and in the subsurface of polar regions.
Astrophysics and Planetology: this theme focuses on the study of questions related to the formation of the primitive elements that gave rise to bodies in the solar system. It includes the study of hydrate formation from volatile compounds under extreme conditions (low temperature) and at both low and high pressures.
